It goes without saying that I'm not having any issue with modern browsers. Here is my page code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<body onload="initializeWidgets();">
<!-- ### Banner ### -->
<jsp:include page="part_banner.jsp"></jsp:include>
<!-- Extra space occurs here... -->
<!-- ### Filters and Table ### -->
<div class="G_overallContainer">
<div class="G_subContainer">
<div class="G_subContainerSection">
<h:outputText value="Filtering Options" styleClass="G_subContainerSectionHeader"/>
<!-- ...here... -->
<!-- ### Filter bar ### -->
<jsp:include page="part_filters.jsp"></jsp:include></div>
<!-- ...here... -->
<div class="G_subContainerSection">
<h:form id="tableForm">
<div class="table">
<h:dataTable value="#{tableDataBean.data}" var="data"
headerClass="tableHeaders"
rowClasses="oddRow,evenRow">
</h:dataTable></div>
<!-- ...and somewhere after here -->
</h:form></div></div>
<h:messages layout="table" style="color:red;" showSummary="true" showDetail="false"/></div>
</body>
</f:view>
</html>
Here is my css for the nested div containers:
body {
margin:0px;
border:none;
padding:0px;
width: 100%;
}
.G_overallContainer {
position: static;
display:block;
border:none;
padding: .25em;
border-width: 0;
border-style: none;
border-spacing: 0;
}
.G_subContainer {
display: block;
border: none;
padding: .25em;
margin:0;
border-style: none;
background-color: #0f2d65;
}
.G_subContainerSection {
display: block;
margin: .25em;
border:none;
}
.G_subContainerSectionHeader {
font-style: bold;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
display: block;
padding: .5em;
background: url(../image/steel-blue.png) repeat-x;
color: #000000
}
It looks like there is about 10 to 15px extra space in between each of these elements in IE6. I am tempted to blame the div tags as I am aware that there are some IE6 bugs that cause issues like this due to extra white space within the divs, but the extra space only occurs after certain div tags like the two subContainerSections and after the banner which contains no divs. I have tried setting all margins to zero but that does not solve the problem. It is as if there is something BETWEEN the margin and the border of the offending elements...
What do you guys think?
edit:
Threw my DOCTYPE up there for clarification
Here is an extremely cut down version of my page: link. If you view it with IE6 you will see the separation of the "filters" header from the body.
If you could throw up an example on jsFiddle that would help a lot, but I do know that IE6 has problems with horizontal spacing that can be fixed by settings the elemnts zoom,
.myhorzel{
zoom:1;
}

This is my css code what should i add to reduce the size of the link to where its just the word is a clickable link?

This is my html code.
Move where you do your float.
Change your style from this:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
li {
float: center;
}
li a {
:
:
To this:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
float: center
}
li a {
display: block;
color: Black;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
:
:
Notice that I removed the "li" style altogether... also remove the style application on the UL tag itself. The CSS is sufficient.
I would recommend that you spend some more time working on some html and css basics while you are trying to fix this problem. I see a lot of errors in your markup and your styles that, although they may not be related to this particular issue, do make it harder to isolate just this behavior that you want to modify. The Mozilla HTML introduction is a good place to start.
Particularly you want to make sure that your HTML document is structured correctly. Only one body tag, no display content in the head tag, proper sets of opening and closing tags, etc. Focusing on these fundamentals makes debugging your code a lot easier (for you and others).
You are also trying to set a few css properties with values that don't actually exist, such as float:center.
As for this particular behavior you are seeing, this happens because it is the default behavior for block level elements to fill their container 100%. So your list items are stretching all the way across the screen, and you have set your anchor elements display: block as well, so they are stretching all the way across the screen. Try removing display:block and text-align:center from the anchor elements and just setting text-align: center on the li instead. (It is not necessary to set display: block on an li because that is it's default value.
You can see a very simple example here in this codepen.
I am trying to display a page with different styles based on PC or mobile.

Please help me find where it goes wrong or provide a standard way to do this.
Thanks.
Swap the two <link> elements. The generic stylesheets should go first, since their rules will get overridden by rules from more specific (device-specific) stylesheets that follow (if any).
You should also place the <link> tags inside the <head> tag - otherwise your HTML is heavily malformed. There's a lot of code in WebKit that tries to handle this as gracefully as possible, though...
<div class="HeaderLink" id="Home">

#HeadPanel

}
.HeadPanelElement

/* or
padding: 10px; */
}
the real factor here is the display: inline; which will layout the div in a side by side fashion.
You are using 'left:' but you didn't include 'position:absolute'? Try that maybe it might help.
position: absolute; will help you get that interesting layout.
For declarations like left and top to make any sense, you need to apply them to positioned elements:
#foo {
position:absolute;
top:10%;
left:25%;
}
Your elements don't appear to have be positioned as absolute or relative.
There are many other problems with your markup as well that will cause many, many problems. All of your markup should go within the body tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Foo Example</title>
<style type="text/css">
#foo {
position:absolute;
top:10%; left:10%;
background:yellow;

There are a few things going on here:
The A element is inline, and things will sit right next to each other, like BlogVideosHomeContactAbout MDB1, as I am sure you have already seen.
This LOOKS like a list or menu, so use the appropriate markup. List markup would be best, or if you want to try HTML5, there is already the NAV element with is specifically for that purpose.
I notice that you are not using URLs in the a elements. It is better to use something which will not generate a 404 on the server.
Why are you bothering with target="_self" unless you are using frames, and if that is the case, please Google for Frames are Evil. If not, then A) _self is redundant, B) if you are using a Strict doctype, the target attribute is deprecated for accessibility reasons.
Naming your CSS file index.css might get you in trouble if the server is configured to use index. with ANY suffix to as the default page. Better would be something like style.css.
Now to get these things going across, you can go a few ways:
/* CSS using line list markup */
#HeadPanel ul {list-style-type:none;}
#HeadPanel ul li {display:inline; padding:.25em 1em .25em 1em}
/* CSS using floats list markup */
#HeadPanel ul {list-style-type:none;}
#HeadPanel ul li {display:block;float:left;margin: 0 .1em 0 .1em;padding:.25em;}
#HeadPanel ul li a {display:block; /*what ever else you want to do */}

The styles from the css .browser and .callout are not visible in IE6 unless I manually remove the position:relative style from subPopout. This div is generated automatically from a modal popup so I unfortunately can't touch this style. It displays fine in FF. If I select the .browser div with my mouse, it displays when I unselect it!
Why are these styles not visible in IE6
To be short, because it's IE6!
Can the box have a fixed height?
If yes, a possible solution would be to set a fixed size to upSubPop element. For example, if you add:
div#upSubPop{background:red;height:500px;}
to your stylesheet, the blue borders are displayed correctly in IE6.
Another workaround would be to set the height of <div class="browser" style="height:1px;" /> to 1 pixel. In this case, IE6 displays the element with appropriate height based on contents (so you will see the whole "Me afecta que digan que soy incapaz." message. The problem is that the real browsers as FF will then display everything incorrectly (to be more precise, the message will overlap the bottom border). So in this case, you can use conditional CSS to ensure that your message block is displayed as required both in real browsers and in IE6.
