CSS - Margin-top: -150px; Editor Won't Take Neg Px Values

Hi all

Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7:

http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html

The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't.

Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem.

I did a search and found this link:

http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html

Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way?

Thanks a lot for help :-)

Hi there,

I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though.

I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG.

Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me.

Any ideas?

Can someone please recommend me a decent CSS WYSIWYG editor. I've been using DW2004MX, which is useless at rendering more complex CSS layouts. Cheers.

I'm looking for an easy to use WYSIWYG editor that works in CSS. In my admin (back end) panel right now, I'm set up with a regular editor that works with tables and I want to switch that out for a CSS editor. Two things to consider here....I have no CSS experience so I'm hoping that there's something out there that's as easy to use as TinyMCE which is what I have currently. The other point to consider is that I have no dynamic content on these pages. They are just simple and straight forward. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks!

Anyone know of a good javascript ,DHTML editor for stylesheets. I need to allow users to build a limited addition to the default stylesheet and would like to find something so I dont have to code from scratch.

Hi,

Im interested in finding an app to create the layouts of my web in a visual way, you know creating the divs with the mouse dragging and droping the corners and the laterals of the divs.

I have found Kompozer, but the position, the margins, etc, of the divs that you dimension, go directly to the HTML code (inline styles).

Do you know any visual css editor that writes the dimensions, margins and position of the divs in a .css file?

Ciao

I must be really dumb or blind here... For some reason i cant seem to get div.show_listing to actually move up. Sorry for my ignorance here in CSS, but i learn as i go.

css Code:
Original - css Code .container { display: block; margin-top: -32px; margin-left: 3px; width: 780px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #cccccc; } /* Start Mac IE5 filter \*/ div.left_menu, div.show_listing { padding-bottom: 32767px !important; margin-bottom: -32767px !important; } /* End Mac IE5 Filter */ div.left_menu { margin-top: -32px; width: 150px; border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; height: 250px; background: #fbfbfb; border: 1px solid #cccccc; } div.show_listing { margin-top: -32px; margin-left: 155px; width: 620px; border: 1px solid #cccccc; }

  

  


 .container {     


    display: block;


    margin-top:   -32px;


    margin-left:  3px;


    width:        780px;


    overflow:     hidden;


    border:       1px solid #cccccc;


 }


  


 /* Start Mac IE5 filter \*/


 div.left_menu, div.show_listing {


    padding-bottom: 32767px !important;


    margin-bottom: -32767px !important;


 }


 /* End Mac IE5 Filter */


  


 div.left_menu {


   margin-top:   -32px;


   width:        150px;


   border-left:  1px solid #cccccc;


   height:       250px;


   background:   #fbfbfb;


   border:       1px solid #cccccc;


 }


  


 div.show_listing {


   margin-top:   -32px;


   margin-left:  155px;


   width:          620px;


   border:  1px solid #cccccc;


 } 

html Code:
Original - html Code <div class="container"> <div class="left_menu"> <div style="float: left;"> {link_one} </div> </div> <!-- This part is actually on a separate script.. it gets parsed via php --> <div class="show_listing"> <div style="float: left;"> -listing_text- fsdfsadf<br> </div> </div> </div>

  
<div class="container">
       <div class="left_menu">
        <div style="float: left;">
           {link_one}
        </div>
       </div>

<!-- This part is actually on a separate script.. it gets parsed via php -->
<div class="show_listing">
        <div style="float: left;">
          -listing_text-
          fsdfsadf<br>
        </div>
       </div>
      </div>

Again sorry for my ignorance. ( just incase its viewable here )

i am having a serious issue with ie 7 i really need help.

i am using a center layout using 900px the center layout looks and works fine

in all browsers except for ie7 i have used a border for the wrapper tag.
what i have noticed only in the case of ie7 is the left border for the wrapper

tag starts a few pixels 2px or 3px before compared to all other browsers and

due to this in ie7 the right border ends a few pixels when compared to all

other browsers. so if i can fix the left border the right border for the

wrapper tag will adjust automatically.

i am using a valid xhtml transitional document. following is my code.

-------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Background image</title>

<style type="text/css">

body {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px;
}

#wrapper {
width: 900px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid #ffff00;
}

p{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">
<p>Content </p>
</div></body></html>

-------------------------------
can someone please tell me what the issue is and what the code should be. i

would highly appreciate any help as this is an issue in ie7 and not in other

browsers.

thanks.

Hi All,

I am having a hard time aligning an element on my site. The problem is I am floating an element to the left and it wont cross all the way to the right, its like the margin to the right doesnt exist and the text goes to the next line when there is room (so it seems) to the right.

Go to j4media.com to see what I mean...look in the sidebar and the problem is in the first bullet under the 'recent message board posts'.

Here's the CSS:

Code:

   
.sidecnt { /* individual container in sidebar */   background: #040c0f url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x;   width: 245px;   height: auto;   border: 1px solid #000000;   border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34;   padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px;   }.sidecnt h2 { /* container title image */   float: left;      }    .sidecnt h3 { /* container title */   float: right;   color:#050608;   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;   font-weight:bold;   font-size: 10px;   }.sidecnt h4 { /* tag text */	float:left;	margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */	padding-bottom: 5px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}   .sidecnt1 { /* individual container in sidebar - other than tag box */   background: #FFFFFF url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x;   width: 245px;   height: auto;   border: 1px solid #000000;   border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34;   padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px;   }.sidecnt1 h2 { /* container title image */   float: left;      }    .sidecnt1 h3 { /* container title */   float: right;   color:#050608;   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;   font-weight:bold;   font-size: 10px;   }.sidecnt1 h4 { /* text elements */	float:left;	margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */	padding-bottom: 5px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}   .sidecnt1 ul {    float:left;	margin-top: 25px; /*top, right, bottom, left*/	padding-bottom: 1px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}

and here's the HTML:

Code:

Hi,

Im creating a list that shows a photo and personal data of people.

It's he

http://tiregarfio.byethost17.com/web/frontend_dev.php/miembros

username: fer
password: m

When i load it with IE6 i can see the list, but between the photos there are little space. I FF there isn't any space.

Is that the bug of the "doubled margin" of IE6?


Regards

Javi

If I have 2 tables in a div, does margin-top position the bottom table in relation to the top of the div or the bottom of the top table? My top table is absolute positioned top 0px, with a
margin-bottom of 50px. The bottom table is positioned relative and has a top-margin of 50px, but is positioned relative to top of the div. Should it be positioned relative to the top table or do I need to put both tables in seperate divs to achieve the margin?

I have two divs on a page. Neither div has a set height. I want to maintain a 50px vertical gap between them, regardless of the height of the top div. Can I achieve this with margins? I've tried using a bottom margin on the top div and a top margin on the bottom div, but the top margin of the bottom div seems to be positioning relative to the top of the top div, not the bottom of it.
Can someone point out where I'm going wrong with this? Thanks

I have started the layout of a new xhtml (DTD strict) page using css and divs. I set html and body margins/padding to 0. I created my first container with one line of text and color to see positioning. What I don't understand is why firefox renders the container the width of my text size from the top of the page leaving a white gap of space. IE renders it exactly at the very top. Any ideas on this discrepancy? Also, can the height of an element be only expressed in units rather than a percentage? Thank you for any help.
