CSS - Css Navigation, Help Moving Left...

at cookcommons the left nav divs are not working in FF but seem to be working fine in IE 7. IE6 does something different as well.

I broke the left nav into 3 divs. Basically like this:
Nav2 div
Link
Link
Link
Nav2 div close
Search div
search
Search div close
Nav2 div
Link
Link
Nav2 close

And in FF everything under the search gets messed up and pushed up in FF.

In IE 6 I think I just have to adjust a margin or padding to make it work.

IE7 looks great!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have a site with a left navigation bar (which is fixed width, and has a background colour that must stretch full screen from top to bottom of the page).

The site is:
http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005/z.html

Stylesheet:
http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005...s/style2005.css

As you can see, the left navigation menu stops once the content within the div is displayed. It does not stretch to the bottom of the screen. (say if you're on 1024 x 768 resolution)

Note: this varies according to the main (right) content. If the main content was shorter than the menu bar - it would work fine. The menu bar has a min-height of 100% which means the background applies to the size of your screen.

However, if the main content height is greater than that of the menu bar - then the menu bar will not adapt, but the background simply stops.

Is there a workaround for this? With tables, this could easily be achieved because the background colour of one cell is stretch until the end of the table, and not the content within the cell. However, I'd like to do this with CSS.

Here's some CSS:

Code:

body, p {

	color:#666666 ; 
	font-family: Verdana, Arial ; 
	font-size:7.5pt ; 
	font-weight:normal; 
}
body {
	height:100%;
	margin: 0px;
	background-color: #2F201E;
}

#container {  
 	width: 968px;
	height:100%;
}


#nav {
	width: 201px;
	border-right: 3px solid #FFFFFF;
	background: #8D603B;
	float: left;
	min-height:100%;
}

I've tried switching "min-height" and "height" but they don't seem to do what I want.... if anyone could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.).

Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left".

What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it?

Hello,

I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left.

See here

see how it got below ?

It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings).

Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks.

Hi All,

I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation;

Code:

<div id="navigation">
    <ul id="navlist">
      <li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li>
      <li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li>
      <li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a>
        <ul>
          <li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li>
          <li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li>
          <li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li>
          <li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li>
          <li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li>
      <li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;.

Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview.

What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another?

Your help would be much appreciated!

I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck.

I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE ..

The main CSS:

Code:

* {
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)?
Here's some example HTML:
html4strict Code:
Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!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" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>

 <body>


  


 <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post">


     <label for="name">Name:</label>


         <input type="text" name="name" />


     <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label>

     <label for="fun">Having fun?</label>


         <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" />


 </form>


  


 </body>


 </html> 

And the CSS:
css Code:
Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }

  

  


 label {


     display: block;


     float: left;


     clear: left;


     width: 8em;


     margin-right: .5em;


     text-align: right;


 }


 input,


 textarea {


     display: block;


     float: left;


 } 

Hi, I have this page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
}

p {padding: 0; margin: 0; }

html {padding:0; margin:0;}


.leftDiv {
	height: 100px;
	width: 30px;
	background-color: teal;
	float: left;
}

.mainDiv {
	padding: 5px 0 10px 0px;
	width: 200px;
	height: 20px;
	background-color: blue;

}

.mainPara {
	padding-left: 5px;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="contentDiv" style="width: 700px; height: 700px;">
	<div class="leftDiv">
	
	</div>
	<div class="mainDiv">
		<p class="mainPara">
		First Para
		</p>
	</div>
	<div class="mainDiv">
		<p class="mainPara">
		Second Para
		</p>
	</div>
</div>
</body>

</html>

And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions?

Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent.

Any help is appriciated,

Old story...looks good in IE but, different in FireFox:

link to page

My goal is to have all the footer infor appear below the content...not wrap up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I developed http://technology-sleuth.com by testing in Firefox and Opera as I am on linux and at the time didn't have access to IE. All is fine in those browsers. However, in IE I see that when the page get too narrow, instead of narrowing the center div, it moves it below the rest of the page. As the center div is the one with the content, this is unacceptable. How can I prevent this?

This site as you see it now was 'shortened' so that the center div does not get pushed down in the 800*600 screen resolution. So you will need to make the browser window very narrow to see the effect. But the problem is still visible.

Thanks in advance.

IE is at it once again.... it is doing VERY odd things....

On the following page, when you roll over the title/type/date and description sections for the related article, it changes backgrounds... this is done mostly with CSS and the smallest amount of javascript (only onmouseover/mouseout is used).

It works great elsewhere, but not in IE... any suggestions at what it may be??

THE LINK

My problem is getting very frustrating been trying to fix it for ages, and its probably something simple but if i dont fix it soon my laptops going to find a river very quickly.
I have a site using CSS(duh!) and when i highlight over a link on the site some of my text moves around. then when i highlight over my javascript drop down menu it moves back. its very strange.
heres the link to one of the worse pages for jumping. http://zephyr-wgtn.co.nz/newsite/eventS.aspx
Any help much appreciated.
