CSS - Navigation Padding And Border Slow Down
I am designing a site which has a vertical nave which when an item in the list is hovered over it adds the left and right border and decreases the padding by 5 px:
Code:
#navlist2 a
{
width: 168px;
/* extend the sensible area to the maximum with IE5 */
display: block;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
margin-top:5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#navlist2 a:visited {
}
#navlist2 a:hover {
width: 163px;
border-left: 5px solid #fff;
border-right: 5px solid #fff;
padding-left: 5px;
}
It works fine in firefox, but I noticed that there is massive slowdown/lag . So im wondering, why this is happening in IE and how can I fix it? Similar TutorialsHi All, I have a new site and it has a bug that I don't know how to fix. The navigation and sub navigation is done with a list that is styled with CSS to be horizontal. I am not an expert at this, but learned it from a site, but unfortunately can't remember where The thing is, the site works most of the time. But when pages load slow, sometimes the list gets displayed as a normal vertical list and the entire "look" of the navigation is ruined. I'm sure I've done something wrong, but I don't know what. Are there any CSS experts here who can set me straight? The site is http://www.thehousebreakingbible.com/training/index.htm Thanks for your time, Dana Hi there, I am in the process of making a website to purchase tickets for Cannon and Ball's show in Morecambe, and I've tried to make it as standards compliant and usable as possible. I've made a nav bar using a UL tag. This works fine in opera and mozilla, but the hover effect doesn't kick in in IE until you are actually on the text. I've tried using the IE7 patch and that helps none. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The site is: http://cannonandball.1stmorecambe.net/ Style sheet: http://cannonandball.1stmorecambe.net/style.css First off, I'm a new member. I'd like to thank everyone for such a great board. My name is Mike and I'll be a very active user in this community as I enter the world of web design. I have a page with an embedded flash object. I created a CSS Border around the object, and would like to add padding to it so that text can wrap around it. I understand that when adding padding to an object, it actually pushes the border out. I want the padding to reflect outside the border and not inside. All of my CSS has to be inline (the company's site does not allow workers to access template files via FTP). Here's what isn't working: <div style="padding-left:10px;padding-bottom:10px;"> <div style="border: 5px solid rgb(198, 175, 144); float: right;position:relative;right:12px;bottom:9px;"> *flash code* </div> </div> As you can see, I tried adding padding-left and padding-bottom outside the border but the text is still going underneath the object. Is there a better solution to this (using inline css)? Thanks to all. I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out how to fix this css issue. I'm trying to fix what's in the 3rd table content that is the compose new pm message form so that it doesn't have any space between the form and the outer content just like it is on the template that says Form with Alternative Style in the form heading. I can't fix the content class rule because that completely messes up the rest of the page and you can see that if you go back to one of the other two tabs. Template: http://www.kansasoutlawwrestling.com/peach/forms.html My Page JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MtzqR/ I am constructing a website using the sliding doors navigation (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ and http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors2/). I have gone through both articles to successfully create the sliding doors naviagiton that I require. My header image that I wish to place behind the navigation is 780px wide by 263px high. Therefor, I will be placing this navigation at the bottom (baseline) of this image. I have increased my header div size to fit the image (780px x 263px). Then I have padded the navigation to try to make it position on the bottom of the image (padding-top: 236px). Unfortunatly, doing this give a 1px padding difference for IE and Firefox. IE shows it up fine, but Firefox does not. Firefox makes it look like its spaced 1px to many. If i decrease the padding to 235px, Firefox looks fine but IE displays it with 1px to less...I dont want to have to result to browser dependant css, but all hacks are welcome. Heres the code: Code:
body {
text-align: center;
background-color: #7999E4
}
#header{
width: 780px;
background: url('images/head.gif') repeat-x bottom;

Hello, is it possible to start a border-left css 1 or 2 pixels from the left of the element instead of it going to the far left of the element?? I'm building a series of navigation links in boxes on top of each other. I want to pad the links inside their div tags 3 pixels all the way around. I'm seperating the boxes using the border property, 1px solid on the bottom of each cell. The top and the bottom are handled in a seperate class. In firefox, the brower adds the 3 pixels to the overall width (maybe six since I'm padding left/right) so the page comes out like this: --------- | Link 1 | ------------- | Link 2 | ------------- | Link 3 | ------------- Now in IE, it looks correctly. I'm not sure which one is correct, but since IE looks right I assume it's correct. Any way to get the padding to be handled consistently in 2 browsers? Hi, I have a problem with the css for the following page: http://www.designdictator.com/ For the img in the log i do use the following css: #content img { display : block; border : 1px solid #999; padding : 4px; margin : 20px 0; } but in IE6 the padding between the border and the img doesn't display. Firefox does all right. What's wrong? thanx jarra I've written a menu in css and I want to show the user what page they are on by having a little block of colour next to the link that they are on. This link should explain it better: http://www.midwivesonline.com/test.html at least it will do in everything but IE6 on windows where it stretches out too far to the right. The problem lies in the css: http://www.midwivesonline.com/styles/test.css In particular: .currentpagep { padding-right: 155px; border-right: 5px solid #85306B; } If I set the padding-right to just 5px then it's perfect in IE6 but screwed up everywhere else. From the tests I've done I don't think that it's a doctype issue - but then again not sure what the solution is... I'd really appreciate any help on this, Cheers, Tim Hi guys, Ive been playing with this little bit of CSS for a while now and its' definitely getting the better of me. I have been using the demo on www.w3schools.com to create a horizontal menu. That has worked fine. I thought I could use a similar principle to create a horizontal menu. The whole idea is to create a CSS template, and then go through putting the ASP, etc in. I want to have a "leftpanel" on my site which will contain the navigation menu (that I am trying to create) and later make space for featured listings/whatever. Anyway, this is what I have: Code:
ul.ver
{
width: 125px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid black;
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
}
a.ver
{
float: left;
width: 125px;
text-decoration:none;
color: black;
padding: 0.2em 0.6em;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #A2B5CD;
}
div.leftpanel
{
background-color: #CAE1FF;
width: 125px;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
And the HTML is: Code: <div class="leftpanel"> <ul class="ver"> <li><a class="ver" href="#">MenuA</a></li> <li><a class="ver" href="#">MenuB</a></li> </ul> </div> The problem that I have is that no matter what the width of the <a> tags are, and what the width of the "leftpanel" is, there is always 20-ish pixel width strip of the "leftpanel" showing through, even though they are the same width, with no padding, no margins, no nothing! If I play with the padding on the <a> it seems to have no effect! Thanks to anyone who can offer me some help! Porky. Hello. Look at the differences between the borders around photos he http://www.fusionfox.com/2006/02/tinker_toys.html In Firefox and in IE. My CSS looks like this: .imageleft { float:left; margin:10px 10px 10px 0; background:#FFFFFF; padding:3px; border:1px dotted #999999; } Why does the image border disappear in IE? This is killing me.

Here's the issue. wrapper_main will not stretch all the way to the bottom of the page regardless of the amount of text. It maintains what seems to be a bottom margin whether I put a bottom margin of 0 there or not. (Currently, it is set to auto.) I thought maybe wrapper_body was causing the issue, but setting the padding to 0 on wrapper_body did not work. Here's the confusing part. If I set a border with a width of 1px on wrapper_main, it goes all the way to the bottom. However, the border looks bad on the page so I don't want the border. (I'd give you the URL, but the forums wouldn't allow it.) Why is this happening and how do I remedy it? Hi, I just was wondering if there is a way to load an image as background of a div with a 1px padding from the border of that same div. At the moment I have to create two divs. The first div has the border and a padding of 1px and the second div loads the image as background! However I was wondering whether I could do all this in one. Regards, Sim085 I have a navigation done in CSS. I would like to have each button of the navigation have a left AND right border. This is something I've growled about for a long time, because I can't figure out the best way to do it other than haveing an empty link at the end of the list. Here's what I currently have... Code: <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="#" title="Link 1" >Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Link 2" >Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Link 3" class="active" >Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Link 4" >Link 4</a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Link 5" class="navlast">Link 5</a></li> </ul> </div> The class="navlast" puts a right border on the last list item, so that they all have a left and right border. The CSS to present this is as follows... Code:
#nav {
width: 760px;
float: left;
border-top: solid 1px #A1A1C1;
border-bottom: solid 1px #A1A1C1;
background-image: url(../i/navbg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#nav ul {
margin: 0 0 0 25px;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#nav ul li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
}
#nav ul li a:link, #nav ul li a:visited {
display: block;
padding: 4px 20px;
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
border-left: solid 1px #CCD0DF;
text-decoration: none;
}
#nav ul li a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #F7F9FA;
color: #333;
}
#nav ul li a.navlast {
border-right: solid 1px #CCD0DF;
}
#nav ul li a.active {
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #F7F9FA;
color: #333;
}
The active class is set so that the page that is currently being looked at will be marked by that link looking like it's hovered state (in this case it's link 3). The only downfall to this is that the last list item can't have 2 classes, and to add the .active class styles to the .navlast list item will result in link 5 being highlighted all the time. I'm probably making this way too complicated, but is there anyone that might have a suggestion as to how I can get each link list item to have a border and still mark each page as being the one that is currently being viewed? This time, problem is at the left navigation menu. There should be a 10px border on the left side of Denim. It appears fine with firefox but it does not appear at all with ie. Please view the attached image. Or view at : http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/...s&CATEGORYID=16 Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions?

The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers... See code below: Code:

Why is the bottom border of the menuelements (table cells) not getting correct in Firefox?<br>
None-active menuelements should have a border-bottom = black, active should have same bottom-border as page.<br>
Notice that I use border-collapse on the table in order to get the cell-border 1px thick between the menuitems.<br>
If I remove border-collapse, then there is no strange behaviour in Firefox.<br>
Any way to get this working in Firefox without breaking it in IE?

I'm a little puzzled by this weird display bug by IE7, this bug doesn't occur in IE6. It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... |
