I have a div tag styled through CSS. I set the padding to 10px (padding:10px), it works just as I wanted in Firefox and IE7, but in IE6 it adds additional padding at the bottom (about 2-3px I think). Anyone has idea about what's happening here?
[update]
I just noticed this, the div tag I'm talking about has a background-image. When I removed the background-image, the extra padding on the bottom disappears. Any ideas?
[another update, code sample]
Here's the CSS applied to my div tag:
.user-info{
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
padding: 10px;
background-image: url("../img/user_panel_bg.png");
float:right;
border: 1px #AAAAAA solid;
font-size:12px;
}
Is there an image in your div? If there's an image, there's a bug in IE 6 that can cause white space within the div to create extra padding on the bottom
Extra padding shows up with
<div>
<img src="myimage.jpg">
</div>
Extra padding doesn't show up when you change your HTML to
<div><img src="myimage.jpg"></div>
I would highly recommend taking a look at the positioniseverything.net site and its coverage of IE issues and workarounds. Take a look at the holly hack section - I believe you will find the answer there.
[edit - added] take a look here for the 3px issue, explanation and fix
For box settings and browser difference, sitepoints box model article offers some good insight as well.
Have you tried hiding your DIV overflow? overflow:hidden;
Edit: You may also try display: inline; if you're talking about horizontal pushing.
Make sure font size is not creating the problem. Even with no text inside a container element (say for a bottom cap on a stretchable container) IE6 will still size the height of the box no smaller than the font size (even with an explicit height set.)
So, for example, if you have the HTML:
<div class="box">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>This is the main content.</p>
<div class="bottom"></div>
</div>
...you will need this CSS:
<style type="text/css">
.box {
background: url(bg-middle.jpg) repeat-y;
}
.box h1 {
background: url(bg-top.jpg) no-repeat;
}
.box .bottom {
background: url(bg-image.jpg) no-repeat; /* bottom cap image */
height: 10px; /* height of your bg image */
font-size: 1px; /* for IE6 */
}
</style>
potentially 'margin' or 'border' properties?
You can also look at something like a CSS reset style sheet which will let you set up defaults which should be reasonably consistent across browsers.

Using the display:table and display:table-row CSS attributes, I want my content to fill the remaining available height of a div. In case the content exceeds the available height, I want a scrollbar to be shown.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3HYJx/2/
The behaviour as shown in Google Chrome and Safari is the one I'm trying to achieve. However, Firefox and Opera show it differently. Haven't tried IE yet, but fearing the worst.
Why is this behaviour so different? And even better: how can I achieve what I want (as shown in Chrome) in every browser?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Chrome and Safari:
Firefox and Opera:
Using the table display properties, you could overcome the firefox problem by wrapping two more elements around the text of the scrolling section, so you have three:
the outer one is a table-row container that fills the rest of the table
inside which we have a relatively positioned container with height and width set to 100%, and with set vertical scrolling overflow-y:scroll;
the innermost container is absolutely with height and width also set to 100%
So here I just quickly added two div containers around your content paragraph (you could probably found a more appropriate set of containers according to your needs, but this will do for the illustration):
<div id="wrapper">
<h2 id="date">Date</h2>
<h1 id="title">A title ...</h1>
<div id="contentbox-outer">
<div id="contentbox-inner">
<p id="content">The content ...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And your whole CSS has to be modified. Your original selectors, with slight modifications:
#wrapper {
position:absolute;
display: table;
table-layout:fixed;
background-color:black;
padding:10px;
width: 250px;
height:350px;
border-spacing:20px;
}
#date {
display: table-row;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 25px;
background-color:yellow;
}
#title {
display: table-row;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 40px;
line-height:90%;
background-color:blue;
}
note that the table-row and table elements take now speciffinc styling for tables, like the border-spacing property that sets spacing between the table rows, and this you can now combine with the padding property of the table for the appearance you want.
And the styling for the added containers would be something like this (first is still based on your styling, the last two are the additional - inner ones):
#contentbox-outer {
display: table-row;
font-size: 12pt;
width: 100%;
height:90% !important;
text-align: justify;
background-color:red;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
#contentbox-inner {
position:relative;
height:100%;
width:100%;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
#content {
position:absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%
}
I also updated your fiddle for a quick check:
http://jsfiddle.net/3HYJx/7/
Edit: This works in browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, but for example not in Opera cause height: 100% does not get rendered in documents in strict mode. So with a little more research I found out that you can get it to work in quirks mode, here is a test html - the above code but in a quirks mode document. Thanks for giving me a reason to learn that, it's good to know =)
Working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3HYJx/3/
The problem is height:90% !important; you have set on #content.
You have fixed heights set on #wrapper, #date and #title.
If you set a fixed height on #content (since you have everything else with fixed height, so this won't be a problem) you will get the expected result in FireFox too.
Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/7zhLm/5/
The image inside is larger than the div supports.
Therefore it is cropping the rest (overflow-x: hidden).
I am trying to create a white border around the image, but it doesn't seem to work.
After checking what's going on there with dev tool I saw that the lower part overlays the white border.
How to I fix that?
I see you're using both overflow-x and overflow-y. You can just use overflow:hidden; as it works on any browser while -x and -y are not supported by older ones.
Anyway, to avoid it you can add another <div>. Check the live demo, and here is the updated code:
<div id="fixed_event_1" class="splashTabLogout" >
<div>
<img src="http://www.twospy.com/galleriffic/demo/Sample%202.jpg" width="300" />
</div>
</div>
.splashTabLogout {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
cursor: pointer;
background: #fff;
padding: 10px;
/* border-radius and box-shadow stuff */
}
.splashTabLogout > div {
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
JSFiddle
You tried to set a border with a padding. Change it to a 10px white border.
The HTML you have is fine. It's semantic, simple -- don't change it. Change the details about it, and fix the CSS, and you'll be rockin': http://jsfiddle.net/7zhLm/9/
CSS
.splashTabLogout {
border: white solid 10px;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,.22) 0 2px 6px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.splashTabLogout img { width:300px }
HTML
<div id="fixed_event_1" class="splashTabLogout" >
<img src="your-pic.jpg" />
</div>
Note: Including width/height inside an img tag is valid. Period. In a gallery of images, or anywhere else, where you may have multiple images with the same dimensions, it's often easier, and less code to declare the width/height from the CSS file. FYI
I want to wrap an image into an html DIV and, since I want this to be fully scalable with the size of the window, I want to set the width of the DIV in percentage as follows:
html
<div id="wrapper">
<img src="http://openclipart.org/people/netalloy/rally-car.svg" />
</div>
css
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
width: 50%;
}
#wrapper img {
width: 100%;
}
The image should determine the height of its container. This is because the image width is set to 100% and the image height is calculated accordingly maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
The result is visible on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/lorenzopolidori/5BN4g/15/
My questions are:
Why do all modern browsers render the wrapper DIV 5px taller than the inner image?
How can I get rid of this 5px gap, while still setting all the sizes in percentage and without using javascript?
Surprisingly, this happens in Chrome (21.0.1180.89), Firefox (15.0.1) and IE8, while IE7 renders it correctly, matching the height of the DIV with the height of the image.

http://jsfiddle.net/5BN4g/29/
It's a line-height issue :-)
You need :
#wrapper {
width: 60%;
background-color: #aaa;
margin: 50px auto;
line-height:0;
}
#wrapper img {
width:100%;
border: 1px dashed red;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
I used box-sizing to make sure the width of the image doesn't overflow the container
................
Hi now add vertical-align:top in your img tag throw css
as like this
#wrapper img {
width: 100%;
border: 1px dashed red;
vertical-align:top; // add this line
}
live demo
OK, fiddling about, I found a good possible solution:
#wrapper img {
display: block;
width: 100%;
border: 1px dashed red;
}
Changing from the default inline display to a block display eliminates the line-height problem straight away.
This approach is also semantically correct because in this case what we really want is a single image wrapped in a DIV without any other elements in it, so the concept of line-height needs to be completely wiped off by displaying the image as a block.
It works on all major browsers: http://jsfiddle.net/lorenzopolidori/5Cpf2/3/
I think you shuold set align property to force browser show correctly img tag.
<div id="wrapper">
<img align="center" src="http://openclipart.org/image/800px/svg_to_png/74557/rally-car.png" />
</div>
DEMO
I think is because it doesn't see as a Table
i added the display:table in your code
And it looks fine now, check the link
Example Display Table
Your issue is that an image -- the <img> tag, to be exact -- is an inline element. All you need to do is set display: block on the image and the extra padding goes away. Demo.
Can background image extend beyond div's borders? Does overflow: visible apply to this?
No, a background can't go beyond the edge of an element.
The overflow style controls how the element reacts when the content is larger than the specified size of the element.
However, a floating element inside the div can extent outside the div, and that element could have a background. The usefulness of that is limited, though, as IE7 and earlier has a bug that causes the div to grow instead of letting the floating element show outside it.
Following up on kijin's advice, I'd like to share my solution for image offsets:
/**
* Only effective cross-browser method to offset image out of bounds of container AFAIK,
* is to set as background image on div and apply matching margin/padding offsets:
*/
#logo {
margin:-50px auto 0 auto;
padding:50px 0 0 0;
width:200px;
height:200px;
background:url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;
}
I used this example on a simple div element <div id="logo"></div> to position my logo with a -50px vertical offset. (Note that the combined margin/padding settings ensure you don't run into collapsing margin issues.)
not possible to set a background image 'outside' it's element,
BUT YOU CAN DO what you want with using 'PSEUDO' element and make that whatever size you want and position it wherever you want.
see here :
i have set the arrow outside the span
here is the code
HTML :
<div class="tooltip">
<input class="cf_inputbox required" maxlength="150" size="30" title id="text_13" name="name" type="text"><span class="msg">dasdasda</span>
</div>
strong text
.tooltip{position:relative; float:left;}
.tooltip .msg {font-size:12px;
background-color:#fff9ea;
border:2px #e1ca82 solid;
border-radius:5px;
background-position:left;
position:absolute;
padding:4px 5px 4px 10px;
top:0%; left:104%;
z-index:9000; position:absolute; max-width:250px;clear:both;
min-width:150px;}
.tooltip .msg:before {
background:url(tool_tip.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
content: " ";
display: block;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
left:-10px; top:1px;
width: 20px;
z-index: -1;
}
see here example: http://jsfiddle.net/568Zy/11/
No, the background won't extend beyond the borders. But you can stretch the border as far as you want using padding and some clever tweaking of negative margins & position.
I understand this is really really late, and I am not even sure if this is best practice but I found a little way to do this with my footer. My last section had a background image that I wanted to overflow into the footer and I fixed it with a few lines of CSS. Also added a little padding the section with the background image.
footer{
background-color: transparent!important;
top: -50px;
margin-bottom: -50px;
}
I tried using negative values for background-position but it didn't work (in firefox at least). There's not really any reason for it to. Just set the background image on one of the elements higher up in the hierarchy.
After a little bit of research: No and No :)
What's the best way to align icons (left) and text (right) or the opposite text on left and icon on right?
Does the icon image and text have to be the same size? Ideally I would like them to be different but be on the same vertical alignment.
I am using background-position css property to get the icons from a larger image.
Here is how I do it now, but I am struggling with either getting them to be on the same line or be vertically aligned to the bottom.
Text
This is what I get after I try your suggestions.
Though the text is now aligned with the icon, it is superimposed over the icon to the right of the icon that I want. Please note that i am using the background position to show the icon from a larger set of images.
Basically I am getting
<icon><10px><text_and_unwanted_icon_to_the_right_under_it>
<span class="group3_drops_icon group3_l_icon" style="">50</span>
group3_drops_icon {
background-position:-50px -111px;
}
.group3_l_icon {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:transparent url(/images/group3.png) no-repeat scroll left center;
height:35px;
overflow:hidden;
padding-left:55px;
}
I usually use background:
<style type="text/css">
.icon {
background-image: url(path/to/my/icon.jpg);
background-position: left center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 16px; /* Or size of icon + spacing */
}
</style>
<span class="icon">Some text here</span>
You can do it on the same line using vertical-align and line-height
<p style='line-height: 30px'>
<img src='icon.gif' style='vertical-align: middle' />Icon Text
</p>
Alternatively, you can go the background approach with no-repeat and positioning:
span.icontext {
background: transparent url(icon.gif) no-repeat inherit left center;
padding-left: 10px /* at least the width of the icon */
}
<span class="icontext">
Icon Text
</span>
Sadly, neither of these answers are bullet proof and each have one big flaw.
#rossipedia
I used to implement all my icons this way and it works quite well. But, and this is a big but, it does not work with sprites, since you're using the background-position property to position the icon inside the container that includes your text.
And not using sprites where you can is bad for performance and SEO, making them imperative for any good modern website.
#Jamie Wong
The first solution has two markup flaws. Using elements semantically correctly is sadly underrated by some, but you'll see the benefits in prioritizing form in your search engine ranking. So first of all, you shouldn't use a p-tag when the content is not a paragraph. Use span instead. Secondly, the img-tag is meant for content only. In very specific cases, you might have to ignore this rule, but this isn't one of them.
My Solution:
I won't lie to you, I've checked in a lot of places in my time and IMHO there is no optimal solution. These two solutions are the ones that come closest to that, though:
Inline-Block Solution
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="icon"></div>
<span class="content">Hello</span>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
}
.container .icon {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
background: #000;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.container .content {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
"display:inline-block;" is a beautiful thing. You can do so much with it and it plays very nicely with responsive design.
But it depends on your client. Inline-Block does not work well with IE6, IE7 and still causes problems with IE8. I personally no longer support IE6 and 7, but IE8 is still out there. If your client really needs his website to be usable in IE8, inline-block is sadly no option. Assess this first. Replace the black background of the icon-element with your sprite, position it, throw no-repeat in there and voilà, there you have it.
Oh yeah, and as a plus, you can align the text any way you want with vertical-align.
P.S.: I am aware that there's an empty HTML-tag in there, if anyone has a suggestion as to how to fill it, I'd be thankful.
Fixed Height Solution
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
}
.clearfix {
display: inline-block;
}
html[xmlns] .clearfix {
display: block;
}
* html .clearfix {
height: 1%;
}
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.container .icon {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
background: #000;
float:left;
}
.container .content {
line-height: 30px;
float: left;
display: block;
}
I hate this one. It uses a fixed line height for the text, and if you choose the same height as the Icon's box, the text is centered to that height. To align the text to the top, cut the line height, and as to the bottom, you'll have to fix that with position: absolute and a fixed width and height for the container. I'm not going to get into that unless someone requests it, because it's a whole issue for itself, and brings with it a lot of disadvantages.
The main disadvantage of this path is the fixed height. Fixed heights are always unflexible and especially with text, it can cause a bunch of problems (You can no longer scale the text as a user without it being cut off, plus different browsers render text differently). So be sure that in no browser the text is cut off and that it has some wiggle room inside its line height.
P.S.: Don't forget the clearfix for the container. And, of course, replace the black background with your sprite and according position + no-repeat.
Conclusion
Use inline-block if at all possible. ;) If it's not, breath deeply and try the second solution.
