Text browser movement CSS

Hello.
I'm currently teching myself CSS and having one or two
problems.
The main one is that the text positions itself in different
places for different browsers.
It's in a <div> tag to give me better control. When I
look at it in Int. Explorer it looks pretty much the same as the
'design' view in Dreamweaver (which is cool).
But when I look at it in Safari there's a huge gap...it seems
to pull any text on the page down.
Can anyone help? The following script comes after another
<div> tag which contains a .flv move player
The html to the <div> in question:
Text
<div id="nostradamuslist">Four 20 second prophecy
sequences for a documentary on Nostradamus. I made these from
newspaper clippings and pictures in books. Click to view:
<li id="selnostradamuslist"><a
href="item1.html">one</a>
<li><a href="item2.html">two</a>
<li><a
href="item3.html">three</a></li>
<li><a href="item4.html">four</a>
</div>
And here's the CSS:
Text
#nostradamuslist {
position: absolute;
width: 307px;
left: 80px;
top: 420px;
display: inline;
padding-top: 0px;
#nostradamuslist ul {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 16px;
#nostradamuslist li {
width: 200px;
margin-left: 5px;
#nostradamuslist a:link, #nostradamuslist a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
#nostradamuslist a:hover {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: none;
#selnostradamuslist a:link, #selnostradamuslist a:visited,
#selnostradamuslist a:hover {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: none;
Thanks for your time.

This the first time I've used CSS and am trying to design a
simple site for my broadcast journalism work.
The URL is:
http://www.notjustthenews.co.uk/page2_movies.html
Basically, when the site is viewed in Safari there are huge
gaps, unlike the layout in Internet Explorer.
Also some of the font sizes vary, yet they are all set the
same size on my style sheet.
Thanks for your help.

  • How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

    Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
    I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

    You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
    Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs  when you rollover, but I am not able to find it.  Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had  and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
    If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

  • Why does text box move when I open pages doc on my friend's mac?

    Hi Everyone,
      So I have this very vexing problem with pages. I have been trying to collaborate with a friend of mine and everytime the pages document moves from one computer to the other the text boxes move terribly out of place. So for example, I will make a document and format it perfectly on my computer. Then I will email it to her (or put it up on dropbox or yousendit or zip it and email it) and without fail when she opens it on her computer the text boxes have moved and the document looks horrible, all my design work is totally wasted. The same thing happens if she starts a document on her end and then gives it to me.
    Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
    Oh and by the way we are both running OS 10.8.2 and Pages 4.3
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Swati,
    That was a shot in the dark. I remember that the now obsolete MacDraw would reset its margins to suit different printers. I had the thought that because Pages page layout seems similar to MacDraw, it was doing the same. I don't have a printer, so my print settings don't tell me much. Maybe Page Setup or the Print dialogue?
    Let's hope that someone else has more ideas.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Need to link text within movie template

    Hi all,
    I downloaded a flash site template (some time ago) that I'm
    just getting round to using. I don't recall if support was offered
    when I bought the site. If so, I've long since lost the link to
    that support. So, I'm turning here for help.
    The site in question is www.plumbingsystems.net. Within the
    template there are individual movies. One of these movies is
    titled, "Text Area." I don't believe I can actually post this movie
    for review but I'm hoping by posting the text layout under
    "actions" that someone out there might be able to tell me how this
    text can be formatted and, most importantly, if the text can be
    linked to other URLs. Specifically, I want to take the text that
    makes up the "Client List" text and link some of the client names
    to external URLs with photos of the client's work. Here is how the
    text appears within the "actions" panel of the Text Area movie:
    text = "With decades of experience in commercial and
    industrial plumbing, the owner and employees of Plumbing Systems
    understand the needs of contractors. We provide expertise with
    numerous specialty piping services, reliability in meeting
    timelines and a commitment to working within
    budget."+newline+newline+"Having worked jobs from 4,000 to 400,000
    square feet and covered projects from commercial kitchens to malls
    and medical centers, we’re familiar with the challenges of
    both large and small scale projects. We can offer up everything
    from planning and design of a job, to installation and
    maintenance."+newline+newline+"Our ability to handle a project from
    planning through completion has allowed us to build long-term
    working relationships with some of the country’s top
    companies. Take a look at our client list, projects and other
    links. We think you’ll see why Plumbing Systems is the
    logical choice for contractors looking to partner with success.";
    Again, I need to know if/how this type of text can be made to
    a live link to a URL. Is this possible? I'd appreciate any help.
    This has confounded me, on and off, for a long time with these
    types of templates.

  • Front Row really slow browsing movies

    I just upgraded my RAM to 4GB and my HDD to 500GB 7200RPM Seagate (clone made with Disk Utility) and noticed something that never happened before.While browsing movies in Front Row it becomes unresponsive for 10 to 30 secs.This does NOT happen with music,podcasts,photos or everything else in front row where everything is working great.I've always been using front row with no problems at all and have been really satisfied.
    What is happening?I tried with iTunes turned on and off but makes no difference.Also running Leopard,did not upgrade to Snow yet.It's really annoying cause Front Row is really cool and I use it all the time.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've also noticed that after exiting Front Row the program actually continues to run in the background.Using Activity Monitor I can see it using 1GB virtual ram.I don't know whta that means or if it 's normal.
    Thanks

  • Still not fixed in CS6: Undo problem after Text Type + Move

    I have noticed this very annoying Photoshop problem still has not been addressed by Adobe.
    Breakdown:
    Type text
    Move text
    If you undo the move, it will not only undo the move - but the text you typed as well
    So technically it does 2 undos instead of just 1. Does this not irritate anybody else? It's so annoying.

    Type text
    Move text
    If you undo the move, it will not only undo the move - but the text you typed as well
    Between "Type Text" and "Move Text" are you clicking the Check Mark to commit text (or hitting Enter on numeric pad), then selecting the Move Tool to move the text?

  • Top of text box moves up when typing new text exceeds box width.

    Using iWork 09 I set a text box on a master and mark it as Format/Advanced/Define as text placeholder. In the Text Inspector, I set parameters as left justified, align text to bottom, line spacing = 1, and other numerical parameters to 0. Then, on a new slide using this master, the top of the text box moves up to accommodate additional text and it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead.  What am I missig here?

    it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead.  What am I missig here?
    No it wouldnt. If you understand that, align to bottom, fixes the last character in the bottom line to the bottom right hand corner of the text box, the text then flows from that corner as you add extra text.
    You cant have align to bottom and have the text flow from the top, you need to choose between the three options.
    If you want to add extra lines without the box moving; use align to top.
    If you want to align the text to the bottom of the box; use align to bottom.
    I set parameters as left justified,
    There is no such thing as left justified.   You need to choose between justified or left align, these are two different alignment methods, text is either left aligned, right aligned or justified, not a combination of them.

  • How can I browse movies with Closed Captioning?

    I want to be able to browse movies with CC, and can't find a way to quickly do this. I used to with the Powersearch feature, but I can't find it within the new iTunes. It makes looking for movies a very long and frustrating experience, since not having closed captioning is not an option for me.

    OK i replied with the idea of repurposing ``genres because that would give you what you want. I do not think there is any way else in iTunes 11.0.1 
    So if you created a Closed Caption Genre and assigned it to all your closed caption films, when you browse Genre and select Closed Caotion then all those films appear in the roight and you can browse to your heart's content.
    Or if you require more granular control the Genre field can have mahy entries sepasrated with a comma
    eg CC, Comedy or you could go CC Comedy.
    I do not know of another way of doing this maybe someone else can help.
    Did you used to be able to do this in earlier versions of iTunes

  • Browse movies for rent

    I do not see an easy way in Itunes to display for browsing just the movies that are available for rent in their own category.
    This is not a consumer friendly way to do business.
    If I already know I do not want to "buy" a movie, but want to "rent" a movie online, why won't Apple provide an easy way for the consumer to see and browse the movies available for rent?
    As a consumer, I would rather go to another marketplace to look for my movie rentals instead of endure the user interface provided which forces me to review movies that are only available for purchase.
    In my opinion, Apple is losing rental business they would otherwise get from me and other consumers which do not wnat to purchase a movie, but would rather rent. I have to believe this is a concious decision and not an oversight based on some misguided attempt to force the consumer to make a purchase instead of make a rental.

    The implicit question was "Where/How can I browse movie rentals on iTunes?" Perhaps the feature is/was there, and some other user could point me to the right menu option or link or drop-down menu or somewhere inside of iTunes to do a rental category search/browse.
    But, thanks anyway for pointing me to where I can provide Apple feedback.

  • Apple TV Browse Movies by Rating

    I just updated my Apple TV to the latest version of the software and it now appears to no longer allow me to browse moves by Rating (G, PG, PG-13, etc). That was a great option that allowed me to only browse movies with my son that would be age appropriate.
    Is the option still there and I'm missing it?

    can't recall ever seeing that option to be honest (in any of the previous version).
    are you sure your appletv wasn't hacked/modified?

  • Image Text Wrapping html/css

    Ok, I've searched around and I don't think this is possible but...
    Every example of image text wrapping I can find requires that you put the <img> into your html before or after a paragraph. I'd like have it so that I can move my image anywhere on the left side of my div box and the text will flow around it. My concern is that I want my image placed on the left side but in the middle of a paragraph so that text from the paragraph wraps all around it on the top, right, and bottom.
    I realize that you can insert an <img> in the middle of the words to the paragraph and float left in css but my problem with that is it seems if the text gets resized in a browser or something it won't naturally flow with the image but yet get stuck there and get funky.
    Did I lose you guys? Any ideas? Is this possible?
    Thanks again

    To answer your question, you can place a floated image anywhere you wish but it will never look or stay exactly where you put it when text size is increased.  Remember, print design is static, web design isn't.  You can use EMS instead of pixels to keep things a bit more uniform when text sizes change.
