CSS - Difference Between Margins In Ie And Margins In Ff
Hi All,
This seems to be a bit of a recurring problem for me in a lot of the new CSS designs I'm trying... but it seems that IE interprets both padding and margins differently than how firefox interprets them. Sometimes it seems to do it the same, and other times differently. Take a look at this: http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/index.html CSS he http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/style.css Now look at it first in Firefox (the desired effect) and then in IE. IE seems to be incapable of understanding this particular piece of the code Code:
#menu {padding-top:140px;text-align:left;padding-left:38px;}
#menu ul{margin:0px;}
#menu ul li{display:inline;margin-right:10px;padding:5px 7px 5px 7px;color:#fff;}
#menu ul li a{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:none;}
#menu ul li a:hover{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:3px solid #fff;}
#menu ul li a.selected{color:#f88000;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:2px solid #f88000;}
Ideas? Help? I know the box model is different for IE than it is for FF but I've tried the box model hack and it doesn't seem to do anything. Similar TutorialsHi! Could some experienced CSS developer please confirm this: All paddings, and right and left margins, always combine (what I mean is if you have a left object with a 5px right margin and a right object with a 5px left margin, the distance between the two will be 10px). However, bottom & top margins never combine. Is all this true? I am having a problem where I have a <div> that holds my body image, margin: 0 auto; Inside that is my content <div> with margin:15px; but this is visually dropping the background image's margin by 15px. The problem compounds every time I add another margin/padding requirement into the rest of the <div>. Code: html, body {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/background.png);
}
#body_image {
width:935;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/body.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
#container {
width:904px;
height:750px;
margin:15px;
}
#slug {
height:15px;
}
Code: <div id="body_image"> <div id="container"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </div> The extent of my CSS is a few tutorials online and the class I took 10 years ago where the teacher said "Here's CSS, you can't do much more than change your font size and color with it... on to tables!" Thought it'd only be fair to give you a little background. according to the css 2.1 spec if you specify the margin/padding of an element in ems then it takes the measurement from that element's font size, this means that * { font size: 1em; } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; } gives h1 a margin of ... 1.5em ... which sucks. and is counter intuitive IMO. how is one supposed to go about having fixed margin spaces when using scalable fonts? now i know that margins overlap so theoretically setting p { margin-top: 1em; } instead would work, but only where a p lies under a h1. if i had a h1 then a h2 then a p then how large would the gap be between the h1 and the h2? and how would i control that reliably? the only way around this i can think of is this * { font-size: 1em; /*let's say this equates to 10px on the device it's being viewed on*/ } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; /*...then this would be 15px*/ margin-bottom 0.67em; /*..this would be 67% of 15px = 10px!*/ } h2 { font-size: 1.2em; /*12px*/ margin-bottom: 0.83em; /*83% of 12px = ... 10px!*/ } p { margin-botton: 1em; } Now, when i scale the font size all the margins should scale in accordance with the <p>. at least, according to my understanding of the spec. i'll try it in the next couple of hours (first thing monday morning just got to work)... anyone else thought of a scalable friendly alternative? Hello. I'll preface this by saying that it's probably a common problem with a simple solution, but I've searched all over the net for a solution and come up empty. It's very possible that I'm using the wrong search terms, however. Anyway, on to the issue I'm having. I recently rebuilt a page using CSS with divs -- prior to that it had been using several nested tables and the code was getting pretty unwieldy -- and it looks great in most of the latest browsers. Except, of course, IE. The way the page is set up, I have two container divs floated left, each one using 48% of the available width, with a 1% margin on each side. It looks perfect in every browser except for IE. In IE it seems that the only style definition that it cares to acknowledge is the float left, so both container divs get forced together on the left side with no space in between. It's not unreadable, but it's not what i want either. Here's the style definition: Code: .newsTypeSection{
width:48%;
float:left;
margin-right:1%;
margin-left:1%;
display: inline;
}
the display:inline; was something i added later as it seemed to be a proposed fix from another site. It didn't make a difference that I could see, so I just left it. Here's an image that shows the difference. The top example is what it should look like. It looks perfect in every browser but IE. URL The bottom is what shows up in IE8, and probably other version of IE as well. Can anyone help me with this? It's beyond frustrating. Please let me know if you need more information. I can't link to the page because it's not public at the moment. ok im having a no brainer and i cant figure out what i did wrong, can someone take a look at this and tell me how to remove the space below. im posting a link, it has the css text posted on the page with the menu im working on that im having difficulty with. thanks in advance, Trizen www dot cooperativecreditsystems slash Untitled-2 dot html apparently being a new user i cant post links but just add the dots as dots and you should be able to find it. Hello, I have been having some problems with ie and auto margins, In firefox my page shows perfectly, but in ie, the page hangs to the left only showing the default margin that ie gives you. I want the page to center in the middle. The link to the page is spanglerdesign.com/test/Mulligan1 I am having a problem with negative margins in IE7. On my website: commentsandcapers I am trying to get IE7 to display the right two boxes in the same way that Firefox displays them?? I have tried a few thing including position: relative in a whole bunch of places, none of which works. Do any of you have any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks! I am having a heck of a time with this side sub-menu. I cannot seem to get the left margins to be equal in IE 6, 7 or 8? My html: Code: <!-- show_menu2 -->
<ul id="sub_menu" class="menu" style="margin-left:-5px;position: relative; background-color:#CFF">

My test page: (pardon the blue background I just added this to see the container.) http://new.ssmarts.org/page.html Thanks so much. I've got two child divs nested in a parent div. They are shown below. The problem I am having is that in IE 5.x for Mac, the top margins do not work, while the left margins are applied properly. The following script works just fine in: safari, mozilla, firefox, opera, netscape, etc. It is only in IE for mac that the top margin is not applied and the two children are positioned improperly. If anyone knows of any fixes, hacks, or just sees some junk in my code, please let me know. All help is greatly appreciated! #parent { width: 700px; height: 66px; } #child1 { width: 288px; height: 56px; margin: 8px 0 0 10px; background-image: url(whatever); background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; } #child2 { width: 115px; height: 40px; margin: 14px 0 0 165px; background-image: url(whatever); background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; } Hey, I am currently learning how to do layouts in pure CSS and am running into a few problems. Some of these i've cleared up, but i'm still learning obviously. My currently issue is that margin / top settings are not consistent throughout browsers. Example: in FF/Mozilla a margin setting or "top" pixel setting is "lower" than in IE. The reason for this is, apparantly, when margins are set to zero my lower div table actually rides up "under" the above div's bottom border, this creates an offset of 5 pixels when setting margins, etc. Whereas, in IE, the div sits directly beneath the 5px border, as I would assume it should. Here are the files i'm using: 1) Webpage: http://www.binjured.com/index2.php 2) CSS File: http://www.binjured.com/style2.css important css (as i see it) a #nav, .top, .main (these are all near the bottom of the file, if you wish to skip extraneous code). I am trying to understand WHY css does the things it does and how I can make it do the right thing. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Finally, there may be some extraneous code that those who know css, know does nothing. It's in there because I am trying to "debug" it but i'm completely lost for the answer now . Hey there. A friend of mine was giving me a hand with the coding for http://myspace.com/457343540 but unfortunately I can't get in contact with him atm, so I thought I'd as here. As you can see in the link provided, firefox display the margins I want, but IE throws them off a bit. I've tried a few different things, but after a couple hours I've given up trying on my own lol. Another issue is the page is obviously stretching off the page (?idk) as the scroll bar goes off the side. Code: <style>

Hi Guys, I have a question about me not understanding how margins work... I am quite perplexed...I am trying to remove the white space between borders of table cells. I am using: Code: td { margin: 0; }
But there is still white space between the cells...how do I make no space between the cells? Code is located he http://www.taipeitripper.com/senshin_center/training_schedule.html Thank you, Evan Jerkunica Hi, My current code is designed to have a flexible number of columns depending on the width of the screen. It is just divs with a left and right margin: HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.css" /> </head> <body> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: div{

The trouble is, the right column isnt spaced correctly to the right side of the browser. Ive included an image to show more accuratly what im hoping to achieve. Can anyone help me with this? i have a left margin of 5px on the navigation links that pushes them away from the edge. however. However, for Corporate Leadership and board of directors, the second line does not indent. How can I fix this? http://zettalogica . com/fulcrum/index.html Also, if anyone has an opinion, do you think it would be better to keep the text for that line the same size as the other links, or would you make the text smaller so that the bar itself is the same height as all the others in the navigation. Thank you Hi, I have a list item that extends onto a second line. How do I keep the second line the indented more than the first line? thanks -S Hello, I have the following issue. I need to create a full screen gray div with another white div inside it, positioned with 5 pixel margin. Basically it looks like a white div with 5px border around it. That wouldn't be a problem after i set body and html height to 100%, but here's what breaks: i add the first gray div (relatively positioned) and make it's min-height: 100%, then add lots of text and see if it autoexpands. It does! Now i add another absolutely positioned white div inside of it and set its position to 5px from each side. And now everything breaks ... doesn't autoexpand ... at least in opera. Here's the css: Code:
body, html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#maindiv {
position: relative;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
background: #777777;
}
#fullscr {
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
right: 5px;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
<div id="maindiv"><div id="fullscr">
lots of text with linebreaks
</div></div>
Does anyone have any ideas how to make it work? Hi All, I am very new to CSS and i am working on preparing a document of an existing CSS. Can someone tell me if the margins are set as this, margin:0px 31px 0px; Is it top,right and bottom? Thanks Prena I have a couple of problems. 1) I have an unwanted margin around my page.
