CSS - Line Wraps When Nowrap Is Set And Width="100%".

I'm working on a site layout using CSS. I want the content body and the top menu to expand the width of the browser. For some reason, in Safari, the content body works, but the top menu does not. Any suggestions?

HTML:

<div id="mainmenu">
<div id="mainmenutext">Menu will come here.</div>
<div id="mainmenuspace">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

CSS:

#mainmenu {
height: 27px;
width: auto;
border-top-width: 3px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #000000;
background-color: #FDDAE4;
clear:both;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 150px;
}

#mainmenutext {
margin-left: 4px;
color: #000000;
height: auto;
width: auto;
}

#mainmenuspace {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: auto;
}

I have designed one page. I am getting correct behavior in IE but there is some problem with Mozilla.

Here is the code sample:

<DIV class=ColumnHeader><SPAN class=noSort style="WIDTH: 6%; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><input type=checkbox id=chkSelAllAvail value="" name=chkSelAllAvail></SPAN> <SPAN style="WIDTH: 20%">Year</SPAN> <SPAN style="WIDTH:36%">Type of Report</SPAN> <SPAN style="WIDTH:24%">End Date</SPAN></DIV>

I have attached both screen shots of IE and Mozilla.

Can anyone help me ??

I was wondering what is the best practice for aligning elements on same "line"? for example, say I have a header of the site with logo on left most side and on the right side I want to have right-aligned text with a link of a variable width, how would I achieve this? Do I need 2 separate divs that float left and have set width?

Example:

http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm

some problems:

in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok!

in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image!

the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen!

(I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen).

I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen.

Example Picture

The site itself.

Any ideas?

According to my best information the width and height of each box is equal to the width and height of the outer margin box.
1. Is that correct?

If so, then:
I would expect that if Box2 and box3 are enclosed in Box1, set to "width: 80%;" and "width: 20%;" respectively, and both set to "float: left;" then they should appear side by side in Box one.
2. Is that correct?

If that is also correct then:
3. Why does that not work for
http//rickduley.webs.com/Sample-Webpage.html (code attached). I have found that I must reduce the width of one of .mainText or .sidebar (standard.css) to have them appear side by side.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser.

Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important.

I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML

Here is my Html

PHP Code:
<DIV id="nav"> 
              <ul>
                <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li>
                <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li>
                <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li>
                 <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li>
                <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li>
              </ul>
</div> 





Pretty straight forward, now my css


PHP Code:
#nav

    width:1005px;

Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/

Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help.

Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work.

Cheers,
Stuart

that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently.

However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image.

If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall.

(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html

This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work?

okay this code works fine in ie 6 and ie 7. I'm having trouble in FireFox 2.0.0.8 and FireFox 3.0.1

Code:

<html>
<head> 
<title>Navigation Bar</title>
<style type="text/css">

#main {
width: 800px;
background-color: white;
}

#head {
height: 160px;
width: 800px;
}

a , a:visited {
width: absolute;
background-color: #484848;
color: #0c0c0c;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 auto;
min-width: 160px;
width: 160px;
max-width: 160px;
height: 40px;
border: #0c0c0c dashed 1px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}

a:hover {
background-color: #0c0c0c;
color: #ffff00;
margin: 0 auto;
min-width: 160px;
width: 160px;
max-width: 160px;
height: 40px;
border: #ffff00 dashed 1px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}

a#link {
width: 160px;
}

</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="000000">
<table colspan="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="main">
<td id="head"></td><tr>
<td><a id="link" href="#">PAGE1</a><a id="link" href="#">PAGE2</a><a id="link" href="#">PAGE3</a><a id="link" href="#">PAGE4</a><a id="link" href="#">PAGE5</a></td>
</table>
</body>
</html>

basically the links should each be 160 pixels wide and they aren't. I'm a little to css and I but I have been doing html for over 4 years, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to use tables to get the effect I want. If anyone can't shed a little light on my problem I would really appreciate it.

Hi guys!

Let's say I have this IN BODY directly:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<ul id="menu">
...
</ul>

Or should I do it like this:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<div id="menu">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>

UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??)

Thank you

I have a very simple question:

I have this html code:
Code:

<div id="text">
<p><a>text</a></p>
<p><a class="red">text</a></p>
<p><a>text</a></p>
</div>

And this CSS style:
Code:

.red {  color: red;  }    
#text a{  color: blue;  }

I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side.

http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.).

The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly.

I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too.

The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page...
------------------------
A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12pt;
font-weight:bold;}
-----------------------

but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks!

I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Code:

<td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td>

.loginbox
{
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #9AA8C3;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 11px;
color: #40668C;
}
