CSS - Prevent To Display Text Exceed Div Width?

Hi all,
I am trying to prevent the highlighting of text on my site only on a product description.

I currently employ techniques using the BODY tag, but I believe this is doing more harm than good because it does not allow highlighting/cutting in any other areas.

I have seen some class(es) on other sites where highlighting was not permitting ONLY in the product description (a table)

Is there a way to disable highlighting of text "IN A TABLE" via CSS or JAVA, and without the tricks of transparent layers and IFrames?

Thanks much in advance

I'm assuming this is going to be a CSS issue. I have a table cell which contains text, and for the sake of accessibility, I'm allowing text resizing and would like to prevent the table cell from changing in height when the font size is increased. Basically, as the font size increases, the width of the cell is the only thing that will change, not the height. First, is this possible? Second, if so how can this be achieved?

I'm pretty sure that I've seen other sites do this, just can't remember where.

Thanks in advance!

Good Morning All,

Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below.

The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement.

***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned.

text
-----------------------------------------------------------

rather than

text
------

and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x.


Please see relevant css information.

* (line 23)

{

margin-top: 0pt;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0pt;

margin-left: 0pt;

padding-top: 0pt;

padding-right: 0pt;

padding-bottom: 0pt;

padding-left: 0pt;

}

h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101)

{

font-size: 1.2em;

font-weight: normal;

padding-bottom: 4px;

margin-top: 0.6em;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0.8em;

margin-left: 0pt;

text-align: center;

}

Many Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to use image sprites to make images on my website switch to another image when the user hovers over them. These images are each placed in their own td that are set at different percentages within a 100% table.

The reason I need to use percentages is because I want the table and images to re-size to fit each individual computer screen. They do this beautifully, but when I add the image sprite, which has "display: block;" in its CSS, my images wont re-size. They just cut off.

Is there a way to use image sprites without the display: block code? Or is there a similar way to make images seamlessly grow and shrink to fit a browser without using a width percentage?

Thanks!

Okay i have been working on this for a while now, and i hate asking for help.. but i have given up on it.

Firstly i started using display:inline-block; which meant i could have a width so my hover over menu effect would work. But this did not work in IE7 which means it is useless to what i am doing.

So i then moved onto Display:inline; This worked fine, in both IE and Firefox, but the width cannot be set with this value. This value just wraps itself around the content. But i need to set a width to the Inline value.

Any help?


CSS:
Code:

#navcontainer ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

#navcontainer ul li { 
display: inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
text-align:center; 
}

#navcontainer ul li a{
display:inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover{
background-position: -65px 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

html:
Code:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Milk</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li>

Hi, can anybody help me stretch green buttons for Firefox just like they appear in IE? I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Please see the attached html.

for some reason when i declare a div as "display: inline", the width is ignored. as soon as i take display: inline out, the width goes to what i set it to.

Code:

#jobs_list{
	background-color: #ffe6c4;
	padding: 5px;
	clear: both;
	overflow: auto;
	width: 600px;
}
#jobs_list .heading{
	width: 200px;
	display: inline;
}
#jobs_list .title{
	font-weight: bold;
	text-align: left;
}
#jobs_list .company{
	text-align: center;
}
#jobs_list .location{
	text-align: right;
}

<div id="jobs_list">
	<div class="heading title">Title</div>
	<div class="heading company">Company</div>
	<div class="heading location">location</div>
</div>

Hi guys,

I am building a page with CSS and I'm running into some problems with the CSS buttons I'm trying to use. Right now I have a large box along the top of the page and want two rows of buttons inside of it. These text on these buttons will likely be changing on a semi-regular basis. So instead of using gif buttons made in a graphics program, I'm using CSS to create the buttons. Since each row will have multiple buttons, I first used the display:inline; item and it worked fine in IE. In FF however, the buttons lost their height and width. If I also used the float:left; it worked right, but the buttons were not centered. In looking for a solution, I discovered that inline items cannot use the height and width properties. Any ideas on how to get what I'm looking for?

I can't post a link, because this is an intranet page, but here is my relevant code...

CSS Code:
Original - CSS Code /*the main box which will contain the buttons*/ div#Main-buttons { width:96%; margin:2%; margin-top:10px; height:100px; padding-top:10px; background-color:#84C394; border:ridge medium #004500; } /*adjustments for FireFox*/ html>body div#Main-buttons { width:90%; margin:5%; margin-top:10px; height:100px; padding-top:0px; background-color:#84C394; border:ridge medium #004500; } /*class for individual buttons*/ div#buttons { width:100px; height:30px; margin:3px; float:left; background-color:#F7F3B5; border-style:solid; border-width:2px; border-color:#ffffff; line-height:1.6; display:inline; } a.buttonLinks:link {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;} a.buttonLinks:active {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;} a.buttonLinks:visited {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;}

 div#Main-buttons {

     }


  


 a.buttonLinks:link {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;}


 a.buttonLinks:active {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;}


 a.buttonLinks:visited {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;} 

HTML Code:
Original - HTML Code <div id="Main-buttons"> <a href="#" class="buttonLinks"><div id="buttons">Testing</div></a><a href="#" class="buttonLinks"><div id="buttons">Testing</div></a></div>

      <a href="#" class="buttonLinks"><div id="buttons">Testing</div></a><a href="#" class="buttonLinks"><div id="buttons">Testing</div></a></div>

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey everyone,

I was trying to figure out what the default display properties for a div are. What I'm trying to figure it out for is because I want to be able to set up other elements to behave the same way. This way I don't have a zillion DIVs on my page. I could set it so that My header uses something like:
Code:
HTML

<body>
<h1 id="header">Header</h1>

This way I could use CSS to cause it to span the full width of the page and behave the way I'm used to having things behave.
I think it might just be a width:100% but I can't find anything on it. But if I remember correctly you have to set a DIV to display:block to be able to define a width.

Hi, all. I'm brand new to CSS and have run into my first speedbump. I've tried searching the forum already, forgive me if I missed a previously posted solution.

Today I put together a page at work and it looked correct in IE8 (which is the only browser we can use at work). When I got home, I discovered that it doesn't display properly in ANY other browser.

I've validated my code, and just can't figure out what the problem is.

(I tried to link to images here of what it should look like versus what it actually looks like, but apparently as a new user I'm not permitted to post URLs. I also don't seem to be able to insert images into this post, so if anyone would like to see the images, I guess I could email them to you.)

Can anyone tell me why the DIVs appear to be too long? Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is the HTML:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="comp.css" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<div id="parent">

<div id="left_top">
</div>

<div class="bigcontainer" id="right_top">
a very<br>special<br>place<br>on the<br>internet
</div>

<div class="container" id="left_mid">
additional reading
</div>

<div class="container" id="right_mid">
tab one | tab two | tab three | tab four | tab five
</div>


<div class="container" id="left_bottom">
first link<br>
second link<br>
third link<br>
fourth link<br>
fifth link<br>
sixth link<br>
seventh link<br>
eighth link<br>
</div>

<div id="right_bottom">
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</p>
</div>

</div>

</BODY>
</HTML>


Here is the CSS:

body
{
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #e5e5e5;
}

div.bigcontainer
{
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bolder;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 20px 20px 0px 0px;
text-align: right;
}

div.container
{
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bolder;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 10px 20px 5px 0px;
text-align: right;
}

#parent
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
position:relative;
}

#left_top
{
width: 35%;
height: 190px;
background-color: #7d7d7d;
float: left
}

#right_top
{
width: 65%;
height: 190px;
color: #ffcc00;
background-color: #666666;
float: right;
}

#left_mid
{
width: 35%;
height: 35px;
color: #ffff99;
background-color: #ffd426;
float: left;
}

#right_mid
{
width: 65%;
height: 35px;
color: #666666;
background-color: #ffcc00;
float: right;
}

#left_bottom
{
width: 35%;
height: 100%;
padding: 20px;
color: #999999;
text-align: right;
background-color: #e5e5e5;
float: left;
}

#right_bottom
{
width: 65%;
padding: 20px;
color: #666666;
text-align: right;
background-color: #ffffff;
float: right;
}

I am sure there is an obvious explanation but why does using display:inline in this class definition stop the height/width working? Remove it and the dimensions are preserved.

PHP Code:
 DIV.special_offer_middle {
    width: 100px;
    height: 20px;
     display: inline;
    border: 1px dashed white;
 } 

A left floating text box that text wraps around the top, right and bottom is not rendering at the same size in all browsers (IE and Firefox are my main test platforms). The page was going pretty well, thanks to some help I have already received, but I hit a snag on this. Please take a look at the test page below.

TEST PAGE

The relevant style code follows:

Code:

.textboxleft 
{
	background: #3E5C92;
	font: normal 0.8em/140% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	margin: 10px;
	width: 160px;
	border: 1px solid #E4E7F5;
	float: left;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 0.5em;
}
.textboxleft p
{
	color: #000000;
}
ul li
{
	color: #E0E0F6;
	font: normal 0.9em/135% tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Of course, you can also look at the complete source code and download the css file for more information. I would be happy to provide any additional information.

If there is something I can alter in the CSS to make the box 160px wide (or whatever I decide on) in all browsers, please let me know. I am very new at this and have only gotten this far with the help of people like you.

Thank you,

Grump
PS: you will also notice another thread concerning the bulleted list problem you see. It bumps into the text box and doesn't look good. Please excuse any redundancy, but these are 2 different problems, I think.

this should be simple, but im just not finding my answer. im trying to figure out how to evenly spread several links across a fixed width. i could manually set the padding or margins for each link, but i figure there has to be a way to do it in css automagically.
