CSS - Ie Doubling Some Of My Padding/margins
Please bear with this CSS learner...again
Am trying to understand why IE adds extra spacing at times, while other times doesn't. As opposed to Firefox doing it right all the time. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing? Here is my code(all comments included) Code:

<h2>My Margin or Padding or Whatever Dilema.</h2>
<p>I am getting oh so very confused regarding why IE is adding extra space from the sides on only SOME of my images/div/headings and not others---as opposed to Firefox doing everything perfectly. This is pretty much my exact stripped down page. Notice below list of Minor Annoyances plaguing me. Yeah, sure, I could simply let things be cause, hey, it still works...but I am nagged why perfect browser harmony cannot be attained.</p>
<h3>List of Minor Annoyances</h3>
<ul>
<li>Notice in top header section: IE makes my h2 with border twice the width from the right than I would like. </li>
<li>In top header section: Logo looks great on left and top, but twice the space from bottom in IE.</li>
<li>Top links: spacing is perfect in both browsers(go figure).</li> <li>Onto side menu: space from top is perfect. IE space on left side is twice what's wanted.</li>
<img src="" alt="Front Desk" id="frontdesk" />
<li>Now image sitting here to right: IE puts no padding between letters and image. I could add margin: ; to the img, but that further increases my firefox space.</li>
<li>And, well, okay, that's it. Just wanna understand this IE extra spacing thing.</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- end maincontent -->
<br clear="all" /><!-- without this little <br /> NS6 and IE5PC do not stretch the frame div down to encopass the content DIVs -->
</div> <!-- end area -->

Any input/advice is appreciated...Thanks, James Btw, can I size these code boxes? It's huge. Similar TutorialsEDIT: Fixed [s]Anyone know why that ie6 keeps doubling the padding to the left of the that avatar image on the top [/s]http://new.gifdump.com/ ok im having a no brainer and i cant figure out what i did wrong, can someone take a look at this and tell me how to remove the space below. im posting a link, it has the css text posted on the page with the menu im working on that im having difficulty with. thanks in advance, Trizen www dot cooperativecreditsystems slash Untitled-2 dot html apparently being a new user i cant post links but just add the dots as dots and you should be able to find it. Hi, I am shifting from table-based layouts to CSS layouts and having a hard time with padding and margins. In the code given below, I had placed the DIV bodypan within the parent DIV mainpan to create a box look. I had given the padding and margins of both the DIVs accordingly. But in IE6,the child DIV bodypan is not displayed as intended. The top and right borders of the inner DIV is streched more than the bottom and the left borders. In FireFox, only the right border is getting streched. Any help in solving this issue for both IE6 and FireFox will be very much appreciated. Code: <html>

thanks, Rajkhowa I'm using the following code below to try and get a CSS template that I can use on sites to make them as consistent as possible across browsers. I've done fairly well (I think), but I'm having trouble with odd stubborn space around textarea's and other form elements. Any suggestions on how to remove these margins/padding? Both CSS and HTML is validated OK. Code:

font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}

If you have used firebug, then you know what I mean, because in Firebug, when you hover over an element in "inspect" mode it shows the margins and padding in different colors. I have heard of diagnostic CSS before, but have never seen anything quite like this. Does anyone know how Firebug does it, or know of anything similar? Hi all! I am a bit of a newb to CSS, and could certainly use some help on this slight problem that I can't seem to figure out. Here is the link. And the code is at the bottom as well. If you look closely you will see that in the main page content, the text to the right of the quote is just a little bit further right than text below the quote. I must admit that I find a bit of CSS still quite confusing. I could certainly use any help that all of you could provide. Thanks in advance! Code:

Hi! Could some experienced CSS developer please confirm this: All paddings, and right and left margins, always combine (what I mean is if you have a left object with a 5px right margin and a right object with a 5px left margin, the distance between the two will be 10px). However, bottom & top margins never combine. Is all this true? I am having a problem where I have a <div> that holds my body image, margin: 0 auto; Inside that is my content <div> with margin:15px; but this is visually dropping the background image's margin by 15px. The problem compounds every time I add another margin/padding requirement into the rest of the <div>. Code: html, body {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/background.png);
}
#body_image {
width:935;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/body.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
#container {
width:904px;
height:750px;
margin:15px;
}
#slug {
height:15px;
}
Code: <div id="body_image"> <div id="container"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </div> The extent of my CSS is a few tutorials online and the class I took 10 years ago where the teacher said "Here's CSS, you can't do much more than change your font size and color with it... on to tables!" Thought it'd only be fair to give you a little background. Hi All, This seems to be a bit of a recurring problem for me in a lot of the new CSS designs I'm trying... but it seems that IE interprets both padding and margins differently than how firefox interprets them. Sometimes it seems to do it the same, and other times differently. Take a look at this: http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/index.html CSS he http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/style.css Now look at it first in Firefox (the desired effect) and then in IE. IE seems to be incapable of understanding this particular piece of the code Code:
#menu {padding-top:140px;text-align:left;padding-left:38px;}
#menu ul{margin:0px;}
#menu ul li{display:inline;margin-right:10px;padding:5px 7px 5px 7px;color:#fff;}
#menu ul li a{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:none;}
#menu ul li a:hover{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:3px solid #fff;}
#menu ul li a.selected{color:#f88000;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:2px solid #f88000;}
Ideas? Help? I know the box model is different for IE than it is for FF but I've tried the box model hack and it doesn't seem to do anything. Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict 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=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions? according to the css 2.1 spec if you specify the margin/padding of an element in ems then it takes the measurement from that element's font size, this means that * { font size: 1em; } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; } gives h1 a margin of ... 1.5em ... which sucks. and is counter intuitive IMO. how is one supposed to go about having fixed margin spaces when using scalable fonts? now i know that margins overlap so theoretically setting p { margin-top: 1em; } instead would work, but only where a p lies under a h1. if i had a h1 then a h2 then a p then how large would the gap be between the h1 and the h2? and how would i control that reliably? the only way around this i can think of is this * { font-size: 1em; /*let's say this equates to 10px on the device it's being viewed on*/ } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; /*...then this would be 15px*/ margin-bottom 0.67em; /*..this would be 67% of 15px = 10px!*/ } h2 { font-size: 1.2em; /*12px*/ margin-bottom: 0.83em; /*83% of 12px = ... 10px!*/ } p { margin-botton: 1em; } Now, when i scale the font size all the margins should scale in accordance with the <p>. at least, according to my understanding of the spec. i'll try it in the next couple of hours (first thing monday morning just got to work)... anyone else thought of a scalable friendly alternative? Why doesn't the following code result in a blue border that is 10px wide? PHP Code: <Table> <tr> <td style="background-color: 0000FF;"> <Table> <tr> <td style="background-color: FF0000; padding: 10; margin: 10; border: 10px solid #00FF00;"> Test Font </td> </tr> </Table> </td> </tr> </Table> Hello. I'll preface this by saying that it's probably a common problem with a simple solution, but I've searched all over the net for a solution and come up empty. It's very possible that I'm using the wrong search terms, however. Anyway, on to the issue I'm having. I recently rebuilt a page using CSS with divs -- prior to that it had been using several nested tables and the code was getting pretty unwieldy -- and it looks great in most of the latest browsers. Except, of course, IE. The way the page is set up, I have two container divs floated left, each one using 48% of the available width, with a 1% margin on each side. It looks perfect in every browser except for IE. In IE it seems that the only style definition that it cares to acknowledge is the float left, so both container divs get forced together on the left side with no space in between. It's not unreadable, but it's not what i want either. Here's the style definition: Code: .newsTypeSection{
width:48%;
float:left;
margin-right:1%;
margin-left:1%;
display: inline;
}
the display:inline; was something i added later as it seemed to be a proposed fix from another site. It didn't make a difference that I could see, so I just left it. Here's an image that shows the difference. The top example is what it should look like. It looks perfect in every browser but IE. URL The bottom is what shows up in IE8, and probably other version of IE as well. Can anyone help me with this? It's beyond frustrating. Please let me know if you need more information. I can't link to the page because it's not public at the moment. Hello, I have the following issue. I need to create a full screen gray div with another white div inside it, positioned with 5 pixel margin. Basically it looks like a white div with 5px border around it. That wouldn't be a problem after i set body and html height to 100%, but here's what breaks: i add the first gray div (relatively positioned) and make it's min-height: 100%, then add lots of text and see if it autoexpands. It does! Now i add another absolutely positioned white div inside of it and set its position to 5px from each side. And now everything breaks ... doesn't autoexpand ... at least in opera. Here's the css: Code:
body, html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#maindiv {
position: relative;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
background: #777777;
}
#fullscr {
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
right: 5px;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
<div id="maindiv"><div id="fullscr">
lots of text with linebreaks
</div></div>
Does anyone have any ideas how to make it work? Hi, I have a list item that extends onto a second line. How do I keep the second line the indented more than the first line? thanks -S Hello, I have been having some problems with ie and auto margins, In firefox my page shows perfectly, but in ie, the page hangs to the left only showing the default margin that ie gives you. I want the page to center in the middle. The link to the page is spanglerdesign.com/test/Mulligan1 Anyone know why the margins change on the links when I hover over them with IE. (check left column navigation) http://section31.us/temp/tortilla/tortilla.html Note: This works fine on firefox, but goes ape**** on IE. 'Ello, I have a slight problem with some CSS I am using, it works perfectly fine in other browsers but in IE 6 it doesn't. What I basically want is the body of the page to have a 10pixel margin on the left and right of the page and 0 at the top and bottom, this bit I can do. I also want everything on the page to stretch from the end of each margin (so they basically start 10 pixels in from the left and 10 pixels in from the right), which I have got working fine. Now what I am trying to do is have one div layer stretching from the very left to the very right of the page and I am getting a bit stuck on it. What I have managed to do is set that div layer to be absolute positioning so I can use "left: 0px;" to get it all the way up against the left hand edge, but how can I get it right up against the left hand edge? I am sure if I set it to be the width of the page so for example if the page is 500 pixels wide and I use "width: 500px;" it would go from end to end, but what I want is it to go from end to end no matter what the width of the window is. For the rest of the layers that are not going from end to end but are staying within the body margins I used "width: 100%;" which works fine, but when I try it with the one that I want to go from end to end it only goes up to the body margin, but right to the end, well in IE it does anyway other browsers are fine with it. Does anyone know how to get around this? I have tried looking on the net but I can't find anything on it. All help will be greatly welcome. Thank you in advance, El Barto. |
