CSS - Strange - Absolute Positioned Element Acting Funny
Hi everyone.
I have a header section to my website, and to line up the navigation to the top of the bottom most element, I used absolute positioning to acheive this inside a relative positioned element. The strange thing is is that when first loaded, the absolutely positioned navigation is pulled completely from the parent relative div and shoved to the top of the screen. However, on refresh it jumps to where it should be per the css. Here's the CSS... Code:
#hd {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 780px;
margin: 30px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #0099CC;
}
#hdlogo {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
}
#hdnav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#hdnav ul {
position: absolute;
bottom: 16px;
right: 0;
height: 22px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#hdnav ul li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#hdnav ul li a:link img, #hdnav ul li a:visited img {
border: 0;
}
#hdbar {
clear: right;
width: 780px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
And the HTML... Code: <div id="hd"> <div id="hdlogo"> <img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Home" title="Home"/> </div> <div id="hdnav"> <ul> <li><a href="index.htm"><img src="images/home.gif" alt="Home" title="Home" /></a></li> <li><a href="aboutus.htm"><img src="images/aboutus.gif" alt="About us" title="About us" /></a></li> <li><a href="performance.htm"><img src="images/performance.gif" alt="Performance" title="Performance" /></a></li> <li><a href="aesthetics.htm"><img src="images/aesthetics.gif" alt="Aesthetics" title="Aesthetics" /></a></li> <li><a href="sustainability.htm"><img src="images/sustainability.gif" alt="Sustainability" title="Sustainability" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="hdbar"> <img src="images/hd-bar.gif" alt="" title="" /> <!-- hd-bar is 780px wide by 16px high --> </div> </div> Just for further knowledge, here's the body tag, and the two container wraps for the rest of the site... Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #555759;
}
body a:link, body a:visited {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #555759;
}
body a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #555759;
}
#content {
width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
#allwrap {
float: left;
width: 780px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#content centers everything and #allwrap is a container for all it's child elements. I've also had a colleague that said in IE 6.0 that the navigation stacks, rather than displays inline. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch.. -Brian Similar TutorialsI'm using a relative-positioned div as a container for an image, which is absolute-positioned. I'm doing this so that the image will automatically scale down to fit inside the containing div (nothing else I've tried has done this for me- so if there is another way to achieve this, please fill me in). This part works fine, but the image isn't as wide as the containing div, so I would like to center the image inside the div- but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried the obvious text-align:center in the div. That actually worked... kinda. The image's left-side was in the center of the div, but obviously isn't the 'centering' that I'm looking for. I then tried setting margin-left and margin-right on the image to auto, and that did nothing. I suspect that the fact that I have my image absolute-positioned is the culprit here, but I don't know how to get around it- or IF I can get around it without drastically changing my approach. Admittedly, the container div resides inside a table cell. I know that isn't the best practice, but I spent so much time trying a div-only approach only to waste time and become frustrated that I went back to what I know works- at least for now. I tried removing the container div from the table and inserting the image directly to the table cell- but encountered more issues with the sizing of the image. Essentially, my code is something like this: CSS: Code:
td#CONTENTDISPLAY
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}
div#CONTENTBANNER
{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
img.CONTENTIMG
{
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
}
HTML: Code:
...
<td id="CONTENTDISPLAY">
<div id="CONTENTBANNER">
<img class="CONTENTIMG" />
</div>
</td>
...
Nothing flashy, I know. One thing I should mention, however, is that the image is ALWAYS placed inside the container div using a Javascript function (it's a dynamic image). I doubt that makes a difference, but I figure it's worth mentioning. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

hey guys JonnoWalmsley.com is giving me grief. I have a nav bar which is position:absolute; bottom:0px (so stuk to the bottom of the screen at all times, with the appropriate z-index etc). It works fine on FF, but IE seems to be starting from the center of the page, which effectively pushes the nav bar over to the right, and partially off the screen on smaller screens. Code: <div style="position:fixed; bottom:0px; background-color:#0a2a1a; width:899px;">...nav links...</div> I need IE to render the same as FF, and start the nav panel from the left. Any ideas? IE Screenshot FF Screenshot We don't use position absolute for anything else on our site, but it seems that our drop down still goes under some content. Here is the css: Code:
#nav {
background-image: url('../images/nav-full-bg.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 967px;
height: 69px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}

It seems strange to me if I begin a page with: body{text-align: center} and a following div with a wrapper: #wrapper{position: absolute; top: 0px} that this would push everything to the left or the right depending on the browser. It seems the logical thing to occur would be that the body tag would shift everything to the center and the wrapper would simply press up to the top of the screen. My problem is fixed simply by changing the position to relative for the wrapper, but I'm curious why that's the case. Thanks. I'm trying to place an absolutely positioned layer over other layers. It works in everything but Windows IE (surprise). If you remove the 'main' <DIV> it works fine (unfortunately, that is not an option). http://www.tuttobellotrouve.com/newsite/tuttobello/testpage.html CSS is internal. You SHOULD be able to see a small frame with a gift package in it, floating over a narrow horizontal box. Ideas? Thanks, Brad I cannot get the footer to sit at the bottom of the page when I use absolute positioning. I need the #main to stretch to whatever the content height and the footer to sit underneath. I know its fairly easy to achieve with relative positioning but I need absolute positioning for for other elements. Can anyone help? html, body {height:100%;} #container { width: 900px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 50%; margin-left: -450px; } #header { width: 900px; height: 105px; position: absolute; left:0; top: 0; } #main { position: absolute; left:0; top: 105px; } #footer { position:absolute; bottom:0; border: 1px solid yellow; } I'm make a simple display:hidden , display:visiable "pop up" div box. The popup works wonderful in FF but IE, the button does not display. Here is my full page (short and simple) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

popUp.style.visibility = "visible";
}

{
var popUp = document.getElementById(div_id);

}

margin-top: -100px;
visibility: hidden;
overflow: hidden;

}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="#" onClick="DIVshow('popupcontent');">Click here</a> to open the popup.</p>
<div id="popupcontent">
<p>This is a popup window!</p>
<input type="button" value="close" onClick="DIVhide('popupcontent');" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
Working sample can be seen he Click Here It works in both IE and FF if I write my hidden div tag like this: Code: <div id="popupcontent">
<div>
<p>This is a popup window!</p>
<input type="button" value="close"
onClick="DIVhide('popupcontent');" />
</div>
</div>
Obviously I want to avoid the extra div tags if possible. Anybody know what happening here and how to fix it? Thanks! Hi. I have a page with 3 absolutely positioned columns. I want the footer to set right underneath the main content. Currently I have a container for the main content and a footer <div> that sits outside of this container. However, certain browsers (NN7 & IE6) are pushing the footer down too far. Anyone know how I can control this? Here's my css: #container{ position:relative; height:100%; width:780px; } #footer { position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; clear:both; } Hi all, I want to place a piece of text directly below an item that has a 'position: absolute' style on it, but when I put a div in there for the new text, it just places the text at the top of that absolute positioned item. Is there any way to get past this apart from floating the item? Cheers. I have created a 2-column liquid layout that works perfectly in Safari, FF(Win & Mac), Netscape(Win & Mac), IE5(Mac) and IE6(Win). In IE5 and 5.5 (Win) I don't get any images. the images are all position:absolute, with their containers set to position: relative. I tried them at first as simple image tags with a class assigned. I then tried to wrap them in Divs with ids. I also messed a little with the z-indexes. Nothing has worked so far. The HTML...

Is there any way to position the nested div relative to its grandparent vs. its parent without losing the relative positioning, or is JS the only option? hello, i have a centered element and i would like to create an absolutely positioned div that attaches to the left side of the centered div. ive been following this resource which states: Quote: #wrapper {position: relative; width: 760px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; } This will make an inner element that you absolutely position at, for example, top: 0; left: 0; appear at the top left corner of the wrapper, and not of the the top left of the entire window. and so my css is: Code:
body {
background-image: url(../images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;}
#container {
position:relative;
border: 4px #99968F solid;
width:587px;
margin: 20px auto;}
#left_block {
position:absolute ; top: 0px; left: 0px;
width: 299px;
height: 209px;
background-image: url(../images/mediaplayer_bg.png);}
what is happening though is that the left block is in the top left of the window and not the top left of the centred div. does anyone know how i can get this in the top left of the centred div and then ultimately to the left of the centred div (is a negative value possible?) thank you!

Any suggestions to getting the span width to set properly, based upon the content of the span would be a great help. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Span test</title> <style TYPE="text/css"> .submenu { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #D4BA6B; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 0px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; min-width: 100px; visibility: visible; z-index: 1; } .submenuItem { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000; border-right: 2px solid #ff0000; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff0000; border-top: 2px solid #ff0000; font-family: "arial narrow", arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; position: absolute; z-index: 1; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; } </style> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function getWidth() { oSpan = document.getElementById("testSpan"); iWidth1 = oSpan.offsetWidth; alert ("Width1 = " + iWidth1); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body onload="getWidth()"> <div class="submenu"> <span class="submenuItem" id="testSpan">This is the item that I am testing today.</span> </div> </body> </html> I'm working on a pet project on the off chance that I could be hired by a small business referral organization in the city where I live, so this isn't super urgent. I'm also not a web developer by trade, more IT, so if I make any obvious mistakes, feel free to point them out. I've got a simple absolute-positioned two-column layout and a two-color background that I want to tile vertically behind it. The problem seems to be that the browsers ( IE and FF, haven't tried chrome/safari/opera) seem to think that the body ends at the bottom of the logo I set on top, and won't tile it beyond the bottom of the image.

Our networking model is predicated on the idea that people do business with people they know, trust, and like. Our members know that they can confidently refer business to a member and the referral will be handled in a timely, professional manner. In addition, we encourage members to meet outside of the weekly meetings for one-on-one Strategic Marketing Sessions (SMS). An SMS usually takes the form of a lunch or coffee, and gives members time to discover in a more relaxed environment things about other members that don't surface at the regular weekly meetings. </p> </div> <div id="footer"> <p>Site built by Robert Greenstreet</p> </div> </div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: html

Also, I'm working on getting that footer centered about 30px from the bottom of the page, without running up into whatever content may be above it. I think I might be able to figure that one out on my own, though. Like I said, no rush. This isn't a paid gig hi, I've run into a bit of a problem... I'm trying to set up a drop down menu in my navigation bar. I'm using the method from www.gazingus.org/html/menuDropdown.html it works except for the fact that it hides behind a relatively positioned element - sa-ewb.org.uk/trial/about_us.htm can I use z-index to fix this? I'd really appreciate some help on this! thanks, Jim. What causes this? I have my small login form absolutely positioned relative to the content div, and it displays differently when there is/isn't content in it... have a look Test you can click the link to remove the data and position the bitlogin div as it is supposed to be... when the content is added, the bitlogin div moves down approx. 13px... What's the deal? The goal of the following code is to have a search box with several tabs above it to narrow down the search. The issue is that the design calls for a little upside down triangle to appear below the tab and bleed into the text box. The code works great in Firefox and even in IE6 where the Doctype was switched to HTML 3.2. I'm using 4.01 Transitional and noticing that the arrow doesn't center itself below the tab, rather it centers itself in the entire page. If I take out the width: 100% from .searchbox li.active .downarrow, then both browsers behave the same, although the downarrow now appears in the left bottom corner of the tab rather than the center. Note that I've stripped most of the code away to narrow down the issue. Code:
<style>
.searchbox ul { float: left; padding-left: 10px; list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 10px 0 0 0; }
.searchbox li { float: left; }
.searchbox li .downarrow { display: none; }
.searchbox li a { display: block; float: left; font-size: 12px; padding: 3px; color: #213327; }
.searchbox li.active { position: relative; }
.searchbox li.active a { color: #fff; border: 1px solid #b3b2b0; background: #266d1e url('/c2footsearchbg.jpg') repeat-x scroll top left; }
.searchbox li.active a:hover { text-decoration: none; }
.searchbox li.active .downarrow { display: block; position: absolute; bottom: -9px; width: 100%; height: 10px; text-align: center; margin: auto; }
.searchbox div { clear: both; display: inline-block; }
.searchbox input.txt { border: 2px solid #999; padding: 5px 0 0 3px; width: 305px; height: 30px; }
.searchbox input.submit { font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: #fff; width: 71px; height: 30px; border: 0; background: transparent url('/c2searchbutton.jpg') no-repeat scroll top left; vertical-align: top; cursor: pointer; }
.searchbox input.submit:hover { background-position: 0 -30px; }
</style>
