CSS - Css Layout Works On Mac, Not Pc???
www.strutmag.com/newstrut/
I'm working on a site that is using CSS layout. I use a Mac at work and the site looks great on it. I've checked it on the Mac on Safari, IE, and Firefox. When I went home the other day, and I checked the site on my PC (on IE and Firefox), the site did not layout correctly. I think the main issue is the relationship between the left section (where the large image is) and the floated right content box. I was really surprised to see it not working on my PC, so now I'm at a loss. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions about about the cross-platform, cross-browser differences I need to account for. Please help! Thanks! CSS Similar TutorialsMy desired layout is working the way I want it to in IE, but not in any other browser. I've been messing with the layout and the CSS for a while now, and I'm officially at a loss. I set the height of the div that the content is in, but when the content were to overflow, I want the background image to repeat. If you enlarge the text a couple of times using Apple + or Alt +, you will see what I mean. Example HTML: <body> <div id="bodycontent"> <div id="content">Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br />Content comes here.<br /><br /></div> <div id="signup">Sign up comes here.</div> <div id="footer">Footer links come here.</div> </div> <div id="coverart"><img src="images/artwork0105.jpg" alt="Strut Magazine Cover Art" border="0" /></div> <div id="topmenu">Menu comes here.</div> </body> CSS: body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0px; } #bodycontent { width: 750px; position: absolute; top: 28px; background-image: url(images/bg0105.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; height: auto; } #content { width: 276px; margin-left: 474px; height: 704px; } #topmenu { height: 27px; width: 749px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-right-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; vertical-align: top; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } #signup { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; text-align: center; width: 750px; height: auto; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 750px; background-color: #FFFFFF; height: auto; } #coverart { height: 704px; width: 474px; position: absolute; top: 28px; } Thanks! Hi, I'm just starting to figure out CSS tableless layouts and I've worked out the following layout with just DIVs and CSS: http://www.webpersona.com/css_test.html Problem is it looks great in Opera, but in IE and Netscape it looks horrid My question is, are my CSS skills so lacking that I've missed something really simple or is this one of those things that require a hack? You'd think something as simple as this would look the same on all 3 browsers, if it is a case where I need to add hacks then I'd have to say CSS layouts have a way to go before they're practical to use. Any feedback would be appreciated I'm a pretty new CSS coder, and primarily use Firefox so I designed my website based on that browser, and now when I try opening it in IE it looks completely wrong and different. Does it have to do with my margins? I have no idea--if someone can just point me in the right direction to even figure out where the problem lies (and even better if you know how to fix it!) that would be fabulous. The website is www.yarniapdx.com and it looks exactly how I want it to in Firefox, but in IE it's a mess! Thank you so much in advance, -lindsey I've been working on a layout for my site. It consists of a fixed top menu bar, a fixed left-side menu bar, a fixed right-side bar (possibly used for ads; not sure yet), and a scrollable middle content section. Think a modified Facebook layout. I've been testing with Firefox, and here's what I ended up with (remove the spaces; as a new user, I can't post images, either): htt p://dl.dropbox.com/u/11662651/Graphics/SiteStuff/LayoutGoo d.png That's perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. But then, once I finished it, I tried to test it in IE for compatibility. I almost cried. Almost every aspect of the layout was just completely messed up. Nothing remains fixed when I scroll. Although the menu bar's background color shows it in the right place, all its content shows up below the left-menu instead. In fact, ALL content besides the left-menu shows up below the left-menu instead of in its correct place. And as if that weren't enough, the bullet points on the left-side menu's list (a UL) show up aligned to the left, while the text is aligned to the right (it should be to the right). Besides fonts, not one thing in the layout is correct in IE. But it's all PERFECT in Firefox. I don't usually do this, but because of the scale of how many things are wrong, and because it's only messed up in IE, I'm going to post a download to the .HTML file and ask you to help me figure out what's going on here. So, here's the file (remove the spaces; I'm a new user so I can't post links): htt p:// dl.dropbox.com/u/11662651/Graphics/SiteStuff/index .html?dl=1 Please, please, please, at least get me on the right track to fixing this. And, in related news, I hate IE. Very much. -IMP I have a three column layout (25%, 50%, 25%) which works fine in IE7 and firefox but not IE6. In IE6 the right column rolls down (would not fit in the space). What would be the best fix for this issue ? Here is my CSS. #main3Column { float: left; width: 50%; } #leftColumn { /* IE7 1px rounding error */ float:left; width:25%; margin-left:-1px; } #rightColumn { float:left; width:25%; } .columnBoxLeft { padding: 0px 0px 0px 6px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px; } .columnBoxMiddle { padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px; } .columnBoxRight { padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px; } HTML ==== <div id="leftColumn"> <div class="columnBoxLeft"> <h2 class="channeltitle">Left Column</h2> <p>Your Text Here</p> </div> </div> <div id="main3Column"> <div class="columnBoxMiddle"> <h2 class="channeltitle">Main Column</h2> <p>Your Text Here</p> </div> </div> <div id="rightColumn"> <div class="columnBoxRight"> <h2 class="channeltitle">Right Column</h2> <p>Your Text Here</p> </div> </div> My site has three columns. left-middle-right The middle column in IE is right underneath the header as it should be. On firefox the middle coumn is as far below the header as the height of the right column. I have tried everything but i cant get it to look right in both browsers. It is all done with floated divs and doesn't use any tables at all. Please can someone help me! www.datahq-online.co.uk Thank you! Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? well i sort of know why, because they render things differently but i have looked in my code and cant figure out why it will be different for ff click here NEWB here. Working on a project that has a custom ul w/ background images and sub menus the css currently in place works for all browsers except IE when using the IE developer tool, I can see all the applied styles for the items. For some reason IE is just randomly throwing in a padding-top from somewhere that's screwing up the alignment. There is NO source css file referenced or noted as to where it's coming from. As soon as it's removed, it display properly. I have explicitly set the style in the UL and the li to have the correct padding, but IE just seems to ignore them and throws in a padding of it's own. ANY IDEAS here? Anyone? Beuller? I have pulled my last hair so I come to you with a red face. these tags are in the head section Code:
h3 {color: blue}
pink {color: blue}
In the body I have Code: <h3> what color is it? </h3><BR> <pink> it should be blue </pink> both lines print in blue on FF. IE6 shows h3 in blue but pink is plain, black text. Please embarass me with a simple answer. Thanks in advance, stujo Here's the css code. Code:
.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
background-color:#F5F9FA;
}
.toolbar {
border:0;
padding:0;
margin:auto;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
.toolbar a {
display:block;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
text-decoration:none;
}
It works fine when you hover over a link, it lights up the back of the td which is what I want. However I would like the whole td to act as a link. So wherever you move the mouse over the td it lights up and would link to the page, instead of just over the text. Any suggestions? is there anything special i need to do to get CSS to work with IE? Here is what i have above the </head> tag Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="layout.css"> the layout.css has: Code:
catheader {
color:#ffffff;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: verdana;
}
then in the <body> i have Code: <catheader>My New Category</catheader> In netscape it shows correctly, in IE it doesnt read it at all. any ideas? I am new to style sheets, and I have been trying to get an entry level position with a web developer here close to me. They sent me a PSD and told me to layout using nothing but CSS and no tables. So I did so... and it looks fantastic in Firefox, but not at all good in IE. The only real problem is with the positioning.. the content color and size and everything seems to be fine.... all the positioning is done in the code on the website, where you can view source... I pasted the CSS code below, but doubtful it will help much. Can anyone offer me some help? The site is he http://www.eomnis.com/test the style sheet is here http://www.eomnis.com/test/css.css and i pasted the style sheet code below. Thanks for any help everyone. Aaron <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url('images/main_background.jpg'); background-color:#000000; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin: 0px; } .top_text { font-size: 14px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFFF00; font-weight:400; } .bold_grey{ font-size:11px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#EEEEEE; font-weight:300; letter-spacing:inherit; } .small_text{ font-size:9px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#EEEEEE; font-weight:300; letter-spacing:inherit; } form { font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; font-size:10px; font-weight:300; } .select { font-size:9px; height:15px; } .input { font-size:9px; height:16px; width:160px; } .zip { width: 94px; height:16px; font-size:9px; } .Footer_links{ color:#CCCCCC; font-size:14px; font-weight:300; text-decoration:none; } </style> Hi I have a website which works fine in Firefox, but has problems in Internet Explorer. can someone please have a look and see what is wrong? the positioning of the Div boxes go wrong in IE, and also it seems like the site is scretched vertically. many thanks I have the following CSS that I believe is valid, but it only works in IE. In fact in IE it works perfect, but in FireFox it does not display anything at all. Code: <div style="font-size:8px; text-align:left; background-color:red; width:100px;"><div style="font-size:8px; background-color:green; width:75px;"></div></div> What I am trying to do is display a rating. In the above example, the rating is 75/100, so a green bar 75px long over a red bar 100px long. Using Axure to create working prototypes for use in usability testing. The code created by Axure works well in IE7 but the function does not work in IE6...which I think, most of my usability testers will be using. What this code is trying to do is, click on a link in one box which automatically copies and pastes the code to destination box. The idea is to let the user copy and paste content from a previous message. Has anyone ever come across this issue? I'm sure it how IE handles .css but was hoping there may be a fix. Code: <DIV id=u23_rtf><span style=" font-family:'Arial'; color:#000000; font-size:15px;"><b>Message:</b></span></DIV></DIV> <SELECT id=u24 style="position:absolute; left:290px; top:558px; width:180px; height:22px; ; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left ; font-family:'Arial'; font-size: 13px; color:#000000; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none" > <OPTION selected value="English">English</OPTION> <OPTION value="Spanish">Spanish</OPTION> </SELECT> <DIV id=u25 style="position:absolute; left:505px; top:623px; width:230px; height:18px; ; ; text-align: left ; font-family:Arial; text-align:left; word-wrap:break-word;" > <DIV id=u25_rtf><span style=" font-family:'Arial'; color:#000000; font-size:15px;"><b>Copy Previous Message</b></span></DIV></DIV> <SELECT id=u26 size=2 style="position:absolute; left:505px; top:646px; width:230px; height:120px; ; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left ; font-family:'Arial'; font-size: 13px; color:#000000; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none" > <OPTION value="Contribute more to your / English">Contribute more to your / English</OPTION> <OPTION value="Happy Holidays / English">Happy Holidays / English</OPTION> <OPTION value="Hola / Spanish">Hola / Spanish</OPTION> <OPTION value="Time to consolidate / English">Time to consolidate / English</OPTION> </SELECT> I have the following CSS: Code:
#leftcontent
{
position: absolute;
top: 135px;

width: 150px;
border: 0px;
}
#centercontent
{

This works just fine in Firefox, but I see some problem in IE6. As I resize the width of IE window, the right border line of the center content disappears. Maybe this CSS has some problem; maybe html inside has some problem. I don't know exactly what is causing this, but I need to fix it. I don't want the right border line to disappear. I want it to be visible at all times. How can I fix this problem? How can I make the right border line visible at all times? (This is where I use this CSS.) hi The following CSS code works in Firefox, but not IE. The site has a fixed top bar using CSS which works perfectly in firefox, but stuffs up in IE. Does anyone know what I need to change it to to fix the problem? Code: html, body
