That was the move i was planning to make cos yes, clearly i grouped the code together and could not really see where the errors were being caused. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7563 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:22:23 +0000 neilo 7563@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Sorry to hear that, M202A1, but maybe that will be the best move; when you redo the CSS it may be an idea to make the changes one line per element rather than grouping the elements with similar css into one rule. That way, you will be able to troubleshoot far more easily, line by line. Although I did think your css was nicely tidied up.</p> <p>Good luck. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7558 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:15:13 +0000 M202A1 7558@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Decided to use the default CSS code cos i can't resolve it right now and having too many MAC and Firefox people complaining they can't fill out the forms. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7481 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:42:05 +0000 neilo 7481@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi again, M202A1</p> <p>Haven't checked your site to see how you're getting on, but I came upon an interesting article about how to clear floats (in your CSS) <a href="http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html"> Here </a></p> <p>It suggests an efficient way for clearing the css float problem in Firefox - by adding:</p> <pre><code>.clearfix:after { content: &quot;.&quot;; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; }</code></pre> <p>below the #Li items that are floated in the css file.</p> <p>I would try it out to check its functionality, but unfortunately (or fortunately for me) I can't re-create your problem in my own forms. </p> <p>Anyway, have a look at the article and, if you like, try the fix. </p> <p>Hope things are going smoothly.</p> <p>neilo </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7443 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:41:30 +0000 Saghalie 7443@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>So you are trying to get the inputs on one line? Side by side? Fiddle with your &lt;li_1,2,3,4 etc&gt; settings in the css (you can do a search on this site to find how to do this) and that will put these inputs side by side.</p> <p>But</p> <p>input.button_text is the text that is associated with the button (I believe) so the text should move and the buttons along with it.</p> <p>Saghalie<br /> <a href="http://www.kcmhosting.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.kcmhosting.com</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7419 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:24:10 +0000 M202A1 7419@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thats only for the buttons right.

Make small adjustments to the width - I guessed that 30px might be about right.</p> <p>Let us know how you get on. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7397 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:07:41 +0000 M202A1 7397@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ok, you need to go into one of the forms and take a look. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7388 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:04:44 +0000 neilo 7388@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ah - I see. IE renders the css differently to FF. Because of the way IE renders the buttons smaller, both fields + buttons fit in to the space available. Firefox is rendering the buttons wider, so can't fit them into one line. </p> <p>Are the button widths specified in the css? As a last resort you could always make your div ("form_container") about 60px or so wider to accomodate them.</p> <p>Something else you could try: the drop-down boxes always take their narrowest width from the longest option, so you could try changing:</p> <p>MODA VITA Casting - PLEASE SELECT</p> <p>to:</p> <p>Moda Vita Casting - Select </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7387 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:51:46 +0000 neilo 7387@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Looks OK to me too - this is a screendump of what I'm seeing: </p> <p><a href="http://www.yeractual.com/image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.yeractual.com/image.jpg</a></p> <p>Is it because the buttons don't sit on the same line as the input selectors? That would be purely down to the .css widths of the input fields (or the column widths - if you specified those in your html editor). Anyhow, looks OK. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/major-annoying-firefox-issues#post-7386 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:52:14 +0000 Saghalie 7386@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I use FireFox.
