I'm having the weirdest issue in IE (7, specifically) when implementing CSS borders. I first noticed this a few months ago.
The CSS is literally this: #donate {border:1px solid #299ae5;}
As you can see from the attached image, both of these screenshots were taken in IE7, from the same website, different pages - same template file. It's like the border has a "tail" in the bottom left corner.
Does anyone have any insight about this???
Edit: Here is the HTML (although I've seen this also on random sites in IE7 recently on input fields as well)
<li><span>Donate</span></li>
And here's the CSS:
li { display: inline; }
li a { color: #fff; display: block; float: left; margin-right: 8px; padding-right: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; }
li a span { background: url(bg-gradient.png) repeat-x 0 0; border: 1px solid #299a35; padding: 1px 5px 2px 4px; }
Thanks in advance!
I tend to use display:inline-block...the only other thing I'd change is making the anchor the button rather than the span. here's a quick example http://jsfiddle.net/3x4fR/2/
Does giving the li a span element the display: block; declaration do the trick? It may be having trouble applying vertical padding to an inline element.
jsfiddle makes testing stuff easy.
If you don't need the span get rid of it if not try *zoom:1 or some other way to give 'hasLayout' to the element. see example here http://jsfiddle.net/ShaggyDude11/zbZr8/3/

When I use the following CSS, I go from the output of the image at the top to the image at the bottom:
.menu-border {
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 30px 0px;
border-radius: 4px;
}
The purpose is to have a larger hover area for the mega menu, otherwise the mega menu disappears when the mouse is between the ''Assessment'' menu and the mega menu box. However, when my padding is at 30px, all the menu items shift higher up. What would I need to add to keep this large box (the edges will be white - I put black so it is easier to see now) without affecting the rest of the menu?
edit1: the menu is generated from the pearl theme for wordpress. The .menu-border is an added css class for the ''assessment'' menu.
If we could get a working snippet it would be easier to help.
Also, there are two menus in your capture. I guess that adding the code it's the second one. Looks you're missing vertical-align property
.menu-border {
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 30px 0px;
border-radius: 4px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
I'm unsure what you're exactly looking for but have a crack at this CSS that's using the inline-block property -
.menu-border {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 30px 0px;
border-radius: 4px;
}

If someone ever face that problem, the solution was to replace my code with this
body .stm-header .stm-navigation__default > ul > li > a {
padding: 30px 30px;
}
I am currently trying to wrap my brain around a problem, but i can't seem to grasp it.
In an unordered list for a navigation, i want to add an icon before every list item via css before pseudo class.
<ul class="list">
<li class="list-item">one</li>
<li class="list-item">two</li>
<li class="list-item">three</li>
<li class="list-item">four</li>
</ul>
My first thought was to give both elements (the icon and the a-tag) display:inline-block and align the icon with vertical-align:middle. With just little adjustments (margin-bottom), this works well in chrome:
.list-item {
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 10px 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #F3F3F3;
height:1.5em;
overflow:hidden;
}
.list-item:before {
display: inline-block;
content: '';
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: red;
width: 5px;
height: 7px;
margin: 0 4px 0.125em 5px;
}
.list-item a {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 1.5;
height:1.5em;
}
But when you load the page in firefox, the icon is way off at the bottom. http://jsfiddle.net/pUhPB/4/
I tried what seems to me every possible combination of display, vertical-align and margin-values to get it right in both browsers, and finally, if i give the a-tag vertical-align:middle and the icon vertical-align:baseline, it seems to work:
.list-item {
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 10px 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #F3F3F3;
height:1.5em;
overflow:hidden;
}
.list-item:before {
display: inline-block;
content: '';
vertical-align: baseline;
background-color: red;
width: 5px;
height: 7px;
margin: 0 4px 0 5px;
}
.list-item a {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 1.5;
height:1.5em;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/L3N3f/
But i just don't get it. Why does the first version not work? To me, it seems way more logical than the version that actually works. And which one of both browsers doesn't render the elements the right way?
I already found a solution that seems to work for me, so it's not a very urgent question, but it bugs me that i don't understand the core of my problem (and the solution), so i would be really thankful if someone could enlighten me on this.
thanks
According to web standard only inline elements can be "vertically aligned" in spite that some browsers, like chrome, still align them. Note that it is the element that is aligned and not its contents!
So if you apply it to a <span> the <span> becomes aligned with the surrounding text and not whatever is inside it within in.
ispo lorem <span> text </span> due carpe diem
adding span {vertical-align:top; border: 1px solid black} makes <span> text </span> (whole box) become higher than the rest of the text and not push the text to the ceiling of the box <span>.
The core issue here is that Firefox is very literal when it comes to web standard whilst Chrome adds a few implicit features like this one.
For more details click here.
EDIT: apparently if you use vertical-align:top ONLY on the <a> it also works.
Your problem is that per spec setting overflow:hidden changes the baseline position of an inline-block. Firefox implements what the spec says. Chrome does not.
So as long as your .list-item a is baseline-aligned, it will render differently in the two browsers. The only way to make the renderings the same is to make sure you don't baseline-align any inline-blocks with non-visible overflow, which is what your second code paste does (it's using vertical-align: middle on the inline-block).
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/pUhPB/6/
The first thing I do in these situations is to open the code in both browsers. Then I start removing CSS code until I can see the problem. Removing the margins and the vertical-align, both browsers have rendered the code differently. So I keep removing code until they're both the same. Once they were the same in both browsers, I then changed what I could to get the desired effect.
Here's the new CSS:
.list-item:before
{
content: '';
background-color: red;
width: 5px;
height: 7px;
margin: 5px 4px 0 5px;
float:left;
}
While working on a responsive design, I noticed that everything is responsive except for my unordered list. When I resize the browser, the list doesn't move or stay centered in its DIV. I've tried a bunch of things all day but simply can't figure it out. For context, #sitecontent is the container holding everything, #sitecontent .leftsidebar contains an image and the unordered list, and #sitecontent .leftsidebar ul is the unordered list. Can someone check it out and tell me what's wrong? Please visit my site at http://www.tommaxwell.me and view the source.
Try this CSS:
#sitecontent .leftsidebar ul {
position: relative;
top: -5px;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: 'Patua One', cursive;
padding-left: 10px;
}
#sitecontent .leftsidebar ul li {
margin-bottom: 3%;
clear: both;
border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
font-family: helvetica;
text-align: center;
}
My browser is adding some padding to the list, which is a pretty common thing for browsers to do. You might consider using a reset (meyer, yui), or just setting explicit padding/margin on the ul and li's.
I guess I was overcomplicating the whole thing, and in the process forgetting the whole point of responsive designs in the first place. Adding padding/margin around the list is absolutely acceptable to use in the case, as I'll use media queries at breakpoints. Don't know why I was making things so complicated in my head!
Hi update your css with mine actually i have given the horizontal padding to your .leftsidebar ul parent div and made some changes in its list-items and its working fine now.. see the attached image for your reference :-
CSS for till IPad
#sitecontent .leftsidebar ul {
padding: 0 25%;
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
#sitecontent .leftsidebar ul li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
display: block;
font-family: helvetica;
line-height: 25px;
margin: 2px;
}
And for iphone you will have to write the css :-
image reference for iphone :-
CSS for till IPhone
#sitecontent .leftsidebar ul {
margin-top: 10%;
margin-bottom:20%;
position: relative;
}
My Flickr gallery looks good in all browsers except IE 7. What else do I need to put in my CSS code for it to not look so lopsided in IE 7. I added the display: block but it didn't do anything.
a img {
display: block;
*display: inline-block;
float: left;
border: none;
padding: 3px;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid green;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
Right now it looks like this.
Is there something I'm doing wrong with the CSS? Should I be adding in something for IE so it can read it properly?
This is my site
This looks suspiciously like the ie step down bug.
Have you tried adding just display: inline?
I searched even more and found an IE bug arcticle and you have to make sure the line-height in the parent element is set to zero.
I'm styling a list of recent posts and images from a plugin from wordpress. I know there is a wordpress section but my question is to just get some advice as how to style this list.
The website is here
This is what it looks like now.
This is my CSS
.advanced-recent-posts {
list-style-type: none;
}
.advanced-recent-posts li {
font-size: .7em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 20px;
color: #761616;
margin-bottom: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 250px;
position: relative;
top: -35px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.advanced-recent-posts li a {
margin-left: 10px;
}
.advanced-recent-posts li img {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: -10px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #999;
}
and so far so good. But because both the image and the title & date are in the some They move together which is not what I want, but because it is a plugin I dont know how to change that. So I was hoping with the provided website and CSS that someone could help me just make that second line of each recent post follow directly under the first. Like in my design here.
#Bonjour: This is what I got doing the
.advanced-recent-posts li { display:table-row; vertical-align:top;}
(and of course with all the other styling I had on it)
The post titles are at least flowing right.
Some weird positioning going on there. Anyway, there are two ways to make this happen:
Float the image left, add a bit of right/bottom padding. This way text naturally flows under the image
Take advantage of the relative positioning on the li and set position:absolute on the image, while giving the li enough padding to move the text from under it. This way text will never flow under the image
Examples: http://jsfiddle.net/Ucrsk/
Try modifying the style of the anchor ie.
.advanced-recent-posts li a {
display: block;
margin-left: 10px;
}
Just to reiterate from my comment in your question, try using:
li {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:top;
}
OR
li {
display:table-row;
vertical-align:top;
}
