CSS - Drop-down Overlapping

New construction of a website. I've had no issue with any css. As soon as I started to put in my blog (Wordpress), I realized that changing a would effect other tags that were no encased in this . I dismissed as a flaw in my code that wasn't working correctly with the Wordpress theme. However, now I'm have the same issue with an RSS reader. The code works perfectly in IE9 and Chrome v7. But, it doesn't work in Firefox.

In the recent post section, you see my heading is larger and has a different weight. This is the only tag that code has allotted for these properties. However, it effects the "Continue Reading" and the link at the footer of my page. Again, no issues in IE9 and Chrome v7.

Here's the RSS feed script. What's you're looking for is about halfway down and then near the end. It's the <title> lines.

Code:

<?php
 
    <?php
 
    require_once("rsslib.php");
 
    echo RSS_Display("http://www.xul.fr/rss.xml", 15);
 
    ? >
*/
 
$RSS_Content = array();
 
function RSS_Tags($item, $type)
{
 
        $y = array();
        $tnl = $item->getElementsByTagName("title");
        $tnl = $tnl->item(0);
        $title = $tnl->firstChild->textContent;
 
        $tnl = $item->getElementsByTagName("link");
        $tnl = $tnl->item(0);
        $link = $tnl->firstChild->textContent;
        $tnl = $item->getElementsByTagName("pubDate");
        $tnl = $tnl->item(0);
        $date = $tnl->firstChild->textContent;        
 
 
        $tnl = $item->getElementsByTagName("description");
        $tnl = $tnl->item(0);
        $description = $tnl->firstChild->textContent;
        $y["title"] = $title;
        $y["link"] = $link;

The main thing that I am worried about here is in the header. The header looks exactly the way I want it to in Firefox (Mac and PC) and Safari (Mac), but, in Internet Explorer, the "headerborder" div overlaps the ul menu in the "header" div. The "header" ul comes before the "headerborder" div in the code, so, with the negative top marging, the "headerborder" div should be behind the ul menu. Any ideas on how to fix this in IE? Do I have to add some z-index values? Or is there a better way to do this layout? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi folks,

Can anyone possibly help me with this layout, the blue slideshow box is overlapping the login box ?

~url removed~

Also, I am viewing this at 1440x900 screen res. Is anyone having probs with the view / layout?

Hi,

I'm creating a website for a new local buisness (Hat Hire Shop).
I'm having some trouble with IE and getting images to overlap two <div>'s.

If you look at this page using Firefox: http://209.123.229.141/hatz/index.html
User: hatz Pword: hatz
Then you can see the correct layout.
If you view it in IE, then you will see that the images are in the top <div> only and will not overlap.

CSS He http://209.123.229.141/hatz/css/

(Images used are only examples found on the Internet. Client will be providing images of their actual hats.)

Hi,

I am wondering if someone could tell me why the div "leftcolumn" and a graphic in the div "topright" appear to overlap the div "navigation" when viewed in Firefox on a Mac.

The website is viewed he http://www.oharenoise.org/new/index2.htm

Thanks.

I am having trouble overlapping these two layers, they need to be relative.

here is the code

Code:

 <div id="layer1" style="position: relative; width: 99%; height: 100px; z-index: 1; border: 0px solid gray; color: #CC0066;">
<table width="80%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td style="filter: Alpha (Opacity=50); -moz-opacity: .5;" bgcolor="#EBAAA5" width="50%" height="40"></td>
<td style="filter: Alpha (Opacity=50); -moz-opacity: .5;" bgcolor="#EBAAA5"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div id="layer2" style="position: relative; width: 99%; height: 100px; z-index: 2; border: 0px solid black;">
<table width="80%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="50%" height="40"><font face="verdana" size="2"><b>Oh, this is fantastic!</b></font></td>
<td><center><font face="verdana" size="2"><b>This works for Firefox and IE.</b></font></center></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

any ideas?
thanks!

I'm new with CSS and have been trying to find an answer to an issue with overlapping divs in my layout.

It's a two-column type layout -- the left side should stay static width and the right should resize with the window. Right now, if you close the window enough, the two divs overlap. What am I doing wrong here? I prefer that they not overlap and that the right side (#maincontent) just resize vertically/scroll. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's some of the CSS:

Code:

#content { margin-top: 24px; position: relative; width: 100%; overflow: auto }

#maincontent { position: relative; right: 8%; width: 56%; float: right }

#sidebar { position: absolute; width: 404px; float: left }

hi there

trying to create a overlapping div
but this wouldn't work
Code:

#overlapBar {
	position:absolute;
	width: 250px;
	height: 270px;
	z-index: 2;
	top: 10px;
	left: 600px;
}

but with a layer it does work
Code:

<div id="overlapBar" style="position:absolute; left:600px; top:5px; width:250px; height:270px; z-index:1 ">

I like to have all my css in one file, so how can I overlap and position with <div>

thnks in advance

I'm trying to overlap two divs -- currently works fine in FF, but not IE 6 or 7. I need the left column to overlap the right column. Here's a sample of what I have:

CSS
Code:

body {
   background-color:#e4ebf7;
   height:100%;
}

#outer  {
   position:relative;
   margin:0 auto;
   width:1000px;
   padding:0px;
   overflow:visible;
   height:100%;
   z-index:1;
}

#header {
   position:relative;
   height:28px;
   border:1px solid #5e5e5e;
   margin-bottom:5px;
   z-index:2;
}

#left_column {
   position:relative;
   height:100%;
   float:left;
   width:277px;
   overflow:visible;
   z-index:4;
}

html #right_column {
   height:768px;
}

#right_column {
   position:relative;
   background-color:#FFFFFF;
   border:1px solid #5e5e5e;
   border-left:none;
   margin-left:5px;
   min-height:768px; 
   height:auto;
   z-index:3;
}

#footer {
   clear:both;
   height:35px;
   background-color:#FFFFFF;
   border:1px solid #5e5e5e;
   margin:0;
   margin-top:15px;
   z-index:2;
}

HTML
Code:

<body>
<div id="outer">
  <div id="header">stuff here</div>
  <div id="left_column">bunch of other divs here</div>
  <div id="right_column">bunch of other divs here</div>
  <div id="footer">footer stuff here</div>
</div>
</body>

I am having two problems:

Both involve this page http://oharenoise.org/new/


1. The Contact Us, found on the left-hand side of the page (in grey column) butts up right against the navy blue box above it. This does not occur in all browsers, ie Firefox.

2. The buttons on to the right of the flash animation overlaps the navigation.

Any help with these are much appreciated.

Hey there CSS folk,

Well, I have what appears to be an overlapping issue in both Chrome and Internet Exploder:

Please go he

http://www.ultimatelandsale.com/

If you notice on the right side, just below where it says "Browse," the word "Contact" gets cut off. I've tried lengthening the middle div, but to no avail...it still gets cut off.

Any ideas as to what's causing this?

Much thanks in advance!

Hi...

I am not a coder, Im new at this. Im not even really sure how to explain my problem either, so bear with me, please.

I am working on a theme for a site that allows you to edit the css style applied to the page, like myspace.com. Unfortunately there are limitations to this, like how many section IDs there are and such. In order to make a custom page, I am using ordered lists in BBcode.

In forefox, I was able to move the ordered lists outside of their section by using positioning, but unfortunately in IE, it would not allow this. Basically the lists would be hidden/invisible outside of the section element parameters. So, again in order to work around this, I made the section the ordered lists were in cover the entire page.

Firefox handled this fine, and the elements on the page worked together so long as text was not right on top of links etc.

IE, no such luck. The links in another section do not activate even though they are not visually overlapping. This creates a problem for me, as I will now need to make another ordered list to create links which will activate. Is there a way I can get around this?

Because I have a section which covers the entire page in IE, and overlaps onto other sections, I'm looking for code which will allow the sections in IE to overlap without causing one section or the other to behave incorectly.

Anyway, here is the link to my page so you can see what I mean. The links in question are the little glowy circles. They work in firefox, but they only appear in IE and will not act as links. Any help would be appreciated. I dont mind re-doing the code and the lists in order to avoid adding more code to create links which work.

I'm attempting to create three layers, each containing a selection list form item, only one of which will be visible at any one time, based on the selection of another selection list (not shown in the code below).
The layers must be centered within a Table cell:

Code:

<table style="width:90%">
  <tr>
    <td style="text-align:center;">
      <div id="layer1" style="width:100%;">
        <select id="select1">
          <option selected>Option 1</option>
          <option>Option 2</option>
        </select>
      </div>

      <div id="layer2" style="width:100%;">
        <select id="select2">
          <option selected>Option A</option>
          <option>Option B</option>
        </select>
      </div>

      <div id="layer3" style="width:100%;">
        <select id="select3">
          <option selected>Option 1A</option>
          <option>Option 2B</option>
        </select>
      </div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
.
.

This alone renders each layer sequentially, one on top of the other, vertically on the page, which is not what I want.

I have tried using z-index values, but I think the problem stems more from the position value.
I have tried using: Code:

position:relative; left:0px; top:0px;

on each layer, but nothing changes.
I then tried using: Code:

position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;

on each layer, and the layers *did* overlap each other, but were placed at the top of the page.

So before I tear out all of my hair, does anyone have a suggestion for how to place these layers within a table cell so that they are a) centered horizontally within the cell, and b) overlap each other?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
