CSS - Ie Adding Left Margin To Floated Div
No worries, made an obvious error.
Please delete this =) ( sorry for waste of moderators time ) 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? 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
{
float: left;
width: auto;
}
#Main
{
margin-right: 0.2em;
}
#MainContent
{
padding: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em;
}
#SidebarContainer
{
float: right;
width: 250px;
border-top: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
padding-top: 5px;
clear: right;
}
#Sidebar
{
padding-bottom: 5px;
background: #ADADAD;
background-image: url(../images/SidebarBackground.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
clear:left;
}
#SidebarContent
{
margin: 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em;
}
I've never run into this before, but I have the following document structure and the right div's top margin is about 10px below the left in FF and Opera.(aligns fine in IE-AMAZING, but true) Every other time I have simply set the margin and padding both to 0px of my floated divs and it has brought it to the same height as my left div: NOTE: I apologize, I don't have a link, this is being developed off line right now. CSS code: Code: /* You guessed it, my container div */
div.container {
clear: both; /* clears two divs above it */
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
}
/* Left div */
div.left {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 49%;
}
/* Right div */
div.right {
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 49%;
}

Any ideas or good links? Hello, first post here... I have an image floated left, with an unordered list (ul) next to it. Problem is, the margin values I set for the list are totally ignored, so the list bullets end up overlapping the image. Seems the only solution is to set margins on the image, but that also pushes away non-overlapping content, like the h3 that is above the list and positioned fine. Any ideas? Everything works fine if/when I float the list left, but that seems draconian... Code: css Code: Original - css Code img.alignleft { margin-right:0.5em; display:inline; float:left; } ul, ol, dl { line-height:1.5em; margin:0 0 1em 1em; }
HTML4Strict Code: Original - HTML4Strict Code <p><img src="" width="295" height="400" class="alignleft"/></p> <h3>A Sampling of Workshops We Have Brought to Nonprofits</h3> <ul> <li>An Introduction to Social Media for the Nonprofit</li> <li>An Introduction to Storytelling for the Nonprofit</li> <li>Using Social Media and Digital Storytelling in the Classroom</li> </ul> <p><img src="" width="295" height="400" class="alignleft"/></p> On page - URL address blocked I have an img floated to the left, with some text floating around the right side. After this image, I have an h2, styled to clear:both, with a top-margin: 3em. With this floated image preceding, when the image is longer than the paragraph or other text floating around it, and the bottom of the image is "sitting on top of" the h2, the browser ignores the 3em top margin on the h2, unless I include a br, styled to clear:both. So, I can solve the problem with this clearing break, but it sort of chafes me. This doesn't look like typical collapsing margin. I'm not losing the overlapping margin between the two elements, I'm losing all of the margin! The page is coded with the breaks in place. I can re-create the "issue" using Firebug to remove the br tag. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail.

Hey, Why does this look different in IE and in Firefox? Code: <html><body>
<div style="float:left;border:3px solid green;">Left div</div>
<div style="width:200px;border:8px solid black;">Right div</div>
</bodY></html>
In FF, the right div's border starts at the same place as the left div's border. In IE, the right div's border starts to the right of the left div. Thanks in advance... I really hope somebody can help me out with this one. It might require some yucky hack, but I hope there's a good way to achieve it with regular css. I got a header (140px height), main container and a footer. The main container consists of three areas (from left to right): - a fixed sized column with some illustration (48px) - main contents column, (all available space) - a fixed sized column with newsfacts and such (301px) I've got an absolutely positioned div-element with an unordered list inside. The list-items got no bullets and are float: right, so the end result is a horizontal box. Each item is a link. I want this div-element to be positioned at the top of the middle contents column with the unordered list bar right-aligned. For this I tried using a right-margin: 302px. Also, each list-item is divided by a slim stripe/bar by giving the each li-element a left border. AND... the whole div-element got a bottom border which stretches as wide as the contents column is. Here's a screenshot fragment in Firefox, the only browser in which I got it to work: http://www.stack.nl/~rem/linksbox.jpg I've got the following code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Important note... since I was on the verge of screaming, I replaced the Unordered list temporarily with a div tag of class=links, to simplify things in a feeble attempt to isolate the problem. It shows correctly in Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 (0.1R1) by the way, but my boss wants it to be good in Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. Especially IE. I want it good in Firefox but darn... Firefox is the only one I get okay :P The problem is.... with IE it puts the links to the right side of the screen. I've tried lots of things to get it 302 pixels from the right side of the screen, but everything gave problems. I really hope somebody can give me an idea how I can fix it. It feels like it's just a small thing. Why do margin and padding widths act differently when applied to a floated item in Internet Explorer? 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 Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a container that is floated left. I've put a margin-left: 80px; on it. the 80px seems to be quite a bit bigger in IE(6) than in FF. The page works well in FF but craps out in IE. I can't figure out what's going on here. In my body{} I have margin: 0px; and padding: 0px; Any ideas? Brad Greetings! Please, take a look at http://147.32.113.143/biotest/Sourc...SectionId=10000. Almost everything is ok, except one thing: in left menu (TOC), margin-left is not applied on <a> elements in <li> (menu items - red bordered) in IE 6.0. In FF, everything is OK, but what's much more interesting, in IE 5.5 it works too. So the only problematic browser stays IE 6.0. Could anybody tell me please why this happens? So far, margin-rules worked well for me, even in IE. P.S.: The discussed rule is in Web_Toc.css Hi, I have this attributes left:504px; to align my picture but margin:0 0 0 387px; can be use as well. Whats the best thing to use? Hey there I have a small IE6 problem where my "boxR" margin-left positioned div is moving more away from left than expected but works perfectly fine in FF. 3px more to the left to be exact. This is happening to my "boxL" div also (but only 1px more to the left than expected) CSS: Code: .bigBox {background-color:#eeeeee; width:800px; clear:both;}
.leftCol {width:240px; float:left; position:relative; display:block; background-color:tan;}
.rightCol {width:560px; float:left; position:relative; display:block; background-color:lightBlue;}
.boxL {width:230px; margin-left:7px; margin-top:5px; position:relative; display:block;}
.boxR {width:550px; margin-left:3px; margin-top:5px; position:relative; display:block;}
HTML: Code: <table class="bigBox" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td valign="top"> <div class="leftCol"> <div class="boxL">Content Goes Here...</div> </div> <div class="rightCol"> <div class="boxR">Content Goes Here...</div> </div> </td></tr> </table> Pictures of problem: FF: IE6: The 2 blue boxes are "boxL" and boxR" The background color "Tan" and "lightBlue" is the "leftCol" and rightCol" divs See how the "boxL" div has moved left 1px more and the boxR has moved 3px more to the left in IE6... how can i fix this? Thanks heaps Hello everyone, I am working on a website redesign and I just cannot fix one certain bug that I am having in IE7. I have this layout that I made and am using which works great cross browser here mactyler.com/NEWIDF/ Now I am integrating a PHP script into it and am having a hard time to get it to display the sidebar in IE7. iphonedevforums.com/news/index.php I think it might have something to do with the margin-left: -100%; that I am using on the sidebar div to align it vertically. It works and shows up in every browser except IE. If you guys could show me any way to get it working I would greatly appreciate it. Any ideas are welcome, I will try to be as helpfull as possible in answering your questions. Can't figure out why. I validated with W3 and everything was fine. I want p. leftmargin to be left indented 332px. Its just a single column site, should be easy...... This is the CSS Code: p. leftmargin {
margin-left: 332px;
}
#content {
text-align:left;
float:right;
width: 713px;
padding: 0px 17px 20px 30px;
background-color: #B11626;
height: 1100px;
}
this is the HTML Code: <div id='content'> <p class="leftmargin"> <h2> COMING SOON </h2> </p> </div> page can also be found he http://www.kdpatton.com/cosmopolis/program.htm Well.. I just remembered I am a member here... I usually figure out my problems.. but this one is just annoying me... I haven't really decided on colors or anything.. but I just wanted the basic layout with content on my my site... but I get 1 IE problem.... check it out.. http://centralfloridacomputerrepair.com/test.php the image all the way to the right works fine in FF... but in IE it's below where it should be, and messes up the whole page. the css is here http://centralfloridacomputerrepair.com/style.css (what you are looking at is div#sidetext) and the css/xhtml validates http://validator.w3.org/check?verbo...ir.com/test.php http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...ir.com/test.php I just can't figure it out... I've tried using left: 735px; ... since it's positioned absolute from the top.. but left didnt work with IE either... it gets to the right place horizontally.. but not vertically... I tried margin-right with negative.. and it didn't work at all.. it just stayed left all the way. any ideas? edit: I've been here a whole year... and this is my first post. HA. The following script has been validated and is working fine (not in IE/Win): body { margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px; padding:0; background:#ccffff; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:link { color: #0000ff; } a:visited { color: #33cc00; } t{line-height:36px;} #wrap { width:613px; left:50%; margin-left:-336px; background:#ffffff; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } #sidebar { position:absolute; float:left; width:150px; border: 1px solid #000033; padding:15px; background:#ffffff; height:650px; z-index:1; } #main { float:right; width:390px; border: 1px solid #000033; overflow: auto; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size:13px; text-align:left; padding-top:20px; padding-right:20px; padding-bottom:20px; padding-left:20px; background:#ffffff; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:66% 540px; background-image:url(smalljester.jpg); height:750px; overflow:auto; z-index:2; } I'm still trying to figure out why it works. In particular, there are two margin-left tags in the #wrap div, one is -336 px and the other auto. I seem to remember this had to do with centering the layout (the negative margin) but how is it valid with two margin-left properties? TIA [I'd post the html from the dozen or so pages this is working on but there are too many urls.] You can view the site I'm working on here and the style sheet here . The #left and #right divs inside the container are set up so that a 15px margin should exist all the way around the outside as well as between the two divs. This is the white space that you can see. From what I can tell, it displays correctly in Firefox, Opera and IE7, but not in IE6 or below. In IE6, which I test in using VirtualPC, the left-margin of the #left div seems to double and become 30px wide. This pushes the #right div all the way out to the edge of the container, though you can't see this happening because the background of #right is transparent. I have spent the last hour looking at my css trying to figure out why IE6 is doubling the width of this margin, but I'm completely baffled. I'm convinced there's something obvious I'm missing because I'm a bit of a css amateur. Can anyone help? I've a menu bar that's a horizontally displayed list (i.e. set up with the following values: ul{ margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px; margin-left:0px; } li.inline { display:inline; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; border-left:1px solid #fff; } Contained in the following code: <div id="mainNav"> <UL> <li class="first"><a href="../about/index.html">About</a></li> <li class="inline"><a href="../contact/index.html">Contact</a></li> <li class="inline"><a href="../services/index.html">Services</a></li> <li class="inline"><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> </UL> On IE 6.0 it does as required and there is no padding between the first element (About) and the left hand side of the page. BUT, on Firefox, about 5 characters worth of padding is between the left hand of the page and the first element. Is there a way to get both Firefox and IE to have no padding? Thanks </div> |
