CSS - Overflow, Works Properly In Firefox, Doesn't In Ie
Hi There all, I've got this problem with a overflow div tag. I've tried just about everything possible. Easy way of saying it, I want a content box that is basically form 80px of the page down to the bottom of the browser. This "content box will be scrollable, but i want a menu to be the top 80 pixels of the page.
EDIT: IE just does the content in the full page! Here's sample here of my small css: Code: <style type='text/css'> #content { top: 75px; bottom: 0px; width: 100%; position: absolute; overflow: auto; } </style> Thanks in advance! James Similar TutorialsI'm having a dumb moment coding my site. I can't get the #project_content tag in my stylesheet to work properly. It should place page contents to the right of the menu on this draft page but kicks it to the bottom. Could someone please take a look at the css to see where I've gone wrong. Thanks Hi, I'm having issues trying to get text to center on a few buttons. Here's the site: http://www.highspeeddirtcheap.com The buttons I'm having problems with are located near the top right, labeled as: Current Deal, How We Roll, and More Deals Moreover, the buttons don't even show up in IE6 or 7. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you. This stylesheet was developed by volunteers (local students) who weren't asked to design for cross-browser compatibility. In FF and Netscape the background CSS 'runs out' before the content does (problematic with black background) and there isn't any space between objects (adjoining columns, text etc.). Because I need to make the fix asap (and I am not well versed in CSS for layout) my options here are a) pay my ISP web team to make the adjustments, b) redesign site templates using tables (which I can do, but I know is regressing) or c) get some specific feedback from you folks. The code does not validate (re. W3C CSS Validator) but I'm not experienced enough in this to know how to fix it. In the long-term, I am definitely looking to improve my knowledge in this area and appreciate your patience with me. I have copied the code below. Many thanks for any feedback, resources, pointers etc. you may be able to provide. body{ background-color: Black; background-position: center; text-align: center; vertical-align: center; margin: 2px;

I created this website for my school, http://www.rit.edu/~cie/ but for some reason the navigation menu rollover does not work in IE. Could someone please point me to the errors as I have been spending so much time and still couldn't see what cause this. Thanks in advance Hi, all. I'm brand new to CSS and have run into my first speedbump. I've tried searching the forum already, forgive me if I missed a previously posted solution. Today I put together a page at work and it looked correct in IE8 (which is the only browser we can use at work). When I got home, I discovered that it doesn't display properly in ANY other browser. I've validated my code, and just can't figure out what the problem is. (I tried to link to images here of what it should look like versus what it actually looks like, but apparently as a new user I'm not permitted to post URLs. I also don't seem to be able to insert images into this post, so if anyone would like to see the images, I guess I could email them to you.) Can anyone tell me why the DIVs appear to be too long? Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the HTML: <HTML> <HEAD> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="comp.css" /> </HEAD> <BODY> <div id="parent"> <div id="left_top"> </div> <div class="bigcontainer" id="right_top"> a very<br>special<br>place<br>on the<br>internet </div> <div class="container" id="left_mid"> additional reading </div> <div class="container" id="right_mid"> tab one | tab two | tab three | tab four | tab five </div> <div class="container" id="left_bottom"> first link<br> second link<br> third link<br> fourth link<br> fifth link<br> sixth link<br> seventh link<br> eighth link<br> </div> <div id="right_bottom"> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... </p> </div> </div> </BODY> </HTML> Here is the CSS: body { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #e5e5e5; } div.bigcontainer { font-size: 20px; font-weight: bolder; vertical-align: middle; padding: 20px 20px 0px 0px; text-align: right; } div.container { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; vertical-align: middle; padding: 10px 20px 5px 0px; text-align: right; } #parent { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position:relative; } #left_top { width: 35%; height: 190px; background-color: #7d7d7d; float: left } #right_top { width: 65%; height: 190px; color: #ffcc00; background-color: #666666; float: right; } #left_mid { width: 35%; height: 35px; color: #ffff99; background-color: #ffd426; float: left; } #right_mid { width: 65%; height: 35px; color: #666666; background-color: #ffcc00; float: right; } #left_bottom { width: 35%; height: 100%; padding: 20px; color: #999999; text-align: right; background-color: #e5e5e5; float: left; } #right_bottom { width: 65%; padding: 20px; color: #666666; text-align: right; background-color: #ffffff; float: right; } Hello. I am new to css and i made the following h1{ position:absolute; left:850px; top:300px; color:green; } I put this in a form that i wanted to be shown at the right bottom of my screen and in mozzila it worked fine, but i found out that in internet explorer it didn't and in general i coudn't view right anything that had specific positions. Is there a bug? This is kind of a continueation of a thread in the JS forum. But I am trying to do a CSS only thing here, so I thought it would be more appropriate here. I have these tabs that change color by altering the background position. Normal is orange, hover is yellow, and active is supposed to go kind of pink. Hover works fine as you see. But active does nothing, both in FF and IE. I gathered up all the style stuff that's relevant and put it all in the one file, tho that's not usually how I code things. But anyway, the code can talke clearer than I can. http://www.colleenweb.com/tests/atest.html Why doesn't active work??? It's late at night so the head isn't 100% but Ive been beating on it a while. Thanks!!! hi the following img will help u understand the layout of my page. my page content is in <td id="cont"> my links are in <div id="scroll"> i have got several links in that div and i made the div scrollable with the following code. Code: <table id="tab"><tr> <td id="iframe"> <div id="scroll"> <ul> %%links%% </ul> </div> </td> <td id="cont">%%content%%</td> </tr></table> Code: #tab{width: 100%;} #iframe{width: 25%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 3em; } /* only for ie */ * html #scroll{overflow: auto; width: auto; height: 100%; text-align: left; } /* only for firefox */ #scroll{overflow:auto; width: auto; height: auto; text-align: left; } #cont{width: 75%; height: 100%; vertical-align: top; text-align: center; padding: 2em; } my links <div> is scrollable in ie but not in firefox. in firefox i see all the links with no scrollbar. i know i would get a scrollbar in firefox if i say height:400px; instead of height: auto; but that's the problem. i want the height of <div id="scroll"> to depend on <td id="cont">. that means the height of the scrollable links should depend upon the height of the content. thank you The site I am working now has a discussion group. Sometimes someone will post a pic and the thread will break the 955px boundary of the wrapper. In Firefox, what happens is the thread will leave the wrapper. In IE, the thread makes the wrapper expand. In an ideal world I'd have all images resized or not even limit myself to a 955px width, but this won't work with this site... I'd like to know if it is possible to make the thread div leave the wrapper in tact at 955px like it does in Firefox. Thanks in advance :} hi, i wanted to change a look of form submit buttons a bit and i found out i can do it using inline css, example: Code: <input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="Send" style="background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666;"> but can't figure out how to define it using internal or external css. i tried this: Code: <head> <style type="text/css"> input.btn { background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666; } </style> </head> ... <input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="send" class="btn"> which seems the most correct to me, but it doesn't work. style defined in this way is ignored. i'm sure there is a way to do it, but it seems i don't know the right way. could you help, please? Hi, I have a strange problem where an inline style works, but if I put it in a new style class, it won't! Here is the CSS for a menu list: Code: #menu li{ vertical-align:middle; height:2em; padding-left:7px; padding-top:6px; float:left; margin-left:25px; background-color:#8D8387; display:block; } And then I want to apply this to the first list item: Code: .noMargin{ margin-left:0; } When I apply that class to the list item, nothing happens. However, when I use the inline style: style="margin-left:0;", it does work. What's going on? Thanks My web page looks fine on FF and Chrome, but doesn't on IE. Everything is pushed up. Anyone have any suggestions? I have searched the net and can't find a solution. egoboosters . org / newindex1 . htm Here's the code (it's all in the one file). (I had a link but I'm too new here) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xhtml; charset=ISO-8859-1"></meta> <title> image border bug test</title> </head> <body onload="highlightimg()"> <div id="container"> <a class="aclass" ><img src="a.jpg" id="i1" alt="alttext"/></a> <a class="aclass" ><img src="b.jpg" id="i2" alt="alttext"/></a> <a class="aclass" ><img src="c.jpg" id="i3" alt="alttext"/></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function highlightimg(){ document.getElementById('i2').setAttribute('style','border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px; border-color:red;border-style: solid;'); } </script> </body> </html> Internet explorer refuses to apply the border style to the center (or either of the other) images. Any thoughts? (This is a small test case, the style must be applied with js in the actual application I'm building). I have a div that I have set the overflow property to auto - enabling scroll bars when the content is longer then the fixed size of the div. This doesn't seem to work in Safari, or and older version of Firefox. I could use overflow: scroll, but then there is a scroll bar when the content doesn't overflow. Is there any clever fix for this? Cheers, whiteatom Can anyone tell me whether they have experienced height and overflow problems with FireFox and Mozilla browsers? Check this out: Test Page. It looks fine in IE, but not the other two. I've been working on this half the day with no solution. Can anyone help? If the problem can be solved without the use of javascript, that would be preferred. Thanks, Darin Can anyone help me get this to work in IE? Here's the link to the page I'm working on, which I'll be moving from my site to the proper domain soon. ... (annoyed - can't post urls as a new user, which makes this forum limiting - is there a way around this?

And here's the HTML: (well, the html will have to be viewed in the browser because of the "No URLs" rule) Thanks in advance for any help. Hi, I have faced a strange issue with the CSS overflow property while using nested DIVs.The DIV with class main has the DIV main-1a as its child which in turn has the DIV with class main-1a-child as its child. As the height of main is not fixed, so it is supposed to increase with main-1a and main-1a-child. But in Mozila FireFox, the height of main is not getting increased with the child DIVs. When the overflow property is set to hidden in main, then only the height of main gets increased with its childs. The issue is fine in IE6 regardless of the overflow property. Any help/explanation in this regard will be very helpful. <html> <head> <title>My Page</title> <style type="text/css"> .main { position:relative; width:800px; display:block; border:1px solid #000000; margin:auto; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; background:#BABB99; height:100%; overflow:hidden; } .main-1a { width:780px; float:left; background:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #FF0000; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; } .main-1a-child { width:760px; float:left; border:1px solid #000000; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; background:#BABB99; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="main-1a"> <div class="main-1a-child"> <p>text of div1 a2</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Hi, Please use Firefox and look at: https://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/secure/test_start.php Only on Firefox do I see scrollbars on the right white box. The white box is fixed width, and is supposed to expand vertically with the content. However, the white box does not expand as much as I'd like to. Eventually, as the content gets bigger, Firefox displays unwanted scroll bars. Then, if I simply press 'Refresh'... the scroll bars disappear, and Firefox displays the page exactly how I want it! Its really wierd because I can't test this properly. Once the page is refreshed, there are no scroll bars. But, a general user won't press Refresh..and will end up at that page eventually, to find unwanted scroll bars. I've tried it on Opera, and a friend said its definitely a Firefox bug. I am sure the <table> is causing the problem - because all other pages display fine. The scroll bars are only appearing on this particular page, with a <table>. Note : if you do not see scrollbars... then thats not a surprise, because Firefox is acting strange on this one.... I mainly see the scroll bars after signing in and accessing the actual PHP page that is dynamically generated. The above link is just a static version whose code I copied and pasted. Anyway, if anyone has had any similar problems with tables and overflow-scrollbars.. please could you let me know what you did about it? Some CSS: Code: table.oa_results { border: 1px solid #C9AA90; border-collapse: collapse; width: 310px; } table.oa_results td { border: 1px inset #C9AA90; padding: 2px 2px 2px 4px; } table.oa_results th { border: 1px inset #C9AA90; padding: 2px 4px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; } .whitebox_general_oa { width: 387px; background: #FFFFFF; line-height: 18px; overflow:visible; display: block; clear: both; } Thanks very much!
