CSS - Div's Not Showing In Ie5? - Something To Do With Overflow?
Hi
If you take a lookk at this http://www.premier-resin-systems.co.uk/home/ in IE5 you will see 2 orange lines, these should have text and titles in them. Viw them in IE6, FF etc you will see what it is meant to look like. Why is this, is it the overflow:auto; I have stuck on the productbox class? Also the voucher image in IE6 should be a few pixels under the orange bar. Could somone shed some light on this as it is driving me nuts!!! Thanks for any help Similar TutorialsMy CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } Hi, I had this working but somehow it's not working again. The problem I am having is that scroll bars are showing up in my iframe in Firefox, Opera, and Safari, but not IE7 and IE6. Here is the link: http://www.caillouette.com/NewCatsMeow/ I know I need to tighten up my style sheet, but if someone could tell me how to solve this, I would be very happy. Here's the iframe code in the index page: Code: <div id="bodyInfo"> <iframe name="mainBody" width="770" height="602" src ="body.html" scrollbars="NO" border="0"> </iframe> <!-- end #bodyInfo --></div> Hi all, I'm working on the site http://boolarongpress.com.au and have hit a problem. In IE7 if you click into either the title or author search fields in the left hand nav menu the cpu usage maxes out and IE7 hangs. There is no javascript attached to these inputs. The problem seems to be caused by a line in the css, overflow: auto; This is set for the content div so that it scrolls as if it were a frame. If I remove this line from the css the problem dissappears but of course the content div no longer scrolls. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix/work around this issue? Cheers, Peter While working on my site, I am testing it in Mozilla Firefox 1.0pr and IE 6. In my code: body, td, iframe, table, div, tr { font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #ffffff; background-color: #666666; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-arrow-color: #666666; scrollbar-base-color: #666666; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #666666; scrollbar-face-color: #666666; scrollbar-highlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-shadow-color: #666666; } a:link { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } select, option, textarea, input { border: #ffffff 1px solid; font-size: 11px; font-variation: normal; font-family: Verdana; background-color: #666666; } I would add "overflow: auto;" right under 'body, td, iframe, table, div, tr {' so that in Mozilla the scrollbars would not show up. However, when I load it in IE, the windows do not scroll at all. Is there a quick-fix for this, or what can I do so it will work properly in both browsers? How do I make the DIV overflow in the below codes? It works in IE but not firefox. <html > <head> <style type="text/css"> html, body { height : 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <table style="height : 100%; width : 100%"> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="height : auto; background-color : red;"> <td> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> <div style="height :auto; overflow-y : scroll"> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> what i'm trying to accomplish is two boxes next to each other inside a div, which i can scroll horizontally to see the two boxes. if you copy the code below it works correctly, only because the width of the parent div is set. Code: <style type="text/css"> #container { overflow:scroll; width:100px; } #parent { overflow:hidden; width:400px; } .box1 { border:1px solid black; float: left; height: 101px; width: 101px; } </style> <div id='container'> <div id='parent'> <div class='box1'></div> <div class='box1'></div> </div> </div> if i change width:900px in the parent div to width:auto then the boxes go underneath one another. That's the problem, the parent div should auto adjust to the width of both boxes. i'd really appreciate solving this. i can't have a fixed width on the parent div it should auto adjust and both boxes should be next to each other. My page looks decent in Firefox but in IE the overflow property doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps you can give me some pointers as to which tags may be messing up the display in Internet Explorer.

How can i let the second DIV overflow over the third DIV without it moving down? Thanks this is the code i'm having problems with: Code: <style type="text/css"> body { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; margin : 0; padding : 0; } /* text */ h1 { font: bold 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height:30px; } /* div classes */ div.row { position:relative; left:10px; width:326px; height:20px; z-index:1; margin-bottom:8px; text-align:right; } div.cell_title, div.cell_content { position:absolute; top:0px; float:left; padding:0px 0px 0px 8px; border:1px solid #E4E4E4; text-align:left; line-height:17px; } div.cell_title { background-color: #E4E4E4; left:0px; width:100px; z-index:2; } div.cell_content { background-color:#FCFCFC; left:100px; width:224px; z-index:3; } /* form elements */ .input { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; background-color: #FCFCFC; height:15px; width:213px; border:0; } .textarea { font: normal 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#666; background-color: #FCFCFC; height:100px; width:213px; border:0; overflow:auto; } </style> <h1>Contact</h1> <form action="?menu=contact" method="post" name="contact"> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="name">name:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><input type="text" class="input" name="name" id="name"/></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="email">email:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><input type="text" class="input" name="email" id="email" /></div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell_title"><label for="message">message:</label></div> <div class="cell_content"><textarea class="textarea" name="message" id="message"></textarea></div> </div> <div class="row"> <input type="image" src="includes/images/btn_add.gif" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </div> </form> My problem is that my "row" div's overlay if their content is larger. Because of that i cannot see the send button from my form (the textarea height is bigger that the height of the "row" div - i need the layer to expland according to the content, but i don't want it to overlay on what is after it!). I hope that you understood my problem and could help my with it. Thanks in advance! I currently have a drop down menu on a sidebar that when you roll over the buttons(each its own list item) a drop down menu appears over top of the buttons underneath the one your mouse is on. This works fine in Firefox of course but in IE the drop down menu goes underneath the other buttons. Any suggestions how to fix this? I have an annoying problem that causes my css boxes to overflow in IE. You can see the problem here URL The CSS for these boxes is as follows Code: .rbroundbox { background: url(images/postbackground.gif) repeat; } .rbtop div { background: url(images/topleft.gif) no-repeat top left; } .rbtop { background: url(images/topright.gif) no-repeat top right; } .rbbot div { background: url(images/bottomleft.gif) no-repeat bottom left; } .rbbot { background: url(images/bottomright.gif) no-repeat bottom right; } /* height and width stuff, width not really nessisary. */ .rbtop div, .rbtop, .rbbot div, .rbbot { width: 100%; height: 7px; font-size: 1px; } .rbcontent { margin: 0 7px; } .rbroundbox { width: 60%; margin: 1em auto; } The HTML is Code: <div class="rbroundbox"> <div class="rbtop"><div></div></div> <div class="rbcontent"> <b>[INSERT TITLE]</b> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"> [INSERT NEWS] </td> </tr> </table> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Posted by <a href="mailto:[INSERT EMAIL]">[INSERT REALNAME]</a> at [INSERT DATE]</font></p> </div><!-- /rbcontent --> <div class="rbbot"><div></div></div> </div><!-- /rbroundbox --> What is causing the overflow in IE? it doesnt show up in any other browser I know of. Please look at the site I'm designing for my friend he http://www.vpntunnel.net/newsite/ http://www.vpntunnel.net/newsite/css/general.css Notice how #content is running over the specified width, well outside the #container, even. This is noticeable with h1 on the homepage and on the FAQ page. I'm not quite sure what's causing it. Also, if someone could help me center the page in IE, that'd be great. I'd rather not use text-align: center; in the body. Hi, I am trying to display an image (in its own div) which extends past the height of the container div it is in. The problem is that in FF it chops off the piece of the image (as overflow is hidden??) that extends below the container div, it doesn't in any version of IE. However, if I don't set overflow to hidden, in IE6, the portion of the image that extends also makes the container divs background color display below the height I have set for it... Hope you get what I mean Anyway, here is the code Code: <div id="banner-container"> <div id="banner"> <div id="banner-txt"> <img src="images/banner-txt.png" /> <p> Lorem ipsum...</p> </div><!-- banner txt --> <div id="banner-img"> <img src="images/banner-img1.png" alt="the image" /> </div><!-- banner img --> </div><!--banner--> </div><!-- banner container --> And the css Code: #banner-container{width:100%; height:314px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background-color:#212582; overflow:hidden;} #banner{width:920px; height:314px; margin:0 auto; padding:0; background-image:url(../images/banner-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; } #banner-txt{width:519px; height:280px; float:left;} #banner-img{width:340px; height:314px; position:relative; padding-top:10px; float:right;} Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to stop chopping off the end of the image in FF?? Thanks... EDIT: Some screens... Firefox Internet Explorer I have a site that fits all resolutions except the dreaded 800X600. I actually want to page to overflow with a horizontal scrollbar but I've had some problems getting there. Is there a simple way to accomplish this with a fluid design?? Thanks Hello, I have a basic test page with 3 boxes ( http://www.pages4u.net/css/overflow.html ). Firefox renders my page as I want but IE makes it very different way. How can I correct the IE version? Thanks in advance! Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the 'overflow' property in Internet Explorer6. I am working on an image slide show.The images are displayed in two divs whose CSS is as follows: #imageBox { margin: auto; width: 450px; border: 1px #000 solid; overflow: hidden; height:90px; z-index:500;} #imageBoxInside { width: 10000px; height:90px;float:left;overflow:hidden; z-index:200; } #imageBox img { float: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #imageBox br { clear: both; } In mozilla firefox it is working perfectly. But in IE6 the 'overflow' property doesn't work . Please help. Hi, I'm trying to do a design with: http://xlibrisclients.co.uk/flybynite/new/V1.htm in mind. I want the content to have a scrollbar if content goes off the page... basically want to achieve the look and feel of a frame base site such as: http://www.flybynite.co.uk/website/ but only using CSS and tables.
