antandsons Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 My site has a container, but sometimes it shifts over the content when going between web pages. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? http://www.antandsons.com Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Can you tell us which pages are shifting? I tried all the links on the left and the columns remained where they started. Quote
antandsons Posted October 11, 2005 Author Posted October 11, 2005 Can you tell us which pages are shifting? I tried all the links on the left and the columns remained where they started. For example, from ahead of the ticker to analyst scorecard...the content moves Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I see what you mean in I.E but not firefox. It looks like the left margin is wider on some of the pages than others. Quote
antandsons Posted October 11, 2005 Author Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) How can I fix the style sheet so this will not happen? I played around with some of the left and right tabs in the css, but it doesnt fix that problem Edited October 11, 2005 by antandsons Quote
OldTimer Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I'm not seeing this behavior at all. I'm also not seeing any difference between I.E. 6 or FireFox 1.0.7 Greg Quote
owatagal Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 The only content shifting I see is related to the scroll bar. On you home page the content is long enough that there's a scroll bar to the right. But the next page does not have enough text to merit the scroll bar, so the scroll bar disappears and the text shifts slightly so the content stays centered in the window. Is this the shifting you mean? I am not 100% certain how to fix it, but I think you can force the scroll bar to appear regardless -- something about changing the CSS overflow property on the body tag. Quote
Gail Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Hi, I use IE 6. I see what you mean about the shifting. There are perhaps 2 or 3 pages that are fine (I should have taken more notice) and then there are pages that shift to the left. Then when I click on the next link after the first page that has shifted - the page will shift to the right (where the Home Page position was) and then immediately shift again to the left. The shift is quite noticeable. My screen resolution is 1024 by 768. Sorry I have no solutions but thought I would add my observations. Gail Quote
antandsons Posted October 15, 2005 Author Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks for the confirmation. I checked the HTML and there seemed to be no obvious errors. Hopefully someone has an idea as to what is wrong. Quote

antandsons Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Tried doing what the link suggested, but still having problems. Quote
