CSS - Losing The Underline With A Floated Span.
As soon as I apply the floating to my footer spans the dashed border on the links stops working. Can anyone tell me why please?
PHP Code: <div id="footer"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="Whitespace Image" width="100%" height="4" align="top" /> <span class="spanLeft footerText"> Copyright 2005 <a href="http://www.xxxxxxxxx.co.uk" target="_blank" class="gray">xxxxxxxxxxx</a>. </span> <span class="footerText spanRight"> <a href="#" target="_blank" class="gray">xxxxxxxxxx</a> xxxxxxxxxxxxxx </span> </div> PHP Code: .footerText { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: gray; } .spanRight { float: right; margin-right: 5px; } .spanLeft { float: left; margin-left: 5px; } A.gray { text-decoration: none; color: gray; } A.gray:Hover { border-bottom: 1px dashed; color: #009966; } Similar TutorialsOn 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. 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 Hi I'm struggeling with the following: I have some span elements inside a td. If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td). Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside? Se example code below Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;"> <tr> <td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;"> <span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span> <span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span> <span style="">Last</span> </td> </tr> </table> ******* UPDATE ******* I found this link today: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts which says (among other things): ************************* Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up. Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it. ************************* So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above? Is there any working workarounds for this...? 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 have a simple navigation with a undeline on hover in css. but what i would like is that when a link is click and it goes to the page the underline stays under that link , ie page1 - page2 - page3 - page4 when you hove over say page3 it shows page3 when you remove it shows page3 but when you click on page3 and it goes to the page it shows up as page1 - page2 - page3 - page4 Can some please help me with this my css code is below .underlinemenu{ font-weight: bold; width: 100%; } .underlinemenu ul{ padding: 6px 0 4px 0; /*6px should equal top padding of "ul li a" below, 7px should equal bottom padding + bottom border of "ul li a" below*/ margin: 0; text-align: right; //set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/ } .underlinemenu ul li{ display: inline; } .underlinemenu ul li a{ color: #ffffff; padding: 6px 3px 4px 3px; /*top padding is 6px, bottom padding is 4px*/ margin-right: 10px; /*spacing between each menu link*/ text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px solid gray; /*bottom border is 3px*/ } .underlinemenu ul li a:hover, .underlinemenu ul li a.selected{ border-bottom: 3px solid #c12344; } Hi, I've been having a few problems with underlining text when hovered over. Here is a site that I've made that has underline on hover implemented: www . amazanproperties . co.uk Here are the problems: On Chrome, it used to work, but now doesn't. On hover, it updates the text shadow of the underline, but doesn't actually show the underline. This started happening today. On every browser except for Chrome, Safari, and IE (compatability mode), it doesn't work at all. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks! When hovering over a link, how can I make the underline thicker? Check out this site. link I've been playing with this for a while now, and I can't figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. Here's my site: http://kick.hopto.org Basically, I want the links inside the .storytitle class to NOT underline when they are hovered over (as the class name suggests, I'm talking about the story titles). I thought this would work, but it seems to have no effect: Code: .storytitle a, .storytitle a:hover, .storytitle a:active { text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0; } Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if/how I can get a CSS script for link classes that would only change the colour of the underline like the one at the top of Altavista's translate page?? I have tried viewing the source but can't seem to put my finger on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheerz, sheermonkey. hi, i would like the underline of my top level links to be as wide as the naviagtion box, it is currently only streching to the end of the text itself PHP Code: <ul> <li><a href="?action=abouUs">about us</a> <ul> <li><a href="?action=press">press</a></li> <li><a href="?action=tellFriend">tell a friend</a></li> <li><a href="?action=feedback">feedback</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="?action=new">fitting room</a></li> <li><a href="?action=offers">best sellers</a></li> <li><a href="?action=col">useful info</a> <ul> <li><a href="?action=pay">payment options</a></li> <li><a href="?action=delCharge">delivery charges</a></li> <li><a href="?action=retPol">returns policy</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> PHP Code: /* LEFT NAV */ #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } #leftNav a { border-bottom: 1px solid #000; text-decoration: none; width: 120px; } #leftNav ul li ul a { border-bottom: none; } #leftNav ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 10px 0 0 10px; display: block; border: none; } #leftNav ul li { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 10px 0; width: 110px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; } #leftNav ul li ul { margin: 0; padding: 5px 0 0 10px; } #leftNav ul li ul li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 300; width: 95px; } /* END OF NAV */ thanks for your help The IPad is underlining my phone links automatically making them invisible. I am aware of the fix using the meta tag. The problem is that these numbers are substituted by javascript in our AdWords tracking. I am afraid the <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" /> will cause the phone tracking not to work on IPad. This is the simple css for the phone number: #phone { position:absolute; left:285px; width:250px; top:237px; height:25px; font-size:18px; color:#0F2532; } and the site is assistedfertility.org. Is there a css rule I can add to #phone that will remove the automatic underline? What other ways that wont effect javascript number tracking? Thanks http://www.cad-design-engineering.com/New/index.php Problem is most noticeable in IE, of course, because it also puts a space under the header image.

The class is applied to the href and set to have the img as a descendant. When the page renders in FF, there is no problem. But when it renders in IE, i get the nice little hyperlink underline where the margin is between two thumbnails. Any help would be great.

I want different color on the text-decoration overline and underline then the text. I know it's possible but how? It works if i change it into border but that's not the case.

Please help Thanks in advance Since i can't link url here's the link for the picture i41.tinypic.com/29bvd1.png What is the best practice for giving an <a> a different color than the underline? Background image? <a><span></span></a>? Something else? Hi, I am trying to make a link's text black with a blue underline. Is this possible? Here is my code, which produces black text with a black underline: Code: .link{ text-align:left; color:#000000; font-size:14.5pt; font-family:times new roman,serif; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:underline color:#09328a; } Not sure if I'm missing something or if there's a hack for FF (and possibly other browsers), but on hover, text-decoration:underline doesn't seem to work in FF.

I wonder how to create a link without an underline in HTML? Maybe you have also met such problems. Anyone helps? Thanks in advance. Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code.
