CSS - Some Problems In Layout (firefox And Ie)

This may be a wordpress issue or it may be an issue with my coding that I've modified in my css/settings for the theme, but I can't get the site to display consistently across all three major browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome). My site: www(.)cinemasight(.)com

For some reason, Firefox is adding a margin (20px maybe?) to the "Content" div. This isn't present in IE and Chrime is adding an image to the background of the "Content" div that isn't present in any of the CSS that I can find.

Similarly, in the upper right hand section, with the Facebook, RSS and Twitter links, the Google Search bar is displaying entirely differently on all three browsers.

Code posted below:

Resolved.

This picture((URL address blocked: See forum rules) ) will show you the page layout at the moment, Here you can see a lot of lines in paint i did.


Edit2: The picture damaged page formatting so here it is:
img206.imageshack.us/img206/107/57260190dy8.png

The Pink lines are what i ideally want to happen, however, my "posts" are overlapping into my right hand navigations (the red dotted lines).

I fixed this with a z-index for now but i really need a solution to this
Id prefer it if i had some kind of Div tag which Held the two content areas seperate (as posts will wrap around the navigations) this is displayed in the orange boxes.

If anyone could offer some help id greatly appreciate it its just annoying me .... and ive only just learnt CSS layouts so i can only fix so much


Code was a bit long, but as i cant Link to it for some reason ill spam it he

My Problem is why do these 2 Boxes do not fit together?

greetings and thx in advance

Hello.
I am 2 problems with my site. In firefox everything is ok in IE6 & IE 7 is is broken.

Here are the problems.

1. The search bar.

It should look like this(Firefox):
URL
But in IE it looks like this:
URL

The HTML code is:
Code:

<div class="search_menu_banner">
     <div class="search_background">
       <div class="searchname">Search</div>
	   <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
       <div class="searchbox">
         <label>
		 </form>
         <input type="text" class="searchtextbox" name="s" id="searchtextbox" />
         </label>
       </div>
       <div class="searchbox">
	   <input type="image" style="float: left; display:inline; position:relative;" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/go.png" alt="Search" />
         
		 </form>
		 
       </div>

And the CSS:
Code:

.search_menu_banner {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 38px;
	width: 1004px;
}
.search_background {
	background-image: url(images/search.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 38px;
	width: 363px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 74px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	margin-left: 25px;
}
.searchname {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #9a2500;
	text-decoration: none;
	float: left;
	height: 20px;
	padding-top: 12px;
	padding-right: 8px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 50px;
	margin: 0px;
}

.searchtextbox {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #333333;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 19px;
	width: 200px;
	border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
.searchtextbox:hover {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #333333;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 19px;
	width: 200px;
	border: 1px solid #999999;
}
#searchform {

	margin: 0px;

	padding: 0px;

	overflow: hidden;

	}

	

.searchbox {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #9a2500;
	text-decoration: none;
	float: left;
	height: 20px;
	padding-top: 8px;
	padding-right: 8px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
}

And the second problem involves multiple column lists.
In FF it looks like this:
URL
But in IE it only shows the last column:
URL

The HTML for these is:
Code:

<ul>
  <li class="col1"><b>Ale Noastre</b></li>
  <li class="col1"><a href="http://viatadestudent.com/category/video/">Video</a></li>
  <li class="col1"><a href="http://viatadestudent.com/category/poze/">Poze</a></li>

  <li class="col3"><a href="#">Evenimente</a></li>
  <li class="col4 coltopper"><b>Coloana4</b></li>
  <li class="col4"><a href="#">In Curand</a></li>
  <li class="col4"><a href="#">In Curand</a></li>
  <li class="col4"><a href="#">In Curand</a></li>
  <li class="col4"><a href="#">In Curand</a></li>
  <li class="col5 coltopper"><b>Prieteni</b></li>
  <li class="col5"><a href="http://www.incomplex.ro/" target="_blank">In Complex</a></li>
  <li class="col5"><a href="http://www.wnmag.net/" target="_blank">Web News Magazine</a></li>
  <li class="col5"><a href="http://www.incomplex.ro/" target="_blank">In Complex</a></li>

  <li class="col6"><a href="http://www.cadrix.ro/" target="_blank">Cadrix Media</a></li>
</ul>

And the CSS:
Code:

#footer ul {

	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	font-size: 11px;
	list-style: none; 
}

#footer li {
	line-height: 1.3em; 
	margin: 0px;

	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

	background-repeat: no-repeat; 
	list-style: none;
}

#footer li.reset
  {
    margin-top: -6.5em;
  }
#footer html ul li
{
	position: relative;
}



#footer li.col1 {margin-left: -35em;}
 
#footer li.col2 {margin-left: -20em;}
 
#footer li.col3 {margin-left: -5em;}

#footer li.col4 {margin-left: 10em;}

#footer li.col5 {margin-left: 25em;}

#footer li.col6 {margin-left: 40em;}

 
#footer li.coltopper {margin-top: -6.5em;}

#footer li.a {

	text-decoration: none;
}

#footer li.a:visited {

	text-decoration: none;
}

#footer li.a:hover {

}

Hey everyone, first time poster here as I just found this site. Hope someone can help me fix my css problems I'm having on the site.

http://intlops.orbisblue.com/testing2/

What I'm looking to do is to have the IOPS logo sitting just ontop of the content box centered. Then the two pictures, Americas and Africa within the content box spaced evenly side by side with the text below them that is bulleted.

Any help / tips/ corrections would be greatly useful and appreciated. Thank you.

Hello all,

Its my first post here so you'll have to bear with my ignorance for code! (im just a lowly designer struggling to learn HTML)

Heres the site im having problems with
http://www.madewithpixels.co.uk

ive been hammering away at this over the last two weeks trying to sort out all sorts of cross browser problems... the aim being to get the whole thing rendering exactly the same on all browsers / all platforms...

Ive sorted the cross browser issues... but am having problems with layout of the page on MAC Internet Explorer 5.2 (everything is a-ok in safari)

The problem is (for those of you without access to a mac) the main navigation links in the top frame. they are aligned perfectly well on my PC in all browsers... but in MAC IE5.2 the alignment is all over the place....

I was originally using <span>'s to set the line spacing / padding of each line, but to ensure cross browser support I had to swith to using <DIV>'s inside a .container style in the CSS.... i am positive that this is where the problem lies as the text lined up perfectly on the MAC before i switched from <SPAN> to <DIV>'s

ANY help at all here would be greatly appreciated... i am soooo close yet so very far away!

thanks

Mike

**edit**
ive just been playing around with this for an hour and found that changing the text size within IE MAC to say 90% and then changing it back to 100% seems to correct the problem.... curious, now im even more baffled than before!

Hi there

I have done my first CSS based design, it has bassed w3c validation both for the html and css.

It looks exactly how I want in firefox, but in IE7 it is all messed up.

I would be really grateful if someone could take a look and let me know where I am going wrong.

There are two issues in IE7

1. Content seems to go under the footer and lose the correct background.

2. Horizontal navigation menu button look weird.

You can view the page at

82(dot)147(dot)22(dot)10/~ifasouth/

as I have not redireceted DNS yet

..

hello,
(and excuse me if a similar topic already exists, i just couldn't find anything that matches my problem here,)

i have a CSS layout problem. the site is located he http://raami.maailm.net/ and the CSS file can be found he http://raami.maailm.net/layout/user.css. i have tested it on all sorts of browsers, problems occurred only on some versions of Konqueror and the often problematic Netscape 4. but this is not the question.

the question is as follows. i later used a computer with win98 and ie6 to browse the site, and the layout was not working. actually, it was totally screwed up. as i couldn't reproduce a similar problem elsewhere, there is no screenshot.

if you cannot reproduce the problem, but some of you have at least the same OS and browser, can you post a screenshot? some directions how to solve this, would also be useful.

thanks in forward,
julius

OK, first off from a bad experience on another CSS Forum , I will have to begin with a disclaimer:

The blog you're about to view is my original content. I did not steal this work. I did however use Photoshop brushes that were made by others to create my work. The credit is properly given to those people on my active blog.

The blog that I'm having CSS/HTML problems with is INCOMPLETE, so you will not see any credits their yet. It is NOT MY REAL BLOG. I change the template there about every month with new experiements.

It's sad that I have to take up so much time to write a disclaimer because too many people out their jump on the "YOU PLAGIARIZER - YOU DID IT" bandwagon. So, I was told by a very presumptious group of forum members to write a disclaimer in the future.

Whew! Now that I got that outa the way.........

I need help.

This is the site I'm having trouble with.

Main Index Template

Sidebar

Stylesheet

I've been working on this same template for a week now. I'm not the type to ask for help. I'm very stubborn and prefer to do things on my own because it's usually faster and easier. But now I'm tearing my hair out - not able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

My blockquote is bleeding off the screen. I'll start with that for now. I've tried div's, widths, margins, paddings. Believe me, I've toyed with every possibility out there.

Not only that, but I can't tell you how many "CSS/HTML" (including the w3 schools) help pages I've read out there. None of them have supplied what I need to know to fix my layout.

If any of you have the slighest clue, please help. I'd really appreciate it!!

Hi,

I'm trying to constuct what, in real terms, is a simplistic page layout using CSS-P.

Maybe I'm being stupid - but here goes...

I am trying to constuct a page as follows:

header (viewport width)
leftMenu (width 150px)
content (as wide as necessary) - top aligned with top of leftMenu
footer (viewport width) - underneath the "tallest" of "Left Menu" and "Content"

Easy huh?

But, as soon as any content is greater than [viewportWidth - 150] (150=width of leftMenu), the content (depending, of course, on the CSS implementation) either slips below the leftMenu, disappears altogether(?), or has the footer right underneath the header with everything else below.

I could do this with a simple table construct in under a minute. So please - CSS gurus, can you advise me how to achieve this in CSS, as it seems impossible (10 hours+)?

I thought CSS was supposed to make design easy; If I'm not missing something and CSS can't achieve this (common) basic layout - what hope is there?

All comments truly appreciated,

hi all! so i'm working on a redesign of our corporate site but i'm having a few problems with this menu i'm coding.

http://washsq.com/test/index.html

if you take a look at this there are 3 problems i can't seem to fix, no matter what i try.

1. why does the padding each menu button extend over the border for the entire div?

2. how can i get the gap between each button to be 0?

3. how can i float this entire menu to the right of the div?

i've tried a lot but nothing seems to work. thanks!

I want to make a liquid layout with 4 boxes in this shape:

[ 100% ]
[50%][50%]
[ 100% ]

I have tried several solutions, but run into troubble with the bottom box all the time.

This is what the problem looks like:

If I comment out the bottom box the two middle boxes look fine:

Any help would be most welcome.
