CSS - Position:absolute In Safari Broken? Workaround?
I believe I may have found a CSS bug in Safari, but wanted to run this by some experts for advice, and a possible workaround - I haven't been able to find one yet.
What I'm trying to do is position an iframe directly to the right of a table, and have it ALWAYS be to the right, even if it causes the page to horizontally scroll. I was able to achieve this in Mozilla, Opera, and (even) IE [have not tested IE/Mac] by making the iframe absolutely positioned, but inside a relatively-positioned span element immediately after the table, like so: Code:
<html> <head>
<style>
.maintab {float: left;}
.framediv1 {position: absolute;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><table border=1 class="maintab">
<tr><td>Col 1, a short column</td><td>Col 2, which is longer than Col 1</td>
<td>Col 3: an even longer column that isn't fixed-width</td></tr>
</table>
<span style="position:relative">
<iframe class=framediv1 name=framediv width=250 height=200 frameborder="0" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></iframe>
</span>
</body> </html>
As I mentioned, this has the desired effect in Moz, IE, Opera. However, in Safari, it's positioning the iframe relative to the left margin, rather than the right-edge of the table, where the <span> is expected to be. I'm about 90% confident this is a Safari bug, because the position:absolute should be using the last non-staticly positioned parent container (the span) to determine where to put it. Anyone care to confirm? Better still, anybody have a workaround (other than using a table inside a table - blech!) Thanks, Keith Similar TutorialsHello, I am trying to have make a 'facebook' style toolbar fixed to the bottom of the screen. This works on desktop browsers except Mobile Safari on the iPhone (due to the 'viewport' way of rendering the page). Is their a workaround for this? I have seen doctyper's method but can't get it to work. Thanks I'm using the "first-letter" feature with CSS which shows up fine in IE, but is totally off in Mac's Safari. Any suggestions on a workaround? The following is what I have currently: In main.css file: p.initial:first-letter { font-size: 300%; float: left} In actual page: <p class="initial">Welcome! I have having issues with IE displaying my page wrong. The page is http://]http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/about.php (or any page within that site) and the css can be found at http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/cetr.css It displays fine in Firefox and Opera but IE makes the content class lower from the top than the #right navigation bar (they should both be 20 pixels form the top) Any help much appreciated. Code: .content {
position:relative;
width:320px;
margin-left: 125px;
margin-top: 20px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:white;
padding:10px;
z-index:3;
}
#right {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
top:20px;
left:500px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:white;
padding:10px;
z-index:1;
}
Is it possible to position something below a division that has the property { position: absolute } and can expand to a varied length depending on what is contained with it? If I do something like this: .divSubHomeRtPhoto { position: absolute; left: 340px; top: 167px; width: 420px; height: 420px; } Then <div class="divSubHomeRtPhoto"> my left and top positions don't seem to take in IE 5.2 for Mac. This seems to be fairly well known, from what I read on the internet. What this means for me though, is that I have to almost do away with positioning through CSS if I want my pages to work with IE 5.2 Mac, whcih I recently discoverd I do want to work. How do other cross browser CSS writes deal with this problem? Thanks for your help CJB Im trying to get an image to center in a div. It works as long as one part of my CSS is commented out. The issues is the part that is breaking it, is required for another script to run that I have not added in due to its vast amount of code. Can anyone tell me a workaround.. leaving the MUST have code in place. Im willing to add anything to the code, just not remove if possible. Full Code Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#image {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width:356px;
height:356px;
border:1px solid blue;
}
#image * {
vertical-align: middle;
}
/*\*//*/
#image {
display: block;
}
#image span {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
}
/**/
</style>
<!--[if IE]><style>
#image span {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
}
</style><![endif]-->
<style type="text/css">
#image img {position:absolute;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="image"><span></span><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/olympics08_rhythm.gif"></div>
</body>
</html>
Code that MUST stay in the CSS Code: #image img {position:absolute;}
Just to note, the rest of the code is for the most part an exact dup of the cross-browser image center in div code here, http://www.brunildo.org/test/img_center.html I'm putting together a site using a CSS template, and hefty use of position: absolute. You can view it he http://www.goldenturmeric.com/layout.php The layout comes out great in FF 2.0 and IE 7. However, the main body of the site doesn't come out at all in IE 6. I've monkeyed around a little with changing to position: relative and a few other things and it completely throws it off. I'm sorry if I'm not doing this the right way or position: absolute is avoided or something. If so, I didn't know. Anyone's help is much appreciated. The question is "What is the positioning context of a div positioned absolutely (e.g., div#nav{position:absolute;}); that is, where is the 0,0 coordinate from which any offsets will be measured?" Is the answer "it will be measured from the top left"? IE browser seems fine but mozilla display a simple table with links inside in a squished up format, not present on the web design. Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="PageBreeze Free HTML Editor (http://www.pagebreeze.com)">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" >
<title>mybar.html</title>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
#elButton a {

font-size:10px;
font-family:verdana;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration: none;

Hi all, new to the forum. Can't figure out why my absolute positioned images are moving with the window in safari? perfect in FF and IE. please help! yogadebra dot com Sorry for a link and not pasting but code but I want to be sure not to miss anything out ... There should be a menu item at the top of the page of: http://egg.epicdesigns.co.uk/home/index.php It shows up fine in Mozilla and Opera but not MSIE. Code: #menu {
z-index:1;
left:auto;
top:272px;
position:absolute;
width:631px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 12px;
padding:0px;
font:normal 110% agency fb,arial,sans-serif;
}
I notice that if I remove the <HEAD> tag int he HTML or the FLOAT:RIGHT styling on #sidebar then thigns show up as expected. Thanks in advance. Hi css-ers, I wonder if anyone can tell me what I've done wrong. I have an absolutely positioned div that shows up perfectly in all browsers except IE 6 (I haven't tried it in IE7 yet). I have another abs pos div on the page that behaves perfectly. Any suggestions? This is the x/html: Code: <div id="logo"> <a href="index.html"></a> </div> This is the CSS: Code: #logo {
left: 20px;
top: 0px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 5;
margin: 0pt;
border: 1px solid #315185;
}
#logo a {
background: transparent url(../images/logo.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0px 0px;
display: block;
height: 435px;
width: 140px;
}
#logo a:hover {
background: url(../images/logo.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0px -435px;
display: block;
height: 435px;
width: 140px;
}
Thanks for any tips or references. Alright, here we go again. The page in question... Various screenshots I'm working up a sample for a job I came across. The scenario: He wants a simple layout: top header, left column, mid (main), right column, and bottom header. The width of the body should be no more than 650 pixels and centered. However, he wants the html flow to be in order of: main, top header, left column, bottom header, right column. Obviously is going to require absolute positioning, right? So, using Win XP, I got it to look descent in IE 6, Net 7, and FF 1. Those are the three browser brands he's concerned about; the last two versions of each (didn't specify operating system). Basically, I'm just asking for someone to look at the source code and tell me if there's a simpler way. The way it's set up now, it renders poorly on several different versions of IE, Net, and Moz under other operating systems (which you can view in the screenshots URL above). Plus, the heights are not constant. Meaning that he will always be adding/changing content meaning he'll always have to mess with the positioning. Is this absolutely worthless? Problem is I don't want to give up because it is fun to learn (plus there's two other potential jobs behind it). It's starting to seem, however, that there will be no easy fix and perhaps the answer is unachievable in this situation. Any advice? Hi there, I have a show/hide div and want it to appear on top of my other layers, however, when I use absolute to get it to appear on top of the other layers, with left and top positions, it appears in different places when I resize my window or change my resolutions. Is there anyway to make it appear the same no matter what resolution or window size? I am using pixels by the way. Thanks. Hi everyone, I found how to position imgs and txt relative to the browser window, but when i print it out it will be like 3/4 inch from the edge of the paper, even though the page border is set at 1/2 ... Anyway I can get it closer? Found this piece of code from another page but didn't seem to work <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="print"> thanks Hi, I have a table with the following div : div#mod-banner { height:60px; position:absolute; right:180px; top:22px; width:468px; } in IE7 and Opera looks ok but in IE6 it shows it like its left aligned or something. I dont have any knowledge of CSS , can anybody help me? Thanks ahh thanks figures it out never mind. Please look at this page - http://casadelsol.tmhdesign.com/about.asp I have a div with an id of "header". In that div I placed this code Code: <div style="width:200px;height:200px;background-color:yellow;margin:0 0 -50px 400px;z-index:10000"> </div> As you can see it goes under the absolutely positioned div element with an id of top_header. I want to put a drop-down menu in the top header area but it slides under the top_header element. Can you help? Thanks |
