HTML - Strange Bug In Ie - Divs Shift When Links Are Hovered?
Hey all,
It's very embarrassing to have to ask a question like this on a web coding forum when the site I'm having trouble with is centered around web design...but you gotta do what you gotta do. My excuse is my general lack of experience with IE's quirks. My problem is simple - hopefully the fix is, too. When my website (http://www.infusiondesign.org) is loaded in internet explorer, sometimes the "content" div is centered, as it should be - and sometimes it isn't. When it is centered, hovering over a link generally causes the div to align:left, and it won't center again until you refresh the page. The issue is hard to describe, but it's self-explanatory if yuo visit the page. I'm baffled - my pages are almost valid XHTML, and they work well in Firefox. Is this some sort of strange quirk with IE, or am I totally incompetent? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Similar TutorialsShort Sersion: What the best way to make a link dragabal but not clickable while being dragged? Long Version: I have a bunch of icons links (in layers) that the visitor can drag over the screen and even remove if they want to. (it's totally cosmetic, and everything is reset as soon as the page is refreshed, but it ads a level of detail - hence why am doing it) Since this is an unnecessary function it cannot interfere with the visitor’s ability to use the site smoothly. Therefore my issue; Since the links are dragabal, as soon as you click the link to drag it does what a link does and loads the page (after you release/drop it) Fix 1. The Shift. The quickest fix is to set the top margin of the button to the height of the image of the button. This way when you click it the button is shifted down and the handle becomes the area above the button, this way you can’t click the button while dragging. This does somewhat kill the effects, it looks a little odd when you go to click and drag the link and suddenly the links shifts down and you are holding the empty space above it. But it does solve the problem very simply and there for should be considered. Fix 2. The DblClick This is even a simpler fix to fix1 but it could interfere with the usability of the site… Setting the link to activate on a double click instead of a single click. This way the click to drag the button doesn’t activate the link. http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.php?t=84281 Fix 3. “Block Layer” Another thought is to show a hidden layer when the drag function is activated this will block the link from being clicked. The “block’ layer can be hid again once the button is dropped, or in my case since I am already using the on drop event and have “only when snapped” checked, set the “block” layer to hide on mouse out, and assign a onclick link to the “block’ layer as well, incase the visitor tries to click the link after dragging it without mouseing off it first. This as far as I can see is the best compromise, however it adds a lot of additional code and mouse events that could effect the performance of the page. The best fix would be to disable the onclick event while dragging but I am not sure how to do that, and if you even can. Additionally I would assume that if disabled, the onclick event would need to be enabled after dragging, and since I am already using the on drop/ when dropped event and have “only when snapped” checked that could pose a problem. Any thoughts? I have two sections of my school website, one for study, one for plans. I have indexes for each, and links in the indexes that go to "journals." Sadly, for some reason, the plans one is working find, when I click on a link in the index it stays in the same category and then goes down, but the study one goes to my homepage. I'll try doing a diagram to help you guys out The arrows represent a link I can click on: (I took out the http b/c this site made the links shorter with ... and you wouldn't be able to see what I'm about to point out) Plans Section http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs/at/st...Cai/2006/Plans --> http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs/at/st...lan.html#Intro Study Section (Doesn't work) http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs/at/st...Cai/2006/Study --> http://linus.yhspatriot.net/cs/at/st...-11.html#12-11 Notice the problem is that in the first one, it stays in plans, but in the second one, it actually leaves Study, and goes to Folsom_Cai. Here's the code for the plans index: HTML Code: <ol> <li> 1st Quarter Plan (finished)</li> <ul> <li><a href="1stQuarterPlan.html#Intro">Introduction</a></li> </ul> </ol> Here's the code for the Study index: HTML Code: <li>Week of 12-11 <ul> <li><a href="12-11.html#12-11">Thinking about the Classroom Code</a></li> </ul> </li> Here's where I define the name <a name=""> so it will go to a certain part of the page Plans: HTML Code: <p><a name="Intro"></a></p> Study: HTML Code: <h3><a name="12-11"><span>12-11</span></a></h3> thanx for any help, feel free to ask a question - i'll respond in this forum Strange ey, IE working like it's supposed to.. while FF just site there.... please note - the header and the navigation do work in all browsers, its the title's and images that dont work correctly in FF. Anyways, have a look at the site here, and try to figure it out. Kinda strange, it used to work, ever since i moved the mySQL database it broke in FF thanks Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to create this screen shift effect of the background, like in this website. http://www.nikebetterworld.com/ I would be very appreciative of any help you guys could give me. Thanks in advance. Hey All! I am looking for a little help on this. I had a problem with my site (www.darose.ca) where I would change the size of the text and the page 'breaks' (refer to uploaded jpeg). However, I have managed to fix this by restricting CSS to show only a particular font. STILL, the problem persists as when I would test my webpage at http://browsershots.org/ it would show different browsers but still the page is "breaking". The weird thing is everything looks fine in IE !!! I am wondering if this is a simple CSS code...ex having the length and width pushed together as far as it could go (always). Does anybody know a way around this??? Brad http://www.darose.ca How do I vertically move all of the text (ie Days:Hour:Min:Sec) in the 2nd row of the column that says "Test" to the top of the box? How do I vertically move all of the text (ie Days:Hour:Min:Sec) in the 2nd row of the column that says "Best Time since 2005" to the middle of the box? Thank you. <table border="1"> <tr> <th> </th> <th>Test</th> <th style="color:green">Best Time Since 2005</th> </tr> <tr> <th>Comp X</th> <th> <div id="cpcontainer"> <table><tr class='text' align='center'><td>Days :</td><td> Hour :</td><td>Min :</td><td>Sec</td> </tr><tr class=''text'' align=''center'' style='color:green'> <td>11 :</td><td> 5 :</td><td>0 :</td><td>0</td> </tr></table> </div> </th> <th> <div id="cpcontainer1"> <table><tr class='text' align='center'><td>Days :</td><td> Hour :</td><td>Min :</td><td>Sec</td> </tr><tr class=''text'' align=''center'' style='color:green'> <td>11 :</td><td> 5 :</td><td>0 :</td><td>0</td> </tr></table> </div> </th> </tr> </table> My page loads correctly, but when I open a new tab in IE7 so the tab bar appears, my page shifts to the left, and the menu overlaps/ obscures parts of the images. I can't find a reason why this happens, can anyone help? A screenshot of the error can be found below: http://www.onetopsoccer.com/error.jpg The page itself is at http://www.onetopsoccer.com/index.shtml Problem Solved, Thanks everyone Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! I'm having a really bizarre problem on my site here http://www.onlykitchens-almunecar.co...signvisit.html On this particular page I have a form that is working fine in firefox but the page won't load in IE only from today and I don't think I have changed anything The form is working fine in firefox and posting ok and returning errors as i am using this form validation script Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

The weird thing is if i take this code out it loads in IE and when I put it back in it don't. Its been working fine in IE with it in up until today. I need this validation script, and as i said its been working in IE for weeks with it in in. So I suppose what I am trying to get to the bottom of is why it is working in firefox but not in IE? If anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it! Well, it seemes like it all messes up right now... And I'm going crazy. Take a look at this example page: http://www.stianbl.co.cc/Test2/teknisk_TEST1.html Here, everything should work, since the code is the same I used for this page: http://www.stianbl.co.cc/Test2/teamet.html The problem is: 1. I cant get the hover effect to work on the 3 "pages", or fact-sheets, that should be clickable to dll the .doc file. But its the same way I did on the site "teamet", and it works there. 2.I cant position the header anymore. As it is now, opera reads it as I want it (the header, and navigation part), but IE hides it... Any help would be much appreaciated! I'd like to preface this with a note that, although I'm a programmer, my web technologies knowledge is pretty much non-existent, so I hope I'm just doing something silly here. I am setting up photo galleries on my and my wife's web sites using a flash based photo gallery called FotoPlayer. This program has a "Site Creator" function that allows a header, footer, some basic extra pages to be added to it. I started by creating a simple header that consists of 3 png files. This is added in a file called header.inc, and is used by FotoPlayer to create the pages. Code: <div style="height: 60px;"> <a href="index.html"><img src="site/images/roz-title.png" alt="Home" align="left" border="0"></a> <a href="album.html"><img src="site/images/roz-cyrene.png" alt="Cyrene Gallery" align="right" border="0"></a> </div> <br> <div style="width: 100%;"> <img src="site/images/roz-bar.png" alt="Gradient" border="0" height="4" width="100%"> </div> This looks as I expect in FireFox and Chrome, but has several problems when viewed with IE6. The left and right pictures have the "not found" images and text over them, and the gradient bar does not stretch. The other problem I'm having is some extra scroll bars being added (again, only in IE6) when the page length is longer that the browser display height. If I disable running of scripts in IE6 these problems disappear so I assume this is caused by FotoPlayer not liking my simple code. However, I have looked at about 20 other sites (some way more complicated than mine) created with FotoPlayer and they all look good in IE6, so this leads me to suspect that I am at fault here. I posted this to the FotoPlayer Forum a couple of days ago, but there has not been any answers. I'm hoping someone here can take a quick look at the page and tell me what I might be doing wrong. This is the test page: http://roz-warren.net -Mike Now this is a strange one. If you visit my site via http://amatoc.com and then you visit it with http://www.amatoc.com You will notice that the site with www added is smaller than the one without! (Occurs using firefox) Anyone have an explanation for this? hi, I have a css popup window (a lightbox) for videos, opened by javascript. If I want to close it, I've to select the white overlay on the background. On Windows, everything works very well in Firefox, IE and Safari. On Mac, I can't use the flash player controls because when I click on it, the video is closed (I guess because the overlay is selected even if it is behind the video). Isn't strange ? thanks I designed a site using HTML and CSS. The site works fine on all browsers except on the client's pc. He has IE 7. When I try it on my computer using the same browser IE7 it works fine. I told him to try the site on FFox and it worked ok. He wants the site to run on his pc using IE. I tried asking him to clear all cookies... doenst work. Any ideas want can be the problem? THANKS! Hi, I'm trying to make some changes to the basic design of my site, but when I add Adsense it's doing something strange. In IE7 it's fine, but in FF it displays with incorrect colors and the size is chopped from 468x60 to about 230x60. I can't explain it, because on the other pages I've made the changes everything is fine. ***************************************** Problem seems corrected now. Have no idea how it persisted for 36hrs, but it's fine now (shaking head). ***************************************** Thanks, Dave H I am working on a new site layout, and for some reason in IE6/IE7 if you go directly to the webpage I am working on, it doesn't load correctly (won't load my background gradient, and doesn't format the site properly) when I try to reload the page, I get the same problem. if I go to any site (with css, without css, etc) and then go to my page it loads properly. the source code is the same when it loads properly and when it doesn't so I have absolutely no idea how to fix this problem. Regards, David King hello all, I've recently ventured back into html and css after an extended break and was wondering if I could run this past someone: If you visit www.pcclinic-loanhead.co.uk, when you click on each of the menu links you will find that the page alignments don't seem to synch. What is strange is that the Home and Contact pages share the same alignment whilst Services and Epson share another. I've scanned the HTML and can't see any obvious differences.. there is also a main.css attached to each page. Can anyone with an expert eagle eye take a look at this and a) verify that you see the same problem and b)if possible, suggest a solution? Thanks very much in advance. Sam Hello all! I created a form the other day with a few fields in it: [LINK REMOVED]. If I click the textarea (Agency Notice. section), the cursor keeps jumping up to the subject. What the heck is going on here? lol Thanks in advance! |
