i am trying to fix a site I am helping a friend with, and in IE it is displaying the navigation bar like it is stacking on top of each other.
Is that a part of the double float bug, I tried adding display:inline, but I still have that problem.
URL: http://www.flanels.com/RadiantecHOME.html
CSS: http://www.flanels.com/style.css`
I saved a local copy and modified #top-navigation to remove float: left;.
That seemed to make the top menu render the same in Firefox and IE, I have no idea what other problems it may have created however.
One of the problems I'm seeing in both IE and Firefox is that there are white vertical bars (breaks between the images) in addition to the slanted ones which I believe are part of the images.
The other thing is that if the browser is not wide enough, the top level menu does wrap as necessary.
Doesn't look like double float to me.
From what I can see from IE dev, the <li> in IE have neither the display nor float applied, but it the style '#top-navigation ul li' is bound because the margin is being set to 0. I see that you're using the transition doctype so I'd start by changing that to strict if you can to get out of the difficult-to-predict quirksmode.
As smiller points out you don't need float and inline, so you should then remove one of them, then I suggest start simplifying the code to find what the conflict is.
Hopefully changing to strict will sort you out straight away.
you have a float left on the containing div.

I am trying to figure out what keeps throwing off the positioning of my navigation menu on a site I'm working on. I have added an image just below my menu to accentuate it, which displays perfectly in Chrome.... however the div expands and locates itself below the logo in Firefox and IE. I've tried and tried and just can't seem to figure it out. If I eliminate the image it works perfectly, but with it... not so much.
Example: http://espritduvin.ca/ (View in different browsers to witness my issue)
Give your floating containers a width, e.g. 320px for the left container, 633 for the right one.
Try giving the image float:right, at the moment it's not given any css at all.
Firefox is rendering a clear on the header-right-section. Change the style for both left (logo) and right sections (nav bar) of the header to display: inline-block.
And I would suggest using Bootstrap for CSS in the future.
try to put proper width to header-right-section, i think it will work. Right now there is only float value.
If you are using bootstrap, you can put this right and left in 2 columns.
I have a problem with extra spacing after floated elements in Internet Explorer <= 9.
It is the only browser that renders this page with some extra spacing after the HEADER, if some floating is present within (If I remove floating - spacing goes away as well)
I know that I could use overflow: hidden and yes, it solves the problem, but in this particular case I cannot use it, because I have a drop-down menu in the header. Otherwise, I would have used it already.
I tried using this "clearfix" solution: http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/, but it didn't work.
Is there any simple solution without dirty hacks that would fix the issue ?

P.S I'm only interested in supporting IE9 as the lowest version. Everything less can just go to hell
P.P.S
For those, who didn't notice any difference.
Turns out that since #content has display: table attribute, #header should also have one, according to IE :)
Crazy stuff.
I have an extremely strange problem in IE that I can't seem to track down. I have two boxes, both floated left, with a margin-left on the right box to give some spacing between the two. In Firefox (of course), it all displays correctly, but in IE when the page is first loaded, the boxes have no separation (no margin).
Here's the crazy part. If ANY CSS changes on the page at all, the box magically jumps to the correct position. And when I say any, I mean any. I modified the final font name of 3 in the font-family list of the body tag, and the box shifted to the correct position (this wasn't a change that would even modify the look of anything on the page).
I could post my HTML and CSS on the page, but it's fairly routine. I just wondered if anyone had come across or heard of this problem in the past? Incidentally, IE8 seems to render it fine.
Thanks.
Follow-Up:
So I was able to at least patch the problem by floating the box on the right to the right, and removing its margin-left property. Because my container div is just wide enough to accommodate the two boxes, this works for my situation, but it wouldn't be nearly as nice if the two boxes weren't contained so tightly in their container div.
Older versions of IE can be pretty buggy about how they handle floats. Try defining a width on your floated elements. This will help make the layout more explicit (so harder for IE to misunderstand) and trigger hasLayout if you haven't already (a weird internal IE property that causes a lot of layout bugs).
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:

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.

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.
I have been working on a site for a client and I am about to wrap it up.. but unfortunately IE6 is being a pain in the buttocks.
My main problems are on this page:
http://seaport.bythepixel.com/#storage
The list items dont have bullets
The spacing below the floated items are not being cleared correctly. I applied "clear:both" to my h2 tags and it is clearing.. but the spacing bellow the floated items doesnt seem right. If you compare any other browse with IE6 you will see the spacing issue I am speaking of.
maybe this is just an IEtester problem, but the background image I have applied to "#full" stops and starts randomly. You can see this on the storage page and the floor plans page. I am referring to the gray to white gradient that separates the left navigation column with the right content column.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated!
1) and 3) are clearly the hasLayout bugs. You need to give the elements in question a "layout". Start with giving the #full a position: relative; (validates) or a zoom: 1; (doesn't validate).
2) is likely caused by odd use of overflow: hidden; here and there. Try removing it all and see if that helps.
When you set an overflow (hidden if possible) to all floated elements there might already be a lot of problems solved.

I can confirm i see this on a machine with IE6 only installed.
