CSS - Float Not Working Correctly
Maybe I'm just missing something here, but I can't get the right column of the search box to align at the top. At first I thought it had something to do with the specified widths, but that did not work. I'm sure this is a quick fix, I can't seem to figure it out though. Thanks.
The site Code:
<div id="searchbox">
<h2 id="searchbox_header">Browse Bus Rates and Amenities</h2>
<p style="padding-left: 5px; ">Search by Bus Type:<br />
<select name="bustype">
<option selected value="">All Bus Types</option>
<option value="1" >Deluxe Motor Coach</option>
<option value="7" >Double Decker</option>
<option value="4" >Entertainer</option>
<option value="5" >Executive</option>
<option value="9" >Limo Bus</option>
<option value="2" >Minibus</option>
<option value="3" >School Bus</option>
<option value="0" >Tour Operator</option>
<option value="6" >Trolley</option>
<option value="8" >Van</option>
</select></p>
<p style="padding-left: 5px; ">Departure State / Province:<br />
<select name="state" onChange="buildCity('','');"><option selected value=""> - No state selected - </option>
</select></p>
<p style="padding-left: 5px; ">Departure City / Metro Area:<br />
<select name="city">
<option value="">Entire State</option>
</select></p>
<div id="searchboxrightcol">

Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow.

I can hardly believe my eyes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong... I have a div with 5px borders and 5px padding on each side. My php does a browser detect, and pulls the appropriate css file. In the IE stylesheet, I have the div's width set to 820px (800px + 5px + 5px +5px + 5px = 820px) as described as part of the Tan Box Hack (which wasn't working right for some reason). In the Mozilla stylesheet, I have the width set to 800px, because, well, that's how wide it's supposed to be. Now, when I open IE6 and Firefox, and send them both to the page, IE renders the box somewhat larger than the box in FF. What's even stranger is, when I set the width in the IE stylesheet to 800px, it renders correctly, matching the width rendered by FF. Any thoughts on this? I can post my code if you really wanna see it, but I figured you'd all understand what I'm trying to describe... I uploaded the page I am working on to http://sulley.dm.ucf.edu/~ebuccianti/wtf/. I want that text at the top of the page to begin a certain number of pixels down from the top of the div, so I tried to set padding-top to that number of pixels, but for some reason Firefox is extending the bottom of the div by that number of pixels as well. I have done this before and I have never had this problem. What the hell am I doing wrong this time?? Download the page he http://sulley.dm.ucf.edu/~ebuccianti/wtf/index.php Download the stylesheet he http://sulley.dm.ucf.edu/~ebuccianti/wtf/style.css Please help! Hello everyone, Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I have a single page for a site I'm creating located he simplethoughts.com/test/index.html The css file for the page is located he simplethoughts.com/test/css/screen.css The main navigation is using suckerfish style dropdowns which work fine in IE7, firefox, and opera. However, when I try the page in IE6 or 5.5, the dropdowns 'drop' about 100px too low and WAY to the right of where they're supposed to and I can't seem to figure out why. Thanks again for any help...it's extremely appreciated! -Neil Some reason, the body/html/whatever the hell IE uses as its root, doesn't auto-expand past 100%, meaning vertical scrolling can't occur. What could be going wrong here? Attached is html and css, the relevant css is at top, and is readable, the unreadable css isn't relevant I am using a transparent png file for a background, obviously this will not work in IE so I am using the AlphaImageLoader hack. Unfortunately I am not sure why but the results are not as expected. Here is my CSS: PHP Code: .wrap[class] { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: -21px; width: 760px; top: 21px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; left: 0px; background-image: url(../images/content_bg.png); text-align: left; } * html .wrap { height:100%; padding-bottom: -20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: -21px; width: 760px; top: 21px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; left: 0px; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='../images/content_bg.png'); text-align: left; } The first attachment is IE and the second is Firefox (the correct one). I can't seem to find out how to solve this. Hi, I'm puzzling with an annoying thing quite some time now so I decided to ask for some help. On a website called 'Unlock LG online' (can't post links :S, if you use that exact search term the first result in google) when you select a model and thus go to, for example: 'Unlock LG online U990' 2nd search result in google (again can't place links) you can see the photo of the phone to the right and some text at the left. Now in FF and IE8 no problem at all. But in IE6 and 7 it is not floating but the text just goes under the 'not floating' image. Now I though the double margin bug so I added 'display: inline' (also tried position: inline) but that doesn't work either. I've been playing with the margins and padding but no luck either.. in other words I have no clue any more.. Please give me some tips. Thanks! Best regards, I'm relatively new to CSS and I am struggling with my style sheet for IE. I've put my images in div's and applied a float to them. It looks great in FF and Chrome, but not so much in IE. Being a new user to the forum, my url has been blocked. The site is swampasspowder dot com. Any help or comments are appreciated. Hello I'm a photographer trying to code my site myself, I'm a control freak and trying to learn css but coding is not my thing. I have two different rollover effects on my page but only one part is working. The links on the right of photo function correctly when I hover over them, but the links on top don't change as they should. a link to my css file Can anyone help me on this? I believe i have the order correct (a:hover follows link and visited) but i'm sure it's an easy fix. Sadly, not for me.

the problem is that it appears that only column-2 and column-1 maybe are floating to the left properly. anyone got some suggestions on whats wrong http://whittierpunks.com/test/bio.html and stylesheet In the CENTER <div>, I want to have some text, with an image floated to the right. It's basic; there is no problem with an internal stylesheet (like the example at w3c)...but as you can see from my exapmle, its not doing that at all. And I'm not sure where the problem lies Could someone show me how to correct this? Many thanks, When i float my div to the left, i cant seem to get the text to align right, can someone show me a way out of this horriable predicament i have found my self in!! HTML: Code:

I've only just started using CSS rather than tables. The title bit is ok. The problem is the main <div>. In Firefox l can't seem to get the two divs (grouptitle1 & grouptitle2) to float side by side. The only way l can do it is by setting grouptitle2 to a certain width. But l want grouptitle2 to fill the remaining width of the screen whatever size the browser is and not be a set width. Is there any way so that l can make the two divs appear side by side without adding a width to the grouptitle2?? here's a working version: Clicky subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi, First, I'm using the javascript/tutorial from http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ Visit http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/ . The spacing inbetween each image is fine, it's how I want it to be. However, view it in Mozilla first then in IE. Notice something? In Mozilla it does what it's supposed to correctly - have the 'main' background turn blue, and the sub-menu background turn green. However, in IE, this makes BOTH the 'main' and sub-menu background green, instead of keeping the main one blue. I have tried for the past 15 minutes trying to figure this out, but came up empty. I believe it's a problem in the javascript hover code, located in sfhover.js.... since that's what controls IE's hover and it works fine in Mozilla Could you look at the code and tell me whats wrong? http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/ http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/styles/xcage.css http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/scripts/sfhover.js Thanks. This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;

MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page.

I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. hello all, my site is at waxmuseumplus dot ie css file is on the top level called layout.css I've put my site up and it works fine except that sometimes when you go to another page and comeback to the homepage the swf files don't position correctly. The real bizarre thing is that if you reload the page (maybe not on the first try but maybe the second try) it appears fine again. there are 6 swf files at the bottom right corner of the blue boxes across the page. They create the page curl animation at the bottom right. 9 out of 10 times they all load in position correctly but sometimes they don't. They appear further down the page. I think the fix is in the "a" link which i've wrapped around the div pagecurl and div textabove. I had this original set to 100% height. But i have now given it a 150px height. This doesn't fix anything though? The problem is that it is intermittent. Of course it looks fine my FF3 and when i test on others but when the client checks she sees errors. Please help I'm tearing my hair out and the site is already live! Surprise, surprise. I'm using a very simple example of a tabbed interface. Each tab is its own div with a border and a bgcolor. As you will see, IE is displaying the tabs such that they hang 1px over their background container while FF displays as expected. I'm thinking it has something to do with the float but can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me why the navigation does not align with the logo on the left? I would like the bottom of each element to be along the same line. I can't figure out what is pushing it up. Thanks |
