CSS - Paragraph Gets Invisible In Ie

How would I change this to make list elements invisible?

At the moment it just greys them out?

div.sideBox ul li.disabled {
display: block;
padding: 2px 0 2px 7px;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #777777;
}

So Id like to make the element basically like it doesnt exist.
I dont want any spaces left over.

Ive tried this
div.sideBox ul li.disabled2 {
visibility:hidden;
}

but it leaves an empty space.

Hi all!

I have some DIVs and I want only one of them to be visible. Here is some simplified code:

Code:

<p>
	<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="document.getElementById('div1').style.visibility='visible';document.getElementById('div2').style.vis  ibility='hidden';">Show DIV 1</a>
	<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="document.getElementById('div1').style.visibility='hidden';document.getElementById('div2').style.visi  bility='visible';">Show DIV 2</a>
</p>

<div id="div1" style="visibility:visible">
	this is the content of div 1
	<br/>line 2
	<br/>line 3
</div>
	
<div id="div2" style="visibility:hidden">
	this is the content of div 2
	<br/>line 2
</div>

By clicking the <a> link, one DIV becomes visible, the other is hidden.

The problem is that there is a gap between them, both in FF2 and IE7. Can someone explain me why there is this gap, and if there is a way I can remove it?

TIA
Alex

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to make a DIV invisible in IE but still available for mouse events? I have an arrows image used for navigating a map, I have placed invisible DIV boxes at select places on the arrows image and have various events triggered when these DIV's are clicked, this works fine in FF but in IE (as per usual) if the DIV doesn't have its backgroundColor set then the mouse events don't fire, it is like IE is saying 'the user can't see them therefore they aren't there'. Is there any way around this?

P.S I can't use any kind of opacity (as it will effect the map image below the arrow image) and I have to use DIV's, slicing the image or <map> aren't an option for this.

Cheers,

Chris

Hey,

i've got a contact form , and to the right of it i want the contact information.

it's showing up in FF, but won't sit next to the form, it's going to the top, and doesn't even show up in IE...it's in the source, but not visible on the page.

Here's the CSS;
Code:

#formbox {
margin:10px 15px;
padding:15px;
border:1px solid #333;
width:40%;
font-size:8pt;
color:white;
}
.inputareas {
width:60%;
border:1px solid white;
background-color:#FBAB2B;
color:#333;
padding:1px;
margin:2px;
}

.submit {
border:1px solid white;
background-color:#FBAB2B;
color:#333;
margin:2px;
}

textarea {
font-size:8pt;
color:#333;
}

/* contact form paragraph */

.contactform {
border:1px solid #333;
width:35%;
font-size:8pt;
color:white;
position:relative;
left:55%;
z-index:20;
}

and the html;
Code:

thanks!

My "sidebar" div isn't appearing, and neither is my paragraph inside my "mainContent" div. I have looked online and proofed it over and over, but can't seem to find the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

I have used this in my CSS:

p { margin-top: 0.5em;}

But it renders differently in IE6 and Netscape 7.

Is there a method to get this equal in both ?

Thanks.

Finally nearing completion of my site upgrade and fixing some minor visual problems. One of them being that the spacing between paragraphs is off. In that paragraphs are flushed against one another.

After googling this for some time I found a fix that works perfect in opera and firefox but ie just refuses to go along. So my question is what do I do for it to work in IE?

The code that works for FF and Opera is:
Code:

p.normTxt + p.normTxt {
 margin-top: 1em;
}

In IE the above code doesnt' work and acts like it's not even there. I really don't want to do margin-top, margin-bottom b/c that introduces another problem of only spacing if it's a middle paragraph.

Thanks.

I read somewhere that we can format the first letter of each paragraph separately from the rest of it by CSS. Is possible and how?

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem where my text is resonably small and the paragraph spaces between them look silly because they seem much too big for the font size.

Please have a look at my example below:

CSS:
Code:

   div.orange{
    background-color: #993400;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    width: 174px;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-weight: none;
    text-align: justify;
    padding: 3px
   }

   .orangeHilight{
    color: #000000;
    font-weight: bold;
   }

HTML:
Code:

<div class="orange"><p>DO YOU KNOW?</p>

<p class="orangeHilight">Suppliers are shown per your choice of category:</p>

<p>PLATINUM suppliers are shown first, with details of their companies and hospitality experience, contact details and a link to their own web sites for a closer look at their products. They also have pictures in the listing.<br>
GOLD suppliers are shown next, but without pictures.<br>
SILVER suppliers are listed with limited information and contact details.</p>

<p>We also have a number of free listings for suppliers not currently registered with Hotelstuff. These are suppliers who may be of interest to you.  Our toll free desk can help you with current contact information.</p></div>

See what I mean. So is there anyway to reduce the space between paragraphs?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Hey folks,

i'm just doing some experimenting with css right now, and hit a snag.

if you look at the page, you'll see 'howdy' inside the top negative. i'm trying to format the text to fit inside the middle section of the negatives...one negative per paragraph. Whenever i try formatting it, it shifts the image downward, and i don't know what to do to fix it.

CSS
Code:

.ptext {
font:10px verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color:white;
padding:50px 60px;
width:350px;
height:375px;
}

p {
background:black url(images/negative.gif) no-repeat left;
height:375px;
width:350px;
}

I'm a CSS newbie and this is my very first page that I have to make for a class. I can't figure out how to move my text below/center my headline. Every time it gets close (when I use margins) it jumps right to the bottom.

P.S. If my code seems strange it's because I'm not really sure what I'm doing yet, so if you have any advice/better ways to achieve the same effect, please let me know

I think this is a very basic quesiton, but I am stumped with it. How can I make a paragraph that will be a specific width in the middle of the page for example regardless of the size of the monitor or browser window - that is, the paragraph will stay the same width even though it is on a page that will stretch to fill the entire window? This can be done of course with tables, but I would like to know how to do it with CSS. The margin property seems of no help because you must assume a given size of the page or parent element.

I have a bunch of text with nice formatting using paragraphs and I want to have a spacing between the paragraphs. I could easily do that by:

Code:

p { margin-bottom: 25px; }

But that will make it so the last paragraph to also have a margin like that, how can I make it so that the last paragraph have a bottom margin of 0? Just the last one in that bunch of text.

Now that, this is dynamic content generated by WordPress. WordPress text is place using paragraphs but the last paragraph on each post also has a margin that shouldn't be there, or my current design of course.

Is there a way around this?

Hi,

I'm getting a weird problem when viewing my client's site with IE6, however, it works fine in IE7 and FF.

Here's the link:

As you'll notice, the middle area containing the description of the home is messed up. Basically, the background resizes as you move the browser scroll bar up and down. Never seen this before. Does the same with the comment area below, too.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Thanks in advance.
