CSS - Internet Explorer: Changing View-text Sizes?

Hey guys. I found some CSS code that will causes the latest IE 6 browsers to display an error reporting window if the service is running and close IE. It works on two computers. A celeron 1.2GHz and an Athlon 2600+.

Here is the original code that IE works fine with.
Code:

/*nav.css*/
#nav *{font: small-caps normal 98%/1em sans-serif;display:block;}
#nav * a{color:#9fb594;display:block;}
#nav_list,#nav,#nav_main{float:left;clear:none;}
#nav_main{background-image:url('../image/nav_bg.png');background-repeat:repeat-y;width:122px;}
#nav_foot{background-image:url('../image/nav_foot.png');background-repeat:no-repeat;height:177px;width:122px;}
#nav_foot{font: small-caps normal .6em/1em sans-serif;}
#nav_foot a{width:105px;margin-top:2px;vertical-align:bottom;}
#nav * ul{list-style-type:none;padding:0;margin:0;}
#sub_nav_list{background-color:#000;text-align:right;}
.nav_item,.sub_nav_item,.selected,.sub_nav_item a{width:105px;}
.nav_item,.sub_nav_item,.selected,.sub_nav_item a,#sub_nav_list,#nav_foot{float:left;clear:both;}
.nav_item{height:2.2em;}
.sub_nav_item a{padding-bottom:.5em;min-height:1em;}
.selected a.nav_hlink{font:normal small-caps 900 98%/1em sans-serif;}
#nav_main * a:hover{background-color:#333;}

The last item, the hover, is what is changed.
Code:

/*nav.css*/
#nav *{font: small-caps normal 98%/1em sans-serif;display:block;}
#nav * a{color:#9fb594;display:block;}
#nav_list,#nav,#nav_main{float:left;clear:none;}
#nav_main{background-image:url('../image/nav_bg.png');background-repeat:repeat-y;width:122px;}
#nav_foot{background-image:url('../image/nav_foot.png');background-repeat:no-repeat;height:177px;width:122px;}
#nav_foot{font: small-caps normal .6em/1em sans-serif;}
#nav_foot a{width:105px;margin-top:2px;vertical-align:bottom;}
#nav * ul{list-style-type:none;padding:0;margin:0;}
#sub_nav_list{background-color:#000;text-align:right;}
.nav_item,.sub_nav_item,.selected,.sub_nav_item a{width:105px;}
.nav_item,.sub_nav_item,.selected,.sub_nav_item a,#sub_nav_list,#nav_foot{float:left;clear:both;}
.nav_item{height:2.2em;}
.sub_nav_item a{padding-bottom:.5em;min-height:1em;}
.selected a.nav_hlink{font:normal small-caps 900 98%/1em sans-serif;}
#nav_main * a:hover{background-color:#333; width:80%;margin:auto; }

This works fine in Firefox, doesn't look too good. I'm trying to figure something out so that when it's actived it looks kinda like the buttons used in a lot of linux console setup programs. Like the nvidia driver installer and the slackware setup buttons. Trying to figure out how to make this crapy looking site look better. I guess stupid "animations" based on linux console isn't the best way to go :P

i have a div on a page that i want to be centered. i am using in css as

THank you in advance

Are there any good links that might show what type of styles IE will render on a list element? I'm having some trouble getting a navigation bar working properly. I'm only doing hovers on links, so the hover problem should not affect me, but I can't get any styles to apply other than "list-style." Even font size or color styles will not show up.

Good Evening Folks,

I would like to discuss Transparent PNG files and Internet Explorer.

I like to use 24-bit PNG files with transparency in my web work.
I like to overlay transparent backgrounds onto images with text
formatted over the top.

I like to use transparent PNG's as backgrounds for buttons, text and boxes
all over the place, I even like using them to mask out images.

I am very keen on using 24-Bit transparent PNG files in web design.

The only thing that really stops me or at least puts me off using them
is compatability problems with IE6 and below. IE7 doesn't seem to have
any problems with them.

I have found away to make 24-Bit transparent PNG files work in IE6,
It requires using a proprietary IE filter called AlphaImageLoader
I am still experimenting with it, but It seems to work OK utilising a few @import hacks.

But I can't make this filter work in IE5.5 or IE5, although Micro$oft's
doccumentation says I should be able to make it work in 5.5. Anyway I
could always use @import hacks to make IE5 browsers use GIF images
instead or maybe even JPGs.

Now to me this is a lot of mucking around, I accept that a lot of people still use IE6 but how many people are still using IE5.5 and IE5?
Does anyone have any other theories or ideas on how to go about this?

So I seem to have a problem with IE5.x and IE 7. The white bar in #top-bar that is supposed to run along the bottom of my blue banner on my page, works fine in IE6. But it either of the other two browsers it just hugs the top of the page.

It doesn't seem to want to obey the padding-top css directive. I'm not really sure why though.

Can someone have a look at it for me ?

Thanks in advance ... :-)

OK basically this css code is causing problems in IE.5 OS/9 on the mac

I was wondering if the Windows version caused the same problems when rendering these css buttons:


#elButton a {
color: white;
font-size:10px;
font-family:verdana;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
text-decoration: none;
border:3px outset #99ccff;
background-color: #3399ff;
display: block;
margin: 1px;
width: auto;
height: 2.5 em;
padding: 3px 5px 0;
}

#elButton a:hover {
background-color: #D43D2A;
color:#ffffff;
padding-left:5px;
border:3px inset #ffffff;
}

==============================================
html code:

<DIV id="elButton">
<DIV><A href="#" onclick="img(1)">Next</A></DIV>
<DIV><A href="#" onclick="img(-1)">Prev</A></DIV>
</DIV>

THANKS GUYS !!

I have my website look exactly how I want it on Firefox and Safari. I checked it on IE 7 and it looks all out of wack! My design is a 3 column design with a column on the left that has a menu, the middle column has my content so far, and the right column is reserved for banners and links. The problem with IE is the left and right column meet and overlap in the middle of the page. How can I fix this without messing it up for the other browsers? my site is at www. highartculture .com. Thank you very much.

Let me guide you to a page I just wrote on this subject. http://www.freewebs.com/desertowl/textblink

I am having problems getting my menu to align, I found the menu system at.

http://www.gazingus.org/html/Using_...HTML_Menus.html

However when you try and center it using tables or divs you get the result you can see in the attached image.

Strange thing it works fine in firefox, and sort of okay in opera, though its not centered and the menu is a little bugged.

I just can't think what causing the problem and its annoying me.

I've attached all the files in zip file for people to explore and see were i am going wrong.

thanks

I have a div #footer at the bottom of a page.

All works except in MSIE (v6) where ol' Bill Gates decides to duplicate the #footer:
http://www.jobsinkent.com/v5c/home/index.php

If I remove the float:left from #footer it displays fine (but out of position!!) ... ideas welcome!!

I am trying to see what is the problem at my css with internet explorer 6.0, all text is put at the bottom of the page, however in firefox, safari or opera it works fine.

OK, so IE 8 comes out, and it has the "compatibility mode" icon, to let everyone know the page is broken when the IE8 doesn't like the particular CSS. Through reading through tons of Microsoft documentation, however, I can't find anything that helps validate your CSS for IE8, or even tell you what it likes and what it doesn't like. It actually has some nice developer tools where it allows you to validate your CSS and HTML with W3C, but to no avail. You can be perfectly validated w/ W3C, and still the icon will show up saying it's broken for IE8 (and, in some cases, it actually is).

Any one know of where I can find a resource to validate sites for IE8, so that that damn icon doesn't keep showing up, and so I can more easily figure out what the heck it is IE8 doesn't like about my site?

Hi, for reasons unknown my template is being displayed towards the far right of the browser in Internet Explorer...It works fine in Firefox (page is centered) but I am rather confused as to why it is being displayed so strangely in IE? Help would be appreciated.
