I have a div with a background-color, and a 3 pixel white border.
When I set the html element to direction:rtl and overflow-y: scroll, I get a pixel of the background to the right of the border - only in IE9:
I'm pasting my code here, because on JsFiddle I can't replicate the bug.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
direction:rtl;
}
.main {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
.sld-menu-item {
height: 85px;
border: 3px solid #fff;
background-color: #d25188;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="main" role="main">
<div class="sld-menu-item sld-menu-item-2">
</div>
</div>
</body>
Has anyone run into this problem, and/or can someone suggest a solution? I can't give up the scroll and rtl rules...
I was only able to fix it by setting overflow: hidden on containing element and doing a negative margin hack:
.main {
overflow: hidden;
}
.sld-menu-item {
margin-right: -1px;
}
You might also want to set width of sld-menu-item to 961px then. Can probably put this in an IE9 conditional statement. I hope there's a better way of solving this though.
I banged my head against the wall for several hours, at the end I solved it in a very strange way...
Change the width of .main to 961px, it seems that Microsoft does not know how to find the "middle" of an even range.

I've a page with a main scrollable div like this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#mydiv{
overflow: auto;
width: 300px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mydiv">content</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I have a fixed margin (for example 30px) at the bottom of the page?
The div can have a small or big height (depending on the screen size), but the margin should be fixed.
Thanks in advice
You can create another div either inside your existing or outside depending on how you want your page to layout. Then apply this style to the div #myftr { margin: 30px; }
Something like this.
http://jsfiddle.net/rhoenig/XxuvE/
you can simply define the margin-bottom in your css like this :-
#mydiv{
overflow: auto;
width: 300px;
border:1px solid red;
margin-bottom:30px;
}
or see the demo :-http://jsfiddle.net/XxuvE/4/
This is quite a highly discussed issue on the web, but after hours of research and trial and error, I am still unable to get the below HTML to behave as desired in IE 7, 8 or 9:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style>
.container {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
.childContainer {
float: left;
}
.box {
float: left;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="childContainer">
<div class="box"></div><div class="box"></div><div class="box"></div>
<!-- repeat until off screen -->
<div class="box"></div><div class="box"></div><div class="box"></div>
</div>
<div class="childContainer">
<span>This should not wrap!</span>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The desired behaviour is as follows:
.box elements must not wrap - a scroll bar should appear it the bottom of the window
.box elements must have a fixed width and height
.container and .childContainer cannot have a fixed width. The number of .box elements is arbitrary
must behave reasonably consistently in IE7+ and recent versions of Chrome and FireFox
The provided HTML works in Chrome, I believe it honours the white-space: nowrap even for block elements. I've tried using SPAN elements, but they need to be forced to be a block element with float: left or the width attribute is ignored. They then have the same issue as DIV elements.
I'm sure there must be a solution to this without using JavaScript, but that is an option if all else fails.

I haven't tried it in IE, but you could try removing white-space: nowrap; and replace it to margin-right: -99999px;
Put the boxes in a table. That seems to be the only practical approach.
When you try to make the .box elements appear in a row, the use of float: left has its own effect, which cannot be prevented by setting white-space, as it operates at a different level, so to say. But by putting them into a table row, you force them into a row.
You can even dispense with those elements and just style cells of a table:
<style>
table.boxes td {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
...
<table class=boxes cellspacing=0><tr><td>...</td><td>...</td>...<td>...</td></tr></table>
Is there something that will do what margin does but without the background drawing in that area? For instance, when you give an element margin: 1em you get a 1em border of blank space around the element, but the background draws in that area. Is there something similar to that except where the background doesn't draw?
My problem is I'm trying to put something below three float: lefted divs and right now I can't get any spacing between that and the floated divs above it. They just abut directly against each other.
The div that is going below the float: lefted divs has the property clear: both. If there was something that made that div have space between it and that floated div above it then that would work too.
Maybe this example will help explain (and solve) your problem?
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<style>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
h1, p { background-color: #eee; margin: 10px 0; }
div { background-color: pink; float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; margin-right: 1px; }
br { clear: both; display: block; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<br />
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor set amit...</p>
</body>
</html>
Margins are supposed to be transparent. I think what you're seeing here is collapsing margins. Try putting a 1px border around your divs and see what happens.
Check out the CSS 2.1 spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins
Perhaps you're looking for:
border: 4px white; /* replace with your color */
With floated elements the margin around elements next to them is ignored. I think you will have to create an additional element between the floated element and the item you want.
Because the element is floated margin space won't always be properly respected. Use a margin/border hack where you simply set the element's color to the same color as your page background and its thickness to whatever you desire. Such as in the following post:

i am trying to vertically align a div inside another div at the bottom and i do not want to use relative/absolute positioning. below is my markup. it seems to work. but i am not sure whether this is the best solution. can anyone recommend a better way? also, in FF if i remove the border around the container, it stops working. does anyone know why?
thanks

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.container
{
background-color: #ffff00;
height: 100px;
line-height: 100px;
border: solid 1px #666666;
}
.container .content
{
margin-top: 60px;
background-color: #ffbbbb;
height: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="content">test</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Do use absolute positioning. I think it is probable that the reason you do not want to use absolute positioning is based on a misconception. Namely, if the container has the position attribute as well, absolute positioning will not be in regard to the whole page, but in regard to the container, and then you will get what you want with:
.container
{
position: relative;
}
.container .content
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
}
Now, no matter the sizes, your content will be will be at the bottom of the container.
That will work... only thing is you won't be able to put anything in the empty top 60 pixels.
I believe that if you're looking for the best solution, you should indeed use relative/absolute positioning.
Is there any specific reason that you're trying to avoid relative/absolute positioning?
I have always been wondering how other people get to align to the centre the main div container as the only way I manage so far is adding to the css file the following:
*{
padding:auto;
margin:auto;
text-align:centre;
}
I have seen other pages using: *{padding:0px;margin:0px} but I can't see where or what do they do to centralise the main container.
Could anybody explain how?
Code example:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>This is the main container</title>
<style type="text/css">
*{
padding:auto;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width:400px;background-color:#66FFFF;display:block;height:400px;">
<b>This is the main container.</b>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Could anybody explain how do they do it in the following page?
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/179/179.css&page=4
Do not use the * selector as that will apply to all elements on the page. Suppose you have a structure like this:
...
<body>
<div id="content">
<b>This is the main container.</b>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can then center the #content div using:
#content {
width: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #66ffff;
}
Don't know what you've seen elsewhere but this is the way to go. The * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } snippet you've seen is for resetting browser's default definitions for all browsers to make your site behave similarly on all browsers, this has nothing to do with centering the main container.
Most browsers apply a default margin and padding to some elements which usually isn't consistent with other browsers' implementations. This is why it is often considered smart to use this kind of 'resetting'. The reset snippet you presented is the most simplest of reset stylesheets, you can read more about the subject here:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
The basic principle of centering a page is to have a body CSS and main_container CSS. It should look something like this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
#main_container {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
You can text-align: center the body to center the container. Then text-align: left the container to get all the text, etc. to align left.
I would omit the * { text-align:center } declaration, as it sets center alignment for all elements.
Usually with a fixed width container margin: 0 auto should be enough
