Topic awaiting preservation: Netscape and 100%?

I have a frameset. In one of the frames I've got a div layer which is 100%. The problem is it expands more than the frame it's in. if I shrink it to 80% it looks fine in Netscape but it's unacceptably short in IE.

So basically how do I make the layer have the SAME length in both browsers?

The div is not nested and the browsers in issue are NN 6.1 and IE 6.0

HELP!

Thanks

Hi bluecorr.

Well, a link to the page would be nice but... I am guessing that you are meaning the CSS width: 100%, right? In NN6.1 the CSS width is really funky. I had a similar problem that worked in NN6 but not 6.1.

Try taking out the width all together and see if that does the trick. Sounds kind of crude, but that is how I fixed my problem. Or you could set it to a definate width ie. 200px;

Post a link to the page or some of the code and that would help determine if the problem lies else where.

By the way, try to keep the CSS questions in the XML - XSL - XSLT - XHTML - CSS - DOM
forum. Just for future reference. Cool?

wow incredible!!! that worked. Can someone with NN 6.2 or 6 take a look and tell me if you see the scrollbar? Oh and take a look at the source code of that frame. The container is 95% wide but doesn't stretch that long (IE 6.0 that is).

I'll keep that in mind

Glad that it worked for you. I fought with that for awhile before I figured it out.

Anyway the width thing in IE6. I think that it is a probelm with cross browser interpretation of the style sheet. I will have to take a closer look at it when I get home. CSS is sometimes kind of funny about the way it displays the width and stuff in different browsers.

I will take a closer look at it later, someone may be along later to help you though.

I like your pages by the way. The scroll bars work in NN6.1 but they are a little slow. One reason why I like to call it ShitScape.

can someone with NN 6.2 and NN 6.0 send me a snapshot? Is the frame the width it's supposed to have?

Yes, in Netscape 6.2 it's looking and behaving just like in IE 6.

Screenshot? OK, check your mail!

have fun!

thanks! can anyone with Linux check it on NN 6.2? I saw a funky screenshot and I was wondering if it's a general problem for Linux users.

bluecorr: It looks like it is fixed but I wonder if it is something to do with the different interpretations of the box model. Have a look at:

and play around with the hack and see if that works. I had a similar problem with IFRAME widths but fiddling around sorted that out.
