Canadian Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I need help. I have a container div and then 3 divs inside. This is a 3 column page. So you have a left, center and right div. Everything works great in FF/Chrome/Safari/Opera but of course not in IE8. In IE8 the div on the right drops below the other 2 divs. Note* If I comment out the center div, the right stays where it is supposed to. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. It's been a 17hr day! Thanks!

floridaflatlander Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 When I add up left, center and right I get 910 px width. "NOT INCLUDING MARGINS, PADDING & BORDERS" total width = width + padding + border + marign I always try to keep them around 895 total for the ie6 folks.

Canadian Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 floridaflatlander, Is this the case in IE8 as well? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241561-3-hrs-later-im-still-lost-please-help/#findComment-1240867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Update. It is happening when I add any height to the center div. I tried to make the divs less than 895px but it's still happening. It's like the right div doesn't realize it's supposed to be "beside" the middle div.

floridaflatlander Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Update. It is happening when I add any height to the center div. I meant a width of 895px total for the left center and right div. And yes I'd make a width of 895 total or 890 for all the divs in ie 8 or ie 9 It's like the right div doesn't realize it's supposed to be "beside" the middle div. Are you missing a closing </div> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241561-3-hrs-later-im-still-lost-please-help/#findComment-1240886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cssfreakie Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 well i see what your trying. First things first make a template without content and keep it simple and efficient. In a nutshell your design consists of 1 container width a fixed width centred in the middle. furthermore you have (or trying to have) 3 columns. Now what i always do is the following. Give each div a background color, just so you see where it is positioned. Also compare the divs, which properties do they have in common. now have a look at the code below: That is a simple template without unnecessary javascript or serverside (php) and other stuff we don't need. we first need a decent template. As you can see i first created a container. we know the width and the position and maybe a little space between its border and the inner elements so we add a padding and that is pretty much it. (you know the difference between padding and margin?) Next the divs/columns. they all have something in common: the can all be floated left (yes that may sound weird but trust me either float left or right don't use both, I just gave them all a min-height and a margin-right to create some space). The next thing that we need to do is make the divs more unique so we give them a different color and width. And Watch what i did with the margin-right for the right div. I set that to 0 otherwise it doesn't fit in the container. Now we made a simple template without having to worry about the impact of other scripts. (always make a template without content. add that later) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" /> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> #container { width: 980px; margin:0 auto; position: relative; /* not needed really needed but it does no harm*/ border: 2px solid #CCC; overflow:hidden; /* will make it shrinkwrap around inner contents */ padding:10px; background: #FFF; } #left, #center, #right{ min-height:400px; float:left; margin-right:10px; /* give them all a margin right */ } #left { width: 380px; background:yellow; } #center { width: 470px; background:yellowgreen; } #right { /* notice I changed this to an #id */ width:110px; background:pink; margin-right:0; /* remove the margin right */ } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="left"></div> <div id="center"></div> <div id="right"></div> </div> </body> </html> Hope it helps you! P.s. your code probably broke because the mix of properties like inline-block and float, which was not needed. but i thought i show you how to do a design like this more efficient without the use of a trillion lines of css. This code just works, if it now breaks because of adding content you know what is the cause of it. That's why we make a clean template first and not solve the troubles afterwards.

Canadian Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 no problem. don't forget to mark it solved ones you tested it and all is clear. I'd like to make a quick update. I was mistaken with the version of IE that wasn't working. IE8 actually works. It's IE7 that doesn't work. I know IE7 is old but I'm still getting a considerable amount of traffic coming to my site who use IE7. Does this change the advice you gave me? Is there a simple IE7 fix? Sorry for mixing that up.

No it doesn't change my advice. IE7 is still being used by quite some people, not to mention IE 6. making sure stuff works cross browser requires you to start with a clean template. (check the sticky for some other tips) Keep it simple and efficient. and simple doesn't mean lame, it means the right amount of difficulty for the right situation. In fact it's really fun ones you made a the template to look through it and see if you are declaring things double, try combine stuff, make it as efficient as possible.
