CSS - Problem With Clear Property In Firefox
Hey guys...I'm having a problem with the clear property in firefox adding a large space between a float element and the element that is being cleared. The code is below:
HTML Code: Code: <body>
<div id="header">
<div id="topAd">
Top ad - Premium Placement
</div>
<div id="logobox">
<div id="sitestats">
Stat 1: stat<br />
Stat 2: stat<br />
stat 3: stat
</div>
<img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Logo Image"/>
<div id="topnav">
this is the top navigation
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
and the CSS Code: Code: body,form,ul,li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 9pt;
font-family: helvitica,arial;
color: #333;
}
#header {
display: block;
border: 1px solid orange;
}
#topAd {
display: block;
background-color: #333;
color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
}
#logobox {
display: block;
vertical-align: bottom;
border: 1px solid green;
height: auto;
}
#sitestats {
float: right;
font-size: 8.5pt;
border: 1px solid yellow;
height: auto;
}
#topnav {
clear: both;
background-color: #333;
color: #FFF;
text-align: right;
padding-right: 0.2em;
}
Now this code works fine in IE, but in Firefox, the cleared element seems to get a very large space between the float and the cleared element. Any help would be appreciated. Similar Tutorialsi have divs on a page, and the ones appearing on the left don't use any style (style=""), where as on the ones appearing on the right use (style="float: right; clear: right;") in IE 6 and 7, it creates the needed visuals found in the first attachted file (ie 7.gif).. as is seen, it clears the content so that the end of the divs are always in line, so that the next divs can begin properly in line in mozilla firefox (mozzila firefox.gif), it does not obey this idea, and simple starts the next divs after the end of the above ones.. you can imagine how problematic this is when some divs on the right contain ALOT of words, that should be inline with the one of the left, etc any thoughts or anything that could help would be apprciated... regards Hi, In IE7 or IE6 clear works differently than in any other browser. I would show you my test page, but I can't post a url apparently. Anyways, is there a fix for this or an explanation? I have tried in vain to find any information about this on Google. I thought a following sibling float can't be higher than its previous sibling. Thanks! Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Trying to use css to make a border around an element, and am using: .navbar { border: 1px solid red; } In IE, it puts a border around the navigational bar, but in FF, it only puts 1 line above it. Even if I try independently adding: border-left border-right border-bottom etc, it only shows above for border-top and border-bottom and nothing for left and right. I can place the code if needed, but I really just have a few words typed to try and get this to work. It's of strict doctype if that matters. Does FF have something special I need to add to get border to work? Thanks. hello all, I am not very well experienced with CSS, so, please, bear with me. this question may sound stupid. I have a web page that is comprised of one main table. Except for the banner on top (1 column), the main row has two columns. These columns will comprise of: 1) left column: Menu 2) right column: page content. In the left column, the menu, I would like to have a background image sitting behind the menu. I have attempted to use CSS to put an image behind the menu: Code: .menu_back {background: url('Pics/Web/menu_background.jpg') no-repeat #ffffff;}
And my html looks like this: Code: <table width = "100%" class = "menu_back"> This does not work. After scouring the web without any real success , I humbly ask for ur help. I am designing for Firefox hoping it will work fine under IE. Thanking u in advance. Hi, I have faced a strange issue with the CSS overflow property while using nested DIVs.The DIV with class main has the DIV main-1a as its child which in turn has the DIV with class main-1a-child as its child. As the height of main is not fixed, so it is supposed to increase with main-1a and main-1a-child. But in Mozila FireFox, the height of main is not getting increased with the child DIVs. When the overflow property is set to hidden in main, then only the height of main gets increased with its childs. The issue is fine in IE6 regardless of the overflow property. Any help/explanation in this regard will be very helpful. <html> <head> <title>My Page</title> <style type="text/css"> .main { position:relative; width:800px; display:block; border:1px solid #000000; margin:auto; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; background:#BABB99; height:100%; overflow:hidden; } .main-1a { width:780px; float:left; background:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #FF0000; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; } .main-1a-child { width:760px; float:left; border:1px solid #000000; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; background:#BABB99; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="main-1a"> <div class="main-1a-child"> <p>text of div1 a2</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> <p>snkjkjsd</p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> hello all, once again, IE is presenting problems where everything else is just fine. specifically, my footer isn't clearing. i've looked around and apparently this is nothing new, but none of the fixes seem to be working. so first, the offending page (one look in IE and all will be understood instantly): http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/news/headline.php?id=12 i've made the footer RED to indicate the snafu in IE. relevant CSS (i stripped out unnecessary crap): #content { float:left; display:block; margin:0 0 25px } #content .full { float:left; width:500px; padding-right:15px; border-right:solid 2px #CCC } #rightSideBar { float:left; padding-left:15px; width:207px } #footer { clear:both; padding:20px 0; background:red url(/images/footerBG.gif) repeat-x top } HAAAAALLLLLPPP thanks m Hi, Im not sure whats going wrong with this, but I have two DIV elements on the page: 1st div "googleMap" CSS for googleMap: #googleMap { height: 300px; width: 500px; float: left; } 2nd div "page_right" CSS for page_right: #page_right { width: 300px; clear: left; float: right; } Could someone please tell me why page_right DIV is not clearing the googleMap div? I've just about had enough so hope some kind person will no the answer!! Here is the live page (showing the flaw): belvoir-mortgages.co.uk/contact.php Thanks Lee Hi, I have a problem with the following page, basically the second album blocks (labelled "2006, Carnival") won't start until the navigation menu on the left has finished: http://www.realsteel.org.uk/photos/ The following page suffers a similar problem, with the address not starting until the navigation menu on the left has finished: http://www.realsteel.org.uk/contact/ in this case I thought I could fix it by removing the clear on .contact_system .area but then this broke the formatting of the address. Can I apologise in advance for the poor shape of my CSS and XHTML, I'm in the position of not having anything enough time to spend on this aspect of the project. I find that I only get to work on the CSS / XHTML side of things every few months or less, consequently each time I look at it I've forgotten what I learnt the last time and am back to square one. I also find that I don't know why I did what I did the last time! I hope someone can find it in their time to assist! All constructive criticism is very much welcome, whether to do with the above problem or not. Thanks, Geoff I have some simple code that works in all recent browsers, including IE8+. But with some people out there still using IE7, for which it does something odd, and I've been asked to make it work with that as well. I've dumbed it down to it's basics, and it's just easiest to see with a visual. http://www.poweredpages.com/test.php I have four boxes, labeled 1 through 4. It's supposed to wrap at 3, with 4 to the right of that box. In IE7, It wraps at 3 (correctly, because of the clear), but then box 4, which has a float:left after the cleared 3 box, jumps back up to the 1 and 2 row. Any thoughts on how do get this working with the least amount of editing would be appreciated. In real life, I have the left boxes as a class "label" and the right boxes as another class "input", so if I could just add something to one of these classes and be done w/ it, that would be great. Of course, I could put another entire DIV around each row to fix this, but that would require altering a whole bunch of code. Thanks!

Hi gyus! I am trying to recode an form we use, which is based on table layout, to use CSS layout instead, using the label element. The old layout had one input per row with a description text next to the input. After coming up with a successful CSS layout in Safari/Firefox/Opera I tried the page in IE and the layout failed. All my inputs are floated to the left (at the top, stacked after each other), but the labels are rendered correctly (one label per line) It seems like the label elements doesn't seem to clear the float (so that the label and inputs are aligned) I broke the code down to the following example: (sorry guys, I don't have the possibility to put it on an publicly accessible server) Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" []> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Testing</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css"/> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8;"/> </head> <body> <form name="service" action="label2.html" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div> <label for="audio_level">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level1">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level1" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level2">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level2" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level3">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level3" value="0"/> </div> </form> </body> </html> And the CSS: Code:
body {
width:800px;
}
label {
display:block;
float:left;
clear:left;
width:100px;
text-align:left;
}
input {
display:block;
float:left;
width:100px;
}
Applying a <br> element with clear:left after each input seems to fix it, but I is adding extra markup really necessary? I can't figure out what I am missing to get the one label/input per "line" I have a pretty typical three column layout with col1 floating left, col2 in the middle and col3 floating right. The HTML calls the divs in order of col1,col3,col2 and everything generally works fine with the exception of using a div in the middle column (col2) with a style that has clear:both in it. The clear:both clears all items in the sidebar columns and not just in the middle column (which is what I want). The problem can be seen at the below URLs. wwwDOTjessiekpowellDOTcom/2009/08/kristin-cavallari-filming-on-malibu-beach-for-the-hills/ and wwwDOTjessiekpowellDOTcom/2009/10/alessandra-ambrosio-bikini-photo-shoot/ As you will see the second set of images from the gallery is displayed after a huge gap of white space after it has cleared the last div in the right sidebar. What I want is to just clear the first row of images in the middle column. This does not just affect images but anything with a div style=clear:both Any suggestions will be appreciated as I've exhausted my skills on this one. www.asticafe.com Can anyone tell me why the right column is clearing the left images? It only happens in IE, not modern browsers like Firefox or Safari. What's causing it and how can I fix it? I've tried playing around with "clear:none" and "float:right" properties for the right column, but it just makes the problem worse. ...I am having a problem with images, they display correctly in mozilla firefox (i.e above the text) but incorrectly in internet explorer. I think it may be due to the float and/or clear functions or maybe the z-index function. here is the htm file... http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/...and here is the css file http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/style.css . Help appreciated. Teeb(s) Hello, I'm trying to float an image inside a content div that is inside a wrapper div that already has a float left (nav) div earlier in the html. I know that this means that the floated image div will not be cleared until after the already floating nav div, since this is the one that comes earlier in the html and is quite large. It leaves a large gap until it clears the nav div. I have tried a couple of things, here is the page I'm working on and this is the css file This hasn't been tested on Windows, so I have no idea how it looks. It has been tested on the Mac: Safari, Opera, Netscape and Firefox display as described above, but IE Mac is way off whack. The current setup of the page is this: HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="breadcrumb"><a href="http://www.huntacular.com/">Homepage</a></div> <div class="image1"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="red">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p> </div> <div class="image2"> <img class="right" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="orange">Donec accumsan. Pellentesque ac est vitae sapien scelerisque auctor. Nunc pede diam, interdum vel, dictum ut, egestas eget, metus. Maecenas eget sapien.</p> </div> <div class="another3"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="blue">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui.

Is there a work around? I thought I'd found one in the third attempt - the one with blue text, but I'm not sure if I've implemented it correctly. Also, IE Mac isn't doing any of these correctly either (well, nearly the second one, but I haven't tested this stuff on Windows either. Is there a solution? Hi all, I've spent several hours to solve this problem, but found nothing working . The problem (well, there are much more problems ) is that I use 2-cols layout, so the left column (menu) is floating left. And now I need in the one page's head to get 2 images, one aligned to the left, the other to the right and actual text of the headings. I've found 2 good solution: 1) Classic, use float:left on one image, float:right on the other, and text-align: center on the headings. First thing I don't understand, why the image on the right is moved down? You can see it here. Then, the clear property should be used to force the headings to end bottom the images, but clear can't be used, because it also clears the menu (floating to the left) so the headings ends bottom the menu. 2) Using absolute/relative positioning - headigns can be made relatively positioned, images absolutely, one with left:0 and the other with right:0, but then the contents following after the headings is moved to the top, mixed with the heading. Similar problem is being solved in this thread, but I didn't found there anything working . Can anybody help, please? Here are used CSS: Web.css, Fotogalerie.css. Hi, Here's my problem: css Code: Original - css Code <div style="width:69%; text-align:center; float:left;"> <div style="width:80%; min-height: 98px; border: black thin solid;"> BLEH </div> </div> <div style="width:30%; text-align:center; float:right;"> RIGHT </div> <div style="width:69%; text-align:center; float:left;"> The above code, should in theory make two "cells", one on the left and one on the right, side by side. Within the left one there should be another box, aligned centrally. This is fine in internet explorer, yet in Firefox & similar browsers it refuses to do this - I'm sure this is something very simple. Many thanks, Alan I'm having a problem with a float property placing a nested div outside of a parent box. I've ran validation on both the XHTML/CSS. Both are coming up with no errors. Heres the DIV snippet: Code: <!-- Div snippet -->
<!-- start main -->

<div class="mainbx">

<!-- top left -->

</div>

</div> <!-- end mainbx -->
<div id="footer">footer text</div>
</div> <!-- end main -->
If I place a float property in the left or right col ID, the whole ID is placed outside of the mainbx class. For instance: Code: /* example w float */
#rightcol {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 35px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how it looks: http://b.imagehost.org/0176/inc_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! Now if I remove the float and add a position property: Code: #rightcol {
position:relative;
right:-320px;
top:-190px;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how the rightcol is placed: http://d.imagehost.org/0643/cor_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! It seems better, but if the black box is re-sized eventually it will end up outside mainbx class ( the purple box ). This leads me to belive that the problem has something to do with nesting. The weird thing is if I add lots of text to the black dialog box, mainbx re-sizes. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks for any help or ideas. I seem to be having some problems formatting a <ul><li> element. you can view the page he http://jjs5327.aisites.com/IMD331/index.php a description of the problem is that the "quick links" section has an unordered list that in firefox 3 has an indent but in explorer looks the way I want it too. below is my code: Code:

border:1px solid #666666;
width:115px;
height:200px;
float:left;
clear:both;
}
