CSS - Have Padding But Want To Allow One Element To Be Align Far Left (no Padding)?
Hello,
Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Thanks, Rey Similar TutorialsIt seems that in Firefox, whenever I use the padding-left directive, it actually increases the size of the div by the amount I chose in padding-left. It doesn't do this in IE, all it does is pad the contents in, which is what I want. Is there any way to do this except for creating another div within that one that is padded-left... Thanks in advance... 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? Hi, I have this page: Code:

</html>
And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB The default behaviour for an <input type="submit ... /> is to add a certain amount (perhaps some percentage of the length of the text?) of blank of space to the right and left of the text that is displayed within the button. Very ugly for buttons with long labels. Is there any way to control this without hardcoding a width value? On the sidebar of this page http://www.laurieannre.com/real-estate-agent.asp the UL titled Neighborhoods has a different padding on FF than in IE and I can not understand why? Hi again. okay i'm playing with CSS to make a new site. Im trying to get the background image to move down from the top of the page by around 3cm or 200px approx but i cant figure out how to do it. Can anyone help a CSS n00b. Thanks Image so you can see what i meean. http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4571/help2wq.jpg Pleae look at this page in IE8 & Firefox - Click Here It appears as I want it in FF but in IE there is a gap between the paragraph in the center column and the first listing of product. I have tried to put margins on all elements but can not get that closed in IE. Can someone shed some light? Thanks. Tom I'm trying to adjust the left and right padding in a form submit button (to fake a normal-looking link so I can use the form to pass php variables w/ $_POST instead of $_GET)... I've put the padding-left:0em; everywhere I can think of, can't seem to influence the submit button padding. Does anyone know anything about this one? Tricky... I have been trying to write a horizontal CSS nav menu for my website thinkmarriage.org/catalog/ based on some code I found. The menu seems to work great, except: 1. it is adding what looks like 30ish pixels of padding on the left side of the menu. I have tested in FF, IE, and Safari, all do the same thing. The code is CSS 2.1 validated. The link to my sample is: thinkmarriage.org/menu2.html 2. When I add the menu into my actual store, in FF it works, but IE turns the horizontal nav into vertical drop boxes. I was pretty sure the style sheets were conflicting with one another, but now the bar is working in FF, and I can't seem to find any problems. The two style sheets are : #1 (for the menu) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/menustyle.css and #2 (for the site) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/stylesheet.css The link to the site is above. If anyone has any thoughts as to where the extra padding is coming from or the conflict with the sheets in IE, I would greatly appreciate it. (Sorry, the rules won't permit me to place hyperlinks) Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions? Hi all, My first post here as I am struggling a bit with some CSS and i'm not sure where I am going wrong. My brother built a site based on a template, but he needed some help with maintenance and both the html and css code was complete crap. So I have started rebuilding the site from scratch to make it easier to maintain, and am copying a few bits and peices across from the old site to speed up the process. One such peice was the nav menu. As it stands the menu displays properly and the rollovers work etc, however it has some sort of mystery padding to the left hand side that I can't shift. Please can you take a look at the files and let me know where i'm going wrong? www [dot] dubtrippin [dot] com/test.html Cheers, Paul. I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu. I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code: /* Menu */
li {
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0px none;
display: inline;
line-height: 14px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 3px;
padding-right: 3px;
}
ul#menu {
background-image: url(img/menu.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-position: left bottom;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/* End Menu */
<ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li>
<li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul>
(the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.) the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work. to see what i'm talking about if my words are il formed (as they often are) click here. to view the CSS click here. Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told: "Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text" How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is: www.ohiocichlids.com I am noticing that padding changes the width/height of an object. For example, if I have a div element with a width of 100% and padding at 10px, it will actually cause the horizontal scrollbar on the browser to appear because it takes the 100% width into account, plus 20px for the padding on the left and right side. I thought padding was suppose to push elements inward. ??? Any help will be greatly appriciated. Hey everyone, I am working on a new template: http://4xp.net/temp.html The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry. If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div. Does anyone know how to remove this padding? Thanks! Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div. This is the code I am using: PHP Code: #related_links{ width: 165px; height: 237px; background-image: url('images/related_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; float:right; padding-right: 10px; } #related_inside{ padding: 10px; } #content{ padding-right: 10px; } #content_inside{ padding: 10px; } PHP Code: <div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div> <div id="content"> <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

I have a header wrapper for a column heading that sets the width and background of the column header. In that column header I have a tag for the header title, which is aligned left. Know, I find that the customer wants to add an "As of Date", on the same line, but wants it aligned right. Is this even possible to do? I cannot seem to come up with the correct .css code that would allow me to do this. html code Code: <div class="wide_column_header"><span class="headerbartext">Make Your Enrollment Selection</span><span class="headerbartextright">As of 3/31/2008</span></div> css tags: Code:

I have a beautiful looking site when viewed in Firefox but I am having some problems with Internet Explorer (surprise, surprise!) http://cbo4edu.org/newSite/index.html I want the Headings, OUR MISSION and CBO NEWS to be lined up just below the navigation div. In Firefox, my CSS and padding renders perfectly, with the background on OUR MISSION blending in with the navigation div's bottom border. In IE, these headings are mostly hidden behind the navigation div. How can I adjust my CSS for IE without disturbing the Firefox version? |
