Firefox not displaying center blocks correctly

I've seen a similar post, and this has probably been answered, but I don't know what to enter for a search to find the right thread.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox, and when I log in, the Spotlight, recent topics, and wf-section recent blocks all hang out on the left side of the center block. With IE6, they all line up nicely. I know that IE is the evil deamon that doesn't do things right, so how do I get firefox to display things wrong like IE? (in other words, right).

This would be theme related and how it's CSS files are made up. I have found that using themes with multiple CSS versions work much more favourably for my site. If your them does not include style.css, MAC.css and styleNN.css you may want to look for an alternative, create your own, or look for a thme that uses one CSS that has cross browser compatability.

I know this isn't an answer to your problem, but hopefully it will lean you in the right direction in terms of looking for the right answers.

Did you try to set the width of your center blocks to 99%

I'm not sure if this would work or not, but it may.

That's curious...

I, too, use Firefox and have no problems with center blocks and Spotlight.

PM me and give me a place to send my theme.html Maybe you'll find something useful in it that will help you out.

Let me see if I can answer all these questions... I am using the latest Firefox version (0.8) and do still have these problems. For you who have Firefox, please visit my website listed below and tell me if you have the same problems on the main page of my site. You should be able to tell from there if it's a browser issue or a CSS issue that I need to find.

As for CSS stuff, I'm brand new to CSS and have started modifying a theme I found. I'm not sure about the whole browser CSS problems, etc. Is it a CSS thing to change the width for center stuff to 99%?

hmmm
want a tip from XT?

Get your styleNN.css file and simply put this inside it:
Quote:


@import url(style.css);


this way all browsers (NN) will look at your site the exact same way IE ones do.

Re: Firefox not displaying center blocks correctly

Here's what I see.

First, in looking at your left column, sometimes you specify a width of "99" and other times you specify a width of "99%". I'm not sure whether it is effecting your CenterCBlock problem, but, I couldn't tell if it was intentional. Example:
<td width="9"><img src="http://www.xantius.com/xoops/themes/XantiusTheme/menuleftbottom.jpg" width="9" height="21"></td>

    <td width="99" background="http://www.xantius.com/xoops/themes/XantiusTheme/menubottombg.jpg"></td>
    <td width="9"><img src="http://www.xantius.com/xoops/themes/XantiusTheme/menurightbottom.jpg" width="9" height="21"></td>


As for your centerblock, you can try adding a width to the following line and check the width in the css.
<td id="centercolumn" width="95%">

The css entry would be
td#centercolumn {width: 95%; font-size: 12px;}


You can try adding it to style.css first and if that works for IE and Firefox you are done. Otherwise, you can add the entry to styleNN.css

Good luck.
