CSS - Span Element Width In Netscape
I want to have some small boxes of fixed width on a page, so I can change the background colour to create the appearance of "flashing lights".
I've set the width property on the span tag. It works fine in Internet Explorer but not in Netscape. Any suggestions? Similar Tutorialshi all I've got a styled ul+li element, and I've put a new color class in a span tag, for a link li a, li a:active, etc { color: #00FF00; } li a:hover { color: #00AA00; } spanclass a, span a:active, etc { color: #00FF00; } spanclass a:hover, etc { color: #00AA00; } <li>hello, <span class="spanclass"><a href="#">this is a link</a></span></li> Except it's completely ignoring the span class colors... Anyone know why? Hello, Well this is a very simple question ... how can Iset the width of a span from CSS? Basically I tried setting the span with from CSS however the span size remained wrapped to the text inside rather then taking the width I desire. I check some interent forums, and found out that if I set the float:left the width is taken, but my span is no longer is place! is there a way to set the span width without having to set thr float:left option? thanks and regards, Sim085 ok, i know that because span is a inline element width cant be applied to it, and a lot of people suggest DIV my problem is that div wont work, because of its auto-break thing.... it being a block element and all... so, how would i apply a width of something like 100px to the span elements in code like this?... Code: <div class="infocontainer"> <span class="infobox">Publisher: <?php print $publisher; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Developer: <?php print $developer; ?></span> <span class="infobox">System: <?php print $system; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Gen <?php print $genre; ?></span> </div> I use this in IE: <span style="width:22"></span> as a blank spacer. The 22 is actually calculated so it varies. Of course it does not work in Firefox. I get no spacing at all. What is the acceptable cross browser method of doing this? Thanks in advance. CSS 1, Netscape 4.x and background+width issue need workaround: I am working on a website template and converting it to CSS. I have seperated my CSS1 from my CSS 2 sheet and am currently trying to get NN 4.x to do what I have read it won't do and have no idea how to make it do what I want. BTW:Please do not advise me to drop NN 4.x, unfortunately it is not within my power to do so. What I need to do is put a background color on an H1 header that will be only as wide as the table cell (column) it is in. (3 column plus header and footer layout). BTW: I cannot drop the table either. My problem is that when I get the background to work (instead of just surrounding the text) I cannot get it to be liquid and remain inside its cell. When I set the width to %'s it just pushes the other 2 columns out of the way even when the % is not the width of the column. Unfortunately, pixels are not flexible enough for this layout. So, how do I get a background color on an H1 tag that fully expands to the width of the column (not just the text) using CSS 1 and NN 4.x while not destroying the table layout? Thank you for your help- Schach PS: This is not an issue of my code, but an issue of the NN 4.x CSS support. So I do not need to have the code debugged, but instead I need a hack or method to outsmart the browser, so I can duplicate a site in CSS. This site is currently heavily reliant on tables, something we want to change, but can't unless we can reproduce the site in NN 4.x. (You can email me if you would like to do that) Hello all! I've problem with firefox rendering's of span tag, the problem is in the width definition, the code is this: Code: <span style="width:100%; background:red">My name is Danny!</span> IE show me a 100% red row with the text instead Firefox show me only text with the backgroud color. Why this? is a Firefox bug or is not possible to assign width definition to the span tag?! Hello, I am having a problem getting the section that says WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY to span the entire right side of the page. I would like to set it up so that no matter what screen resolution the page is viewed in, that section will stretch all the way to the right side. Any suggestions? http://www.discinsights.com/cyber/Scripts/default.asp Thanks ahead of time! Hi, I am trying to create a very simple login form. Before I used to develop everything with tables, so I had the email label and password label alligned under each other correctly. Now I am trying to do it only with divs, spans and css, however i can not give a fixed with the span or labels so that email and password are alligned under each other! Here is the html file I have. Basically I have to login forms, one with css and the other one with tables. You can see that the table example has email and password label alligned under each other keeping the same width, while in the css example email takes less space then password. I tried setting the witdh to the label, but it did not work! Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
<style>
div.login{
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.login label{
border: 1px solid green;
width: 200px;
text-align:left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Example with only divs, span and css:
<div class="login">
<div>
<label>
Email
</label>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="text" value="" />
</div>
<div>
<label>
Password
</label>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="password" value="" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<input type="button" value="Register" />
<input type="button" value="Forgot Password" />
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>

Example with tables.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td>
<input id="username" name="username"
type="text" value="" />
</td>

<tr>

<td>
<input id="username" name="username"

What should I do to my css to set a width to a label or span? thanks and regards, sim085 I don't mind telling yall, I'm a bit hesitant to post here, only because I'm very new to html and css, just learning. Folks here are far above my ability, I've got many of the pages on site bookmarked for reference. I'm taking this plunge because I'm ready to rip hairs one by one on a problem. I have a friend who originally made a site in a builder program *shudders* and he has asked me to convert it to more conventional pages (he's determined to keep this theme and I'm not good enough to remake the entire site by hand yet). This program created every thing on the pages as a Div with css styling embedded in the document. Ive got everything working perfectly except that I can not for the life of me get the Div.banner to stretch the width of pages in order for it to span the width of any resolution. What I'm trying to do is simply (or should be) make a 93px by 3 or 4 px bar repeat the length of the div. Here is the code its using at this time. Code: <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
DIV.banner { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:0; }
....</STYLE>
<DIV class="banner"><IMG SRC="images/vbar.PNG" WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=93 BORDER=0></DIV>
The above works but its a fixed width and I would like it to be full width no matter what resolution ones using. I have tried making the Div class="banner" use a width=100%. This causes the image to be shown at top=0 and left=0 once only. I tried adding background-repeat repeat-x to the css code. Any other changes I make like removing the Width from the Div class all together causes it to just go away. I've been able to manipulate everything else from this horrible theme fine except this. I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing and if you need to see more of the index page code just let me know (its not online at this time). I didn't want to put in too much stuff and being such a n00b at all this, I'm learning so be gentle with me.. Thanks in Advance Me Code:

This code does exactly what I want it to in Mozilla. The widest select determines the width of the column, and then every other select takes the same width. In IE, however, the width is determined by the plain text cells, and the text of the options get cut off. Without making the width fixed, which is a problem as I have a very large table with dropdowns in each cell where I don't really know what the values are or whether the user modifies the text size, is there any workaround in IE to acheive the same effect using CSS? the width property of the element "#globalNavWrapper #nav .subnav li a" in this drop down menu is being ignored. when i add padding-right: 200px to it, the full element is visible in the drop down menu, but the long text strings get cut off. why is the width element being ignored? Thanks in advance! Code:

right now i have a div that is floated left. in Firefox, the width of the box depends on the contents. however, in IE, the width is 100% of the parent element. how can i make IE act like firefox in this situation? Hello all I need to display the Login info inside a DIV 'WELCOME <USER FIRST NAME AND LAST NAME>' i have set the width of the DIV and a font size - 16px but when the name length increases the design brakes One way of solving the issue is by applying some logic using scripts but i want to know that whether we can do anything using the same with CSS only Regards Anees Layout Page I know. It's not too great yet. But I've just started and it's still in the baby stages. whenever I add a width or height paramater to "navBar" the background image NEVER shows up, even with content!

I'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Something for the css pros: Can anybody give me a hint on how to convert the following (table) based markup snippet to div-only markup? http://www.twosailors.net/test.html In all my tests I cannot get the rightmost cell expand so the whole menu gets it's total size. I do NOT want to convert the boxes to fixed width but keep them shrinkwrapping around the menu texts. Also, I do want a border around the boxes so any faking with background colors will not work either. Any ideas? Andreas Pardeike Hi I'm struggeling with the following: I have some span elements inside a td. If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td). Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside? Se example code below Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;"> <tr> <td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;"> <span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span> <span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span> <span style="">Last</span> </td> </tr> </table> ******* UPDATE ******* I found this link today: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts which says (among other things): ************************* Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up. Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it. ************************* So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above? Is there any working workarounds for this...? Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> I have an navigation menu that I am building as an unordered list. What I have is an image rollover that appears at the bottom of the navigation menu when the cursor hovers over one of the first level links by using a span within the link that has its display set to none, and then set to absolute positioned directly below the navigation menu on a:hover. Here is an example: Code:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="link1.html" id="link1">Link<span></span></a>
</li>
</ul>
.link a { some link height }
.link a span { display: none; }
.link a:hover span {
position: abolute;
top: (some link height * the number of links);
background-image: (some image url)
width: (image width)
height: (image height)
}
Appearance: ------ Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- ------- Rollover Image to appear here ------- The problem that I have is that since the rollover image is positioned absolutely, if the size of the list of links changes (IE with sub-links in the list) it slides under or over where I have the rollover image placed. IE ------ Link1 sublink1 sublink2 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- will break my scheme. Is there a way to get the span within the link to show up relative to the bottom of the <ul> element, or at the bottom of an element that contains the whole shebang? If I cant get this to work, I'm going to be forced to adopt the existing tables/javascript based template for our site, and I'd hate hate hate to do that. thanks. |
