I have a drop down menu on: http://whitehornguard.com/ but in at least IE7 the drop down part is appearing underneath the large header image, I have tried changing the z-index & using !important but it doesn't seem to be making any difference..
What am i doing wrong? Thanks.
This is a known issue with IE. There is a trick to workaround it.
Try wrapping the menu with additional container with the following styling:
<div id="wrapper" style="position:relative; z-index: 1000;">
<div id="menu" style="position:absolute; z-index: 999;"></div>
</div>
Please notice that the menu's z-index is less then the container.
For more details please check: http://brenelz.com/blog/squish-the-internet-explorer-z-index-bug/
The problem is, that IE just requires some use of position. So the z.index will just be used, if position is present. For an element, you don't want to give any positioning-rules, just try to set position:relative
You wrap your nav in a div with inline styles. Add z-index:1000; to it. It fixes the issue.

I have an absolutely positioned form that appears roughly 200px below where it should be on the page load. If I open up Chrome Dev Tools and disable and re-enable any CSS image it goes where it should be.
This only happens in Google Chrome.
I've tried using the chrome specific CSS rules below but it doesn't work.
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
How can I fix this?
Here is the page in question: http://info.iconixx.com/Iconixx-Incentives_imc_incentives1.html
It's likely nested in a different element then your wanting it to be. Make note of the parent element.
Find the element in which that header image is coming from. Likely <header></header>
Then make sure that element is defined as position: relative;
Within those tags have the relevant mark-up of the element you are trying to position within this area.
<header>
<div id="absoluteelement">
</div>
</header>
Now when you do:
#absoluteelement {
position:absolute;
top:50px;
left: 200px;
// more
}
It will be positioned top and left coordinates from the parent element, so top and left from the top and side of <header> just double check your code and nesting. Also, make sure you have all widths and heights defined for that area. Hope this helps.
I think you should really take a look how your markup is structured and consider reformatting it. For 1 the left box in the banner comes after the Form which is on the right. Just like anything else you should build left to right.
<div id="banner">
<div id="left_content"></div>
<div id="right_form"></div>
</div>
You could then....
#left_content{ float:left; }
#right_form{ float:right; }
This isn't going to give you the exact look you want... but using this approach will really help eliminate thse types of issues to begin with.
There are my codes. (jsfiddle)
Why this part of my codes isn't running?
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;}
I want to add background color to header tag. What i need to do?
The issue here is that since the elements inside your header are floated, they're considered in a different flow than your header, and thus it doesn't resize to fit them.
One way to fix this is to append <div style = "clear: both;"></div> to your header; little demo: little link.
You can also just add overflow: hidden; to your header: another little link, or float it as well: yet another little link.
you can set Height for Header.
for example :
header{background-color: red; height:100px;}
and you can use "clear" like this :
<header>
<div id="info">
<h1>Oyunn.in</h1>
</div>
<div id="categories">
<p>Barbie - Benten - Senten</p>
</div>
<br clear="all"/>
</header>
and css:
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;}
#info{float: left;}
#info h1{font-size: 100%;margin: 0;}
#categories{float: right;}
#categories p{margin:0;}
use overflow:hidden
header{background-color: #2bd5ec; overflow:hidden;}
The overflow CSS property specifies whether to clip content, render scroll bars or display overflow content of a block-level element.
Using the overflow property with a value different than visible, its default, will create a new block formatting context. This is technically necessary as if a float would intersect with the scrolling element it would force to rewrap the content of the scrollable element around intruding floats. The rewrap would happen after each scroll step and would be lead to a far too slow scrolling experience. Note that, by programmatically setting scrollTop to the relevant HTML element, even when overflow has the hidden value an element may need to scroll.
The overflow declaration tells the browser what to do with content that doesn't fit in a box. This assumes the box has a height: if it doesn't, it becomes as high as necessary to contain its contents, and the overflow declaration is useless.
SEE DEMO
Add
header{background-color: #2bd5ec;width:100%; height:30px;}
Background attribute usually needs div's dimensions
actually you didn't clear your child floats so whenever we are using float so we should clear the floats and we can give overflow: hidden; in our parent div to clearing the child floated div's.
header {
background-color: #2BD5EC;
overflow: hidden;
}

a little css problem that i cannot quite find on SO - although I assume it has been asked before, apologies.
So, here is the html:
<html>
<body style="color:white">
<div class="a" style="width: 70%; background: blue;"><p>helloes helloes helloes</p></div>
<div class="b" style="width: 70%; background: pink;"><p>talk talk talk</p></div>
<div class="a" style="width: 70%; background: blue;"><p>yay! yay! yay!</p></div>
</body>
</html>
lovely.
If i open this in ff, i get three vertically stacked divs - but with space in between them! This is not what i wanted! Drama-rama!
ie renders this as i'd expect, which raises some alarm bells.
ie is 9, ff is 11
cheers,
andrew!
UPDATE a lot of mentioning the "p" tag - why/how is the p tag affecting anything? Isn't it wrapped by the div, and the div has the background color applied? Shouldn't, in fact, the div just be internally bigger, but with no space between adjacent divs?
UPDATE:
So i tried this html instead:
<html style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
which didn't fix the issue, and also this:
<body style="color: white; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
which also didn't fix the issue - shouldn't the css be inherited by the "p" tag in both cases? Interestingly, i also examined the resultant css with firebug, and the p tags all have a margin and padding of 0...
ideas?
UPDATE: a lot of responses asking me to set padding to 0. This doesn't work. Any more answers stating that and i'll down vote 'em.
UPDATE: the question is really specific about using inline css. I don't actually care for inline css myself, but why is everybody providing css stylesheets for their answer?
UPDATE: somebody mentioned -webkit, and while i'm not using a google chrome at all, it is an interesting idea. I cannot see any ff related extra css that might be causing this problem, anybody have any ideas?
I tried it with Chrome and saw the same behavior. After looking at the underlying CSS (F12), Chrome is applying the following two lines to the <p> tag:
-webkit-margin-before: 1em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
If I add the following to the css the blank lines go away:
-webkit-margin-before: 0px;
-webkit-margin-after: 0px;
Hope that helps!
Basically the P tags are by default taking margin. Add css
p{margin:0px; padding:0px;}
This is because of the auto-generated margin of a <p> element.
Firefox (and others) do this differently than IE.
You can "reset" this simply by doing a p{margin: 0} in your css.
You can do the same for all elements at once (which I recommend) by simply adding * { margin: 0; padding: 0;} in your css.
Small tip: Install a browser extension to inspect the behavior of your elements such as Firebug.
Your <p> tags have vertical margins. Vertical margins in CSS collapse, so that child margins can sometimes apply to parents. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins
I resolved this be specifying a CSS 'line-height' I just set it to the same as the font size and then I got consistent DIV spacing across all browsers.
The problem is though that header's top margin is ignored as long as topBar has position:fixed (So when the page loads, header is pretty much hidden below topBar).
How do I fix margin-top being ignored?
Thanks in advace..
As far as I understand from your question you are trying to give position:fixed only to topBar. Please find my pseudo code to answer your problem.Try adding position fixed to the outer header container so that both the top bar and header stays fixed.
<header style="position:fixed;">
<nav class="top-bar">
</nav>
</header>
use this if problem is still remain then share code
#header
{
position:fixed;
top:0px;
width:100%;
height:30px;
}
Set the header's top margin to the desired value plus the height of topBar.
Any ideas how I get rid of white space on my IE browser. It is caused by a hidden div. When I remove the div the white space goes. Works fine in FF.
Here is the DIV:
<div class="hidden" id="popup">
<div>
<H1 class="center" id="popupTitle"></H2><br/><br/><br/>
<div style="position:relative; display:inline;">
<p id="popupText" style="float: left"></p>
<img id="popupImage" style="float: right"></img>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here are the styles associated with it:
.ofCommunications .hidden { display:none; visibility: hidden; }
I am also trying to get the p and the img inside the third div to display on the same line but that doesn't seem to be working either.
Thanks in advance

The spacing problem is most likely caused by your improperly closed tag ("") as well as using both display: none; and visibility: hidden;
Visibility will cause the element to still take up space so you need to get rid of that style.
If you make those adjustments it should work unless you have other issues not seen in the code provided (for example: your parent container to .hidden having a misspelled class name).
Tips:
Never create space with < br/ > tags. They're only used for breaking text.
Get rid of display: inline; and position: relative; on your other < div > as it doesn't make sense to have it there (relative positioning is default).
Lowercase all of your tags. Uppercase tags are a thing of the distant past and not ideal.
A couple of comments. Once you clean this up it might help to resolve this and other future headaches:
Remove your inline styles and put them in a stylesheet.
What is that second div doing under the hidden div? It looks redundant and unnecessary to me. Remove it.
If you're floating elements then you'll need to clear them down the track. This could be why you have things floating in the wrong spots.
Have you display:block'ed the p element next to the image and given it a width? Otherwise it's not going to float anyway.
Your h1 should not be uppercase.
Hope those few suggestions help out a bit.
Try this to get the <p> and <img> lined up:
<div>
<p id="popupText" style="float: left"></p>
<p style="float: right"><img id="popupImage" /></p>
</div>
I removed the position: relative because it's not needed with the code you provided, and the display: inline because it doesn't make sense to make the div inline.
Have you checked the widths of the parent elements? If a width is set too small on a parent element there will not be enough space to render your paragraph and image on the same line. This could cause your paragraph and image to render on different lines.
