CSS - Floated Divs But Unable To Clear
Hey all, please check this page:
http://www.trshady.com/eminemdownloads/ You'll see for floated grev divs. These are working well but the red sentence underneath is not adding margin like it should and it seems the block element is starting in line with the 1st floated div when it shouldn't as the width is too large. I'm unable to use clear as that would place the red sentence below the left hand menu which is floated.Any idea what I could do here? The only solution I see is to wrap the four boxes within a div and add a height larger then all boxes, but there must be a straight forward method. Cheers Similar TutorialsI've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? Hi all, I've got an item like this: <div (holder)> <div (image) style="float: left;">image</div> text here <div style="clear: left;"> </div> </div> But the trouble is that In the layout, I've got the menu floated left, too, and that 'clear: left;' seems to be clearing the left menu as well... Why? Cheers Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? I am new to css, and am eager to build the equivalent of a work-week calendar using only css. Basically, a five item table without using table tags. I have succeeded with firefox, but for some reason I am getting an odd reordering of the div elements in IE. I will post the html and the css below, and could really use some pointers. I am sure it has something to do with the float commands, but am not even sure what to call this problem to search for it!

I have a 3 column layout. Each column may contain one or two articles with a border at the bottom of each article. The There are two borders between the three columns. I'm trying to use floated divs as containers for each of the columns, with a left-hand border in the center and right columns. You can see a non-css example at: http://www.sananselmopreschool.org/pilot/ Well, no matter what I do, I haven't been able to get the column containers to extend to the bottom of the page in IE. If I set them to height:100%, they seem to shoot out to 150% or so. body { height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; background-color:#ECF6DD; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px; color: #707070; text-align:center; border: 1px solid purple; } .body_container { position: relative; height:100%; width:100%; left: 0px; border: 1px groove darkred; } .body_position_center { height:100%; position:relative; width:780px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border: 1px solid #999 ; } .header { padding:0; margin:0; position:relative; width:766px; height:195px; } .leftblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .centerblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .rightblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .blockcontents { padding-top:14px; padding-bottom:14px; border-bottom : 3px dotted #228B22; text-align:left; } Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't used much javascript, so unless I can see an example, it might be tough to work out a javascript solution. The problem is that I have a wrapper div that will contain two "boxes", one that has a white background one that has a black background. I want the white background box to be to the left of the black background box, but inside the wrapper div which has a red background. It works just fine in IE (which surprised me) but Firefox is doing something really strange. The black background box starts all the way to the left of the wrapper with the white background box on top of it. Not only that, but the text for the black background box starts below the white background box. I'm new to inserting code, but I'll give it a try: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

You'll see that I've floated the white background div, but again, this is making that div sit on top of the black background div. Can anybody help? P.S.

I'm trying to get a container div to stretch to the size of it's contents. Note, #navigation and #title will be for aesthetics only and aren't being used yet. Am I wrong in thinking that the clear has to go in the containing div, not the component divs? Anyway, I've tried both and neither works.

This produces: Hi, I'm trying to redesign my website to be CSS and XHTML compliant. While I've managed it and everything is almost perfect, IE has one very minor glitch. The page is http://hiveworldterra.ibboard.co.uk/HWTv2.html My 3-col design is based on (and modified from) a 3 col layout I found on the net (there is a credit in the CSS of the page).IE displays everything perfectly and even resizes horizontally without a problem, but as soon as you try to resize vertically, the left column will often overlay the center column. Refreshing the page without resizing the window fixes it and resizing the page horizontally fixes it. As per usual, Firefox is perfectly fine, no matter how you resize the page (until you get down to rediculously small, at which point its to be expected!) It doesn't seem to be a width issue, as I've got a 1280x1024 monitor at work and at full width on one monitor or down at 500px wide there are only a handful of vertical sizes where the left column doesn't overlap, but every time it does overlap then if you resize horizontally by a single pixel then it fixes itself. Anyone have any ideas or IE only hacks (preferably neat ones!) to stop this minorly annoying behaviour? From problems I had while modifying the original layout, it almost seems as if IE is losing the float on the left column. Thanks In Firefox, I've got a right div that is not repsonding to an auto width in FF. I am not a pro a CSS (yet ) and I hope that someone can give me the one line solution that I am missing. I've included a screen shot of the problem, any help is greatly appreciated. - K CSS Code Code:
#MainContainer

Hi, I'm having a familiar problem: with this page The the content on a contained and floated div is over running it's containing div. I have had this problem before and using something like: Code:
#innerwrap:after {
content:".";
display:block;
clear:both;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
Has worked before, but this time it's not. I'm having to specify a unique class and heitht for the #main box or use <br/>. It would be nice not to have to do this. Can anybody advise me what to look into please. Thanks James As always IE woes... Anyway I have a design that I'm currently reworking into a css/div positioned site. I'm almost done with it, but the problem I'm having is that I have 2 floated divs below a horizontal navigation bar. In IE these two floated divs are not positioning themselves directly beneath the nav bar like they do in FF. There looks to be a 3px or so gap between them. I will post screenshots for a better idea of what I'm talking about. The HTML is: Code:
<div id="container">
<div id="top"></div>
<div id="brands">
....stuff here....
</div>
<div id="slides"></div> <!-- Slides and Vert_nav are not appearing directly below brands in IE-->
<div id="vert_nav">
....stuff here....
</div>
</div>
CSS Code:
/* CSS Document */
html, body {
background: #000000;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#container {
width: 760px;

margin: 0px;

should.jpg is how the page is supposed to look. shouldnt.jpg is how it is appearing in IE. Aaaah! another problem... now i have 2 divs, left one floated, and right one set that it's left margine distances him from left div. when i print that page from FF it's ok, but when i try to print it from IE it looks like left one isn't floating - divs are one beneath other (right one shifted to right for that margin value). what now? thanks Hello, I have a page where a left-floated <div> is nested within the main <div>. Content then is placed in a <div> next to the left-floated one. My problem is that the main <div> does not stretch to the height of the left-floated <div>, rather just to the height of the content. I placed: Code: <br style="clear: both;"> after the content <div> which usually does the trick but it's not working for some reason... And even more confusing is the fact that if I change the <br> to something else like say <span>, the main <div> does stretch to the proper height BUT the content within the <h1> tag and the content <div> are not displayed until you do something like minimize the window then restore it or bring another window in front of it then bring it back to focus. This happens in IE only. Any ideas? Page html/css: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

In IE6, the right sidebar column drops down below the content or disappears and creates space below the content before the footer. On some of my other pages it happens and on others, it does not. Can anyone suggest the problem and/or solution? Best, Colin http://029c92a.netsolhost.com/abrasives/cuttingdiscs.html Before I state the problem, let me say that I am working towards properly validated html and css. There are a couple tables in my design that I put in just to show the boss something pretty! They will be gone soon. I have 3 places on the page where I'm using images as links to effect behavior with javascript or forms. My menu's going down the left side of this template has +/- "buttons" to toggle nested lists on and off. By using margin-top:-14px they are lining up slightly higher then needed in FF, slightly lower then needed in IE and way to high in Safari. If i set the margin-top to 0, then I get it lined up nicely in safari and IE and FF are off. The images inside of the <li>'s This is the css code I believe to be relevent css Code: Original - css Code .clearfix:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } div.redbox img.plusminus { float:right; margin:-16px 3px 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0; height:10px; }

Is this a common thing in CSS that there might be a tutorial out there on how to fix it? I've looked at using overflow and that doesn't seem to fix the problem. the link for the page... Template Thanks for having a look Hi Please let me know if I am posting what is required for answering my questions as I would like to make things as easy as possible for you. Here is my first problem:- I have been trying to move our sitesdesign across to being css based and in the large part have succeeded but I have run into difficulties when it comes to displaying our results. I am trying to wrap 9 search results on a page using float but the results I am getting are different between mac IE 5.1, opera 5 Mac (not that bothered though) and Windows IE 6.0. My problem is that on windows the float works as it should and wraps so that I have a grid of 9 images, on a mac the images wrap but jump to the bottom of my left floated navigation and then continue the grid and on opera they just don't wrap. The URL is URL CSS file URL Can anybody shed any light on why this might happen as I am a little lost. TIA hanonman Hi, I have managed to rewrite my three column navigation page using floated divs instead of its original table (the page was written years ago and I am updating to get away from tables). This was hard for me because I am very new to CSS. My code validated and the page looks fine in IE but in Firefox the third or right column does not clear the middle column. I tried to google the problem but the explanations are way over my head. Also the only way I could get the blue border to not show up in firefox was to add the style directly to the image code. Can someone please help me. The link is www.medeaslair.net/myths.html. Here is the CSS Code:

I can't get my non-floated 'DIV#left' to sit beside my floated 'DIV#right'. The DIV#left containing the subnav slips, or is forced down the page; http://johniwhite.com/tests/ireland/level_2.html I'd love to hear the easy answer! Here's the CSS: div#left_level2 { width: 130px; height: 50px; vertical-align: top; padding: 0; margin: 0px; /* display: inline;*/ /* border: 1px solid #0F0;*/ } div#right_level2 { float: right; width: 594px; height: 50px; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; vertical-align: top; } ---- The code for a more simple version at http://johniwhite.com/tests/ireland/2_col_test.htm <div id="middle"> <div id="right_level2"><!--the floated div for content--></div> <div id="left_level2"><!--the non-floated div for subnav--></div> </div> ---------- Love to hear thoughts, thanks John |
