CSS - List Item Problems Between Ff And Ie
Hi all, and thanks for reading.
The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6. CSS: Code: #menu {float:left; width:157px; background-color:#FFFFFF;} #menu IMG {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;} #menu UL {list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#FFFFFF;} #menu UL LI {margin:0; padding:0;} HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> ... <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="../balloons/" title="Balloons"><img src="../images/menu-balloons.gif" alt="Balloons" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../centerpieces/" title="Centerpieces"><img src="../images/menu-centerpieces.gif" alt="Centerpieces" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../supplies/" title="Supplies"><img src="../images/menu-supplies.gif" alt="Suppliers" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../contact/" title="Contact Us"><img src="../images/menu-contact.gif" alt="Contact Us" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../" title="Home"><img src="../images/menu-home.gif" alt="Home" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> </ul> </div> Thanks in advance. -colin Similar TutorialsHi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer { width: 200px; margin-top:150px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist { width:200px; clear:left; text-align:left; margin-left:0; padding-left:0; list-style:none; font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; line-height: 14px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li { margin-left:0; padding: 0px; display: block; list-style:none; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li.last { border-right: 0; background:none; } a.linkText { padding: 10px; display: block; color : #444444; font-family : arial; font-size : 11px; font-weight : bold; text-decoration : none; height:25px; } a.linkText:link { color : Aqua; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:visited { color : Maroon; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:hover { color : Blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item One</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item two</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code: #cellid { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; } #cellid ul { margin: 10px 0 0 20px; padding: 0 0; } #cellid li { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif); } The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian I've been struggling with this a bit. I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Please look at the bottom of this page in FF - http://certified.tmhdesign.com The li elements have a margin-left or the ul a padding left. Can someone help me out? Here is my css ul#hp_offers{ width:600px; margin:0 0 0 10px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; } ul#hp_offers li{ padding:3px 5px 3px 25px; border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; list-style:none; list-style-type:none; margin:0; } li.even{ background: #f1efef url(../images/offer_even_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } li.odd{ background: #e0e0e0 url(../images/offer_odd_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why? www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code: #menu{ width:750px; border:thin solid #000000; } #menu ul{ margin:0; padding:0; width:750px; display:inline; } #menu li{ width:150px; display:inline; border:thin solid #000000; list-style-type:none; background-color:#550210; } #menu a{ width:150px; } If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this.

I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; } But it doesn't change the links text colour. http://midnighttweaker.50megs.com/test.htm Why is the list offset to the right by 40 pixels? I can't see anything in my stylesheet that would cause it. It should be right up against the left side. And why is the left column 245px wide instead of the 205px table column I specified? I know I shouldn't use tables for non-tabular data, but I need the left column to be the same height as the right so the background can continue all the way down, and I couldn't find any CSS to do that. One table shouldn't hurt. Ok, i have this menu with links, but i have a few problems. 1) Don't know why, but i can't center the menu links. There is more space from left to the menu, than from the right to the end of the menu. 2) I'd like to change the properties of each link (using CSS) individually, so i can resize each one like i want. I've done it, but it nly worked in IE. here's the site PS: I still haven't converted pictures to .gif, so it takes a little bit to load all pictures (3). I am creating a website for a game (unnamed so far) the template is located at syckgamingleague(dot)com in Firefox this site looks perfect works extremely well. In Opera the navigation doesn't seem to be working like I want it. In IE it seems as if everything that should be vertically aligned to the middle doesn't appear to do that. I am just looking for a fix for the Opera navigation error currently but if you know the cause of the IE problems and would like to help that would be great. The website is located at the URI: syckgamingleague(dot)com I will include images for the display of each of the browsers mentioned above. Firefox at the above link in root folder Firefox_Polkamon.jpg Opera at the above link in root folder Opera_Polkamon.jpg IE at the above link in root folder InternetExplorer_Polkamon.jpg Sorry for no links but this forum would not allow it. Name for game isn't Polkamon it is more of a codename than anything currently game isn't named. its not so much of a problem because i have "thought" of a remedy (at the end of the post) but i was looking for perhaps a more css'esque solution? if you go here http://www.zahra-zahra.com/fullpage.html you will see menus in the middle somewhere and you will see when the lis go on the second line they are mismatched.. is there a way to match them up precisely? now the solution which i was thinking was is that to have four arrays and then put them in four divs and then place them side by side. btw: the menu will be stored in database On this page: http://www.prioritypie.f2s.com/tremaer/_location/location.htm I have a rollover menu (courtesy of Bon Rouge's tutorial) that nicely runs in a line when viewed in FF, but in IE it reverts to a vertical list. Is there a way to stop this? And why doesn't the background for the containing div show up in FF when it does in IE? I had hoped a glass of red wine would help.... Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to CSS. I am developing a simple webpage that has a horizontal unordered list serving as a navigation bar. Firefox adds what looks like about 20px of extra space above and below the entire list while internet explorer shows it aligned top left. Eventually I would like to center the unordered list top and bottom, but I can't seem to get any alignment formatting to work at all. Here is the problem code: Code: <div id="navbox"> <ul id="navbar"> <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li> <li><a href="http://showrooms.canadatrader.com/7010/7622">INVENTORY</a></li> <li><a href="formapp.html">APPLY NOW</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:rjtria@gmail.com">EMAIL ME</a></li> </ul> </div> And the corresponding CSS: Code: #navbox { background-color: #B1C5D0; height: 50px; width: 760px; overflow: visible; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #333; border-right-color: #333; border-bottom-color: #333; border-left-color: #333; color: #036; font-weight: bold; font-size: 130%; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: normal; } #navbar li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: dotted; border-right-style: dotted; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-left-style: dotted; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } I know it's not much.. but it's making me crazy. I have tried zeroing out all padding / margins to no avail... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Celeste |
