CSS - "text-align:center" Not Good Enough For Netscape?
Hi,
I'm using XHTML & CSS (strict dtd) and using one large table to format my pages. Within the table I have different alignments and any other sort of thing that you would find in a table. W3.org says my XHTML --AND-- CSS are VALID, so why does the main table render off to the left of the page in Netscape?? Everything within the table is great, but the table itself is not centered. I'm using CSS in the following manner to try to center it currently Code: <!-- All the doctype stuff and head tags go here...--> <body style="text-align:center"> <!-- Rest of the document --> It works greate in IE (but what doesen't), so is this the wrong attribute to use to center the documents content in Netscape. As you may know "<center>" is not defined in the XHTML strict dtd so that options out. Thanks for any help or suggestions, Kalan Similar TutorialsHi, I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser. Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important. I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML Here is my Html PHP Code: <DIV id="nav"> <ul> <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li> <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li> <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li> <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li> </ul> </div> Pretty straight forward, now my css PHP Code: #nav { width:1005px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #nav li { float: left; text-align: left; } #1 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #1 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #5 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; } #5 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; } Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/ Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help. Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work. Cheers, Stuart I know how to position regular text using the in-line style "text-align:right", but when I try to do that with a link I get nowhere. Simplified example: Code: <html> <body> <td><p style="text-align:right">Google</p></td> <td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <td><a style="text-align:right" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></td> <td><span style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></span></td> <td style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <span style="text-align:right"><td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td></span> </body> </html> The first body line works fine to move the text to the right, but the link in lines 2-5 of the body are stuck on the left. Any suggestions? (My actual code invokes a class from a css page in a particular <td> and I'm trying to force a link in that <td> to the right using an in-line style; while I can do that for regular text I haven't found the secret of doing that for a link.) I'm taking over a departmental web page that has a whole bunch of Code: <body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> in the web pages. Does anyone know how to put this in a stylesheet so that I don't have to put this code in every <body> tag when I create a new page? I've searched all over and can't find a reasonable resolution. Thanks Hi there, I'm back again I'm afriad with another minor problem with my new site design. Have a look at the test version of my website he http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolearn.net/classifieds/ If you are looking at it in Internet Explorer it should look fine, but if you try it in Mozilla Firefox or Netscape it looks badly messed up. The problem is with the 2 boxes near the top of the page, the "latest forum posts" one and the "search box". The whole page (from bellow the navbar) is laid out by the php script that generates most of the content of the site. Thus I am limited in what I can adjust but I can use .css to layout these two boxes. Here is the css that controls the forum and search boxes: Code:
.forums {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #666666;
padding: 5px 10px 10px;
background-color: #F9F9F9;
position: relative;
width: 453px;
height: 100px;
left: 10px;
top: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float: left;
}
.searchbox {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #666666;
background-color: #F9F9F9;
width: 230px;
height: 100px;
left: 20px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 15px;
top: 10px;
position: relative;
}
.listings {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
}
Now I'm pretty sure that the problem lies with the "float" property in .forums. I seem to recall Mozilla and Netscape don't recognise this in the same way IE does. Is there a way of making the site look the same in other browsers as it does in IE? Without the "float" property I have failed to get it to look right, but there must be some way around this problem. I'd really appreciate any help, as this one thing has been holding me back for ages! Thanks, Robert Oh, to say I'm gutted is under-rated, I thought I had mastered what is CSS design for one of my sites, that was until I decided to test it at work on FireFox, Netscape and Mozilla. For a start the content isn't in the center of the page, and some of the div's seem to be constrained into the right hand column, not sure why. The page looks perfect in IE. But messed up in the others, I am kicking myself I have left it so late to check. If any very nice person/people can help me sort this out I would be sooo happy, especially if I can understand why it is so messed up. I'm not really that technical, I'm a graphic designer so if you can help, keep it fairly simple please. The link is: http://www.gladiatorszone.co.uk/main_new1.shtml I think it might be a position element wrong or a float? hey, i have 2 CSS problems. number 1: my main <div> is not centered in IE. it's fine in FF, mozilla, and opera, but it stays all the way to the left in IE. Code: #main { width: 77%; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #999; overflow: auto; background: #970303; color: #FFF; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 20px; }
Code: <div id='main' align='center'> number 2: i can't figure out this gradient background stuff. i have an image, 1 px wide and 1000 px high. it works fine, but once theres enough information on a page, and its longer than the 1000px, the image starts over and looks extremely unprofessional. how can i make so that the one gradient image is stretched out for the length of the page? thanks. I've been trying to find a "solution" that allows me to have a parent <div> (with a fixed position-centered) on a browser page, and have it contain multiple nested <div> tags. I want to be able to do this so it works on both IE and FF, as well MAC. Through several attempts I've utilized a background-image--but don't believe that is compliant with "all" recent platforms, etc. I've also been able to place the nested <div> tags but then shove the parent div's image down ... Does anyone have thoughts, links, suggestions or a quick example to toss my way? Thanks Much and Happy New Year! Des what is the equivilant to <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> in css? i've tried PHP Code: table { border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; border-colapse: colapse; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } td { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; padding: 2px; } That makes the width 2px wide though. I want it to only be one. And the padding seems to be messed up as well. I'm using the CakePHP framework to build my site. I hope I'm not asking an impossible question and being since I'm new an all.. Anyways I finished a simple design well I thought it was simple anyway until I tried to make the content box to be a fluid width.

I haven't used CSS/html in awhile but if anyone can help me either "fix" the content box so it appears like mockup which would be centered on my screen as my resolution is 2560X1600(30") and just repeat the <div's> when needed. Hope someone can help me with my question. http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm some problems: in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok! in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image! the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen! (I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen). I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen. Example Picture The site itself. Any ideas? I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it. Any ideas on how to rectify this? Code:
<td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td>
.loginbox
{
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #9AA8C3;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 11px;
color: #40668C;
}
Okay here's the problem, I have used px instead of % and I have a feeling it's ruined my whole site because of the fact that users can set their font size custom which TOTALLY messes up margins and things that I have set so precisely. Here is my site: www.msredimp.000webhost.info At small it works perfectly and the forms stay all normal, but when it's increased or decreased it totally ruins it. Is there a way to force the settings in Mozilla to normal size? Or any other way? Thank you, and sorry for being such a newbie. Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ? Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html). Thank you Hi All, Developed a weird issue in FF and IE8 and am not sure what to do with it. I have some tables that will just not display correct, the table is rendering a little too small and making the text overflow the cells. Its really odd and not sure what to do about it? I took a screen shot in IE, but the have happens in FF. Anyone any ides? I only have IE 6, so Im not sure if I have the same trouble in other versions of IE. The site looks great in FF 2 though! View: http://www.angelsar.org/development/funding.php - in FF then in IE6 and you cant miss what I'm talking about. Here is the CSS that came with the template I'm using: Code: body {

span.gray { color: #808080; }
span.gray a { color: #808080; text-decoration: none; }
The only thing that doesn't validate is clear: all; under div.footer but even when removing that, it doesn't solve my problem. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Hi guys!! W3 discourages empty <p>s. Should I put <p title="something">text</p> instead? Please refer to: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1 Thanl you Hi, I'm not overly accomplished when it comes to CSS so here's my question. I've got the following HTML code: Code: <input type="text" name="field1" value="value1" style="width:100%"> I'm preloading a value into this text field which may run past the visible length of the textbox. The text box is situated inside a table cell. The text box fills the table cell space completely whilst the text inside it does not run over but once the text is more than can be displayed in the space provided by the table cell, it forces the textbox to grow. My question is, is there a way around this so that I can still instruct the textbox to be 100% width of the table cell without expanding when the text overflows. Thanks. How do I get a seperate scroll bar for the text on my website? that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently. However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image. If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall. (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work? |
