CSS - Weird Css Problem
So I have the following website: http://www.itmustbecollege.com/
and it has a problem SOMEWHERE that I can't seem to figure out. The problem is that all of my pages now have a big "space" on the far right, forcing a huge horizontal size. I have tried to debug but can't seem to find out the exact problem. It is weird, because certain parts of the website have a "width: 100%" yet ENDS at the correct look, yet there is still that huge space! Similar TutorialsHi there! Please have a look here. As you can see there's a scrolling box with a overflow:auto propriety set. All works well either in Firefox and Internet Explorer, but I had to use a hack to made it work with IE: Code:
#content {
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-right: 25px;
padding-left: 25px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: justify;
overflow: auto;
width: 543px;
height: 225px;
background-image: url(img/centerblank.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
_background-attachment: fixed;
}
FF doesn't read the _background-attachment so all works fine.. problem is, this way the css code is no w3c compliant. Any ideas? Hey guys, First post here. I've scoured the web for answers, searched this forum, and visited many CSS sites (alistapart, maxdesign.com.au, positioniseverything, htmldog, etc.) and haven't seen a problem like this. I'm learning CSS as we speak (or more correctly, as I type), and here's the issue. I have a space between my #header and #page. I can't get rid of it unless I put a border around the #page. I've posted four screens here so you can see what's going on in Safari and Firefox (the two browsers I use). #1 is what the site looks like now (as the code is below). #2 is with the #header removed, #3 is with the #header removed and a 1px border put around the #page, and #4 is with the #header there and the #page has a 1px border. It seems to me that the #page has a top margin, and I've tried margin-top: 0px; and tons of other combos, but I can't get that space to go away unless I put a border around #page. Here's my css: Code: /* basic elements */
body {
font: 8pt/16pt georgia;
color: #000000;
background: #AEAEAE url(images/butterflybg.gif) no-repeat top center;

Hello. I've got a header div that my banner is in, below that, another div called "welcome".

I'm having a slight problem with the appearance of the border for the DIV below the navigation bar. Firefox runs the border through the entire width of the DIV, but IE stops the bottom border as soon as the last <LI> is reached.. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance. http://www.manliusvillage.org/test/index.html The related CSS is below: Code:
#navigation{
height:2.2em;

Hi guys, I'm at the end of my rope about this. I have a three-column layout which is behaving fine in mozilla. IE, as usual, is causing problems. I've given the troublesome column a background color of yellow to emphasize the problem. There's a right padding sort of thing going on that's forcing the right-most column out of its place; might be easier if you just look at it: http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/home.php (still a work in progress. just sayin) the css behind the column: #content .left { float:left; padding-right:9px; background:yellow; width:179px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit } html>body #content .left { width: 179px; } Can anyone tell what i'm doing wrong? Many thanks, M Hi, I have developed a page using only CSS with html. That means I have two files at the moment, layout.css and default.html. When I test it on my computer it works fine on IE6.0, Firefox, Netscape and Opera. I then decided to give it a go on the live internet. I created an account with geocities and uploaded all the required files. Now, when I loaded the page from IE6.0 the website is broken. Which means it is not displaying as it was when I was loading it from my computer. However Firefox and Opera are loading it fine. For me this is just weird, since if I download the html from the page (right click, view source), save it on my pc, and load it again from my computer (locally), it works fine on IE6.0 again. I know how I could solve this problem, however should I try solving this problem if my page is displaying fine on my computer (on the three browsers) but incorrectly on geocities? Ps: I am only using geocities for testing. Regards, Sim085 Hey guys, I was wondering if you can help me out with something. On my blog I couldn't figure out how to get the page to align to the top, so I had to use a negative margin on the header. Well now it's fine in firefox, but looks all botched in IE. What a surprise, right? Can you take a look at help me figure out what I need to fix? www.illuminatedmind.net Thanks! So, I have my CSS, works wonderfully (well, as expected) in FF2. Unfortunately, IE7, Safari 3, and Opera 9 all seem to ignore the whole stylesheet. UNLESS! Any one of the properties in the sheet is declared !important. Then, it applies the entire sheet the way I expect. What gives? The way I understand (understood?) specificity, the !important flag should only effect the specific line it's applied to, not the entire sheet. Right? I'm really confused. The stylesheet is included last, so all else being equal, should cascade properly and override the other sheets. Any ideas? I'm just going to use the !important for now, but I really don't like that. MPEDrummer Hello, First off, if you know of a way to make round cornered boxes (that stretch hor and vert) in css using less than 6 divs, please be my guest. Now the problem I'm having is IE specific, when i load up the IE DOM inspector, i see that all the divs before the bottomleft div have a height that too big. i don't know what this could be from because i never set a height attribute for any of the divs. http://72.29.74.19/~majdkgf/tangerine/ NOTE: this doesn't happen to the last box The site is question is: http:// w ww.stolen-bikes.org/index4.php The CSS is: http:// w ww.stolen-bikes.org/css/non_ie.css Basically I want the sidebar (blue div), to line up on the side as it is but up flush against the top as you would expect a floated content area with a floated sidebar next to it. If I take out the #sidebar in the css it DOES align right up at the top as I want it to. The minute you as a float:left or width or anything it jumps down to the end of the #masthead div and beginning of the #content div. Im pretty sure I have everything lined up correctly I just cant figure out why this is doing that! Please help! I changed over all my CSS flyout menus from the CSSPlay method to the whatever:hover method. It's working great. I've just got a minor, but annoying, problem that occurs in IE (6 & 7 tested). URL 1 URL 2 Check out the left-side navigation menus on those two pages. Obviously they're different files, but the code is exactly the same for the menus (except the path for the links, of course). The pages even use the same stylesheet. So why, then, does the menu flutter when you hover over the "Our Dogs" <li> on the base level menu, but not move a pixel on the /dogs/ level menu? Here's the path to the stylesheet: Stylesheet 1 hey, i have a page that includes several flash files.. since its a translation company i have made a page in Russian but the upper flash menu refuses to appear in firefox but displays in internet explorer.. other flash files appear.. and i don't know if its related but in order to make the Russian appear correctly i had to save the php page as utf-8 with no BOM... appreciate any help since i am clueless as to this weird problem here is the page address : bit.ly/4SqdNw sorry new in the forums could not link it but copy and pase Hi fowks, Normally I'm able to solve CSS issues relatively easily, well with some experimentation at least. However, this one has really got me stumped. Basically, I'm developing a menu for a weblication which is based on the famous Suckerfish menus. Everything works ok in IE and Mozilla when in an Left-to-Right (LTR) environment, but it doesn't work quite so well when the direction is flipped to RTL. IE copes fine, but FF doesn't. The menu works itself, but the viewport doubles in size and scrolls off to the right, even though there are no elements there. Anyone got an idea as to what could be doing this? I've included the relevant files for you to trial. Thanks for having a look. Hope you can help. It's driving me nuts. Cheers, John Hey everyone, I have an odd problem. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code ul#admin_menu li.am_item{ float:left; clear:none; display:inline; border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:24%; }
ul#admin_menu li.am_item{
This works... CSS Code: Original - CSS Code li.am_item{ float:left; clear:none; display:inline; border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:24%; }
li.am_item{
This doesn't work... I don't understand why. What gave it away was the display:inline; The first one displays them inline, the second displays them block and they don't get their width. omg I am going to fall from the window with this stupid language lol... Until yesterday, I was designing properly my site, using css and linking it in my php properly andddddddd.......... today I noticed a weird result. When I change something in css, I can see no result in the site. Even if I delete code from css, the site seems to be cached! I use Mozilla, I tried to clean cache, the css is properly linked... whats going on now Have anyone else faced a similar problem?... if you check out this website you'll immediately understand what the problem is about. The script I wrote, pulls pictures out of a database and displays them. I have a print feature (click the link that says: Ik wil de klassenlijst van **** afprinten). With Css I check wether or not a picture can be displayed on this page or if it has to be forced onto another page, when printed. Code:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
table {
page-break-befo auto;
}
</style>
When you check the webpage, you'll notice this row gives problems in IE. When I print the page from Internet Explorer: this row shows on the page, but not the picture that goes along with it. When I print the page from Mozilla: this row does not show on the page, neither the picture that goes along with it. as it should be Can someone help me? It is very important that the pagebreak is automagically forced when printed, because I can't guess the format on which people will print. I have a basic 2 column layout with a header and the columns reprezented by two floated divs but on IE I'm experiencing some weird behaviour with the menu. To be precise the menu's background and content is not showing up at pageload and I have to hover some of it's elements or resize the window, or bring another window above IE's window and then the hidden elements magically appear. Is this some common bug? And more important: is there a fix? You can see my example at the following link -> http://www.link7.ro/misc/css-stuff/bug1/test.html Thanks in advance. Hey, at my site: http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products in IE/6 I am having a problem with the last side box in the left column. You can see a gap between the link to conditions of use and the curved bottom of the box. Anyone see where this is coming from? Thanks, Ryan Hi, I'm trying to display text in a floating div in the middle of the page. The style is as follows: Code:
.mainContentAreaBackground {
position:absolute;
z-index:11;
top: 190px;
left: 230px;
width:70%;
height:72%;
}
#mainContentArea{
z-index:12;
position:absolute;
overflow:auto;
overflow-x:hidden;
width: 67%;
height: 68%;
top:205px;
left:246px;
text-align:left;
font-family:Tahoma;
font-size:10.0pt;
visibility:visible;
}
There are two anomalies which I think might be bugs in IE's implementation of CSS, and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to how to get around them. The first problem is that, when going to highlight text in the main content area, all objects on the page are selected, rather than just the intended text. The second anomaly is that, when using the mouse wheel to scroll down in the mainContentArea div when there's overflow, the cursor needs to be hovering over text. If it's hovering over any place with a "hole" in it, such as the space between paragraphs, then it will not scroll. Everything works fine in Firefox. You can see what I'm talking about he http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jbeard4/lepdev If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks! -Jake |
