CSS - Firefox Float Issue
I seem to have an issue with the float parameter in Firefox.
If you look at the following URL in IE, it should display fine, but in firefox the container doesn't expand to hold the div's within, as they're floated. I've seen other people use floats just fine in firefox, but it doesnt' seem to work for me.. http://www.arestaenterprise.com/enf/ Any help is appreciated Thanks! Similar TutorialsPlease look at this page - http://www.eagletransmission.net/testimonials.asp In IE7 I have the main navigation alignment as I want it to be. BUt in Firefox the links do not align correctly. For example please look at the link for Affiliates. In Firefox it is pushed to the right instead of centered where it should be. Thanks. Hi, I have been beating my head against the wall here. My video position in firefox shows up over top of my other nested divs/classes. www.binaryshopper.com The site renders perfect in IE. When you spend more time on CSS than programming, something is wrong! I love CSS but it still doesn't do what it was intended to do. After years of CSS, you still have better control over layout using crappy tables!! Can someone please help me here before I start shooting Firefox developers? Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. Having one last problem before the site goes beta live... I have rounded divs, and inside is a floated left menu element. If something in the menu expands the round corners pop out of place rather then shift down. Im not sure what to chage. The site is: adventurevalley.ca/jason/programs/prgSwim.cfm If you mouse over the birthday parties link you will see what I mean (IE7 issue). Thanks a mill! hello. i am making a small, rough bar graph on the left side of my page. when i try it, the bar ends up going to a new line. what i'd like to do is have a colored div fill up 80% or 100% of the rest of the space to the right of the key. here is the code: Code:
<div class="bar_graph">
<div class="key">signed: 8,000</div>
<div class="bar signed" style="width: 80%"> </div>
</div>
...
.signatures {
margin-top: 20px;
}

Hi Guys, Ive got a serious'ish error on a site im responsible for and with it being the period between christmas and new years I cant find anyone to help me. So im coming asking for help with an IE6 error which is occuring on http://social.eyeforpharma.com/ It appears fine in every browser apart from IE6. IE7, FF, Safari etc work fine. With no decent debug tools for IE6 available im stuck. Help REALLY appreciated. Kevin. Edit - The error gets worse when you go to view an article. Hello i would like to know if there is any hacks or tips to resolve problem in IE6's rendering of Floated Boxes? It seems IE6 add extra padding or margin to some floated element, specially those near the borders of container... How do i get around this? I have a section of 3 divs, 1 floated to the left, one to the right and one in the middle. IE 7 & Firefox are fine however in IE 6 it seems to display the left and right columns as a block pushing the middle column down to the bottom. see screenshot, the image is the middle div while the white side parts are the left and right columns. My code is as follows: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #headerLeft { float: left; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_05.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #headerRight { float: right; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_07.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #flashMovie { background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; width: 730px; }
heys all, im having an issue with text that is variable length. i want to float something in the bottom right corner of some text. that something which is floated should have a width of 100px and height of 100px. so for example text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE now the sample text above can be 1 line, or 100 lines. anyone have any ideas? i've been hammering away at this too long Thanks. Hatchetradio.com/radio/ if you check this page it's fine in firefox if you check this page in I.E. the tab on the left hand side actually sits on top of the layout. I'm trying to get it to fit snug. I'm not sure why this is happening. hatchetradio.com/radio/wp-content/themes/reborn/style.css that's the css im using I am having an issue with a div that I am trying to float and set the width of. The page works fine in Firefox, but in IE it doesn't display correctly, Here is the pertinent code, <div id="textbar" class="sidebar" style="width:175px;"> <div id="handle"> <a href="#"><img src="http://swvtc06/swvtc/images/collapse.jpg" border="0" alt="Click to Collapse the Navigation Bar" onclick="sidebar()" /></a> </div> <div id="sbText" style="display:block;"> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/nav_test.htm" --> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/smweather.asp" --> </div> </div> Here is the CSS for the #handle div, #handle { float:right; width:9px; } In Firefox, the handle div is correctly inline with the background graphic. In IE, the handle div is about 9 pixels to the left of where it should be. We are in the ancient times, we still are mandated to be using IE 6, so that is where I am having the problems. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Drew Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Heys, I have the following code: <html> <head></head> <body> <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid red;"> <div style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid green; float: left;">-</div> </div> </body> </html> In FF and IE7 it works the way I'm desiring; specifically, the child div (width: 200px is contained inside a box, however it breaks outside of it due to the width. ||||||||| ||||||||| |||||||||||| |||||||||||| ||||||||| ||||||||| That's how it should look; but I can't replicate it in IE6. Any ideas? Thanks Ok, I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out a workaround. I then have been searching the web for answers, but can't get any of the solutions to work in this case. Here is a stripped down version of the code: CSS: Code: ul {
list-style: none;
}
li.leftform {
clear: left;
float: left;
text-align: right;
width: 121px;
padding-right: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Tahoma;
color: #000000;
line-height: 40px;
}
li input {
width: 243px;
height: 18px;
line-height: 18px;
margin: 0;
margin-right: 3px;
}
li.middleform {
float: left;
width: 243px;
padding:8px 0;
padding-right: 10px;
line-height: 18px;
min-height: 24px;
}
li.rightform {
float: right;
width: 168px;
padding-top: 10px;

For some reason the clear: left works on the first element, but an element after goes as if there was never a clear before it. The HTML is like this for a reason, I know you can't see it now because I stripped everything out of it. Any help on a quick fix (don't mind if it's dirty ) Thanks! This page works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the float makes the content move off the page to the left. I figured out that without a background-color applied to the .textBox style (which is the DIV that contains the text and image I am floating) it works. However, I really would like the .textBox to have a background color. Anybody knows what to do? Here is the page: http://www.jbbdesign.com/wip/index4.html many thanks, Julia In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">
<img src="../images/jschu-crop150h.jpg">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" >:<?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="subtitle">
<!-- Here's the tagline -->
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
</div>
</div>
I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1. Code: #header {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:170px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 3px;
/* padding-top:110px;
padding-bottom:10px;
padding-right:20px;
padding-left:5px;*/
border-bottom: 1px solid #bab1b1;
background: #404040;
}
#header img {
float:left;
display:inline;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 10px;
border:none;
}
#header h1{
display: inline;
float:right;
padding:0px;
margin: 0px;
padding-top:100px;
margin-bottom:3px;
margin-right: 5px;
font-size: 2.4em;
letter-spacing:0.1em;
}
#subtitle {
text-align:right;

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi Hey all, I am just starting to develop a new site for my web design company, though i'm doing it in mac os x env using camino, so to my horror, when i finally got around to checking it in IE, I discovered that everything was horribly wrong. All of the div's that were supposed to be floated left are now overlapping the right float. I've read a few articles which all suggest different things, i.e. putting 'display: inline' in all the float styles. That didn't work. I don't have the time to figure it all out though I'm sure it's a simpleish solution. I'd really appreciate the help. Pete The site is he http://andamu.org/main/yarn/ or "andamu.org /main /yarn" The appearance of the date, byline, comments/trackbacks and tags on the left, aligned beneath one another in IE 8 is the desired appearance. In Firefox, the date appears in the correct spot, but the rest appears to its right instead of below it. (I am modifying the Pico theme in MT5.) I'll try to get the relevant bits here, but please ask if I can provide more detail. The html part: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <h2 class="date-header">September 6, 2010</h2> <div class="asset-footer"> <p class="asset-footer-info"> <span class="byline"> <span class="vcard author">Sivani</span> at <abbr class="published" title="2010-09-06T18:47:04-08:00"> 6:47 PM</abbr> </span> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#comments"> No Comments</a> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#trackbacks"> No TrackBacks</a> </p> </div> <!-- class="asset-footer" -->
The css part: Code: .date-header {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
}
.asset-footer {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
clear: all;
}
Note: I have tried using clear: all; in the .date-header to no effect. After hours of Google searching and working to find a solution, this is my last gasp. I'll qualify it by saying I'm a casual hobbiest, not a pro at all. In plain text, my problem is that I have a string of boxes I want to appear side-by-side...float: left. In firefox, on a hard refresh, these elements don't appear side-by-side, but on top of each other. It works just fine in IE. Example... Should be: 1 2 Is: 1 2 Below is my code. To see the problem in action, http://www.mcconaha.com Also, the code isn't great, and I know that. I'm building everything now, but can't get past this problem. Code: body{
background-color:#666666;

background-repeat: repeat-x;
