CSS - Margin-top Prob Between Ie And Ff
PHP Code:
body { margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; background-color: #777; } #bodywrapper { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 750px; background-color: #FFF; } #logo { margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 7px; margin-bottom: 7px; } .image { display: block; } .topnav { float: right; margin-top: 25px; background-image: url( images/line.gif ); } #left { float: left; width: 180px; background-color: #ccc; } #right { float: right; width: 180px; background-color: #ccc; } #center { margin-left: 190px; margin-right: 190px; background-color: #ccc; } #clear { clear: both; } #contentwrapper { margin: 0px; } PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <link href="/css/layout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <title>Petroleum Listing Service</title> </head> <body> <div id="bodywrapper"> <div id="header"> <div class="topnav"> image image image </div> <div id="logo"> <img class="image" src="images/logo.gif" /> </div> </div> <div id="contentwrapper"> <div id="left"> left </div> <div id="right"> right </div> <div id="center"> center </div> <div id="clear"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </div> </body> </html> The problem I am having is it seems that FF starts rendering the white background only once the image is placed...it doesn't count the margin above it as content I assume... IE however does what I want it to do...renders the margin above the image as content, and thus the white background starts at the very top of the page, thus a white margin between the top of the page and the logo. How do I rectify the problem? I understand that FF is probably doing it right...but how do I make FF also start the white background at the top. Similar TutorialsHi again. okay i'm playing with CSS to make a new site. Im trying to get the background image to move down from the top of the page by around 3cm or 200px approx but i cant figure out how to do it. Can anyone help a CSS n00b. Thanks Image so you can see what i meean. http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4571/help2wq.jpg I've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed. Here's the deal: On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be. I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help. I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything. Here's the site: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com here's the css: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css Anybody have insight into this? Background info: - I have validated the page and CSS, no problems there - Site is working properly in Firefox and IE, seems to be a margin issue in Safari -This margin issue is not the common Safari bug with a negative margin being applied to a floated element -I am using Safari in a windows environment, I do not have a Mac The problem: -in Safari the top margin on the content either is either not being applied at all or is being interpreted differently -it may be of note that I was having the same issue with IE, but was able to specify an IE specific style sheet for it, I don't believe this is possible in Safari?

Been looking around the web but most are suggesting to do what i have already done.

What should i do? You can see an example of the page at www.theresortwarehouse.com Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - Gaz Hi all Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7: http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't. Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem. I did a search and found this link: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way? Thanks a lot for help :-) Josh Hi, this would be my first post. I've been using CSS for about 6-7 months now, and I always find that IE is difficult. Below is the CSS I am using: Code: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { font-size: 72.5%; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; background: url(bricks.png) repeat; bakground-attachment: fixed; color: #FEEFA2; } a{ color: white; text-decoration: none; } a:hover{ color: #090; text-decoration: none; } a:visited{ color: #FEEFA2; text-decoration: underline; } p, li { font: 1.2em/1.8em Tahoma, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; } h1 { font: 2.0em Tahoma, sans-serif; color: white; height: 0px; } h2 { font: 1.8em Tahoma, sans-serif; color: #FEEFA2; margin-bottom: 10px; } ul { margin-left: 25px; } img { border: none; } #page-wrap { background: url("bricks.png")repeat #222; background-attachment: fixed; min-width: 720px; max-width: 1260px; margin: 10px auto; } #page-wrap #inside { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; } #main-content { background: url("") repeat-y #4B4214; padding-left: 230px; padding-right: 230px; padding-top: 20px; border-right: 1px solid #000; width: 45%; margin-left: 10%; } #header { width: 82%; margin: 0% 0% 0% 10%; background: #342E0E; text-align: center; font-size: 1em; } #left-sidebar { width: 150px; float: left; padding-left: 150px; padding-top: 20px; font-size: 1em; } #footer { background: #342E0E; margin-left: 10%; width: 82%; text-align: center; padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; color: white; } The problem lies with the left-sidebar div.

Cryptozoology (the study of cryptids) comes from the Greek words: <i>kryptos</i>, <i>zoon</i>, and <i>logos</i>, which translate to: hidden, animal, and discourse. The term was coined by Lucien Blancou when he dedicated a book to Bernard Heuvelmans, "the master of cryptozoology". Accounts of cryptids are abundant and diverse.

Please help PROB FIXED hi, I have a site im working on: www.tomaustin.dsl.pipex.com/webdev I have #mainbox on the left and #subnav on the right I want the subnav to have height 100% ( i know it is, but thats to show the other problem) I also have subnav going under mainbox when there is less content in main box basically im trying to get it to look like www.alistapart.com can anyone help, just ask if the probem sisnt make sense thanks PROB FIXED I was asked to change the header to a rotating one, and I found a nice jquery solution. Of course at first it made the links at the top (on top of the image) disappear, but then I looked at the jquery code and saw that it used z-index (1000), and so I made <header p> = z-index of 6000. That brought them back and in fact it looked pretty good... except in IE. And, depending on what I'm doing to fix the IE problem, Safari. In those browsers, the rotating header appears flush under the header p links, rather than flush up against the border -- and you can see the old static image peeking out. http://esdcar.org/about/board.html?category_id=1&sub_id=2 I googled z-index and IE and found several different options for stacking problems, which it seems like this is. (Am I wrong?) Negative z-index on the header div that contains header p, solved the problem in Safari but not IE. I followed some other suggestion and made all the parent elements successively 1 higher in value. Basically I've tried many things and none have worked. This is the current iteration: Code: #container { color: #775b36; background-color: #ffefca; border: 4px #f5c674 solid; width: 800px; margin: auto; background: url(../images/bkg_faux.jpg) repeat-y 50% 0; z-index: 6003; } <snip (unrelated divs)> #content { width: 75%; position: relative; margin: 0em; float: right; z-index:6002;} #header { background-image: url(../images/ec_landscape.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top; height: 100px; border-bottom: 4px #f5c674 solid; text-decoration: none; color: #775b36; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0em; position:relative; z-index:6001; } #header p { float: right; /*margin-right: 1%;*/ margin-top: 0em; padding-top: .2em; font-size: .7em; position:relative; z-index:6000; display:inline; background:#ffefca; padding: 2px; } What am I not getting? It seems like the z-index is the problem that was introduced, but I can't seem to fix it. Hi guys Can anyone see why the following has a space under the nav in IE but not in Opera or FF? http://www.mitya.co.uk/cssproblem (CSS: http://www.mitya.co.uk/cssproblem/css/main.css ) I have been playing with it for ages and can't crack it. I've tried removing the clear, etc etc. I'm relatively new to CSS-based design (as opposed to tables) but feel the code and my CSS are OK. Thanks in advance Well I have a multi-part question. I am obviously new to css. I have a site located here . As you can see in the panel to the left the text spans past the footer. I would like the text to push the footer down. I have been trying for hours to get this to work but well.... here I am Any help would be greatly appreciated. Second part is that I opened this in IE on mac and WHOA! Not good to say the least. Any ideas on how I can hack this to match the way it looks in FF? Again any help would be great. Thanks for your time and expertise, phpkata. Noted only on certain laptops is a quirk causing the rt floated column (body) to be shifted below the lf float...basically a glitch in the width dimensioning. The first time I noticed it it happened to be one of the wide format DELL laptops using IE thus figuring it had something to do with the non-4x3 ratio. But, I just saw it again yesterday on a run-of-the-mill Compaq. While this instance was noted using IE they also had Netscape installed and it exhibited no crowding problem allowing the webpage to view properly. The following link is directed to a page known to exhibit that quirk on select laptops - http://www.solidgroundnc.com/the_band/bio_band.htm I know trying to use pixel values is a bit on the I-beg-to-be-frustrated side of life. ;-) Using percentages I never achieved my expected results and reducing pixel width to build breathing room was hampered by its cumulative effect on the sub-nav list. I was goaded to use percentages for that list, and I really wanted too, but it never seemed successful. Any insight, if anyone can even duplicate the symptom, would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Golem2 Alright - so I just changed my Java Script based navigation menu over to a CSS based menu for better search engine crawling and easy of use. Here's what I want, and can't seem to do: The original font color of a the links is "white". Easy enough. When you mouse over the link it turns light grey. Looks great! This part works wonders. Here's the problem...When you visit a page in the navigation, the "hover: change color to grey" doesn't work anymore. Instead of remains solid white. Is there a fix/trick to making it work so that always always when you hover over these links they change to grey. Whether the link is active, or already visited, it turns grey during hover. Thank for your help! To see this in action visit Window Film and More.com and take a look at the left navigation. I've been trying to make a "pop-up" window with CSS which works great for the most part, except in IE when there is a form pull-down menu behind it. For some reason in IE it just sticks right through the top z-indexed layer: http://www.lockheed-martin.co.uk/css/full_layout_test.html ok if you go there, you will see a text resize functionality, if you decrease the browser size, this text will fall out of the border.. any way to fix that? also I was trying to align the menu to middle but margin:auto isnt working like it did for the body? finally I want to style forms without using floats or br but they are not playing ball.. (well the code I have, I think is poor but it works for them but not for submit button which I would like to be on its own) Code: form { width:30%; } fieldset, input { color:green; border:1px solid green; } legend { margin-left:0.5em; } label{ white-space:pre; margin:0 1em 0em 1em; } input { width:50%; margin-bottom:1em; } input[type="submit"] { padding:2px; margin-left:1em; width:auto; } form: Code: <form action="" method="post"> <fieldset> <legend>Example of a form</legend> <label>First Name</label> <input type="text" name="firstName" size="10"/> <label>Last Name</label> <input type="text" name="lastName" size="10"/> <label>Some options</label> <input type="checkbox" name=""/> Some <input type="checkbox" name=""/> other <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/> </form> PS> if you go to the link and view source, you will see that I have used very few ids and instead used CSS selectors.. any comment on code would also be appreciated.. The reason for this is mainly for me to learn these selectors & work with them.. and this is the reason I have not used float property.. which I am amazed that you could replicate using overflow:hidden and top & left to align elements.. Hi, I need some help with understanding why netscape is rendering list items differently to IE The Embedded (Dreamweaver-wizard-created) style sheet looks like this: Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- .bul-mnu-lst { font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Andale Mono", "Arial Unicode MS", "Eras Medium ITC", "Microsoft Sans Serif"; font-size: 80%; line-height: 140%; color: #666666; list-style-position: inside; display: list-item; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top; list-style-image: url(hme_imgs/bullits/dottedArrw_bul.jpg); list-style-type: none; } --> </style> the HTML using the sheet looks like this: Code: <div id="activitiesMnu" style="position:absolute; width:218px; height:186px; z-index:1; left: 17px; top: 227px; visibility: visible;"> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> football</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> rugby</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> tennis</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> badminton</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> swimming</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> squash</p> <p class="bul-mnu-lst"> volley-ball</p> </div> The problem is, Netscape based browsers are ignoring the, line-height: attribute or just misinterpreting it and using what looks like double spacing between lines. This is causing the layer to overlap other page items and looks aweful. In I.E, it looks as expected. i've tried changing to percentages instead of pixels for the value as heard percentages are best Also tried, list-style-position from 'outside' to 'inside' values and, list-style-image: to non and used a default preset setting (square) bullet-style. - but the problem persists. any suggs?? Hi there, I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though. I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG. Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me. Any ideas? Thomas Hi, Im creating a list that shows a photo and personal data of people. It's he http://tiregarfio.byethost17.com/web/frontend_dev.php/miembros username: fer password: m When i load it with IE6 i can see the list, but between the photos there are little space. I FF there isn't any space. Is that the bug of the "doubled margin" of IE6? Regards Javi |
