CSS Layout is screwed up in Firefox

I used a no-tables approach to this site that I designed, but
something is terribly wrong when I try to view it in Firefox. Could
someone please give me some tips on how to fix my problem(s)?
Thanks so much!! The site is:
http://www.hdumc.org

I've just had a look using Safari in Mac. My general rule of
thumb is that if there are layout problems showing in either Safari
or Firefox it means there's almost certainly a problem in the code
somewhere - both are very good browsers in terms of standards and
while they each have their own idiosyncracies, if they show a
layout problem, it's more likely than not to be a problem with your
code.
So, what I'm seeing is that your left-hand menu is outside of
the margins of the content box. Is that what you're talking about?
Looking quickly at your code I can see a table for layout as
well as lots of style elements which probably should be in your
CSS. I'm not exactly sure where the problem might be, but it would
be a good start to separate your style from your markup if you can.
In terms of fixing things at least for now, have you tried
running any of the pages through a validator? Chances are they will
pick up any major problems:
http://validator.w3.org/ (for
your HTML)
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
(for your CSS)
Hope that's of some help. Oh - and if you really want to get
into standards compliant, tables-free design I highly recommend
Jeffrey Zeldman's book 'Designing with Web Standards' - it's a
great read and an incredibly helpful resource.

    I've created a css layout using divs, it works fine in IE,
    but in firefox, the container div doesn't stretch far enough to
    contain all the content.

  • Another CSS layout question

    Hi!
    I have finally ditched tables and I'm now doing my first div-based css layout. At times I still feel totally lost like in this example. I can't seem to get the page subtitle ("Etusivu") to move down from the top of the div it is in. I tried different kinds of paddings and margins but either Firefox or IE always screws it up, even if I get it to work in the other browser. If anyone can take a look, I appreciate it a lot!

    Hi
    As I am getting different layout (depending on browser), and you are missing much of the  text mark-up (h1, h2, h3, p, etc.), which also changes the display, try replacing your section of the code with the one below, and let me know if this is somewhere near what you wish..
    <div id="tekstiotsikko"><h2></h2></div>
      <div id="iso_alue"><h2>ETUSIVU</h2><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus nec risus at lorem posuere pellentesque. Sed a tellus lorem. Nullam justo mauris, ultrices sed interdum in, egestas eu leo. Duis interdum elementum gravida. Curabitur eu rutrum nibh. Maecenas molestie turpis ac leo tristique nec pellentesque felis mattis. Etiam placerat laoreet tortor, ac dignissim magna tempor ac. Mauris iaculis vestibulum pellentesque. Proin eu scelerisque ipsum. Sed tincidunt nibh sed ipsum pulvinar iaculis.

  • Still practicing my CSS layout, and IE 7 issues.

    I've revamped my site, and I've been practicing with the last 4 sites or so with mostly CSS layout....definitely a work in progress. My site is the first I've tried with overlapping images and the whole z-index thing. Everything looks great, for the most part. My issue is ALWAYS ie7, and then my issue is monitors with lower screen resolution. My sticky notes are showing up at the top of the page in IE7, looks great in 8. Every other browser seems to look great as well, as long as the resolution of the monitor is higher. I'm hoping someone can help me with positioning my sticky notes, so they don't shove my flash out to the right side of the page. Here's the URL www.theresasheridan.com.
    Another site with another IE 7 issue....www.viewcamera.com. Here the issue is that the image in the maincontent div is shoved way down the page. I want to keep my width at 450 px so that I can have my side borders. Anyone have any other suggestions for me pretty please?
    Last IE 7 issue (thanks so much), www.losvaquerosridingclub.org. The background color is white under the spry menu, but again...only in IE7.
    Thank you!!

    You are absolutely right about the validator.  Some of it is way beyond me too!
    However, it seems to indicate that you have some tag confusion going on there, usually that's about missing a closing element.  Fixing that is a good thing because it can screw your layout.  Another thing the validator points out is the omission of a few of your alt="" text.  That won't muck about with any layout issues but is worth adding if you have the time or inclination.  I'm afraid I don't have time to look right now but if I get the chance I'll have a go later.
    With your sticky notes, it struck me that you could use absolute positioning.  The trick there is to place those elements in to a containing element, set that element to position: relative and then absolutely position the sticky notes using px dimensions where you want them in the page.  At the moment, you are using floats on those two parts of the page but again, I haven't quite got the time to look in detail now.
    With the float drop thing and width, you would do well to Google "Box Model CSS" or something similar.  Width is not just the content width but also takes into account margin, border and padding.  When you add those up, the width may be too big for the containing element  width which will cause the content to "drop" or to be forced into a space that can accommodate it.  The other snag with the Box Model is that different Browsers handle it differently.  Sometimes what you need to do to create space in the page is to put padding on the nested element which constrains it's content without affecting the width of the container.
    I'm a bit of a novice myself at this and it sounds a lot to get your head around.  However there is a a logic to it and once you crack it, it gets easier.
    One other tip is to use FireFox browser and get the Firbug plug-in.  That lets you view the page in the browser and you can tweak your CSS "live" to get an idea of how things work together.  Once you have what you want you then turn to DW to make your edits.
    I hope that helps rather than misleads!  As I say, I'll try to look later on but in the mean time, an expert might drop by.
    And while I'm here, my feeling is that you might have done better to put each of your queries in different threads.  Sometimes, to see several questions in one hit is a bit daunting and I think people here tend to leave the longer questions a bit until they have time.

    Well, you're not using position:absolute, so you've got a big thumbs up from a bunch of us for that.
    Is there any chance you could post a link to this page on your server? It's much easier to troubleshoot from a browser than it is to rebuild the page from code fragments.
    If you haven't gone live with the page yet, create a folder called TEST in your site and save copies of the page and css there. Upload TEST and post a link to it here. Once the problem is found/fixed, delete TEST from the server.
    You can also attempt to use Firefox or Chrome to find your issue by right clicking > Inspect Element. All CSS that affects a given element will be displayed with file name and line numbers there.

  • CSS layout not rendering correctly in IE

    Hello, I have two websites and both of them are having issues with rendering the layout properly in IE. FireFox and Safari are fine.
    Both sites are built with CSS, DreamWeaver CS5.I was told that I might have to add some Java script for it to work. Is this true?
    The sites: www.rifp-engineeredwood.com, and www.customizedhair.net/services.html
    Thank you!

    First off, you might like to check your page in a validator?
    I saw this in your code:
    <h1>Design Freedom – Universal Choice<h1/>
    It's wrong and it might cause some layout anomolies. It should be:
    <h1>Design Freedom – Universal Choice</h1>
    I don't think it's the only place it's happening.
    I only looked at the first site.

  • CSS Layout in DW CS 3

    I'm kinda wondering why the id's are preceded with a class if
    you open any of the premade CSS layouts in DW CS3.
    example:
    Two Columns, all widths in percent, with right sidebar header
    and footer.
    CSS:
    body {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background: #666666;
    margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and
    padding of the body element to account for differing browser
    defaults */
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5*
    browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the
    #container selector */
    color: #000000;
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #container {
    width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the
    browser width */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a
    width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center
    on the body element. */
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #header {
    background: #DDDDDD;
    padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment
    of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is
    used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the
    padding. */
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #header h1 {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the
    #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space
    between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not
    necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
    padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will
    allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
    /* Tips for sidebar1:
    1. since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use
    padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the width for standards
    compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
    2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within
    it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those
    elements as seen in the ".twoColLiqRtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
    3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element
    is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with
    percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you
    may choose to change to pixel sized columns.
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #sidebar1 {
    float: right; /* since this element is floated, a width must
    be given */
    width: 24%;
    background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be
    displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no
    further */
    padding-top: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual
    space within this div */
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColLiqRtHdr #sidebar1 p {
    margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be
    given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
    margin-right: 10px;
    /* Tips for mainContent:
    1. the space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created
    with the right margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much
    content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain.
    You can remove this right margin if you want the #mainContent div's
    text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1
    ends.
    2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600
    resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 430px or
    smaller (this includes images).
    3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the
    zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This
    avoids several IE-specific bugs.
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #mainContent {
    margin: 0 26% 0 10px; /* the left margin should mirror the
    margin on the header and footer for proper alignment. */
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #footer {
    padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment
    of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
    background:#DDDDDD;
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #footer p {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in
    the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space
    between divs */
    padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create
    space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin
    collapse issue */
    /* Miscellaneous classes for reuse */
    .fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right
    in your page. The floated element must precede the element it
    should be next to on the page. */
    float: right;
    margin-left: 8px;
    .fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left
    in your page. The floated element must precede the element it
    should be next to on the page. */
    float: left;
    margin-right: 8px;
    .clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or
    break element and should be the final element before the close of a
    container that should fully contain a float */
    clear:both;
    height:0;
    font-size: 1px;
    line-height: 0px;
    take a look at this
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #container {
    width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the
    browser width */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a
    width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center
    on the body element. */
    how do you interpret
    .twoColLiqRtHdr #container?
    in the code, .twoColLiqRtHdr is a class for the <body>
    tag only.
    So i guess I just need some enlightenment on how this CSS
    works, maybe I'm used to just defining the ID of <div> tags
    (ex: #wrapper {}).
    Is this use for inline styles only?
    what's the advantage of using this type of styles?
    I hope someone can take a look at this, thank you in advance!
    :)

    Yeah.... I can't really see a use for class here at all. But
    that's me
    (and now you!)....

  • Looking for a two-column CSS layout

    I am looking for a two-column CSS layout that is centered
    with blank space
    on the sides, so the layout does not expand across the entire
    screen, but
    instead uses a portion of it (such as 75%). The left column
    would be for
    navigation and I haven't decided if I want it to be liquid or
    fixed, but the
    right column for content would be liquid. There would also be
    a heading div
    and navigation div across the top and a footer across the
    bottom.
    While looking for sample sites I keep finding ones that use
    three columns,
    and I'm worried that if I remove the third column that the
    layout will break
    at some point, even if I don't see it in my test browsers.
    I'm also
    discovering that some of the sample pages out there don't
    respond well when
    I resize the browser window. The columns don't have a minimum
    width or they
    stack on top of each other at some point.
    There are so many different techniques to use when designing
    a layout with
    CSS, some better than others, that I thought maybe some
    people here may
    already know what's tried and true and what should be
    avoided. Are any
    layouts robust enough to allow a third column to be added at
    a future date
    if needed? I also like the idea of putting the content div
    first in the
    code, to improve search engine indexing and also to aid those
    who may be
    using a screen reader, but if that feature makes the coding
    much more
    complex then I could see why I might avoid it for now.

    Sorry Nancy, I didn't see your post for some reason. At least
    we agree (o:

  • Design view of CSS layout is innacurate

    Hello all -
    I'm beginning to redraft my company's hompage using a full
    CSS layout instead of our current nested table layout. Since I need
    to ensure that other staff members can edit pages freely - and I'm
    the only person comfortable doing straight code - it's important
    that the design view is as accurate as possible.
    When editing in Dreamweaver 8, my three column layout (a left
    table of contents, a center content column, and an additional
    content right column) breaks so that the table of contents
    dissapears. Some people have spoken with have suggested that my
    problem might be the negative margins I'm using to position the
    floated columns that form the meat of the page.
    You can view the page here:
    http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/home_redraft.html
    The CSS is here:
    http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/style_redraft.css
    In addition, the header navbar also appears strangely. In
    Design View, two word titles (ie. "Our Programs") break on to two
    separate lines, instead of staying in one line as they do in
    browsers I've tested.
    The frustrating thing about this is that my design seems to
    work in most browsers - but without a somewhat accurate
    representation in Dreamweaver, I won't be able to sell the idea of
    a standards-based revamp to other staff here.
    Any ideas?
    Matt

    Your CSS is not tight enough to get accurate columns. You
    shouldn't try to
    define the columns with the body tag. For a purely CSS site,
    you really find
    out why the code is called 'cascading' styles. They cascade
    all right. We've
    just finished wrestling with a similar re-design with CSS and
    the order of
    how tags and files come into play is very important.
    We have defined the body tag with background color, 0 margins
    and font
    family, color and size only. Header/footer and columns are
    defined by ID.
    The three "content" columns are within a page container,
    header and footer
    outside the page container. How these elements are placed is
    important, as
    they cascade.
    We use 3 linked main css files, 1) Page Layout (3 or 4
    different options) 2)
    Page presentation (all text styles) 3) Page menu styles (only
    menu styles).
    They are in that order, as the only body tag is in Page
    Layout.
    If a page has a watermarked background we import the code
    just for the
    watermark.
    This is not true for the home page, but all other pages in
    the site.

    I hope this helps.

  • CSS Layout problems

    I should start this by saying I am very new to CSS layouts,
    and am self taught, so I'm probably doing something very wrong. So
    far I've stuck to really simple layouts and had no problems...but
    they were very simple layouts.
    With the site I'm doing at the moment I have placed other
    div's inside a content div, so that I can have left and right hand
    content within the content div. But the left and right div's are
    not pushing the content div down with their content, and I'm not
    sure what else to try to get it to work.
    I've tried setting the height of the content div to auto or
    inherit but that doesn't work.
    As you can see on the main page of the site I'm using a
    background image in the content cell.
    http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/index.html
    And if you look at the details page you can see what I am
    trying to describe. The content div not pushing down with the left
    and right content div’s contents means the background image
    is just a few pixels deep under the nav div.
    http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/details.html
    And my pathetic CSS/stylesheet is here:
    http://members.westnet.com.au/zelky/surfschoolnew/mainstyle.css
    Thanks in advance and hopefully my mess isn’t’ to
    hard to look at. As I said I'm a bit lost so hopefully I'm not
    going to confuse anyone with my "home made" skills.

    When you 'float' elements on your page you effectively remove
    them from
    the normal flow of the document, therfore the 'content'
    <div> thinks
    nothing is inside it. You need to help it by 'clearing' the
    floats.
    There are various methods for clearing floats.
    Insert a 'clearing' <br> (shown below) into your pages
    code directly
    AFTER the closing 'right' container tag and BEFORE the
    closing 'content'
    container tag.
    </div><!-- end 'right' -->
    <br style="clear: both;" />
    </div><!-- end 'content' -->

  • CSS Layout Nightmare!

    OK, I've recently decided to convert from table based layout to div layouts using CSS. I'm pretty proud of the outcome and found it a nice approach to designing. HOWEVER, when i click to edit pages in contribute, it strips out all of the css outline visual aids (like you see in wysiwig editors like Dreamweaver). This is going to be a major problem for my client and wysiwig style editing. Does anybody know how i can get contribute to display this in edit mode and also the best option for my client to select divs in order to copy and paste content.  This would be pretty easy in table based layout as contribute lets you select a table and copy and paste it. Ideal way for my client to copy and paste additional news items  same format. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Not.

  • Css layout problems - css and tables

    Hi guys,
    Well as some of you suggested months ago, I've been trying to
    learn to layout with CSS... It's actually getting a bit rewarding
    now as I start to figure a few things out but there's still plenty
    of questions!!!
    If anyone can take a look at what I'm working on at the
    moment and give me some help I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it!!
    My main trouble (I think) is working with a drop-down menu
    system that I found on the web and I'm dying to use it because it's
    perfect for this design. It's layed out using a table so I'm trying
    to incorporate that...
    Click
    [url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/mockup2.jpg]here[/url]
    for a picture of what i'm trying to get this page to look like and
    [url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/example1.html]here[/url]
    to see how far I've got. You can download the stylesheet from
    [url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/example1.css]here[/url].
    Here's what I need to know:
    1. I'm trying to push the table down so it looks better lined
    up with the logo but when I tell it to be further from the top, it
    doesn't seem to move. Any ideas on why?
    2. As you can see, I've inserted some blank space into the
    middle of the menu so that the logo doesn't cover any of the menu
    items. I can't seem to get the same 1px black border on this
    section.
    I assume this is because the border on the other parts is a
    layer/div border? Will I have to somehow put a div in there so as
    to create the same border effect?
    3. I'd really like to keep the header and footer visible at
    all times, even if there's lots of content to scroll through. I
    found this:
    http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/basics2.html#Top
    but when I tried to implement this on my page, it all went haywire!
    Is this going to be a possibility?
    4. I guess other than that, have I completely stuffed this
    up!? I don't think I have but it's worth asking I guess!
    THANKS IN ADVANCE! I'm really loving using css layout rather
    than tables - it's soooo much more versatile. I just need to get
    past some obstacles I think!
    Cheers
    Neil

  • CSS layout box model?

    Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver cs4. I downloaded a diablo 3
    fansite kit from blizzard, and was looking at their code &
    style sheets and such for reference while learning to use DIV to
    layout new websites. I pretty much have the same DIV box going for
    all the content in the middle. But when i click on their DIV box,
    it shows margin on the left and the right, and while in design
    view, automatically centers their DIV box.
    I created a page, setup a div box 1000px wide, centered it,
    and it does not give me a preview of it centered while in design
    view, nor does it show me the margins & padding (displays
    diagonal white transparant stripes where the padding & margins
    goes). i made sure i clicked the "CSS Layout Box Model" in the
    visual aid menu, but it does not want to work on my page, yet i can
    turn it on and off on the fan site index page. How do i make it
    work on my page?
    Thx

    Which page? Can we see the other one too?

  • CSS layout

    Hi
    A couple of embarrassingly basic questions but would
    appreciate help:
    1. I'm using a CSS layout template and need to alter the
    position of a div border (to coincide with another border). How do
    you physically do this? Can't seem to "drag and drop" the border
    2. I've aligned a Heading to the "left" but when I display it
    on the browser it either stays to the left or moves to the center
    of the div. depending on the size of my window. How do you prevent
    this?
    3. Currently my html and css codes are in 2 different
    (linked) documents. When I publish to the web do I simply load both
    files or do I need to copy and paste the css coding into my html
    document?
    Thanks once again

    Posting our code would be helpful

    > Can't

    I'm not sure what you're asking here ... positioning a
    border? the div
    border is always, well, on the perimeter of the div. Do you
    want to move one
    edge of the div over 10 px? If so (and assuming its the left
    border...) ,
    try subtracting 10 px from the div width and giving the div a
    margin-left of
    10px. As for "drag and drop," what are we dragging? What are
    we dropping?

    can we see the code here? It sounds to me like you're running
    into problems
    with an element being set to 500px wide and then a browser
    window that is
    400px wide. A wide img maybe? I'm only guessing at things
    without seeing th
    ecode though

    Yep. Just make sure they stay relative to each other in the
    same way. In
    other words, if both your htm file and css file are in the
    same folder on
    your local machinge then they must remain in the same folder
    on your server.
    If your css is in a subfolder called "css" then you need to
    make sure your
    css file is in a similar subfolder on the server

  • Creating from scratch, a css layout for my website

    I am building a website from scratch and I would like to use CSS.  I am conceptualizing the design, however, I am struggling with designing it and working with the div tags.  I would like to have two sidebars, one on each side, and for them to be tri-colored, which means I have to create three small boxes and align them closely together, each a different color (the colors are part of the theme to my website). Of course the links on the sidebars would be white, and then change colors when hovered over or clicked on.  I would like to have a header and a footer, with the header containing my logo and if and only if I can get real fancy; a scrolling message.  My footer would contain additional links such as 'additional links', and 'contact us' and all the necessary copywrite info.  Please let me know, if first, my conception of this layout makes sense, and if so, what tutorial you could recommend for me to view that would assist in my web site development.
    Thank you, all you great tech minds out there!

    I'm with Murray.  I don't think you should concern yourself with HTML5 and CSS3 yet. 
    Stick with XHTML and CSS2.  When I was learning to work with CSS positioning, it was immensely helpful to use a pre-built layout.   And I learned a great deal from looking at source code.
    Look at the DW Starter pages described below:
         Dreamweaver CSS Templates for beginners

    If you have some money to spend, Project Seven has some excellent CSS Templates.  If you plan to do more projects, CSS Layout Magic is a nice extension for prototyping inside DW.
