CSS - Column Issues - Ie/firefox
Screw it.
Similar TutorialsI'm designing a site with a banenr, a left column, a main body, and a right column of multiple floated divs. I can't seem to get the left column to hold its position/color. I've looked at the PIE site and can't seem to tweak my code to work in both IE and Firefox. The look is pretty solid in Firefox, though the body background isn't showing up. But in IE the left column color either floods into the rest of the container below the main div without a clear:both, or disappears altogether with a clear:both. the site is here and the css is here . Thanks. Greetings, Basic Layout is: Page-Containter -> Header-Container -> Side-Container -> Content-Container -> Footer-Container Header is normal Side is a Float Left with a width of 250 Content has a left margin of 260 (to allow for the Side-Container) Footer is normal. Pretty basic. In the content area there are more divisions to handle different sections of data. The problem is that in some of the content sections, I need to have dynamically allocated "blocks" of data that form psuedo "columns". I do this by doing a float:left on each of the content blocks. (generally a 250px width) That way if I show 1 or 5, they all snug up next to each other and wrap properly in the browser. Still pretty basic. Until ... drum roll please ... the next section. Since the content is "float:left", it's removed from the layout and the following sections will just "snug up" next to the last content block. I want the section to "clear" the previous content division, but don't really have a clean way to declare the "height" of that division, due to the dynamic nature of the data. Silly Rabbit ... just do a clear:left !! In IE it works fine. In Firefox, the clear:left command is clearing the previous container! (side-container ... aka: left nav bar) First question: Which browser is right? is IE right and the clear:left should be contained to it's own division? or is firefox right and the clear:left checks all float:left regardless of division? Second question: If IE is right, what is the fix ... if Firefox is right, how should I actually structure this? Hi There, For the last year I've been using a standard CSS layout with 2 columns held within a container. The problem is (and I know this is certainly a common problem) that the left column MUST be longer than the right column or else it flows over and following DIV elements in Firefox. Internet Explorer has no problems with the right column being longer than the left. An example of this is here (to be viewed in Firefox): hosteltrail.com/colombia/example/ Thus far, I've had to manually increase the length of the left column in the instances when it is shorter than the right by simply adding an empty div box. Below is the setup for the page container. #columncontainer { position:relative; margin:auto;width:750px; } #rightcolumn { float:right;width:355px; } #leftcolumn { width:355px; } Does anyone know of a solution to the firefox problem other than adding a div box as a fix? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I've been spending some time moving from HTML 4 and a table-based layout to CSS-based layout and XHTML 1.1 compliance. Most of my site looks fine to me. However, on pages where there is not a lot of content in the right-hand column, the contents of the left-hand column end up looking very wonky in Firefox 0.8. It shows up fine in IE, but I don't trust IE. Here's an example of an offending page: http://www.thatlittlebastad.com/more.php?id=1286_0_1_0_M Here's my CSS file http://www.thatlittlebastad.com/style_040805.css Can anyone help? 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> Using my http://www.thatspotonline.com as an example I'll explain my problem. I'm trying to use a 3 column fluid layout with a header and a footer. I've gotten past the browser problem with IE and now face a new problem with proper display in firefox. With the included css and attached xhtml layout I end up with a rather large gap on the bottom of the design without adding quite a bit of content to make the page length grow. I've tested with about everything else and this problem doesn't show up. I would gladly take some advise if anyone has any thanks. Code: * {

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! Hi CSS gurus, I am a bit stuck with the presentation issues I currently have with my website, http://www.tophatweddings.co.uk. Compare the site layout in IE (6 not 7) and look at it in Firefox. In Firefox you'll notice the borders and backgrounds are not displaying correctly. This is what I want to fix. Has anyone got any suggestions for how I can adjust my CSS to make it display properly in Firefox? Please help I have a div in my header that contains an image. The height of the image is 82px. For some reason in firefox (and chrome too) if I don't set the div height to 125px it gets cut off. It looks OK in IE6 without the height set, but with it set as needed for firefox it then creates a space in IE. My header file has: Code:
<div id= "logo" ><img src = "images/logo_LWV.gif"></div>
<div id = "topNav">
<div id = "topNavMenu">
<a class = "top" href="index.php">Home</a>
<a class = "top" href="about.php">About Us</a>
<a class = "top" href="join.php">Join</a>
<a class = "top" href="funds.php">Special Funds</a>
<a class = "top" href="contact.php">Contact</a>
</div> <!-- end topNavMenu -->
</div> <!-- end topNav -->
</div> <!-- end topBar -->
<div id = "imagebar"><img src = "images/lwvCorvallis.jpg"></div>
<div id = "greenbar">
<div id = "pagetitle">
<p>Title</p>
</div><!-- end pagetitle -->
</div> <!-- end greebar -->
and the css is: Code: #topbar
{
dispaly:block; width: 800px;
}
#logo
{
float:left;
}
#topNav
{
float:right;
width: 612px;
height: 65px;
background-color:#cc0033;
}
#topNavMenu
{
position:relative; top:40px;
text-align:left;
color: white;
}
#imagebar
{
display:block;
width: 800px; height:125px;
}
#greenbar
{
display:block;
width: 800px; height: 90px;
background: url(images/greenbar.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 0;
}
#pagetitle
{
position:relative; left: 200px;top:25px;
width: 600px;
color: white;
z-index: 1;
}
The site is he http://www.lwv.corvallis.or.us/ What's going on? Why do the margin-top values on these layers DO NOTHING in firefox, but act as expected in IE? Which way is actually correct? Also, if I add a float:left to the blue layer, firefox adds a margin-top to the blue and green layers only? This seems very wrong.. How can I get the expected margin-top on each layer? Code: <BODY style="background-color:yellow;"> <div id='blue' style="width:250px; height:250px; display:block; margin-left:1px; margin-top:10px; background-color:blue; position:relative;"> <div id='green' style='width:220px; height:200px; margin-top:10px; background-color:green; display:block; position:relative;'> <!--- prod selector box ---> <div id='gray' style='width:200px; height:150px; overflow:auto; margin-top:10px; margin-left:4px; display:block; background-color:gray; position:relative;'> asdf </div> </div> </div> </BODY> First Issue In this site the Left Navigation top and bottom spacing is somewhat off. First head over to this page: http://www.pricedigital.com/ejs//ad...weight-loss.htm In firefox the navigation ends up being a tad too low, but the way it looks in ie6 and ie7 is how I want it to look in firefox. Any suggestions? This all takes place in sidebar1 Next Issue How do I center an image using just css? Final Issue In IE6 the floated right photos on a few of these pages do not show up correctly. Here is one for example: http://www.pricedigital.com/ejs//ad...lds-pallant.htm How can I go about fixing this? http://www.beckin.com http://www.bestdropshipper.net I just recently updated my firefox to the most available version. This firefox version absolutely sux. I don't know why all these browsers have to keep causing trouble for designers. You will notice that my css style for Beckin Designs no longer works. Code: <style type="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: English;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(fonts/English_.ttf);
}
</style>
If you view this site in other browsers or the firefox version previous to the latest release you will notice it displays fine. However, not in the new firefox. Next, the best dropshipper menu doesn't display correctly either. How can I go about fixing these issues? Do I need to do some time of if statement. Please let me know exactly how to address these issues. Thanks!! sean.dynahosting.net/wordpress ^if you open this in firefox, It is almost exactly how I want, but when you open it in ie, all sorts of troubles arise. Most importantly, the meat of the page (everything except the header and footer) are not centered, and are not 60% of the page, like this: .basic{ font-family: courier new,courier,monotype; font-size: 11px; width: 60%; margin-left: 20%; } says. How much more simply can I put it? Is there anything I can do to fix this, or if not, is there anyway to get browser specific with css? Hello, I am trying to make the table cells in the chart (URL below) at the bottom of the page to be invisible. I have styled the border & background color to #FFFFF (white). When viewed in Firefox, cell borders in gray appear. http://oharenoise.org/2010_news_releases-2.htm Sorry for the "general" title but I don't know what is causing my problems, so it is hard to be specific... I am working on a web application for my summer research project, but I am not very knowledgeable in CSS. For the most part I am able to solve my problems except for the following: Issue 1: Profile Display Issue 1 CSS file The copyright at the bottom. Firefox displays correctly. Explorer displays too much white space above the copyright text. Issue 2 *IMPORTANT*: Profile Display (with missing fields) Issue 2 CSS file The text in the SME Profile does not display correctly when some of the fields are left blank (Issue 1 link shows a full profile). I'm trying to avoid using tables as it would cause some major setbacks in my work. FYI, the pages are dynamically generated so links will not work. Any suggestions? The problem I have has arisen whilst trying to create a horizontal and a vertical navigation menu using <li> tags. It is best illustrated by the following example: Code: <div style="width:100%;height:50px;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> <br /> <div style="width:100px;height:100%;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> and the CSS Code:
div {
border:0;
background-color:#888888;
}
ul {
margin:0;padding:0;
}
ul li {
float:left;
list-style:none;
background-color:#CCCCCC;
height:50px;
width:100px;
}
The <div> tags are set to 50px height and 100px width respectively. When an <li> element is placed within the div with the same height or width they display the way I intended. However once a 1px border is applied to the <li>'s then in IE the border is counted as part of the width or height. In Firefox the border will add 2px to the starting height and width giving the effect of width:102px or height:52px;. This is massively frustrating as I need each <li> to have the 1px border. It looks different in each browser (I have not tested it in netscape nor opera, but I suspect they will display the same as Firefox.) Can anyone provide a fix to get get round this please? Thank you in advance. |
