Nav Chrome
Why does Chrome/Safari ignore my Margins, but accept my Padding?
I’m building a website and running into the classic web developers dilemma: browser computability. In IE6 and Firefox 3, the navigation bar on the following website works just fine, but in Chrome, Safari (and presumably other WebKit browsers) the spacing gets crunched.
Here’s the URL, see what I mean for yourself:
http://www.mikeyingling.com/everettkayser/
My current CSS reads:
a.nav
{
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Monotype Corsiva;
color: #FFF1DD;
font-size: 18pt;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin: 0 5% 0 5%;
padding: 0;
z-index: 0;
}
If I make margin: 0; and padding: 0 5% 0 5% it LOOKS right on all browser, but the :hover area extends too far left and right of the navigation links.
Any input would be great, thanks!
You should not need to make it backwards compatible with IE6, its about 8 years old that browser, not to mention broken.
I would suggest you avoid using pt for font-sizes, they are not well suited for screen media.
I suspect the reason being that the “a element” are inline by default, you can change this through the css display property. You should also at least include those in either a ordered or unordered list, which would both enable better accessibility of your site, as well as better styling of your links.
You may also want to consider using a External StyleSheet, because these are cached by the browser, while embedded styles are downloaded again for each page.
