CSS - Problem With Relative Positioning And Firefox
Hi - I am using HVMENU from dynamicdrive.com. I have set this up to use relative positioning with the menu using the horizontal format.
The code in my html file is: Quote: <div id="MenuPos" style="position:relative; width:750px; height:20px;"><img src="images/redspacer.gif" width="750" height="20" alt=""></div> This all lines up and works correctly using IE6. I have a problem when using firefox. If I set var MenuCentered='center' in the script file the menu is misaligned by about 10 - 20 pixels to the left on a page when there is a scroll bar on the side of the firefox browser. It works ok on short pages that do not have a scroll bar. If I set var MenuCentered='left' in the script file the problem is reversed in regard to the scrollbar. Have I overlooked anything? Is there anything I can do to correct this using CSS? Similar TutorialsI am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it. The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox? You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers. Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem. im creating ajax auto complete text box but my div tag does not appear correctly in IE7 (ok on firefox) appearing behind the textbox IE7 screen shot URL Firefox screen shot URL codes are HTML Code:

please help me to fix this problem thank you chathura Hi All- For some reason when I use a bunch of DIV tags to position elements on my page, the page keeps getting longer and longer with white space. Does anyone know what will remedy this extra whitespace? Thanks, infinity003 I want to set up a table so that error messages appear directly above specific table columns in the form of a div tag with a red background and the same width as the column. To do this I've added a div tag inside the <th> element of the table, with the display property set to 'none'. Code: <th> <nobr>Header Content</nobr> <div id="error_message">Error Message</div> </th> When I want to display an error message above the table I use the following styles on the div tag Code:
background-color: #ffcccc;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: -100px;
z-index: 1;
display: block;
It displays the div tag above the header like I want, but it still stretches the height of the <th> element as if it was still contained inside of it. How do I do this without stretching the cell height? Why does GOOD VERSION, below, work perfectly, but the BAD VERSION fails (all browsers)? The only difference is the order of TOPIMAGE and BOTTOMIMAGE in the 2nd IMAGEBUTTON. How can I adjust my CSS so both versions work? GOOD VERSION Code: <style>
a.IMAGEBUTTON img.TOPIMAGE { z-index:1; position:absolute; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON:hover img.TOPIMAGE { filter:alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity:0.0; -khtml-opacity: 0.0; opacity: 0.0; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON img {width:150px; }
</style>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />
</a>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />

BAD VERSION Code: <style>
a.IMAGEBUTTON img.TOPIMAGE { z-index:1; position:absolute; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON:hover img.TOPIMAGE { filter:alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity:0.0; -khtml-opacity: 0.0; opacity: 0.0; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON img {width:150px; }
</style>

THANKS Hi, I have centered a table horizontally and vertically. To do this I put a table inside a table. so i don't want to use absolute positioning, as the position would change if the window size changes... My problem, with relative positioning, is that I can't figure out how to put my "some text" over an image -which is inside the table cell- in the exact position i want, without "collateral damage"... The collateral damage is that if I put the <div> tag inside the table (see example 1), it will occupy the space and as result the image wll be moved down and layout won't be centered vertically anymore... If I put the <div> tag outside the table (see example 2), as result there will be more occupied space at the top, and the layout isn't centered anymore... Here you can see the code i used for both example 1 and example 2: example 1: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 1</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:50px; top:50px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> example 2: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 2</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:200px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> thx for letting me know... http://www.iusedtoloveher.com/wheelofgod/ I'm trying to move up the right-side box. I'm using Firefox but it's the same in IE7. Good evening ladies and gents, This is my first post so I thank you guys for your help in advance, I usually just do trial and error with CSS untill it works but this one has me puzzled. on my website www/CanadaFinance/net the sidebar isnt aligning the same on IE and Firefox. In Firefox it aligns how I want it but in IE its far too left, the reason is the way <UL> is being treated by each browser. Can anyone teach me how to fish and get this problem fixed? Thanks. Hi, I've been having problems with a design at www.matthewdingley.co.uk/langdale/team.php. On the subpage design, Firefox seems to randomly decide to put scroll bars in instead of pushing the footer to the bottom of the content. This seems to completely random when I press the refresh button (even when absolutely nothing about the code has been changed) although it does seem to be a larger problem with pages with a small amount of content in the left column. There is no problem in Internet Explorer. If anyone knows what the problem might be, their help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matthew Dingley www.matthewdingley.co.uk Hello, If you view my site in IE first: www.tombraiders.net/katie/MyTombRaiderStories.html you'll see there's a mini menu where I have updates on the right hand side. If you view it in Firefox, the menu gets pushed down to the very bottom, under the main content. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks! I'm having problems positioning my content, it looks fine in Firefox, but its not positioning right in IE, you can see it pretty obviously he Http://saint.jacksriver.net The css file is he http://saint.jacksriver.net/wp-content/themes/benevolence/style.css Anyone got any ideas? Hello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look. My jumbled code is as follows: Code:

I am trying to learn CSS Positioning in an effort to move away from table-based layout. I use some pretty complicated layouts and I am a big fan of the "stretch" effect for my site headers. As my first project, I am converting a site that uses a stretch header, and in table layout, used to be divided into 5 columns. I have managed to re-create the header almost as good as the original with just 3 divs, using absolute positioning, z-index, and a background image. Then I used relative positioning to create the div for the main content, and I was planning to do another relative-positioned div for the footer. I feel that I'm very close but could use a little help to get over the hump. I have two main problems: 1. When you resize the window horizontally below about 850px, the images in the header start to overlap. I would like them to "bump" each other and have a scrollbar appear. I've tried to fix this using the min-width property in various divs, and I tried to use a wrapper div, but nothing seemed to work very well. This is something I can live with, but any tips would be appreciated. 2. Relative positioning seems to work fine for the main content div (#middlebox in my .css). However, I did the footer div in the same manner, and it only works in Firefox, not IE. If I could get it to work in both Fx and IE I'd be happy - I don't care about any other browsers. 3. Any other tips and tricks that would make it cleaner or better, etc. would be appreciated. Remember I am a n00b so go slow. Original site (tables): http://www.gpleague.com New test site (css): http://www.gpleague.com/cssp.htm Css file: http://www.gpleague.com/csstest.css In the following code i need *Signup* to align just to the right of *Login*.

First this seems like a common problem but I couldn't find an answer. I did look, maybe I didn't use the right search terms but I did look. So I have always wanted to do this but could never figure out a way to do it. I'd like to have relative positioned divs overlap each other and not push the rest of the layout around. Pretty much the exact same way absolute works, but just position relatively. Code: <div style="width: 500px; height: 500px;"> <div style="position:relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 30px; height: 10px;">at 0</div> <div style="position:relative; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 30px; height: 10px;">at 10</div> </div> The divider seems to add a break rendering absolute positioning useless. How can I fix this so that I can use absolute positioning in more than one div inside the main fixed size container? Thanks Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but I can't get it to work accurately, and I wondered if anyone could give me some help. I would like to position a layer at an absolute position (T:128 L:253) which is no problem, but then I would like that layer to have a relative width from that fixed point, expanding/contracting to whatever size the browser is. I've tried several different things, but can't seem to get this particular setup. If I set the width of the layer to 100%, the layer positions itself correctly on the page, but pushes beyond the right hand side of the browser causing a horizontal scroll. Has anyone done this before? Am I missing something critical? or is this impossible to do with layers/css Thank you! ok, here's what i'm working with: multiple rows of data (divs stacked on top of eachother, we'll call main_container), with 2 columns each. the right hand column has a list of emails (call it sent_details), but it only shows as many as can fit in main_container. the design calls for me to put a "more" link on the bottom right hand corner of sent_details. so, i have to give sent_details a position of relative and the more link an absolute position fixed to the bottom right. in firefox, when i click "more", sent_details will expand, reveling more emails (sent_details was given overflow: hidden). in IE, however, sent_details will expand, however all sent_details below it will remain in their fixed positions, making the expanded div above it overlap. does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? do i need to post code? thanks Hi, I'm using a floated division for my menu; and using relative positioning to move this slightly to the left and up - you can see it here. It works in all browsers I've tried except Konqueror - the positioning simply has no effect . Also: the content of the main division (to the right) becomes completely distorted when scrolling - again: only when using Konqueror . Could this be due to the fact that they are floated divs? The code is valid HTML and CSS. Is Konqueror non-compliant with W3 Standards? Should I bother trying to accommodate it? Anyone have any ideas? |
