[css-d] IE6 and positioning
Hello,
I'm having some trouble with IE6 -- which last time I tested the site,
I don't remember having this problem, so I am not sure why this is
happening.
In IE6 the #nav is pushed down 100px.
To fix this I added in ie.css:
#branding {position: absolute;}
#nav {padding-top: 360px;}
But I would love to know why this is happening and hopefully remove
these 2 rules.
Would anyone know where the culprit is?

Thanks,
Elle

[css-d] IE issues: positioning and background problems
Hello, I actually asked for assistance with first problem before and thought the problem was fixed but it is not. I have two problems with IE: 1. Cockerel at the bottom does not get the correct z-index -- should be in front of the #footer on the home page http://designbyelle.com.au/mq/ 2. I'm using a background image on #timeline, which does not appear in IE The page is at: http://designbyelle.com.au/mq/sailing-through-time.html I just can't think of why this is happening in IE Thanks, Elle __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

[css-d] IE and Negative Absolute Positioning
Hello, I've created this website on a mac. When checking the page on browser shots, I'm having trouble with absolute positioning an image of a rooster at the bottom in both IE6 and 7. Would anyone know how to fix it? Besides that, I haven't noticed any other major problems in IE (to my surprise) but maybe I have missed some.

Re: [css-d] positioning problems (IE and Opera)
Thank you Dmitry Demeshkin and Ingo Chao.
So, here's the problems and solutions again:
In IE 6 and 7:
#main-image not positioned right
Solution:
#additional-content {position:relative; width:450px; }
#home #main-image {position: absolute; top:0; left:0;}
divs pushed down
Solution: declared .prepend-1, .prepend-2, .prepend-3 {padding-left:
0;} in my ie.css
one of the texts pushed down in the gallery
Solution: removed class=span-2
In Opera (and Safari):
Logo is not position correctly
Solution: #branding a {display: block;}
Gallery's stage positioned too much to the left instead of right:
Solution:
I couldn't use display: block; which was the solution for the first
problem, so instead I declared div.inner {width: 100%;}
and to avoid width and paddings in the same rule, I redefined the
padding on the child elements
Last Problem: Navigation rounded corners.
Solution: added color to the background rule.
So in my case it was: background: white url(../img/rounded-left.gif)
no-repeat left bottom;
But I still have 2 last problems in IE -- if anyone has a minute to
have a minute to have a look:
The logo is appearing behind the main image on the home page -- even
though it has higher z-index
and on the gallery page, the stage images line up good when the page
loads -- but if you leave the page on for a little while, the top
background image appears and continues below the stage.

Thanks once again,
Elle

[css-d] positioning problems (IE and Opera)
Hi, I actually have a few problems with some elements and wanted to ask for your help. In IE (6 and 7): On the home page, the #main-image is positioned too much to the right and it is above the logo instead of below it. There are also a few divs that get pushed down: -- #featured-project on the home page -- #additional-content on the services page -- the text paragraphs in the gallery page In Opera 9 the main problem is that the logo is positioned too much to the left. Also my stage on the gallery page is again positioned to the left instead of right. One last thing (and I had this before but for some reason, I can't figure out how now): the round corners in the main navigation -- one corner does not align. The site is at: http://designbyelle.com.au/poinciana/ A lot of questions -- I know -- any help would be much appreciated.

[css-d] footer and multiple background images
Hello, I am trying to create an affect where the tree image comes in front of the grass repeated image. At the moment, the tree is a background image in the #content div and the bkg-grass.jpg is in the background of the #footer. Defining the faded tree in the background of the #content makes it easier with alignment, which might be difficult to achieve otherwise -- but I am open to suggestions. So basically what I want is to have the grass image to repeat itself across the page and the tree image to appear in-front of the grass image and to be right- aligned with the #content. I can think of a couple workarounds but I wanted to ask for a recommendation for what would you think would be the best way to achieve that affect?

Re: [css-d] footer and multiple background images
You're trying to affect a creation, right? Try this, to your HTML,
add a wrapper
division that starts right after the body, and ends right before the
footer. To
the CSS, remove the background image from the footer, but make sure
you add a
background color (#bdbcaf). Then add,
div#wrap {background: transparent url(../img/bkg-grass.jpg) left
bottom
repeat-x;}
You'll have to change the faded-tree.jpg to a transparent .gif
or .png, making
sure the trunk in dark enough.
That worked like a charm Peter -- and easier than what i would have
come up with. Thank you.
Could I also ask for general feedback about the page so far?
Thanks once again,
Elle

[css-d] right align and shrinking browser window
Hi,
I have a page where I have the following rules:
body {text-align: right; width: 103.5em; height: 127em; }
#container {position: absolute; width: 103em; height: 127em; right: 0; }
Inside the #container, I have other absolute positioned elements.
And it works well when the browser window is wide enough... but when I
narrow the browser window, the scroll bars appear and still keep the
width as 103.5em but content to the left disappears and I get a big
white empty space to the right.
If I add body {position: relative;}, scroll bars work fine but when
the browser window is wide enough, the layout is aligned to the left
and not right.
Sorry for not providing a link. Is it possible to find a solution with
how I describe the problem?
Thanks,
Elle

By relaxing the left margin slightly solves the problem:
#wrapper {
PADDING-BOTTOM: 3em; MARGIN-LEFT: 2em; WIDTH: 66em
}
What about widening the #topwrapper instead to 90em?
Would that have the same effect?

Re: [css-d] wrapper width and IE
I don't have IE6 to check it out but it already looks better in IE7. Still got 2 problems: 1. Same page: http://mesfiji.org/about/mes-staff In IE7 (and I would assume the same in IE6), the text in the dd gets pushed down below the image. Now I know that IE has trouble fitting floats, but there should be enough space for it to fit in. 2. A different page: http://kids.mesfiji.org/ IE doesn't see my links that are scattered over the map. How can I fix it?

Re: [css-d] Site Check
Well more a page check.
After lots of spinning my wheels, I think I've got this working???
I've looked on PC Win2k Firefox, Opera 9.0, IE 6.0.
URL http://www.abilityincorporated.org.au/index.php
Everything validates and I'm hoping it's a fairly okay (not perfect)
accessible page which will be used as template for the site.
Would really appreciate any comments etc and if it breaks etc.
Hi Vicki,
The page looks great.
A couple of suggestions:
1) div#ufwus and div#navigation -- both have width set in %. When you resize
the text, the widths stay constant and the navigation flows over the main
text. Maybe think of changing to using ems. This way the relations between
the divs will remain.
2) Your main text is littered with pnbsc;/p
You should remove them and control the spacing between paragraphs in your
css -- i.e.
p {margin-bottom; 10px;} (or whatever you want the margin to be.)
Just my thoughts anyway.
Cheers,
Elle

Re: [css-d] Drop down menus bunching
A site I've designed (daily.swarthmore.edu) uses drop-down menus as its
primary means for navigation, since it has an enormous number of
categories (I'm up to 57 now) which aren't really set for display in any
other format.
In Safari and newer versions of IE, the site displays properly all the
time. Occasionally in Firefox (like once every fifteen refreshes) the
site changes from showing this:
The CSS isn't changing, and no content has changed between those two
screen shots: the menu just goes all strange.
Miles.

[css-d] IE and Floats
I've have a problem with IE (what a surprise) and I was hoping someone could
help me.
http://waznelle.com/td/
I have a main column (#maincol) and a side column (#sidecol). Beforehand I
had the #sidecol before the #maincol and floated it and all was good.
Then I changed the order of the content and floated the #maincol but the
#sidecol just doesn't want to get into place.
It is probably a problem with padding but I don't believe I have any (only
around the images which IE 5 doesn't show anyway).
On a different note, a couple of extra problems:
* my #topnav breaks up in opera 7
* And IE5 doesn't show my heading using {text-indent:-5000px;}
Any help will be much appreciated,
