CSS - Pixel Indentation Problem

Hello, I am trying to create a 1 pixel width <tr width="1" style="width: 1px;"><td rowspan="8" width="1" style="width: 1px;"> </td></tr>
and a 1 pixel height <tr height="1" style="height: 1px;"><td colspan="8" height="1" style="height: 1px;"> </td></tr>

But the following methods are not working, instead it is making them bigger than expected. How can I accomplish this?? Is there some sort of clear method in CSS that will clear the height and width and make sure to set it to 1 pixel??

Thanks

I've made this layout:
http://superq.dk/skjoldborg

It works fine in Firefox, but IE somehow has moved the content one pixel to the left.
This shows to the right at the menu, where there is one pixel whitespace, and at the end of the text, to the right, the white content box moves one pixel out in the shadows.
Can someone give me an explanation on this? I've checked it all over, sizes on divs and so one, and I've come to the conclusion that IE has moved the content one pixel to the left, but why?

OK, so I know what the problem is, but I can't figure out how to fix it. This is what I'm doing. I've got a floated div (left) and another div sitting to it's right. I'm using Nifty Corners to get that nice rounded finish (without using four images). But, here's the problem, the JavaScript is designed (I guess) to only cap the size of the div defined in the css file, so when IE 6.0 generously adds an extra 3px, what am I supposed to do?

Ask Google.

So, I found the Holly Hack at Position Is Everything but haven't been able to implement it correctly.

I've been tinkering with this new layout for about a fortnight, but with no luck. I seek enlightenment, if there is anyone with the wisdom . . . ?

Files included a
another 1 = html
nifty = JScript
all = css

This page design works in:
Mac - Safari 2.0.1, Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.0.7
Win - Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.51

The JavaScript doesn't work at all in Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac, but degrades the way I think it should.

And back to Windows, IE 6.0, the "3px jog" is the only problem. All help appreciated.

I know this should probably be turend into pure css but for now I'm stuck with tables

i have the following table structure
Code:

<table class="subitemtable">
<tr>
	<td class="subItem">
		<a href="blah">
			blah
		</a>
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="subItemOn">
		<a href="blah">
			blah
		</a>
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="subItem">
		<a href="blah">
			blah
		</a>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

using the following css styles
Code:

.subItemTable{
	width:100%;
	border-collapse: collapse;	
	margin:0px;
	padding:0px;

}
.subItem{
	margin:0px;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #0E59AE;
	border-right: 1px solid #0E59AE;
	background-color:#e8e8e8;
	padding: 3px 0px 3px 20px;
	width:100%;
}

.subItem a{
	font-size: 9.5pt;
	color: #666666;
}
.subItem a:link,.subItem a:visited{
	text-decoration:none;
}
.subItem a:hover{
	text-decoration:underline;
}

.subItemOn{
	margin:0px;
	border-right: 1px solid #fff;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #0E59AE;
	background-color:#ffffff;
	padding: 3px 0px 3px 20px;
	width:100%;
}

.subItemOn a{
	font-size: 9.5pt;
	color: #666666;

}
.subItemOn a:link,.subItemOn a:visited{
	text-decoration:none;
	
}
.subItemOn a:hover{
	text-decoration:underline;
}

my problem is after the first cell the bottom right most pixel of the border is just missing. This happens in firefox and IE ..The attached picture should show what I'm talking about.

Thanks for your help

Hey--

Working on a new site, I've got 99.9% of it finished and working, but a menu is displaying one pixel higher in Safari (Mac and PC) than any other browser.

www.inkyfever.com/customer/animotion/

The menu is in the orange bar at the top. It's created with an unordered list. You can view source to check the code.

HELP!

EDIT: Okay, I've got it to mostly work by changing some padding, but hovering over any other orange links, the hover color doesn't quite fill the space vertially. ONE pixel short at the bottom. Ideas?

The site http://glish.com/css/7.asp is showing me how to make tabls in css. I get it but their example which has a workour I don't get doesn;t work either.... look at the top right corner.

I'm trying to learn but how can you with erroneous code?

The code is all exposed on their page in the scroll down bit down the page a bit.

Hi,
I'm trying to do a two column layout which spans across the whole screen. This would be easy if I was just using percentages because I could just go:

Left: width:20%;
Right: width:80%;

But I need the left bar to be a fixed width and the right bar to span the rest of the screen.

There might be something really simple here that I'm overlooking but at the minute I can't think of how I would do it...

Hi there,

I am back with another browser issue with css. When I set the position from the top on the center logo it shows correctly at top: 15px in IE but not in Navigator. To make it ok in Navigator I have to put it at 17px and then its off in IE.
I would love some help as i have a similar problem occuring in another site which I have also been trying to solve.

Hello,

Code:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td class="norightborder">
Two cells,
</td>
<td class="noleftborder">
but no borders between them.
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Code:

.noleftborder {
	border-left-style: none;	
}
.norightborder {
	border-right-style: none;	
}

I notice a pixel gap between the two cells and it's annoying me.

How do I get rid of it?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm pretty anal about the layouts I make.. especially when it comes to my own site. This is the first time I have really attempted designing to validate within the strict doctype. The only thing is the layout I am trying to get to work requires A LOT of layers, and a lot of them need to line up with eachother. I am running in to problems because some layers are pushed down further than others on the page. The difference is noticeable (10 or 15 pixels) when I change from Firefox to Explorer. Is there anyway around this, am I missing something here? My page is uploaded at http://www.studioflow.net/display.html
and my css file is here http://www.studioflow.net/sfglobal.css
Do I need to just abandon my quest for pixel perfect alignment?

Thanks,

alan

Hey all.

I'm just starting out in web design. To make things even more complicated, I'm using CSS for my first ever website.

So I'm building this website from scratch, using online tutorials and such. But I'm running into a problem. On a PC, everything displays perfectly in IE and Firefox. But on a Mac, the nav bar is stretched with dead space after the last list item. This is the same in Safari, Firefox, and IE for Mac.

Would you guys give it a look and maybe help me around the issue? What I'd like is no dead space after the last list item on any computer, (if you're looking on a PC, it appears correct) and I want a fixed width.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Really strange problem with IE (as usual). I've done an English site with a typical left and main content structure, as you can see on:
http://www.ntcjapan.com/index2.php

The English site is left-aligned, and works fine.

Now I'm doing an Arabic version and the site needs to be center aligned. Keeping things really simple, please see the following site:

http://ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/english.html

The HTML:

Code:

<div id="container">

	<div id="left">
		<!-- NAVIGATION -->
		test right section
	</div>

	<div id="main">
		test main section
	</div>

	<div class="spacer_small">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

The CSS:
Code:

	#container { 
		margin: 0 auto;
 		text-align: left;
 		width: 764px;
		background: url(../images/0_bg_center.gif) repeat-y;
    		min-height: 100%;
    		height: auto;
	}

	#main {
		width: 590px;
		padding-top: 115px;
		padding-left: 9px;
		background: url(../../../images/0_logo.gif) no-repeat;
		float: left;
		margin: 0px 0px 0px 1px;
	}


	/* Hack for IE, Reset to 100% height */
	* html #container {
		height: 100%;
	}
	/* End IE Hack */


	#left { 
		width: 158px;
		float: right;
	}

Ok, you can ignore the height stuff because that works on the original English site. The problem is the width/margin on IE. The "left" section is actually now floating right, and is meant to be the navigation.

The "container" section is 100% height and provides those background orange and grey vertical lines which I need.

The "main" section has a margin-left of 1px, because I want it to be right next to the first orange line.

On FIREFOX, this looks fine, you can see the background NTC logo actually touching the orange left line, hence we know it is using the margin-left: 1px correct.

IE however, seems to add a bit of space and it looks as if I specified a margin-left: 2px for IE! Basically, in IE, the logo never 'touches' the orange line.

This causes lots of problems when inserting content and trying to fit the exact width of the container, since IE seems to use one extra pixel than Firefox,and overflows if I try to use the exact width (764px) of the container.

A demonstration of the problem on IE:
http://ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/ieprob.gif

Any help, please??

I searched the forum before posting but didn't find anything. This is a fairly straight-forward problem, but it's one that I can't find a solution to.

The site I'm working on is centered in the window. The body has a 3600x1 pixel background image repeating vertically that is also centered in the window. The layout of the site depends on this background being in the right place.

In every browser I've tested so far, the site layout lines up perfectly with the background image, and all is good. But in Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0 (both on Mac), the centered container div sits one pixel to the right of where it should be. Is this a known bug with Firefox?

I'm including the code for the body tag and the container div, even though a quick glance will show that it's pretty standard stuff:

Code:

body {
font: 12px/1.5 "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #363636;
background: url(body_bg.gif) top center repeat-y white;
text-align: center;
}

#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 720px;
text-align: left;
}

Any help at all would be terrific. Thanks.

Note: I changed the title of this post in the hopes someone will help me.

please delete post...problem resolved.

A margin-top:10px is the equivalent of margin-top:11px on IE8 (compatibility mode). I actually took a screenshot and counted the number of pixels in Photoshop.

This gives me a hell load of frustration because I want to align my comment form's submit button with the bottom of my textarea. For an example look at this (http://www.deliciousdays.com/archives/2009/10/07/stuffed-but-happy/#comments) scroll all the way down.

I dunno how deliciousdays did it but they managed to get the button aligned with the textarea in both Firefox and IE. Anybody can help?
