IE6 and IE7 do not like my position absolute DIV tag

I did some research on Google.  I made sure that the position of the envelope has been set at parent and I tried clearing offending left, right and two tanks of the div tag.

This is the header which gives me headaches. I could include it as part of the mainNav div if all else fails, but I hope there is a simple solution to this bug, I've not found in Google.

Everything I learned about web design I learned over the last month or two, so if you can keep this in mind, I would be grateful.

Thank you.

IE already gave me some problems.  I use Firefox because it's faster.  I learned that it's less buggy.  Yeesh.

BTW, how important are IE6 and IE7?  I'm more upset by their behavior and may simply strike them if most of the people have upgraded to IE8.

Glad it works for you... good luck.

  • Need help for debugging CSS for IE6 and IE7

    I'd appreciate anyone with a bit of free time to give another pair of eyes. I tried a number of hacks found on this forum and other places to ensure that IE plays well with this site of two columns, I've been thinking, but according to BrowserLabs, there are still problems with IE6 and IE7. Naturally, all other browsers, including IE8 (!), goes as planned.

    The initial attempt, I settled on is here: http://www.patriciayoungquist.com/pages/public/welcome.html . (This page is representative, as all other internal pages are built the same way.) According to BrowserLabs, pageContent and copyright divs rather than show beside and below (respectively) drop-in IE6 and IE7. I still think there's a simple solution here, but I was not able to hit on him

    So I started a new model and CSS to see if I could work out another way and came with http://www.patriciayoungquist.com/pages/test/PYPAtemplate.html . Curiously, this still works in all and now works in IE6 but not in IE7. In IE7, the sidebar is displayed on top of the pageContent.

    I don't know there is something obvious that I'm missing. Work in CS4, and I know the pages validate. So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to try.

    Thank you

    Using your first link as an example, I see several things that are not fair.

    (1) do not use positioning.  For the majority of your layout of the site, you must use default CSS that is not positioning at all.

    (2) a fixed positioning does not work in older IE on any container except the body.  It's playing havoc with your left sidebar.  Solution is to remove position: fixed and replace by float: left.  In addition, you may need to add a clearing for your footer float.

    (3) height is a restriction.  Remove height of containers with text in them.

    (4) to align elements on the page, use the margins, padding, or floats - not absolute, fixed or relative positioning.

  • Menu bar moves to the right in IE6 and IE7

    Hello, my name is Stephen and a site I worked on is having problems of compatibility with IE6 and IE7. It could very well have problems of compatibility with other browsers as well, but I work in newer versions of IE, Mozilla, Safari, and Chrome.

    My problem is that the navigation at the top of my screen bar moves to the right, off the page, when there should be balance.

    I use Dreamweaver CS5.

    The Web site can be found at http://www.dremata.com

    It is currently under construction, but you should be able to see the line menu bar.

    Here is a screenshot of the page rendered in IE7, with the wrong menu bar on the right:

    menubar-off.jpg

    And behold, it is correctly aligned in IE8:

    menubar-correct.jpg

    Below, I've posted my CSS and welcome, opinions, critical and all your comments. My knowledge on HTML, CSS and using Dreamweaver is incredibly limited. All that I know is a mixture of self-taught and a course I took in high school. I try to learn as much as I can, so don't hold back. I have tried countless hours to get this menu bar for centering in IE6 and 7 and have applied the techniques I've read on (something hasLayout and floats compensation), but nothing helped. It is too frustrating to work more, so I hope someone can help me, lol.

    Add clear: both; in the .menubar css selector.

    HOWEVER, although that will position your navigation inside your page it will still not be rendered exactly the same in IE6 IE7 & as in Firefox, Safari, etc.

    Thick cross-browser I would revise the css for the .menubar .menubar ul, li and css anchor as below (is there no need to use the star or underscore hacks as long)

    {.menubar}
    Width: 960px;
    Clear: both;
    }
    . MenuBar ul {}
    Width: 960px;
    list-style-type: none;
    }
    . MenuBar ul li {}
    float: left;
    margin: 0 0 0 4px;
    }
    . MenuBar ul li a {}
    display: block;
    Background: #fff;

  • The difficulty to position a div tag... help!

    Hello

    I can't post a div tag It is with the 3n1 inside logo label. All the other div tags move with a fluid page while this div glue right there in a way that is not elastic. It is created in the same way as the others are. I don't understand! Help, please!

    I can't post a div tag It is with the 3n1 inside logo label. All the other div tags move with a fluid page while this div glue right there in a way that is not elastic. It is created in the same way as the others are. I don't understand! Help, please!

    Although it is one absolute positioning like others, his behavior is dictated by its unique position in the code.

    It's the only div outside the div container - which means its parent container is theTag, which means that it moves with the window of the browser.

    It must be inside of the

    who is positioned. Then, it will be constrained by the div container, not the body tag and moves compared to others the divs.

    Change


    3n1 logo


    TO

    3n1 logo



    You will also need to adapt the left coordinate of the div logo to visually match the Interior of the container

    Something like

    {#logoimage}
    height: 198px;
    Width: 192px;
    position: absolute;
    left: 750px; / * adjust according to * /.
    top: 335px;

  • My husband installed windows 7 and I don't like it at all. I want to go back to my factory settings and do not know how to do this. Help, please!

    I have a Hewlett Packard and my husband has windows 7 installed top and
    I do not like.  I want to go back to the original settings and I
    don't know nothing about it.  Please help me.

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Update iTunes 12.5.1.21.

    Win 10 (v1607) does NOT remember iTunes position and size.

    My system uses two monitors with extended desktop. I would like to put iTunes on the 2 left / top of the page. But after the closure and revival, iTunes always appears in the center of the screen 1 and the original size when updating. She also can't remember the last page of the articles that appeared, for example, Podcasts, applications, etc. When iTunes has been closed. Instead always defaults to the page music.

    Also on launch a screen "Welcome" iTunes with No thanks / OK buttons on bottom is displayed momentarily before displaying the page of music. There is not enough time to read what this screen offers. Looked in the menus to try to find this page to display... no luck.

    Anyone else having these issues?

    Same problem here.  Very annoying.  Each time is like the first time, which is great when you talk about sex, but not when you run iTunes.  All versions up to now has been able to hold its window size and position, but not anymore.  I also find the interface is very slow to boot.

    Do not like the new Firefox and wants to go back, or use other products such as the chrome

    None of these methods works to open the Options page:

    • button '3-bar' menu > Options

      • Or if you have moved the Toolbar Options, this is the gear icon

    If you get the same error in both directions, your installation of Firefox could be damaged. To do this, I suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.3 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) to rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Try a new installation of the Flash plug-in as follows.

    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    Flash Player Uninstaller.

    Once the download is complete, close all the browser windows, open your downloads folder and run the program uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the laptop.

    Then (unless you already have it), download and install Firefox , then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You can deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before download. 

    Close all browser windows before you run the installer of Flash.

    Start Firefox and see if the videos etc. play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same link Adobe Flash above to get a command prompt to install the ActiveX component.  Once completed, restart Internet Explorer.
