So I just moved from the design phase to the developing stage and after splitting up my static code to codeigniter views on a client server I got this weird css but on 1 tiny part of the website.
I have these links part of the "Official NGK Canada Part Finder" section and my text is breaking from the same line on my new server.
Instead of showing code extracts here is the link to both sites:
http://gfortin.com/css_practice/page.html (works fine)
http://www.sparkplugdepot.com/dev/index.php/home (unaligned)
Everything works perfectly from what I can tell so far, can anyone help me find this bug?
Also I did clear the cache to make sure it wasn't the old code still showing up.
Because you are floating elements within your .link-wrap, you must clear those to make them look the way you want.
.link-wrap {
height: 40px;
margin: 2px 50px;
position: relative;
clear: both;
}
As to why, I'm not sure. However, I'm curious as you may have noted, your navigation is 4px taller on one. If you look at the computed styles, one is 55px, the other is 51px. What os's are on these servers?

I'm building a Wordpress website by customizing and editing an existing theme called 'onetone'. It's an one-pager theme. The problem I'm having is that neither the homepage (the one-pager landing page) nor the individual posts/pages will extend to full height.
Under the footer, there's a thin black line 23 pixels in height, that extends 100% of the width.
Here's the quirky thing: while I'm logged into the site as an admin, the line disappears. When I'm visiting as an unlogged, regular user the line is there. All major browsers (FF, Opera, IE, Chrome). Also, on my sister's computer with FF installed the line didn't show even when unlogged.
I've searched StackOverflow, and the usual answer to have <body> and <html> set to height:100%; (including min-height:100%;) isn't working. I've also added height/min-height to containers and wrappers to test the setting. (Not all, though, only the ones I thought were relevant to the issue I was trying to solve) I've also tried the margin: 0; & padding: 0;, but NOTHING works.
I suspected it's the footer's fault, but using the inspect element function in my browser (and some further tests) I found the footer has nothing to do with it.
In the original, untouched theme, the line doesn't appear. So it must be some of my edits causing it, though even by comparing the original and my edited CSS file line by line, I couldn't find something that should've caused this error. And the CSS is the only thing I've edited.
I'm not a coding expert, and I've about exhausted my wits and available knowledge trying to figure this out. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this glitch?
This is my site. The glitch is best seen on posts / pages. If any specific code samples are needed, just say and I'll post them.
Your code has this weird image just before the <body> tag ends, after all javascript calls:
<img src="http://pixel.wp.com/g.gif?v=ext&j=1%3A3.4.1&blog=50532064&post=651&tz=1&host=firstinkstudios.com&ref=http%3A%2F%2Ffirstinkstudios.com%2F&rand=0.7281985701993108" id="wpstats">
Remove it and you're golden
There's a background color on body. Getting rid of that fixes the "border".
body.custom-background {
background-color: #000000;
}
Also there's a smiley on the bottom
It looks like this
<img src="http://pixel.wp.com/g.gif?v=ext&j=1%3A3.4.1&blog=50532064&post=444&tz=1&host=firstinkstudios.com&ref=http%3A%2F%2Ffirstinkstudios.com%2Fblog%2F&rand=0.1907386933453381" id="wpstats" scale="0">
Wondering if anyone can help with an IE8 issue, I've searched high and low and tried many different things. On a WordPress site for a client, an input text box appears much smaller than it should, and off to the side of the page, as compared with all other browsers I've tested.
You can see a grab of how the page looks on IE8 (on Windows 7) here:
http://perfectitaliano3.fonterra.safecom.com.au/wp-content/uploads/grab2.jpg
If you compare that to the page http://perfectitaliano3.fonterra.safecom.com.au/recipe/potato-rosemary-and-speck-pizza/ in a modern browser you’ll see the width and placement of the search box and filter dropdown menu at the top right is all messed up.
I'm a bit a noob at IE8 issues, but I’ve tried changing the css, patching it with modern.js, html5 shiv, modernizr, all sorts of things, but nothing makes any difference!
If you have any suggestions please let me know, thanks.
Try this
#top #s{
height: 40px;
padding: 0px 47px 0px 5px;
}
Thanks so much for answering #Jenti. I tried your suggestion but it didn't seem to work, although because it's now live I tried it in the developer tools in a virtual machine version of IE8, so one can never be sure ;)
However I've since found a solution, I added the following:
#searchform > div {
width: 500px;
}
#s {
display: table-cell !important;
}
and that seemed to do it. Thanks again and appreciate it.
I'm working on my new online portfolio at http://asbjorn.org/ny/, and I've come across the weirdest issue!
Every time you open the page for the first time, the next and previous buttons for the slideshow don't appear. If I open the inspector, they pop up immediately, and they also appear when reloading the page.
They're pretty standard html elements, not added dynamically, so I have NO clue as to why this happens! Of course I can't have the site visitors reload the page just to see them. :/
I really hope someone can help me! :)
update: seems like it's a chrome only issue. For me it happens consistently in chrome on both Win7 and OSX. A few of my friends also has the same issue (probably in chrome on osx)
So I'll take a stab at an answer. When I see the problem in Chrome 22, and I bring up the inspector, I note that the #previousLink and #nextLink divs have a width of 0 in the broken state. Try setting an explicit width for these in your CSS, or make the nested image use display: block.
#previousLink { width: 31px; }
#nextLink { width: 37px; }
or
#previousLink img,
#nextLink img { display: block; }
I think the combination of these inline items and your overflow: hidden rule are biting you. I think. This is a tricky bug!
I have a website page that uses tables for layout and I am trying to convert it to CSS (never used before)
The navigation is 6 forms with different images placed besides. I know I can give each of these an id and position using css but there must be a less clunky way?
I was wondering If I can create a class which specifies the links position relative to the previous links position, and maybe set the first one manually?
Thanks :)
Purists would say that tables should only be used for tabular data. Your site is not tabular data, it's a layout, so using a table here is a hack. It's a perfectly fine hack if it works, but it may not ultimately be the cleanest solution.
The pragmatic part of me (which is much bigger than the standards Nazi in me) says there might be a cleaner approach using CSS. This could eliminate the need to clutter your source with unnecessary table cruft. You really have two divisions, each with paragraphs containing images, links, and text. It would be ideal if your HTML didn't have to contain anything but that.
If you use CSS well, you can get exactly that result:
http://www.aharrisbooks.net/demo/sample.html
Use 'view source' to see the HTML and CSS code.
A few notes:
I used the 'fieldset' element (which is supposed to be used in forms, but it works well here)
I guessed on colors
Modify the CSS to get exactly the effect you're looking for
I (obviously) used only one icon, but the same effect will work for the whole page
Only one div is needed (even that isn't necessary, but it looks nice to center content on the page
What I like about this design is how clean it keeps the HTML.
Best of luck, and feel free to drop a line if you have questions.
PS for more fun, add the following CSS3 syntax to the fieldset
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #333;
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #333;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #333;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
These attributes add rounded corners and drop shadows for a very nice effect. It won't work in IE, but the other recent browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and most mobile browsers) will see really nice effects. Yay for CSS3!
Try div.classname { float: left; width: 200px } and give the container object the same or different width - experiment with this until you're satisfied
While jimplode will not disagree with me, tables are still a valid element in HTML. You can even emulate them with DIVs using the CSS styles display: table (see quirksmode for browser compatibility). So unless the design is a maintenance nightmare or there is some other really pressing reason to change the layout, keep it.
Getting CSS right for most browsers can be a nightmare, especially if you need something "special". Say several elements on the same line with the same (automatic) height.
If you're new to CSS, look for an example that works and start to modify that.
If you're doing this for a public website, get Firefox 3, Chrome, Opera, IE6, IE7 and IE8 and test it with each of them.
Here is an image of the current layout using tables. It's simple but all the information I can find on css talks about multiple columns. I think I only need one? And maybe two divs?
img208.imageshack.us/img208/7038/layoutsz.png
The styles:
h2 {
color: #71D0FF;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;
}
a.box {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
cursor: pointer;
display: block;
padding: 10px;
text-align: justify;
}
a.box:hover {
background-color: #0C0C0C;
}
a.box span.down {
display: block;
color: #D04242;
float: right;
font-size: 11px;
margin-left: 5px;
}
a.box span.up {
display: block;
color: #71D013;
float: right;
font-size: 11px;
}
span.noob {
color: #FFA142;
}
span.pro {
color: #A142A1;
}
The HTML (this is basically repeated for each link):
<a href="/library/blaze" class="box">
<span class="down">-0</span>
<span class="up">+0</span>
<h2><span class="noob">NOOB</span> BLAZE</h2>
HAS CREATED 0 MAPS, WON 0 BATTLES, AND LOST 0 MAPS
</a>
What I'm not understanding is why it renders differently in Firefox occasionally. Sometimes it shows up like it's supposed to and sometimes it shows up in this weird format as seen here:
I've never had anything like this happen before, does anyone know what's causing it? Does it even do this for anyone else? Like I stated before, sometimes it loads just fine (exact same HTML, CSS, and everything) and sometimes it doesn't. It seems kind of random. It loads just fine in IE with no weird problems at all.
Interesting. I can definitely reproduce it on FF3.6, actually I'm getting the broken version more often.
I can't get my head around it right now, but looking at it in Firefox, there is something broken with the link. If you open "inspect element" in Firebug, you will notice that the rendered DOM definitely changes between the intact and broken view. Firebug will also add _moz-rs-heading to the link, which is sort of explained here.
The first step should definitely be making the markup W3C valid and checking whether it still occurs.
I am a bit surprised that it doesn't act up more than it does.
You have put a block element (h2) inside an inline element (a). The markup is broken, and different browsers will do different things to try to make the best of it. One thing that can happen is that the browser adds an ending tag for the link before the block element.
Us an inline tag instead of the h2 tag, and use CSS to style it to look the way you want.
I'm having the same problem.
http://www.jameshughbanks.com/
I've narrowed it down to this. It ONLY happens when I put a link around multiple elements (in my case it involves one (or more) block element(s) and one (or more) in-line elements.
It is very odd as in it seems to only affect "every other" "error" you create using the method I described above. It will modify the first and third div output but not the 2nd. (at first it affected the 2nd one only, but I partially fixed the problem (it used to mess up the H2's also, but putting the link around the h2's only removed them from getting the error.
So it comes down to only being able to put a link around 1 block element, I haven't tested the error with more than 1 block element, only the mis-match of a block element and multiple in-line elements.
If anyone has any work-arounds for this issue in firefox please let me know. It does not appear to happen in IE, Opera, or Chrome.
Also for those that think this is bad markup, it is included to be valid in the next revision of html5, and it is the only way (without javascript/etc) to do these types of links. Firefox is obviously coded to show this markup properly but for some reason has some type of bug that makes it render it differently sometimes due to unknown reasons. Regardless it needs to be fixed or a work-around developed, I could make each element its own individual block and probably fix it, but that's a lot of extra unnecessary code.
Works fine for me in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox 3.5.
I've tried refreshing repeatedly. No luck in duplicating your problem. Have you tried clearing your cache?
Inspecting the element in Safari or Web Developer (FF plugin) does not reveal anything unusual either.
Is N00B BLAZE always the one that messes up every time you see an issue or is it random?
For me, sometimes Firefox doesn't properly load CSS, it's usually all of it, not partially like it's happening to you. For me tho it's loading correctly. Have you recently changed it by any chance and didn't allowed to properly refresh?
When I buzzed your site, the problem occurred for me in FF3.6. Using Firebug to peek at the HTML, the problem was that the lines that display incorrectly have an extra <a> wrapped around the text, within the <span>. Maybe some HTML included in your DB where it should only be text?
