CSS - Tables Floating To Bottom In Ie
Hello all,
Slight issue with everyone's favorite web browser - my tables keep floating to the bottom of the page. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Here's a simple example: Code:

--Simon Similar TutorialsEDIT: hmm the embedded image isn't showing for me... here's a link: http://i34.tinypic.com/dh7qr6.jpg Referencing the attached image, any ideas about how to achieve this layout using floats (rather than tables)? The part that's giving me trouble is the bottom-left set of links, that should be aligned to the bottom of the container. Also, the width of the container is not fixed - it shouldn't have width specified at all, and expand to fit it's contents. I'm not worried at all about fonts, borders, padding, colors, etc, just trying to achieve the attached macro concept using CSS, best-practices and w/out tables. This layout is easily achieved using tables; the following markup (using tables) will render and behave as described - regardless of the size of the links, the size of the image, or the length of the description, but obviously I'd like to know how to do this with best practices of floating divs. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

TYIA for any suggestions. i am trying to make a menu so it goes all the way to the right of the screen in my header. I have an image to the left. I want the menu always to be at the right no matter what the user does to the screen. I have gotten the effect that i want but i had to use tables. I want to avoid using tables. Here is the link to the webpage of the desired effect using tables: http://skonline.org/courses//support-courses/glenn/jana2-diffmenu.htm I have attached the css and copy and pasted the parts of importance div#header { margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 2px; background-color: white; background-image: url(airplane.gif); position: relative; } #header div#rightnav { position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 232px; } .header-title { background: transparent; padding-left: 7px; color: rgb(68, 34, 0); vertical-align: middle; font-weight: bold; font-size: 180%; } .header-rt-nav { width: 130px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-left: 1px solid rgb(68, 34, 0); border-right: 1px solid rgb(68, 34, 0); vertical-align: middle; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(68, 34, 0); } .header-rt-nav ul { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(68, 34, 0); line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; } .header-rt-nav li { list-style-type: none; display: block; } .header-rt-nav li a { padding: 1px 5px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(68, 34, 0); } .header-rt-nav li a:link { color: rgb(68, 34, 0); } .header-rt-nav li a:visited { color: rgb(68, 34, 0); } .header-rt-nav li a:hover { color: white; background-color: rgb(68, 34, 0); } THanks! Hi everyone. Im facing a problem. Basically I have one large table, with 4 rows. In each row it has two tables, the tables are floating left to each other, with some margin properties inside the <td> tags. If you would please look here. http://www.thehundreds.com/ideaforum/betahelp.htm ... As you can see, im using a pattern. A new row, each new row has two tables that float too each other. everything is aligned correct until I get to my 4th row. for some reason it wont float left anymore to the procedding row. Anyone know why it does this? I added a new class for the fourth set of tables, and made it clear both on the float, and this happends. http://www.thehundreds.com/ideaforum/beta1.htm ... See now the 4th table on the left works, but the right does not. If anyone can help me out here I would really appreciate it. Thanks a ton. this is bugging the hell out of me, cant find a working answer anywhere (i've tried a bunch of things) So I have 3 images for the top of my page and 3 images for the bottom. The page is enclosed in a div frame titled "frame" each of the 3 columns is enclosed in a frame "leftframe" "centerframe" and "rightframe" Each of the 3 columns has a top which is a fixed size image at the top, a middle which is just empty space for content to go, and a bottom which is a fixed size image at the bottom. Problem: I can't get any of the 3 column's bottoms to stick to the bottom of "frame" I've tried some code in here to do it and it doesn't work.. any help here? thanks! Code:

I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

I currently have the following layout Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
how do i go about making the same layout but using CSS. Each <td> is 50% wide Learning CSS and trying to emulate the following table: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Text 1 |----------------| | | Text 2 | Inner box text| | | Text 3 |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| I can get a nested div to work vertically but not horizontally. I'm trying: Code:
div#container { float: left }
div#title { float: right }
<div id="container">
hello<br>hello
<div id="title">
Text 1<br />
Text 2
</div>
</div>
Which is producing: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Hello | | Hello | | |----------------| | | | Text 1 | | | | Text 2 | | | |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| Perhaps a positioning thing which I don't understand yet? It's not homework so you don't have to do it for me, but rather you could just point to knowledge sources.... Tx! Hi, Can someone help me with why the following header bar doesn't work in Firefox? It just shows the very top of the bar with the two other divs inside of it. Code:

<div style="float: right;"><a href="" title='Add Page'><img src='images/icons/file_(add)_16x16.gif' border='0' alt='Add Page'></a></div>

hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance Hi Everyone, I've been doing modest CSS for a while now and feel like I have a good grasp of it, and generally find a way of doing what I want. But, this has always bugged me and I need to understand what is going on... I think it's a question of Floating. This is in reference to http://www.arabellamusic.co.uk I want the blog posts to be on the left, and some other content on the right. How is the best way to go about doing this? You can check my source, but this was my thinking: Code: HTML
<div class='inner'>
<div class='left'>
BLOG PHP HERE
</div>
<div class='right'>
SOME OTHER STUFF HERE
</div>
</div>
And the CSS:
.inner { width:788px; }
.left { float:left; width:50%; }
.right { float:left; width:50%; }
If you grab my stylesheet and my source, you will see that I have a couple more things in there, but I don't think they could be affecting the rest (text-align etc...) So, am I doing this wrong? I have floated columns in other websites this way and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Incidentally, once it would only work when I set 49% to each, I was assuming this was something to do with the box model I read about, but wasn't too sure. I will try not to play around with the site too much until I get a reply or two, but a few things may jump around as I try stuff! Thanks in advance... James I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? Hi Guys, Am farely new to CSS and was workin on a wordpress site. when I started getting this error ... Now what I want is three DIVs to be placed side by side on the same background image ... so I instill a wrap ...

When using a right float element, IE7 seems to push the elements to the left of it below the right-floated element, instead of to the left where they are suppose to be. Is there a work-a-round and/or hack for this? Cheers! Russ http://jordanmeeter.com/new/links.php If you view that page in Firefox, it displays how it is supposed to. But if you view the page in Internet Explorer, you can see that it is severely ****ed up! Any suggestions? Thanks, Jordan Hello. I spoke with some css developers yesterday on IRC but they failed to fix the problem. They suggested me to ask here for help so I will. I am currently making a new homepage and this is my page; mg-s.org/newly/ I had to edit most of the .css because the page was "floating". Like, some people couldn't see everything and if we zoomed in or out then the page got messed up.. So here is the current progress: mg-s.org/newly/ which is messed up. It's supposed to look like this: pokit.org/get/?00e5090c7ab5a0972f325bb16608f6fb.jpg But as you can see it's not. Here is the style.css : pastebin.com/BPrfZuBd Here is the index.php : pastebin.com/BDQKcxCE I am not that familiar with css so I need help. I've already editing on the size in the .css like on "top" to fix the #panel so it goes futher up but it's not working. Same with the #rightmenu I have a web page in which I have a table and within that table I have a sub table with two columns. I am using css and allow visitors to move the first column from right to left (they both are different sizes). I now have a need the text in column one be wrapped under column two (as you can do with pictures in say MS word). I can't write the text ahead of time at the bottom of column two as that column floats from left to right -- meaning that the text that should go underneath would be different each time. I assume it is not possible with tables to do such a thing, but thought to ask the experts to see if it is possible or there is another logical way of accomplishing it. I could simply call two different files based on the right-float and left-float and right text accordingly in both files, but to me that does not sound such a great idea. i'm currently rewriting my site for xhtml 1.1, and i've decided to give the xhtml some definition (e.g. don't use divs for everything...if it's a paragraph, make it a p, if it's a header, make it h1 and so on). i've got a page that basically follows this order: -header (h1) -4 main menu blocks (div-ul-li-a) -firefox plug (h3) -main content container (div) ----... (small bit of irrelevant content) ----google adsense block (p) ----entry container (div) -------entries (div-h4-ul-li) ----end entry container (/div) -end main content container (/div) -4 less-relevant menu blocks (div-ul-li-a) -footer (hr-p) if that's confusing to you, check out the source code he URL anywho, i css'd the 4 top menu blocks and the firefox plug to clear:right and float:right. they look great. problem #1: when i tried to get the adsense block to float:right within the main content container, it hangs down even with the firefox plug - even though it's in a separate container. i've tried clear:none on the adsense block - but to no avail. i've even tried to make the main content container to float:left - still no go. i thought it might be the fact that i'm using ah h3 tag for the firefox plug, but i changed the tag to a div, and that didn't work, either. then i thought it might be the image replacement trick courtesy douglas bowman: URL -- but even after removing the firefox plug from the xhtml altogether, the adsense aligns with the bottom-most block of the top menu blocks. problem #2: i was hoping that i could get the bottom 4 menu blocks to float:right, and have them meet up with with the top 4 menu blocks, since all 8 are in the same container (the body tag). however the bottom menu blocks are hanging down below the main content container - even when i have them set to clear:none. I even tried to set the main content to a ridiculously small width, but they still hang at the bottom on the right. basically, i want my xhtml 1.1 'working page' (URL) to look and act like my current page: URL ==stipulations== -i'd like to stick to css only. html hacks - e.g. (div class="spacer") (/div) - are messy and they defeat the purpose of separating content from display -- which is the full purpose of xhtml+css. besides, pure css suits my semi-obsessive-compulsiveness. ;-) -i'd also like to avoid using absolute positioning. i tried that with the adsense block, and my text didn't wrap around it, the adsense block actually covered the text. that won't do (unless you can find a way to get my text to wrap around an absolutely-positioned element). ==source code== working xhtml (veiw source) - URL working css - URL current xhtml (veiw source) - URL current css - URL if you need to see any of my other referenced stylesheets, you should know where to look for them. ;-) a HUGE thank-you to anybody willing to help me!! I'm having a weird situation. I've got a nested divs in a big box. Anyway, I've got one div floating an image on the left and another div with text on the right. Anyway, there's not much text, but under the img div there's a gap in IE7 but not in FF and I was wondering why. For some reason the margin-bottom: 5px; in the <h3> tag causes there to be the gap under the floating div holding the img. I'm wondering why this is happening in IE7 but not in Firefox. I created an example code to show what I mean and placed comments around the h3 tag that seems to be the cause. I put all the css in the html using style tags. I have a screenshot but it doesn't look like I can attach it. Code: <!DOCTYPE html

<!-- This is the text Div that holds an H3 heading
Keep a 106px margin to prevent any later text from wrapping.
Neither Removing the margin nor the padding HERE solves the problem
only the margin-bottom in the h3 tag style seems to matter -->

padding-left: 10px;

margin-right: 0;">Test</h3>
<!-- HERE'S THE QUESTION! why does the "margin-bottom: 5px;"
leave a gap 5px gap underneath the image in IE7 but not firefox.
Who's wrong? IE7 for putting the gap in or firefox for not floating things correctly?
The H3 should be WELL away from the bottom of the div with most font
sizes...Also oddly enough, enclosing the parent div of the h3 in a border
removes the gap under the image BUT a border around the h3 itself does NOT
Why the gap? -->

I need to center a div which contains two columns. Its important that the div encapsulates the content within. This is what I've done so far: CSS: Code: * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
float: left;
width: 960px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 650px;
}
.right {
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="container"> <div class="left"> left content goes here </div> <div class="right"> right content goes here </div> </div> Question: Is it possible to center #container to the middle of the page? Using margin: 0 auto; doesnt work with floating divs. Its very important that #container has a border around .left and .right. Any help will be appreciated Hi I use DIV to display image thumbnails in a row from php loop. for each div containing image I have set the attribute float: left; so that multiple images can be displayed in parallel. Now the problem is that if I have a single image then there is no need to show it on the extreme left of the page but in the center, but the thumbnail is displayed on the extreme left, here is my code till now, PHP Code: echo "<div style=' text-align: center; border: solid 1px #993333; padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: left; margin-left: 6%; '>"; echo "<div style=' text-align: center; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;'> <a href='/$path' rel=\"lightbox\"><img src='/print_resize_image.php?image=$path&type=$extension' width=200 height=150 border=0 ></a> </div></div>"; |
