CSS - Table Overflowing In Ie

Hi,

I am really stuck and need some help.
I have created an alphabet of links across the top of a page. The mark up is like this;
<div id="alphabet">
<a href="#">a</a>
<a href="#">b</a>
...
</div>

Along with an Eric Meyer reset.css stylesheet it has the following CSS applied;
#alphabet{ width: 940px; margin: 0 auto;}
#alphabet a { text-decoration: none; color: #757575; font-size: 20px; margin: 5px 5px; padding: 5px 5px; border: 1px dashed #757575;}

#alphabet a:hover { color: #333; border: 1px solid #333; }

#alphabet a.current-letter{ background: #545353; color: #ffe224; font-weight:600;}

The problem I have is that the #alphabet container only has the height of links' text. It does not included the padding, margin or border. Therefore if I apply a background to #alphabet the links' top and bottom borders appear outside of the div.

I have tried adding overflow: hidden/auto but that only resulted in making the bit outside the div disappear.

Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks in advance

I am constructing a new website and need help preventing the header text from overflowing. I have tried combinations of overflow:hidden; but does not seem to work.

The site is here.

Advice on how I can prevent overflow for FFox, IE6/7 appreciated.

I'm kinda new to css and trying to do this layout with CSS looks ok it IE but I cant get Netscape containers to expand.

On the this page you will notice the ASDF overflowing into the footer if you resize the page to 1024x768 size.

I'm trying to keep the footer on the bottom but the content still seems to creep into the footer?

Any ideas?

This only happens in IE 6 and 7, FF seems to handle it just fine.

I w3c checked everything, html is good to go, css has some warnings but nothing that I seem to have to worry about.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to css but have code from various css sites that have used to get the layout i wanted. I am having an issue with IE7.

In IE8 and Chrome everything is working like intended. The link to the page in question is philadler.com/dance09.html

I have validated the CSS and xhmtl and the page passed both.

Can anyone tell my why in IE7 the content is overflowing into the right column, but in the other 2 browsers i have tested it works fine.


Also, does anyone know of a good photo gallery. Some of the events i will be putting have hundreds of pictures is there an auto formating or auto coding gallery that will look at the folder of the pictures and at it to the gallery?

Thanks for any help

Phil

Greetings, I have a 3 column layout with a header, nav bar, content space and footer on the center column, making the center column have 4 rows. The content div's height is set to auto and it's overflow to auto so that when the browser is maximized on higher resolutions it will expand and contain the text without a scrollbar. alternatively it will give a scroll bar if the content div is shrunk below 300px. however the auto height on the content div is causing it to take up more room than necessary. if the window is shrunken down, the content text will leak out over the footer bar and beyond. Before i post code does anyone have any suggestions on what i should be looking for? If code is wanted lemme know.

Hi,

I'm new to CSS and haven't been able to get this working. I have two layers, one for an image, and another for text that goes on top. The text is supposed to be centered and the image should be centered wrt the text.

The problem is that sometimes a word in the text will be too long and there's overflow. When this happens, the image stays on the left and the text box gets larger. This way the image isn't right behind the center of the text.

I tried using overflow: visible but this didn't change anything.

Thanks for any help.

Damnit. Differing browser box models piss me off. I guess thats what you get for being a web developer, where someone can use 6+ different programs to run your code.

I just started doing design with divs instead of tables and man what a PITA. I really like the idea of "building blocks" tho (and I really hate the inflexibility of tables), so I'm trying to grind through it. Its a small project, however, so I havent really been able to test cross-browser compatibility too much.

I'm running into a strange error in IE (sidenote: the page does seem to be handled correctly in Opera (though Firefox jacks the page up totally)). Anyways, I have a series of nested divs (to emulate the structure of a table). Everything looks fine until I start messing around with divs with a display of 'none'.

When I insert a div (or set a current div's) with display = 'none', part of the form input text will "flow over" outside of the div. In the pictured example, "Zachary Wedgeworth" is the last entry in the selectbox. There is no code / html after that selectbox, but as you can see, "Wedgeworth" appears after it! It isnt even able to be highlighted! The second line of the form contains a div with style='display:none'. If there's no div containing anything to do with display, this "overflow" error doesnt occur. There should be no difference in inserting a non-displayed div vs. never putting the div in the code at all, but (in IE at least), there is. stupid & frustrating.

Has anyone run into this problem or have any idea why this might be occuring? Its already stumped a couple fellow programmers.

Hi,

I am having a strange issue with my new site code . I am experimenting with a new look and decided to go with all css, no tables look.

I have a div where the enteries go. I entered some random text to see how it looks. To my surprise in Mozilla 1.7.10 the text overflows from the entry div into the other one while it works fine in Internet Explorer ( the post box expands automatically to fit all the text).

Second the in the commentsarea div, why is the "comments(1) floating in the middle of the entry box instead of the bottm right ?

here is the code in question

Thanks

If you are getting results as in the above image, simply add "clear:both;" to the container (blue) div which you do not want affected and it will flatten its ceiling and stop any float's escaping.

I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description.

If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the
width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages
design.


What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line
break after the width of the table is reached???


There is a solution that I put a div in td and then
Code:

#desc {
	width:"100%";
	width::fixed;
	overflow:scroll;}

but it is not exactly what I want

hi every one...

How can I display static headers in a table, so that headers remain visible while user scrolls the table body?

This is not working in IE 7 any working example please

2.
iam having a column which holds data around some 100 to 200 characters...
by default i want to display some 50 characters and rest of the characters can be viewed by moving the column...

if this is possible let me know how to do it with some sample code......i dont know much about CSS

3. One more problem iam facing is with the number of columns displayed in the table.

I have to display around 15 to 20 columns in a table...
with this 15 to 20 columns in a table, i can see scrollbar to the page ....but i dont want scrollbar to the page, instead i want want scroll bar to the table (so that it doesnot effect the design of the page)

I need a fixed table width and height and also fixed column width and height.....
Note: I dont mind if columns are not visible (thru scrool bar i should see the hide columns)

Alright, this is probably a simple fix but I can not find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to highlight a table cell with a 2px solid red border when it is clicked.

Is there a way to get this to happen with out changing the size of the cell?

I hope this makes sense. Basically the cell is expanding by 1 px causing movement in the table.

I'm trying to get a table inside another table which completely fills the parent table, but I cannot get it to work. The simple piece of code illustrates my problem. The red table is inside the blue table but does not cover the entire cell from top to bottom, but only the centre. I want this table to be streched. Obviously height: 100% doesn't work.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>
           1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>
          </td>
          <td style="background: blue;">
            <table style="height: 100%; background: red;">
              <tbody>
                <tr>
                  <td style="vertical-align: bottom">
                    Test
                  </td>
                </tr>
              </tbody>
            </table>
          </td>          
        </tr>      
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

I have a dynamic table that is in the cell of another table. For the life of me I cant get it to stick to the top of the cell. It wants to sit at the midline of it vertically.

Thanks for reading.
