CSS - My First Table-less Layout Is Giving Me Problems

Hello all,

Its my first post here so you'll have to bear with my ignorance for code! (im just a lowly designer struggling to learn HTML)

Heres the site im having problems with
http://www.madewithpixels.co.uk

ive been hammering away at this over the last two weeks trying to sort out all sorts of cross browser problems... the aim being to get the whole thing rendering exactly the same on all browsers / all platforms...

Ive sorted the cross browser issues... but am having problems with layout of the page on MAC Internet Explorer 5.2 (everything is a-ok in safari)

The problem is (for those of you without access to a mac) the main navigation links in the top frame. they are aligned perfectly well on my PC in all browsers... but in MAC IE5.2 the alignment is all over the place....

I was originally using <span>'s to set the line spacing / padding of each line, but to ensure cross browser support I had to swith to using <DIV>'s inside a .container style in the CSS.... i am positive that this is where the problem lies as the text lined up perfectly on the MAC before i switched from <SPAN> to <DIV>'s

ANY help at all here would be greatly appreciated... i am soooo close yet so very far away!

thanks

Mike

**edit**
ive just been playing around with this for an hour and found that changing the text size within IE MAC to say 90% and then changing it back to 100% seems to correct the problem.... curious, now im even more baffled than before!

Resolved.

..

This picture((URL address blocked: See forum rules) ) will show you the page layout at the moment, Here you can see a lot of lines in paint i did.


Edit2: The picture damaged page formatting so here it is:
img206.imageshack.us/img206/107/57260190dy8.png

The Pink lines are what i ideally want to happen, however, my "posts" are overlapping into my right hand navigations (the red dotted lines).

I fixed this with a z-index for now but i really need a solution to this
Id prefer it if i had some kind of Div tag which Held the two content areas seperate (as posts will wrap around the navigations) this is displayed in the orange boxes.

If anyone could offer some help id greatly appreciate it its just annoying me .... and ive only just learnt CSS layouts so i can only fix so much


Code was a bit long, but as i cant Link to it for some reason ill spam it he

Hey everyone, first time poster here as I just found this site. Hope someone can help me fix my css problems I'm having on the site.

http://intlops.orbisblue.com/testing2/

What I'm looking to do is to have the IOPS logo sitting just ontop of the content box centered. Then the two pictures, Americas and Africa within the content box spaced evenly side by side with the text below them that is bulleted.

Hello.
I am 2 problems with my site. In firefox everything is ok in IE6 & IE 7 is is broken.

Here are the problems.

1. The search bar.

It should look like this(Firefox):
URL
But in IE it looks like this:
URL

The HTML code is:
Code:

<div class="search_menu_banner">
     <div class="search_background">
       <div class="searchname">Search</div>
	   <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
       <div class="searchbox">
         <label>
		 </form>
         <input type="text" class="searchtextbox" name="s" id="searchtextbox" />
         </label>
       </div>
       <div class="searchbox">
	   <input type="image" style="float: left; display:inline; position:relative;" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/go.png" alt="Search" />
         
		 </form>
		 
       </div>

And the CSS:
Code:

.search_menu_banner {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 38px;
	width: 1004px;
}
.search_background {
	background-image: url(images/search.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 38px;
	width: 363px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 74px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	margin-left: 25px;
}
.searchname {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #9a2500;
	text-decoration: none;
	float: left;
	height: 20px;
	padding-top: 12px;
	padding-right: 8px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 50px;
	margin: 0px;
}

.searchtextbox {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #333333;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 19px;
	width: 200px;
	border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
.searchtextbox:hover {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #333333;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	height: 19px;
	width: 200px;
	border: 1px solid #999999;
}
#searchform {

	margin: 0px;

	padding: 0px;

	overflow: hidden;

	}

	

.searchbox {
	font-family: Arial;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #9a2500;
	text-decoration: none;
	float: left;
	height: 20px;
	padding-top: 8px;
	padding-right: 8px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
}

And the second problem involves multiple column lists.
In FF it looks like this:
URL
But in IE it only shows the last column:
URL

The HTML for these is:
Code:

<ul>
  <li class="col1"><b>Ale Noastre</b></li>
  <li class="col1"><a href="http://viatadestudent.com/category/video/">Video</a></li>

</ul>

And the CSS:
Code:

#footer ul {

	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	font-size: 11px;
	list-style: none; 
}

#footer li {
	line-height: 1.3em; 
	margin: 0px;

	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

	background-repeat: no-repeat; 
	list-style: none;
}

#footer li.reset
  {
    margin-top: -6.5em;
  }
#footer html ul li
{
	position: relative;
}



#footer li.col1 {margin-left: -35em;}
 
#footer li.col2 {margin-left: -20em;}
 
#footer li.col3 {margin-left: -5em;}

}

Hi there

I have done my first CSS based design, it has bassed w3c validation both for the html and css.

It looks exactly how I want in firefox, but in IE7 it is all messed up.

I would be really grateful if someone could take a look and let me know where I am going wrong.

There are two issues in IE7

1. Content seems to go under the footer and lose the correct background.

2. Horizontal navigation menu button look weird.

You can view the page at

as I have not redireceted DNS yet

hey guys,

I am learning how to design a website right now, and to get started I take layouts that still exists and replacet them.

I want to create a layout such such as that:

http://www.girlfriendnyc.com

My code looks like that

Code:

#global {
    background: none repeat ,#262626;
    display: block;
    height: 99px;
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

#global .nav-wrapper {
    background-color: #222222;
    height: 99px;
    margin: auto;
    width: 1200px;

}

Code:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="anna.css" />
</head>

<body>
	<div id="global">
		<div class="nav-wrapper">

<body>

My Problem is why do these 2 Boxes do not fit together?

greetings and thx in advance

This may be a wordpress issue or it may be an issue with my coding that I've modified in my css/settings for the theme, but I can't get the site to display consistently across all three major browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome). My site: www(.)cinemasight(.)com

For some reason, Firefox is adding a margin (20px maybe?) to the "Content" div. This isn't present in IE and Chrime is adding an image to the background of the "Content" div that isn't present in any of the CSS that I can find.

Similarly, in the upper right hand section, with the Facebook, RSS and Twitter links, the Google Search bar is displaying entirely differently on all three browsers.

Code posted below:

Can anyone tell me why www.thecharliepoweragency.com

wont auto stretch in firefox, it also has layout problems in ie5mac and safari.

ok i have a problem, i have the layout working as i want perfectly in IE and it looks good :P but it does not work at all in firefox, im a complete newb when it comes to css, havn't' done much work with it at all :P

heres my site, it has waht i have so far up on it for you guys to have a look to see waht the problem is www.zombies-ate-my-brain.com

heres the jist of it URL

all my images on the site are all backgrounds to the css divs, all the content is in its own div and i will be ontop of all the images, but im trying to get it, that as i add more content in teh content div the div with the bar addon bit will just keep repeating, if that makes sence, if you look on my site using IE you will see it works, but if you look using firefox you see it wont, lemme post my code for you..

Code:

Hey, I'm new to this board and CSS design in general.

I have a question that I couldn't figure out or find anywhere.

(FF) Although I set the div width to 666 (not intentional), why is the background color only appearing in IE? FF doesn't display the bg. I'm assuming it has something to do with the unordered list, because it all works fine if I replace the list with text, however, I can't find a solution because I need the list in there.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Hi everyone,
Please take a look at this site:
http://174.122.106.156/~johanna/php

The layout is fine in FF3.6, Chrome9, IE7 and IE8, but in IE6, the layout is buggered.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong and why?

Also, what is a good way to debug/troubleshoot layout problems in IE6? Currently, I use IETester to "view" pages in different versions of IE, but I can't poke around with the IE Developer Plugin or FireBug and know exactly what's the offending code.

How do you guys find and fix IE6-specific layout issues?

Thanks.

OK, first off from a bad experience on another CSS Forum , I will have to begin with a disclaimer:

The blog you're about to view is my original content. I did not steal this work. I did however use Photoshop brushes that were made by others to create my work. The credit is properly given to those people on my active blog.

The blog that I'm having CSS/HTML problems with is INCOMPLETE, so you will not see any credits their yet. It is NOT MY REAL BLOG. I change the template there about every month with new experiements.

It's sad that I have to take up so much time to write a disclaimer because too many people out their jump on the "YOU PLAGIARIZER - YOU DID IT" bandwagon. So, I was told by a very presumptious group of forum members to write a disclaimer in the future.

Whew! Now that I got that outa the way.........

I need help.

This is the site I'm having trouble with.

Main Index Template

Sidebar

Stylesheet

I've been working on this same template for a week now. I'm not the type to ask for help. I'm very stubborn and prefer to do things on my own because it's usually faster and easier. But now I'm tearing my hair out - not able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

My blockquote is bleeding off the screen. I'll start with that for now. I've tried div's, widths, margins, paddings. Believe me, I've toyed with every possibility out there.

Not only that, but I can't tell you how many "CSS/HTML" (including the w3 schools) help pages I've read out there. None of them have supplied what I need to know to fix my layout.

If any of you have the slighest clue, please help. I'd really appreciate it!!
