CSS - Display Problem In Opera, Probably Related To Css-floats.
Hey,
I got a webpage that looks like it should in both IE 6.0 and firefox 2.0. Now i went testing it in opera and it has a problem with some div positions. Here is how it looks in firefox and IE: Internet explorer:http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8176/iexz2.jpg firefox:http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/5503/firefoxqc0.jpg And this is how it looks in Opera 9.10:http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5125/operauw7.jpg The buttons signout, new contact and contact list are shifted to the low. I use this code on every page do display the header with the buttons ( the red part is the div with the buttons in it. Code: <body> <div class="containingTitles"> <div class="titleNavDiv"> <b>Hello, stefan.</b> </div> <div class="titleContentDiv"> <form action="search_contact.php" name="search" id="search" method="get"> <div style="float: left; width: 35%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;"> <input type="text" style="width: 50%" name="sq" value="" id="sq"> <input type="submit" name="s" value="Search" id="s"> </div> </form> <form name="new_contact" id="new_contact" method="get" action="new_contact.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;"> <input type="submit" name="nc" value="New Contact" id="nc"> </div> </form> <form name="contact_list" id="contact_list" method="get" action="contact_list.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;"> <input type="submit" name="cl" value="Contact List" id="cl"> </div> </form> <form name="logout" id="logout" method="get" action="logout.php"> <div style="float: left; width: 20%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;"> <input type="submit" name="lo" id="lo" value="Sign out"> </div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="navigationDiv"> <div class="unselectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username1</a></div> <div class="unselectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username2</a></div> <div class="selectedContact"><a href="contact_info.php?contact_id=102">Username3</a></div> etc. </div> <div class="contentDiv"> ----- contents of the page ----- </div> </div> And belowis the css code i use to float the divs into position. And here you can see the division of the pages and which class belongs to which div: http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1503/layoutai3.jpg css Code: Original - css Code body{ margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; background: url(background.jpg) 22% 0; } .containingTitles{ float: left; width: 100%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; background-color: #4D3D4D; color: white; overflow: hidden; } .titleNavDiv{ float: left; width: 20%; margin: 0%; padding-left: 2%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 1%; padding-bottom: 1%; overflow: hidden; } .titleContentDiv{ float: left; width: 77%; margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 1%; padding-bottom: 1%; overflow: hidden; } .navigationDiv{ float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0; padding-left: 0%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; overflow: hidden; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D3D4D; } .contentDiv{ float: left; width: 76%; margin: 0; padding-left: 2%; padding-right: 0%; padding-top: 0%; padding-bottom: 0%; overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: #BFACBF; }
hope you can tell me why this happens. Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsHi everybody, i'm quite new to the whole css stuff, but i managed to write some code to my own satisfaction. The problem is that it is not properly presented in Opera 7.51, which i am using. Though it shows to my wishes in IE. the test version can be found at http://users.pandora.be/jef_patat/test/index.htm and the stylesheet at http://users.pandora.be/jef_patat/test/visualstyle2.css It is my intention to have four areas that can stretch in function of their content (the menu, news, validation and main content areas). This works fine in IE but in Opera I get some strange blank areas which i can not solve. I know my css is not perfect but i did the best i can. I would like to use another stylesheet for people with lower bandwiths, this stylesheet is found at http://users.pandora.be/jef_patat/test/visualstyle3.css With this stylesheet one can clearly view i mess up. It should give a simular result as the other stylesheet so i can use the same html code. The outer black border should stretch down the page and i would like some space underneat it as well. Anyone can help? Kind regards Jef Patat I have a positioning puzzle for you. It's as part of a web design assignment, so broad accessibility is not required. even working on IE is not required. YES! here is the problem, explained by means of an image. because a picture speaks a thousand words. so they say.

Everything is OK in Opera and IE but in firefox everything is wrong .. all the divs are almoust in the same place , one over another here is the link http://www.immo-land.ro/test/div-inline.html and below is the code which I wrote for every DIV Code: <div style="border: 1px solid #c5732a; width: 164px; height: 150px; padding: 95 0 0 0; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px; display: inline; background-image: url(../images/immo-land-apartamente-garsoniere.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat"> <a href="http://localhost/immoland/vanzare-apartamente.php" style="background: #C5732A; width: 100%;">Apartamente</a> <br> Text here </div> any ideea why is all that mess in firefox ? 10x in advance See ya all here is the site http://142.177.157.241:8080/bikers/ Well, I have some work to do about opera and IE since they are slow in the browsers making or the standards compliance. Even Opera8 doesn't suport my site and I think that was just released not too long ago. I think I'm going to be changing my browser of choice from Firefox to Netscape 8. I have the beta right now and it looks awesome and has all the functionality of Firefox I want plus it makes it easy to change between IE and netscape without actualy going to IE to see how my site looks. Two birds with one stone. I'm trying to get my show/hide script working in Opera 6 and having no luck. So I know I can set CSS properties with JavaScript in Opera 6 (I'm testing on Mac) as I've managed to make it work with the visibility property. However doing: Code: document.getElementById(el).style.display = 'block'; does nothing... if I do an alert on the display setting of the element it always says undefined. I've also tried doing a className switch, but doing this : Code: <div id="el" class="hidden">...</div> alert(document.getElementById(el).className); Also gives me a 'undefined' message. Opera 6 is the only thing that's playing up on me at the moment so any help would be greatly appreciated. -D OK, So I have put together what I thought was a reasonably basic xhtml page outline. I'm using a Win2k box. I checked it in Opera 7 and IE6 and it looks fine (more or less). I've also validated the xhtml and css codes. However, when I look at the page in Netscape 7.1 or Firefox, the menu kind of hangs a bit in limbo. Otherwise the rest of the page render's fine. I've included my code below. Does anyone have any suggestions since it's likely that if it doesn't work in Netscape/Firefox, it won't work in many other browsers either. Thanks! Shawn PS I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Firefox/Netscape, but likely my code URL: http://www.raisetheratesottawa.org/xhtml/ ===== CSS ===== HTML { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } BODY { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FF99CC; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 0px } #upper { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding: 0px; border: 5px solid #FFFFFF; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px } /* Horizontal nav */ #menu { width:700px; margin:0px auto; padding: 0; } #menu ul { border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; clear: left; } #menu ul li { display: block; float: left; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #menu ul li a { background: #000000; width: 175px; /* was 'height: 2em; */ height: 24px; padding: 0; /* was 'margin: 0 0 10px 0; ' this affects the margin between upper menus*/ margin: 0 0 0 0; color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none; display: block; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; /* was 'line-height: 2em; */ line-height: 24px; /* was 'font-size: x-small; ' */ font-size: 10px; font-size: 10px; /* was 'FONT: 8px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;*/ } #menu ul li#one { width: 46px; } #menu ul li#two a { width: 154px; } #menu ul li#three a { width: 105px; } #menu ul li#four a { width: 85px; } #menu ul li#five a { width: 56px; } #menu ul li#six a { width: 57px; } #menu ul li#seven { width: 147px; } #menu ul li a:hover { color: #000000; background: #FF0000; } #menu a:active { background: #c60; color: #fff; } #content { width:700px; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; padding:0px; border:5px solid #FFFFFF; background: url(/xhtml/graph/rtr-logo-bk.gif) #FF99CC; } ====== XHTML ====== <!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"> <head> <title>Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="graph/rtrcss2.css" type="text/css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="No Index" /> <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2004" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" /> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <link rel="help" href="about.php" title="Site info." /> <meta name="Rating" content="General" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="2 Days" /> <meta name="doc-class" content="Living Document" /> </head> <body> <div id="upper"> <div id="header"> <img src="graph/top-right2.jpg" width="700" height="78" alt="" /> </div> <div id="menu"><ul> <li id="one"> </li> <li id="two"><a href="link1.php" title="Link 1.">Link 1</a></li> <li id="three"><a href="link2.php" title="Link 2.">Link 2</a></li> <li id="four"><a href="link3.php" title="Link 3.">Link 3</a></li> <li id="five"><a href="link4.php" title="Link 4.">Link 4</a></li> <li id="six"><a href="link5.php" title="Link 5.">Link 5</a></li> <li id="seven"> </li> </ul></div> </div> <div id="content"> <p>Here is some text</p> <p>Here is some more text </p> </div> </body> </html> I'm including some images within a UL. I've coded them in there to float. IE displays the list as I want but NN and Opera won't play along. In fact they both "get it wrong" in different ways. What am I doing wrong? (as you can see it is for a course and it is important to me to get it right not just good enough). Here's the address. The CSS coding is on the actual page for easy viewing. link ***SOLVED**** A mod can delete this if you like I have a problem in IE when dynamically adding elements through the DOM, the problem is basically: if i add a element(a div btw), with document.createElement and use setAttribute("class", "my_CSS_classname") to apply styling, the styling doesnt get applied when viewing it in IE6 (it works fine in firefox). Does IE force you to style dynamic elements though the .style proberty or wah? Hi Guys, I am having a problem with floats. Here is the code I am using: Code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <div style="width:900px; border: 1px black solid; float:left;"> <div style="width:400px; height:100px; border: 1px black solid; float:left; display:inline; background-color:blue;"></div> <div style="width:400px; height:300px; border: 1px black solid; float:left; display:block; background-color:green;"></div> <div style="width:400px; height:100px; border: 1px black solid; float:left;display:inline; background-color:red;"></div> </div> </body> </html> I am trying to get the red box to appear right under the blue box. I don't want to use a 2 column layout. Is this possible? Thanks! Elad I've got two columns set-up using floats. They work fine in Firefox, Opera and Konqueror on my machine, but a friend with Windows informs me that it doesn't work properly in Internet Explorer. The code is as follows: Code: div.get_content_voc_left { width: 50%; float: left; clear: both; } div.get_content_voc_right { width: 50%; float: right; clear: none; } The results in IE can be seen in this screenshot and this screenshot. Those with IE can have a look at a live copy of the HTML here and the CSS here. Any help is appreciated I'm trying to construct a simple navigation bar that looks like the attached image. It's a simple bar with rounded corners on the ends. If I where going to use tables, I would make one row with three cells. But I hear that these days, tables for positioning are out... I'm thinking two sets of DIVs where one contained the left end, and one the right. What's confusing me is how to get the images to line up right rather than looking "stacked". I imagine it has to do with the "float" attribute, but I can't seem to find the combination that does what I need. Code: <div> <div> Nav | Bar | Content </div> </div> As well, how to make the full height of the end images show? My experiments seem to truncate the image height at the height of the text. Pointers? Thanks... Hey, I use floats in my page to position some div's. The page validates for both css and html-strict. When i run the code below in firefox, everything works fine. When i run it in Internet explorer, it does not. It looks messed up then. PHP Code: echo '<form name="contact_action" id="contact_action" method="post" action="process/contact_action.php?act=del">'; while($contact = mysql_fetch_array($query_result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){ echo '<div style="float: left; width: 25%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;">'; echo '<input type="checkbox" name="selected_contacts[]" value="'.$contact['contact_id'].'"> '; echo $contact['first_name'] . ' ' . $contact['last_name']; echo '</div>'; echo '<div style="float: left; width: 75%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;">'; echo '<a href="contact_info.php?contact_id='.$contact["contact_id"].'&act=edi">view</a>'; echo '<a href="process/contact_action.php?contact_id='.$contact["contact_id"].'&act=edi">edit</a>'; echo '<a href="process/contact_action.php?contact_id='.$contact["contact_id"].'&act=del">delete</a>'; echo '</div>'; } echo '<div style="float: left; width: 100%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;">'; echo '<br>'; echo '<input type="submit" name="delete_selected" id="delete_selected" value="Delete Selected">'; echo '<br><br>'; echo 'Total '.$nr_of_rows.' Contacts'; echo '</div>'; echo '</form>'; hope you can help me. thanks in advance Well I am having serious problems with CSS floats. I created a design in Photoshop, sliced it and imported everything in Dreamweaver. So far, so good. However when you slice with Photoshop, you get a CSS with "position: absolute", which I am trying to avoid. However I managed to get the header partially correctly floated, but for some reason, it doesn't display correctly in Firefox. Not to mention Internet Explorer 8, which shows (empty) spaces everywhere (tried padding/margin 0px, but didn't do anything). Can someone take a quick peek and see what I am doing wrong here? And if possible correct the errors or tell me what I am doing wrong? Cause I am really hitting a brick wall at the moment. Here is the page: link Thanks in advance. //edit Okay I fixed the empty space problem in IE, I seem to have forgotten to set the doctype up correctly; my bad. But I am still having a problem with the floats. I know this is probably something very simple I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to get this page to display corrrectly in IE. The portion I'm talking about is the footer div: although the CSS clears both, in Firefox I see the footer correctly but in IE there is some encroachment of the footer background color on the right side of the screen. URL is: http://www.readaloudproject.org/about/ Please disregard all of the other aspects of the page... this is very much still under construction and a lot more styling needs to be done. But this footer is driving me crazy because I copied working code from other sites that is now no longer working. Help! Thanks! Hello, not sure I know how to explain this. I have a page that I want to divide in two parts. To do so I am using floats. The problem is that the content in one div is not the same as the content in the other div and therefore the height of the two floated div is different from one another. However, I want that the div's have a border that seperates them and I would like this border to be from top to bottom of the containing div regardless of which of the two floated div is the highest. I could do this with javascript but I would like to know if there is some pure html/css option. Here is my example; Code: <html> <head> <style> .main { margin: 0px auto; width: 800px; border: 2px solid red; } .wrap:after{ content: "."; display: block; position:relative; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .wrap{ display: inline-block; } /* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .wrap{height: 1%;} div.wrap{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ .left { float: left; width: 100px; } .right { float: left; width: 680px; border: 10px solid blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="left">My left div has more.<br/>more..<br /><br />more...<br /><br /><br />lines then the right one</div> <div class="right">My Right div has only one line but need border till down there ...</div> </div> </div> </body> </html> As you can see in the example the border of the right div does not go down till the bottom border of the main div. So... I've got a page I'm working on where I can't seem to get to floats to clear without compromising the layout of the divs that are floating. http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/ http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/style.css If I try the clear:after class fix, it doesn't work. If I try the overflow: hidden fix, it looks fine until the page is resized - and the overflowing content is hidden. What I want is for the right and left div is to stretch to the bottom of the page regardless of the page height, and clear to the div they are floating in. Any suggestions? Let me know if I need to provide better examples or more info, as I'm stumped on this one and feel like I've been doing this for far too long. I have floating items inside of floating items. The problem is I cannot clear my floating items in the middle column because that ruins the other columns. How can I clear floats in the middle column? Do you have any better ideas to make my layout work? I have attached in image of how the layout should work.

But, these 2 divs have to unordered lists in them. I know my CSS is pretty average if not worse. My layout looks fine except for when I add 2 divs.. I have the float:left with %50 widths.. Screen shot of how my layout looks. img209.imageshack.us/img209/2913/idear.gif I did not add any clear tags to my css.. which I think might be what's causing the issue. Side note: In IE compatibility view the top of the page has a gap and so does the right of the page.. the logo and footer are both 100% width and the top div has a -negative margin to close the gap, it looks fine without compatibility view, and fine in firefox, and chrome. XHTML passed validation and so did CSS. This is before even messing with the columns. I didn't do anything with the unordered lists. Maybe i should ask how to correctly make my layout first.. Because what I've been doing is just adding new divs where I see fit, and then going back to edit the CSS till it works. Thanks for helping me out! BTW: what book would you recommend me getting.. I understand basics of CSS and I think I'm good with XHTML, I just need to get a better definition of CSS than w3schools has to offer. Thanks again. Hi, have a weblog, powered by wordpress, styled with css. it looks all right in firefox & IE, but i'm not too happy with the look in opera, as the content has a large blank gap between the first post and the rest of the content. to view my site: http://www.jarra.nl/ CSS: http://www.jarra.nl/css/weblog.css and this is a screenshot: http://www.jarra.nl/_TEST/opera.gif I can't find out what's causing it, and don't have an idea how to solve it, any help is appreciated a lot.. thanx, jarra |
