CSS - Weird Ie Text Selection Behavior
OK, this is a new one to me. I'm building my first CSS-only site, and am quite happy with the way it's going, but have discovered something quite odd today.
When viewed with IE, the browser handles text selection VERY oddly, not allowing users to highlight a block of text to, say, copy to the clipboard. Try it yourself: http://www.theatrebayarea.org/v2/ Any idea what this is about? It's not a huge bug, but I'd like to be able to fix it. Needless to say, non-IE browsers handle it fine. -D Similar TutorialsI've got such annoying thing when using border property for button: when I click on the button, which border is defined in CSS (i.e. not 'none' and has some width - 1px or more) I see some ghost rectangles appearing in certain areas of the page. These rectangles are just a garbage on screen, coz when I resize the page or make some other things like clicking on other button, it disappears... What's that and how can I beat it? Hi all, I'm building my first experimental CSS site, and I'm trying to attain accessibility for the widest array of users. While testing various browser settings, I came across this issue. (I'm looking at the site in IE, as I'm at work. I'll be able to look it over in other browsers when I get home.) When my site is viewed with text set to "Medium," everything appears fine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ When my site is viewed with text set to "Larger," the text in the middle left section doesn't fit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/251449...in/photostream/ Fair enough. But here's what has me stumped: when the site is viewed with the text set to "Largest," it fits again: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25144998@N00/4997174984/ I've learned alot very quickly in the last week or so, but this really has me over a barrel. Any ideas? CSS Code: body

Hey everyone, I made a site and it seems to have creeping text. On position is everything it says creeping text is caused by a left border and a bottom padding on nested block elements. If I try to highlight the creeping text(ng. or g.) it will highlight the word I think it's creeping form just above where it says wiring. I don't know how to fix it. If anyone has any sugestions that would be great. I can post more code if needed. The header is a div within an inner warper div which is within a wraper div. I need the extra divs to centre the page within the browser. Code: CSS
#header{

Attached is a screen shot. [edit] I fixed the g. but the ng. still exists. The g. was caused by the commented out image in the PHP code just above the slogan <p> element. I fixed them all, it was caused by the comments. I forget what the fix for that was but I just removed the unnecessary comments. I do relatively simple websites and I did a simple one for a client of mine and have a problem selecting text in a column. The website is, jeffwalterssafety.com I can't seem to even touch the text. It acts like an "image" when looking at it in Firefox/Chrome but I can select it in IE 7. Be gentle in the site's criticism... Also let me know if it's necessary to have my CSS file here. Thanks Hi im new, I've got a problem and I'm stumped as to why it's happening. I've got several lists on my page with link items. They all work fine, but when I hover over the links in my navbar in chrome and safari, the cursor turns to a text one rather than a hand. This means I can't actually click on the link. However, there are other lists on the page that work fine, and they all work in Firefox. Does anyone know why this is occurring? You can view the pages he andrewcharlton.co.uk/gaming_and_gambling2/ggbusinessplans.html (Can't seem to post a proper link as I am a new user) It's the about, contact links in the header that dont work. hmm. Would be grateful if anyone knows the answer. Thanks! I set up my photo pages so that each photo is in its own "bin" div with a caption. Each bin has the same width but different heights due to different caption lengths. All of the bin divs are coded to float left, so they stack vertically when there is only enough screen width for one. When the screen is wide enough to accomodate more than one, the divs that are wrapped to the next line (so to speak) start below the tallest previous div which can leave a lot of empty space. I'm sorry if this is confusing, a perfect example of what I am talking about can be found here with a browser window over 1024px wide: http://www.bsuto.com/photoblog/2006/05/27/ And the css is he http://www.bsuto.com/internal/sheet.css Does anybody have an idea of how to eliminate the empty space? Thank you all so much. sorry for the double post - reworded the question and reposted. Why is this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'> RECENT BLOGS </span> </div> different than this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'>RECENT BLOGS</span> </div> Why is IE7 adding its own padding when i don't add a nl between the span and the content within the span? It's the display:block issue that also happens with images. But I just can't understand why IE7 would add spacing there, the 2 above are almost identical. Go to this page in Firefox 1.5, and view the post titled "The Definition of a Know-it-All". Notice that the first letter of this post does not line up with the second line as it should. The line itself has moved one or two pixels up. This bug appears to be triggered by these factors (all must be present):
Firefox 1.5
First letter is floated
First letter is "I"
Paragraph is two lines long
Browser is in Standards mode
It looks fine in 1.0.7. It looks fine when the letter is not "I". It looks fine if the paragraph is longer than two lines. And it looks fine if you disable the DOCTYPE tag! What could be causing this? And is there a workaround I could use? Hi. I have noticed a strange behavior with my CSS and I cannot figure out a way to fix it. I have some css to override the body tag style. It sets the font family and size. I need to do this. However, when I use the font-size in the body, it adds extra pixels to a set of span tags that I use. (see attached picture). Here is my code. Does anyone know how I can include the font-size in the body, but not have that extra space in my div tags? Note: the sample image contains images on the edge of the tabs, but their presence has no effect on the issue. Also, this is for IE 6 on Windows. Thanks, Dave Code:

Well strange on IE 5.2 for mac (I am assuming others are ficked too) I have a div in which I want to put paragraphs in... Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#midRight {
position:relative;
top:20px;
left:160px;
width:550px;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border:1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="midRight">
<p>line1</p>
<p>line2</p>
<p>line3</p>
<p>line4</p>
<p>line5</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Everything works fine on firefox (as one would expect) but on IE the first paragraph displays fine (at the left edge of the DIV) but all the rest indent themselves to the right by 160px (or whatever I change the left:xx px; of the div to. This is bizzare! I cant work out why the first one would be fine but all the rest indented. Anybody know how I can fix this? (so IE looks like this) Code:
line 1
line2
line3
line4
line5
etc I'm not extremely familiar with CSS, as I've only used a few simple implementations of it. Please move this if it's in the wrong place, but I was wondering if it was possible to alter the behavior of <a> tags so that when clicked, instead of loading the page specified in the src, it executes a JavaScript function, providing the src for a value. It seems to me that this would be done through CSS. I could go through and replace each "src='src'" with "onClick='function(src)'", but there are far too many pages, each with far too many links, to edit. So it seems it would be easier to simply import a CSS style in each page that'll have the same effect. Any ideas? Okay I am trying my best to let go of HTML tables and move to the wonderful world of using CSS for layout. I continue to find that, although it may be an archaic way of doing things, most of the time using tables for layout is the quickest and most accurate way for me to get the job done. Please don't hate, because I want to become more knowledgeable at using CSS! So in my latest project I have a problem. I have a navigation bar that stretches always accross my page. In that navigation bar I have two primary things: on the left I have a menu section, and on the right I have a login section. In the past I would have easily implemented the layout with tables, using something like this... <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr style="background-color: black;"> <td align="left">[stuff for my menu section]</td> <td align="right">[stuff for my login section]</td> </tr> </table> The end result would be a solid black navigation bar that would contain the stuff for the menu section on the left and the stuff for the login section on the right. Each would sit inside and flush against its respective side of the containing solid black navigation bar. Also, this navigation bar would automatically adjust its height to contain both sections, no matter how tall. Pretty simple stuff, right? So now I am trying my best to figure out how to do this with CSS. At this point I have only a very crude understanding of how CSS and divs work in layouts. I started out by making a container div... <div id="NavigationBar" style="background-color:black;"> </div> ...then I embedded a div for each section... <div id="NavigationBar" style="background-color:black;"> <div id="MenuSection"> [stuff for menu section] </div> <div id="LoginSection"> [stuff for login section] </div> </div> ...When I ran the page I quickly noticed the output was quite different than what I expected. It showed my black navigation bar, but it stacked the login section along the left side and just under the menu section. So after some reading I discovered I should be able to solve the problem by assigning 'float:left' to the menu section div and 'float:right' to the login section div. And so I did. While this did cause each to appear in the correct location (menu section on the left, login section on the right), it also had an undesirable effect. Each section, after attachment of the 'float' styles, was no longer contained in the parent div. As a result each no longer contained the background color of the parent. And so now, while I have a partial solution, I am still left wondering what I should do to continue on and solve this issue. What I really need is for each section to be *contained* within the parent div and also use its background color, while also aligning properly to the left or right sides of the parent div. In other words, I want the black background color of the navigation bar to be shown behind my menu and login sections. And if my menu should render at 40 pixels high, 300 pixels high...whatever, the containing parent div should adjust to contain it, just like an HTML table would. For me, setting 'height' values for the parent div (essentialy in the background) and then using 'float' styles is not a good solution. What if the menu is rendered using a different font and thus changes heights? And even more important, what if a user does not view the page in standard 96DPI mode? In either case the rendered heights of the menu and login sections could change. If I were using tables this would not be a problem; the table would simply adjust to the needed height, no matter what. How can I get the same effect when using CSS and divs? I'm currently working on the CSS template for a new client and running into a strange issue. The design calls for a separation bar of repeated background to resemble a negative strip (site is a portfolio piece for a commercial photographer), and below that the continuation of a gradation. For some reason, however, in Mozilla-based browsers a gap (visually as if it was a top margin) is appearing in the background repeat (gradation) in the pageblock. To see it, visit http://www.spearsphotography.com/test_index.html in Firefox or another Moz browser. The strange thing is... I noticed the contained news items were not being pushed down (that is to say, it wasn't a margin issue). I tried changing the CSS definition of the background image position on the div, etc. Finally to see exactly where the browser was drawing the div, I set a 1px green border on #pageblock. Oddly enough it fixed it! (weird, huh?) This is especially strange since the float: right; div with the splash image -is- affected by the mysterious "margin". You can see that by going to http://www.spearsphotography.com/test_index2.html. (Contains an inline style to add the border to #pageblock The css file is at http://www.spearsphotography.com/css/style.css I just don't get it. This was all coming together so quickly from the Photoshop mockups, and now a brick wall that is driving me mad. I have a very strange quirk going on with my development site right now. It's being developed locally so I can't provide a link to test with. However, I can describe the exact behavior. When any browser is maximized, everything looks great. If you size the browser, dragging any corner in any direction, again, the site looks great. However if you hit the restore down button on any browser, the following occurs: (Example) Browser max is 1900 x 1080. Browser 'restore down' is 1024x768. When hitting restore down the site looks fine at first glance. However, if you drag the horizontal scroll bar down at the bottom of the browser to the right, a large white gap appears in place of the header, the menu, the body, the footer where the background should be. (On the links below you will need to add an h t t p : / / to see the image issues I'm having. For some reason, I can't post any and it's really the only way I can show how this issue is occurring. Here is what it looks like before dragging horizontal bar: img21.imageshack.us/img21/2602/beforedrag.jpg Here is the strange gap pictu img31.imageshack.us/img31/6199/strangegap.jpg Again, if I grab the corner of the browser itself and drag diagonally and resize, the background fills and stretches exactly the way it should. Anyone have an idea of what might be causing it? I'm using a div container as a wrapper: div#container { text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; } Header contains a flash file. Menu contains: background-image: url(/images/menu-background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; My main nav content is in a smaller container: #nav-main { position:inherit; white-space:nowrap; width:913px!important; font-family:helvetica, sans-serif; margin: auto auto!important; } Any ideas for what I need to do to fix this? Many thanks. Hi. I have a nav bar on my site which I created using Suckerfish Dropdowns. my <UL>-s id is "nav". Everything is working when I hide secong level list by Css: Code: ul ul{display:none;}
But when I change it to (so as to not hide all second level lists) Code: ul#nav ul{display:none;}
, the browser still hides the list, but didn't show it on hover! : Code: li:hover ul, li.sfhover ul{
display: block;
}
This behaviour seems very strange for me. Can anyone explain me that? The address of the page is http://www.dinal.ru/new/ Thank you. Artashes Hi there. I have a blank space that appears as a link when my animated T-R MENU button is clicked. Click here to view the problem It didn't do this in the last version of FF... I can't see why it's doing it, there aren't blank spaces in the code to make it behave this way. Opera, Safari and IE view it fine. Just FF3 that's doing it. Can anyone shed some light on why it's doing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Hello there. I'm afraid I can't provide a live example because it's a complicated commission that hasn't yet been published, but I'll try to be as specific and detailed as possible. My overall aim: To have a squarish div on the left hand side and a few short rectangular divs vertically stacked on the right hand side of a container. The container is a div whose width is known. The stacked rectangles must have a minimum width but there is some margin for error. All these divs are separated by margins. Code: OOOO === OOOO OOOO === OOOO OOOO === There are other, unrelated blocks above and below this arrangement, and there are blocks nested within these divs as well, all unrelated though. So how did I implement this? I figured this was simple enough: Code: <div> ... <div class="left-square">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> <div class="right-short-rectangle">...</div> ... </div> And the CSS would then look something like this: Code:
.left-square {
width: 100px;
height: ...px;
float: left;
}
.right-short-rectangle {
margin-left: 110px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
height: ...px;
}
So, this works just fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer. However, for some reason, Chrome doesn't like it. What Chrome does is, it completely ignores the margin on the right-short-rectangles, placing them underneath the floating left-square, but giving them the correct width (the width of the container minus the margin). By fooling around with the DOM inspector, I discovered that if I remove the margin attribute from one of the rectangles, they show correctly (in Chrome). However, they obviously will break in Firefox and Internet Explorer if I do that. Also, if I remove the float attribute from the square, Chrome suddenly recognizes the margins of the rectangles properly (when it no longer matters). So, does anyone have any idea about what's going on here? EDIT: I just noticed this and it is certainly relevant: The right-short-rectangles contain a few *unstyled* divs and one div that is floated to the RIGHT (in other words, content I want to have on the right hand side of each of these rectangles). Without this inner, right-floated div, the margin issue no longer happens in Chrome. The inner div is, however, essential. What can I do? Use tables? 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 |
