CSS - Nested Clears
I am trying to figure out how to use the clear functionality nested within divs. I am already using floats to position 3 columns for the layout, but would like to use the clear functionality to help with form placement in the second column. The problem is, even though it is nested with a div dedicated to the center column, it still uses the right and left column to judge clears...thus its all pushed below the right and left column. Any ideas?
Similar TutorialsI'm having an issue with IE6 not clearing a sidebar on a static-width two column layout (pretty standard stuff). I'm usind a variation of Dan Cedarholm's omnipresent "faux columns" and as properly symantic markup as possible. Everything is great in Moz/KHTML/IE5Mac/Opera. Unfortunately, although formatting is right in IE5/6, it doesn't want to play nice with clearning, and the sidebar content originates below the main content baseline (haven't we seen this one a few times). I think a BM hack could fix it, but I don't really want to use hacks with IE7 so quickly on the horizon (even if it won't support CSS2. Bastards). Click Here for the XHTML. Click Here for the CSS file. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Soooo close to finalizing this template. -- Aiden I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? well if i dont put any css firefox does this with nested link: Code:
link1
link2
sublink1
IE doesnt indent the sublink. so is there any hack available? PS>i tried using margin-left but by doing that firefox indents it even further so it looks bad? cheers Thanks for taking the time to read my question If I have <div class="main"> something here <div class="sub1"> something here that has more height than the above div</div> </div> Shouldn't the height of main be stretched to fit the height of sub1 where sub1 has a greater height than main. Does it have to be display: block; or float: left; ? Brad Hi everyone. I've come pretty close to solving this problem but certain problems keep showing themselves. Here's the mockup menu I'm trying to recreate. Current CSS: Code:
.interior #sidebar ul{
padding:20px 0 5px 0px;
list-style:none;
}
.interior #sidebar ul.outerUL {border-bottom:1px solid white;}
.interior #sidebar ul.middleUL{border-top:1px solid white; margin:0; padding:5px 0 0 0;}
.interior #sidebar ul.innerUL{padding:5px 0;}
.interior #sidebar ul li a {padding:5px 0 5px 0; margin:0;}
.interior #sidebar ul li.outerLI a{
border-top:1px solid white;
padding:0 0 0 20px;
color:#003371;
width:100%;
}
.interior #sidebar ul li.middleLI a{
padding-left:25px;
color:#3f699d;
}
.interior #sidebar ul li.innerLI a{
padding:2px 0 2px 30px;
color:#0f8b53;
}
.interior #sidebar a {text-decoration:none;}
Current HTML: Code:
<div id="sidebar">
<ul class="outerUL">
<li class="outerLI"><a href="#">Our Misssion</a></li>
<ul class="middleUL">
<li class="middleLI"><a href="#">Quality</a></li>
<ul class="innerUL">
<li class="innerLI"><a href="#">Dedication</a></li>
<li class="innerLI"><a href="#">Perseverance</a></li>
</ul>
<li class="middleLI"><a href="#">Choice</a></li>
<li class="middleLI"><a href="#">Value</a></li>
</ul>
<li class="outerLI"><a href="#">Parkland Timeline</a></li>
<li class="outerLI"><a href="#">Management Bios</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
I've tried multiple different ways of acheiving the desired look, but each one has a certain problem with it. This is the best I can get while still keeping each link the correct color and font size. I'd be all set (I can deal with the padding later) if I could get the white bar above each of the top-level links to extend across the whole sidebar div. I have a div: .gallery{width:95%;margin:0 auto;padding:5px;border:solid 1px black;} and inside I have: .galleryItem{float:left;width:150px;padding:5px;height:150px;border:solid 1px black;} .spacer{clear:both;} Used to give height to the container div. The idea is to create and even sized box for varying jpgs. How do I get the inside divs to space themselves out evenly across the space? AND the get the jpg to align itself in the middle of its containing div? Thanks. Hi All, I'm fairly new to CSS and have what is probably a basic question. I'm trying to format a class and having issue. Please look at my html and the css code below: Code: div class="node"> <div class="taxonomy"></div> <div class="content"> <p>Photo Gallery Body Here</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/sites/default/files/imagecache/Full/IMG_0275_0.JPG" rel="lightbox[field_image][Pic 1<br /><br /><a href="/node/48" id="node_link_text" class="active">View Image Details</a> - <a href="/sites/default/files/IMG_0275_0.JPG" target="_blank" id="download_link_text">Download Original</a>]"><img src="/sites/default/files/imagecache/Thumbnail/IMG_0275_0.JPG" alt="Pic 1" title="Pic 1" width="125" height="125" /></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Code: .node .field .field-type-filefield .field-field-image .field-items .field-item .odd
{
border: 1px solid #fff;
width: 125px;
height: 125px;
margin-top: 35px;
margin-right: 28px;
float: left;
}
The only way I can format the "field-item odd" class but naming the css class .odd. However, this effects other parts of the site. How do I target this specific class properly? Thanks! So... I have two versions of this page, one that validates, and another that doesn't. Problem is that the invalid one looks correct! This is because I got the css working before i discovered the invalid code... The offending code involves a nested ul in my nav. The invalid, looking good version looks like this: Code: <ul> li / li / <ul> li / li / </ul> li / </ul> To make it valid, I have to wrap li tags around the nested ul. I've spent gobs of time trying to figure out how to get my styles to work with this new code, but I must be missing something very simple. Here are the urls: invalid & valid Here's the css: Code:
#nav {
width:180px;
background-image:url(/images/moraga_logo.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
float:left
}
#nav ul.l1 {
width:179px;
position:relative;
top:100px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#nav ul.l2 {
width:179px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#nav ul.l1 li {
list-style:none;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
height:21px;
font-family:geometric, lucida, verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:.8125em;
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:.125em;
text-align:right
}
#nav ul.l2 li {
text-transform:lowercase;
border:none;
font-size:.6875em;
}
#nav li.active a {
color:#A22B38;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav li.active a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:link {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:visited {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF
}
#nav a:active {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}

Hope the above scripts can be viewed easily. I just started using css, and for some reason I can't get this simple template to function in Mozilla Firefox. I don't know how nested divs behave, but it's really frustrating. The problem is that i have two main divs within one encompassing div. The encompassing div is supposed to expand in height based upon the height and/or position of the nested two divs, but it only expands based one of these nested divs. These nested divs have divs inside them too. This only happened in mozilla firefox. In IE it works. I'm not using floats or anything. I don't have it up on a site, but if necessary I'll post a pic of the rendering. Thanks in advance. I am at my wits end! Some of my nested divs cause FF throw up scroll bars...and not all the time. If I hit refresh, they disappear. Everything validates: Both my css and xhtml. I have tried every allowed value for overflow to no avail. There are no floated images either to vlear; just text. Give it a look in FF and see: My Site My css Is it psosible to have IF statements with CSS? Example: IF table.length = 500px then bg.image = xx else if table.length < 500px bg.image = xx Thanks hmmmm i want a nested list for a navigation menu, vertical on the left side all buttons aligned with 1px margin in between ok it almost works but i cant get rid of the extra list item that contains the nested list how does it not show itself I am trying to create a layout that uses Nested DIVs, and I may be trying to force it to do something it does not like. I will post the code below, but here is an image that displays the layout. Note that Div3 and Div1 are fine, and Div 2 is fine, and the top DIV that is inside of that, #4, is where it needs to be, but the rest of the items just fall in below it. I would really not wish to use tables, but I am trying to do something that can only be done with tables? Page Code: Code: <div id="content">
<div id="usercp">
<?php include("scripts/yourmother.php"); ?>
</div>
<br />
<div id="NewsOuter"><div id="NewsTitle"><a href="viewArticle.php?id=1">ArticleTitle</a></div>
<div id="NewsInner"><div id="NewsImage"><img src="http://tweedledee.dyc.edu/~tpx/test/tpx7c/images/site/notavail100.jpg"></div>
<div id="NewsShortDesc">ArticleShort</div></div>
<div id="NewsBottom"><div id="NewsIndexDate">ArticleDate</div>
<div id="NewsIndexUser">ArticleUser</div></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the relevant CSS (not counting the Content (div 1) or UserCP (div 3) Code: #Content #NewsOuter {
display: block;
float: left;
height: 162px;
width: 602px;
}
#NewsTitle {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}

border:1px solid;
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
height:20px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align:left;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 1px 10px;
}
#NewsTitle a:hover {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;
}
#Content #NewsOuter #NewsInner {

Also to note, the 3 items that appear below the image are not getting their formatting. Should I just use tables instead? I am Having a problem with IE6 and DIV's which use blocks to highlight links. The problem is I want to have different colour links. It seems to work OK in FF but not IE 6. Code:
.mainmenu a:link { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:visited { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }

I'm having some cross browser CSS issues (what a surprise.. ). Things render fine in IE7, but in FF (2.0.x) it seems that the style for <div id="shell"> just seems to stop. It looks <div class="content_shell"> is overflowing outside of its parent, but after using the 'Outline current element' tool in the web developer tool bar (very cool feature!) it looks like the parent div is being expanded but it's style is not. Basicly the white background and borders of "shell" don't continue and the content from "content_shell" just looks overflowed onto the page background. Very strange and again it's FF only. Here is the basic setup... html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="shell"> <!-- a bunch of other content --> <div id="page_contents"> <div class="content_shell"> <div id="main_content" class="content_box"> Sample main content. </div> <div id="secondary_content" class="content_box"> Sample secondary content. </div> </div> </div> </div>
and here's the related css css Code: Original - css Code #shell { background-position: right top; background-color: #FFFFFF; border-right-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-right-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px; border-right-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; width: 700px; height: auto; text-align: left; background-image: none; background-repeat: no-repeat; } #page_contents { width: 100%; height: auto; } .content_shell { width: 680px; height: auto; padding: 10px; font-size: 14px; } #main_content { width: 400px; height: auto; clear: right; float: left; } #secondary_content { width: 250px; height: auto; clear: right; float: left; margin-left: 10px; }
I'm sorry I can't post a link to the page, but it is still only on our intranet and deployed through SharePoint so it cannot be easily replicated on my own server. I have been using absolute positioning to place divs within a specific container div. I noticed that when the children divs expand with content, the parent div doesn't stretch to contain them. Am I missing something? I'm not looking for overflow:auto as my title may suggest... thanks for the help! EDIT: I have come to realize that using positioning breaks the natural "flow" of elements, which could be why the parent div wont stretch. So maybe I should ask- how do I regain the flow for the rest of the site, after the positioned divs are closed? I am not getting the right behaviour from my css in a nested list i made for a menu. here is the css for the menu Code:
#main_menu{
position: absolute; top: 252px; left:30px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#menu_item_1{
list-style-type: none;
}
#menu_item_1 a{
color:#11352B;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:300;
vertical-align:text-top;
}
#menu_item_1 a:hover{
color:#007888;
text-decoration:underline;
font-weight:300;
vertical-align:text-top;
}
#menu_item_2{
list-style-type: none;
}
#menu_item_2 a{
color:#007888;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:300;
vertical-align:text-top;
}
and here is the xhtml section showing the menu Code: <ul id='main_menu'> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='index.php'>Home</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='about_us.php'>About Us</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='customers.php'>Customers</a></li> <li id='menu_item_2'><a href='products.php'>Products</a></li> <ul> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='atlas2000.php'>Atlas 2000</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='atlas2000.php'>Web Request</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='atlas2000.php'>Atlas Mailer</a></li> </ul> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='service.php'>Service</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='download.php'>Download</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='support.php'>Support</a></li> <li id='menu_item_1'><a href='contact_us.php'>Contact Us</a></li> </ul> the main list works great but the sublist the color is wrong, it should behave like the main one does....I think I have not structured my css correctly, but can not figure it out. Hi All, I have the following html: Code: <div class="businessItem">
<div class="bizIcon">

}
div.bizInfo
{
float: left;
width: 256px;
}
div.bizContact
{
float: left;
width: 256px;
}
now the problem is that it looks like crap in FF2 and looks ok in IE7 (haven't tested IE6 yet). The idea is to have a full width div with 3 divs inside side by side. It looks *completely* different in FF2. Does anyone have any ideas? (I'm pretty new to CSS, just learning). I would be very grateful for any help offered. The following html and css are displaying very differently between IE7 and Firefox 2. The HTML is Strict verified and the CSS has also been verified. Please help me! I don't mind you telling me an idiot. Just please constructively explain how I'm an idiot and how I can stop being an idiot. Thanks.

I've found that nesting tables works very well for getting data aligned properly. I'm having serious trouble doing the same thing with css. For example, I can easily create a table with 2 col, 2 rows, then put another table in each box and do get things just the way I want. I can't figure out a way to do that with css. Is it possible? Should I even try? Thanks! |
