CSS - Using Float:right Adds Unwanted Vertical Space
I am trying to style a form using CSS instead of tables but am getting unwanted space above form elements when i use float:right to position them to the right of the prompt text. I have spent some time reading about the problem which appears to be an error with IEs rendering of CSS. I have tried several solutions posted on the web with no success. Can anyone recommend a solution to my problem. Thanks.

I keep getting a vertical space between two different block containers. here is the html: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <meta name="description" content="" /> <link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <div id="menu"> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Here is the CSS: Code:
#wrapper{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 977px;
}
#header {
margin: 0;
background: url(images/header_01.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
width: 977px;
height: 198px;
}
#menu{
margin: 0;
background: url(images/header_02.jpg) no-repeat 100% 0;
float: left;
width: 977px;
height: 44px;
position:relative; top: 100%
}
My theory: the top part of the header is 154 px tall. The bottom part is 44px tall. That makes 198px height. so with header being 198px tall, and the smaller image with a relative position 100% down from the top should correctly line up the two images. But yet I have a HUGE gap?!?! Why? Even if I put 154px instead of 100% for top ... it will not line up correctly. Hi there. A very frustrating problem and so simple a situation . I have two divs, one stacked on top of the other. Nothing special with positioning or anything. Total barebones stuff. If I put an image (whether with image tag or as background-image) in the top div, the div will be padded on the bottom. This only happens in IE. As an example I have my page he URL The top div bgcolor is lime green, and you'll see it adds some extra space under the image. Compare in IE & FireFox and you'll see what I mean - green can be seen under the image in IE. The bottom of the image in the top div should be butted up against the top of the second div, whose bgcolor is red. No green should exist between the image and red. Thanks for any help, this should be rediculously simple for someone who knows CSS quirks well. page passed validation - xhtml 1.0 @ w3c.org Hi everyone. I have a header image and directly below it the div that holds my navigation. In FF it works great, but in IE I get about a 5px space inbetween the header image and the navigation div. The navigation div is colored so it's really easy to tell where it stops and starts in IE. Here's my CSS code: Code:
body {
background-image: url(images/bgshadow.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: 50% 0;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#content {
width: 738px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 0 0;
vertical-align: top;
}
#header {
width: 738px;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#nav {
width: 738px;
height: 25px;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
background-color: #86462F;
vertical-align: top;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
color: #fff;
}
#nav ul {
width: auto;
float: right;
margin: 5px 0 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#nav ul li {
margin: 0 25px 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
}
and my markup: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="header"> <img src="images/header.jpg" width="738" height="100" /></div> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li>Home</li> <li>Register</li> <li>Go Play!</li> </ul> </div> I've tested the white-space bug in windows IE (taking out all of the white-space in the markup) but that only had a marginal effect on the list. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, -Brian Hello, im working on styling an unordered list into a file tree. So far, so good. However, do you see that space that is showing in between each <li>, between the T (elbow2.gif) image, its very unwanted. Code:
/* -- FILE BROWSER -- */
#browseFiles {
padding: 0 0 0 20px;/* 000pix handles indent */
}
#browseFiles ul {
font: 10px sans-serif;
color: #000;
list-style:none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#browseFiles li {
/*display:compact;
height: 18px;*/
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#browseFiles .fileDiv {
height: 18px;
background: url(images/elbow2.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
}
#browseFiles .fileLink {
padding: 0 0 0 13px;
margin: 3px 0 0 0;
}
#browseFiles .dir {
list-style:none;
font: bold 10px sans-serif;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#browseFiles .file {
padding: 0 0 0 3px;
margin:0;
}
Heres the html Code:
<div id='browseFiles'>
<ul>
<li class='file'>
<div class='fileDiv'>
<a class='fileLink'>
<img class'fileIcon' src='images/file.gif' />
</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class='file'>
<div class='fileDiv'>
<a class='fileLink'>

</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class='file'>
<div class='fileDiv'>
<a class='fileLink'>

</a>
</div>

</ul>

Thank you for the help in advanced. I'm just playing around with some HTML and CSS for my student home page. I'm trying to use divs only, without the aid of any tables. All seems to be going well, except for my content area. I cannot post a link, becuase I'm a new user, but here is the page I'm working on: http://students.uww.edu/beghindb27/. The page is CSS and HTML validated properly, but only views properly in IE 6, not Firefox. In Firefox there appears to be a 10px padding below the content_top and above the content_bot divs. This should not be there, and does not appear in IE. In the past I've been able to remove this by using "!important" in my CSS to have Firefox ignore the accepted padding, but I'm looking for a better way to fix this, or the actual reason these paddings are showing up. CSS: Code: <style type="text/css">

Thank you. Hi there, I'm building a page that requires 100% width & height, and absolutely NO margins on any side. I've applied the following inside my CSS: body { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: 000000; } For this to work in Firefox, I've also had to add the same code just above the head tag (inconvenient, but I don't mind). My problem is the unwanted right margin that appears in IE. I have no idea how to remedy this. You may view the page here. Thanks so much! EDIT: Realized this is not an HTML issue. If a mod could move this to the CSS forum I would appreciate it. Thanks Please take a look at this page: http://www.4xp.net/template2/ I cannot get the space under the horizontal nav bar to go away. It has to do with the image links, because if I remove then and put plain text in there, that space goes away. It only happens in IE, the space isnt there in FF. Here is my css PHP Code: body { margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; background-image: url('images/bg.jpg'); } #header { width: 900px; height: 90px; padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left; background-image: url('images/header_bg.jpg'); } img { padding: 0; margin: 0; } #menu { border-top: 1px solid #003366; border-bottom: 1px solid #003366; width: 100%; height: 25px; background: url('images/menu_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; text-align: left; } .menulink { margin-left: 20px; height: 25px; } #page { width: 900px; border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #status { width: 900px; height: 25px; vertical-align: middle; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #003333; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone! It seems the form that creates unwanted space in IE. Site in question: http://www.phaseninedesign.com/p/uber/ HTML: Code: <div id="topMenu"> <form action="#" method="post"> <div id="reviewsBut"><a href="#"><img src="images/reviewsBut.gif" alt="Reviews" /></a></div> <div id="articlesBut"><a href="#"><img src="images/articlesBut.gif" alt="Articles" /></a></div> <div id="aboutBut"><a href="#"><img src="images/aboutBut.gif" alt="About" /></a></div> <div id="contactBut"><a href="#"><img src="images/contactBut.gif" alt="Contact" /></a></div> <div id="sponsorsBut"><a href="#"><img src="images/sponsorsBut.gif" alt="Sponsors" /></a></div> <div id="loginButTop"><a href="#"><img src="images/loginButTop.gif" alt="Sponsors" /></a></div> <div id="passwordBoxTop"><input type="password" id="password" onFocus="if(this.value=='password')value=''" onBlur="if(this.value=='')value='password';" value="password" /></div> <div id="userTopBox"><input type="text" id="user" onFocus="if(this.value=='Username')value=''" onBlur="if(this.value=='')value='Username';" value="Username" /></div> </form> </div> ----------------------- CSS: Code:
#topMenu{
width: 1005px;
height: 23px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #282a1d;
background-image: url(images/topMenuBG.gif);
border-right: 1px solid black;
border-left: 1px solid black;
}
I've tried moving the form outside of the dive that its in, but that makes the space even bigger. When I browse the website with internet explorer, in the search section, there is a space after the form area. How can I remove it? http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ Here is the industry news page I have the picture floating either right or left with text beside it - then a line underneath it. I want the line to always be at least 10px below the picture. When the text is less, the line crosses into the picture. xhtml: Code:

Any suggestions on how to get this consistently since through css accounting for varying lengths of text?? I know I can adjust padding/margins for each section to make it work, but I want something that is more universal that I can always use to get the same appearance. Thanks! I have a region with a div, an image and another div stacked vertically. For some reason, there are a few pixels of blank space between the image and the bottom div. http://www.brucethorn.com/index.php...maritime-sunday On another page, I have regions with a "line-height + vertical-align:middle" centering of an image that make up thumb nails. There too is a few pixels of blank space, but at the top and images, pushing them down and slightly outside of the div that contains each of them. http://www.brucethorn.com/index.php/paintings I suspect these are the same problem, but I could be wrong. The issue is most visable in FF, and noticable in Opera. I only see something sporadic for the second occurence in IE Code: body {background-color:#999999; margin:0px; padding:0px; border:0px; text-align:center; font-family:"Courier New", Courier, mono;}

This is my first css based site...i'm having a nightmare time and wonder why this is so much better than tables when its taking me 4 hours in css what takes me 5 minutes with tables? that being said if you go he www . chhs . unh . edu / v3 . html on the right side here is the issue: in FF the contained divs are larger than the containing div in IE there is like 20 pixels of space at the top of the first containted div here is the code for this section, the sidebar is the container and the other 2 are the divs inside, quicklinks is the first one. Code:
.twoColFixRtHdr #sidebar1 { width: 300px; float:right; text-align:left; background-color:#00F; padding:0px; display:inline; line-height:100%; }
div#quicklinks{

can anyone help me? i haven't used a board like this in like 8 years so i'm sorry if i'm doing it wrong. thanks! My site I am redesigning this site for a theater camp company. I want to create the effect of stage lights shining with a image rollover and am partly there. I am stuck now because I want to use an HR as the cross beam with images of stage lights directly below (take a look at the site to understand). I do not know how, or if it's possible, to line up the images directly below the HR (bar) so there is no space at all. Any help? i have two divs on top of eachother with images in each. there is a space i can't get rid of in IE..looks perfect in firefox. i've tried cutting out the margins and padding to no avail. seems like ie regularly has spacing problem from google searches but none of their fixes have worked yet. I'm going through hell trying to make a site look the same in IE and Firefox. The biggest problem is the gaping spaces IE adds between elements. What is the best way to fix this? Example at patrolmag.com/new. Any advice or help would be most appreciated. P.S. How the page looks in Firefox 3 is ideal. I just need to make at least IE7 come somewhere close to matching it. Hi, I'm trying to avoid using absolute positioning (and using a margin or padding) to vertically place two divs. clear:both seems to be close but it clears double the amount of space that I want. 1. What determine's how much space is cleared? 2. Is it a problem that neither of the divs is floated? http://www.sabahseaside.com/sti/testindex.php Code: #homecontent {
position:relative;
margin:10px;
}
#homecontent p {
text-align:justify;
margin:0 1em 2em;
}
.hometop {
margin:0; padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.homebottom {
margin:0; padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
clear:both;
/*margin-top:4em;*/
}
http://www.sabahseaside.com/sti/layout.css Oh yeah, and the images in those divs are floated! AHHH! Simple layout but having issues with the left sidebar float aligning flush with the container next to it on top in IE. Works perfectly in FF of course. Here is the link to the page: http://www.kofc2332.org/new_site/ All help/suggestions/guidance is appreciated. How do I reduce the vertical space between form elements that I put inside a div? I have text "username" with the textbox below it but there is like 25 pixels of vertical space between them. Brad |
