CSS - Problem Absolute Div W/ Floated Linksbox W/ Right-margin
I really hope somebody can help me out with this one. It might require some yucky hack, but I hope there's a good way to achieve it with regular css.
I got a header (140px height), main container and a footer. The main container consists of three areas (from left to right): - a fixed sized column with some illustration (48px) - main contents column, (all available space) - a fixed sized column with newsfacts and such (301px) I've got an absolutely positioned div-element with an unordered list inside. The list-items got no bullets and are float: right, so the end result is a horizontal box. Each item is a link. I want this div-element to be positioned at the top of the middle contents column with the unordered list bar right-aligned. For this I tried using a right-margin: 302px. Also, each list-item is divided by a slim stripe/bar by giving the each li-element a left border. AND... the whole div-element got a bottom border which stretches as wide as the contents column is. Here's a screenshot fragment in Firefox, the only browser in which I got it to work: http://www.stack.nl/~rem/linksbox.jpg I've got the following code: 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" lang="en">

with the following CSS file. Code: body {

width: 100%;
background: url("../../images/common/bg_news.gif") repeat-y top right;
}
div#links {
display: inline;

border-width: 0px 0px 1px 0px;
border-color: #e0e0e0;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
left: 48px;
top: 140px;
margin-right: 302px;
}
div#startpageLinksBox ul {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
border: solid 1px #000000;
height: 20px;
}
div#startpageLinksBox ul li {
float: right;
border: solid 1px #e0e0e0;
padding: 0px 5px;
}
a { font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #b0b0b0; }
Important note... since I was on the verge of screaming, I replaced the Unordered list temporarily with a div tag of class=links, to simplify things in a feeble attempt to isolate the problem. It shows correctly in Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 (0.1R1) by the way, but my boss wants it to be good in Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. Especially IE. I want it good in Firefox but darn... Firefox is the only one I get okay :P The problem is.... with IE it puts the links to the right side of the screen. I've tried lots of things to get it 302 pixels from the right side of the screen, but everything gave problems. I really hope somebody can give me an idea how I can fix it. It feels like it's just a small thing. Similar TutorialsHello, I have this arrow icon at the end of each <li> that is floated right. When the user clicks on it, he gets a dropdown list with options. I'm just having some trouble positioning it. here is the screenshot of before and after the user clicks the arrow icon: Here is the HTML that I am using to place it: Code: <ol>
<li><a class="control" href="javascript:toggleLayer('controlgroup01');"> </a><a href="">System Executive Summary</a></li>
<div class="controlgroup" id="controlgroup01">
<a href="#">1</a><br />
<a href="#">2</a><br />
<a href="#">3</a><br />
<a href="#">4</a><br />
</div>
</ol>
I also tried encapsulating the <div> whithin the <li> in hopes that it would only affect that item like this: Code: <ol>
<li><a class="control" href="javascript:toggleLayer('controlgroup01');"> </a><a href="">System Executive Summary</a>
<div class="controlgroup" id="controlgroup01">
<a href="#">1</a><br />
<a href="#">2</a><br />
<a href="#">3</a><br />
<a href="#">4</a><br />
</div>
</li>
</ol>
Here is the CSS I am using to position the above <div> (which is invisible at first): Code: .control
{
float: right;
border: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px dotted #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 8px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 8px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 50%;
text-decoration: none;
}
.controlgroup
{
display: none;
/* position: relative; */
/* left: 70em; */
border: 1px solid #fddc9a;
background-color: #fff3ce;
float: right;
}
.controlgroup a
{
padding: 4px 4px 4px 24px;
background-image: url(bulletarrow.bmp); /* Photoshop this into transparent GIF */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 4px 50%;
}
I can't really use position: absolute; because depending on how the user resizes the browser, the box will be in a different place as it is supposed to be right justified, not left. It can't be positioned the way it is b/c the items below it bump into it and get schootched over to the side. I wish there was some waay to do this. Does anybody know? Thanks I've never run into this before, but I have the following document structure and the right div's top margin is about 10px below the left in FF and Opera.(aligns fine in IE-AMAZING, but true) Every other time I have simply set the margin and padding both to 0px of my floated divs and it has brought it to the same height as my left div: NOTE: I apologize, I don't have a link, this is being developed off line right now. CSS code: Code: /* You guessed it, my container div */
div.container {
clear: both; /* clears two divs above it */
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
}
/* Left div */
div.left {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 49%;
}
/* Right div */
div.right {
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 49%;
}

Any ideas or good links? On page - URL address blocked I have an img floated to the left, with some text floating around the right side. After this image, I have an h2, styled to clear:both, with a top-margin: 3em. With this floated image preceding, when the image is longer than the paragraph or other text floating around it, and the bottom of the image is "sitting on top of" the h2, the browser ignores the 3em top margin on the h2, unless I include a br, styled to clear:both. So, I can solve the problem with this clearing break, but it sort of chafes me. This doesn't look like typical collapsing margin. I'm not losing the overlapping margin between the two elements, I'm losing all of the margin! The page is coded with the breaks in place. I can re-create the "issue" using Firebug to remove the br tag. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. No worries, made an obvious error. Please delete this =) ( sorry for waste of moderators time ) Hello, first post here... I have an image floated left, with an unordered list (ul) next to it. Problem is, the margin values I set for the list are totally ignored, so the list bullets end up overlapping the image. Seems the only solution is to set margins on the image, but that also pushes away non-overlapping content, like the h3 that is above the list and positioned fine. Any ideas? Everything works fine if/when I float the list left, but that seems draconian... Code: css Code: Original - css Code img.alignleft { margin-right:0.5em; display:inline; float:left; } ul, ol, dl { line-height:1.5em; margin:0 0 1em 1em; }

Example: http://www.nwkeeley.com/test2.html FYI: this line: #sitenav #nav-products the margin-top: 30px is great on FF, but it has to be margin-top: 2px to look good in IE Thanks for any help! I don't know why but for some reason I thought if you give an element a position of absolute the margin is irrelevant. Not so in FF huh? Tom Hello all, I'm having a bit of trouble with a list of relative, floated <li> elements, each containing a single absolutely positioned div that appears on hover. I'm using the :hover pseudo-class currently but I will use JavaScript for IE6 once it displays correctly. The code is below. The problem is that the <div> appears on top of it's parent element but behind all other elements. Code:
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list{
list-style-type:none;
padding-top:10px;
position:relative;
}
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team{ width:313px; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:15px; margin-bottom:20px; border-bottom:1px solid #d7e3a9; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li{
float:left;
width:230px;
position:relative;
padding:8px 0 8px 15px;
z-index:1;
}
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li{ width:151px; padding-left:0; padding-left:5px; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li.right{ padding-left:5px; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li{ float:none; width:310px; padding-left:5px; }
#wrapper-body ul li.highlight{ background-color:#f4f6ec; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li p{
padding:0 0 9px 0;
margin-left:91px;
}
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li small{
padding:0 0 5px 0;
margin-left:91px;
}
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span{
color:#A6302B;
display:block;
float:left;
}
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-name{ width:140px; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-phone{ width:120px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-phone.gif) 0 2px no-repeat; padding-left:23px; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li a.clerk-email{ display:block; float:left; height:16px; width:16px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-mail.gif) 0 3px no-repeat; }
#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li div.staff-list-detail{
display:none;

padding-bottom:3px;
margin-top:-15px;

An image of what is happening below: Thanks for reading! Hello, I have a page where a left-floated <div> is nested within the main <div>. Content then is placed in a <div> next to the left-floated one. My problem is that the main <div> does not stretch to the height of the left-floated <div>, rather just to the height of the content. I placed: Code: <br style="clear: both;"> after the content <div> which usually does the trick but it's not working for some reason... And even more confusing is the fact that if I change the <br> to something else like say <span>, the main <div> does stretch to the proper height BUT the content within the <h1> tag and the content <div> are not displayed until you do something like minimize the window then restore it or bring another window in front of it then bring it back to focus. This happens in IE only. Any ideas? Page html/css: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I have some tabular data that I would like displayed in two columns within a div. The div has some basic styling on it to create a block around the tables. The tables should appear side by side at the top of the div, so I floated the tables. I then found that the width of the div was always 100% unless I floated the div as well. This made the div wrap around the tables nicely, but caused the next element to appear to the right of the div, not on the next line as it normally would. Here is the basic code I have so far: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.box1 {
border: 1px solid red;
background: #afafaf;
padding: 2px;
float: left;
}
div.box1 table {
float: left;
border: 1px solid blue;
margin-right: 15px;
}
</style>
</head>

</table>
</div>
</div>
<h1>Next Text</h1>
</body>
</html>
I would like for the "Next Text" to appear on a new line after the div. After reading this page, I added the following to my css: Code: div.box1:after {
content: 'clear me';
clear: both;
display: block;
height: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
}
However, this had no effect on the results in Firefox or Safari. The only way I have found to clear the div is to add style="clear: both" to the h1 tag following the div. I would prefer to not do this because it will be problematic for our graphics guys down the road. Any advice on how to clear the div and keep it wrapping around the tables? hello, this is my first post so apologies if i give too much information, but rather than miss something crucial, i thought it best to cover all my bases. i am new to CSS and have been trying to reproduce a design that i created as an image, in CSS for a website layout. i have managed the 'bones' of the website but am having difficulty when i get to the actual content. not being the most technical when it comes to CSS terminology, i have uploaded an image which shows what i want it to look like here a cut down version of the page, including just the area in question is available here XHTML css i validated my xhtml, but the css came up with warnings but didn't say it was invalid. i hope this is OK? in firefox it looks fine, but in IE 6, you can see that the photo of the product is not flush to the left of the bordered div. i'm not sure if i have gone about it the wrong way or if it is IE. a friend suggested that rather than have the 2 divs overlapping, i should just use a background image to create the effect, but being stubborn, i would like to try to fix this way, just for experience. would anyone mind having a look? hopefully i have provided enough info, but apologies if not. just ask and i will do my best to explain. thank you for your time J hi my page involves having a form element inside of a div. the div is floated left. relevant (seemingly) css from my stylesheet & html code (all simplified for readability) form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .mydiv { float: left; } html looks vaguely like: <div class="mydiv"><form name="blah" action="blahblah"> .... all form controls </form></div> PROBLEM!!!! in mozilla, none of the form elements display. in ie, everything displays as expected. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE AND START KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE. thanks in advance. d In Firefox, I've got a right div that is not repsonding to an auto width in FF. I am not a pro a CSS (yet ) and I hope that someone can give me the one line solution that I am missing.

K...I have an absolutely positioned toolbar in a search tool page. There are instances where the toolbar (on the left) is longer than the actual (non-absolute) results. When this happens, IE refuses to scroll for the absolutely positioned content! Anyone know what I can do about this? It's a little...crappy. MPEDrummer |
