ie7 and google adsense absolute positing - html

I have problem with displaying adsense ads in ie7
google adsense adds an iframe to display ads with id google_ads_frame1 with position:absolute the problem is this absolute position makes the ad stay there even if the page size changes (in ajax)
so how can i force it to have position:relative, i tried wrapping it in div and applied every possible property like positions, display, wrapping the whole content in a table, floats, zoom, height & width.
i also tried adding a css below the adsense
<!--[if IE7 ]>
<style type="text/css">
#google_ads_frame1 {
position:relative;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
can anybody please help me, this thing has made me crazy...

the ads got unpositioned only when the page resized so everytime a function that cause change in size of the page i added one more javascript to it.
var googleAds = document.getElementById('googleAds');
googleAds.style.paddingTop= '1px';
googleAds.style.paddingTop= '0';
it you have better solution please let me know

you should be able to wrap the iframe with a div set with position:relative. are the elements on the page that change size with ajax set with position:absolute or floated as this may cause issues too.

I've had the same problem and I 'fixed' this by removing a 'background-color' on a wrapping div. Don't ask me why, this has to be the weirdest IE bug ever :)
The wrapping div encompasses almost everything on the page and is fairly unrelated to the table cell that contained the AdSense banner, I have absolutely no idea why this background-color had any effect on the positioning of the banner.
I found this 'solution' by just stripping the page bit by bit. At one point almost all HTML was gone but the problem still persisted. I the removed the CSS file after which the banner behaved normally. Then started stripping the full CSS until I found the line that (seems to) have caused the problem.
Making a proper test case of this is still somewhere on my list but haven't come around to doing that. Also pretty unsure that this is a generic solution. Main advise for now: If you see this problem, remove all CSS and see if that fixes the problem, if it does figure out what part of the CSS seems to be responsible and get rid of that :)

Text outside div in Safari only

I have this bug that let some text appear a few pixels outside a div on the right side. The strange thing is that it only happens in Safari. I've never seen it before and it's just regular HTML/CSS what I have used. I've looked around on the internet but I can't find the exact same problem - only some problems with content floating out at the bottom, because of a fixed height.
In the next 2 screenshots you'll see the same page in Safari and Chrome. The div has a overlow:hidden to hide a possible third line of text. I added fixed widths when trying to solve the problem. I also tried to add/remove some margins, but I can't get rid of the extra pixels.
Here is a full link to this page. It happens in this section of the website only. In other sections - like this one - where I use the same format with little differences, but the same CSS idea (fixed width with overflow:hidden), there is no bug in Safari.
I hope you have some ideas!
Removing position:absolute from

cross browser css (100% height)

I'm creating a website and have a problem with the way it displays in different browsers. I'm testing using Chrome, iOS and IE8. The site displays correctly in the first two, but not so in IE.
The website in question is http://www.edalemill.co.uk/
Can anyone help point out what's wrong with my CSS to solve the problem?
Thanks!
I have taken a look and can replicate the issue.
I would suggest removing the
overflow:auto; from the #stripper
You have also used body more then once as well in your CSS, I would suggest having only one lot and tidying up your code.
Possibly consider using this as a base which should help you:

UPDATE
Otherwise for your code do the following for the CSS
#sidebar {
position:fixed;
}
I would recommend making that IE8 code only though
If you take out the height:100% on #container the background image fills up the rest of the text area for the about page.
Let me know if this helped.
Update
It might just be easier to have another CSS tag for the content areas that scroll. The height:100% works on those content areas that don't scroll, however, they break on those that do. My recommendation, even though it might not be the best way, is to either make a second CSS tag for the content areas that scroll, or just simply make the image bigger.

webpage items change size when zoom in and out

My page, it keeps on getting different menu width when i zoom in and out. It is fine in IE, and no one else. I did not spot any fixed positioning, this seems to be using relative position.
have tried playing and disabling all CSS property to my menu bar through google chrome inspect element.
turn this from none to auto: " -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto "
Tried to use em ex px for my font-szie and padding. I am juiced out of ideas, save me internet!!!

Try zooming out, you will find press room gets pushed down. I got this SimplyBiz theme from wpcrunchy. It seems even the paid version have this problem too. The CSS and html is way too large to post, too much bloated codes, i think is sufficient to just use chrome inspect element.
I took a look at the site, and my opinion is that the css and js that make up the menu functionality are creating a 6th menu element. That would explain why an extra little tab is hanging off the end there. Since it doesn't have any content, the browsers are all handling the whitespace a little differently.
Did you by any chance modify the menu to take it from 6 elements to 5?

Why does Ie7 mysteriously cut off the top border of these notification paragraphs?

I'm having problems in ie7 with notification's that are styled using the p tag. I've used them before and they render fine in IE7, however, in my latest theme, they cut off the top border with no change to the code which is giving me a major headache trying to figure out.
Here's the problematic page, the notifications are at the bottom of the page.

It's annoying because I've used the exact same html and css here in this theme

Can anyone see what the problem with the buggy version is?
You have triggered some bug in IE7, but I'm not sure which one...
The difference between the pages is that you have specified a width for the notification elements in the page that works. If you specify a width for the elements in the other page, they work too.
Forcing layout seems to do the trick. You can read more here:

Try adding this:
<style>
.notification { zoom:1; }
</style>

Internet Explorer 7 css/html float bug

The problem is a footer on a web page that seem to not follow the correct flow like it does in FireFox. The problem feels like it is an Internet Explorer related bug, because the layout will "magically" snap into place when i move the mouse over the link "Legg til i handlelisten". On pages where the "description" part of the page is longer then the left column, the footer displays correctly. From what I can gather the bug is only active in IE8 when its running in "IE8 Compatibility Mode" or "IE7 mode". I am not able to recreate the bug when running IE6.
I was wondering if anyone is able to find a solution to this bug, maybe some CSS property I can set or a tag that needs modification.
These two images show the error and what its supposed to look like:
http://tinyurl.com/layout-error
http://tinyurl.com/layout-fixed
The page referred to is here: http://tinyurl.com/yb9h34d
Edit: Clear: both; doesnt seem to do anything to solve the problem.
Yes... it looks like a float-caused problem.
Try adding this line into your HTML, just before the footer:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
I think it is expecting an item that clears the floats.
Try floating the div.container or remove it, as it is useless and a mild case of divitis.
In older browsers, the float property in CSS removes the height from the element. Therefore an element which is floated to the left or right which would normally have a height of say 100px would now have a height of 0px and whatever content is below it would move up to fill that space where the content is supposed to be. Most browsers have fixed that error by now, but it still reappears in even the modern browsers. There is a very simple fix that you can add to your footer container in the CSS:
clear: both;
This will cause the element to clear any boxes that may be floating around and start fresh on its own line, or should anyways. It never hurts to try.
Read more about the clear property: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_clear.asp
What happens exactly is that the left column gets shorter by a line when you hover the first link in the leggtilihandleliste div, and it gets longer by a line again when you hover the second link. It's only the left column div that is affected, not the link, the list containing the links or the div containing the list.
I don't know exactly why this is happening, but if you specify a height for the div containing the links, it stops happening (eventhough it's not that div that changes size).
Why does DIV#footer have display:none on it?
Anyway, if you float: left on .footerWithRightAndLeft you should be ok.
You can inspect things in IE if you hit F12, in case you didnt know. It's not as good as firebug, but it's something.
