I recently decided to do a web page, and this time decided to get with the
times and use CSS to its fullest potential... BUT, I am having great
difficulty getting IE to do as it is told... Consider the following page:
http://marc.fearby.com/cssproblem.htm
In Mozilla, the space between the items in the navigation DIV is as it
should be
In IE, the space between the items is much greater...
I've done all I can to specify margin and padding values but to no avail.
I'm almost going bald from pulling my hair out on this one. Any help would
be greatfully appreciated.
Oh, and if anyone is feeling particularly benevolent, any ideas why 1) IE
puts a carriage return after the "asdfasdf" link in the navigation box and
2) why both Mozilla and IE display the "asdfasdf" link smaller, even
though it is 0.7em like the rest of the text in that box? The "div.linkbox"
selectors are the pertinent styles to look at.
Thanks HEAPS :-)
I'm using IE and Opera on it now.
It's gotta be the list. IE puts extra padding in there, but you've set it
all to 0. Looks to me like it should be working. Hmm... try setting
line-height on the li elements. Shot in the dark.
And I cannot figure out the reason the a link is smaller. Try making some of
the other list items links, see if that's it. Try zeroing out margins and
padding on the div.linkbox a selector.
But what I do notice... and knowing you're new to CSS...
1) Why more than one h1? Pick one to be the h1, make the others h2, it'll
look better in text. Only one h1 per page. And don't include the crumbs in
the h1. You can style them to look like it, but they're not really part of
the heading, are they?
2) In the text version, all lowercase headers sometimes looks dumb, though
it works great in your CSS layout. If you agree, type it with normal
capitalization and style it {text-transform: lowercase;}.
3) Put your style element within the head element. It's not valid XHTML
unless they're in up there.
