CSS - Is It The Browser Or Am I Wrong?
Hello,
I'm confused about how exactly to name classes in a specific situation. I'm getting unexpected results, and I'm not sure if it's browser support or my code. Does .classy a { something: something; } describe all anchors nested in an element with the class "classy"? Can I do that even? Or is it the same as .classy, a { something: something; } To describe two things that both have the same styles. Do I need comma's or is .classy .classless { something: something; } the same thing as .classy, .classless { something: something; } Thanks Similar TutorialsI've tried to insert a horizontal drop down CSS menu in my layout. However, the menu bar displays about 10 pixels lower in Firefox than it does in IE. <a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">Link</a> I checked the margins, padding but can not seem to find a way to get the menu to display at the same position in both browsers. Any guidance is very appreciated. thanks. My first post.... ok... First I would like to say THANK YOU to anyone who has time to bestow some knowledge to me on what I am sure is a highly noob-esqe situation. I would also like to say that I have thoroughly search this and other forums for my issue, unfortunately I dont think I understand CSS or any web design enough to comprehend the solutions given. I think this may require someone with the knowledge I lack to come down to my level... if you can bend that low.. and walk me thru layman term-style. Again thanks in advance for anytime spent helping out. That being said I was recently trying to jazz up my website that is hosted by a certain music community. I do a decent amount of business thru this site so I wanted to step up the interface a little and get away from using the standard page setup they give you. They do offer the option to edit CSS to construct your own for a little more customization. I jumped in, and after a few days of struggling, I got it looking how I wanted it. I was excited until I realized it looked different on almost every computer i visited the site on. My Background is fine, but the links to paypal and other content is all over the place(e.g. song player, twitter link, buttons) I have tweaked and tweaked, but have not been able to remedy this apparently common problem due to my lack of knowledge and experience. My only hope is to post the coding here and have a Smart Guy/Girl guide me in the right direction. I hope Im not asking too much guys... here goes (I know I can post my url here, how can I redirect you guys to veiw my site??) /********* SoundClick CSS Template (based on custom version Mon, Sep 28 2009) ***********/ Quote: /* general */ body {background: url((MyBGJPEGforbackground)); margin:0px;} body,div,tr,td,select,textarea,input,option {font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px;} a, a:link, a:visited {color:white; text-decoration:none;} a:hover {color:#ff0000; text-decoration:underline;} .pageFooter {clear:both; color:gray; padding:1px 0px 50px 20px;} .infoBox {width:650px; margin:50px auto; background:white; color:black; border:silver solid 1px; padding:30px; font-size:14px;} /* hardly used, its for error messages to user */ .infoBox .quotes {margin:20px; border:#4b4b4b dashed 1px; font-style:italic; padding:10px; background:;} /* main containers */ .mainTable {background: url((MainTableBGPicWentHere)) ; color:#999999; width:750px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center;} .mainContent {background:url(/images/siteNav/transbgblocks/black/bg_0.png); color:#999999; width:725px; float:left; overflow:hidden; margin:0px 0px 20px 5px;} /* IE6 doesnt support our preferred overflow:visible */ /* left navigation */ .navigation {background:url(/images/siteNav/transbgblocks/black/bg_0.png); color:white; width:300px; float:left; overflow:hidden; margin:10px 0px 20px 0px;} .navigation a:link, .navigation a:visited {color:#999999;} .navigation a:hover {color:#ffffff;} .navigationDivider {height:6px; line-height:6px; border-bottom:#232323 dashed 1px; margin-bottom:6px;} /* general elements */ .headline {background:transparent; color:transparent; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:transparent dashed 0px; border-top:transparent solid 0px; padding:330px 1px 50px 50px;} .headlineBig {font-size:22px; font-weight:normal;} .headlineSuppl {float:right; margin:0px 0px 0px 100px; color:#666666; font-size:11px; font-weight:normal;} /* for text/links on the right side of main headline (e.g. song count on main page) */ .headlineSuppl a:link, .headlineSuppl a:visited {color:#666666; text-decoration:none;} .headlineSuppl a:hover {color:black; text-decoration:underline;} .pageturner {background:; color:#cccccc; border:#4b4b4b solid 1px; text-align:right; padding:10px; font-size:13px; font-weight:normal;} /* pages menu (previous, next..), e.g. on music page, message board */ .pageturner .nonactive {color:#666666;} .pageturner a:link, .pageturner a:visited {color:#cccccc; text-decoration:none;} .pageturner a:hover {color:#ff0000; text-decoration:underline;} .listedPicsBox {border:#4b4b4b solid 1px; width:114px; height:160px; overflow:hidden; padding:2px 1px 4px 1px; margin:0px 4px 10px 4px; float:left; font-size:11px; text-align:center;} .listedPics {width:110px; height:125px; background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin:2px 0px 4px 0px; overflow:hidden} .breaker {height:1px; line-height:1px; clear:both} /* general color and font assets */ .color_supplemental {color:#666666;} /* used e.g. for song pages comments count */ .alternateBG0 {background:none;} /* used as background colors for comments */ .alternateBG1 {background:none;} /* alternate color */ /* main page (the default entry page) */ .mainContent .contHeadline {clear:left; font-size:16px; color:#cccccc; padding:1px 0px 2px 20px;} /* interview questions */ .mainContent .contText {clear:left; padding-left:15px;} .mainContent .contInterview {clear:left; padding-left:30px;} .mainContent .newsBox {clear:both; background:transparent; color:white; border:transparent solid 0px; margin:6px 20px 0px 20px; padding:100px;} /* main page: video box (different from video page) */ .videoBox_mainPage {padding:5px; margin:0px 100px 20px 100px;} .videoBox_mainPage .video {padding:5px; margin-bottom:10px;} .videoBox_mainPage .title {font-size:15px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:3px;} .videoBox_mainPage .shareLinks {float:right; padding:2px; border-bottom:#4b4b4b dashed 1px;} .videoBox_mainPage .labels {color:#666666; width:100px; padding-right:20px; text-align:right; float:left;} .videoBox_mainPage .info {padding-left:120px;} .videoBox_mainPage a:link, .videoBox_mainPage a:visited {font-size:13px; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;} .videoBox_mainPage a:hover {text-decoration:underline;} /* main page: upcoming shows */ .liveshowsBox {background:#cccccc; color:#000000; width:300px; margin:15px 2px 15px 10px; float:right; clear:right;} .liveshowsItems {padding:4px 0px 0px 0px; font-size:11px; clear:both;} .liveshowsBox a:link, .liveshowsBox a:visited {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;} .liveshowsBox a:hover {color:#666666; text-decoration:underline; cursorointer;} /* main page: standard song box on artist page (only this song box or the embedded player is used.

This is what is in my stylesheet? PHP Code: .small{ font-size: 11px; font-family: verdana, arial, tahoma;} I then used this: PHP Code: <span class="small"><font color="#000000">my text</font></span> But its not formatting it. Any ideas? if you take a look at this site: www.plumstead-mosque.co.uk you will see that the link section (IE) if you hover over it the color doesnt fill the whole section wheras in FF it does.. i was wondering if you could tell me how to fix it? css: (relevant) Code: #menu a {display:block; border-bottom:solid black 1px; font-weight:bold; text-align:left; padding:0em; margin:0em;} #menu ul, #menu li{ margin:0em; padding:0em; } #menu {list-style-type:none; width:100%; float:left; padding:0em; margin:0em; margin-bottom:1.5em;border:1px solid black;} #menu ul {list-style-type:none;} #menu li { position:relative;} I have a DIV which is styled to have a bottom border. Nested inside of this DIV is another DIV, which defaults to display:none, but I'd like to use JavaScript to turn it to display:block. When this happens, it works fine, but the bottom border for the parent DIV does not encapsulate the nested DIV as I would I assume it should. Am I totally missing something here, or is this just standard behavior? Here's the code. There is no other styling. Code: <style type="text/css"> .multiCheck { padding:5px; margin:10px 0; border-top:dotted 2px #CCCCCC; border-bottom:dotted 2px #CCCCCC; } .multiCheck .title { padding:5px; font-size:1.2em; color:#003366; font-weight:bold; } .multiCheck .checkBox { margin-left:10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="multiCheck"><div class="title"><input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2_toggle" onClick="document.getElementById('newsLocations').style.display='block';" value="location"/> Location News:</div> <div class="checkBox" id="newsLocations" style="display:none;"> <div style="float:left; width:150px;"> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="27" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="25" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="19" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="99" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="20" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="2" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="1" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="3" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="4" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="26" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> </div> <div style="float:left; width:150px;"> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="21" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="5" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="6" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="22" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="7" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="8" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="9" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="10" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="17" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="11" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> </div> <div style="float:left; width:150px;"> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="24" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="12" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="23" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="13" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="14" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="15" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="16" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="mp_arg2[]" value="18" onClick="populateTitle(this,'mp_arg1');"/> Location<br/> </div> </div></div> Thanks in advance, Colin Hi I am trying to setup a left border on my tabs here, no matter what combination I try I cannot get a left border exactly like the others without giving the wholebox a full border (dont want this!!)

Thanks My site looks as expected in IE, but Netscape...Fotget it. I can't figure it out, i've been at it for a long time. goto www.eldore.com Thanks I'm having issues with the HTML/CSS, only in IE, on the following page: http://www.datamonkeys.co.uk/webmail/webmail/log_in.php It looks ok in FF....It has something to do with the absolute/relative positioning, i think.... can anyone help me out here? thanks.. Have some problem with my css. Would appreciate some comments on how to do this: Here is the code: with explanation of what's not working: It's a small "complete" htm file.....

I am designing this layout for a system where users can insert content, so I am not sure how much content will be added to the two boxes. I am trying to show what I want to acheve in a picture-file: http://www.student.uib.no/~st11920/...out_problem.gif No matter how I do it I cannot get the surrounding DIV to expand horisontally according to the fixed content DIV's height. It will gladly expand to the liquid sized one, but the other one wich I have positioned absolute will not affect the surrounding DIV. My guess is that this is the expected result. The HTML is he http://www.student.uib.no/~st11920/...divproblem.html But my question is how can I do what I want with CSS? Hi i'm using the html below, for some reason in Dreamweaver the two images in the two lower cells appear on the left, and the text on the top button is up the top of the table cell. Is my code creating a conflict somewhere that would cause this? When I open it in Firefox or IE it looks fine, its just looking weird in design mode. HTML Code: Original - HTML Code <table width="160" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#454545"> <tr> <td id="menubuttonselected">News</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2009</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2008</a></td> </tr></table> <table width="160" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#454545"> <tr> <td id="menubuttonselected">News</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2009</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2008</a></td> </tr></table> with these style sheets: Code: #menubuttonsmall a { display:block; font: bold 14px/1 sans-serif; color:#000000; background: url("..//gfx//common/button_menu_sub.jpg") 0 0 no-repeat; text-decoration: none; height: 21px; padding-top: 10px; border-top: 1px; border-top-style: solid; width: 144px; margin: 0; text-align: center; } Code: #menubuttonselected { background: url("..//gfx//common/button_menu.jpg") 0 0 no-repeat; background-position: -480px 0; color: #FFFFFF; font: bold 14px/1 sans-serif; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; height: 40px; } Cheers, Mark O.K. Here is my style sheet code ... Code: <style type="text/css"> channel-container { background-color:#66FF66; width:500px; margin:auto; clear:both; } .channel { background-color:#CCFF00; width:465px; margin:auto; } .channel# { background-color:#99CC99; width:35px; margin:auto; } </style> and here is some of the html .... Code: <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>A&E</div> <div style=channel#>118</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>ABC Family</div> <div style=channel#>180</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>America Live</div> <div style=channel#>219</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Angel One</div> <div style=channel#>262</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Angel Two</div> <div style=channel#>266</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Cartoon Network (East)</div> <div style=channel#>176</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Cartoon Network (West)</div> <div style=channel#>177</div> </div> Now believe me I know this is not aesthetically appealing ... However I am just trying to get a base layout where I have a container I can change the background color on, or alter as I wish in the future. Then I want the channel name to show up, with the channel number in a separate cell .. All easily changable at will through the CSS rule modifications. Can anyone tell me what it is I am doing wrong here ? I am getting no formatting at all with the code I am using. This may not belong here. But it's about a CSS file, so I'll explain: I have css files in that are not having any effect. Using Firebug, I think I've narrowed the problem down to a server-side issue. Here are my headers: Request: Host: host User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 115 Connection: keep-alive Referer: https:/host/page Cookie: ...........

My latest frustration, after having found a 3-column format I like, is the footer. It looks fine in IE, but in Firefox its placement is entirely wonky - up under the header and behind the main content. Check it out at: http://www.theatrebayarea.org/v2/ and the css is he http://www.theatrebayarea.org/v2/css/default.css It does this whether I put the #footer <div> inside or outside the #frame <div>. Any ideas on why it's doing this, and how I could have it reliably appear at the bottom of the three columns? Thanks, Daniel Hello all, I am completely new to web development and am trying to learn by building my own website. The issue I have run into is getting my css to work on my page. HTML: <html> <head> <LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> <title> The Shore Report </title> </head> <body> <img src="TheShoreReport.jpg" > <img src="Web Background.jpg" > </body> </html> CSS: body { background-color:#b0c4de; } Is there something wrong with my link or what? On my website IE6 is rendering a menu bar with side blocks (the 2nd green bar down in the header area). See it here. Can anyone advise a work-around? Thanks |
