  • Aligned in Firefox but not in IE.

    I'm a complete newbie to webdesign have a wee problem.  Whilst designing a website I was testing totally out of firefox, website goes live and check it at
    work... not aligned.  Can anyone help?
    Have posted the code below.
    Huge thanks to anyone inadvance.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Div Alignment Problems.

    I have been building a website on my new MacBook. I have it
    just about done so I uploaded it to my web host to check out the
    appearance. It looks great on my Mac, but I checked it on my
    parents PC and it looked terrible. Being a new Mac user, I thought
    it was something going on with the operating systems, but I checked
    it on a Mac deskop and the alignment was still messed up. On the
    Mac desktop it is too far to the left and on the PC it is too far
    to the right. This is the link to the site:
    http://www.potomacsouth.com/Home.html
    You can click View>Source to see the code.
    I noticed if you drag the window to a different size the
    images behind the div move, but the div stays in place. Is there
    some kind of code or something that I can do to make it stay in the
    designated area on every computer regardless of settings?
    Thanks.

    Thats because you are using Absolutely Positioned
    <divs> so they stay...
    well.... Absolutely Positioned i.e., they WILL NOT move as
    you increase
    or decrease the width of the browser window.
    Solution:
    Open your page and go to code view
    FIND THIS PIECE OF CODE:
    <div align="center"><img src="
    http://www.potomacsouth.com/Site-Top.jpg"
    width="832" height="558" /><br />
    CHANGE IT TO:
    <div style="position: relative; width: 832px; margin: 0
    auto;">
    <img src="
    http://www.potomacsouth.com/Site-Top.jpg"
    width="832"
    height="558" /><br />
    NOW FIND YOUR ABSOLUTELY POSITIONED <DIV> CODE:
    <div id="apDiv2">
    <p class="style6"><u><span
    class="style8">Welcome</span></u><span
    class="style8">!</span></p>

  • Weird PHP or Div issue with FireFox?

    Not sure what's going on but a specific div code is appearing differently in Firefox and Chrome.
    http://i.imgur.com/LHkhEEM.png
    In FireFox, the <div> Sidebar appears OUTSIDE of the content div....
    In Chrome, the <div> Sidebar appears INSIDE of the content div...
    It appears fine on everyone's firefox except for mine. So is there a setting or something that I did to make this happen? or reverse? I did the firefox restart and the problem is still there. I'm losing my mind over here cause I can't edit the site.

    This is the HTML:
    <pre><nowiki>
    <div id="sidebar">
    <div class="<?php echo $tmq_sidebarwidth;?>">
    <?php dynamic_sidebar( $tmq_pagesidebar ); ?>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div class="clearboth"></div>
    </nowiki></pre>
    Everything is closed properly... And as mentioned, it works in everyone elses firefox. We all have the latest version - 23.0.1.
    Why would this appear fine on someone elses but not mine?

  • Floated DIV alignment woes

    I have created 9 left-floated DIV 3 a row with the last div of the first row taller than the first two, how can i make the first two div of the second row occupy the space on top of them instead of aligning to the bottom of the 3rd div in the first row.

    It's difficult to envision your layout, considering a float left on 9 divs should have the effect of aligning them next to one another, from left to right, like so: http://www.webmagi.com/Tests/Floating-Divs.htm
    Dreamweaver leaves much to be desired with regards to visually working with CSS based layouts. You might look into Stylizer 5 for this: http://www.stylizerapp.com/ (Great video intros)

  • RH7 Search pane text alignment in Firefox

    When I do a search in a RH7 webhelp guide in Firefox 3.0.2,
    all the returned topic names touch the left-hand edge of the search
    pane. In IE7 there is a one-pixel space before the text, as you'd
    expect in any windows app.
    Any ideas how to fix this for Firefox?

  • DIV Alignment Problems

    Div problems...I need to get more experienced with working
    with Divs cause I always seem to run into trouble...
    I am using an Accordion Magic plugin from project7 for my
    navigation. In one of the panels is a list menu drop down search
    form. When this one panel opens, the main content table shifts
    slightly to the right. All other panels work fine.
    I am sure that this is something to do with the Div or the
    list/menu form. I tried removing the menu leaving only a single
    link and the panel was fine. I have tried several CSS styling
    changes to no avail. I have done lots of trial and error with
    padding, margins and width % settings.
    The page can be viewed at:
    http://www.dvdflashbacks.com/williamsburghealth/index.php
    I also have attached the code here:

    Forgot...Here is the current CSS I am using for the form
    itself:
    #categorySearch2 {
    text-indent: 5px;
    width: 92%;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: 5px;
    And here is the CSS for the Panel Content:
    .p7ABcontent {
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #333333;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    background-image: url(images/p7ap_light_gray_bevel.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    text-indent: 10px;
    line-height: .75em;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    Thanks in advance for any help with this issue!

  • CSS and DIV alignment problem in IE6

    I am working on a new site based on a DW template. I have
    modified the right layout slightly for a flash header and also for
    a footer div. I am also using alternate CSS files to fix IE6
    display problems.
    The site looks correct in IE7 and Safari, but in IE6
    something is causing the right DIV to collapse. I have tried
    adjusting the padding and margins for the divs in the alternate css
    file several times with different results.
    Does anyone have suggestions on how to correct this that I
    might be overlooking.

  • Page Alignment in Firefox vs. IE

    Hi all,
    I'm having an issue with a site I'm working on. It seems to
    work perfectly in FF, but when you use IE the page seems to 'shift'
    to the right, but if you go full screen, it's centered (or if the
    browser window is not maximized you have to scroll to the right)
    I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm not sure where to look.
    I'm confused because it works fine in FF.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
    The URL is
    http://feedyoursoul.org

    How about changing it to this -
    <table width="100%" border="0" align="center"
    which I'm pretty sure is what you meant to say.

  • Horizontal center align multiple divs

    I have a container div (#div1), which contains 5 child divs (#div2, #div3, #div4, #div5, #div6) contained inside it.
    The code is something like this:
    <div id="div1">
    <div id="div2">Content2</div>
    <div id="div3">Content3</div>
    <div id="div4">Content4</div>
    <div id="div5">Content5</div>
    <div id="div6">Content6</div>
    </div>
    The Content2,3,4,5,6 are all of different length.
    I want to align the 5 child divs (#div2, #div3, #div4, #div5, #div6) horizontally in one row inside the container #div1, such that the vacant space inside #div1 gets uniformly distributed between the child divs and the child divs become uniformly aligned in the "center".
    The main code for all child divs is (id no is the only thing changed to 3,4,5,6 etc)
    #div2{
    width: 23%;
    position: relative;
    margin:0px auto;
    white-space:normal;
    *display: inline;
    _display: inline;
    *margin: 0 2px 0 2px;
    display:INLINE-block;
    float:none;
    The main code for container #div1 is
    #div1{
    margin:0px auto;
    width:98%;
    text-align:center;
    vertical-align:top;
    white-space:nowrap;
    position:relative;
    display:block;
    float:none;
    However the above code only centers the child div on localhost in IE and Chrome Browser. However on the remote production server it aligns all child divs in one row only in Chrome browser. In IE9, it aligns all the child divs in one single column below one another instead of in one row as shown when hosted on localhost.
    If we change float to left or right for child div, no centering takes place and instead all the child divs align to one side. If the display property of child div is changed to block, the centering fails even on localhost. If the display is changed to inline, the div width becomes 100% automatically and it occupies the complete with of container.
    Can some one advise on how to ensure uniform horizontal alignment of all child divs in one row on localhost as well as actual remote site server on IE (>=IE6, all other browsers also). I would prefer if display:inline-block is also avoided (display:block or inline is preferred) as it may not be supported in earlier browsers.

    when margin-left:2%, the suggested code is making the div before gap d dropoff to next row.
    Each descendent div will have an effective width of 18% + 2% = 20%.  There are 5 such divs.  20% x 5 = 100%.  Thus 100% of the space available in div1 will be filled - no more no less.  Bear in mind that the container div is set at a percent width as well, meaning that the resulting number may not produce even results when 18% and 2% are caclulated, i.e., there will be a rounding error.  Also bear in mind that the left-most div in my example will also have the margin applied.  You can eliminate that by a bit more CSS trickery (this applies the margin only to divs that are not the first child of div#div1) -
    <style type="text/css">
    #div1 div {
              width: 18%;
              margin-left:2%;
              float:left;
    #div1 div:first-child {
          margin-left:0;
    #div1 {
              margin:0px auto;
              width:95%;
              background-color:#CCC;
              overflow:hidden;
    </style>
    That method, however, will leave some variable gap to the right of the last div because of the rounding error and the fact that you are now only using up 18% + 20% + 20% +20% + 20% = 98% of the total space.
    Be aware that you will need to invoke Live mode to see this render properly in DW.
    This approach is simply a variant of the approach shown on css-tricks (which will also fail depending on the width of the containing element.  I suggest you NOT use a containing element that is percent sized and set a fixed width for it.  That will alow you to specify your interior spacing with no rounding error.

  • Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

    Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
    The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
    I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function.  Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
    The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
    I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
    I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Scrolling main content in an AP Div disappearing behind other AP Divs...?

    Newbie here, using CS3. No CSS power user (yet!)--general concepts, yes, but not much practice. Meanwhile two recent CS3 classes, several books, and a concerted search through online forums have failed to point me toward a fix for this prob. Any help greatly appreciated.
    Prob statement: In design view the core content of my pages disappears behind my footer and a secondary box, both AP Divs, so that I cannot see or edit anything beyond the bottom edge of the core-content AP Div. Overflow for that AP Div is set to scroll. The "obscured" content shows up only as an outlined shape extending past the footer etc. (and I can see some of the obscured text "through" the footer). Down arrow doesn't get me there: it just scoots down the outlined-but-obscured section. Doubleclicking highlights everything that's obscured so that I can see the relative shapes of the paragraphs, but doesn't expose the content. This seemed to start the first time I set the content div to scroll any overflow. I've changed it back/forth since; no joy.
    Rendered in IE or Firefox, all the pages with all their varying content lengths look fine. Scrollbar works great. It's just that in order to edit or compose further, I have to copy everything into Notepad or something, work there, and then paste it back into DW. Definitely non-optimum, though: can't format or add hyperlinks to the content.
    I'm using AP Divs, with scroll on in the "content" AP Div, because I couldn't figure out how to create a template where the footer would slide down the page in response to varying amounts of content. Started out with a table to handle all this, but an instructor recommended AP Divs so I went that way. I'd like to resolve this, rather than just go back to using tables while leaving this AP Div oddness a mystery.
    The footer is full of a Spry tabbed panels giving my legal/green/design statements and other small bits of info. The secondary box is an AP Div called "quotations" and is for friendly little bits of cute/clever nonsense at the bottom of each page.
    Tried a number of different settings so far and by now I've probably truly messed things up. Can anyone suggest a fix?
    The code for the template file seems long, so my apologies. However, the content type isn't allowed for attachments so I've pasted it in below.
    Much appreciation!

    I hadn't looked at the code at all. I was relying on the Dreamweaver GUI to correctly guide me to a desired outcome.
    I think that this is not a desirable approach to Dreamweaver, which will write perfect HTML if you let it, but it's too easy to click buttons and apply wizards without regard for the markup consequences, thereby producing a veritable pig's ear of a page.  If you are going to use DW professionally, you will have to become comfortable with code.  That doesn't mean you will have to spend 100% of your time in Code view, but you will definitely need to watch the code as it is formulated.
    I'm not starting from an engineering background.
    Neither did I.  But I did start with a sincere desire to become proficient, and to learn the technology.
    Murray, I get the idea of redoing my template without AP Divs, and will get into that. I don't know what "image swaps and links" mean, though. Would you mind teaching this newbie on this point?
    Not at all.  When you select the "NavBar" feature, you are placing elements and code on your page that were designed in the dark ages of HTML (frames).  Some of the features in the NavBar will only work in a framed page (the down image and the over while down).  The code is antique, invalid, and just wrong to be included.  My suggestion was to forego this and just place your button images on the page (in whatever container you need to use), and apply links to them so that they link to the desired pages.  Then apply swap image behaviors to them to create your rollover effects, one for each button.  The result will be modern code, that has none of the legacy stuff of the navbar, and that will work fine for you.  As you become more familiar with CSS you can investigate even better ways to do such menus (if you want a preview of this, Google "CSS Sprites).  The latter method is usually the only way I do menus anymore.  And even then, I use both text and graphics for accessability and SEO purposes.
    I will say that I like your attitude.  A determination to learn and improve is a winning approach.

  • Offset div / positioning problem in IE

    I've posted this problem in another thread but it was a sub question. Anyway, the problem I'm having is positioning a div over all other divs. I've managed to get it to work perfectly fine on Firefox and Chrome the way I wanted. The problem is usually when it comes to internet explorer. I just want the image or div placed on the right side of the site but changing the properties always has the same result, internet explorer places is far beyond where it's suppose to be. I'll add images, the code, and the live site below. Any help would be appreciated.

    I often find that differences between FF and IE often boil down to errors in closing page element tags... like not closing <div> or <script> tags. So first validate and fix any of those issues:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    a number of those 35 errors relate to closing tags.
    Then to review z-indexing (stacking order) from an older post:
    Maybe this will help clear up any misunderstanding you have about declared positioning as well as the use of z-indexing:
    The actual display of a positioned element will depend on whether or not it's parent element also has a declared position or not.
    z-indexing ONLY works with elements that have a declared position.
    Using a declared position like absolute tells and browser to take that element out of the natural flow and do something different with it. So you've got the browser parsing in order from top to bottom, then throwing in some elements that are completely out of the flow.... they can be very hard to control, because there are special rules that apply to elements with declared positions.
    The least understood of those rules is what I call the "Parent Rule". Giving an element a declared position like relative or absolute can have huge differences in how that element is actually displayed depending on whether or not the PARENT of that element also has a declared position.
    So a div which is position:absolute for example will display one way if it's parent also has a declared position and it will display in a completely different manner if it's parent does NOT have a declared position... to review:
    If a div's parent container DOES NOT also have a declared position, the child <div> will do 1 of 2 things.
    If position:relative, it will position as desired but space will be left as though that element was still in the natural flow. So you may move the 500 X 100 element down and over, but a 500 X 100 space will be left, as though it was still there.
    If position:absolute, child is positioned relative to browser window and that position does not change even if window contracts or expands.
    So be sure to give a declared position to both the parent and the child <div>.
    Neglecting to follow this rule is the main reason why the use of declared positioning fails.
    And just one more point, almost never is it necessary to use a declared position, and that method certainly should not be used for general page layout.
    But if and when a special situation comes up that you really do need z-indexing... then of course you will also have to use a declared position. Understanding the "Parent Rule" will make working with z-indexing and declared positions much easier and more successful.

  • Spry menu works in Firefox and Safari, but not Internet Explorer

    I designed my school website in CS4 and  CS5.  The left spry menu bar appears correctly in Firefox and Safari, but in Internet Explorer the gray background and buttons do not appear.  You can only see the text and when you scroll over the text, it disappears even though when you click on it, the link does appear.  The website is http://ml.chinookschools.org.  I created the site on a mac and I am hosting it on a mac mini server on my network at school.  I am a beginner with Dreamweaver and I'm not sure if someone can help me with this, but I would sure be appreciative for any help offered. Here is the source code for the main template page:

    You are not using the latest Spry files
    The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
    @media screen, projection
        ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
        display: inline;
        f\loat: left;
        background: #FFF;
    Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
    When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.
