CSS - 'border' Doesn't Work On <body> Element?
I can only get margin to work with the body element. border & padding don't. Can someone explain why pls.
Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
border: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>This is some text</div>
</body>
</html>
Also, i get the same result if I define a simple class and use div. e.g. .myclass { margin: 0px; border: 10px; } <div class="myclass"> some text </div> Only the 'margin' works within the class. Similar TutorialsHi. I want to set my page's background colour through an external stylesheet. I have this: Code:
body {
background-color: #CAB284;
text-align: center;
}
But it doesn't affect my page. I'm using it in firefox. Every thing else in the stylesheet works correctly except this. When I enter this stuff in the actual body tag of the page using style="" it works though. I don't want to do it that way as it takes longer to change everything when I find a better background colour. Can anyone help? Thanks, Matthew Hi. In my external style sheet i have this: Code:
body
{
margin-left: 100;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
I am completely new at CSS and am only doing it because supposedly my tables are out of fashon! Thanks Matt I've been using the html>body cheat to fix IE issues for over a year now, to fix issues with margins mostly. Lately for some reason, it doesn't seem to work anymore. For the life of me I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or not. Here's a sample of what I'm working on right now: Code: .image a {
display: block;
width: 154px;
height: 84px;
border: 1px solid black;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
background-image: url(_images/loading.gif);
margin: 5px;
}
.image img {
border: 0;
}
.image a:hover {
border: 5px solid #FC0;
margin: 1px;
}
.image a:focus {
width: 170px;
height: 96px;
border: 10px solid red;
margin: -12px;
}
What's going on is I created a 4 x 4 grid of images, when you mouse over them a 5px orange stroke surrounds the image, and when you click the image, the image "enlarges" and gets a 10px red stroke. It's working great in Firefox, but then in IE, because of the margins, images shift when you mouseover, and the red stroke doesn't appear when you click. Any ideas? Thanks. Here's the code (it's all in the one file). (I had a link but I'm too new here) Code:

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). Hi, I'm trying to create a border around the body, no matter how wide the window is. Here is an example:click here You will notice that the right hand border is to far right. He's the css for the body tag: Code: body {
background-image: url(images/bkg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "bitstream vera sans", "trebuchet";
background-color: #414548;
border-style:solid;
border-width:24px;
border-color:#414548;
border-bottom-width:200px;
width:98%;
height:100%;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
}
I think the problem isn't in the body CSS, but maybe some place else. I can't figure it out. Can someone help? thanks I can't get the css to show the top border http://www.****copz.com Code:
#navlist
{
padding: 3px 0;
margin-left: 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
font: bold 12px Verdana, sans-serif;
}
#navlist li
{
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
display: inline;
}
#navlist li a
{

Hi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code:
body
{
font-family: "Lucida Sans";
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0px 0px 10px;
border-top: 0px none #000000;
border-right: 0px none #000000;
border-bottom: 5px none #000000;
border-left: 0px none #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #D20000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #4F4F82;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #4F4F82;
scrollbar-face-color: #f4f4f0;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #d0d0d0;
scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
.leftnav {
float: left;
color: #000000;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px none #000000;
border-bottom: 1px none #000000;
border-left: 1px none #000000;
padding: 0px;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 220px;
margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px;
clear: both;
text-align: left;
}
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;

border-right-color: #000000;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
border-left-color: #000000;
float: left;
white-space: normal;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
font-size: 13px;

}
Thanks very much. I'm going mad with this, I tested the CSS a:hover function over FF 1.0.7 and IE6, and the style file is simple: PHP Code: h3 { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } p { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color:#636500; } a:visited { color:#cecf9c; } a:link { color:#cecf9c; } searched through the forum but seems nobody has got this problem... I just want the link to change color, I imported the css file to my html and it worked for the first time. I clicked on the link and then use brower's "Back" button to test it again, but the hover feature is not working anymore. I think it may be affected by the a:visited style, but how do I make a:hover work all the time? Thanks for helping. problem solved - it seemed that the inside box was too close to the outer one, so i gave it some padding and the border-line now shows. weird is, that it is now a little bigger than the other element, but i can live with 2px ... for now hi folks, i really dislike IE i make the design for my webstore ... still i only want to use floats (no tables or other positioning) ... i am slowly advancing ... right now i am pretty much stopped in my tracks, because IE does not display the right side of 2 of my boxes (those are very similar in layout). the boxes concerning have an outer DIV and an inner DIV. the outer has a specified width in px and overflow:hidden (which has helped keeping the width). the content is other DIVs and text. note that a similar box with a UL in it does indeed display the thin borderline all the way around ..... and this is what drives me nuts. LINK concerning boxes are the shopping cart on the top right and the mailing list box on the bottom left note that the similar costructed box with the navigational menue in it above the mailinglist box does display the borderline .... oh, and in firefox everything is fine of course on a side note .... in IE; hovering over any hover item results in the bdy text losing its background color?! i am not even challenging that one yet it would be great if someone could help me out here Code:
this is for the shopping cart box:
#header_right {
color: black;
font-size: 80%;
background-color: white;
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-right: 1.5em;
padding-left: 10px;
width: 150px;
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
float: right;
}
#header_right_content {
color: #fff;
background-color: #f8f2dc;
padding-top: 0.5em;
padding-bottom: 0.6em;
height: auto;
border: solid 1px gray;
}
Hi all, The easiest way to see the problem is to look at this demo in firefox. (I haven't patched it to work in IE yet.) The menu items in the 1st 2 menu's don't expand to fill the available area. Any ideas? I applied the following class to the default (selected) <option> tag. Shows up great in Mozilla, doesn't apply in IE. Where I'm I missing the boat? Any tips appreciated. .form {font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid #999999;} (please note, i'm a noob).. What i have right now: ################ HTML: ################ <div id="aboutusimage"></div> ################ CSS: ################ #aboutusimage { width:400px; height:75px; background-image:url(/images/about.jpg); position:relative; left:189px; top: 4px; margin-bottom:30px; } ======================== What i'd like to have: ################ HTML: ################ <div id="banner" class="about"></div> ################ CSS: ################ #banner { width:400px; height:75px; position:relative; left:189px; top: 4px; margin-bottom:30px; } #banner.about { background-image:url(/images/about.jpg); } ====================== For some reason, the image disapears when i do this :\ Any advice? Hi, link to wesbite why doesn't the drop down menu, that works in IE6 not work in Firefox 0.8? It is pure CSS, no Javascript. OK, I know it doesn't validate and don't care too much about that. I know putting tables inside an anchor tag is frowned on but hey, it works and I didn't think it up. I thought IE was the worst when it came to CSS compliance? Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks, John This is my CSS File: PHP Code: .linkbody { padding: 15px 15px 6px; color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; width: 160px; background-color: #006EA1; } and this my html file: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

In Firefox the padding works fine, but in the IE6 it doesn't work at all makes me angry thx for any help My site works fine with Opera 7 but refuses to work properly with IE6 and Firefox. There's definately a problem with how each browser renders my CSS. I for one cannot figure out what to change so that the site would work with all three browsers. That being said, would anyone be grateful enough to help me out? Thanks! URL: URL I've included some screenshots of how the site looks like on all three browsers. URL URL URL Hi guys Look here www DOT clickemarketing DOT com The date, before each article, should show at right. This date uses the .createdate css class, which is this Code:
.createdate {
color: #A9A9A9;
vertical-align: top;
padding-bottom:2px;
float: right;
font-size: 11px;
}
I don't know why IE shows it at left... FF shows ok Is there any way to correct this class, and make date show at right in this pseudo browser, worm collector, spyware downloader called IE ? Thanks Hi guys, I've trying to achieve the following. I want to have a div element floating on the right 100px from the top and the rest of content is filled with text. PHP Code: <div>[image]</div><p>text 1</p><p>text 2</p> I could do this easily with simple float:right but then the image would at 0px from top and if I try to move it down (using margin or padding) the text wouldn't reach above it (would get cut off at the width of the image form the right) If I try to add another div with 100px height and 10px (for example) width above the image, the text overlaps over my image div Any ideas how to achieve this? Below is my full html code PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html > <head> <title>float</title> <style type="text/css"> .content { width: 400px; background: #FFFF00; padding: 5px; } .floatright { float: right; height: 100px; border: 1px solid #000; } .offset { width: 10px; } .imgholder { width: 100px; clear: right; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="content"> <div class="floatright offset"></div> <div class="floatright imgholder"><h1>image</h1></div> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

This application uses CSS for all text including drop-down menu text and input box text. My client is using XP as their OS and he tells me (sent a screen capture as well) he CANNOT read the drop-down boxes. Text is too small. On our machines (Win 98) there are no problems. Have tested on about 15 different client computers with no problems. Browser is not an issue as its the same for him on both Netscape and IE. Does ANYONE have a clue how to fix this? Doesn't seem logical to me - one OS should be the same as the other. However, we're talkin about MS products and who knows with them. Need urgent help on this one.. please.. anyone with ideas help me! thanks all. Peace. Aaron On my re-design of www.samuraiblog.com , I have a DIV that has quite a bit of text in it. I have it set to 100%, but it only goes about 1/4 of the way. You can see what I mean here, on a test server, http://samuraiblog.dreamhost.com/index.php Thanks, -Sam |
