CSS - Strange Behavior
Hi. I have noticed a strange behavior with my CSS and I cannot figure out a way to fix it. I have some css to override the body tag style. It sets the font family and size. I need to do this.
However, when I use the font-size in the body, it adds extra pixels to a set of span tags that I use. (see attached picture). Here is my code. Does anyone know how I can include the font-size in the body, but not have that extra space in my div tags? Note: the sample image contains images on the edge of the tabs, but their presence has no effect on the issue. Also, this is for IE 6 on Windows. Thanks, Dave Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:11px; /* with this line, extra space appears */
}
.tab_off
{
height:17px;
overflow:hidden;
cursor:hand;
}
.tab_off_text
{
background:#ACA899;
height:15px;
font-size:10px;
border-top:1px solid #aaaaaa;
border-bottom:1px solid #ECECEC;
padding-left:4px;
padding-right:4px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.tabbed_panel
{

border-left:1px solid #666666;
border-bottom:1px solid #666666;
border-right:1px solid #666666;

Similar TutorialsI have a very strange quirk going on with my development site right now. It's being developed locally so I can't provide a link to test with. However, I can describe the exact behavior. When any browser is maximized, everything looks great. If you size the browser, dragging any corner in any direction, again, the site looks great. However if you hit the restore down button on any browser, the following occurs: (Example) Browser max is 1900 x 1080. Browser 'restore down' is 1024x768. When hitting restore down the site looks fine at first glance. However, if you drag the horizontal scroll bar down at the bottom of the browser to the right, a large white gap appears in place of the header, the menu, the body, the footer where the background should be. (On the links below you will need to add an h t t p : / / to see the image issues I'm having. For some reason, I can't post any and it's really the only way I can show how this issue is occurring. Here is what it looks like before dragging horizontal bar: img21.imageshack.us/img21/2602/beforedrag.jpg Here is the strange gap pictu img31.imageshack.us/img31/6199/strangegap.jpg Again, if I grab the corner of the browser itself and drag diagonally and resize, the background fills and stretches exactly the way it should. Anyone have an idea of what might be causing it? I'm using a div container as a wrapper: div#container { text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; } Header contains a flash file. Menu contains: background-image: url(/images/menu-background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; My main nav content is in a smaller container: #nav-main { position:inherit; white-space:nowrap; width:913px!important; font-family:helvetica, sans-serif; margin: auto auto!important; } Any ideas for what I need to do to fix this? Many thanks. I'm currently working on the CSS template for a new client and running into a strange issue. The design calls for a separation bar of repeated background to resemble a negative strip (site is a portfolio piece for a commercial photographer), and below that the continuation of a gradation. For some reason, however, in Mozilla-based browsers a gap (visually as if it was a top margin) is appearing in the background repeat (gradation) in the pageblock. To see it, visit http://www.spearsphotography.com/test_index.html in Firefox or another Moz browser. The strange thing is... I noticed the contained news items were not being pushed down (that is to say, it wasn't a margin issue). I tried changing the CSS definition of the background image position on the div, etc. Finally to see exactly where the browser was drawing the div, I set a 1px green border on #pageblock. Oddly enough it fixed it! (weird, huh?) This is especially strange since the float: right; div with the splash image -is- affected by the mysterious "margin". You can see that by going to http://www.spearsphotography.com/test_index2.html. (Contains an inline style to add the border to #pageblock The css file is at http://www.spearsphotography.com/css/style.css I just don't get it. This was all coming together so quickly from the Photoshop mockups, and now a brick wall that is driving me mad. Well strange on IE 5.2 for mac (I am assuming others are ficked too) I have a div in which I want to put paragraphs in... Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#midRight {
position:relative;
top:20px;
left:160px;
width:550px;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border:1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="midRight">
<p>line1</p>
<p>line2</p>
<p>line3</p>
<p>line4</p>
<p>line5</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Everything works fine on firefox (as one would expect) but on IE the first paragraph displays fine (at the left edge of the DIV) but all the rest indent themselves to the right by 160px (or whatever I change the left:xx px; of the div to. This is bizzare! I cant work out why the first one would be fine but all the rest indented. Anybody know how I can fix this? (so IE looks like this) Code:
line 1
line2
line3
line4
line5
etc Hi. I have a nav bar on my site which I created using Suckerfish Dropdowns. my <UL>-s id is "nav". Everything is working when I hide secong level list by Css: Code: ul ul{display:none;}
But when I change it to (so as to not hide all second level lists) Code: ul#nav ul{display:none;}
, the browser still hides the list, but didn't show it on hover! : Code: li:hover ul, li.sfhover ul{
display: block;
}
This behaviour seems very strange for me. Can anyone explain me that? The address of the page is http://www.dinal.ru/new/ Thank you. Artashes Hello, I am having an issue with some background images. Ive finally decided on a method to create my rounded corners. I am using three divs, a top bottom and center content div. The top and bottom divs have a background image for the top and bottom portions of the curved box. The center div contains the content and a background image repeating along the x-axis. Problem is, the image repeating stops just shy of the top and bottom images. Is there a way to solve this? When I place a border around the center div, the repeating image portion suddenly fills in the gaps, which I don't quite understand. Here is a link to a development area where I am displaying the problem: http://www.ioforge.com/ezt-example/index.html Hi all, I'm building my first experimental CSS site, and I'm trying to attain accessibility for the widest array of users. While testing various browser settings, I came across this issue. (I'm looking at the site in IE, as I'm at work. I'll be able to look it over in other browsers when I get home.) When my site is viewed with text set to "Medium," everything appears fine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ When my site is viewed with text set to "Larger," the text in the middle left section doesn't fit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ Fair enough. But here's what has me stumped: when the site is viewed with the text set to "Largest," it fits again: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25144998@N00/4997174984/ I've learned alot very quickly in the last week or so, but this really has me over a barrel.

I haven't seen this one before. And I can't for the life of me figure out what could be causing this. Take a look at This Page To see what I'm talking about, you'll need to view it in a good browser first (Mozilla, Netscape, Opera) Then look in IE. Basically there's an H3 that also serves as a link to my RSS Feed page. You don't see it in IE unless you actually hover the mouse over it. Even then, if you move the mouse over the menu on the left, the heading disapears again. At first I thought it could be because it was a heading, but on another page a regular link does it too. I've got two stylesheets, and it does it on both. Any thoughts or suggestions? Here's the main stylesheet This pertains to the "last nail in the coffin" so to speak in cross-browser compatability with the template for this site. The template is at http://www.spearsphotography.com/test_index.html The effect in question is on paragraph tags in the news item elements under the pagebody id div. (e.g., #pageblock div.story p ). Essentially, in every browser -except- IE Windows, the line spacing is as intended by the design. In IE6Win (haven't tested 5, but assume same) the lines are too-tight. Can anyone see the problem here, or has experienced this before? CSS File is at: http://www.spearsphotography.com/css/style.css Thanks. Hello there. I'm afraid I can't provide a live example because it's a complicated commission that hasn't yet been published, but I'll try to be as specific and detailed as possible. My overall aim: To have a squarish div on the left hand side and a few short rectangular divs vertically stacked on the right hand side of a container. The container is a div whose width is known. The stacked rectangles must have a minimum width but there is some margin for error. All these divs are separated by margins. Code: OOOO === OOOO OOOO === OOOO OOOO === There are other, unrelated blocks above and below this arrangement, and there are blocks nested within these divs as well, all unrelated though. So how did I implement this? I figured this was simple enough: Code: <div> ... <div class="left-square">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> ... </div> And the CSS would then look something like this: Code:
.left-square {
width: 100px;
height: ...px;
float: left;
}
.right-short-rectangle {
margin-left: 110px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
height: ...px;
}
So, this works just fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer. However, for some reason, Chrome doesn't like it. What Chrome does is, it completely ignores the margin on the right-short-rectangles, placing them underneath the floating left-square, but giving them the correct width (the width of the container minus the margin). By fooling around with the DOM inspector, I discovered that if I remove the margin attribute from one of the rectangles, they show correctly (in Chrome). However, they obviously will break in Firefox and Internet Explorer if I do that. Also, if I remove the float attribute from the square, Chrome suddenly recognizes the margins of the rectangles properly (when it no longer matters). So, does anyone have any idea about what's going on here? EDIT: I just noticed this and it is certainly relevant: The right-short-rectangles contain a few *unstyled* divs and one div that is floated to the RIGHT (in other words, content I want to have on the right hand side of each of these rectangles). Without this inner, right-floated div, the margin issue no longer happens in Chrome. The inner div is, however, essential. What can I do? Use tables? I have a big div container. In this container, I put my content - mostly text. I have a nested div in this container that floats a "sidebar" to the upper-left corner of the container. The sidebar is set up to allow text in the container to fill in around the bottom half of the side bar if the sidebar is shorter than the length of the container. My problem occurs when I have an unordered list as part of my content. If I have an unordered list sitting to the right of the sidebar, the bullets of the list sit immidiately on the right the left of the sidebar (with no indenting). Below the sidebar, all bulleted lists starts indenting from the left of the container, as expected. One solution would be to put my content in it's own div, that would be completely separate from the sidebar div. However, if I do this, my content won't fill in around the bottom of my sidebar. Any advice? Thanks! - Ryan Hi there. I have a blank space that appears as a link when my animated T-R MENU button is clicked. Click here to view the problem It didn't do this in the last version of FF... I can't see why it's doing it, there aren't blank spaces in the code to make it behave this way. Opera, Safari and IE view it fine. Just FF3 that's doing it. Can anyone shed some light on why it's doing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Hello to all, I have a problem of compatibility when using Safari (V3). I have a strange interface and i can't identify the problem. When I refresh my page,I don't have the same css !!!! The same interface is testing wit hFirefox and IE and it's ok. Can you help me please. Thank you in advance for your time. sorry for the double post - reworded the question and reposted. Go to this page in Firefox 1.5, and view the post titled "The Definition of a Know-it-All". Notice that the first letter of this post does not line up with the second line as it should. The line itself has moved one or two pixels up. This bug appears to be triggered by these factors (all must be present):
Firefox 1.5
First letter is floated
First letter is "I"
Paragraph is two lines long
Browser is in Standards mode
It looks fine in 1.0.7. It looks fine when the letter is not "I". It looks fine if the paragraph is longer than two lines. And it looks fine if you disable the DOCTYPE tag! What could be causing this? And is there a workaround I could use? Why is this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'> RECENT BLOGS </span> </div> different than this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'>RECENT BLOGS</span> </div> Why is IE7 adding its own padding when i don't add a nl between the span and the content within the span? It's the display:block issue that also happens with images. But I just can't understand why IE7 would add spacing there, the 2 above are almost identical. I set up my photo pages so that each photo is in its own "bin" div with a caption. Each bin has the same width but different heights due to different caption lengths. All of the bin divs are coded to float left, so they stack vertically when there is only enough screen width for one. When the screen is wide enough to accomodate more than one, the divs that are wrapped to the next line (so to speak) start below the tallest previous div which can leave a lot of empty space. I'm sorry if this is confusing, a perfect example of what I am talking about can be found here with a browser window over 1024px wide: http://www.bsuto.com/photoblog/2006/05/27/ And the css is he http://www.bsuto.com/internal/sheet.css Does anybody have an idea of how to eliminate the empty space? Thank you all so much. Okay I am trying my best to let go of HTML tables and move to the wonderful world of using CSS for layout. I continue to find that, although it may be an archaic way of doing things, most of the time using tables for layout is the quickest and most accurate way for me to get the job done. Please don't hate, because I want to become more knowledgeable at using CSS! So in my latest project I have a problem. I have a navigation bar that stretches always accross my page. In that navigation bar I have two primary things: on the left I have a menu section, and on the right I have a login section. In the past I would have easily implemented the layout with tables, using something like this... <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr style="background-color: black;"> <td align="left">[stuff for my menu section]</td> <td align="right">[stuff for my login section]</td> </tr> </table> The end result would be a solid black navigation bar that would contain the stuff for the menu section on the left and the stuff for the login section on the right. Each would sit inside and flush against its respective side of the containing solid black navigation bar. Also, this navigation bar would automatically adjust its height to contain both sections, no matter how tall. Pretty simple stuff, right? So now I am trying my best to figure out how to do this with CSS. At this point I have only a very crude understanding of how CSS and divs work in layouts. I started out by making a container div... <div id="NavigationBar" style="background-color:black;"> </div> ...then I embedded a div for each section... <div id="NavigationBar" style="background-color:black;"> <div id="MenuSection"> [stuff for menu section] </div> <div id="LoginSection"> [stuff for login section] </div> </div> ...When I ran the page I quickly noticed the output was quite different than what I expected. It showed my black navigation bar, but it stacked the login section along the left side and just under the menu section. So after some reading I discovered I should be able to solve the problem by assigning 'float:left' to the menu section div and 'float:right' to the login section div. And so I did. While this did cause each to appear in the correct location (menu section on the left, login section on the right), it also had an undesirable effect. Each section, after attachment of the 'float' styles, was no longer contained in the parent div. As a result each no longer contained the background color of the parent. And so now, while I have a partial solution, I am still left wondering what I should do to continue on and solve this issue. What I really need is for each section to be *contained* within the parent div and also use its background color, while also aligning properly to the left or right sides of the parent div. In other words, I want the black background color of the navigation bar to be shown behind my menu and login sections. And if my menu should render at 40 pixels high, 300 pixels high...whatever, the containing parent div should adjust to contain it, just like an HTML table would. For me, setting 'height' values for the parent div (essentialy in the background) and then using 'float' styles is not a good solution. What if the menu is rendered using a different font and thus changes heights? And even more important, what if a user does not view the page in standard 96DPI mode? In either case the rendered heights of the menu and login sections could change. If I were using tables this would not be a problem; the table would simply adjust to the needed height, no matter what. How can I get the same effect when using CSS and divs? I'm not extremely familiar with CSS, as I've only used a few simple implementations of it. Please move this if it's in the wrong place, but I was wondering if it was possible to alter the behavior of <a> tags so that when clicked, instead of loading the page specified in the src, it executes a JavaScript function, providing the src for a value. It seems to me that this would be done through CSS. I could go through and replace each "src='src'" with "onClick='function(src)'", but there are far too many pages, each with far too many links, to edit. So it seems it would be easier to simply import a CSS style in each page that'll have the same effect. Any ideas? I have two column divs in my main div. They have the same margin setting but the second one mainright seems to be ignoring it... and both have width tags (that's doing something). (URL address blocked: See forum rules) and (URL address blocked: See forum rules) my wrapper has a min-width of 780px Is it margin doubling? when i took the border and margin out of the mainleft div, it slammed to the wall of the container div. is there a hack for this? i want my 2 columns to have identical alignment... Code:
#left {
float:left;
width:230px;
text-align:left;
font-size: 12px; border:1px solid red;
}
#left p {/* margin:10px;*/ padding:0;}

width:250px;
border:1px solid red;
text-align:left;
}
#mainright {
margin:5px;
padding:5px;
/**/ position:relative;
