CSS - Firefox And Width On Span
I use this in IE:
<span style="width:22"></span> as a blank spacer. The 22 is actually calculated so it varies. Of course it does not work in Firefox. I get no spacing at all. What is the acceptable cross browser method of doing this? Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsHello all! I've problem with firefox rendering's of span tag, the problem is in the width definition, the code is this: Code: <span style="width:100%; background:red">My name is Danny!</span> IE show me a 100% red row with the text instead Firefox show me only text with the backgroud color. Why this? is a Firefox bug or is not possible to assign width definition to the span tag?! Hello, Well this is a very simple question ... how can Iset the width of a span from CSS? Basically I tried setting the span with from CSS however the span size remained wrapped to the text inside rather then taking the width I desire. I check some interent forums, and found out that if I set the float:left the width is taken, but my span is no longer is place! is there a way to set the span width without having to set thr float:left option? thanks and regards, Sim085 ok, i know that because span is a inline element width cant be applied to it, and a lot of people suggest DIV my problem is that div wont work, because of its auto-break thing.... it being a block element and all... so, how would i apply a width of something like 100px to the span elements in code like this?... Code: <div class="infocontainer"> <span class="infobox">Publisher: <?php print $publisher; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Developer: <?php print $developer; ?></span> <span class="infobox">System: <?php print $system; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Gen <?php print $genre; ?></span> </div> Hello, I am having a problem getting the section that says WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY to span the entire right side of the page. I would like to set it up so that no matter what screen resolution the page is viewed in, that section will stretch all the way to the right side. Any suggestions? http://www.discinsights.com/cyber/Scripts/default.asp Thanks ahead of time! I want to have some small boxes of fixed width on a page, so I can change the background colour to create the appearance of "flashing lights". I've set the width property on the span tag. It works fine in Internet Explorer but not in Netscape. Any suggestions? Hi, I am trying to create a very simple login form. Before I used to develop everything with tables, so I had the email label and password label alligned under each other correctly. Now I am trying to do it only with divs, spans and css, however i can not give a fixed with the span or labels so that email and password are alligned under each other! Here is the html file I have. Basically I have to login forms, one with css and the other one with tables. You can see that the table example has email and password label alligned under each other keeping the same width, while in the css example email takes less space then password. I tried setting the witdh to the label, but it did not work! Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
<style>
div.login{
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.login label{
border: 1px solid green;
width: 200px;
text-align:left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Example with only divs, span and css:
<div class="login">
<div>
<label>
Email
</label>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="text" value="" />
</div>
<div>
<label>
Password
</label>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="password" value="" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<input type="button" value="Register" />
<input type="button" value="Forgot Password" />
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Example with tables.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="text" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="password" value="" />
</td>

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<input type="button" value="Register" />
<input type="button" value="Forgot Password" />

What should I do to my css to set a width to a label or span? thanks and regards, sim085 I don't mind telling yall, I'm a bit hesitant to post here, only because I'm very new to html and css, just learning. Folks here are far above my ability, I've got many of the pages on site bookmarked for reference. I'm taking this plunge because I'm ready to rip hairs one by one on a problem. I have a friend who originally made a site in a builder program *shudders* and he has asked me to convert it to more conventional pages (he's determined to keep this theme and I'm not good enough to remake the entire site by hand yet). This program created every thing on the pages as a Div with css styling embedded in the document. Ive got everything working perfectly except that I can not for the life of me get the Div.banner to stretch the width of pages in order for it to span the width of any resolution. What I'm trying to do is simply (or should be) make a 93px by 3 or 4 px bar repeat the length of the div. Here is the code its using at this time. Code: <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
DIV.banner { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:0; }
....</STYLE>
<DIV class="banner"><IMG SRC="images/vbar.PNG" WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=93 BORDER=0></DIV>
The above works but its a fixed width and I would like it to be full width no matter what resolution ones using. I have tried making the Div class="banner" use a width=100%. This causes the image to be shown at top=0 and left=0 once only. I tried adding background-repeat repeat-x to the css code. Any other changes I make like removing the Width from the Div class all together causes it to just go away. I've been able to manipulate everything else from this horrible theme fine except this. I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing and if you need to see more of the index page code just let me know (its not online at this time). I didn't want to put in too much stuff and being such a n00b at all this, I'm learning so be gentle with me.. Thanks in Advance Me I've quickly created a small website for a friend of mine and it's the first time I've used <div> and <span> tags. It probably shows , because now it's a mixture of all kinds of layout methods. But anyway, it works fine in IE (what a lovely tolerant browser) but it messes up in Firefox. Have a look he www.duikeninegypte.nl The block text in the left column in the middel shows up fine in IE but is moved to the right in Firefox. Both pieces of text are defined in another file, so here it concerns the left part (_HOMEDUUR) and the middle part (_HOMEBODY). Why does it work in IE but not in Firefox? Cheers for any feedback! Gurt PHP Code: echo " <center><div id=\"backholder\" style=\"position: relative; height: 576px; width: 720px;\"> "; // background image echo " <IMG SRC=\"images/homeback.jpg\" style=\"position:absolute; left:0; top:0;\" border=\"0\" title=\"\"> "; //start navigation menu echo " <IMG SRC=\"images/nav-home-sel.gif\" style=\"position:absolute; left:5; top:10;\" border=\"0\" title=\"\"> "; echo " <a href=\"inhoud.php\"><IMG SRC=\"images/nav-inhoud-def.gif\" style=\"position:absolute; left:5; top:70;\" border=\"0\" title=\"\"></a> "; echo " <a href=\"bestel.php\"><IMG SRC=\"images/nav-bestel-def.gif\" style=\"position:absolute; left:5; top:130;\" border=\"0\" title=\"\"></a> "; // end navigation // left panel echo " <span style=\"position: absolute; left: 20; top: 190;\"> "; echo " <table width=\"200\" border=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"100%\"><font color=\"#ffffff\">"._HOMEDUUR."</font></td></tr></table> "; echo " </span> "; // body panel echo " <span style=\"position: absolute; left: 235px; top: 90px;\"> "; echo " <table width=\"480\" border=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"100%\">"._HOMEBODY."<br><br>"._HOMECREDITS."</td></tr></table> "; echo " </span> "; echo " </div></center> "; Chrome and Firefox aren't styling any of the span elements I have-in IE they load fine. For example the css..I'll check back in this book I have and online to see if I can find the issue. I appreciate any help. For example heres a span I have. Code:
.title {background-color:CCCCCC;
font-family:Verdana;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
border:2px double blue;
height:70px;
width:200px;
}
the html.. Code: <div id="menu">
<span class="button">
<a href="www.google.com">home</a>
</span>
<span class="button">
<a href="www.google.com">home</a>
</span>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="sidebar">
<p>sidebar to the right</p>
<h2>text</h2>
</div>
<span class="title">
<h2>Title of something</h2>
</span>
<p>some text sdfdsdsfdsf</p>
</div>
It may be that the divs and spans are conflicting because of their properties or that they are not properly nested or named..? Here's my whole css document. Code:
#container {margin-left:25%;
margin-right:25%;
}
#header {text-align:center;
background-color:grey;
border:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color:black;
margin-bottom:20px;
}
#menu {background-color:white;
border:solid;
border-color:black;
border-width:1px;
font-family:Verdana;
padding:8px;
margin:0px;
}
.button {background-color:#FFFFCC;
margin:3px;
width:90px;
border:solid;
padding:2px;
border-width:1px;
border-color:black;
text-decoration:none;
color:grey;
text-align:center;
font-family:Verdana;
font-size:small;
}
#content{background-color:white;
font-family:Verdana;
padding-left:20px;
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
border:1px solid grey;
margin-right:0px;
margin-top:20px;
height:900px;
}
.title {background-color:#CCCCCC;
font-family:Verdana;
border:2px double #000000;
height:70px;
width:200px;
}
#footer{align:center; background-color:grey;font-size:.60em;}
#sidebar {float:right;
width:150px;
height:900px;
background-color:white;
border-left:1px double grey;
margin-left:0px;
padding:8px;
}
I'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Hi I'm struggeling with the following: I have some span elements inside a td. If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td). Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside? Se example code below Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;"> <tr> <td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;"> <span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span> <span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span> <span style="">Last</span> </td> </tr> </table> ******* UPDATE ******* I found this link today: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts which says (among other things): ************************* Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up. Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it. ************************* So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above? Is there any working workarounds for this...? Hey, I need to get a div to expand to the full width of a page in firefox. IE seems to do this automatically. Say I have this layout; Code: <div style="float:left; width:30px;">first column</div> <div style="float:left; width:100%;">second column</div> In firefox, this puts the second div on a new row and expands it to the full width of the page; | 30px | | 100% | I want it to stay on the same row as the first div, and use the available space; |30px| |left over width (100%)| I can get this working in IE but i'm struggling with firefox... Thanks for your time, -Ross As simple as the problem sounds, Im completely puzzled by what could be going wrong. The problem is if I set the width of my div too 100%, it wont show up in Firefox. It works fine if I define it in pixels, but I want it to just stretch. Using a % works fine in IE. Here is the code: Code:
#left {
width:100%;
height:598px;
padding:0;
background: #EEF;
display: table-cell;
background: url("bg.gif") top left repeat-x;
}
Anyone have any ideas? Hi there! My website (Yes.. I'm aware I use tables. Sue me. :P) has been driving me crazy CSS-wise. width:100% doesn't seem work right! Well, I know it does... but it hasn't been, and I have no idea why. As you can see in that page (and the forums too....) the black-bordered table underneath each subheader stretches too far in everything but Firefox. In Opera, not only does the black-bordered table stretch too far, but the subheading stretch... too little. O_o I am at a complete loss for words at this. Also, might I point out that when you visit a song on the site, the file type navigation (#sheetNav in the CSS file) works just fine? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. For your convenience, here is the CSS file. Yes, it's something of a mess... forgive me. http://apollomix.com/master.css Thanks a lot! The template I am working on is a simple HTML page that I want to modify to work in Joomla. However the look of the site is not quite the same in Firefox (where it looks good) and IE8 where one part of it I could not make right for two days. The left sidebar is shorter and the content right side is shorter and not aligned. I am aware that is something small but I could not get it right. Please help. The URL is: compasstgdotcom/~orak the css in questions is: base.css Thank you all Hi, I'm having a problem, I'm using the chunk of css code below to make a horizontal menu that I want to run across the 895 px #container that I've created. The menu fits perfectly in IE, but in firefox it overflows the last menu button the next line. How do I get the css menu to be the exact same width in firefox and IE?? Here's the css: Code: #snav ul
{
float:left;
width:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
}
a
{
float:left;
width:7.9em;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:center;
color:black;
background-color:#eed9ac;
padding:0.2em 0.6em;
border-right:1px solid black;
}
a:hover {background-color:#e7bb5b; text-decoration:underline; color:#9b2f1e}
li {display:inline}
Thanks for looking! Firefox 3.6 is showing a blank screen for everything I have set as 100% width but looks ok in Firefox 5. My main concern at this point is this: I'm trying to figure out how to move the 4 navigation items (the owl, contact, portfolio and home) closer to the tree without going over or under it. Any help or suggestions I can get are much appreciated! ------------------------------------- Here's the HTML: Code:

NEVER MIND. Got it. lol Please delete... Hello all. This is a problem I am encountering on many placing: when I put a width to an certain object (let's say 20px), and I want the text in the object to start and pixel 4px, I can use padding-left:4px; This is no problem in Internet explorer, but Firefox seems to make this object 4px wider. Instead of keeping the object 20 pixels, it becomes 24 pixels. Does anybody know how to get of this bug in Firefox? Hi, can anybody help me stretch green buttons for Firefox just like they appear in IE? I'd greatly appreciate the help. Please see the attached html. |
