CSS - Padding Issues
Similar TutorialsThe site can be viewed he http://oharenoise.org/new/ I am having issues with padding on this newly revised website, specifically in the left column division. For example, I'd like the "Special Information" heading to have larger padding above it & less padding below. No matter what values I enter into the padding attributes, nothing changes. I'm having the same problem with the "Featured Publications" too, further down the page. Hi All, Im giving my site a slight update, but have encountered a strange IE problem. Saying that i have nothing but problems with IE some days with both 6 and 7. The menu system seems to work fine in Safari and firefox, however in IE the last tab seems to go to the next line. I think it may be a problem with the padding/margin however thats only a guess. Any help would be appreciated.

I looked back at an old thread I posted about a year ago with the same issue. The fix was to add vertical-align: top; to the flt_rt img css. ========================================== This issue is affecting both FF (3) and IE (6)...I haven't tested in another browser yet. I just inherited this site and am in the process of converting it from a table layout to valid css. EVerything's going pretty well with the exception of my right column images. An approximately 5px gap is appearing so the images do not fit flush. I have looked at this so long that I can't see where it's happening and would appreciate another set of eyes. This version of the site is on a private test server, so I've attached screenshots. In each screenshot you will see the gap colored in green. In FF it appears below the images, while in IE it's appearing in between. Thanks in advance!

In IE my wrapper is extending way beyond 770px to about 991px. You can see this in the image below. It shows the green border way beyond where the main content ends to the right. Edited to add that I figured out my problem with the image aligning to the right. I had 2px padding set all round on the container box for it All the content looks correct in FF (suprise suprise). My CSS: Code: #wrapper { text-align: left; margin: 0px auto; width: 770px; } /* column container */ #colcont { float: left; width: 550px; } /* columns */ #lcol { float: left; width: 180px; max-width: 180px; vertical-align: top; } #mcol { float: right; width: 366px; vertical-align: top; } #rcol { float: right; width: 210px; max-width: 210px; margin-left: 10px; vertical-align: top; } /* login box */ .metro_wrap { width: 200px; margin-left: 10px; } .login_top { width: 200px; height: 260px; background: #54B043 url(/theme/Metrocom/login_top.gif) top right no-repeat; } .metrologin { background: #54B043 url(/theme/Metrocom/login_bottom.gif) no-repeat; height: 588px; color: #FFFFFF; vertical-align: top; } .loginbar { background: #54B043; padding: 4px; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; height: 34px; } HTML -- This is the DIV that holds the image Code: <div class="metro_wrap"> <div class="login_top"></div> <div class="loginbar"> Welcome to www.tdsmetro.net.<br /> Please sign in. </div> <div class="metrologin"> <?if($msg) {?> <span class="autherr">$msg</span> <?}?> <div class="login"> <form class="nopad" action="/login.php" method="post" onsubmit="return(ck_login(this.user));"> <input class="login" type="text" name="user" maxlength="50" size="24" /> <br /> <strong>User Name</strong> (joe.smith@tds.net)<br /><br /> <input class="login" type="password" name="pass" maxlength="30" size="24" /> <br /> <strong>Password</strong><br /><br /> <div align="center"> <input class="login" type="submit" value="Sign In" name="submit" /> </div> </form> </div> <br /> </div> </div> Here is the way that the divs are laid out.

I'm trying to update a site to use CSS instead of tables and I'm having some issues with the top banner and the lovely IEs. Basically, IE6 seems to be acknowledging some padding/margins for my "banner" div and both IE6 and 7 have some extra spacing below my H1/logo image that Firefox/Opera properly display. I put up a screen shot of Firefox (far left), IE7 (middle), and IE6 (upper right) showing the discrepancies at "hxxp://ns1.zivix.com/~mbydalek/sample/Screenshot.png" Here are the specific problems that I am trying to fix: 1) The floated H1 (background green) should have 0 spacing at the bottom, yet IE6/7 both show some extra green indicating some extra spacing 2) IE6 has the banner a few pixels off to the right and actually a couple pixels taller than it's supposed to be, which is the height of the floated right image. I put the code and css up at: hxxp://ns1.zivix.com/~mbydalek/sample/admin.html hxxp://ns1.zivix.com/~mbydalek/sample/css/master.css Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Mike * On a side note, how the heck do you post URLs (with or without bbcode) on these forums? Any url I try (even if I copy/paste directly from the help) gets replaced with a "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" Well, I don't see anything in the rules and I've read/searched through them now for 20 mins and am not having any luck. Hi all, Been playing about with some CSS for a simple e-comm site. Mockup here. There seems to be a few issues though between IE/FF. Thats all I've been able to test on so far though. The site validates properly as far as I can tell so that doesn't seem to be a problem. In Firefox, the left hand bottom sidebox overflows the page (the footer doesn't go below it). In IE it seems to be fine. In IE, the padding on the right hand side of the main content header box is not the same as the left side. Also, the main left bullet list is royally arsed up. At the moment, I can't spot any more issues than that. As I continue development and start to add more features, then I will probably crop up with more issues. The HTML for the site is here. The CSS for the site is here. Suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Computer Hey y'all. I was hoping someone could help me with some minor margin/padding issues. At one point I knew how to fix this, but I can't for the life of me remember. The site is www (dot) texasarmor (dot) com I like the way the divs are spaced in IE but I don't know how to make IE and Firefox the same. Please help... Also, please if you could, any critiques? Suggestions? Thanks very much. -michael I have a horizontel list as my menu with a 1px border to the right of each item as a seperator. Each item has 10px padding to the left and right. In all browsers it shows up as expected in the middle of the menu items but in Explorer the border is way closer to the right, almost pushed up against the item to the right. Any help please. Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code: <style> #menubox { float:left; margin-left:15px; margin-bottom:7px; } .main_cell { padding:15px; } </style> <body> <table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div> Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td> </tr> </table> </body> Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions?

Here is my website: http://www.jmuelectricmotorcycle.tk When the page is in firefox, If you page zoom out, the navbar goes under the content instead of staying on the right. I think it has something to do with padding and the sidebar not having enough room so it drops down. When I set the content to 1005 instead of 1000, it works, but there's a giant 5 pixel gap between my side bar and my content container. Also, does anybody know how to style called data from ssi.php in SMF forums? I want my login boxes to look like my main page. Thanks. Here is my css: Code: html { font: normal 12px verdana, arial; background-color: #000 } body { text-align: center } #fw-container { margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; text-align: left } .hasSidebar #fw-container { width: 1000px; } a, a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } /* --- Header --- */ #fw-head { position: relative; height: 196px; background: #242424; } #fw-title { font: bold 26px verdana; letter-spacing: -1px; position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 20px; padding: 0; margin: 0; z-index: 10; } #fw-title a, #fw-title a:visited, #fw-title a:hover { color: #fff; } .fw-logo { width: 760px; height: 196px; position: absolute; } .hasSidebar .fw-logo { width: 1000px; } /* --- Navigation --- */ #fw-mainnavwrap { background: #242424; padding: 10px 20px; font-family: arial; font-weight: normal; border-top: 1px solid #000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; } #fw-mainnavwrap ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; background: transparent; list-style-type: none; } #fw-mainnavwrap li { margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; display: inline; } /* --- Content --- */ #fw-bigcontain { width: 760px; float: left; } .fw-paragraph { background: #242424 url('../Waveform/img/bg-p.gif') repeat-x top left; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; padding: 15px 20px 10px; overflow: hidden; } .fw-title { margin: 0px 0px 10px; font: 18px verdana; color: #fff; } .fw-text { margin-bottom: 10px; } /* --- Sidebar stuff --- */ .hasSidebar #fw-sidebar { width: 239px; float: right; font-size: 12px; clear: right; border-left: 1px solid #000; } #fw-sidebar .fw-title a, #fw-sidebar .fw-title a:visited, #fw-sidebar .fw-title a:hover { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } #fw-sidebar .fw-title { font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: normal; } /* --- Footer --- */ #fw-footer { font: normal 10px verdana, sans-serif; background: #242424; margin: 0px; padding: 11px 0px 1px; color: #999; clear: both; width: 760px; } .fw-footertext { background: #161616; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; border-top: 1px solid #000; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 6px 20px; } I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu. I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code: /* Menu */ li { border: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px none; display: inline; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; padding: 0px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; } ul#menu { background-image: url(img/menu.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; background-position: left bottom; vertical-align: text-bottom; } /* End Menu */ <ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li> <li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul> (the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.) the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work. to see what i'm talking about if my words are il formed (as they often are) click here. to view the CSS click here. Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told: "Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text" How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is: www.ohiocichlids.com I am noticing that padding changes the width/height of an object. For example, if I have a div element with a width of 100% and padding at 10px, it will actually cause the horizontal scrollbar on the browser to appear because it takes the 100% width into account, plus 20px for the padding on the left and right side. I thought padding was suppose to push elements inward. ??? Any help will be greatly appriciated. Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div. This is the code I am using: PHP Code: #related_links{ width: 165px; height: 237px; background-image: url('images/related_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; float:right; padding-right: 10px; } #related_inside{ padding: 10px; } #content{ padding-right: 10px; } #content_inside{ padding: 10px; } PHP Code: <div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div> <div id="content"> <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Hey everyone, I am working on a new template: http://4xp.net/temp.html The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry. If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div. Does anyone know how to remove this padding? Thanks! |
