CSS - Width: 298px Evaluating Differently In Ie And Firefox
Hi,
I've searched various threads in this forum, even tried re-iterating the question in another similar post to no avail. How is it that in Firefox (1.0) I get overflow occuring on a nested div, yet in IE (6) I do not? i would like vertical scrollbars ONLY, if content is overflowing and not horizontal scrollbars-using a WC3 valid solution if possible. Thanks in advance A snippet of my css... PHP Code: /*css document*/ /* container div class*/ .outer{ width: 336px; height: 448px; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 10px; background-color: #ffffff; /*background:url("../images/pg_curl.gif") top right no-repeat;*/ } /* inner-content div class*/ .inner { width: 298px; height: 388px; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px; /*margin: 34px 0 0 19px;*/ margin: 2px 0px 0px 19px; font-size: 12px; /*line-height: 15px;*/ color: #000000; clear: both; /*scrollbars for content overflow*/ overflow:auto; } /* Example of problem: at the momment, in Firefox inserting this into the .inner classed div is creating horizonal overflow*/ .navigation { width: 298px; } .navigation ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .navigation li { border-bottom: 1px solid #ED9F9F; } .navigation li a:link, .navigation li a:visited { display: block; padding: 2px 2px 2px 0.5em; border-left: 10px solid #711515; border-right: 1px solid #711515; background-color: #B51032; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } .navigation li a:hover { background-color: #711515; color: #FFFFFF; } .navigation ul ul { margin-left: 12px; } .navigation ul ul li { border-bottom: 1px solid #711515; margin:0; } .navigation ul ul a:link, .navigation ul ul a:visited { background-color: #ED9F9F; color: #711515; } .navigation ul ul a:hover { background-color: #711515; color: #FFFFFF; } Similar TutorialsThe link to my page is: crowncontainer.com/dev/activity_test.php you'll have to post the www. in front, i'm a new user and can't post URL???? I have validated both the CSS and the XHTML. If you open in IE, the width starts out at 200px, which is what I've defined in CSS. If you open it in Firefox, it is wider and I don't know why? Also - when you click on the submit button, the program will return data in an AJAX call and the data will load in a div directly underneath the form. When the data is returned in IE, the width of the left nav will increase to the same width that displays in Firefox. Because of this, I have to believe that there is some buggy code that causes it to 'sort of' work in IE but not in Firefox? Can someone take a stab at this and help me? I want to keep my left nav width to 200px; Hi I have this small problem with one of my sites when viewed in IE *surprise surprise* Let's say I have a div called "foo". I specify a width and set a padding of 10px. Code:
<style>
.foo {
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<div class="foo">Bar</div>
Firefox, Opera and Mozilla interprets this as an element which's "text area" is 100px and there's an additional 10px on both sides. So the actual width of the div is 120px. IE doesn't interpret it like that. If I set widht=100px, then the actual width is 100px regardless if I have paddings or not. Now these different types of interprations are causing me a head ache. Is there any "trick" to make the div to be equally wide in all browsers? If not, I guess the only option is to use tables - Kimppa Hi, I have an issue with Vertical menu contained in Re-sizable DIV.

This code works fine on Firefox by centering horitzontally the page but in IE7 stays left aligned. Can you help? Thank you! Running here Hi, I'm having an interesting problem. I have a left floated containing div and then a right floated containing div to split multiple contents between the left and right side of a popup window. It works great in IE 7, Chrome, FF3, but for some reason not in FF2. In FF2, it forces the contents of the right floated containing div below the left floated div (instead of beside it) and makes it's width the entire width of the popup. Any idea why? (there is a reason I had to put all the css directly in the code - normally it's separated) Here's the code: Code:
<div style='padding: 15px; text-align: left;'>
<div style='float: left;'>
<table style='margin-top:16px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;'>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td><td colspan='2'><input id='popupName' name='popupName' style='float:left' type='text'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='padding:5px 0 17px 0;'>Type:</td><td style='padding:5px 0 17px 0;' colspan='2'><select id='popupType' name='popupType' style='float:left; width: 148px; height: 21px' ></select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='padding-bottom: 14px;' colspan='3'><div style='width: 280px'>This is some text.</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style='padding-bottom: 5px;'>Group Title:</td><td style='padding-bottom: 5px;'><input id='popupGroupTitle' name='popupGroupTitle' style='float:left' type='text'></td><td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Titles:</td><td><input id='popupTitles' name='popupTitles' style='float:left' type='text'></td><td><input style='float:left; padding: 0;' type='button' value='Add >>' onclick=\"addToList()\"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div style='float: right;'>
<div style='margin-bottom:5px;'>Element Titles:</div>
<select id='newOptionSelect' style='float:right; width: 247px;' size='12'></select>
<input id='popupDeleteBtn' style=\"clear: right; background: rgb(190,190,190) url('/url') no-repeat center center; float:right; margin: 5px 2px;\" type='button' onclick='removeFromList(\"newOptionSelect\", newOptionArray)'/>
<input id='popupMoveDownBtn' style=\"float:right; background: rgb(190,190,190) url('/url') no-repeat center center; margin: 5px 2px;\" type='button' onclick='moveDown(\"newOptionSelect\", newOptionArray)'/>
<input id='popupMoveUpBtn' style=\"background: rgb(190,190,190) url('/url') no-repeat center center; float:right; margin: 5px 2px;\" type='button' onclick='moveUp(\"newOptionSelect\", newOptionArray)'/>

Well I'm pretty uneducated in CSS, I have just played around with it hours and hours and always figured out what I was trying to do. But right now I am stumped. Please view the following page in FireFox if you have it: http://www.iqdrop.com/newiq/index.php Then in IE You see the Google ad is dropped way down in IE for some reason and overlaps my menu, and the <DIV> containing the word "index.php" is also taller in IE. I'm not sure what is wrong and I've been trying all sorts of things with no luck. Thanks for any help. I've been working some more on a new layout for one of my websites this weekend. However, I'm having trouble getting the layout to display the same in all browsers. Everything is looking exactly how I hoped in Firefox, but when the same page is viewed in Internet Explorer, some things appear rather differently. Sample Page: http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/index.htm CSS File: http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/stylesheet.css Firstly, the background of the navigation bar at the top of the page should remain grey at all times apart from when a link is hovered, in which case it changes to blue. This is happening in both browsers, but in Internet explorer, only part of the background is changing as opposed to all of it. It's easier to show this than to explain, so I've posted two screenshots below to demonstrate. The first screenshot shows the navigation bar in Firefox, the second shows the same bar in Internet Explorer. I'm assuming this is probably something to do with the padding values I have assigned, but I have been unable to find a working solution for all browsers. Also, I'm having a problem with the left margin of my main page content. The margins down the left side of the main page should all be 20px from the left hand border, and this shows correctly again in Firefox. However, in Internet Explorer, the left margin of the navigation bar appears correctly, but the content beneath it appears to have a much larger margin and as such the layout appears incorrectly. If anyone has any idea how to fix these problems then I would very much appreciate the advice. Thanks. one line of text isn't in the position that i want it to be for ff and ie. Chrome is able to read the css code: chrome: Code: p1 {
line-height: 1.3em;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
display: block;
-webkit-margin-befo 5.4em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
-webkit-margin-start: 220px;
-webkit-margin-end: 0px;
}
ff,ie: p1{ line-height: 1.3em; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; } I want the " learning from questions" at the bottom right of the logo. Thanks for helping! site link: http://www.nyitforums.com/ Hi everyone A bit of a call for help with some niggly issues - all found on the following page and css: http://www.crashingbydesign.com.au/rsaa/index.html http://www.crashingbydesign.com.au/rsaa/home.css 1. Two of the absolutely positioned divs don't show up at all in IE6, but they're fine in Opera 7.5 and Firefox 1.0PR. The ones with id's "title" and "utility" are the problem ones and I can't see what the problem is with IE. In addition to this, this div shows up in a different position in both Opera and Firefox (10 pixels higher in Opera). Please help!! 2. The links in the "mainnav" div are only clickable either at the very top of the <a> element (Firefox) or the very bottom of the <a> element (Opera), however in IE the whole <a> element is completely clickable. I can't see any element that is overlapping. What is going on?? All help appreciated. Cheers Bevester You'll have to bear with me on the CSS, the file is a mess. I couldn't get it to do what I want, so I had to copy the file from someplace else, so there's alot of code commented out. The HTML is much cleaner though! The issue is in the image above is that the 'Contact' and 'Back to Projects' images are too high in Safari. In IE and Firefox they're placed correctly. All the other images on the rest of the site line up fine, as you can see with the JW logo, Resume link, and even the bar across the screen All the images are in their own < li > (I think it's weird myself, but it works). And the placement is done in the CSS. Code:
<li id="ResumeHigh"><a href="resume.asp" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('resume','','images/resume_rollover.gif',1)"><img src="images/resume.gif" name="resume" border="0" id="about" /></a></li>
<li id="ContactHigh"><a href="contact.asp" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('contact','','images/contact_rollover.gif',1)"><img src="images/contact.gif" name="contact2" border="0" id="contact2" /></a></li>
<li id="BackHigh"><a href="index.asp" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Back','','images/back_to_proj_rollover.gif',1)"><img src="images/back_to_proj.gif" name="Back" width="141" height="9" border="0" id="Back" /></a></li>
And the CSS Alignment: Code:
#ResumeHigh {left:550px; top: 62px; width: 141px; height: 11px;}
#ContactHigh {left:550px; top: 78px; width: 141px; height: 11px;}
#BackHigh {left: 550px; top: 101px; width:141px; height:9px;}
Full Pages: http://www.jerrywatersarchitect.com/sample/contact.asp http://www.jerrywatersarchitect.com/sample/jw2.css Any ideas whats causing the 'Contact' and 'Back to Projects' to be a few pixels too high? I appreciate any help you can provide. 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 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 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. 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, 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! 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! 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. 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? The main body text in IE stays within the width I gave it, but in Firefox, it just goes off the div, its all not showing becasue I have the containing div overflow:hidden, but why won't it stay in the fixed width div, 603px, in Firefox like it does in IE? mediacontour.com/TCS/frequently-asked-questions.php |
