CSS - Text Overflowing - Works In Ie , Not In Mozilla.
Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my new site code . I am experimenting with a new look and decided to go with all css, no tables look. I have a div where the enteries go. I entered some random text to see how it looks. To my surprise in Mozilla 1.7.10 the text overflows from the entry div into the other one while it works fine in Internet Explorer ( the post box expands automatically to fit all the text). Second the in the commentsarea div, why is the "comments(1) floating in the middle of the entry box instead of the bottm right ? here is the code in question Code:

Thanks Similar TutorialsDamnit. Differing browser box models piss me off. I guess thats what you get for being a web developer, where someone can use 6+ different programs to run your code. I just started doing design with divs instead of tables and man what a PITA. I really like the idea of "building blocks" tho (and I really hate the inflexibility of tables), so I'm trying to grind through it. Its a small project, however, so I havent really been able to test cross-browser compatibility too much. I'm running into a strange error in IE (sidenote: the page does seem to be handled correctly in Opera (though Firefox jacks the page up totally)). Anyways, I have a series of nested divs (to emulate the structure of a table). Everything looks fine until I start messing around with divs with a display of 'none'. When I insert a div (or set a current div's) with display = 'none', part of the form input text will "flow over" outside of the div. In the pictured example, "Zachary Wedgeworth" is the last entry in the selectbox. There is no code / html after that selectbox, but as you can see, "Wedgeworth" appears after it! It isnt even able to be highlighted! The second line of the form contains a div with style='display:none'. If there's no div containing anything to do with display, this "overflow" error doesnt occur. There should be no difference in inserting a non-displayed div vs. never putting the div in the code at all, but (in IE at least), there is. stupid & frustrating. Has anyone run into this problem or have any idea why this might be occuring? Its already stumped a couple fellow programmers. Greetings, I have a 3 column layout with a header, nav bar, content space and footer on the center column, making the center column have 4 rows. The content div's height is set to auto and it's overflow to auto so that when the browser is maximized on higher resolutions it will expand and contain the text without a scrollbar. alternatively it will give a scroll bar if the content div is shrunk below 300px. however the auto height on the content div is causing it to take up more room than necessary. if the window is shrunken down, the content text will leak out over the footer bar and beyond. Before i post code does anyone have any suggestions on what i should be looking for? If code is wanted lemme know. Hi, I'm new to CSS and haven't been able to get this working. I have two layers, one for an image, and another for text that goes on top. The text is supposed to be centered and the image should be centered wrt the text. The problem is that sometimes a word in the text will be too long and there's overflow. When this happens, the image stays on the left and the text box gets larger. This way the image isn't right behind the center of the text. I tried using overflow: visible but this didn't change anything. Thanks for any help. My desired layout is working the way I want it to in IE, but not in any other browser. I've been messing with the layout and the CSS for a while now, and I'm officially at a loss. I set the height of the div that the content is in, but when the content were to overflow, I want the background image to repeat. If you enlarge the text a couple of times using Apple + or Alt +, you will see what I mean. Example HTML: <body> <div id="bodycontent"> <div id="content">Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br /></div> <div id="signup">Sign up comes here.</div> <div id="footer">Footer links come here.</div> </div> <div id="coverart"><img src="images/artwork0105.jpg" alt="Strut Magazine Cover Art" border="0" /></div> <div id="topmenu">Menu comes here.</div> </body> CSS: body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0px; } #bodycontent { width: 750px; position: absolute; top: 28px; background-image: url(images/bg0105.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; height: auto; } #content { width: 276px; margin-left: 474px; height: 704px; } #topmenu { height: 27px; width: 749px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; vertical-align: top; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } #signup { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; text-align: center; width: 750px; height: auto; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 750px; background-color: #FFFFFF; height: auto; } #coverart { height: 704px; width: 474px; position: absolute; top: 28px; } Thanks! Ok i have a piece of code for the menu that works the way i want in IE but in Mozilla totaly screwed. Any help to fix this? Try this link in IE then in FireFox HTML Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Community</a></li> <li><a href="#">Members</a></li> <li><a href="#">Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="#">Servers</a></li> <li><a href="#">IRC</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">Links</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code:
#navcontainer
{
heigt:100px;
}
#navlist ul
{
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
#navlist li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
}
#navlist a {
padding: 3px 10px;
margin: -3px 6px;
}
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;
text-decoration: none;
text-align:center;
background: #366 url(lbg.gif);
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#navlist a:hover

Hi there, I'm back again I'm afriad with another minor problem with my new site design. Have a look at the test version of my website he http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolearn.net/classifieds/ If you are looking at it in Internet Explorer it should look fine, but if you try it in Mozilla Firefox or Netscape it looks badly messed up. The problem is with the 2 boxes near the top of the page, the "latest forum posts" one and the "search box". The whole page (from bellow the navbar) is laid out by the php script that generates most of the content of the site. Thus I am limited in what I can adjust but I can use .css to layout these two boxes. Here is the css that controls the forum and search boxes: Code:
.forums {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #666666;
padding: 5px 10px 10px;
background-color: #F9F9F9;
position: relative;
width: 453px;
height: 100px;
left: 10px;
top: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float: left;
}
.searchbox {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #666666;
background-color: #F9F9F9;
width: 230px;
height: 100px;
left: 20px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 15px;
top: 10px;
position: relative;
}
.listings {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
}
Now I'm pretty sure that the problem lies with the "float" property in .forums. I seem to recall Mozilla and Netscape don't recognise this in the same way IE does. Is there a way of making the site look the same in other browsers as it does in IE? Without the "float" property I have failed to get it to look right, but there must be some way around this problem. I'd really appreciate any help, as this one thing has been holding me back for ages! Thanks, Robert i was looking for way how to display vertical text with css and found a solution: #vertical { writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH flipV; } <div id="vertical">display vertical text</div> however, this works fine with IE 6.0, but is comletely ignored with Mozilla 1.4! is it that Mozilla just doesn't support this or is there a way how to work it around(write it in a way both IE and Mozilla could understand it)? i'll aprecciate your help very much.. I have some text in a div tag, but Mozilla aligns it to the bottom, where as IE alignns it to the top. Code: <div id="bottom" class="bottom" align="center">

How can I get them to vertically align them same? Thanks. -Sean Here's the css code. Code:
.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
background-color:#F5F9FA;
}
.toolbar {
border:0;
padding:0;
margin:auto;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
.toolbar a {
display:block;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
text-decoration:none;
}
It works fine when you hover over a link, it lights up the back of the td which is what I want. However I would like the whole td to act as a link. So wherever you move the mouse over the td it lights up and would link to the page, instead of just over the text. Any suggestions? For some reason the bottom border on my text in SPAN.standard_field_type_info works fine in firefox but on IE7 (I don't have IE6 anymore to test) it is not shown. I am pretty sure it is a margin/padding thing hiding the border but I can't remember how to fix it. Anyone got the rather simple solution? Cheers. PHP Code: DIV.standard_field_container { width: 98%; padding: 0.4em; border: 1px solid #8B8B8B; background-color: #E2E2E2; overflow: hidden; } DIV.standard_field_left { width: 10em; float: left; margin-right: 1.5em; font: bold 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } DIV.standard_field_right { font: normal 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } SPAN.standard_field_type_info { font-weight: normal; color: #ff0000; border-bottom: 1px dashed #ff0000; cursor: help; } First off, here is the url to the page I am working on: http://chaos.ramdu.net/projects/new_design/test.html And the code: Code:

The page renders as thought in FireFox, but in IE, the DIV containers expand to the width of the white DIV. I want the page to render in IE exactly as it does in FireFox, but I am at a loss to try and do it. I used the following code to hide overflowing content in one of my earlier works. Not working this time, check it yourself (purple section), http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ Code:
<style>
.playlist { float:left; width:474px; height:80px; background:#FFF; overflow:hidden; }
.playlist .entries { position:absolute; width:10000em; }
.playlist .entries a { float:left; width:452px; height:60px; font-size:9px; padding:10px; background:#90F;}
.playlist .entries a:hover { background-position:-211px 0; color:#000; }
.playlist .entries a.playing { background-position:-422px 0; }
.playlist .entries a.paused { background-position:-633px 0; }
.playlist .entries a.progress { opacity:0.8; }
/* prev, next, prevPage and nextPage buttons */
a.prev, a.next, a.prevPage, a.nextPage { float:left; width:20px; height:60px; margin:15px 0; background:url(/html/themes/default/images/home_carousel_arrow_left.png) no-repeat; display:block; cursor:pointer;}
/* mouseover state */
a.prev:hover, a.next:hover, a.prevPage:hover, a.nextPage:hover { background-position:0px -18px; }
/* disabled navigational button */
a.disabled { visibility:hidden !important; }
/* next button uses another background image */
a.next, a.nextPage { background-image:url(/html/themes/default/images/home_carousel_arrow_right.png); }
</style>
I have nested tables and when an inner table has margin-left: 50px and width: 100%, the inner table overflows the outer table. The problem occurs with IE6 and Opera 7 (didn't test with Opera 8). Here is the code: Code: <style type="text/css">
table.cmnt
{
border-collapse: collapse;
margin-top: 8px;
border: 1px solid black;
width:100%;
text-align: left;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
}
</style>
<table border="1" width="70%" cellpadding="7">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="cmnt" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<th>
Title
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="cmnt" style="margin-left: 50px;" cellpadding="3">
<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Correct rendering with Firefox: Incorrect rendering with IE: (the images are cropped) Any ideas how to fix this? Okay here's the problem, I have used px instead of % and I have a feeling it's ruined my whole site because of the fact that users can set their font size custom which TOTALLY messes up margins and things that I have set so precisely. Here is my site: www.msredimp.000webhost.info At small it works perfectly and the forms stay all normal, but when it's increased or decreased it totally ruins it. Is there a way to force the settings in Mozilla to normal size? Or any other way? Thank you, and sorry for being such a newbie. I'm kinda new to css and trying to do this layout with CSS looks ok it IE but I cant get Netscape containers to expand. http://countrystampinangel.com/test.html http://countrystampinangel.com/test.css Hi, I am really stuck and need some help. I have created an alphabet of links across the top of a page. The mark up is like this; <div id="alphabet"> <a href="#">a</a> <a href="#">b</a> ... </div> Along with an Eric Meyer reset.css stylesheet it has the following CSS applied; #alphabet{ width: 940px; margin: 0 auto;} #alphabet a { text-decoration: none; color: #757575; font-size: 20px; margin: 5px 5px; padding: 5px 5px; border: 1px dashed #757575;} #alphabet a:hover { color: #333; border: 1px solid #333; } #alphabet a.current-letter{ background: #545353; color: #ffe224; font-weight:600;} The problem I have is that the #alphabet container only has the height of links' text. It does not included the padding, margin or border. Therefore if I apply a background to #alphabet the links' top and bottom borders appear outside of the div. I have tried adding overflow: hidden/auto but that only resulted in making the bit outside the div disappear. Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks in advance Hey it's a Friday night and I'm having the worst problems with IE. My page looks ok in FF and Safari but in IE the body is overflowing by like 350px or so. I don't know why it's doing this. I've used my Firebug but it doesn't really style that overflow section. It's like a ghost section. Doc type is XHTML strict, here's the pertinent CSS. Thanks for any help you can offer. This is kind of ruining my friday night. Code:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
background: #000 url('img/mainbg.jpg') top left repeat-x;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin:0;
height: 1200px;
}
#icontainer {

margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;

}

margin-left: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0;
width: 974px;
height: 1200px;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
I'm having a problems with a form overflowing it's containing div Link removed The html: Code:
<div id="mainbody">
<h2>Manage Double rooms by day</h2>
<br/>
<form name="list" id = "calendarmonth" action="" method="post">
....
</form>
<form name="list" id="#updatedays" action="updatewebroomdays.php" method="post">
...
</form>
</div>
Code: #mainbody {
padding:0;
margin: 4em;
position:relative;
}
#content {
position:relative;
background-color:#ffffff;
margin-top: -1em;
}
I can fix it buy adding another div around the containting div, like this Code: <div id="content">
<div id="mainbody">
<h2>Manage Double rooms by day</h2>
<br/>
<form name="list" id = "calendarmonth" action="" method="post">
....
</form>
<form name="list" id="#updatedays" action="updatewebroomdays.php" method="post">
...
</form>
</div>
</div>

Hello everyone, I am pretty new to css but have code from various css sites that have used to get the layout i wanted. I am having an issue with IE7. In IE8 and Chrome everything is working like intended. The link to the page in question is philadler.com/dance09.html I have validated the CSS and xhmtl and the page passed both. Can anyone tell my why in IE7 the content is overflowing into the right column, but in the other 2 browsers i have tested it works fine. Also, does anyone know of a good photo gallery. Some of the events i will be putting have hundreds of pictures is there an auto formating or auto coding gallery that will look at the folder of the pictures and at it to the gallery? Thanks for any help Phil |
