css troubles

v-six · 11-06-2005, 05:18 PM

Hi all, having a silly little glitch in Firefox (and probably other browsers).
The horizontal scrollbars are showing up at the bottom of this page: www.newpaltzadjuncts.org
and my browser is pretending the page doesn't fit in the browser.
Any thoughts?

P.S. I couldn't figure out the best way to explain this, if you want me to better explain it I'll try.

Hey Six,

I am using 1024x768 IE browser here at the moment. Works Great, no top scrollbars. I'll check when I'm at home in my FireFox browser with resolution 1024x768.

thanks Grove, it's not a priority

Hmmmmm ..... odd. Same thing happens here. I just checked in my FireFox browser and I end up with the scrollbars at the bottom.

Let me work on this a bit later for you, am tired at the moment.

Hi Six,

Try changing the border code to the following in your css for the header div..

Code:

#header {
	text-align: center;
	margin-right: auto;
	margin-left: auto;
	position: relative;
	height: 70px;
	width: 100%;
	top: 0px;
	background-color: #FBB661;
	border: 1px 0px 1px 0px solid #000033;
}

It looks like the old favourite problem with IE vs Firefox, where in FF the border is added to the width/height, whereas in IE it is integral to the figure for the particular dimension that you choose to use.

I'm sort of running out the door, so let me know how you get on.. I'll be back later. Or Grove will be in shortly no doubt.

Cheers

Liam

Liam, you rock my world

You were right, it was the left and right border of the header.
Here's my final code for the css:
#header {
text-align: center;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
position: relative;
height: 70px;
width: 100%;
top: 0px;
background-color: #FBB661;
border-top: 1px solid #000033;
border-right: 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000033;
border-left: 0px;
}
