strange padding in FF

hi all,

i am trying to construct a layout with a footer. now FF shows much
larger padding than set in the css, it appears correctly in IE.
can anyone explain me what i do wrong here ?

here the essential css and html

div.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
padding: 3px 100px 3px 100px;
margin: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color: white;
}

div.footer p {
width: 100%;
font-size: 8pt;
}

<div class=footer>
<p>footer</p>
</div>

or see the result here

nevermind, apparently FF got confused by some css from the menu.
(which is strange since they are completely separated ), so killing the
menu brought back the normal flow.

Hello everyone I am baffled by the behaviour of a webpage that I am trying to design(when viewed in ie6). I believe the problem arises when I use floats(at least that is the only occasion when I notice it). My page is set up so that I have a content box centered, and a box to create an interior margin(both divs). I also want to have a third box which would float to the right. For some

I noted a particular behavior shown by IE. Look at the simple page attached at the bottom of the post. In it, there is a box floated with the float property and another box that jumps it with the clear property. Show the page in IE and highlight (using the mouse) some text in the blue box (include some line on the side of the gray box). Then click anywhere (out of the highlight zone). RESULT: some text lines (on the side of the gray...

Instead of giving the content column a left margin with the width of the menu, i am giving the content column a border with the width of the menu. (This makes life easier for me in the case that the menu column is higher than the content column). This solution works fine in all browsers i...

I was experimenting with buttons in HTML/CSS and encountered some strange behaviour when changing the padding property setting in the stylesheet. Maybe it's not a stylesheet issue, but since that's where changes made do result in problems, it's where I'll start to understand what is wrong. I have some hyperlinked text inside a box made to appear as a simple button. When I try to add more padding to the box to make it larger, this works OK...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
