CSS - <td> + Css "padding" Causes Overlap In Ie?
Due to CSS2 cross-browser issues, I am still using tables for layout, but at the same time trying to move as much layout to stylesheets as possible.
One thing I have noticed in Internet Explorer 6 is when I use a <td> within a table that has no cellpadding, cellspacing, or border, if I use a box inside that tag that uses CSS "padding" or "margin", the content appears to be either overlapping other boxes or simply being cut off instead of wrapping. ex: Code: <table> <tr> <td style="padding: 25px;margin-bottom:10px"> some content here </td> </tr> </table> or this, has same behavior: Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div style="padding: 25px;margin-bottom:10px">
some content here
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Depending on what boxes I have around that table and the width of the browser window, the content is sometimes overlapped over other boxes or simply cut off. How can I get the <td> to grow based on the content inside with respect to the padding or margins I set via CSS? Similar TutorialsI'm taking over a departmental web page that has a whole bunch of Code: <body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> in the web pages. Does anyone know how to put this in a stylesheet so that I don't have to put this code in every <body> tag when I create a new page? I've searched all over and can't find a reasonable resolution. Thanks Hello, Interesting problem... I have a span tag with a small font in it. When I don't specify a doctype, there is no red "padding" for lack of a better word. When I specify a strict xhtml doctype, I do get "red padding". I tried setting the padding to zero, but it didn't help. How can I get rid of the "red padding"? Code: <!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" xml:lang="en" dir="ltr" lang="en"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td style="background: red; padding: 0px;"> <span style="font-size: 50%; background: blue; padding: 0px;"> How can I get rid of the red space? </span> </td> </tr> </table> Thanks! Hi all, My first post here as I am struggling a bit with some CSS and i'm not sure where I am going wrong. My brother built a site based on a template, but he needed some help with maintenance and both the html and css code was complete crap. So I have started rebuilding the site from scratch to make it easier to maintain, and am copying a few bits and peices across from the old site to speed up the process. One such peice was the nav menu. As it stands the menu displays properly and the rollovers work etc, however it has some sort of mystery padding to the left hand side that I can't shift. Please can you take a look at the files and let me know where i'm going wrong? www [dot] dubtrippin [dot] com/test.html Cheers, Paul. I'm having a positioning problem with my menu. The site is he http://www.uoresurgence.com In FF2 it looks fine. The menu is centered in the left column. In IE, however, there seems to be something wrong with the .menu div, because it's positioned too far to the right. When I take out the .wrap div (makes the .menu align left instead of center), the issue is even more obvious. There seems to be a "phantom" left-side padding in IE. I know it's not a padding issue, but I can't figure out where that extra space is coming from, especially when everything outside the .menu div centers fine. Any help? what is the equivilant to <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> in css? i've tried PHP Code: table { border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; border-colapse: colapse; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } td { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; padding: 2px; } That makes the width 2px wide though. I want it to only be one. And the padding seems to be messed up as well. How can I put "padding" around my div/table using CSS? I tried left padding, right padding and so on but it doesn't seem to effect it and the text is right next to the edge of the div/table so it looks really bunged up! I'm using the CakePHP framework to build my site. I hope I'm not asking an impossible question and being since I'm new an all.. Anyways I finished a simple design well I thought it was simple anyway until I tried to make the content box to be a fluid width.

I haven't used CSS/html in awhile but if anyone can help me either "fix" the content box so it appears like mockup which would be centered on my screen as my resolution is 2560X1600(30") and just repeat the <div's> when needed. Hope someone can help me with my question. http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm some problems: in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok! in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image! the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen! (I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen). I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen. Example Picture The site itself. Any ideas? Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ? Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html). Thank you Hi, I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser. Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important. I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML Here is my Html PHP Code: <DIV id="nav"> <ul> <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li> <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li> <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li> <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li> </ul> </div> Pretty straight forward, now my css PHP Code: #nav { width:1005px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #nav li { float: left; text-align: left; } #1 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #1 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #5 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; } #5 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; } Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/ Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help. Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work. Cheers, Stuart that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently. However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image. If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall. (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work? I have a very simple question: I have this html code: Code: <div id="text"> <p><a>text</a></p> <p><a class="red">text</a></p> <p><a>text</a></p> </div> And this CSS style: Code: .red { color: red; }
#text a{ color: blue; }
I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side. Hi guys! Let's say I have this IN BODY directly: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <ul id="menu"> ... </ul> Or should I do it like this: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> ... </ul> </div> UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??) Thank you Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case, which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature? What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great. Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links? Thank you for any attention to this. Ed Hello, I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page... ------------------------ A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; text-decoration:none; font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold;} ----------------------- but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks! I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it. Any ideas on how to rectify this? Code:
<td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td>
.loginbox
{
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #9AA8C3;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 11px;
color: #40668C;
}
http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.). The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly. I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too. The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this. Thanks. Hi, I'm still new to CSS and have been learning for the past couple of days now. I'm having trouble getting a two-column layout working correctly. Using the faux method, I have a background set so the right-column has a different background color. This works fine. But I'm having trouble placing the elements inside of the container to work correctly. When the left-column has more content than the right, instead of the container (and thus the background) moving to fit it, the column just extends down by itself. However if the right column has more content than the left, it works correctly. I think it might be because of the float: left, but I'm still new and not exactly sure what the problem is. The URL to view this is http://serve5.net/extend/ - the CSS is right in the source for you to look at. Could someone point me in the right direction as far as getting the left-column to extend down correctly? It seems to work fine in Internet Explorer - but I use Mozilla Firefox and it's having this issue. However, in Mozilla, the left-column's background extends to the border fine, but in IE, it overlaps it. What can I do to fix this also? Thanks. |
