CSS - Border Issue In Mozilla

I'm building a series of navigation links in boxes on top of each other. I want to pad the links inside their div tags 3 pixels all the way around. I'm seperating the boxes using the border property, 1px solid on the bottom of each cell. The top and the bottom are handled in a seperate class.

In firefox, the brower adds the 3 pixels to the overall width (maybe six since I'm padding left/right) so the page comes out like this:

---------
| Link 1 |
-------------
| Link 2 |
-------------
| Link 3 |
-------------

Now in IE, it looks correctly. I'm not sure which one is correct, but since IE looks right I assume it's correct. Any way to get the padding to be handled consistently in 2 browsers?

Okay, I know this has been discussed a lot here and I did a lot of searching including reading through ie problem with drop down menu, but I'm still having a heckuva time getting mine to work.

Here it is:

When viewing in IE, on any parent menu item with children, it expands downward a few pixels when hovered over.

I'm shooting for something like this:

The *html hack isn't fixing it like I hoped. What am I missing?

Second, and not as major, in FF my top border (in red) doesn't extend the entire length of the li for either the parent or the children. Thoughts on that?

Thanks again!

Hey all,

I am working on completely redoing our website (FizzPow.com) I have a border-right: on my left column in a wordpress template I am modifying. It looks fine in Chrome, IE9, Safari5, but in FF7, it moves my right column all the way down.

Here's the site:
FizzPow.com/newsite

I am an experienced programmer but fairly novice with HTML/CSS. Please be kind and I very much appreciate your help!

I have the following code in my page for the links styles:

Code:

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #000099;
	text-decoration: none;
	background-color: #C4E4F7;
	border: 1px solid #000066;
}
a:hover {
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #FC6103;
	text-decoration: none;
	background-color: #FFEAD5;
	border: 1px solid #974B00;
}

The thing is, that in firefox, the code works fine, but on IE the top and bottom border sections are not displayed... Can't understand why...

Any ideas how to fix it?

It shows as the border image twice. Er...I mean the image is showing twice and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the bottom part to stretch more to meet the content. I don't want to try pixels though because that wouldn't be fluid : \. Any help?

using css i've got a table in a div: e.g.

div
padding: 20px

table
width: 540px
border: 10px solid red;

result: the div including it's own padding should be 600px wide but using the html strict dtd ie is in strict mode (confirmed by other measurements) the whole width of the table is 540px including the borders. also setting box-sizing to contents . thoughts?

My site is: adventurevalley.ca/jason

The current CSS file appears to work problem free in IE7 and FF, but Im having no luck in IE6. I realise things like the hover highlighting and menu indent will not work which I am fine with, however the corners and different box size are driving me insane. Can someone please point me in the right direction?!

Thanks,
Jason

the 2 pages below have some general layout css issues, like too much white space above the grey line AND though they both use the same right bar (I uses a PHP include) the format is different in both. The green line is the toughest...it won't extend the height of the page.

Any ideas?

I attached my style sheet as well. thanks.

Hello,

Here is an example of the issue I'm having..
http://www.patricksaviation.com/backend.php

In Firefox and IE, the border color is correct, but in Opera the color is just black; this is caused by applying border-collapse: collapse. I tried adding, in addition to to the standard html bordercolor, a CSS border-color, which helped change Opera to a dark green (not the right color, but closer) but it also causes the border color in IE to darken (the wrong color).

Does anyone know what causes this or how I could fix it?

Thanks,
Patrick

Something like this gives real thick and uneven borders, is it possible to make the borders combine and become one single border when they are next to each other?

I don't want to use seperate border-top border-left etc ...

Thank you.

Code:

<HTML>
	<HEAD>
		<style type="text/css">
			div.table div
			{
				border			: 1px solid black;
				/* border-collapse		: collapse; */
			}
			div.table div.tr
			{
				clear			: both;
			}
			div.table div.tr div.th
			{
				float			: left;
				font-weight		: bold;
				width			: 25%;
			}
			div.table div.tr div.td
			{
				float			: left;
				width			: 25%;
			}

Now it all works but sometimes when i scroll the page down and then up, SOME of the link's border have disappeared, i can fix this by moving my mouse of the links and the border appear but i was wondering is it to do with CSS/html?
the only other thing could be my Screen/monitor's refresh rate

Hello all,

My website appears fine on Firefox 3.6.7 but not on IE 8 (it is missing the borders on the article text area and the login box is up too high). I notice you can't include URLs in the post for new members so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm trying to put a 1px line on the bottom of my header that spans the width all the way. I've used border-bottom: 1px and border-style: solid; but I still have a looks like 3px border all the way around my header.

Also I have my unordered list inside of my header div and it's placed directly below my header.

Any help much appreciated, just learning how to layout.

I like dashed underline links. The trouble is a couple of sections of my site use line-height and vertical-align to center their content. This means that applying a border-bottom: 1px dashed black; to an href has the effect that the underline appears at the bottom of the line height and not directly underneath the link. Is there a way to overcome this?

Hi.

Have created some simple tabs using table cells.

Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color.
Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black.

Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox.

If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell.

So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox...
and hopefully most other browsers...

See code below:

Code:

	a.menu_top:hover {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;}
	a.menu_top:active {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;}

1. Load the page.<br>
2. Click Item 4.<br>
3. Click Item 2.<br><br>
Why is the bottom border of the menuelements (table cells) not getting correct in Firefox?<br>
None-active menuelements should have a border-bottom = black, active should have same bottom-border as page.<br>
Notice that I use border-collapse on the table in order to get the cell-border 1px thick between the menuitems.<br>
If I remove border-collapse, then there is no strange behaviour in Firefox.<br>
Any way to get this working in Firefox without breaking it in IE?
