CSS - Still Fighting Firefox
for some reason in firefox it's putting the second data cell in my table in the next row that doesn't exist, it displays perfectly in IE, and I've triple checked my html, anyone have any ideas??
www.entsource.com/hcs Similar TutorialsI'm trying to avoid using absolute positiioning as much as possible. I want to use paddings and those kind of things. So far I've been able to do what I want. A Problem Now. Why are the words with lines above them messing up so horribly? I have a workaround in mind, but I hate to use it... The code is a little disjointed right now. Don't mind that. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code body { padding: 0px 0px 0px 150px; } #leftSide { position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 155px; top: 0px; left: 0px; background-image: url("Images/SideImages/left.gif"); z-index: 0; } #rightSide { position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 155px; top: 0px; right: 0px; background-image: url("Images/SideImages/right.gif"); } #navLayout { width: 800px; height: 500px; border-style: dotted; border-color: lightblue; align: center; } #mainImage { width: 639px; height: 62px; padding-left: 30px; align: center; } .NavButtons{ padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin-top: 20px; overflow: none; } #educationButton { width: 100px; height: 200px; } #education { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width: 130px; height: 47px; } #businesses { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width: 120px; height: 47px;

Basically, I'm using the negative margins method (described here in an article we probably all know on ALA). This combines neg. margins with Dan Cedarholm's Faux Columns to create a nice two-column layout with a footer that always clears regardless of which column is longer. It could be done fluidly, but this site calls for fixed width @ 760px, so it's in a viewport div. The problem is, I'd like to extend a border {1px solid #eee} between the two columns. I assumed based on my code that I would simply apply a right hand border to the content div, and that (regardless of the non-semantic wrapper div used to keep things kosher with the faux columns) that would draw the necessary line. This seems to have worked fine (with a swap of margin for padding at the bottom of the content div, to keep the area contiguous to the footer). But in IE 6, I noticed a gap at the bottom of the page even with 0 margin. I assumed I was missing somethiing obvious like a whitespace bug for it to work in everything but IE, but alas no -- I can't find the source so I'm hoping one of you pros may do what I can not. Two: Secondly, I'm having endless problems with the "Story Options" <UL>. No matter what I try, I cannot get a consistent alignment of bullet-to-list text accross browsers. Every single one is at least one pixel different. Right now is the closest I can get things to working using background images instead of list-style-image, but frankly I'm near giving up and using a character and just scrapping the custom bullet altogether. Sadly, I may have found a solution earlier but it breaks IE5/Mac which (among other problems) doesn't seem to like background-position definitions, or at least the ones I tried. I sorta need IE5 mac support even though I would otherwise not care, because the office of the content providers for this site is entirely OS9 Mac based. Ick. If anyone knows a solution to this problem off hand though, I would seriously appreciate it before I jump off the roof Here's the code: Click here to see the template. Click here for CSS. Thanks in advance. This really should be the final nail the darn coffin for this project's CSS templates. Then I can get back to the warm snuggle of PHP -- Aiden Just so I don't feel like a moron in front of the pros: I'm totally aware I should be using an inline list with :hover for the navbar, and I'm also aware how much better my unstyled content would look if I used semantic definitions for headlines and such. The reason for the former is deadline and the fact that the current system works on every browser I've tested with - more than I can say about most of this code. The second is because <Hx> spans have an inherited top/bottom margin that extends beyond style, the only way I have found to override being negative margins. Unfortunately, IE6/Win doesn't read these right and screws the whole thing. Thus, I'm using non-semantic proprietary classes for the headlines/subheads, and perfectly OK with that for this project since it works and let's me keep the ledding nice and tight the way the client wants it. I am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it. The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox? You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers. Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem. I'm having an issue where a website is showing up a few pixels off in Mac Firefox than it is in PC firefox. Anyone have a quick fix for this? Mac Screenshots: http://graffetto.com/chops/clairus_screens.pdf PC Firefox Screenshot: Firefox, IE, and Netscape all look identical on PC, while firefox, IE and safari look identical on Mac, but different from PC (except safari - messed up text) Any help is greatly appreciated Edit: after reviewing my post I realized I was quite vague. What I'm looking for is a way to filter CSS so that only Mac Firefox users will receive one CSS file, and PC users will receive another. i read the thread posted about this not too long ago, and tried out the DOCTYPE! tag suggested, along with a few others from W3... however all that did was screw up the page more. anything you could do to help would be great Page Link Hi, I'm having an issue with Firefox displaying my home page correctly. It previews smaller than other pages in my site even though they all share the same style sheet. In IE 7 my site previews fine, the issue is with Firefox for some reason the wrapper seems to shrink on the home page and any help or tips to steer me the right way would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I see there is another post here on this. But it may be a different issue. I was hoping some of the experts could take 30 seconds to see why this looks fine in Firefox and not IE. It did validate at w3c. I am sure there is a hack, but if there is something that sicks out real quick it would be much appreciated. I know everyone gives there extra time here and it is greatly appreciated. echo9design.com/willoughby/index3.html now i don't like saying things like possible bug because 99/100 it's not a bug, but some kind of user error. however, i have the following situation and i thought that describing it as a bug may get people interested in it two tables, both with auto width / height, both the same code. one table is set so that when viewed on screen it has display: none and then when printed it has display: block. if you do a print preview in internet explorer, the page shows two identicle tables. in mozilla, the table expands to fill the width of the page for the hidden table. see html attached for example; load in firefox / ie; do a print preview and you'll see what i mean. any ideas? I created a menu for someone, hideous as it may be, it's what they wanted. However, it works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. This is code I used for the menu. .Menu ul li { float:left; position:relative; list-style-image:url(images/divider2.gif); margin:0 15px 0 20px; padding:0; } I have an image to replace the bullets that would normally appear. In Firefox it appears with the image as it should, but in Internet Explorer it is not showing up like it should. my css in IE is GREAT and look good. but on firefox, it doesnt show my background and all that. can anyone give me some suggestions. www.na-magodai.net I have a site using CSS for layout It has one main div called main-column that sits in the middle of the page and has a background image. Within this there are 3 columns columns. the trouble is the background of the main column does not show up behind these three. If you right click it says there is a background image there but nothing is showing. my css is: Code: #main-column
{
width:750px;
height: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-image:url(/site_images/bodyback.jpg);
}
#left-column
{
width:150px;
float:left;
}
#contents-column
{
width:450px;
float:left;
}
#right-column
{
width:150px;
float:right;
}
and html is: Code: <!-- Start of main column -->
<div id="main-column">
<!-- Start of Left Column Div -->
<div id="left-column">
<? include("../includes/leftnav.php"); ?>
<!-- End of Left Column Div -->
</div>
<!-- Start of contents Column Div -->
<div id="contents-column">
<? include("../includes/main.php"); ?>
</div>
<!-- Start of right Column Div -->
<div id="right-column">
<? include("../includes/rightnav.php"); ?>
<!-- End of right Column Div -->
</div>
<!-- End of Main Column Div -->
</div>
Any idea how I can correct this? Have a page at www.maxxedmotors.com/damo There is a div called "container" which is supposed to surround all of the content with a border. This works fine in IE 6/5.x, but in firefox the border only surrounds the div called "header". Can anyone tell me where i'm being dumb Any help greatfully appreciated. I built a website and its rendering one way in firefox and another in IE. I want it to display just the way Firefox has it. However, IE keeps messing up the padding and the whole layout is destroyed. Can anyone look at my code and tell me where I am going wrong? Please can someone tell me what I must do to get the code working in both IE and Firefox. users.accesscomm.ca/kendemchuk/test/education_tmp.html preview in firefox and IE. Lines appear in IE but not firefox This is related to the display of a text box on mouseover. why ?? is there a better method ?? My website works fine with all browsers except IE. Can anyone help me with the issue? www.opennys.com It uses CSS and xHTML and PHP. Thanks, Dennis I have two divs on a page and the last two are about 10 pixels higher up the screen than the last one. But if I adjust the window size they move back down where they should be. This only happens on of the pages though which is quite odd. Does anyone know of any firefox bugs that would cause this and any work-arounds? Can someone please help me, i am desparate to intergrate transparency into my forum but im finding out what a pain in the *** it is. I tried semi transparent png's, but they only work in firefox and IE7 but most people are using IE6 (42.3%). I looked around on the internet for a fix that solves the ie6 png transparency issue but i didnt find one that shows it as semi transparent and doesnt bugger all of the links. Now ive moved onto CSS, ive found a solution that works great for IE 6 + 7 but not firefox. What happens is i apply a transparent css to the pagebackground: Code: filter:alpha(opacity=50); opacity: 0.5; but it applies it to everything on top as well. To get around this i apply a non transparent css to everything on top: Code: filter:alpha(opacity=100); opacity: 1; This works fine in IE making the background transparent and the contents on top solid but in firefox everything (including the content and the background) is transparent. Is there anything i can do to get around this? Its getting really annoying! Any help you can give would be much appreciated. James I have a question regarding CSS and it's compatibility with FireFox, the problem is, when I have the CSS in a seperate file (e.g. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="content.css"> ) it wont work in FireFox browser, works fine in Internet Explorer, but when I copy and paste the CSS directly onto the page, in between the <head> </head> tags of course, it works fine in FireFox and Internet Explorer fine, what am I doing wrong, do I need to specify something in the "stylesheet type" tag above? Any help would be great! hi in Internet Explorer, this style works fine and when i print it prints the div and hides it on screen. however, in firefox, it does not hide the div on screen. can anyone help with this? many thanks Code: <style media="print">
.noPrint { display:none;}
.Hidden { display:inline;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
}
</style>
<style media="screen">
.Hidden { display:none;}
