firefox dosen't support div width - css

I have a problem with Firefox to show this: (But IE show correctly)
<div id="main_div" dir="rtl">
<div dir="rtl">
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl"> Text! </div>
</div>
<div dir="rtl">
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl"> Text! </div>
</div>
<div dir="rtl">
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl"> Text! </div>
</div>
</div>
======================================
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div.main_div{
border: dotted;
border-width: thin;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
background: #ffffaa;
border-color: #FFCC66;
width: 100%;
float: right;
}
div.outer_div{
float: right;
padding-bottom : 5px;
padding-top : 5px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
width: 33.3%;
border: dashed;
border-width:thin
}
Why this happened?! tnx

You can't have pixel based padding when using % based sizing. Even IE doesn't get it right. If you look very closely (and change the size of the window), there is a white space to the left of your first div. When you add padding, it adds to the size of the div itself, so you have a div of 33.3% width + 20px (left-right). IE interprets this incorrectly and gives you a seemingly usable result. Firefox interprets this "as is" and you get the floated div.
What you need to do is apply padding to sub-divs inside your layout divs:
EDIT: Style Elements
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div.main_div{
border: dotted;
border-width: thin;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
background: #ffffaa;
border-color: #FFCC66;
width: 100%;
float: right;
}
div.outer_div{
float: right;
width: 33.3%;
border: dashed;
border-width:thin
}
div.textformattingclass{
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
}
HTML Elements
<div id="main_div" dir="rtl">
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl">
<!-- remove all content formatting from the style for the outer_div
and place it in a style for this sub-div //-->
<div class="textformattingclass">
Some text!
</div>
</div>
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl">
<div class="textformattingclass">
Some text!
</div>
</div>
<div class="outer_div" dir="rtl">
<div class="textformattingclass">
Some text!
</div>
</div>
</div>

You are missing the closing tag for the outer div, and also, no div should have the same ID on the page... You should be using the class attribute :)

My CSS isn't being applied to elements with IDs

I am trying to have a background box behind my text and I cant get it to work. I have done this before and it worked fine, but I can't see where I have gone wrong this time. I have checked to make sure I have linked the CSS to the HTML correctly by changing the background-color, which worked.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="SiteIcon.ico">
<title>Navigation</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/style for SubNav.css">
</head>
<body>
<h2><center><font color="orange" size="7">Navigation</font></center></h2>
<center>
<div id="1">The Online World</div>
<div id="2"><p>Animation</p></div>
<div id="3"><p>Creating an app</p></div>
<div id="4"><p>Mini Game</p></div>
<div id="5"><p>Gallery</p></div>
<div id="6"><p>Be Creative</p></div>
<div id="7"><p>About me</p></div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body {
color: black;
background-color: black;
margin: 0;
}
#1{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
The problem is not with the HTML / element ID - browsers have supported the "lenient" ID for a long time, which is why it is part of HTML5. While the HTML4 specification is different, if this was a major breaking change it wouldn't be in HTML5 - 'nough said.
The real issue the CSS selector, not the element ID. A CSS selector that begins with a number must have the number escaped.
That is, #1 is an invalid CSS selector while #\31 is valid - and matches elements with id=1.
This is a CSS parsing rule, for backwards compatibility now, and not an HTML or ID restriction. See CSS character escape sequences for gritties on escaping "odd" CSS selectors. Or see the w3c token/lexing train tracks. (For example, the selector to match id=1hello is #\31 hello, with the space - good grief!)
The corrected selector can be verified with this fiddle:
<div id=1>Hello world!</div>
#\31 {
color: blue;
font-size: 30px;
}
That being said, I avoid element IDs that are not trivial CSS selectors to avoid this extra work.
While ids can technically be numbers (in HTML5), it's got weird support in browsers because of backwards compatibility with the HTML4 spec.
ids should start with a letter for compatibility.
<div id="a1">The Online World</div>
and
#a1{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
works as expected.
Element IDs can't start with numbers. As soon as you change that, everything is good: http://jsfiddle.net/gr5956br/
body {
color: black;
background-color: black;
margin: 0;
}
#a1{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
<body>
<h2><center><font color="orange" size="7">Navigation</font></center></h2>
<center>
<div id="a1">The Online World</div>
<div id="a2"><p>Animation</p></div>
<div id="a3"><p>Creating an app</p></div>
<div id="a4"><p>Mini Game</p></div>
<div id="a5"><p>Gallery</p></div>
<div id="a6"><p>Be Creative</p></div>
<div id="a7"><p>About me</p></div>
</center>
</body>
Your original version with numbers (just so you can see that's the issue):
body {
color: black;
background-color: black;
margin: 0;
}
#1{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
<body>
<h2><center><font color="orange" size="7">Navigation</font></center></h2>
<center>
<div id="a1">The Online World</div>
<div id="a2"><p>Animation</p></div>
<div id="a3"><p>Creating an app</p></div>
<div id="a4"><p>Mini Game</p></div>
<div id="a5"><p>Gallery</p></div>
<div id="a6"><p>Be Creative</p></div>
<div id="a7"><p>About me</p></div>
</center>
</body>
You can also style the div's for less markup. And then style each link as needed. http://codepen.io/dfrierson2/pen/RNoWZe
body {
color: #fff;
background-color: pink;
margin: 0;
}
div {
width: 7%;
background: #fff;
}
#1{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="SiteIcon.ico">
<title>Navigation</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/style for SubNav.css">
</head>
<body>
<h2><center><font color="orange" size="7">Navigation</font></center></h2>
<center>
<div id="1">The Online World</div>
<div id="2"><p>Animation</p></div>
<div id="3"><p>Creating an app</p></div>
<div id="4"><p>Mini Game</p></div>
<div id="5"><p>Gallery</p></div>
<div id="6"><p>Be Creative</p></div>
<div id="7"><p>About me</p></div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Do you mean something like this?
HTML
<body>
<h2><center><font color="orange" size="7">Navigation</font></center></h2>
<center>
<div class="background-box" >
<div id="One">The Online World</div>
<div id="2"><p>Animation</p></div>
<div id="3"><p>Creating an app</p></div>
<div id="4"><p>Mini Game</p></div>
<div id="5"><p>Gallery</p></div>
<div id="6"><p>Be Creative</p></div>
<div id="7"><p>About me</p></div>
</div>
</center>
</body
CSS
body {
color: black;
background-color: black;
margin: 0;
}
#One{
width: 7%;
margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
padding: 2%;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.90);
position: relative;
}
You shouldnt use numerical numbers for ID's. Replace with characters and you will be fine.

CSS - HTML - 2 float columns

I've run into a problem.
My code now:
<div style="width: 500px; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black;">
<div style="float: left; border: 1px solid black;"><b><u>TEST</u></b></div>
<div style="float: left; margin-left: 20px; border: 1px solid black;">A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A </div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
And it seems like this now:
When the word in the second div is as short as can be placed after the first div, it's in one row, like this:
My goal is to get this design, when the decond div is longer. I'm not allowed to use WIDTH and FLOAT: RIGHT because the inner divs have to de dynamic!
Like this (PhotoShop):
Thanks for the help in advance!
Is this what you looking for
I removed the float:left from the second inner div and increased the margin.
<div style="width: 500px; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black;">
<div style="float: left; border: 1px solid black;"><b><u>TEST</u></b></div>
<div style=" margin-left: 60px; border: 1px solid black;">A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A </div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div></div>
Hope this helps
No width allowed ? OK here is a try:
AFAIK you can't do that with float without having a few width properties. Same with relative positioning of a "column": you still need a width and margin-left on the second column.
A solution is using CSS display: table; and table-cell (nope, not HTML table ;) ). It's as flexible as you want.
http://dabblet.com/gist/1717860 will show you an example (HTML is separated from CSS, an id was added for clarity but isn't really needed and deprecated element u was removed and b replaced by strong. But CSS font-weight: bold; would be better, without context)
#main {
display: table;
width: 500px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
#main > div {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dashed black;
padding: 1em;
}
#main > div + div {
padding-left: 20px;
}
EDIT: compatibility IE8+
display: inline-block; is a good fallback for IE6/7. Well display: inline; zoom: 1; in fact, as IE6/7 doesn't understand the inline-block value but can achieve the same with inline+hasLayout)
<div style="width: 500px; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black;">
<div style="float: left; border: 1px solid black;width:50px;"><b><u>TEST</u></b></div>
<div style="float: left; margin-left: 20px; border: 1px solid black;width:420px;">A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A </div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
This is close to what you wanted. I just set the width for the inner div's. Also, you forgot to close the first div tag.
Float the first box left and give it an fix width. Then give the right div a margin-left bigger than the left div's width! ... and do not float the second div
Try:
<div style="overflow: hidden; width: 500px; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black;">
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 20px; border: 1px solid black;">
<b><u>TEST</u></b>
</div>
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
<div style="float: left; border: 1px solid black;">A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A</div>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/ZmRY2/5/
Is like a table cell, try this
<div style="width: 500px; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black;">
<div style="float: left;">
<div style="border: 1px solid black;"><b><u>TEST</u></b></div>
</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;">
<div style="margin-left: 20px; border: 1px solid black;">A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A </div>

Multiple Divs / Classes On an Opaque Background

My goal (and the question of how-to) is to have an opaque / white background with black fields over the opaque area to serve as content holders. Here is what I have now:
/* translucent background*/
.background
{
width:950px;
height:1024px;
margin: 9px auto 10px;
background-color:#ffffff;
opacity:0.35;
filter:alpha(opacity=35); /* For IE8 and earlier */
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
z-index:0;
}
/*content wrapper*/
.content
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11px;
width:950px;
height:1024px;
margin: 9px auto 10px;
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
z-index:1;
}
/*one of three content fields*/
.anounce_bar
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 16px;
width:940px;
height:225px;
float: left;
border: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: black;
border-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
z-index:2;
}
<div class="background"></div>
<div class="content">
<!--Top announcement bar-->
<div class="anounce_bar">
</div>
<!--Left side nav bar-->
<div class="nav" style="height: 1024px; ">
</div>
<!--Right side content window-->
<div class="content_window">
</div>
</div>
Right now its showing the anounce_bar below the translucent background.. how do I get the bar (and subsequent nav & content_window) to go on top of .background?
Note: I have other content, including a top 'masthead' image and a background JPG that might be screwing with this.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Update:
This was an issue with opacity inheritance - the work around I used is described very well here
'background' class became #background without any opacity, and a new item was added:#background .transparency with absolute positioning and opacity.
<div id="background">
<div class='transparency'></div>
/*OTHER STUFF*/
</div>
Change the order
<div class="anounce_bar"></div>
<div class="background"></div>
That should work.
<div class="background">
<div class="content">
<!--Top announcement bar-->
<div class="anounce_bar" style="color: white">Anounce Bar</div>
<!--Left side nav bar-->
<div class="nav" style="height: 24px; width: 940px; background-color: green; float:left;">Nav</div>
<!--Right side content window-->
<div class="content_window" style="height: 24px; width: 940px; background-color: yellow; float:left;">Content Window</div>
</div>
</div>
Sample Code

CSS: Sidebar div will not stay in place!

I am attaching my HTML and CSS hoping that someone can help me. Basically I have a right sidebar div where the content will not push to the top. When I play around with position and height properties, the content just floats all over the page and doesn't even stay in the right sidebar. I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I have looked at numerous posts and nothing I try seems to work.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="head">
</div>
<div id="menuTop">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
border: 10px solid #000;
}
#content {
float: left;
width: 750px;
padding: 0;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
border-right: 1px dashed #fff;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
width: 250px;
}
CSS Box Model 101 - the actual width of a div (or any element) is width + padding + borders
So your two floated divs add up to 1001px
the content div # 750px + 1px border is actually 751px wide, make it's width 749px and all should be well
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
border: 10px solid #000;
}
#content {
float: left;
width: 750px;
padding: 0;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
border-right: 1px dashed #fff;
display:block;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
background: url("bgbg.jpg");
width: 200px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="head">head
</div>
<div id="menuTop">
</div>
<div id="content">ssss
</div>
<div id="sidebar">ffff
</div>
<br style="clear:both;" />
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>

Position div boxes with css

I want to achieve this:
I want to display boxes, one main box and below each box a smaller box as you can see in the picture. I define this with the following html structure:
<div class='content'>
<div class='box'>
<a>test</a>
<div class='money'><div id='maxnumber'>
<h3 id='max'>max</h3><h3 id='digit'>0000</h3>
</div></div>
<div id='numbereuro'><h3 id='digit2'></h3>
<h3 id='euro'></h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class='utility'>test</div>
</div>
Here is a working example that shows the result without the smaller box: http://jsfiddle.net/
.box names the bigger box and .utility the smaller box below bot wrapped in .content. I use the following css:http://jsfiddle.net/76fXa/
.content {
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 11px;
float: left;
}
.utility{
position:relative;
height:50px; width:100px; background:red;
}
.box {
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
background: #BBE3A8;
font-size: 11px;
float: left;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.box {
position: relative;
padding: 5px;
width: 180px; height:auto;
cursor:pointer;
}
and I get the following result: http://jsfiddle.net/76fXa/1/
any ideas?
How about this quick fiddle I just made for you.
http://www.jsfiddle.net/ozzy/F3K8k/
Both .box and .utility should be put in another floated div so that they both are constrained within. Just a simplified example
<div id="content">
<div class="section">
<div class="box">
Large content area
</div>
<div class="utility">
Small content area
</div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="box">
Large content area
</div>
<div class="utility">
Small content area
</div>
</div>
</div>
(attempting to preserve your class names where practical)
You could then set the inner divs to display block so that they fill the constrained area and set a fixed width to section (I will use 50% for demo purposes)
.section
{float:left; width:50%;}
.box
{display:block;}
.utility
{display:block;}
Set the other style properties as needed, and remember the box model when adjusting padding and margins. Sometimes applying too much or too little of either can break off to a newline if something is set wrong.
From what you provided I can't see why position relative would be necessary. If it was intended as an attempt to make the layout you demonstrated then I'd suggest removing it, unless for some reason you are absolutely positioning something within that div relative to it.
EDIT: Didn't realize you had two content divs and a fiddle posted.
