I created an HTML 5 form where my legends all have background colors. My aim, which is accomplished in FireFox, Google Chrome, IE 9>, is to have text then background color extend the width of the page. The problem however is that in IE8 and lower versions it only extends to the end of the words. This is what I have so far CSS wise for my regular page:
.FormArea legend
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 2em;
display: block;
color: white;
background-color: #A70C1E;
width: 95%;
padding-left: 7px;
}
May I have some insight on how to make the necessary adjustments for IE8
I just used a padding:
.FormArea legend
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 2em;
color: white;
background-color: #A70C1E;
width: 80px !Important;
padding-right: 650px !important;
display: block;
}
.FormArea legend span
{
width:100%;
}

In order to solve an issue at work, I've been learning how to do paragraph numbering with css. So far, I am pleased with the results for standalone text passages. However, my requirement is to do the same in a scroll box with a vertical scrollbar.
As you can see here: http://jsfiddle.net/Lceewqj3/3/, I have gotten close by removing absolute positioning from the paragraph numbers, and adding a right margin, but I am still having a problem getting the paragraph starting left edge to be positioned correctly. My solution must work correctly for double-digit paragraph numbers as well as single, so the fixed right margin doesn't work, as you can see by scrolling down to paragraph 10. I tried adding a width property, but that didn't work either.
Note that modifying the existing passage-scrolling style is something I am not at liberty to do, so I need a solution that involves only manipulating the chapter and/or page styles.
Here is the css for the fiddle:
.chapter {
counter-reset: paragraph;
padding-left: 30px;
}
.page p {
width: 75%;
}
.page p:before {
//position: absolute;
margin-left: -30px;
margin-right: 14px;
color: #000;
font-style: italic;
content: counter(paragraph);
counter-increment: paragraph;
}
p {
margin-top: 10px;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
line-height: 22px;
font-weight: 400;
}
.passage-scrolling {
padding: 0 5%;
height: 340px;
width: 89%;
border: 2px solid #999;
overflow-y: auto;
margin-bottom: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
Someone at work figured this out for me. The answer was simply to add float:left; and text-align:left; and remove the right margin from the .page p:before style. See the result here: http://jsfiddle.net/Lceewqj3/5/
Here's the final css that worked correctly:
.chapter {
counter-reset: paragraph;
padding-left: 30px;
}
.page p {
width: 75%;
}
.page p:before {
float: left;
text-align: left;
margin-left: -30px;
font-style: italic;
content: counter(paragraph);
counter-increment: paragraph;
}
I have an issue with IE9 and css. It looks like IE9 doesn't accept the padding definition of the two elements p and a. The background color shrinked and is only in the upper left corner of the elements. The following css works fine in firefox though:
<div class="slider">
<p class="claim orange">Some Text</p>
<a class="claim blue" href="">Some Link</a>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
.slider p {
position: absolute;
top: -200px;
z-index: 8000;
padding: 0.5% 2%;
line-height: 100%;
color: #fff;
white-space: nowrap;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.claim {
line-height: 100%;
font-size: 18px;
}
.orange { background: #EF7D00 }
.blue {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 15px;
border-color: white;
}
.blue:hover {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 15px;
background: #2e6da4;
border-color: #2e6da4;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
What might be the issue and how can I get the background color work in IE9 in this case?
Your code as-is doesn't seem to display a working page, at least for me in Chrome or Firefox. The p element containing "some text" is displaying with top: -200px, off the page to the top, and the background is white so I can't see anything until I mouseover the link.
Did you forget to include some key lines in your code? Try pasting everything into a text file and testing it out, before uploading it in a question, or it's going to be hard for us to help you.
It's not clear to me what you're trying to do here!
I have built web site (www.dubovik.org it's on russian, but it's not relevant to the issue) everything looks quite ok except on mobile Safari (on iphone and ipad). Only one h2 (with phone numbers) has blue color instead of white (as other h2's).
This is html with problematic heading:
<h2 class="heading" id="left">694-29-29 <br> 7-911-922-35-97</h2>
And css:
h2 {
clear: both;
color:#444444;
text-align: center;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-family: Helvetica, italic;
}
.heading {
width: 650px;
color: #fff;
text-align: right;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-shadow: 0 3px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
line-height: 1em;
}
#left {
position: absolute;
top: 335px;
left: 1.5%;
z-index: 5;
float: left;
width: 500px;
color: #fff;
text-align: left;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-shadow: 0 3px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
font-size: 3.5em;
line-height: 1em;
}
Tried everything (style it differently, give it different classes and id's and style them differently) - mobile Safari renders h2 heading with phone number in blue color.
Thanks for your help!
iOS automatically makes telephone numbers into links. You can stop it from doing that like this:
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
Or you can keep the number as a link and style it like this:
a[href^=tel]{
color:inherit;
}
You could try this:
color: #fff !important;
I have applied two different styles for two different text buttons.
.BC {
background-color : DC143C;
color: white;
font-size: 12px;
display: block;
height: 21px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bolder;
}
.DE {
background-color : black;
color: white;
font-size: 12px;
display: block;
height: 21px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bolder;
}
The look and feel of the buttons are great in Mozilla,chrome,Opera and Safari browser with the expected colour changes(ie the button appers with default length and the text is wrapped inside it).But in IE8 and IE9 the color is applied only upto the text what I have mentioned and adjusts itself with the buttton structure.
Can you please help me with this?
Hey used to # before in color
as like this
background-color : #DC143C;
and replace this one
.BC{background-color : #DC143C;}
I have an infoBubble with some text and images. The right aligned image (arrow) is pushed down in Firefox (Mac) but not Safari or Opera dependent on the length of the text to the left and above. See the marker over Australia: http://www.hostelbars.com/map_test_v3_3.html
Here's the css:
.infowindow {
background-color: #000;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 18px;
font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial;
text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #000;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.infowindow .iwPhoto {
background-color: #F00;
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 1px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-left: 5px;
}
.infowindow .iwName {
background-color: #0F3;
line-height: 33px;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
margin-left: 115px;
margin-top: -70px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-top: 2px;
}
.infowindow .iwCity {
background-color: #C03;
line-height: 32px;
margin-left: 115px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
.infowindow .iwCity .iwArrow {
background-color: #0CF;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
margin-top: 3px;
float: right;
}
Aside from the images I don't want the div's to have a fixed width. Would appreciate some help.

Seems to only happen the first time, and for items with city values longer than name values. This suggests you didn't set width and height values for your img element (arrow.png), so the first time it has no idea what size it's going to be, and subsequent times it does.
What you should probably do is change it to a background image, as it's merely an iconified decorative image meaning 'next' or 'more', and thus should be in CSS's realm of style, not HTML's realm of meaning (where 'img' lives). See this list of image replacement techniques.
Otherwise, you could just apply img[src$="arrow.png"] { width: 29px; height: 29px; }, or add width and height attributes to the img element.
