CSS - Menu On Left Shifts Content To Right
I'm having a few problems with my CSS design which I can't seem to solve right now, despite lots of searching and code editing.
I'm trying to do a simple design with two columns - a left menu and the main content on the right. It should be a simple page I think. It's probably easier to see an example of the page I'm talking about: http://edwin.netbits.co.uk/devshed/...blem/index.html In Firefox, it looks fine. But in IE 6 the line "Some text" is slightly more to the right than the line "and some more text". If you select the text on the right, it's slightly more obvious (see screenshot). It seems that the menu on the left is somehow shifting the text over. I have looked at tutorials (such as this one), but the test page I put together has the same problem. I think this is probably a simple problem, but I can't work out what's wrong. The HTML and CSS code is shown below. HTML: Code: <div id="contentscontainer"> <div id="left"> Menu </div> <div id="contents"> Some text<br /><br />and some more text </div> </div> CSS: Code: div#contentscontainer { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } div#left { float: left; width: 50px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } div#contents { padding: 0px; margin-left: 170px; } Thanks, Edwin Similar Tutorialsi have a site that if the page isn't cached, some of the content starts like, at the top of the page and then shifts in to it's positioned place. why does this happen? how can i stop it? Hi All, Hopefully I'm asking this in the right place-- this may be more of a CSS/HTML question. I currently have a DIV at the top of my webpage, with it's style as "none." [code] <div id='confirm' style="Display:none;"><p>Item Has Been Updated</p></div> Anyway, I have a little function that changes the display to "block" when an action occurs with database. Doing so, it display the DIV fine. However, it moves the "entire" page (meaning the rest of my DIVS) downward. This is kind of an eyesore when everything moves like that. Besides moving the DIV to the bottom of the page, how would I achieve displaying the DIV at the top without shifting the rest of the content downward? Thanks very much. I'm helping these fine folks fix a few little issues with their site but this one I can't seem to quite figure out. If you roll over the main menu you will see the sub menu slide down on the left. For the life of me I can't get it to line up under the main nav. I've tried many, many things. Can anyone provide a few hints, tips, suggestions? Thanks so much!!! 98.214.188.71/life at excel.htm Code: /*******************menu starts********************/ #menu{float:left; width:100%; background:#ffffff;} #menu a{font-weight:bold; line-height:16px;} #menu table{float:left;

BUT then also make sure that, if the image's height is larger than the div, the div still covers the bottom. I know you can use a "float killer" div, however if I want a float killer on EVERY div class of this type, is there some easy way to tell the css to ALWAYS include code at the bottom? Also what method would a good coder use to vertically align the content on the right so that there isn't a lot of empty space? Thanks hi, i have created a simple css layout and its displaying correctly in google chrome, firefox, IE 6 and IE 7. However, IE 8 is covering the 1px border on the left of the containing div section with the image contained within the logo. I tried adding a 1px padding and margin which only served to push the image over the right hand side border in IE 8. Does anyone know whats causing this issue? Here is my code below. Thanks in advance. First, the HTML code:- Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <head> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' /> <meta http-equiv='Content-Language' content='en-us' /> <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/default.css' /> </head> <body> <div id='page'> <div id='logo'> <img src='gfx/siteLogo.jpg' alt='Our Website Logo' /> </div> </div> </body> </html> Now the css file:- Code: /* page structure definitions */ html { font-size: 100%; } body { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 20px */ padding-top: 1.25em; padding-bottom: 1.25em; text-align: center; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; background-color: white; /* 16px */ font-size: 1em; } #page { margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 1px */ border: solid black 0.0625em; background-color: #ABBAD9; } #logo { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 150px */ height: 9.375em; } #logo img { margin: 0; padding: 0; /* 900px */ width: 56.25em; /* 150px */ height: 9.375em; } The image in the logo is 900px * 150px. I'm working on a really simple theme. You can see the progress here. this is a table-less theme. trouble that I'm having is that I cannot get the content to center. It is all floated left. Now, I'm intentionally floating the left column to the left, but that's the only thing (and changing that didn't fix the problem either). So I'm hoping one of you css gurus will have some suggestions. (link to style.css file) Thanks in Advance! I'm trying to use CSS to create a layout that has a top header, followed by a left side navbar, a center content area, and a bottom footer. I'm totally lost by the CSS needed to make this happen. Here's what I'm trying. It's borrowed from other posts that came up by searching for headers and footer. Any help would be fantastic. I'm trying to end my use of frames for the header and navbar. Thanks in advance for any help. Code: #header { left: 0; width: 100%; height:125px; top: 0; background-image: url(images/topbackground2.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #navbar{ width:122px; height:100%; background-color:#3f79a1; position: absolute; top: 125px; left: 0px;} #footer{ background-image: url(images/gradientsmaller2.gif); font: 10pt; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left:0; background-color: #ccffcc; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 0 15%; } Hello, My first CSS site was going fine; I was learning as I went and drawing from different resources. My code and CSS probably isn't very pretty ( I validated it, I know it needs to be cleaned up) but things were working. Then I went back and made some adjustments concerning the widths of my column divs. Now I find that Firefox is respecting the rightcolumn div (specifically: <div id="contentright">)but IE keeps kicking it to the bottom left. I've tried messing with the column lengths so everything fits accordingly as specified in the frame div width. Can anyone please take a look and offer a suggestion? thanks. http://www.brinjac.com/test/binnspark.html Hi, I have a site with a left navigation bar (which is fixed width, and has a background colour that must stretch full screen from top to bottom of the page). The site is: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005/z.html Stylesheet: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005...s/style2005.css As you can see, the left navigation menu stops once the content within the div is displayed. It does not stretch to the bottom of the screen. (say if you're on 1024 x 768 resolution) Note: this varies according to the main (right) content. If the main content was shorter than the menu bar - it would work fine. The menu bar has a min-height of 100% which means the background applies to the size of your screen. However, if the main content height is greater than that of the menu bar - then the menu bar will not adapt, but the background simply stops. Is there a workaround for this? With tables, this could easily be achieved because the background colour of one cell is stretch until the end of the table, and not the content within the cell. However, I'd like to do this with CSS. Here's some CSS: Code: body, p { color:#666666 ; font-family: Verdana, Arial ; font-size:7.5pt ; font-weight:normal; } body { height:100%; margin: 0px; background-color: #2F201E; } #container { width: 968px; height:100%; } #nav { width: 201px; border-right: 3px solid #FFFFFF; background: #8D603B; float: left; min-height:100%; } I've tried switching "min-height" and "height" but they don't seem to do what I want.... if anyone could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks a lot! So I have this code...

This is the first time I've done it this way. In the past I've used floats (either floating the content, and putting a margin on the menu, or floating the menu and putting a maring on the content.) This method does not work in IE7 as the menu's links are not selectable. That doesn't necessarily mean this is the wrong way to do it... but, I was looking for opinions and suggestions as to what's the "right" way to accomplish this so that development and maintenance is easy... the content and menus are self contained (i.e. they don't or at least only minimally affect each other)... and it works cross browser. Thanks Bryan Hi. I just have a simple question. I would like to design a web page that has a menu bar at top, a left side bar, and probably a news wire type bar on the right. Something similar to the way the main Dev Shed page is set up. I'm not asking for anyone to explain to me how to do this, I just don't know what I need to look into to do this. Is CSS what I'm looking for? Or is it something else? I've just started to learn PHP and that's the language I'm programming in, so is there some useful way to do this in PHP? Also, any tips about news wires? Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction. Hi I want to create a text rollover menu on the very left hand side only (standard display). I want it in a table so I can have content on right hand side. I don't know whether to have each link in its own cell or 1 big cell and have a list of items. I decided to have a list of items but the items display on right side of the table cell and align left doesn't work. Code: a { display: block; width:100px; text-decoration: none; } #list1 { /* all list items */ background: lightblue; border-width:1px; /* thin is not the same in different browsers */ border-color:black; border-style:solid; /* required */ list-style-type:none; } I just want the list to display on left hand side and have a box around each item which it isn't. I am spending way too long fiddling about with this . I am trying to space out my menu from the primary container. right now its completely on the left i am want to give it a 4 pixel space but I am relevantly new to css/html cant figure it out. This is what i have for the menu. Code: .twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 { float: left ; width: 12em; background: #000000; padding: 15px 0; border: 1px solid #ffffff; } Thanks In Advance Hi everyone, I just have this pain with aligning the whole red thing to left of the page browser (cause it just keeps hanging on the center) - you can check my homepage below - you will see the problem - what should I do to move the whole thing to left? Thank you in advance. The URL: http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/ The problem.... in IE7, the left menu is shifted to the right. If you refresh the page, the issue is resolved.... until you go onto one of the links again! I've split the CSS up into many files (tables, colours, fonts, left list, right list etc etc) One of my colour CSS files contains the code for the colouring of the lists. Within this, I have found: PHP Code: ul#navlist li a:hover, ul#navlistRight li a:hover { border-color: #ff0; background: #9cf; color:#000; } which seems to be causing the problem. Taking it out seems to works fine BUT I do lose the colour change. I've attached the 2 stylesheets that I use for the menu on the left. Please help! Hello, I am having problems positioning my left menu on non IE browsers, The menu appears fine in IE, can anyone help please, I have attached my code Code: body { margin:20px; background:#ffffff; text-align:center; padding:0; } #outer { text-align:left; border:0px solid #000000; width:785px; margin:auto; } #hdr { height:30px; background:#ffffff; } #bar { height:25px; background:#ffffff; border:solid #000000; border-width:1px 0 1px 0; } #bodyblock { position:relative; background: #fffff; width:785px; padding:0; } #l-col { width:204px; height:452px; float:left; background:#fff; background-image:url(images/left.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; padding-bottom:10px; } #cont { width:565px; background:#ffffff; border:solid #000000; border-width:0 0 0 0px; } #middle { width:5px; float:left; background:#fff; } #ftr { height:25px; background:#c0c0c0; border:solid black; border-width:1px 0 0 0; margin:0; } I would like to align left images so that they touch against each other. Here is a capture of my problem. dollhedz.com/test [CODE] <style type="text/css"> body{ background-color:#000033; color:#00cc33; } #wrapper{ background-color:#000000; margin:15px auto 0px; width:700px; height:800px; } #sitenav{ background-image:url(sitegrax/sitenavback.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; height:55px; padding-left:213px; border: 0px; margin:0px; text-align:left; } #one{ float:left; text-align:left; align:left; margin:0px; padding:0px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="banner"><img src="sitegrax/banner.jpg" alt=" yellow Jacket dodging a 355 smoothbore slug" border="0" /> </div> <div id="sitenav" > <div id="one"><a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_game_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation games" border="1" /></a> <a href="" align="left"><img src="sitegrax/bt_history_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation history" border="1" /></a> <a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_pilot_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation pilot"border="1" /></a></div> </div> </div> </body> </code> Problem: There is a 5 to 6 pixel space between each image that I would like gone. The 1px border around each image is there to show the edge of each image. thank you for your time I am a bit new to CSS and am currently in the process of converting a design over to CSS2 and have run into come difficulty. I've created a list based horizontal menu and I want elements to align to both the left and right ends. Simply by adding "float:left" to most of the elements and "float: right" to others, I was able to get it to work, but strangely only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. The latter seems to drop my right aligned image onto the next line. For the offending code, please see: http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/top_menu_v1.html http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/css/right_menu_v1.css Also, any suggestions on the code would be highly appreciated. I have no doubt its more verbose than needed. 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) |
