CSS - Ie Messing Up Positioning

Hey guys, I know there are some little things that throw off a browser but I can't nail them down on this one. Its pretty early on in the development stage but I want to get things straight before I move forward. Its not letting me put two div's right next to one another Currently the CSS is in the same file as the HTML but I broke it up for easier reading on here. Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Updated code further down

I'm doing a mini site for a community college, and I need some help with getting the page to render correctly in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Actually, the page renders perfectly in IE, but it's God awful in Firefox.

The URL is http://jordanmeeter.com/basketball.html

Do any of you know what's wrong with it?

I started using custom borders after seeing ALA's article on custom borders, but I'm running into a problem. If the overall width of the article isn't over 300px, then it doesn't bridge all the way, but I'm not wanting 300px width. Is there any way to eleminate the gap at the bottom. BTW, it's not just an IE thing, it's doing that in FF, and Opera too.

Here's my code:
Code:

div.Article {
  background: 
	url(images/menu/topleft.jpg) 
  top left no-repeat;
  }
div.Article h2 {
  background: 
	url(images/menu/topright.jpg) 
  top right no-repeat;
  font-size:1.3em;
  padding:15px;
  margin:0;
  color: #000;
  }
div.ArticleBody {
  background: 
	url(images/menu/right.jpg) 
  top right repeat-y;
  margin:0;
  margin-top:-2em;
  padding:15px;
  }
div.ArticleFooter {
  background: 
	url(images/menu/bottomleft.jpg) 
  bottom left no-repeat;
  }
div.ArticleFooter p {
  background: 
	url(images/menu/bottomright.jpg) 
  bottom right no-repeat;
  display:block;
  padding:15px;
  margin:-2em 0 0 0;
  }

HTML too:
Code:

<div class="Article" style="width: 210;">
  <h2><b>Menu</b></h2>
<div align="center">
  <div class="ArticleBody">
    <p>Text</p>
</div>
<div class="ArticleFooter">
  	<p style="color: #000;">
    A paragraph containing author information
    </p> 

    </div>
    </div>
	</div>

I'm having a problem getting a background image to show properly in Internet explorer.. It's hard to explain, but if you go to my page... http://www.55yardline.com you'll see what I'm talking about.

Works find in every browser I tested with except Internet Explorer. If you look at the background image of the player, and than scroll up and down a bit, the image gets all messed up.

Is there any way to fix it?

Hi,

I'm using a not-yet-fully-supported piece of code to get rounded corner elements on my site. To ensure the most universal support, I am actually using three properties; one for Mozilla browsers, one for Webkit Browsers and the non-specified property for the final CSS3 spec. So:

Code:

-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;

I've also had to install a JavaScript library (CurvyCorners) that adds this functionality to IE, which seems to work fine.

On two of my divs have vertical scrolling, as well. So I've used the following:

Code:

 overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;

This works just fine in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera (though the rounded corners do not show in Opera) -- But in IE8, for some reason, the scroll bar will scroll the entire div (including the background, which is usually fixed) rather than just the content. I have figured out a fix for this, which is to remove the webkit border radius property... which removes my rounded corners from not only IE, but obviously Chrome and Safari as well.

My question is: is there any way to make these two features reconcile their differences and work together?

The site is at www.FinchHouseRecords.com
and the style sheet can be found at www.finchhouserecords.com/style.css

Thanks for your help!

PS - I ran the validation tools... passed the XHTML, and the only issues on the CSS are related to the rounded-corner properties not being recognized as CSS2.1, but they still all work in the other browsers.

I have a form that looks similar to this:

Code:

<div id="form">
     <div class="title">Fill out this form:</div>
     <div class="main">
          <div class="item bg1">
               Enter your name:
               <div class="field">
                    <input type="text" />
               </div>
          </div>
          <div class="item bg2">
               Enter your email address:
               <div class="field">
                    <input type="text" />
               </div>
          </div>
     </div>
</div>

now, when i insert an image in the item div, there is an overflow problem which i fix with overflow: auto in the item class. now, when a user is tabbing through the form, it will select the div with the overflow: auto in it.

any suggestions?

Hello all,

I am trying to make a horizontal nav bar using a list. Everything was going good until I tried to add an image (essential a line) to seperate each <li>. When I did this, the height of the nav bar expanded and it moved the entire list down about 15 pixels or so. I am attaching an image before I added the image and after I added the image to show.

Here is my css code for before I add the image:
PHP Code:
#navbar {
    height:37px; 
    line-height:33px;
    padding: 2px 0 0 10px;
    vertical-align:top;
    background: url(images/linkbarbg1.png) repeat-x;
    font-family: Tahoma, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    color: #FFFFFF;

}

#navbar ul {
    vertical-align:top;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    border: 0px solid #000000;
}

#navbar ul li {
    display: inline;

}

#navbar ul li a {
    display: inline;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-bottom: 4px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    color:#FFFFFF;

}

#navbar ul li a:hover
{
height: 31px;
background:url(images/linkbarbg1hover.png) repeat-x top left;
background-color: #FF3300;
} 





And HTML:
PHP Code:
<div id="main">
 <div class="leftshadow">
  <div class="rightshadow">
   <div id="header"><img src="images/logo1.png" /></div>
   <div id="navbar">
    <ul>
     <li><a href="#">Milk</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li>
    </ul>
   </div>
  </div>
</div> 





And here is what it looks like:


My CSS Code is the same for after, here is my HTML code for after:
PHP Code:
<div id="main">
 <div class="leftshadow">
  <div class="rightshadow">
   <div id="header"><img src="images/logo1.png" /></div>
   <div id="navbar">
    <ul>
     <li><a href="#">Milk</a></li>
     <li><img src="images/linkbarseperator1.png" /></li>
     <li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li>
     <li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li>
    </ul>
   </div>
  </div>
</div> 





and here is what is looks like:


Is there a way to fix this?

UPDATE
I have noticed the same thing happens even when it is not a list. Therefore, it must be due to some other factor...does anyone have any ideas?

I have problem with footer DIV in this layout (the order of DIV's in code after <body> should be - content, left, right, right2, header, footer - positioned centraly with fixed values):

It needs to be sticked to fit after content of 4 column DIV's like it is in example.

Content from above 4 column div's need to push footer DIV below (after them)!

Foooter need to follow right after end of content from those div's (regular behaviour of next table row below any of those 4 columns).

Current issue like it is in this layout happens that if you add more data f.i. in content area (outside one screen), it will go trough footer...

So in your resolution footer can be also moved in code after rightpane2 DIV, after end of wrapper. Pls help. Thx!

I've created a site with a static background.gif "body" element, then a container (div) where I'm putting my stuff. I want the container to roll up and down against the nice static background in the body margins.(there is an example of what I'm trying to do at CSS garden http://www.csszengarden.com - check out Gothica #027)The problem is that when I use absolute positioning for the elements - the container ignores the content and doesn't size properly. But when I use relative positioning, I can make everything work out OK - except it generates tons of extra space that gets dumped at the bottom of the pages. So my question is - does anyone know how to get rid of the space?

BTIA
ok

G'day all,

I am hoping some here can help me with a problem I am having with positioning.

I have a content div with dynamically generated text, next I have a side-bar div that i'd ideally like to centre vertically but this seems to be bad practice so my other thought, if possible would be to have the side-bar position itself relative, x position from top with the dynamic text to wrap around the side-bar div.

What I have currently is:
Code:

<div id="main-content">
  <div class="side-bar">
    <div class="side-bar_header">Content Header</div>
    <div class="side-bar_content">
      <ul>
        <li>Side-bar info</li>
      </ul></div>
  </div>
{dynamic_content_tag}
</div>

Code:

#main-content {
	height: auto;
	width: 630px;
}
.side-bar {
	background-color: #CCC;
	float: left;
	width: 180px;
	position: relative;
	top: 50%;
	margin-right: 10px;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.side-bar_header {
	background-color: #666;
	text-align: center;
	padding: 5px;
}
.side-bar_content {
	padding-left: 5px;
}

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is my CSS Code:

.container {
	margin-top: 0;
	width: 100%;
	\width: 100%;
	w\idth: 100%;
	border: 1px solid gray;
	
		}

.banner {
	background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225);
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
	position: relative;
		}

.content {
	margin-left: 200px;
	background-color: gray;
	height: 100%;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
	position: relative;
	}

.sidebar-a {
	float: left;
	width: 200px;
	\width: 200px;
	w\idth: 200px;
	background-color: rgb(235, 235, 235);
	height: 100%;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
	position: relative;
		}

.footer {
	clear: both;
	padding: 0;
	margin-top: 0;
	background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225);
		}

And it outputs...this . I was wondering how I get rid of the white spaces around the banner.

Thanks.

I have a table with 680px in width & trying to fit my img into the table. I'v tested it both in 1024x768 & 1280x1024. But it just doesn work. When i position it to match my 1024x768, it'll look bad at 1280x1024..

here is my positioning code :
img.one{ position:absolute; top:325px; left:550px; }

why is that so...

Hi bit of a newbie but confused by following code;

The images all display ok and the rounded gif work ok but I get a gap between the divs (highlighted below). Is it margins/paddings?

Pulling hair out!

Thanks,

Bill.

.child { width: 200px;
background-color:green;
background-image: url(unt.bmp) ;
}
.parent {margin: 0; padding: 0}
.bl1 {background: url(_round_bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat ;background-color: blue;width: 200px }

.br1 {background: url(_round_br.gif) bottom right no-repeat;}

.tl1 {background: url(_round_tl.gif) top left no-repeat;}

.tr1 {background: url(_round_tr.gif) top right no-repeat;}



</style>

</head>



<body>

<div class="parent">

<div class="child">
<div class="tl1">
<div class="tr1">
<h2>Hello </h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
/* When displayed in browser the above is separated from the following by a gap of around 20 odd px */
<div class="bl1">
<div class="br1">
<h2>Hello</h2>
</div>
</div>

</div>

I'm using a JS/CSS calender script found at http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/. It works great except for one thing.. it wont position correctly in IE (6 & 7).

I have a form with 20 text inputs strait down a page. As per instruction i place the following code just below my desired text input, say at tab index 12.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
Calendar.setup({
inputField     :    "this_fieled_name",   // id of the input field
ifFormat       :    "%Y-%m-%d",       // format of the input field
showsTime      :    true,
timeFormat     :    "24"
});
</script>

When the page and script run, in Firefox its perfect, but in IE, the calender places almost 200px high than desired near tab index 6.

My question is, how do i get IE to position as FF does?

Here are i think the two most important files that may need affecting. Both are stock from download.
http://www.empiresolutions.net/demo/calendar-setup.js
http://www.empiresolutions.net/demo/theme.css

Thanks much.
