(I'm looking at this site in IE 8.) As you can see the content floats center knocking the sidebar below it. It works perfectly in Chrome. I can't think why the float:left; command isn't working in IE.
#content {
margin: 5px 0 5px 5px;
font: 1.2em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width:65%;
float:left;
}
Thanks for your help.

If you add overflow: hidden to your ul#list-nav then that will prevent the floating navigation messing up the rest of the document.
As for why the navigation is displaying strangely, it's because you're specifying your widths and layout badly. What you should be using is this:
ul#list-nav {
overflow: hidden;
}
ul#list-nav li {
width: 16.66%;
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#list-nav li a{
display: block;
margin-left: 1px;text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 0;
background: #754C78;
color: #EEE;
text-align: center;
}
That way, the width of each element is exactly 16.66%, rather than 16.62% + 1px
what i currently see in IE8 is:
the problem is that menu links are too wide in IE. You've set the width to 16.62% to each anchor in the menu and that's too wide for IE. Since the width of your content is fixed I suggest you set fixed width in pixels (132px) for these links so they fit on one line and look consistent across browsers, also removing li style setting margin: 0.5em 2em to fix positioning problem in IE.
After my fix I see this:
To me it looks like theres nothing really wrong with the content.
In ie6-ie9 the menu seems to be failing in some way.
and also the menu goes in two rows which pushes everything down. I'm not sure if that is all due to the s letter or not at this point..
Note that the extra letter s seems to be somewhere between #menu and #content .containers.
Edit2: the problem is clearly the menu a width which is too much and the menu goes into two rows.
The way menu is often done is that the ulor outer div holds the color and then the menu li are either centered within that or just plain floated to the left. this way you get the full height feel without the tourbles of the menu braking like this ( though if you do it without ignoring the width.. it is possible with too many menu items and so on. )
add clear:both; on menu container.
note: is broken in Firefox to

I'm trying to center the menu bar and make the menu bar fit the text.
Here is a website I'm trying to edit:
http://www.graffitisumperk.g6.cz/blog/
I've already figure out that I can center menu items this way:
.menu {
text-align:center
}
.menu li {
display:inline-block;
float:none;
margin-left: -5px;
}
.menu li li {
display:block;
text-align:left
}
But I can't seem to fit the menu bar to the width of the menu items.
I've calculated it should be 445px long, but when I change this:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 960px;
to 445px, the whole page it affected, not just the menu bar.
Any ideas how to fix it?
You can do it very very similarly :). One of the effects of display: inline-block; is that the element attempts to resize itself to contain its children. You could achieve this with float or position: absolute as well, but those do not really fit into this layout.
.main-nav { text-align: center; }
.menu { display: inline-block; }
I guessed you might want to center the menu, so I added the text-align too.
Tip: If you use the inspector of your browser (all modern browsers have a pretty decent one), you can easily figure out which element you need to change.
When I looked at your page, it looks like the part you really need to change is the "main-nav" class.
The #container div contains your whole page so you don't want to mess with that one.
I have a div (#socmed) with an ul containing li's which i have positioned at the top right of my page. You can find the div inside the header tag. These are social media buttons by the way.
http://digilabs.be/tutu/collection.php
As you can see, it only shows up in chrome and safari (haven't tested in IE yet).
I have tried changing the z-index, because I felt like it got overlapped by the parent div, which is colored pink. But that didn't seem to work. I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance for all help.
In your main.css:Line 73
Add a width to the <li> item.
#socmed li {
list-style: none outside none;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 25px; /* Add this width..! */
}
This seems to fix your problem.
Your outer #socmed div has width: 25px, but your <li> within it does not, and by default it is larger then the 25px as specified on #socmed, so would not display.
2 CSS adjustments you can make. First make a relative container (not fully tested on your page, but usually a good practice...
header {
position:relative;
}
Second, define a width for your ul list items in your header...
#socmed ul {
width:30px;
}
Hopefully this helps
This issue is related to the width of div#socmed:
#socmed{
width: auto;
height: 125px;
position: absolute;
top:8px;
right: 40px;
}
Originally, you set width to 25px, and this was not wide enough to show your icons.
This question from:
ul, ol {
margin: 0 0 10px 25px; // to margin:0
padding: 0;
}
please don't in the ul,ol such values margin: 0 0 10px 25px; It is a gobal.
I have put relative div in relative container. It worked.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the text No Managers in Database vertically positioned in the containing div like the input elements are.
I tried adding padding and margin, but they didn't work. Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?

CSS
#none {
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 7px 0;
padding: 5px 0;
}
Basically, you just have to add display: block; to your CSS. I just took the liberty of changing the other styles to line things up a little better (and get the font the same size as the inputs).
Check out the gallery i'm building on a webkit browser..
notice that the words on the top right - available, sold, contact - which are part of a <ul>, are listed vertically.. even though on Firefox, they are listed horizontally because of ul {list-style-type: none;} and li {float: left;}.
Click "available", and notice that they neatly align horizontally. Use the back button or click "dubious" in the top-left corner and they stay in that neat horizontal alignment on the first page. Then refresh your browser, and it becomes vertical again.
.menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: auto;
}
.menu li {
padding: 15px;
float: left;
margin-left: 2px;
margin-right: 2px;
font-size: 20pt;
}
The font in the menu titles used with font-face definition causes this.

You may try "display:inline-block" for li's instead of "float: left;"
And why don't you use png images for menu titles?
I've got an issue I'm having with unordered lists in WebKit Browsers. This code is getting injected into a page that I don't own, so I can't really use a CSS reset, but I can't figure out what's causing my issue.
<div class='instruct'>
<ul>For best results please make sure:
<li>Your entire face including your eyebrows and chin are visible in the frame</li>
<li>Your face is well lit but please avoid excessive backlighting</li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS:
.instruct {
display: inline;
font-size:14px;
text-align:center;
padding-top: 10px;
padding:0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.instruct ul {
position: relative;
left: 30px;
width: 320px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
list-style: none;
}
.instruct ul li {
font-weight: normal;
text-align: left;
text-indent: 0px;
padding: 0px;
padding-top: 10px;
margin: 0px;
}
The result I'm currently getting in IE/FF is that all of the list items are properly aligned on the far left hand side of the UL content box. However, in Chrome and Safari, there is about 20px worth of space between the left side of the UL content box and each of the LI content boxes.
When inspecting the element in Chrome's developer console, the box highlighting affect is clearly about 20 pixels away from the left hand side of the the UL's left hand side. It's like there's 20 pixels of padding or margin coming from somewhere.
Given that padding and margins for both the UL and the LI are all zero, I can't figure this out.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
EDIT:
You can see a screenshot of it here:
Sorry... necro-thread.. but it likes to place high on Google searches for the topic.
Your inline-block (or inline) gets an extra 4px of space generated by default on the list item. Go up to the UL tag and add a font-size: 0
Problem solved.
try {-webkit-margin-before:0; -webkit-margin-after: 0; -webkit-margin-start: 0; -webkit-margin-end: 0; -webkit-padding-start:0}
check out http://codesearch.google.com/codesearch/p#OAMlx_jo-ck/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/WebCore/css/html.css if that doesn't work
There shouldn't be anything inside the <ul> tag other than <li> tags.
That goes for the text you have directly inside the <ul> tag - that is probably what's causing the problem.
This seems to be a problem with Chrome for Android.
The fix is to not set margin:0px; for the ul but rather set margin-left:0px; and margin-top:0px;.
