I already tried out a lot of suggestions that were made in related threads on Stackoverflow. However it doesn't seem to have worked. Please check my site http://popundernetwork.com - the footer works correctly on Chrome, Firefox,etc. But on IE 8, the footer not only floats right in the middle, but also prevents people from entering details on the form input screen.
I have already tried the position:absolute; bottom:0; commands as well as clear:both on the footer div. This has still not fixed the issue on the IE 8 browser.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It's issue is not fixed in any browser if you ask me. (no pun intended)
Your body is becoming shorter than page height when you make you footer absolute.
Remove the position and the padding entirely from your footer and it should solve everything.

I run a site using a liquid tri-column layout with a header. The layout runs nicely for more than a decade with all browsers I ever dared to try. It is based on absolute positioning in CSS. This page provides an example of the actual site.
Watching the page from my tablet I found that the right column overlaps the center matter. Further investigation using Firebug showed that once the center content reaches 360px width, the right margin of the div shrinks. Why is that? Since Firefox and Android render the same, I guess that this is something, which is actually supposed to be.
However, I tried to make virtue out of necessity and experimented setting min-width for body and content and made the body scroll overflow. The body actually scrolls, but the right column is positioned on the right edge of the viewport instead of the body element (Firefox). Is this intentional CSS standard?
Any ideas how to solve the presentation on small displays?
Thanks for your efforts,

I pondered a while whether I should revoke the question or provide this self-answer. I decided for the self-answer since I wished some of the answers in related had been presented when I wrote the question.
First the 360px limit apparently is my own stupidity. There is a comment form, which refuses to shrink. It scrolled out of my view.
The issue of the wiered positioning had been solved by adding position:relative; to the body. The reason is explained in this question.
The overflow setting I used during experimenting is not necessary, since the default behaviour scrolls already. But using any overflow directive wrecks IE8.
So thanks a lot, the pool of answers finally had it all.
This seems to be a bug specific to firefox (version 7.0.1), I have copied the offending code into jsFiddle.
but jsFiddle DOES NOT REPRODUCE THE BUG. copy the code from jsFiddle into a blank html document and test it locally to see the issue.

This is the normal state of the menu items before you over over any of them:
This is the first sub_item when hovered over wiht the mouse:
And the third sub_item:
And now the last:
Where did that white margin come from around the #global_nav_box div? it only shows up on the hover state of the last sub item.
That is the bug I cant (conveniently) fix.
Fixes I've found are:
Setting the body tag 'margin-top:0px' - but that leave an unsightly margin on the left and right of the page.
Removing the 'z-index' property from the CSS for #global_nav_box - I thought i'd fixed it, until all the content on the page below scrolled over the div when you scroll on the page.
So why does it do this? Can you replicate this on Firefox? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Update: Ive had some of my friends test it and it (the bug) shows up for some and not for others, I have also tested in in Windows XP mode and it (the bug) still doesn't show up. All my testers were running Windows 7 and Firefox 7.0.1.
I've disabled all plugins and extensions on my install of Firefox and its still there. Insane.
Although I do not know what caused this issue I have found a clean solution for it :)
Could you not wrap the absolute positioned div in a fixed div like this: http://jsfiddle.net/HelloJoe/JXWNj

His solution from the previous thread that was the cause for this one fixed everything. :)
I'm banging my head on this one.
I have a disturbing horizontal scrollbar that appears only when browsing my site in IE7:
http://www.regia.it
I have tried and tried to stop this from happening by using overflow:hidden on my divs but for some reason I just can't seem to find what is causing the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This does seem odd. I am assuming you don't mind if the page is not horizontally scrollable even on small screens, since you have tried to use:
body{overflow-x: hidden;}
In which case if you apply it to html rather than body it should do the trick:
html{overflow-x: hidden;}
I wouldn't really want to implement this long term, but if you are looking for a quick fix this should be ok as a temporary measure until you can work out what is going wrong. I would also put it in a conditional comment so as not to ruin the experience for the majority of people on modern browsers.
<!--[if IE 7]>
Link to alternate style sheet
OR
<style> /*CSS in here*/ </style>
<![endif]-->
EDIT : I have found the cause of the issue, so there is no need to use the above workaround. As I had suspected the issue was related to absolute and relative positioning.
You just need to remove position:relative from .grid_2 and .grid_12 and the scrollbar will disappear.
I came across this vexing issue too. I had a table in a div, and these were inside an outer div. When I removed the style to make the inner div width:100%, my 'IE7 only' scrollbar situation disappeared.
Hopefully that is somewhat helpful.
EDIT: Solution found. The pink block had overflow:visible !important, which in Internet Explorer invalidated z-index. After removing it, the logo came to the top.
See: http://bit.ly/i7ER3e
See logo "**" (beside top menu) with Firefox/Chrome, it correctly appears above left-content block (the block with pink background).
In IE7/IE8 the logo, it becomes hidden behind the pink block.
I've been messing with this for 2 hours now. Tried a lot of stuff. Can't get it to appear right in IE7/IE8.
Any suggestions?
(Note: I'm working in a really restrictive framework where I cannot simply float the logo before the menu. I have to use position:absolute to place it.)
The problem is not z-index in your case
your body has some line height which is not sufficent...
line-height:180%
change this to 200 or so it works, but still that is not good approach
but just found the issue....
Try using:
z-index: -1;
for the elements that should be below the logo.
try setting position:relative; as well as the z-index.
The default position style is position:static;, and IE has bugs around the z-index handling when combined with static positioning; setting position:relative can solve some of them, without affecting too much else.
See this page for more info. (the link is for CSS3Pie, which is an IE hack to help it support some CSS3 features like border-radius, but the info on the z-index bug is general and likely covers your issue as well)
I am working on a small project, and am having two tiny problems with CSS.
I have played around with everything to no avail.
1) In IE6 the content and logo is not lining up correctly.
2) In Firefox, the tooltip box fixed at the bottom of the page (which degrades in IE6) although styled as width:100%; is not spanning the whole screen. There is a gap on the left hand side.
These problems can be seen by viewing http://gua.com/wd/ in the respective browsers.
If anyone could advise as to what has gone wrong, and why, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
for firefox: Yyou can add left:0; for #bottom
for internet explorer: I see your menu to be wrong not the logo. To solve this just add margin:0 for #top-nav
You should ideally be using some sort of css reset stylesheet to overcome specific browser idiosyncrasies.
In your case appending a margin: 0px; to your body should do the trick (For Firefox). IE6, well, its usually best left to a IE6 specific conditional stylesheet.
"100%" means "100% of the parent box's client space". Not "100% of the entire viewport".
And IE6's CSS support is f*cked beyond sanity. If it doesn't work, use absolute positioning or whatever else it takes in a special stylesheet and include it with conditional comments.
