CSS - Unexplainable Blank Space Off Screen
Here is the site:
http://wildlife. kinetic-designs. n et/ I was modifying a wordpress theme and somewhere in there i must have changed something, but now I have an unexplainable horizontal scroll bar as well as blank space off to the right of the screen. Can someone help me explain this phenomenon ?? Similar TutorialsI couldn't figure out why people were telling me they couldn't see my page but i could see it just fine in two different locations. Come to find out I use firefox and IE is showing a blank page. Can someone help me with this? I'm very new to doing my own custom CSS, so please bear with me. I have a feeling I am missing something obvious... A space of about 22px height is appearing below my nav bar, which itself is 22px high, but is otherwise working fine. I can't figure out what code is causing the space to appear where I don't want it (just under the #page-nav and just above the #page-content). I'm not sure how to link to my test site, as the forum does not allow new members to link to urls... I can put it in a code tag, but I don't want to 'cheat' the rules... Let me know if that's okay... (the html and css is too long to post here) (P.S. Many, many, MANY thanks to anyone who can help me figure out this puzzle!) i am using display:none to hide two divs, but the space where they are located still remains... but only in firefox... here is a link... it happens when you click on one of the tabs at the bottom of the box... 15 Games thanks for any help. The website I created has a large blank space at the bottom. I want 30px between the bottom and the layout. At the top, I could create the space I want. Margin-bottom: 30px doesn't do the trick. I tried so many things but I just can't get it fixed. I think something is set too height or something? If someone could figure it out, I would be forever grateful! You can check out the site and css he I can't post the url because I'm a new user Can a mod post my url? EDIT: I have set the url as my homepage in my profile! Just click my username to check out the site. I am working on a web page, and am all but done, but I am having one final problem with it. The css drop down menu works fine except for one issue... when you scroll down on one of the pages, and then go to the css menu bar a gap appears between the menu bar and the sub menu options that drop down. How can I get this menu to always drop down DIRECTLY below the main menu bar without the gap? ___________ Here is the SpryMenuBarHorizontal css _____________ @charset "UTF-8"; /* SpryMenuBarHorizontal css - Revision: Spry Preview Release 1.4 */ /* Copyright (c) 2006.

Hi, I'm new here and hope someone can help! I wasn't sure whether to post this in the CSS or Flash forum; it's a problem caused by Flash which I suspect needs some clever CSS to resolve. My new website is carolineofbrunswick (dot) co (dot) uk. As you can see, there's a ton of blank space off to the right of the pages, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's caused by the Flash objects in the right-hand column. Changing the width attributes on those Flash objects just causes them to not appear at all, though the blank space still exists. Can anyone help? Cliff Hi, I am a wannabe css compiler... Have the following problem. wrote css for a square screen monitor and placed css box in an area to the right of center, my partner called and told me it sat to the left over the side menu onher wide screen. I cannot figure out how to compensate the (top/left) position to cover both type screens... Anyone help me? Hey everyone. I am new here and this forum looks great. Already found loads of cool PHP ideas just by reading through some of the other posts. I thought for my first post, I would put something into the community. I have created a number of blank css website templates and posted them on my site. I use these as a starting point whenever I create a new site and I find they save me a lot of time. The whole idea of them is to be very basic - even the homepage. I didn't want to fill the templates with loads of stuff you would want to take out but I thought it was important to have enough in there so you can see the idea behind each one. I'd love to hear back from you all and know what you think to them. blankcss.com Looking forward to the responses cookcommons . com / index_working . html At this location, I have a page that I validated the code, but most of it is hidden in both IE 6 and IE7? Seems to work fine in FF? Thanks for the help in advance. I'm building a navagation bar. I want to have several lists, each with a heading. Due to space and visual concerns, I would like to eliminate the blank line between the heading and each list. Here's what I have: Code: <div id="navigation"> <span class="nav_title">Archives</span> <ul> <li>[...]</li> </ul> <p> <span class="nav_title">Categories</span> <ul> <li>[...]</li> </ul> [...] </div> And this is the corresponding CSS (just the ul part, obviously): Code: #navigation ul { list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: disc; padding: 0; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; display: block; } What I have right here works, but it only works for the first list. All the other lists have a blank line between the heading and the following list -- but the first does not. I find it weird that this would work for the first time it is used, but not for the second time. I tested it by replacing the heading and list with other headings and lists and got the same result -- the *first* heading blends with the list, but the rest do not. You can view this problem here (it's in the navigation bar on the right-hand side. "Archives" blends with its list, but nothing else does.) In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to hack out my own WordPress theme atm -- don't yell at my table layout yet, I'm converting it from another theme and haven't finished yet I have a page that is laid out with in a table. It has a header and a footer area. Ive defined a stylesheet for printing, and my content shows up correctly when printing (or print preview) with the header and footer items left out. What is not right though, is the 1st page is blank when i do a print preview. Help ? to add: This is an asp.net web page, that has a form with several images that render inside a div element and this form is within the main table. Hi, my css drop down menu seems to be working fine in firefox, but there are a few problems in IE. It didn't even work in IE7 until I added Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> 1. In IE7, if you first hover over the link to get the drop down menu to show, move away, then hover over the menu again, it will show the blank sub menus of the one you last have opened. This is hard to explain. Please see my webpage for what I mean. http://ling.twinner.com.tw/uselink/index.php Move your mouse to the Products link at the top. 2. My menu seems to load slow. Is it because I have many sub menus or is my css not efficient? 3. How do I set the sub menu height to auto? Here is my css: http://ling.twinner.com.tw/uselink/menu_style.css Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. This is a very interesting bug and I have been trying to do a little bit of hacking but with no success here. So, thought anyone of you would know what I'm missing.. The problem here is that it showed up just fine on the webpage but not in Print Preview or Print-Out for IE. Code: <style type="text/css"> divBlackBox1 { margin: 50px auto; padding: 0px; width: 400px; height: 4px; display: block; /* for IE stupidity (to make height work correctly with the correct pixels)... */ font-size: 1pt; /* for IE stupidity (to make the smaller height work due to default font-size)... */ overflow: hidden; /* Problem is that it doesn't work for print preview or print-out in IE... */ background-color: #000000; } </style> <div class="divBlackBox1"></div> Thanks, FletchSOD Code: <form action=""> <div> <select id="about_menu" name="about_menu" onchange="window.location.href=this.form.about_menu.options[this.form.about_menu.selectedIndex].value;" title="Go to About pages"> <option value="">About</option> <option value="http://myblog.com/about-the-blog/">About The Blog</option> <option value="http://myblog.com/welcome/">Welcome</option> </select> </div> </form> I use <option value="">About</option> as self labeling. I would like the width of the form to be so that there won't be a blank after About even if other options are longer. The issue is that About is going to be translated in several languages and thus I can't rely on a determined value for the width. I have that annoying problem that code like this: PHP Code: <img src="images/worsleytop.jpg" width="750" height="175" /> <div id="navigation"> <ul id="nav"> <li> Causes a gap between the image and the navigation div of a couple of pixels. I know why it is happening. And I know that changing it to PHP Code: <img src="images/worsleytop.jpg" width="750" height="175" /><div id="navigation"> <ul id="nav"> <li> fixes the problem in IE, but not in firefox. How do I sort it out universally? I've run into yet another IE "feature" that i'd like to ask you, dear colleagues, how to solve. I have a relatively positioned div and i need to absolute position another div inside of it to fill almost all width and height of the parent. I need it to have a 20px margin from top and bottom. Here's what works in real browsers: Code: .somediv{ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 20px; bottom: 20px; right: 0; } Now how do i make it work in a developer's nightmare IE? There are 2 more divs in top and bottom both 20px high so the new div shouldn't overlap with them. Hi All, This is my first post in CSS forums. I want to display a DIV in the center of screen. I am using this DIV for the showing the progress image in my search page (So it is is visible only in some cases.) How can I make it visible in the center of the visible screen (above all other elements). Note: User may have scrolled down the screen. I hope this is possible with CSS how can i get a div in the middle of the y-axis of the browser window? I have a page dien all in css that is all set for 800x600 resolution. Does any one know how I can detect larger screen size/resolutions and center the entire page for these instances thanks JT <html> Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>All Fore U Golf Clinic</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> @import "nav.css"; </style> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> </style> </head> <body> <div id="header">header thing</div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <h1>content</h1> <p>Sum Stuff goes here...</p> <p class="last">...and here</p> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <h1>navigation</h1> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">History</a></li> <li><a href="#">Team</a></li> <li><a href="#">Offices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Golf Stuff</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Clubs stuff</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com">accessories stufff</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li> <li><a href="#">France</a></li> <li><a href="#">USA</a></li> <li><a href="#">Australia</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <div class="clearing"> </div> </div> <div id="footer">footer thing</div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: body { font: normal 11px verdana; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */ top: 0; display: none; } /* Styles for Menu Items */ ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */ padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.
