Hi all,
Thanks for your help. It works!
However, when I try to incorporate it into my site, it does not work.
Hi Ronald,
I think it's the computed width. Since you're using a computed width
for your containing block (100%) rather than a fixed width, (ie: 980px),
the inside blocks don't know how to compute their "auto" margins.
This problem has tripped me up several times and I think that it's the
reason many sites use a fixed width layout.
You might have to do without the proper usage of the min-width for the
outer block, but you might be able able to mostly accomplish the look
you're going for by giving that outerWrapper block a "margin: 0 auto" also.
If you want it to really be perfect, you might be able to be able to
adjust the width of the outerWrapper to match the width of the content
area of the window with JavaScript, but there might be a moment when
your page first loads that it doesn't look quite right.
Here is my code:
body {
text-align: center;
min-width: 980px;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #525252;
background-color: #fff;
margin: 0px;
background-image: url(../images/body_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: left top;
}
/* Layout */
#outerWrapper {
width: 100%;*

Re: [WSG] Positioning not consistent
Try putting in Microsoft's compatibility meta tag and see how it changes your results : | | There are different options for the content field and you may be able to play with that to get consistent results across MS browser versions.

Good morning all
The following seems to be happening in all browsers:
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hire&stage=shirts
Compare the positioning of the Clear Selection and Next >> lines on
the above page with
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hire&stage=suits
AND
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hire&stage=vests
It appears that on pages with several rows of images, such as the
vests page, the positioning is more or less as required ie just under
the image blocks and to the left of the navigation bars on the right.
On pages with only 1 or 2 rows of images, it is positioned much too
far down.
I could solve the issue by putting the data in another navigational
bar under the images but my associate (who does the databases)
prefers to have it separate. I'm OK with that if we can get the
positioning consistent ie, just under the image blocks and to the left
of the nav bars.
Hi Lyn,
I'm seeing the same thing on all three pages in the following browsers.
_Linux_
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3
Chromium 4.0.267.0
Google Chrome 4.0.249.30
_Windows_
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5
Google Chrome 3.0.195.33
Safari 4.0.3
The "Clear Selection" and "Next >>" links appear just under the image
blocks and to the left of the nav bars. "Next >>" is on the line below
"Clear Selection.
In the following browsers, all three pages render the same, but the
"Next >>" link is to the right of "Clear Selection" on the same line
with no space in between them... Like this: "Clear SelectionNext >>"
_Linux_
Opera 10.00 build 4585
_Windows_
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
Opera 10.10 build 1893
How can I position if more consistently? Thanks!
Kind regards
Lyn
The CSS in question is
#main .black { color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;
float: left; clear: left;}
#main .black ul { list-style: none; }
I did run it through the Validator but it no longer validates because
of all the JS.
