Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / October 2005IE: Overflowing images in 3 column design not displayed properly
Hi all, I thought I got along with a 3 column design and CSS. But still IE and Firefox show images that overflow the center box different. Please have a look at this example: http://venida.de/test/9boxes.htm & http://venida.de/test/9boxes.css. When you look at the image with firefox at 800×600 it hides part of it because it overflows the containing box. I'd like to get the same feature in IE, too. Any ideas? Additionally, what is the correct behaviour (IE or FF)? Thank you very much and have a nice day! Thomas BTW. I put the surrounding div into the markup code for testing purposes only. I know, it doesn't belong there. >I thought I got along with a 3 column design and CSS. But still IE and >Firefox show images that overflow the center box different.

My primary browser setup filtered out the image, my firewalled IE asked for permission to retrieve something using port 443 which I denied. It doesn't help if you serve advertising if you want help with your code.  SignatureSpartanicus Sorry, but I used an ad example from Google because I thought that might be an example that is always available. This is just an image. Maybe you get a different image from what I get in Germany. I uploaded one to my server and changed to markup. Hope this works better. Please try again now! TIA!

But how comes? Nobody here who has an idea? I'm pretty desperated. Please advice! TIA Thomas >Nobody here who has an idea? I'm pretty desperated. Creating non trivial IE compatible CSS layouts requires an in depth knowledge of CSS and IE's bugs and shortcomings, neither are easily transferred. I can't speak for the others, but I'm put off from answering such questions, I don't have the time or energy to yet again explain the whole shebang. If you are finding it difficult to create your own IE compatible CSS layout (no shame in that), why not look at one of the many existing layout templates available? SignatureSpartanicus Spartanicus, I gues I'm long enough in the process of developing websites and have the experience to create my own IE compatible CSS layout but ran into this problem nevertheless. I read a lot of articles, websites etc. but couldn't find any one that shows an attempt to solve this problem. I didn't ask especially you to help me. Of course I understand if someone doesn't have the time to care about my problem. Thank you anyway.

If you are unfamiliar with IE's overflow behaviour then you are not as experienced as you claim to be. >I didn't ask especially you to help me. I didn't assume that you did. >Of course I understand if >someone doesn't have the time to care about my problem. I loaded the test case when you originally posted, I saw three examples that for no apparent reason complicated the deciphering of your code. I looked at it for a bit and then I thought "this guy is making it difficult for others to help him" and then I silently decided not to bother deciphering your code. My previous reply was intended to provide some hints as to how to get help from this group. This group is not a help desk, help is generally available, but it helps considerably if you treat the group for what it is: a discussion group. People who post complete designs or needlessly complicated code may get a reply from people eager to show off what they know about CSS, in my experience the really skilled people in this group tend not to bother replying to such posts. Questions about IE's bugs and shortcomings also fall into this category, it's a subject that the regulars are tired of discussing, and info on this matter is widely available through other sources.

No can do. IE's overflow handling is incorrect and unfixable. Add "position: relative" to the .content style. This changes IE's behavior to a less objectionable mode. > Additionally, what is the correct behaviour (IE or FF)? Firefox is correct. Visit <http://www.css.nu/>.
