Firefox floating bug? - Page 3

tomasio

Dear Group,

The Site under the following link
(http://tomasio.laudatio.com/temp/schiepek/index.html) displays as I
want it to in IE 6 (under Win XP) but does not render correctly in
Firefox 1.0. As usually Firefox does HTML and CSS better than IE, I
would like to know what kind of mistake I made in coding the site.

I think it has to do with the "float"-property in the text selectors
(copy, h1, h2). the width of the text seems to be consumed by the
width of the image to its left in firefox :(

Please help, I need to fix this very urgently.

Kind regards

Funny, Opera does the same thing - the cursor starts on top.

The problem is not that cursor is on top. In fact, it has been in all
programs I have used. The problem was *signature* on top.

If one top-posts, that is the result, indeed.

If one manually clicks at the end of the message, then this problem is
avoided. If the technology does it for you, however, the result seems to
normally be that the whole thread is included with no snippage.

While tech that puts your cursor at the bottom prevents top-posting and
all the problems connected to it, it throws the baby out with the
bathwater in that the uninitiated user is deluded into thinking that
there's no work left to do.

I'd rather see people develop the ability to snip and bottom-post without
the technology than to install a technology that leads to nearly as many
problems.

Problem with clearing floats in Firefox

by: Niels | last post by:

Hi group, I have some problems with clearing floated divs. My usual method works fine in Konqueror, but not in Firefox. Here's an example: <html><body> <div id='left' style='float:left; border:1px solid red;'>Floated left</div> <div id='right' style='float:right; border:1px solid blue;'>Floated right</div>

Opera 7.54 vs. Firefox 1.0 Preview: Who is right with float:left?

by: Boris | last post by:

Please open http://www.highscore.de/opera/floatleft.html in Opera 7.54 and Firefox 1.0 Preview. Who is right? In my humble opinion Opera 7.54 is right: According to CSS 2.1 a "floating box must be placed as high as possible" (see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#float-position rule #8). Do you agree? BTW, Internet Explorer 6 behaves like Opera 7.54.

floating div's text not wrapping in firefox

by: bryanrite | last post by:

I have two floating divs within a 100% width container div. In IE when you resize the window to the point where the text should wrap, it wraps and extends the height of the container div. In Firefox, the div doesn't wrap but drops below the container div. I can't seem to figure out what i'm missing or what IE is automatically adding for me?? check it out: http://frontstreet.realclip.ca/index.php?pg=local_info * resize the window around...

firefox table captions

by: Johnny | last post by:

In MSIE table captions are displayed at the same size as content. But in Firefox the text displays at browser default, It also exceeds the width of the table and the excess is hidden if the table is enclosed in a bounding div. If caption is given a font-size (eg 0.8em) with CSS text it displays correctly, however MSIE then shows the text too small.

Trouble getting page to work in FireFox

I have a ASP .Net page that allows moving around items on the page through javascript. This page works fine in IE. In FireFox however, I have found that if the page is using XHTML 1.0 Transitional as the doctype, you cannot set the style.left and style.top properties of image or div tags. If you remove the doctype from the page it works just fine, although I would rather not do this. You can work around this by setting the cssText...

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,...
