CSS - Adding Border Around Links
I have set up some links at the top of the page, and to make them appear more like buttons I have applied a background colour and border around them.
Works a treat in Opera, Mozilla but IE is only showing the side border.. If I add a display type of BLOCK they run down the page as I expected but the borders are added right the way around. I have loaded the code for people to look at, from what I can see Im doing it correct, but not correct enough it seems. Code:
CSS
#nav {
position: absolute;
width: auto;
top: 112px;
left: 10px;
background-color: #ffffff;
z-index: 4;
}
/* If I add ':link' to the top selector the background and all borders drop off aswell as colour.*/
#nav a {
color: #203F71;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #FFFF00;
border: solid 1px #000000;
padding: 1px 5px;
}
#nav a:hover {
color: #FFFF00;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #203F71
}
#nav a:active {
color: #203F71;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

Similar TutorialsHi all, with your great help, the pages looks now almost fine in both IE and FF. But, the photogallery looks much more better with all the photos bordered, like on this screenshot from FireFox. Unfornutely, when you check it in IE, all the images are messed around in a totally upredictable way (screenshot from IE). It was the same using vertical-align, but it's not so essential. So, is there please any solution to handle this? And is there a way how to center floating <div> within his parent <div> ("Unfortunately, there is no easy way to center floated elements." - But is there any way)? The red bordered div is floating, including all the images put in <div>, which are floating too, I'd love center the red bordered <div> inside the green bordered one. To be specific, I don't insist on the red bordered div to be floating, I just looking for a way how to center all the images inside the green bordered <div>. Here are CSS used: Fotogalerie.css, Web.css. Webdesign isn't really easy thing to learn , if all would work how it's supposed to work, it'd wonderful, but IE makes it all 3times harder , I really start to not to like him (more than before ) Hi, I'm having a strange problem. I finally got my layout designed so that it works in both IE and FF and will work scale correctly in relation to screen resolution but now with one aesthetic defect. I have it set up so that the side navigation and the body are scaled 25%:75% but I would like a "thin solid" border between the two. My problem is that when i add the border it exceeds 100% and pushes the main content area underneath the menu. Heres the code for the page; and yes the styles will eventually be moved to the external CSS. right now the only thing the external CSS provides is the body's background image. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title> TEST PAGE 2 </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/default.css"> </head> <body> <!-- LOGO ROW --> <div id="logorow" style="background-color: #FFFFFF; height: 100px; border-bottom: medium solid #7D5D10;"> <img src="/Images/owlstreelogo.jpg" height="100px" width="300px" alt="Welcome to Owl's Tree"> </div> <!-- END OF LOGO ROW --> <!-- TOP NAVIGATION ROW --> <div id="topnavigationrow" style="background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: thin solid #7D5D10;"> INSERT TOP NAVIGATION ROW LINKS HERE </div> <!-- END OF TOP NAVIGATION ROW --> <!-- CHANGING CONTENT AREA --> <div id="changingcontent" style="background-color: #FFFFFF;"> <!-- SIDE NAVIGATION AREA --> <div id="sidenavigation" style="background-color: #FF0000; width: 25%; float: left;"> </div> <!-- END OF SIDE NAVIGATION AREA --> <!-- BODY CONTENT AREA --> <div id="bodycontent" style="background-color: #0000FF; width: 75%; float: left;"> </div> <!-- END OF BODY CONTENT AREA --> </div> <!-- END OF CHANGING CONTENT AREA --> </body> </html> I want to add "border-right: thin solid #7D5D10" to the side navigation section but when I do i'm faced with this problem. Any idea on a solution to this problem? Oh yeah and as a side not all these sections will eventually have a white background so i'm not worried about the height of them not matching because it will be unnoticable, the sections are just colored so I can see where each section starts and ends. And another random question i'm not too worried about: If i fill a section (eg. the main content section) with a single character over and over past the width of the section without spaces it overflows and displays outside the div tags boundaries. Why does it do that? and is there anyway to make sure the text wraps in the extremely rare case this would happen? Thanks in advance to anyone reading this basically if i add a border around a button in FF i can click the button however the effect of "pressing" a button is lost.. IE mainatain this! is there a solution or will i have to live with it? Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers... See code below: Code:

Why is the bottom border of the menuelements (table cells) not getting correct in Firefox?<br>
None-active menuelements should have a border-bottom = black, active should have same bottom-border as page.<br>
Notice that I use border-collapse on the table in order to get the cell-border 1px thick between the menuitems.<br>
If I remove border-collapse, then there is no strange behaviour in Firefox.<br>
Any way to get this working in Firefox without breaking it in IE?

I'm a little puzzled by this weird display bug by IE7, this bug doesn't occur in IE6. It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code:
.results {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ;
}
Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? Simple question, but i'm trying to create a decent sized space in between my links, and make them white. I can make my links white, but can't seem to change the space inbetween them. HTML Code: div id="bar-links"> <center> <div class="content box1"> <table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="4"><img src="images/barlist_01.gif" width="500" height="23" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td background="images/barlist_02.gif" width="20"></td> <td background="images/barlist_03.gif" width="456"> </p> <div id="bar-links"> <h4><a href="#" title="Riley's Pub">Riley's Pub</a> <a href="#" title="Ho Down Bar"style="color: #fff">Ho Down Bar</a> <a href="#" title="Depot Square"style="color: #fff">Depot Square Bar</a> <a href="#" title="Egans Pub"style="color: #fff">Egans Pub</a> </h4> </div> </td> <td background="images/barlist_04.gif" width="24"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"><img src="images/barlist_05.gif" width="500" height="27" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </div> CSS Code: #bar-links { text-indent:inherit; text-align:left; }
How do you create an inner border around a table in css, rather than a "solid" border which creates a border line around the table on the outer half. The border needs to butt up against an image, rather than leaving a pixel space. This is the coder I have so far. Nothing big: Code:
.solid {
border: solid 1px #000000;
}
Thanks. Hi guys, First, please see this page: http://www.estyles.com.au/fotest/index.html To do the menu, I found a tutorial on the net and modified that. It works fine in firefox, however does not work in IE; there is a border between the menu and the main container. How do I fix that? Also, I have another problem. With the menu, I made the menu item that is selected have a larger border on the bottom; I did this so that the border would go over the top of the white border around the main content area, so the white border would be invisible under the selected button. Make sense? Well, I'm trying to do the same thing with the "Test Block" area. I want the bit where it says "Test Block" to have a border on the left, top and right. I want the bit where it says "Testing" twice to have a border on the left, bottom and right, and also on the top but not where the "Test Block" bit joins this. I tried doing the same as the menu, ie giving the "Test Block" a larger border, but this time it actually makes the div bigger rather than overlapping the second one. Any idea how to fix that? Hi guys. Can I change a table row border style like below?? Code: <tr style="border-bottom: solid 1px #DBDBDC";> Hi, I'm a total newbie when it comes to .. well everything. HTML, CSS etc ... I'm working on a little site, but I have a problem on (apparantly I can't post the link to my site because I'm a new user.. ) In Firefox everything is OK. But in IE when I hover over the bottom Div's (delphi.exe file) and (Delphi-files) I get a solid border instead of a dashed border as I wrote down in the CSS. Any idea what the problem is? Is it needed for me to post the CSS file? Might be a little bit embarrasing as it's probably the most rediculous CSS file you've ever seen. Thank you for your time. OK, I'm doing the ALA trick where you construct a menu from an unordered list and its list items. Very watered down example here but suppose my menu consists of a horizontal row of text links, with each link separated by a vertical line. In my CSS I am giving the <li> container a right border that is 1px thick and black. This creates the vertical line for each link. The problem here is that the last link in the menu should not have a vertical line following it. I thought this would be an easy fix - I created a style that rendered no borders and called it via the class attribute of the <li>. Unfortunately, this dis not make the border disappear for the last menu item. All other properties defined in that style are rendered properly but the border property set in the <li> will not be overridden. Here's some code: Code: #bdrtest ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#bdrtest li {
float: left;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
}
#bdrtest li a {
padding: 2px 10px;
}
.noborder {
border: 0;
}
and Code: <div id="bdrtest"> <ul> <li><a href="#">hello</a></li> <li class="noborder"><a href="#">world</a></li> </ul> </div> Now, if I use an inline style to remove the border, it displays as expected: Code: <li style="border: 0;"><a href="#">world</a></li> It also displays as expected if I redefine the scope of my style: Code: #bdrtest li.noborder {
border: 0;
}
I'd like to be able to use my .noborder style globally. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? OK, so I have a grid from a table. I have it so each td has a boarder on the top and left side - the td to the right/down of that is supposed to make up the boarder of the bottom and right hand side of the first td. However... there is a 1 pixel gap where they don't connect... obviously because this space is reserved for a boarder that originally would be there. Is there any way to get rid of this gap? Thank you. So here's my css code Code:
#top-div {
border-top : 10px solid #FF8F00;
width:100%;
position:relative;
top:-8px;
}
The intention is suppose to make an orange strip across the top of the page. The problem is that the left and right border of the div is not orange - specifically the top-right, top-left borders are not orange. So basically the strip is not stretch 100% from the otter most left to the otter most right side. Any advice? hi, i was wondering if it is possible to assign images for each border. something like border-top:5px dotted black; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); border-left:1px solid red; background-image:url(verBrdr.gif); border-right: 2px groove green; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); border-bottom:3px dotted #3399CC ; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); vertical-align:middle; padding:1em;} of course this doesn't work. thanks for the help... Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I want to get rid of the right border on the last link but keep the borders on the rest of the <li>'s. I'm totally stuck. Thanks, Brad CSS: Code: #navcontainer ul

The site is at forsythproducedirect.com, and i'm trying to apply a similar background to pauleys.co.uk, minus the top green 'bar', so it'll just be running up the sides with the space behind the content still white. Does anyone have any idea how i'd go about it? I'd really appreciate any help! Cheers, Graeme Hi, I am using blueBox class that makes a border. code: Code: <div class="blueBox" <table bgcolor="#FF3300"><tr><td> <div id="my_title" style="position: relative; width: 200px; height: 20px;" ></div> </td></tr> <tr><td>... My problem is that <div id="my_title" is causing right border of <div class="blueBox" disappear. When I change <div id="my_title" style="position: relative; to <div id="my_title" style="position: absolute; border is right where it should be. I do not want to use absolute positioning. What can I do about it? What is the problem? I can see that red background of the <table bgcolor="#FF3300"> does not even reach half of <div class="blueBox" Something is obviously pushing or covering right border of <div class="blueBox" Hi all currently trying to move away from a table based layout into a cleaner looking css layout with a problem. http://www.prxa.info/area51/viewtopic.php?tid=1 The top section is the css version, where as the bit below it is using tables. I am trying to get the "container" class to encompass the whole top bit which i am doing, but the border of it refuses to appear? This is the css bits html: Code:
<div class="container">
<div class="topicoptions">
<div style="float: left; width: 17%">
<a href="viewtopic.php?tid={$post['topic_id']}" class="topicoptions">#{$this->post_count}</a>

As you can see "container" covers all of it, and the css is simply a 1px border, i cannot see where i am going wrong. |
