CSS - Problems With Css : Scrollbar Color And Left Margins
Hello, I am having a real problem with my template at URL ; when I preview the template it looks great but once i save it and publish it, the scrollbar doesn't appear lilac and the left margins on my posts are too close to the left. I really don't know how to arrange this, I am new to html and of course a newbie to css. So here I include the code and if someone can give me some help i will be really grateful.

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? [sorry] What is this? XHTML don't like the css scrollbar styles... CSS scrollbars is only supported in IE 5.5++. I'm using IE 6.0... try it in IE 5.5...see if it works... Code:
body {
background-color: #a7b1ae;
background-image:url('../images/bg.gif');

I know i can use negative margins but I think I'm just missing something elsewhere that would allow me to use 0px margins, etc. Thanks in advance for the help! Here's the relevant css: Code:

When viewing it, on ie7, it seems the padding is not being read, so the fixed navigation, is overlapping my content. This is the css - Code:

I have no idea the fix, have tried display:inline; and had a look around, but am not sure what the exact problem is, and am quite new so all a bit confusing. Any help would be really useful!!! i have also uploaded 2 screenshots. one how it looks on all other browsers . . . and one on IE7!!! http://www.edgeandbarrett.com/zub/test2/how%20it%20should%20look.png http://www.edgeandbarrett.com/zub/test2/ie7.png Its the only issue i have before i can complete site . . . . . . and really want to crack on!!!!!! Thanks, Orwel Hey there I have a small IE6 problem where my "boxR" margin-left positioned div is moving more away from left than expected but works perfectly fine in FF. 3px more to the left to be exact. This is happening to my "boxL" div also (but only 1px more to the left than expected) CSS: Code: .bigBox {background-color:#eeeeee; width:800px; clear:both;}
.leftCol {width:240px; float:left; position:relative; display:block; background-color:tan;}
.rightCol {width:560px; float:left; position:relative; display:block; background-color:lightBlue;}
.boxL {width:230px; margin-left:7px; margin-top:5px; position:relative; display:block;}
.boxR {width:550px; margin-left:3px; margin-top:5px; position:relative; display:block;}
HTML: Code: <table class="bigBox" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td valign="top"> <div class="leftCol"> <div class="boxL">Content Goes Here...</div> </div> <div class="rightCol"> <div class="boxR">Content Goes Here...</div> </div> </td></tr> </table> Pictures of problem: FF: IE6: The 2 blue boxes are "boxL" and boxR" The background color "Tan" and "lightBlue" is the "leftCol" and rightCol" divs See how the "boxL" div has moved left 1px more and the boxR has moved 3px more to the left in IE6... how can i fix this? Thanks heaps hey all, i have divs within a div but the inner div with the text does not expand the main wrapping div with so the main wrapping div is very thin and the text just goes over it?? here is the code Code: <div id="greyinset"> <div id="insetcontent"> <form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <div id="insetcontentL"> <div align="left"> <label>Smoking:</label> <br> <label>Bed Type:</label> <br> <label>Accessible:</label> <br> </div> </div> <div id="insetcontentR"> <div align="left"> <input name="smoking" type="radio" value="yes"> yes <input name="smoking" type="radio" value="no" checked> no<br> <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> King <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> Two Beds <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> No Preference<br> <input name="accessible" type="checkbox" id="accessible" value="yes"> </div> </div> </form> </div> </div> and the css code Code:
#greyinset { width: 100%; background-color: #eee; border: 1px solid black; clear:left; }
#insetcontent {width: 100%; padding: 3px 10px 3px 10px; white-space:normal;}
#insetcontentL {width: 50%; float: left;}
#insetcontentR {width: 50%; float: right;}
any ideas?? or do i have to go back to trusty tables thanks RF i've been trying to get a button that i made with <div> tags to light up when the mouse goes over it, but i cant. Only the link within the <div> tag lights up. Please show me the problems with my ways... thanks 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. Hey Guys, I designed a header logo in the top left corner of my psd document. I am now slicing my design up and I can't seem to be able to position the header into the top left hand corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my CSS Code: ul#nav { height: 91px; width: 271px; margin:30 auto; background: url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat; } Code: <style>
.class1, .class1 a { color: blue; }
.class2, .class2 a { color: green; }
</style>
<div class="class1">
<a href="moo.html">This link shows up as blue</a>
<a href="moo2.html" class="class2">This link shows up as blue even though it should be green.</a>
</div>
Anyone know how to get around this without resorting to applying classes to every <a> tag.. ? Like say I want to change the color of a single link while leaving default to all the others.. I am having two problems with a theme I have for PHPBB3. One problem is the text that you type into textboxes when making a new post, updating your profile, or a few other spots is white on a very light grey background; therefore, hardly showing up. The second problem is that the page display a white line at the bottom of a few pages (but not others) and the line goes away if you resize the IE window smaller, but reappears again if you full screen it. I know the first problem has to exist in the stylesheet.css file; however, I am not sure where to make these changes as I am not familiar with PHPBB stylesheets. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Forums: Click Here Stylesheet: Click Here Pictures of my problems: Text problem- Line Problem - Hey, I use div's to create my page structure (you can see it on the screenshot) http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/...tructurege3.jpg The green part is the navigation and the blue part the contents of the page. But as you see the colors both dont fill up till the bottom of the document. And if i set: height: 100%; then it will fill up to the bottom, but when the contents gets to big and a scrollbar is needed, then the part that you scroll down is not filled up with the colors anymore. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Hi there, I have set up some scollbar colours for IE. I have some scrollable divs that are using the css, but the main scrollbar to the right of the browser does not have the css applied to it. This is my css: PHP Code: scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #d4e5ab; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #517107; scrollbar-face-color: #719e07; scrollbar-highlight-color: #add450; Any ideas why that is? 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, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)? Here's some example HTML: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!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" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>
And the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }
I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE .. The main CSS: Code: * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

Hi, I have this page: 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=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
p {padding: 0; margin: 0; }
html {padding:0; margin:0;}
.leftDiv {
height: 100px;
width: 30px;
background-color: teal;
float: left;
}
.mainDiv {
padding: 5px 0 10px 0px;
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.mainPara {
padding-left: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="contentDiv" style="width: 700px; height: 700px;">
<div class="leftDiv">
</div>
<div class="mainDiv">
<p class="mainPara">
First Para
</p>
</div>
<div class="mainDiv">
<p class="mainPara">
Second Para
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB |
