CSS - Pixels! Cross Browser Css H Tag Woes...
he
http://www.cycloid.f9.co.uk/basic.gif is my problem he http://www.cycloid.f9.co.uk/basic.htm http://www.cycloid.f9.co.uk/basic.css is the htm/css with the rest of the garbage (forms etc) taken out the browsers shown are IE6,FF1,NS7 and opera (though i cant remember the version, all have been updated in the past month though as this is a new computer!) i know this is nit picking but the heading sizes are different accross the browsers, and some appear to have padding too. the rest of my elements seem to size/margin/stack the same but not the H tags. anyone got any suggestions how to get them to listen to my rules! or could it be a case of rounding errors in each browser's calculations once the font sizes get particularly large? or do i have to <div class='h1'>heading</div> instead!? anyway, i personally am not bothered about things being pixel perfect alas it's not a perfect world and simply getting things to line up how im asked to at work and getting paid at the end of the month is more important to me than doing it all in em's! cyc Similar TutorialsIs there a size difference between css pixels and html width pixels? The question I ask is because I am using the embed code from flickr and vimeo`s width of 220 and the search input bar in css is set to 220px, but when viewed through a browser they have different lengths. Is there a solution for making it the same length? i have a web site that i am redesigning and the redesign is @ http://cometosandiego.com/weekendvisit/index.php it shows up GREAT in firefox screwed in opera and COMPLETLY out of wack in IE 6 and 7 what to do???? thanks Hi; I don't mind writing straight CSS with a text editor; my big problem is cross-browser compatibility -- getting all those tweaks for everything you do to include ie 5, 6 & 7 (I guess we can drop 5 by now). To that end, I don't object to using an IDE or other tool to develop cross browser CSS. So my question is, what is/are the best resources available to handle the cross-browser issues; from broken box model, etc. ** I know about ie7-js from Dean Edwards, but I don't know how well that works. ** I know about some CSS IDE's like Aptana & Stylizer; but again I don't really know how well they handle these issues. ** And I would like to hope there are some sites out there with total references that tells you everything you need to know about cross browser CSS, though all I've found so far are piecemeal articles; how to handle this or that aspect. So in short, I don't expect one magic bullet (though that would be nice), but I'm looking for pointers to and evaluations of various resources that could be maybe used together to make this problem a little easier. Thanks I am having problem making this cross browser friendly Code:

Anyone have any recommendations on a good program to check cross browser stuff. I am tired of having to open every browser up to check my sites. Also, anyone know any good links for getting better at coding for cross browser CSS? Thanks! Hi all, I'm relatively new to pure CSS (as opposed to hacking tables together) and I'm experiencing a cross-browser inconsistency that I'm hoping I can get help with. I've created a table using DIVS as follows (I've given just one line as an example): Code: <div id='dashed_box'> <div class='divleft'>Company Name:</div><div class='divright'><input type='text' name='company_name' size='32' class='boxes'></div> <div class='spacer'> </div> </div> And the CSS is this: Code: #dashed_box
{
border: 1px dashed #333333;
margin:5 auto;
padding:5 auto;
width: 600px;
}
.divleft {
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px;
float: left;
text-align: right;
color: #000;
width: 49%;
}
.divright {
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10px;
float: right;
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
width: 49%;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
..In IE7 the box is laid out perfectly, as I wanted it to: ..but in FireFox 5.0, it is laid out as follows, which I don't want: Can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong? Or might it be a case of defining HTTP_USER_AGENT and specifying CSS depending on browser? All help appreciated. Woolyg. Im not a newbie to CSS but I am still a bit new to hand coding and div positioning. heres the link - http://members.cox.net/tekjock/test/ the body section I want it to be bottom 5px Left 5px right 5px I can get it to look good in firefox but IE it looks like crap. I have tried the above and it does not work. Any suggestions Thanks Ok, so I've having some problems getting a webpage I'm designing looking good (I'm better at the "behind the scenes" coding, not so much the visual part). Anyway, I'm having some problems in Firefox and even more in IE, so here goes. In Firefox I want it to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, I tried adding "min-height:100%" to the container's styles, but that doesn't work. Can I not use a percent for the min-height? If I directly declare the height to be 100%, then the body can expand outside of the container rather than the container expanding with it. I also want to make sure that the body is always completely filling the container. The page in question is he http://www.magicsoftinc.com/michigans_edition/ My styles are below and you can view the page source or use Firebug to see the elements I'm talking about Code: a:link {

Hi All Can anyone please tell me where am I going wrong in code below it fairly straight forward, Style switcher works fine. The problem is When I'm using Firefox background image doesn't show but there no problem in IE. why???? Thanks Zed Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="styleSheetSwitcher.js"></script> </head> <body><center> <div id="main">Hello <div id="centerbox">world</div> </div></center></body> </html> css code Code: #main {

Okay, my layout is css, and the problem is with my footer, and bottom links. In mozilla, they look the way i want them to, but for IE, they are positioned too low, and the bottom links are unreadable. Take a look - www.funny-guys.com The Code: #bottomlinks { margin:0px 0px 20px 0px; padding:0px; font-size:10px; color:#999999; text-align:center; div#footer { margin: 0px 0px 12px 0px; font-size:60%; text-align:center; padding:0; } Thanks This template works perfectly in firefox (as I want it) but the background-images won't show and the margin/padding shows wrong. When I validate the CSS in firefox, it goes through, but when I do it in IE, it tells me that the id's are suppose to be used for block elements. I've done a search and read up on this over at w3schools but it was fruitless. I would like for it too look in IE the way it does in FF. I think it has something to do with the header or some part of the id's, because that feels a bit odd coding from my part. Please excuse the poorly formatted CSS, as the first part of it was made online where you had to use space to format it.

Best Regards, Moridin Hi, I have a template that works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but doesn't work well in all the other browsers. Here is the template: http://www.gmaptools.com/redemo/format.html (The scrollbar located on the right of the page doesn't contain to 100% height in the other browsers) The entire page must stay at 100% height and 100% width, and work in the other browsers the same way it works in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know why it isn't working in the other browsers? I need it to work in: 1. Internet Explorer (Windows) 2. FireFox (Windows & Mac) 3. Opera (Windows) 4. Safari (Mac) I really appreciate any assistance you can give me. Thanks in advance, Okay, I'm about 6 steps into an effort to redo a section of my site... And while I swear I started out using a DIV/CSS based layout that worked in ALL browsers suddenly that is no longer the case. What I'm trying for is a navigation bar that stays fixed to the left... to the right of it are esentially 4 stacked areas: 1) the top header should stay glued to the top. 2) a middle content area that should flex reletive to the things around it 3) the second-from the bottom thing stays glued to the bottom, but has a bottom margin to place it above the footer. 4) the bottom footer should stay glued to the bottom. It works in all of my Mac browsers (Safari, Firefox, IE) as well as Firefox for windows. But IE 6.x for Windows insists on displaying all of the right-side elements way down the page... below the end of the left navigation. I simply can not force it to float/wrap to the right. Here is what I've got: http://digipix.jeffntom.com/TEMPLATE_UI-5.php Ignore the whiz-bang JavaScript stuff displaying the images, etc... and help me figure out what's up with my DIV/CSS? Here is the Div structu html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="leftnav"> ...leftnav stuff... </div> <div id="rightbody"> <div id="header"> 1) Right-Top: ...header area... </div> <div id="content"> 2) Right-Middle: ...large image area... </div> <div id="thumbnails"> 3) Right-Lower: ....image thumbnail area... </div> <div id="footer"> 4) Right-Bottom: ...footer area... </div> </div> <div id="leftnav"> Here is the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code #leftnav { margin: 0; padding: 0; position: fixed; top:0px; width: 200px; bottom: 1px; // this locks the div to the browser bottom (minus 1px) float: left; background:#cccccc; valign: bottom; } /* this is a container that holds everything except the left navitation */ #rightbody { /* width: 100%; */ } #header { position: fixed; top: 0px; margin-left: 212px; margin-right: 0px; background: #ffffff; } #content { margin-top: 60px; margin-left: 212px; margin-right: 0px; background: #ffffff; } #thumbnails { position: fixed; bottom: 51px; margin-left: 210px; margin-right: 10px; background: #ffffff; } #footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0px; margin-left: 200px; margin-right: 10px; background: #ffffff; }
What do you use for Cross Browser Testing? I just came across BrowserCam ($25 per year) at fundable.org. Do you recommend it? thank you. Dr. Mk. I have the following site: www.artsenvacature.nl I've heard the site doesn't look nice on MAC OS (I've got a PC) and some tiny details fail on FireFox. It only looks perfect in IE 6.0. Is anybody interested in making the CSS compatible? I'm very well willing to pay for it. Hi I have created a site which looks good in internet explorer. But being a bit of a newb i never thot to check it in other browsers till now, and it just doesn't take my layout at all in opera or firefox is there anything i can do to get around this? cheers boyindie I know there are a lot of articles lying around about this problem, but im having trouble with css layout for a site im working on, in IE6.0 the site displays as it should do. in Opera 7.23 + 7.11 the site displays with the main text sitting on the logo for the page, in firefox it displays as it does in opera. I am using includes for the full page with no html in the index.php page, i have tried this without includes bur get the same problems as before. the site addy is: http://www.kptspanishproperties.org.uk any help wpuld be great, also im not using tables just using css for all the layout needed I'm designing a site with a combination of css and tables and I've run into some issues w/IE. I've got some content in a nested table <table id="content"> <tr> <td> Content... </> </> </table> and in my style sheet i have #content{ padding-left:20px; ... } Firefox recognizes this property just fine and displays the table slightly indented, but IE seems to completely miss it. I have figured out a few workarounds, but they end up causing more problems and there are also other thigns that IE has been missing.. Does anyone know what might be causing this? ALSO i have a <div id=divider> inside a td w/css props as width:1px and height:100% and background-color:#000000. again, firefox recognizes this and displays a black line that is the height of the td and 1 px wide, but IE displays a little midget line thats like 10px tall instead of the entire height of the cell. wtf? On this site http://www.freewaytransmissions.com I am having issues with the spacing on the navigation. The nav is an ul and I used inline css for spacing the links apart, but as you see in Chrome they are spaced correctly, but in IE they are not aligned correctly. If someone can shed some light I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Tom Hi there, I am reposting this question after removing the extraneous items from the site. Basically, I can get things to line up in either IE or FF, but not both, I have managed to solve this with past sites, but can't seem to figure this one out! Currently I have it set so it is correctly displayed in IE: http://www.kohlrbaby.com/vcc/portfolio/portfolio.htm Please, please help me to figure out how to do fixes for this issue, I have been searching online but can't seem to figure it out and am very frustrated! Thanks so much and here is my CSS: body { margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #999999; text-align: center; } #title{ margin-top:0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; position: relative; float: left; clear: left; } #rightBox { border-right: 2px solid #666666; width:625px; padding: 0px; border-top: 2px solid #666666; border-bottom: 2px solid #666666; border-left: 2px solid #666666; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; background: #ffffff; } .mainPic { margin-top: -475px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 30px; position:relative; float: left; clear: left; z-index: 100; } img.pic{ border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; } PS: i know I don't need to have all my margin positions shown (ie: may eventually become margin: 0px), however I have kept it like this until I figure out what my problems are. |
