I have a certain problem and searched through a lot of questions to find a solution but I just can not seem to fix it. The problem is as following:
There is the main "wrapper" div on the page (for centering reasons), and inside this is some text, images and a number of includes (footer, header etc.). The images are using "position: absolute" and using the CSS "top" and "left" property to offset them. However, Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 seem to start their offset from a different point, meaning the most of the images are just about 10px lower and 10px more to the right in IE7
What I've done to make sure;
- validated my html with the W3C validator (fixed everything)
- tried to replace position:absolute; with some position:relative;
- The position of the wrapper has been set as position:relative;
- would rather not want to work with a a specific stylesheet just for IE7 (so didn't try that)
- PS: used meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" to let my IE8 browser shows my project like it was in IE7
I'm really hoping you could help me out! Thanks in advance and hereby i'm giving the corresponding HTML and CSS

Thanks in advance again for anyone who could help me out!
the style.css file from the html5boilerplate will make all browsers have the same 'default' settings.. adding this css file to your site (as the first one to be loaded), might fix the issue.

What gives O_o
An XHTML file MUST have the xmlns attribute xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" in its html start tag or it will not be recognised as XHTML.
Opera's behaviour is non-standard.
The first line in your CSS file looks wrong:
#charset “UTF-8?;
Should probably be:
#charset "UTF-8";
I have a container box1 that has a certain width (which might change depending on its content). That box contains box2 which has a fixed width (it could be an icon). Next to box2, I have box3 with some text. I want the text to use all the space available to the right of box2. With the HTML pasted below, you get:
So far so good. If the text gets longer, it doesn't wrap around box2 (which is what I want), however, it doesn't make box1 grow, which is my problem. You'll tell me "hey, if you made box3 a position: absolute, how could you expect it to make box1 grow?". Well, I don't but then, how can I get box3 to show next to box2, use all the horizontal space available, and make box1 grow if necessary? (Do I need to say that I'd like this work on IE6 onward, and to avoid using a table?)

You need box 3 to be a block level element, so use display:block and then toss in an overflow:hidden in conjunction with float-ing box 2:

Amazing all the things overflow:hidden can do :D
There are a couple of ways to achieve this. Two common ones is either to have an empty element right after with a clear: both like so (inline css just for demo):
<span class="box1">...</span>
<br style="clear:both"/>
Another way is to use overflow: hidden like so:
<span class="box1" style="overflow: hidden">...</span>
However, there are problems with both of these solutions. With the first one you add unnecessary and ugly markup. And with the second if you want something to be positioned outside of your box (like a position: absolute) it won't be visible.
A more common, modern solution is to use the ::after pseudo-element and clear that like so:
.box1::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
I'd recommend the following:
#box1
{
position: relative; /* or some other positioned value */
}
#box2
{
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#box3
{
margin-left: 10px;
}
If #box2 is of a fixed size, you can simply use a margin for #box3 to prevent its overlapping of #box2, and since it's not positioned, #box1 will grow as #box3 grows.

The tutorial above is essentially what I want with a white column that extends to the bottom of the browser. In the tutorial it actually begins at the very top, with the header being a different shade of grey covering the white.
My case, the header would have to match the textured background. So, what I want is to have the container begin below the header. I don't know if it is possible because right now my header pushes the container down.

Only tested it in Firefox, though. :)
Updated: feel free to validate. :)
Updated v2: Had a problem when adding content inside the container. Fixed now, but had to do some more complex-ish stuff.
I have a web page with large div(for example white) and another div that is follows the previous one. The problem is that if white block is big enough and it height is almost or even bigger than the browser window(and scroll bars appear), the red block is in the bottom of the page there is still gap between red div and end of the window in Firefox/Safari/Opera:
But in Explorer/Chrome everything is ok:

How to solve this problem and have the same page without blue gap in Firefox/Opera/Safari.
Actual page:
http://109.74.203.141/stack/1/tmp.html
Your footerCopyright div is set to position: relative; bottom: 15px;
When I set the bottom to 0 it lines up on the bottom in FF.
I'm experiencing an issue with my CSS when working in Firefox. It should be pretty simple. Everything is working fine except that I cannot seem to get the links in the header aligned to the right (the color will change as well as any other modifications except alignment). The only way I can do it is to float it right, but that reverses the order of the links and seems wrong. Maybe there is a better way to deal with the links in the header than the span that I've used? I will have some more links in the header in another position, though, so I need to specify which links I'm referring to somehow...
Take a look at the code below:
First, the HTML:
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">#import "layout2.css";</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="all">
<div id="head">
<span class="headlinks">
Logout
</span>
</div>
<div id="menu">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>"
Now, the CSS:
/* Layout2.css */
#all {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0%;
top: 0%;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.headlinks a {
text-align:right;
color:#ffffff;
}
#head {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0%;
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
background-color:#336699;
}
#head h1 {
margin-top: 1%;
text-align:right;
}
#menu {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 1%;
top: 12%;
width: 20%;
height: 90%;
padding-left: 1%;
padding-right: 1%;
background-color:#b1b2a3;
}
#content{
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 25%;
top: 12%;
width: 72%;
height: 90%;
padding-left: 1%;
padding-right: 1%;
background-color: #eeeeee;
}
Thanks!
Change <span class="headlinks> to a <div>, and add text-align: right to its CSS style.
You want:
#head { text-align: right; }
The head div is a block element with 100% width. Headlinks is an inline element containing one link. text-align is used on a block element its contents, not on inline elements to indicate how to place them inside their parent.
An alternative approach is to make headlinks a block level element:
span.headlinks { display: block; text-align: right; }
Which to use depends on what you want to achieve.
Try putting the 'text-align:right' on the 'head' div rather than the 'headlinks' span. This style applies to block level elements like div, not inline elements like span.
