CSS - Blurred Css Dashed Vertical Lines
It seems that whenever I create a dashed/dotted, verticle line in CSS and view it in IE6, and scroll, the line gets all blurred and messed up. Does anyone know about this and if there is a way to fix this?
Similar TutorialsAnyone knows of a method to cause a vertical line to come all the way down ? Currently it stops where the text stops. but i want it to go all the way to the buttom of the document regardless of the text. (right now i use box border on one side) Thanks! Hi: After entering data into a database from a form (HTML) using php, I now have to retrieve the data, place it in a form style and print. Everything works fine when I do the print except for one thing. Description of Problem: When I print using IE 6.0, all vertical and horizontal lines which separate data from each other (cells) print. When I do the print in Mozilla, only the horizontal lines appear. How can I fix this, or, what makes it do this in Mozilla and not in IE? There is one thing I'm not doing, I'm not using CSS to format the form. Could this fix the problem? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I'm going through hell trying to make a site look the same in IE and Firefox. The biggest problem is the gaping spaces IE adds between elements. What is the best way to fix this? Example at patrolmag.com/new. Any advice or help would be most appreciated. P.S. How the page looks in Firefox 3 is ideal. I just need to make at least IE7 come somewhere close to matching it. Normally when I want to vertically align some text to the middle of a div I use line-height: 40px; and vertical-align: middle; However that only seems to work on single lines of text because with multiple lines of text the line height of each line means there is a large gap between the text rather than centreing the whole lot vertically. How do I get around this? I thought something like the following would work but it doesn't. <div style="line-height: 60px; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="line-height: normal;">line1<br />line 2</span></div> A number of years ago I created a web site for a mattress store where I worked (7 days a week, for 5 years). The point is this: I'm not a great web designer. The code is ancient and the owner wants me to bring the thing up to date. Using tables, I had a system for creating thin, vertical lines that went up and down the entire heighth of the page. The lines divided the content area from the borders in a neat way - although, again, using very old HTML. It looks like this: http://www.wholesalewarehouseinc.com What I'd found was that if I used a fixed-sized header and some tables I could produces the thin line that you see on that page. This was the basic code: Code: <table width=100% height=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0> <td background="http://www.wholesalewarehouseinc.com/lf.gif" width=50% align=left><td width="1" background="dot.png"> <img src="dot.png"></td> </td><td valign=top> <table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 rightmargin=0 leftmargin=0 bottommargin=0> <img src="logo.png"></td> <td background="http://www.wholesalewarehouseinc.com/lf.gif" width=100% align=left><td width="1" background="dot.png"> <img src="dot.png"></td> </table> My question is this, and maybe this is too general for a meaningful answer. Is there a way to do the same sort of thing with CSS? On my website (www.tonecollector.com) I use CSS to get a dashed style to my header. The header also has a background image. Without the background image it works ok, but with the background image it doesn't. The CSS: .headertabel { background-image: url(/img/headerbg.gif); background-color: #FF7B08; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFF6DB; text-decoration: none; border-left: 6px dashed #FF7B08; border-right: 6px dashed #FF7B08; } The Problem: http://www.tonecollector.com/dev/what.gif Whats the solution? Hi, Does anyone know how to veritcally align text using CSS? like <tr valign='middle'> when using tables. My page is on: http://www.3003online.com/demos/ecoceylon/v2/ You can see a difference in the "Home - About Us - Products - Contact Us" links when viewing from IE and Mozilla Firefox. Basically, I would like the text to be centered vertically in the bar... but CSS by default puts it on top. I tried adding padding,which helped in IE... but Firefox still shows the links a bit higher than they should be.,... any ideas how to fix this? Also, a different problem in case anyone knows how to fix it... you can see a small brown bar on the top bar. It is 50px in height. But I have no idea how to make its width as wide as the remainder of the page (this would change with different resolutions). The main content of the page is 760px wide. I would like a brown box next to that, which is 50px in height and the remainder width. Any ideas? "width: auto;" doesn't work unfortunately [ this is a follow up to my previous thread http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?t=270438 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. I have finished my transparency box backgrounds.. and, thanks to some help here.. have them working in multiple browsers.. Now, I have received a call.. that one person sees "black lines" through the boxes on the transparent boxes on the attractions and info pages.. (user is using IE and 1024x768) -I cannot recreate this problem on any machine.. is there some little strange bug that causes this on certain browsers? http://www.tkwebbiz.com/Gina2 Thanks so much.. *again*.. *Smiles* Hi, I am writing a code for form: Code: private name: <input size="10" name="private_name" type="text"> last name: <input size="10" name=last_name" type="text"> I want to increase the space between the two lines I tried to use the css line-height and it did increase the vertical space between the two lines. However only in the part of the words. In the case of the two input boxes instead of more space they become "taller", I can understand the logic behind this, what I don't know is a way to increase the vertical space between the two lines that will work in the case of the input boxes as well. How can I solve this? Thank in advance [EDIT]COME ON GARY AND KRAVVITZ [/EDIT] First off, don't mind my usage of selectors. I will explain. Time to turn the tables and ask some help.. Never thought I would have to ask a CSS question (it's more logic then CSS anyway)but if you look at here you will see a sample quiz on Sitepoint (number 13) in which there are lines connecting the divs. I still have some work to do on the general layout, but all I need in that is more time. I can not edit the HTML in the body section, which is why I am using such selectors. Obviously I have to use borders to achieve this effect but I need a little guidance.

I guess I was under the impression if I made them all the same lengths and the table width the same that everything would then lineup just fine. The other thing is that on IE it is not lined up one way and on FF it's not lined up again, but it's different. I would like to upload some images to show my problem. How do I go about putting an image up for you to see what I'm talking about? When I try to insert an image it doesn't give me an option to upload an image from my machine. Thanks! Ok, so I've finally made a design that I think looks OK, and the one last problem that I've come across is that IE(7) is adding some space at the edges of my divs, but it looks just how it should in Firefox: http://chipchamp.awardspace.com/webtemps Look at it in firefox and IE, and you'll see what I mean..

I have found out that if I comment out the background-image lines in #header and #footer, then the ugly white lines on the sides go away -- but so does some of the background image in the middle of the header/footer. So, does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It would be a great help! If you can fix the problem for either the header or the footer, I should be able to fix it for the other, so you don't have to fix both. Thanks! Hi there, I would like to get some opinions on what would be the best way, or even a good way, to display a list of lines from a database, such as product descriptions (a link), prices (text) and buy now links. For example: Segate Hard Drive 250gb $150.00 Buy Now Maxtor Hard Drive 300gb $200.00 Buy Now etc I thought it would be best to have a <ul> with each line being an <li>. Further to this, I tried having each line as a <li> element, with each column (price, buy now etc) an <li> element, displayed inline. This actually worked well, but I had trouble doing an alternate background color thing, which I think was due to my funny css code. I gave each <li> a class selector, so that different formatting could be applied, and I had each <li> float:left; and a width, to give a column style display. Would a table be the best way to display the 3 (or more) columns? I've removed tables from the site layout, and can see how they would make sense for this, as it basically is tabular data, repeated over and over again. Or would having each line as a <p> with say each column having its own <label> possibly be best? Or some variation on of the 3, or something else all together? I realise everyone would have their preferred style and there is no 'best', 'right or wrong' way etc. I'm trying to find a way that I can work with, one that could be considered 'the norm', or 'best practise'. I haven't posted any code, but can if people need more of an idea of what I am trying to do. Cheers Scott I have a repeating background image, that is very much driving me crazy. There is a line when the image repeats. I cannot figure out what the problem is. Below is an example, the image in the box is slightly shorter which is where you see the line. (URL address blocked: See forum rules) Thanks for any help. I need some help. I am a relative beginner with CSS and have a problem that is eluding me. Specifically in the right-hand sidebar on this page (FriendsAcrossTheWater.org/blog), you will note that all the links are on separate lines by themselves. I do not want this behavior and I am not sure what is causing it nor what to do to correct it. Can you help? Thanks, Bob Ross Am I commenting lines incorrectly? If I prefix a line with two slashes // in the CSS, firefox will ignore it. IE will recognize it and perform the CSS styling. For instance: Code: table.myTable tr td
{
background-color: red;
//background-image: url('mypic.jpg');
}
The TD element will not have a background in firefox. It WILL have the background image in IE. P.S. I am using IE8 on Win7 RC1 (build 7100). Thank you CSS Validator Two lines of CSS won't validate because they are used to fix a navigation issues in IE. Without those two lines there is a huge height gap between each list element in IE. Anyway I can hide these two lines from the validator? I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a space between blocks in a list. If you have list that have more that one line in a block it looks better to have gaps greater than the leading to separate them. I can't figure how to accomplish this, does anyone have any ideas. |
