CSS - Page Doesn't Display The Same In Firefox As In Opera/ie6
OK,
So I have put together what I thought was a reasonably basic xhtml page outline. I'm using a Win2k box. I checked it in Opera 7 and IE6 and it looks fine (more or less). I've also validated the xhtml and css codes. However, when I look at the page in Netscape 7.1 or Firefox, the menu kind of hangs a bit in limbo. Otherwise the rest of the page render's fine. I've included my code below. Does anyone have any suggestions since it's likely that if it doesn't work in Netscape/Firefox, it won't work in many other browsers either. Thanks! Shawn PS I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Firefox/Netscape, but likely my code URL: http://www.raisetheratesottawa.org/xhtml/ ===== CSS ===== HTML { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } BODY { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } #upper { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding: 0px; border: 5px solid #FFFFFF; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } /* Horizontal nav */ #menu { width:700px; margin:0px auto; padding: 0; } #menu ul { border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; clear: left; } #menu ul li { display: block; float: left; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #menu ul li a { background: #000000; width: 175px; /* was 'height: 2em; */ height: 24px; padding: 0; /* was 'margin: 0 0 10px 0; ' this affects the margin between upper menus*/ margin: 0 0 0 0; color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none; display: block; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; /* was 'line-height: 2em; */ line-height: 24px; /* was 'font-size: x-small; ' */ font-size: 10px; font-size: 10px; /* was 'FONT: 8px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;*/ } #menu ul li#one { width: 46px; } #menu ul li#two a { width: 154px; } #menu ul li#three a { width: 105px; } #menu ul li#four a { width: 85px; } #menu ul li#five a { width: 56px; } #menu ul li#six a { width: 57px; } #menu ul li#seven { width: 147px; } #menu ul li a:hover { color: #000000; background: #FF0000; } #menu a:active { background: #c60; color: #fff; } #content { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding:0px; border:5px solid #FFFFFF; background: url(/xhtml/graph/rtr-logo-bk.gif) #FF99CC; } ====== XHTML ====== <!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"> <head> <title>Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="graph/rtrcss2.css" type="text/css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="No Index" /> <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2004" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" /> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <link rel="help" href="about.php" title="Site info." /> <meta name="Rating" content="General" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="2 Days" /> <meta name="doc-class" content="Living Document" /> </head> <body> <div id="upper"> <div id="header"> <img src="graph/top-right2.jpg" width="700" height="78" alt="" /> </div> <div id="menu"><ul> <li id="one"> </li> <li id="two"><a href="link1.php" title="Link 1.">Link 1</a></li> <li id="three"><a href="link2.php" title="Link 2.">Link 2</a></li> <li id="four"><a href="link3.php" title="Link 3.">Link 3</a></li> <li id="five"><a href="link4.php" title="Link 4.">Link 4</a></li> <li id="six"><a href="link5.php" title="Link 5.">Link 5</a></li> <li id="seven"> </li> </ul></div> </div> <div id="content"> <p>Here is some text</p> <p>Here is some more text </p> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHello ppl, I have a problem about 6 div's which are displayed inline.

I've been working on this site for my Daughter using Wordpress, I've mashed about the CSS, Modding a template for the desired look for the site. I've tied validating it and it brings up a couple of strange comments about the </body> and </html> closing tags, I presume this is why IE7 is having problems displaying the page. Firefox doesn't seem to have an issue at all. I was hoping somebody could take a look at the source with a fresh set of eyes and let me know what is wrong, I've spent hours working on this and can't see it for the life of me. I'm sure it's something simple, I know I had an issue one time where a <P> tag wasn't closed and stopped the whole site being displayed... thanks. blog.mirana[dot]co[dot]uk Hi - I've just carefully taught myself to design a site in CSS (as you can tell I'm not an expert - please forgive me this!) It looks great in IE, but the CSS doesn't display at all in Firefox. What have I done wrong? Okay the backgroundimage "content-header" does not display in firefox for the <div id="contentWrapper"> tag. In internet explorer it displays. Not sure what the hell is going on with it. I hate css http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html There is the link, I have my styles in the header section of the html file. I use the same css for all page, but one of them doesn't show sidebar and push down the footer about 100px Code: http://elsoszabadmagyarkormany.com/torveny-szavazasok/ Anybody can help me? Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I've been trying to tidy up the layout of my home page, and I'm pretty confused by the way that the header is behaving in both Firefox and Safari - the browsers I use on my Mac. I've got screen shots which show it looking good on most Windows browsers, but for some reason, all the text is bunched up at the top when I look at it on the Mac. This is a link to the page: http://www.independentliving.co.uk/index1.shtml And this is the relevant bit of the stylesheet: div#header { background-image: url("header.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-top: 0; width:780px; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 0.8em; } #header .welcome { text-align: left; width: 700px; padding-top: 90px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; color: #003366; font-size: 0.8em; } p.welcome { text-align: left; width: 700px; padding-top: 90px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; color: #003366; font-size: 0.8em; } #header .slogan { text-align: left; width: 700px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; color: #003366; font-size: 0.8em; } p.slogan { text-align: left; width: 700px padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; color: #003366; } If anyone has any ideas, I'd be really grateful. I know Mac is a minority platform, but as it's the one I use, I'm pretty keen to get it working! Thanks Frances I've been working some more on a new layout for one of my websites this weekend. However, I'm having trouble getting the layout to display the same in all browsers. Everything is looking exactly how I hoped in Firefox, but when the same page is viewed in Internet Explorer, some things appear rather differently. Sample Page: http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/index.htm CSS File: http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/stylesheet.css Firstly, the background of the navigation bar at the top of the page should remain grey at all times apart from when a link is hovered, in which case it changes to blue. This is happening in both browsers, but in Internet explorer, only part of the background is changing as opposed to all of it. It's easier to show this than to explain, so I've posted two screenshots below to demonstrate. The first screenshot shows the navigation bar in Firefox, the second shows the same bar in Internet Explorer. I'm assuming this is probably something to do with the padding values I have assigned, but I have been unable to find a working solution for all browsers. Also, I'm having a problem with the left margin of my main page content. The margins down the left side of the main page should all be 20px from the left hand border, and this shows correctly again in Firefox. However, in Internet Explorer, the left margin of the navigation bar appears correctly, but the content beneath it appears to have a much larger margin and as such the layout appears incorrectly. If anyone has any idea how to fix these problems then I would very much appreciate the advice. Thanks. here is the site http://142.177.157.241:8080/bikers/ Well, I have some work to do about opera and IE since they are slow in the browsers making or the standards compliance. Even Opera8 doesn't suport my site and I think that was just released not too long ago. I think I'm going to be changing my browser of choice from Firefox to Netscape 8. I have the beta right now and it looks awesome and has all the functionality of Firefox I want plus it makes it easy to change between IE and netscape without actualy going to IE to see how my site looks. Two birds with one stone. This page - juicyart dot net / test.html (sorry I can't post URLs yet) - displays fine in IE, but not in Firefox or Opera. In those two browsers the top image and white background of the container div won't display. The top image displays, but not completely - only about half of it shows up. Any suggestions? I can't figure this out for the life of me and W3C validates my css as valid so I'm at a loss. I'm trying to get my show/hide script working in Opera 6 and having no luck. So I know I can set CSS properties with JavaScript in Opera 6 (I'm testing on Mac) as I've managed to make it work with the visibility property. However doing: Code: document.getElementById(el).style.display = 'block'; does nothing... if I do an alert on the display setting of the element it always says undefined. I've also tried doing a className switch, but doing this : Code: <div id="el" class="hidden">...</div> alert(document.getElementById(el).className); Also gives me a 'undefined' message. Opera 6 is the only thing that's playing up on me at the moment so any help would be greatly appreciated. -D I'm hoping I can get some guidance on why I can't get this popout menu to work! I used the code from this article to build a popout menu, but for some reason I can't get it to work in firefox. If you test their demo in Firefox but if you test mine, it looks great in Internet Explorer, but gets all messed up Firefox & Opera. If you save the page you will see there is a style sheet as well as a small Javascript file too. If someone could check over my code for me that would be great! I have been staring at it for hours and can't seem to find the problem! This is my first project using CSS styles to control something besides the usual things like fonts, etc. so go easy on me! Thanks in advance! Chelsea First of all here is the page: http://xander6669.com/ It looks like I want in IE, but there is a still a white space on top of the page with firefox/opera. I've tried hundreds of things but I can't seem to be able to fix it. Anyone could give me a hand? Here is the HTML and CSS: HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/><title>Xander6669</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="body/body.css"/></head><body> <img src="images/border1.gif" alt="" height="5" width=779"/></body></html> CSS: Code: body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } Hello Everybody, I had this site working in opera and IE and it works beautifully. When it comes to firefox, the box form extends for a hundred pixels and I don't know why. The sheet is set at a specific width and i can't change anything with the form in css. can anyone please help me with this, thank you. here is the site Firefox not working for form Hi! Let's consider this XHTML: (I've put the CSS in a style attr. for conciseness) [HTML] <div style="width:100%;height:70px;background: #D10C23;display:block;">dfsdfdsfsd <img src="haha.gif" width="1000" height="50"></div> [/HTML] Now, if you make the browser window in FF or Opera less than 1000 pixels wide (a horizontal scrollbar appears), and scroll to the right, you'll see that the background color doesn't span until the end of the page. Why is this? Thanks Hello. I've spent the past week making my web page. It is currently hosted on my laptop. When I finalize it, I will upload it to a proper hosting service. I have a job interview for a co-op job for searstravel.ca tomorrow, and I want to make sure my website works across all browsers. My webpage is at URL. If you open the page in IE, you will notice a horizontal white space just beneath the image at the top. In Mozilla (suite/Firefox) and Opera the site displays just fine. I've had the site looked at by a number of friends who are more adept at CSS than me, but to no avail. I was hoping that someone in here might spot the cause of the display bug. The CSS file is located at URL. Thanks for your help everyone! Hi, I am very new to CSS and am having a small problem with a breadcrumb that moves in different browsers. It's in the right place in IE but it moves down a little in Firefox, and moves even further down in Opera. If you look at the page it is the red "Home" above the menu bar (well it is in IE and Firefox, it is behind the menu bar in Opera). I know that IE doesn't always show things like it should, but what I wanted to know was - is it me or them? and if it is them which one is right? If it's me could you point me in the right direction please. The page is URL The 2 stylesheets that are used are; URL URL I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks Im novice to CSS, im makin my first one. I have this problem, i made my class and then i did the a:hover with that class but it is not shown in firefox and opera, works fine in IE. Am i forgetting something? how do i fix? here's my code: Code: body { background-color: #1A1852; background-image: url(../imagenes/fondo2.gif); } .menu { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } a:menu:link { text-decoration: none; } a:menu:active { text-decoration: none; } a:menu:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } a:menu:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } .actual { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; } .descarga { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: #FFFFCC; text-decoration: none; } a.descarga:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: #FF9966; } .texto { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; } .pie { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #CCCCCC; font-size: 10px; } .titulo { color: #CC66CC; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; } .vinculo { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: #FFFFCC; } .tabla { border-style: dashed; border-width: thin; border-color:#CC66CC; } the url is: http:// jhlmc.com/JHLMC/FreshDemoFiles/CoverTToLayers_JHLMCArt.html In IE8 beta it works perfectly. In firefox the entire bottom section (the part under the slide show) is messed up. In Opera there's a gap under the play controls. If I close the gap, it messes up IE. Getting this slide show to work was quite the task, but I'm close to having it work on the big three! Should I just un-nest everything? Hey, I got a webpage that looks like it should in both IE 6.0 and firefox 2.0. Now i went testing it in opera and it has a problem with some div positions. Here is how it looks in firefox and IE: Internet explorer:http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8176/iexz2.jpg firefox:http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/5503/firefoxqc0.jpg And this is how it looks in Opera 9.10:http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5125/operauw7.jpg The buttons signout, new contact and contact list are shifted to the low. I use this code on every page do display the header with the buttons ( the red part is the div with the buttons in it. Code: <body> <div class="containingTitles"> <div class="titleNavDiv"> <b>Hello, stefan.</b> </div> <div class="titleContentDiv"> <form action="search_contact.php" name="search" id="search" method="get"> <div style="float: left; width: 35%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;"> <input type="text" style="width: 50%" name="sq" value="" id="sq"> <input type="submit" name="s" value="Search" id="s"> </div> </form> <form name="new_contact" id="new_contact" method="get" action="new_contact.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;"> <input type="submit" name="nc" value="New Contact" id="nc"> </div> </form> <form name="contact_list" id="contact_list" method="get" action="contact_list.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;"> <input type="submit" name="cl" value="Contact List" id="cl"> </div> </form> <form name="logout" id="logout" method="get" action="logout.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 20%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;"> <input type="submit" name="lo" id="lo" value="Sign out"> </div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="navigationDiv"> <div class="unselectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username1</a></div> <div class="unselectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username2</a></div> <div class="selectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username3</a></div> etc. </div> <div class="contentDiv"> ----- contents of the page ----- </div> </div> And belowis the css code i use to float the divs into position. And here you can see the division of the pages and which class belongs to which div: http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1503/layoutai3.jpg css Code: Original - css Code body{ margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; background: url(background.jpg) 22% 0; } .containingTitles{ float: left; width: 100%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; background-color: #4D3D4D; color: white; overflow: hidden; } .titleNavDiv{ float: left; width: 20%; margin: 0%; padding-left: 2%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 1%; padding-bottom: 1%; overflow: hidden; } .titleContentDiv{ float: left; width: 77%; margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 1%; padding-bottom: 1%; overflow: hidden; } .navigationDiv{ float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; overflow: hidden; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D3D4D; } .contentDiv{ float: left; width: 76%; margin: 0; padding-left: 2%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: #BFACBF; }
hope you can tell me why this happens. Thanks in advance. I've searched the forum but can't find why my test with the following code works properly in IE (white link goinf yellowish on mouse over but not in FF or Op. It would be useful to correct this before going any further: Many thanks Robert ______________________________ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="test" content="test"> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8895-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="testcss.css" TYPE="text/css"> </head> <body topmargin="0"> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellspacing="1" width="760" bordercolor="#243348" height="50"> <span class="menu"> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item1.htm">item1</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item2.htm">item2</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item3.htm">item3</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item4.htm">item4</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item5.htm">item5</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item6.htm">item6</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item7.htm">item7</font></a></td> <td width="41" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"> <p align="center"><a href="item8.htm">item8</font></a></td> </span></table> </div> </body> ______________________________ .menu a {text-decoration:none; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt } .menu a:link {color:#FFFFFF; } .menu a:visited {.color:#FFE2A8; } .menu a:hover {color:#FFE2A8; } .menu a:active {.color:#FFE2A8; |
