Floating Too Far Right

Question

I\'ve got a record management web application which displays a master record on one screen and AJAXes dynamically built editors into an editor div, which I\'ve used JQuery t

Answer 1

For the record, what worked to fix this was changing the CSS for closebutton from

float: right;

to

position: absolute;
right: 5px;
text-align: right;

This produces proper results in IE, and with a little padding for the internal form fields there's no worry about overlap.

Answer 2

for IE specific css hacks you can do something like:

#divId {    
   margin-right: 0; /*Normal styles for all browsers*/    
  *margin-right: 100px; /*The asterisk allows only for IE6 AND IE7 to read this*/        
  _margin-right: 90px; /*The underscore allows only IE6 to read this style*/    
}

Just make sure the asterisk and underscore hacks are placed after the normal (valid) css style.

Answer 3

CSS hacks are needed sometimes:

* + html #editor #closebutton /* IE7 */, * html #editor #closebutton /* IE6 */ {margin-right: 100px;} // insert whatever value that fits here

Answer 4

You may want to consider just using a JQuery Dialog instead since its premade and the styles already work cross platform.
