Let me make it quick for you all :
Go to http://chetanreddy.com/chat/ in Internet Explorer 7.
Notice there is a lot of space after the single word.
Works fine in all except IE7.
Would appreciate your help.

Ok, for starters you need a min-height on one of the background boxes, because it's breaking your gradient:
.wBoxTall .right, .gBoxTall .right {min-height: 29px;}
.wBoxTall .bottom .right, .gBoxTall .bottom .right {min-height: 0;}
Whenever you have issues in IE7, the first thing you should try is giving the element hasLayout - it's a weird little bug that means sometimes your styles don't work as they should. It's also often useful to specify a positioning. Try this:
.wBoxTall, .gBoxTall {zoom:1; position:relative}

I'm working on an interface and this thing is bugging me.
Please see: http://jsfiddle.net/NUKxX/
It works in Chrome but not in Firefox. The basic idea in Chrome is that the longest word in each columns stretches the td or th to appropriate length in order to preserve space. But in Firefox input elements seem to completely ignore max-width and min-width.
I tried fiddling around with position:absolute on the input and position:relative on the th but Firefox ignores the latter mentioned as well.
How do I make it work?
th input {
min-width: 10px;
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Correct the problem here (FF 17.0.1).
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Regisc/PcKMJ/
I have been trying to resolve this issue on my own since Friday and I just don't seem to be having any luck. Hopefully with the following specifics, someone here can help push me in the right direction.
The site in question is http://www.jewelbyjewel.co.uk
The problem area: Top navigation menu
If you look at the menu in chrome, this is how the second menu appears:
This is how the menu SHOULD look.
In IE and FF, this is how the menu looks which is incorrect:
Now, I am aware I can fix this by explicitly specifying a width in the following stylesheet:
http://jewelbyjewel.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/ubermenu/styles/custom.css
I could change this:
#megaMenu ul li#menu-item-225 {
position:relative !important;
}
#megaMenu ul li#menu-item-225 ul.sub-menu-1 {
max-width: none !important;
}
to this:
#megaMenu ul li#menu-item-225 {
position:relative !important;
}
#megaMenu ul li#menu-item-225 ul.sub-menu-1 {
max-width: none !important;
width:400px;
width: 420px\9;
}
(width: 420px\9; is an IE9 hack).
While this does work I am wondering why I am having to specify individual widths when in Chrome this works without issues and I am not specified a maximum width anywhere in the CSS. I hate to admit it but barring using the hack as detailed above, this issue has me beat! I'm pretty certain I've either done something wrong or I'm missing something trivial. Either way, I would love to be able to get to the bottom of this and put it behind me.
Not sure if this helps, but your width behavior is affected by absolute positioning of the <ul class="sub-menu sub-menu-1">.
There is a bit more on the subject: div with unspecified width (absolute positioning), so specifying width or min-width is the way to go.
Here is my test case : http://jsfiddle.net/bpw98/15/
I have a div with overflow:auto, and a div inside it with a margin and a border. The inner div doesn't have its bottom margin in IE8, while it's displayed properly in Webkit and Firefox.
Opera renders it in a wrong way too:
The solution is in that browser: use padding in the outside box instead of using margin on the inside.
Here is the code
Unfortunately , it does not resolve the IE8 problem, I know. But it's a known bug , CSS 2.1 spec does not cover precisely how this testcase should be rendered.
Check this
Ok, I have a horrible hack for you:
div.outer:after {
content:"";
background-color: inherit;
}
This works for me but leaves a larger than 5px margin at the bottom of div.outer:
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/wwTnS/
To get past this you could target IE8 only (so not IE8 and below as IE7 works correctly for once) and set margin-bottom to about 1px...but then that is getting even more hacky. The code I have added above should not have any noticeable effect on any other browsers.
Extra Note
If you remove the background-color and check the code in IE9's IE8 compatability mode then it renders fine and the margin-bottom is 5px. However, in my emulator (which is usually quite accurate), the margin-bottom is back to 0 if you do not add background-color.
As commented by tildy, the problem is already documented. I think I found a working solution, but it requires extra markup: I added a div between outer and inner, with a 5px transparent border. See http://jsfiddle.net/bpw98/19/.
I tried to add padding to outer instead, but it didn't work either. The rationale between that is: "the scrollbar lets the user scroll content, and only content". So the scrollbar stops where content stops, even if there's padding or margin after that.
Instead of margin on div.inner maybe you could try setting padding: 5px on div.outer
Ironically jsfiddle doesn't seem to work in IE8, which is quite funny.
Anyway, I had the same problem just now and went down the route of using :after on the inner element to inject content where the bottom margin should be:
div.inner {
margin: 5px 5px 0;
}
div.inner:after {
content: " ";
display: block;
height: 5px;
}
jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/bpw98/41/
However, this only works if you don't need that red border. I'm not sure if it was there just for the purpose of showing the issue or you actually need it? If it is needed, I'm afraid this answer won't work.
I removed the height of the .outer div and it worked for me !
Propably it doesn't work because your inner div is higher than 100px;
This site has an issue with the center content portion. For some reason in internet explorer just a couple of letters are being cut off by the sidebar. I have no idea why, or how to fix it. The div floats right, so I figured adding a few pixels of margin to the right would do the trick. It doesn't...
It's this way on IE8 and I'm actually running IE 7.4 through parallels on a Mac.
Any suggestions?

In an ie.css you have:
#content, .sidebar { overflow: hidden; }
which is clipping the text in IE only. So if you remove this rule the text will no longer be clipped. It is possible that this rule exits for a reason though, so you might want to test the whole site before just deleting it.
Edit: I would also fix the validation errors as well as I have had unexplained rendering issues on different browsers in the past which were caused by invalid markup.
Edit 2: The #content parent <div> has a defined width (and is overflow:hidden) but a child <div> also has a defined width and its position makes it greater than the right edge of the parent and is therefore clipped by the parent's overflow rule. So as an alternative, you could make the .rightbox narrower to avoid the overflow hiding in IE.
.custom #content .box-wrapper .rightbox {
float: right;
width: 451px; /* <-- change this */
margin-right:5px;
}
I don't know why that happens, but adding a padding-left: 3px anywhere that applies to it fixes it.
Just a quick question regarding CSS positioning. I have several "segments" on my site which are 100% wide (fills the screen), and I want them floated next to each other. So only the first one will be visible, the other ones will be off-screen. I've tried playing around with positions and the overflow property without luck. Right now they just pop down below each other instead of floating.
This would work perfectly if the elements did not exceed the screen width, but as they do, they just pop down as I said earlier. I've tried setting a huge width to the "wrapper", something like 99999px. And then setting the segments to 100%, but that will just fill the whole 99999px width instead of the screen.
Any ideas?
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/
Do you mean like this?
Example Fiddle: here
I used my favourite alternative to floats, inline-blocks
if you actually take it out of the fiddle it has some pretty (gaudy?) colours which show that it allows for the min-width: 900px; on the centered_content div to work too, and I removed the absolute positioning for the menu so the content would go below it, for demo only but you may find it useful..
let me know if any good or if you have any questions
Updated with some jQuery and to make corrections for default word-spacing
New Example: here
re: the IE6/7 hack rightly mentioned in the comments;
.segment {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
width: 0;
}
.segment {display: inline !ie7;}
needn't be a "parse hack" if that's your preference as long as that second rule is given to [lte IE 7] somehow, and separately at that it cannot be combined into the original rule with the * hack or anything, it won't work.. has to be in a separate ruleset.
I discovered word-spacing might be a problem if relying on width to hide, the natural behaviour of inline blocks is to put 3-4px between the elements like the space in between words, the workaround to this is to correct the word-spacing on the wrapper
.segment-wrapper {
white-space: nowrap;
word-spacing: -4px;
}
then restore it normal for the actual content divs, same place as you would restore the normal wrapping behaviour
.centered_content {
width: 900px;
margin: 0px auto;
background: #fcf;
white-space: normal;
word-spacing: 0;
}
and last, apart from this was fun.. there's 2 effects in that new fiddle - uncomment and comment the other.. forgive me I was playing! :)
The meaning of float is to try to float to the right or left unless there is not room for it.
This means that you cannot ever float an element off the page.
If you need to keep the element off the page, you will need to use a different positioning mechanism like position: absolute.
It sounds like you're creating a horizontal one-page portfolio. I've recently been working on something similar.
Using your fiddle I've set the .segment class to
.segment {width:90%;height:90%;position:absolute;}
and then offset each left positioning further off the screen
#home {background-color:red;left:5%;}
#work {background-color:yellow;left:105%;}
#portfolio {background-color:green;left:205%;}
#contact {background-color:blue;left:305%;}
http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/2/
I also added some jQuery logic to switch views for the divs.
I'm still not entirely sure which segments you want to start off the page but this jsfiddle uses positioning to shove the #two div off to the right: http://jsfiddle.net/EdAZP/1/
Which part of your example did you want to start off the page?
Did you try to just hide the other elements and toggle them with some javascript (jQuery is much easier)?
