CSS - Textlink 'extended' Into Empty Space After Link
Check it out:
http://www.wdoucette.com/awards/ Look at the part that looks like this: - link 1 - link 2 You can hover over the empy space after "link 1" and it clicks "link 1"! If I put a space before the "<br>" code after the link, the problem goes away. Know what causes it? (BTW, this is a site I'm creating for my father. It is unfinished.) Similar Tutorialshttp://www.thegi.net/tree/retail.htm I'm taking a Photoshop layout and turning it into HTML for a friend of mine. I just started the HTML process and am having issues right off the bat. NOTE: Pardon the semi-complete markup, I like to make small HTML documents locally to get the pieces to line up correctly and then I merge it with the final document template once it works. If you look at the above link in FireFox you will see everything lines up correctly, but in IE 7 (and maybe other browsers, I haven't gone that far yet) you will see gaps below the top set of divs and above the bottom set of divs. I have tried setting the margins and padding to 0 with no luck. Any ideas? Edit before posting: ACK! I solved it in IE by adding a DOCTYPE. Guess quirks mode made it render stupid. Is there anything I should be aware of here regarding this issue? Any pointers or gotchas I should look out for? I am a hell of a PHP developer, CSS is my weak point =) EDIT AGAIN! I am also going to move the styles into an external sheet once I get it working. I have the following code. I realize some of you are going to cringe when you see the tables in the div tags. This application was completely tables a few months ago and I have nearly completed the switch to divs.. but this page is a generated page that is customizable and I haven't had the time to spend on converting it. unfortunately I cannot give a link to this page. I've believe I've slimmed this down to only the relevent code. The extra space occurs after the outerImageTable's content. If I set the outerImageTable's background color then the extra space also changes colors so it is part of the outerImageTable. note: There would actually be multiple instances of the innerImageTable each representing a tab. Code: <div id="content" class="ParentDivBrowse"> <div id="subContent" class="ChildDiv"> <div class="outerImageTable"> <div class="innerImageTable"> <img src="/XXXXYYYY/images/leftselected.bmp" /> <button class="XXXXTabSelected" tabindex='-1' type="submit" name="DLG1_T801_MAIN" value="0" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> Mainn </button> <img src="/XXXXYYYY/images/rightselected.bmp" /> </div> </div> <div style="float:left;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan='2' valign="middle"> <table class='XXXXDlgTable'> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="60%"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="XXXXActionTable"> <tr> <td class="XXXXActionTable"> <table class='XXXXActionWidthFix'> <tr align='center'> <td width='0'></td> <td align='center' class='ActionButtons'> <button title='Clear' onMouseOver="Clear_img.src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/shadow/action_clear.png'" onMouseOut="Clear_img.src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/plain/action_clear.png'" onClick='buttonClick(this)' id='button_Clear' name='Clear' tabindex='-1' value='Clear' type='submit'> <img vspace='0' width='16' height='16' name='Clear_img' src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/plain/action_clear.png'> Clear </button> </td> <td width='0'></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </div> Thanks if anyone can help me.

I am building this layout using strict xhtml and css. Now I run into a problem with the menu buttons. On Firefox they look just like they should. Though, Internet Explorer 6 adds an empty space between each button. See the example page and CSS. Basically, Internet Explorer adds that space under images. You can also see it under the header image. Any idea on how to fix it? I tried to add overflow: hidden; - it seemed to fix the issue with the header div, but did not make any effect in the list. Actually, in THIS case, as in the example page, I could make it without using images. Add text, borders and so on, which would probably fix the problem, but there are cases when I just want to use images. Both, Strict XHTML and CSS of the page are 100% valid. Thanks, Timo Hi I have a page that looks something like this Code:
<style>
#container {
border: solid 1px #000000;
width: 600px;
padding: 10px;
}
#banner {
height: 200px;
width: 600px;
background-color: #FF0000;
font: bold 20px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#layer {
position: relative;
top: -198px;
height: 196px;
width: 150px;
z-index: 1;
left: 2px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="banner">Hello</div>
<div id="layer">This is a layer</div>
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore

</p>
</div>
If you view that site, you will see that there is an empty space below the banner-div, which is reserved for the layer. I need to get rid of that empty space, in other words, I want the text to begin right after the banner-div. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? Using relative positioning for the text is not possible, because of the structure of the rest of the page (which I haven't pasted here). [edit] Floating the layer will work partially, the text will begin right below the layer, but there is still an empty space on the left side of the text - that has to go too. [/edit] All help is appreciated. Thank you in advance - Kimppa Hello. I have just finished migrating my vbulletin template to XHTML 1.1 strict and it validates just fine. The css shows 2 errors but they are known and have no effect on the display (effective for windows resizing). My question is why do I have ~500px of white space to the site of my http://forums.xedge.net ? I did a * { border: 1px solid red; } to see where the space lined up in the scheme of things and it looks like it's part of the main div (siteWrap). Code:
/* *** This wrapper sizes the appearance of the entire site *** */
div#siteWrap {
width: 95%;
min-width: 770px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #606A8C;
}
siteWrap sets the page to render at 95% of the current window. I also have a div for contents which gives 15px to the left and right to give spacing for all following elements. In researching this problem I have read that percentage widths sometimes can be problematic with static paddings, but it was working at one time. I just can't figure out what I did wrong. The white space only appears in firefox, in ie and opera the site renders perfectly. Thanks. Thanks for taking the time to read my question I am starting to make a page, and for some reason I have a white space between two sections of my page. I don't know why. I don't have a domain for this page yet, so I've put it under my band domain. The space is between the Menu and the info portions of the page. Any ideas? http://www.pierced.ca/kelly/ css: Code:

First off, I apologize if my explanation is bad. Also, please refer to the link below. You will have to delete from the spaces from the URL because I was not allowed to post a url since I am a new user :/ http://img240. imageshack. us/my.php?image=forumexplanationje5.jpg This is what I want to do... I want to make a "table" in css. I want to make the "table" always be 890px. The css for the orange items would be .orange { margin:0px; padding:20px; } Now, I want the width of the orange items to be the width of the text in them + the padding. So basically the width is going to be dependant on the text in the tag. My problem is that I don't know how to make the blue part fill up the rest of space without knowing what the width of the orange part is. Please help, thanks. Hi there, Not entirely sure this is a CSS issue, but something tells me it is... I'm getting a weird space at the top of my pages in IE, which consequently causes the header to not align properly with the header background image. It works just fine with FireFox though. You can view the issue he http://hsdc.groundedgroup.com/ Does anybody know how to remove this space? Thanks in advance. Hi, I have a pure css menu that uses hover, Kravitz told me it wont work in touchscreens which I searched for and is so, thanks Kravitz. Also one told me to keep the hover and add a class to make it posible to click on li if hover does not work. Problem, cant test this as I dont have any touchscreen. So 1. is there a way to add a code to disable the hover affect? 2, maybe a website where you can test but using mouse.... 3. Dont remember, its validates but are there anything against using <a href="#">? Thanks, Helen If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh this will be fun to explain, heres the code: Code:
<div Id="Panel_contain" style="background-color: #cdcdcd;">
<div Id="panel2" style="float:left">Blah</div>
<div id="panel3" style="float:left">Blah</div>
</div>
lets say that the two panels inside amount to 50px of size (just for mental visualization). In firefox, the background color of the outside div is the whole height of its div (itself) in IE6, the background only goes down, lets say 10 px and stops. From what i have got out of this, IE6 sees that div as empty? and so renders it wrong? basically i need to get the height of the div to extend. Advanced: All of this code is being generated by VB (its a dynamic AJAX program, where all the controls are built from info from a database) so i was thinking that adding some text below the inside divs would make it not 'empty', although i can't figure out how to append to the bottom of the div programmatically, because i dont know when the div is done being filled. If that makes sence outro: basically im pretty sure i should be able to fix this with some type of CSS IE6 bug fix. Thanks! Is this illegal? <div id="some_id"></div> Thank you PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative? I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow. Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too. Here's the HTML: <a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a> Here's the css: a.button:link, a.button:visited { background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span:hover, a.button span:active { background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span { background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top; color:#fff; cursorointer; display:block; height:20px; line-height:20px; margin:0 2px 0 0; padding:0 10px; position:relative; white-space:nowrap; } http://tinyurl.com/5llwfl I'm having some problems with this page in particular. Try clicking on one of the Left or Right white image arrows below the main picture. This only occurs in Firefox 2.x. Once you click the link, the content area below "Starting from $278.497" should shift roughly 5 pixels down. I thought it may be related to the dotted link outline that surrounds the image, but that was not the case. I applied styles to get rid of that and there was no changes. I also thought it may be related to a position:relative; bug which this site has been notorious for. I tried making certain divs in that area position:relative to no avail. So to test further I tried an overall #content *{position:relative;} fix which could not fix the position shift, either. I'm not sure what else it could be. And while I do have access to the build of this app, I have not been able to reproduce the issue by downloading all HTML, CSS, and image files locally. I've got a form that I'm trying to lay out. I've prepared examples. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example1.html This is approximately what the form should look like. But I don't like how I managed to pull it off. I've explicitly declared a height for the middle row in my form. I want this to be automatic based on the contents. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example2.html But this is what happens if I take out the explicit height. The float lefts for the inner "box"es confuse the parent div into thinking it has no content. So the height collapses, and chaos results. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example3.html I've also tried making the "box"es use a display of "inline". But that doesn't work possibly cause inline elements are not supposed to contain block elements. Any recommendations? I'm working on some sortable data tables. I have designed the CSS so the columns look raised and the cells are outlined. The problem is that empty table cells are not outlined in IE. I can fix this by doing a border-collapse, but then I lose the raised look of the headings. I can also fix this by adding a non-breaking space in the individual cells, but the developers tell me that they don't want to add the code to check whether there is data or not and then fill the empty cell with a non-breaking space. So, I'm hoping there's some CSS trick I can use to force IE to outline the empty table cells. Anyone know of any? The attachment shows the look with the empty cells. Hi to all, I have a problem with an empty div. I have created an empty div as follows: Code: <div id="more"></div>Hello Now I set the height property of the empty div equals to 20px. On IE 7.0 it looks fine, with the hello under the empty div, however in FireFox and Opera Hello is being display nearly inside the empty div. What can i do to fix this and make it display always under the empty div? Thanks and Regards, Sim085 ps: I am using the Strick Doc Type. and I need the empty only to colour it in a different colour (for style that is). |
