You are apparently using overflow: auto; on div class=section to 
contain floats, which creates a scrollbar that takes up space so the 
right float can't fit alongside the left.

Make that '.section {overflow: hidden;}' and it will line up as intended.

Change id=1 to id=one and id=3 to id=three with the
appropriate changes to your style sheet, and then try it out
to see how it works.

If you have any other div ID's that start with numerals,
they must also be changed to start with a letter [A-Za-z].

It is not necessary to float the lime block. Consequently, it is not
necessary to clear the float. The html comment !-- #nbsp;-- simply
tells the software (specifically IE/6) that there is something in the
division(s).

Set it like this and compliant browsers, and even IE/6.0 and IE/7.0 will
be on-board:

!doctype html
html lang=en
head
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=utf-8
titleabc/title

style type=text/css

body {margin:0; background: #fff; color:#000;}

Re: [css-d] Float problem

2009-09-24 Thread Thierry Koblentz
 Hi - I was working on a tutorial and they suggested adding 'clear:
 left;'   to the descendent selector below in order to remove the
 problem of next label/question ( in this case:  'Rate your apartment
 farming skills' ) wrapping around the float in case where the text for
 the question/label before runs more than one line, as is the case with
 the second label.
 Although this problem is fixed, but now I am running into another
 problem in that the next 'input types' ( Novice, Intermediate, and
 Advanced  ) are wrapping around the long text. How can I best resolve
 this - thanking in advance, Naz.
 
 
 #subForm .label {
float: left;
width: 230px;
margin-right: 10px;
text-align: right;
font-weight: bold;
clear: left;
 }
 
 .
 
 
 form id=subForm name=subForm method=post action=
   plabel for=name class=labelWhat is your
name?/label
input type=text name=name id=name
//p
plabel for=email class=labelWhat is your email
 address? There's one last step for these labels. Because they're
 floated to the left, if the
 text runs more than one line, the question that follows will also try
 to wrap around to the right./label/* ...SECOND LABEL */
   input type=text name=email id=email
//p
pspan class=labelRate your apartment farming
skills/span
   label
   input name=skill type=radio value=novice
 /Novice/label
   label
input name=skill type=radio
value=intermediate /
  Intermediate/label
   label
   input name=skill type=radio value=advanced
 /Advanced/
 label
/p
 
   .
 /form

Try to you use a fieldset instead of a p to wrap the radio buttons and use
clear:left on that fieldset. That you should fix your float problem as
fieldsets create a new block-formatting context and will also contain the
floats.
Also, using fieldset is more semantic than using paragraphs for this.

First: your example keeps all IE/win versions in a rendering mode
equivalent to that of IE5.5 - Quirks Mode, and doesn't allow for any
improvements made in IE6, IE7 and IE8. Not very wise to block all
progress made to IE, so I hope you don't do that in real designs.

Non-IE browsers don't care which mode your pages trigger - or not - as
long as they're styled correctly and completely.


So, your example will work just fine in Firefox and all other browsers,
regardless of mode, if you add some real clearfix styling...

.clearfix:after {
content: .; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; overflow: hidden;
visibility: hidden;
}

...as can be seen in this, more completely styled but still in quirks
mode, copy of your example...

Hi Gaurav,

With only a cursory glance, I have a feeling that the structure is slightly 
more complicated than it need be - there are quite a few nested divs there. 
However, with what you have, the containing element with the background 
(#footer) needs to clear the floats that it contains. One method is applying 
'overflow: auto' to that element. Alternatives can be found with a search for 
'self clearing float'.

Re: [css-d] float problem: not being contained or something else?

2008-10-24 Thread Luc
Good morning Gunlaug, 

It was foretold that on 24/10/2008 @ 06:35:22 GMT+0200 (which was
02:35:22 where I live) Gunlaug Sørtun would write:

snipped a bit

 Delete 'width: 18em' on #puller2 and let that float default to 'width:
 auto' and shrink-wrap. Delete 'margin-left: 1em' while you're at it.
 That will give you the most stable line-up, at the right edge of #main-top.

When trying to correct it myself yesterday, i indeed used the
'width:auto' but ofcourse forgot about the margin-left.

Works like a charm!!

 I also have a float drop in IE: resizing drops the whole content 
 beneath the nav. Have i messed up my math somewhere?

 Think so :-)

 It is the percentage (not 100%) that makes it a little harder to
 calculate trigger-points.
 A quick test gives me these values for near-flawless operation on 96dpi
 resolution screens...

 * html #container{ width:expression(
 (document.documentElement.offsetWidth) (830/12)
 * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)?  48.75em
 : ((document.documentElement.offsetWidth) (600/12)
 * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)? 34.75em : 96%)); }

 I raised min-width to 34.75em because IE6 has a tendency to drop content
 too early on narrow windows.

Darn, i recalculated all my widths yesterday except for the
expression. Never thought that would be culprit. On the
hand it's the first time i used that technique so i hope i'll be
forgiven ;-)

Guess i need to read your excellent article again :-)

 That expression do not work well on other screen-resolutions than 96dpi
 - the most widespread one that IE6 may be found on at the moment, and
 there's not much I can do about that since resolution can't be easily
 checked and used as a variable in expressions.

Oh well, for me it suffices ... i guess if we want to consider all
possible screen resolutions out there and users that change default
font size etc we'll be in the magic business :-)

You're right: web design isn't magic - just code :-)

FWIW: my expression takes height for font resizing. That's the whole
idea behind extracting the browser's own font-size and using it to
calculate dimensional trigger-points.

And, yes, ideally we should take all those variants and options at the
user-end into account while designing. Someone may actually use them.
Pity those who create hardware and software don't always agree on how to
make all those variants and options interact, as that would have made it
much easier for us.

As more and more browsers come around to support mediaqueries, we can
start doing something useful for end-users with other set-ups and
preferences than our own. Still need some leveling on the hardware and
software front for it to work consistently though.

 When resizing your browser, and also on resizing the font, all the 
 headings shift way over. At first i thought it was a containing 
 float problem but if i'm correct that only effects escaping floats 
 vertically.

Those headings are contained in #main-top, which has a 'width: 36em'
declared on it. This means it'll have a certain width, and that width
will change with font-resizing but _not_ with window-resizing.

By simply changing that to...

#main-top {width: 100%;}

...and deleting the left paddings on h1 and h2, the line-up will adjust
to window-size with the rest of the page, and won't be affected by
font-resizing.

That's indeed simple lol.

Your solution works for the main-top but i tried the same for the
nested puller2 div but i had no luck. That one still gives me the
same problem.

I also have a float drop in IE: resizing drops the whole content
beneath the nav. Have i messed up my math somewhere?

Delete 'width: 18em' on #puller2 and let that float default to 'width:
auto' and shrink-wrap. Delete 'margin-left: 1em' while you're at it.
That will give you the most stable line-up, at the right edge of #main-top.


 I also have a float drop in IE: resizing drops the whole content 
 beneath the nav. Have i messed up my math somewhere?

Think so :-)

It is the percentage (not 100%) that makes it a little harder to
calculate trigger-points. I usually just test and tweak until it is
close enough for comfort.

A quick test gives me these values for near-flawless operation on 96dpi
resolution screens...

* html #container{ width:expression(
(document.documentElement.offsetWidth) (830/12)
* parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)?  48.75em
: ((document.documentElement.offsetWidth) (600/12)
* parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)? 34.75em : 96%)); }

I raised min-width to 34.75em because IE6 has a tendency to drop content
too early on narrow windows.

That expression do not work well on other screen-resolutions than 96dpi
- the most widespread one that IE6 may be found on at the moment, and
there's not much I can do about that since resolution can't be easily
checked and used as a variable in expressions.

 Here's my second problem of the day: the floated main navigation links are
 dropping down incrementally in IE 6, and are doing the same in IE 7, but
 also hiding all but the top link in IE 7 behind an image in the div below.


Hi Janie,

Try changing the LI elements of your navigation to inline as in:

#main_nav UL {
FLOAT: right; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px;
LIST-STYLE: none
}
#main_nav UL LI {
DISPLAY: inline
}

The floated box on the right side can't go higher up than the one you
have cleared below navigation on the left side - unless you isolate
the right float from the left. That's how floats are supposed to work.

The addition of...

#ufwus {display: table; height: 1%;}

Can't use 'overflow: hidden' since you have the right float hanging over

IE6 is acting up, but I don't have time to fix that old bugger now.

Many thanks, Firefox is working :-)) I didn't

have lots to learn... hopefully that will always be ;-)

I'll repost this with the subject changed so with

Can you just float the image and not the div and let the parent determine
the width of the text?

That's because you have the textdiv floated:left. Remove the float and the text 
will be fine. Of course...

I putted the text a div because text may not wrap around the image.

You don't want the text to wrap under the image (if present)? Then you need the 
margin or width. 

I may not be understanding exactly what you want to do. Pages with image need 
to have the left column clear, pages without images text should be flush left 
(no left column)?

Some content, or residue from IE's white-space bug, is pushing
mainrightcol from the inside, and IE6 by default doesn't respect
declared dimensions - making mainrightcol too wide.

You can add...

#mainrightcol {overflow-x: hidden;}

...to eliminate IE6' auto-expansion bug and thereby prevent the float
drop.

Delete the width on those paragraphs - at least for IE, as the width 
acts as a 'hasLayout' trigger, making each paragraph a rigid block in 
IE. There's no way around this effect of the 'Layout' bug but to avoid 
triggering it.

Use margins or paddings to line up those paragraphs as intended.

 mockup at the moment involving floats and they go crazy on me.

 On resizing the viewport the center float jumps down ... is there a

 the floats sit tight?  Or maybe i'm on the wrong path and need
 absolute positioning?

Re: [css-d] float problem...

2006-11-17 Thread Chris Martin
Sorry, originally posted this from my mobile and there's no 'reply
all', so this didn't make it back to the list

the way the css is defined, #left and #right would need to be nested
inside a div, that's nested inside the 'header-bottom' class, but
that's not how it's marked up.

try simply

#left { width: 190px; float: left; }
#right { width: 560px; float: right; }

this would work too

.header-bottom #left { width: 190px; float: left; }
.header-bottom #right { width: 560px; float: right; }

IMO there's no need because these are ID's, and they won't (or
shouldn't) be found more than once in the markup.

Quoting Tim Zappe:


How do I make this so that the #footer stays at the bottom?

http://www.western.edu/admissions/new/viewbook.html

Thanks
-t


Relevant CSS bits:

#footer{clear:both;width:764px;margin:0 auto;background:#5c5c5c;}
#footer_content{padding:10px 0 0;text-align:left;color:#a0a0a0;}
#footer_nav{clear:both;text-align:center;padding:15px 0 30px;}

#footer_nav a, #extra_nav a{color:#a0a0a0;font-weight:normal;}
#footer_nav a:hover, #extra_nav a:hover{color:#000;}

I fail to see where you instruct for footer to stay at the bottom.

Try adding something like the following to your stylesheet:

position:absolute; bottom:0; left:0;

Given the brevity of your message, I am not entirely sure what you are 
trying to

achieve, but I hope my suggestion makes a good starting point.

That worked for me when I originally had to work around this bug.
But you must hide that from older browsers like IE Mac and Win.

Hi Jeanne,

The error is from the width: auto; in #outer. It should be 
something like:


#outer {
width: 522px;
[...]
}

Goodnight,
Kaspars

Hi Jeanne,

One more thing to add. If this 
http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/3cols2/ is the layout you 
are trying to achieve (with floating central column) I 
suggest you to use the code on that site. Yours is very 
messy and there are tags like .bold which do the strong 
thing. I mean, the site is okei, but you could make the 
code much more cleaner (and floating middle column, to add).


Best regards,
Kaspars
