I am currently learning Ruby on Rails by following Micheal Hartl's tutorial to create a twitter clone.
I was working on the CSS code for the front page. But for some weird reason, It is rendering a different view for both Firefox and Chrome.
I have added screenshots. The navigation bar in the upper right page ( consisting of Home, Help and Sign In) seems to disappear in Firefox.
I have tried tinkering around with the code, but I just can't seem to get the logo and the navigation bar to get aligned in Firefox, like they are aligned in Chrome.
Here is the CSS code:
.container{
width: 710px;
padding-left:30px;
}
body{
background: #cff;
padding-left:30px;
margin:1em;
}
header{
margin-top: 30px;
padding-top: 30px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
header img {
padding: 1em;
background: #fff;
position: relative;
margin-left:-1.1em;
}
section{
margin-top:1em;
font-size:120%;
padding:20px;
background: #fff;
}
section h1{
font-size:200%;
}
a{
color: #09c ;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover{
color: #069;
text-decoration:underline;
font-weight:bold;
}
a:visited{
color:#069;
}
nav{
float:right;
background: white;
padding: 0 0.7em;
white-space:nowrap;
margin-top: -5.4em;
margin-left:-0.4em;
}
nav ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
nav ul li{
list-style-type:none;
display:inline-block;
padding:0.2em 0;
}
nav ul li a {
padding: 0 5px;
font-weight: bold;
}
nav ul li a:visited{
color: #09c;
}
nav ul li a:hover{
text-decoration:underline;
}
a.signup {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
display:block;
text-align:center;
width: 190px;
color:#fff;
background: #006400;
font-size:150%;
font-weight:bold;
padding:20px;
}
.round{
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
}
footer {
text-align: center;
width:800px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
margin-top:100px;
}
footer nav{
float:none;
}
The image and the Navigations are defined in the header.html.erb page. The code of that page is:
<header>
<%= link_to logo,root_path %>
<nav class = "round">
<ul>
<li> <%= link_to "Home", root_path %></li>
<li> <%= link_to "Help", help_path %></li>
<li> <%= link_to "Sign in", '#' %></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
Here is the source code generated by Chrome:
<body>
<div class="container">
<header>
<a href="/"><img alt="Sample app" class="round" src="/assets/logo.png" /></a>
<nav class = "round">
<ul>
<li> <a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li> <a href="/help">Help</a></li>
<li> <a href="#">Sign in</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<section class ="round">
<h1>KHEMS</h1>
<p>
This is the home page for Khems - A Micro blogging App. It is similar to Twitter.

<a href="#" class="signup round">Sign up now!</a>

I think part of the problem is that you have this CSS definition:
Which is being applied to BOTH your
navin your<header>and in your<footer>. I would removemargin-top: -5.4em;completely and then change this CSS definition:by updating
margin-top: 100px;to something likemargin-top: 20px;and see if you have any better luck.
