I then apply the size to each page separately, but now I have also found out that browsers interpret px differently it seems. my page is www.mmimageart.com, you can go and see in the galleries how if you are using safari, the container div is not wrapping the elements inside. So any help would be appreciatted. Thanks. This css looks great in IE, but in netscape, etc. its fubared. the positioning of the #leftcolumn is wayy out in the middle of the page instead of aligned like it should be and the right column is below the left column.

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? Whats the best CSS Tutorial you ever seen? I want to improve more on my web design so I want to know what CSS tutorial was the best? It can be anything like making a horzontal menu or best looking form. I dont care what it is... Thank you. Hi I have floated two boxes next to each other http://www.sussexfind.co.uk/test/ (left and right) I have put a class "clr" after them, when viewed in IE the gap between the footer and the rounded boxes is greater than when viewed in Firefox. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks http://65.26.50.204/ec/index3b.html They look odd on the left and bottom, the margin seems to big, and there is no margin on the right or bottom, in firefox. In internet explorer it displays the way I want it too, but it adds scrollbars and expands the pages width and height, past where I want it to go. Any solutions? I know its a bit vague but if someone can actually HINT on what is wrong with the design as it looks ok in FF and IE7 and major other browsers however in IE6.0 the divs (basket and best seller and donate) have moved to the right a bit more. In Opera9.0 it looks very messy. IE: http://browsershots.org/screenshots...1b07da5ea24003/ Opera: http://browsershots.org/screenshots...e171bac56fbf14/ Original: http://www.zahra-zahra.com/aboutus.php I am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it. The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox? You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers. Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem. I'm having an issue where a website is showing up a few pixels off in Mac Firefox than it is in PC firefox. Anyone have a quick fix for this? Mac Screenshots: http://graffetto.com/chops/clairus_screens.pdf PC Firefox Screenshot: Firefox, IE, and Netscape all look identical on PC, while firefox, IE and safari look identical on Mac, but different from PC (except safari - messed up text) Any help is greatly appreciated Edit: after reviewing my post I realized I was quite vague. What I'm looking for is a way to filter CSS so that only Mac Firefox users will receive one CSS file, and PC users will receive another. i read the thread posted about this not too long ago, and tried out the DOCTYPE! tag suggested, along with a few others from W3... however all that did was screw up the page more. anything you could do to help would be great Page Link I have a question regarding CSS and it's compatibility with FireFox, the problem is, when I have the CSS in a seperate file (e.g. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="content.css"> ) it wont work in FireFox browser, works fine in Internet Explorer, but when I copy and paste the CSS directly onto the page, in between the <head> </head> tags of course, it works fine in FireFox and Internet Explorer fine, what am I doing wrong, do I need to specify something in the "stylesheet type" tag above? Any help would be great! I have two divs on a page and the last two are about 10 pixels higher up the screen than the last one. But if I adjust the window size they move back down where they should be. This only happens on of the pages though which is quite odd. Does anyone know of any firefox bugs that would cause this and any work-arounds? I created a menu for someone, hideous as it may be, it's what they wanted. However, it works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. This is code I used for the menu. .Menu ul li { float:left; position:relative; list-style-image:url(images/divider2.gif); margin:0 15px 0 20px; padding:0; } I have an image to replace the bullets that would normally appear. In Firefox it appears with the image as it should, but in Internet Explorer it is not showing up like it should. My website works fine with all browsers except IE. Can anyone help me with the issue? www.opennys.com It uses CSS and xHTML and PHP. Thanks, Dennis my css in IE is GREAT and look good. but on firefox, it doesnt show my background and all that. can anyone give me some suggestions. www.na-magodai.net Have a page at www.maxxedmotors.com/damo There is a div called "container" which is supposed to surround all of the content with a border. This works fine in IE 6/5.x, but in firefox the border only surrounds the div called "header". Can anyone tell me where i'm being dumb Any help greatfully appreciated. Can someone please help me, i am desparate to intergrate transparency into my forum but im finding out what a pain in the *** it is. I tried semi transparent png's, but they only work in firefox and IE7 but most people are using IE6 (42.3%). I looked around on the internet for a fix that solves the ie6 png transparency issue but i didnt find one that shows it as semi transparent and doesnt bugger all of the links. Now ive moved onto CSS, ive found a solution that works great for IE 6 + 7 but not firefox. What happens is i apply a transparent css to the pagebackground: Code: filter:alpha(opacity=50); opacity: 0.5; but it applies it to everything on top as well. To get around this i apply a non transparent css to everything on top: Code: filter:alpha(opacity=100); opacity: 1; This works fine in IE making the background transparent and the contents on top solid but in firefox everything (including the content and the background) is transparent. Is there anything i can do to get around this? Its getting really annoying! Any help you can give would be much appreciated. James I built a website and its rendering one way in firefox and another in IE. I want it to display just the way Firefox has it. However, IE keeps messing up the padding and the whole layout is destroyed. Can anyone look at my code and tell me where I am going wrong? Please can someone tell me what I must do to get the code working in both IE and Firefox. Hi, I'm having an issue with Firefox displaying my home page correctly. It previews smaller than other pages in my site even though they all share the same style sheet. In IE 7 my site previews fine, the issue is with Firefox for some reason the wrapper seems to shrink on the home page and any help or tips to steer me the right way would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
