CSS - Background Recongnizing/not Recognizing Float
http://www.mrossana.com/storage/bel.../template1.html
In Firefox, the background of #topmenu2 and 3 extend the entire width of the surrounding div, which is what I want it to do. In Internet Explorer, the floated #logo_wrapper div stops the background of #topmenu2 and 3. Is there any way I can get this to work in Internet Explorer the way it does in Firefox? Similar Tutorialshi everyone, i'm having some trouble with using floats and a background image. here's is how it's setup: > Div holder that holds floats / background image --> Float that has content to the right --> Content on the left now before you guys start scratching you head trying to figure out my logic, this is my first dive into using CSS so i'm still learning. lastly, it only seems to do this in firefox but works in IE. here's the example: http://vsm.intriguemedia.net/ and here's the CSS file: http://vsm.intriguemedia.net/lib/css/base.css any head would be appreciated, thanks. Thanks for viewing my post. Here is the site I am working with: http://www.flattrackillustrated.com/dev/ I am having two problems: 1) If you shrink your browser too far in on the left, the floating right image goes over everything. I need to MAX left side margin to be about 600px, but with float on, the margin-left doesn't work! Is there a way to tell this image to float, but stop at a certain point? 2) I want the background image I have on the left nav side to continue all the way to the bottom of the page, however, since I already am using a background image for the top, I can't seem to do a horizontal and vertical of two different images. Is there a way to make this happen? Thanks! Hello. I use List (<ul>,<li>), to make a menu. When I add float:left; parameter to li{} selector, the green background of the list becomes transparent. I give the bgcolor to the list like this: ul{ background-color: #00CC00; } here are tha sample pages, so you can view the source. without float:left http://www.dinal.ru/test/liul.htm with float:left http://www.dinal.ru/test/liul2.htm my question is: where is the green color, where does it go? Thank You Artashes When I am floating two containers or images my background color disappears. Why is that and what should I do instead? Here is what I am doing: <div class="contentWrapper"> <div class="content"> <div class="leftContent"> <img src="" alt="" /> </div> <!-- end leftContent --> <div class="rightContent"> <img src="" alt="" /> </div> <!-- end rightContent --> </div> <!-- end content --> </div> <!-- end contentWrapper --> Now the css: .contentWrapper { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .content { margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; width: 960px; background: #ccc; } .leftContent { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 450px; float: left; } .leftContent img { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 200px; height: 200px; border: #000 solid 1px; } .rightContent { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 450px; float: right; } .rightContent img { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 200px; height: 200px; border: #000 solid 1px; } Thanks! Essentially I'm creating a 'drop-up' menu without javascript. Here is my test page: http://38.99.165.179/kalle/cssmenu/index3.html PROBLEM: I am using 'float: left' to arrange my main menu items horizontally. With 'float: left' it seems like I lose control over the #menu_container background color. It's supposed to be a shade of red. If I delete 'float: left', I regain control over the container background, and the shade of red appears. Why is this happening? This problem doesn't seem to exist if I use 'display: inline' instead of 'float: left', to sort my main menu items horizontally. BUT 'display: inline' causes other issues, and so for various reasons I'd like to try to keep using float: left. Here is my code: Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Hi there, I'm trying to get the background image to repeat down the page, but I think the float is messing it up since it's outside the element, or something like that. The background image call works fine, you can test it if you enlarge the #Middle height values. http://www.wpforrealestate.com/prod...es/Design2/www/ I've had this problem before, but figured it out through the help here and some links on floats, but this time I'm just not getting it for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks. Hi, I have been a CSS/XHTML developer for about 6 months now and I just came accross a problem that I have had difficulty solving... I have spent about a week on this problem, and still no luck... I kind of restarted too with no luck... I am thinking this may be a bug... But it works fine in IE... In firefox, the content division background does not continue, instead a footer background is moved up... This is so weird, I dont know how this can be possible... This has been extremely frustrating... If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks a lot! Hi all: I remember when IE was the more forgiving browser, but these days it's really killing me. I am developing a site dubdubdub. fastrackservices org slash index_test.html It looks fine on Chrome, FF and IE 9, but on IE8 ( I won't even look at 7) My background image is not being recognized body { background:url(/images/med_bgrd.gif)top center repeat-y #bfbfbf; font-family:arial, verdana; font-size:12px; } Any ideas? Thanks, I have a <div> that will eventually be draggable. The javascript I'm using to achieve this allows you to specify the ID of an element that will serve as the area from which you can drag the parent <div>. In my case, I am creating a pseudo popup window and want for it to be draggable by its title bar. I'm assuming that the jacascript watches for the mousedown event to be fired while the mouse is within the the specified element's bounds (either by calculating dimensions or using the mouseover event). For some reason, IE is not properly detecting that the mouse is within the bounds of any elements within the parent <div>. The only exception being when the mouse is directly over actual content (not empty space) within that element. What's even weirder is that it seems to be detecting when the mouse is from just above the top edge of the element to about 20px above the top edge. Run the code below in IE and mouse over the empty space to the right of both lines of text - then between 1 and ~20px above the empty space for both.

This of course works as expected in FF. Any ideas? PS - giving the element a width via css fixes the problem... I guess I'm more curious about WHY IE is choosing to display like this. subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;
BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 2px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
HEIGHT: 200px;
WIDTH: 150px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
div.float p {
text-align: center;
}
div.container {
border: 2px dashed #333;
background-color: #ffe;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> 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. Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
(since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. arg arg arg and you all know the rest. anyway to the problem in firefox the layout is all good but in IE things are realy starting to annoy me. http://217.68.23.6/~themodem.co.uk/index.php i think its my float stuff but im not sure, could someone please take a look at it for me heres my css Code:
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color:#000000;
}
#leftcontent {

width: 205px;
background-color:#000000;
}

}
thanks Lee Thanks for taking the time to read my question. If I use float: none; in my css the result in IE is perfect. However in Firefox it doesn't work. Is there a workaround for this? see "Past Pierced Shows" bottom left corner of page in IE the images and text line up, in Firefox, they are one under another. www.pierced.ca/pierced-events.htm Thanks for the help, Brad Basically, following link: www.projectfinalfantasy.com Works fine in FF but IE, it piles the divs under eachother, whether the float tag is applied or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe. |
