CSS - <li> Making Adjacent Copy Indent?
I actually am having two problems, the one I alluded to in the subject and one I posted previously but got no response. This time, I'm including a URL and a CSS link in the hopes that someone might be able to help me out.
The problem I posted earlier is regarding my navigation column and footer being omitted about 80% of the time in IE5/Win. Obviously, that's a huge problem. Of the browsers I've tested, it only happens in IE5/Win. The second problem is a bizarre issue regarding list items and the copy of the website. For some reason, in both IE5/Win and IE6/Win, the copy in the main column is slightly indented when there are list items (i.e. my navigation links!). This doesn't happen in any other browser I've tested and let me tell you, it's really cramping my style, because it makes the copy look like crap. Anyway, here's the URL of a test page: I've removed the page link. And here's the CSS link: http://dev.homedecorbuyer.com/stylesheets/default.css * Note: about 8 lines of CSS are on a different stylesheet, but only have to do with color and the header graphic. Please help. Whenever I can lend a helping hand on this forum, I post; it's my way of paying it forward. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsSo I'm trying to be "proper" and move from tables to divs. But one thing keeps getting me. Say I have a shadow that is to the left and right of my center content page. Easy enough w/ tables. (I'm really dumbing this all down). <table> <tr> <td background="images/shadow.gif"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td> <td>My content here<br /><br /><br />etc.</td> <td background="images/shadow_r.gif"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></td> </tr> </table> In tables, that height of the left and right cells automatically move with the content of the right cell, so that if there's more or less text, the shadow gets longer or shorter. Now, this is how I'm seeing DIVs would work. <div style="float:left; background-image:url(../images/shadow.gif);background-position:top right; background-repeat:repeat-y;"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></div> <div style="float:left">My content here<br /><br /><br />etc.</div> <div style="float:left; background-image:url(../images/shadow_r.gif);background-position:top left; background-repeat:repeat-y;"><img src="images/spacer.gif"></div> But in this case, the divs to the left and right do not automatically adjust to be the height of the div in the center. So I just get one pixel of height for the shadow "cells". Is there a way to use CSS and still do this? Thanks, JBL Internet Explorer 7 has an odd way of dealing with adjacent left and right floats in a container without set width. Instead of leaving the parent div to its natural content width as a float, IE7 forces the right-floating div to float right until it meets an element with a fixed width, or otherwise the document margin. IE8 and other browsers float the items correctly. The example below was meant to do a menu with rounded buttons, the two rounded images floated to the left and right edges of the button containing the text. The button should only be the width of the text link plus the rounding divs. This is easily fixed by adding a fixed width to the floating container div. However this may not always be the desirable action when div content widths may vary -- especially if space is at premium. Is there any decent way to fix this without resorting to ugly hacks? An easy way to make rounded corners for buttons that are floating. Perhaps use ul/li as the menu item container elements -- would that make any difference? ul/li come with their semantic limitations however, as far as their contents are concerned. (No divs for one.)

I am trying to create something similar to tooltips and having a problem. I know that the browsers support tooltips with the title attribute but I'm looking to do something different. Also, I know that IE has bugs with hovering on non-anchor tags but I'm trying to make this work in a standards-compliant browser (I'm not using IE). I've tried the code given by SantaKlauss and it worked fine. But why doesn't this work (a simple example to illustrate the problem)? Code:
<style type="text/css">
.test:hover + div
{
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<img class='test' src='test.gif' />
<div>here is some text</div>
If I remove the :hover pseudo-class declaration like this: Code:
.test + div
{
background-color: red;
}
It correctly sets the background color on the div following the image. So why doesn't the first example work with the hover pseudo-class?? Thanks in advance, Jeremiah i have two p tags one after the other.. <p>text</p> <p>text</p> and I did: Code:
#head p {
float:left;
margin-top:2%;
font-style:oblique;
font-size:150%;
color:green;
}
#head p+p {
float:right;
font-size:75%;
color:red;
}
the problem is that if i do margin-top:4% to the first p; this also changes that in the adjacent p? is this correct? Hey everyone, I have a footer with two images that link to various associations for home building. In firefox when I over over the link which has a nested image. The next element is a paragraph which is hidden unless the link is hovered over. In IE the paragraphs don't show. I don't know why since I'm using a:hover, well actually it's #link-ID.hover.

Unfortunately no matter what I do to my routers firewall, including turning it off and also trying to add the webserver host to the DMZ. Either way all the port scanners I've used said that port 80 was not responding to SYN connection requests at all. Basically the port is in stealth mode. I cannot give you a live sample of the site. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know how I can place two adjacent divs to fit the full width of the browser when one div is a set pixel width and the other i think has to be %? Here's my code: Code: <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 260px;"> <a href="http://www.thencollection.com/"><img src="images/logo.jpg" width="260px" height="55px" border="0" alt="The N Collection Logo" /></a></div> <div style="margin-left: 260px; width: 100%; height: 55px; background-color: #FFDC00;"> </div> Right now the header extends the browser width. Thanks in advance! Hi, So, there's the adjacent child selector element + element, but I was wondering if there was something that did the reverse of that selector. For example, let's say I have this: Code:
<div id="menu">
<div class="option">1</div
<div class="option">2</div>
<div class="option">3</div>
<div class="option">4</div>
</div>
I know I can use the element + element selector to quickly style every option div but the first, but is there some selector to quickly style every option element but the last. Thanks. --Surgery Hi All, A seemingly simple problem which has me pulling my (already thinning) hair out: I'm working on a simple page header: a 100px-wide image floated to the left, a 150px wide div filled with text floated to the right. I need the header to stretch to fit the whole page, which is easy enough: float the image to the left, float the div to the right. Now, if a user shrinks the browser to, lets say 200px wide, it's forcing the div to stack below the image. I would like for it get closer and closer to the image as the browser is narrowed, until it's sitting just beside it. I can do this with a min-width on a container div, but of course, that doesn't work on IE--and I'd rather not use the "expression" min-width hack. I could do it with a table, but I'm trying to go table-free if I can. It seems like something that should be easy as pie, but I'm finding that it's more akin to baking a souffle. Thanks, all. rjgfx I'm a bit baffled on this issue. Please visit this page - www.atrachapter.com Focus on the main image in the body of the page and mouse over the left hand navigation. The image jumps to the left. I have tried looking at all the css to see what is causing this but am baffled. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks.

Why do the margin-bottom of the table and the margin-top of the p not collapse (only tested in Firefox2)? Why is there 20px between them? I don't understand the world of margins anymore... Is this an exception or a bug or what? Thanks for help, Josh In the example below, why would there still be an indent on the ul li? Thanks for the help.

I'm using a web application for an online survey system. The pages rendered are XHTML transitional ("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">")... but it doesn't validate (a big problem, I know). It looks like this initially... ...and I'm trying to indent the entire element below the header text like so... ...but the problem is that it applies the change not only the parent TABLE/DIV combo, but then the children as well (which is why the radio buttons ended up being shifted over too I believe). I can't change any of the code of the application, but the application references an external CSS file that I can edit only (so I can't change the fact that there aren't many/any classes assigned to the elements to use directly... but I can modify this one file and have the changes applied). What I've tried thus far is to use either of the following... Code: TABLE DIV {position: relative; left: 25px;}
TABLE DIV {padding-left: 25px;}
I found the tree using Firebug for Firefox. Is there a way to make the CSS code be applied to only the first/parent TABLE/DIV combo and not it's children? Maybe I could start with BODY TABLE DIV or something? I would really appreciate any assistance possible. Anyone know a trick to get text-indent applied to a text input field working on the default value in IE? Code: <input type="text" name="name" value="Full Name" /> text-indent does not apply to that initial value in IE. Once you start typing text it does. I've read many forum replies to help getting rid of indents in li & ul items. None of the solutions are working for me. PLease help! I have a footer divided into 3 columns. The text inside each column is left-aligned with no padding/margin except for my twitter feed, which shows up with a ~41px indent. I've tried every combination of padding & negative margin in the CSS, nothing works. Currently: #twitter_update_list li {padding-left:-41px; text-indent:0px; margin-left:-41px; overflow:hidden; display:inline; text-align:left; list-style-position: inside} #twitter_update_list ul li {padding-left:-41px; text-indent:0px; margin-left:-41px; overflow:hidden; display:inline; text-align:left; list-style-position: inside} #twitter_div {padding:-41px 0 0 0; text-indent:0px; margin-left:0 0 0 0; overflow:hidden; display:inline; text-align:left;} My website is marinaporter.blogspot.com Thanks so much... Hi I want to increase the indent size in my pre tag. How can this be done? Thanks, Jake I'm trying to construct a nav menu using <li>'s, with each <li> element indenting 5px more than the one above it. Is this possible using just one class for all the <li> elements? I'm using Wordpress and the use of the nav loop precludes me from being able to assign each <li> element it's own class (unless I hard code the navigation). Thanks in advance for any help. I'm having this issue where 1st paragraph is not indented then all the rest are.... I don't want any indentation.... yet for some reason something is causing it to. How can i investigate what's causing this? Thanks. (btw there's no UL or LI involved in this only P How do I remove the indenting that happens on a UL with CSS? I want a vertical list but I don't want it to indent as it messes up my design. Hi, I'm trying to change the horizontal indent of my lists b/c I feel that the indent is too much. It's taking up too much space. Therefore, I looked around and came up with this: Code: ul, ol
{
list-style-position: inside;
margin-left: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
It does work (you can change 'margin-left' to whatever you prefer), but the problem is sublist items are not indented further. They are forced to the same distance as the parent list. For instance, Code: <ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<ul>
<li>item 2.1</li>
<li>item 2.2</li>
</ul>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
will look like: Code: * item 1 * item 2 o item 2.1 o item 2.2 * item 3 in stead of: Code: * item 1 * item 2 o item 2.1 o item 2.2 * item 3 It does this in both FF and IE. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks, Matt Hey gang, I'm trying to change the indent of an unordered list. I have made this mock up just using spaces to illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish: I mark it up as: <ul> <li>Perennials</li> <ol>Artemisia</ol> ... ... </ul> I cannot get the <ol> indent to decrease from its default. I have tried playing with the padding and margin, but I need it to go back, not forward. What is the CSS to decide how many px/em the ol is indented? I'm sure this is simple, but I can't figure it out! Any help would be great. Thanks. |
