Hello,

I created a site with floating frames and it looks good in IE6 and FF/Mozilla.

But I have one problem:
I use in my dynamic layout an ID more then once
(thats not OK according w3 validation)

I tried to do something with pseudo classes but this works not really goed. My "uni" thumb box is used on two diff. pages
The skyscraper: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/
and the result/search page: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/search.php

I know there is a solution, but because the tumbbox have to be much flexible the solution must be simple as the current (wrong) solution. Anyone an idea?

My boxes line up horizontally perfectly in Firefox but not in IE7 (not suprisingly).

Because of the rules I can't show you the link but the html places two boxes side by side lined up so that they are the same distance from the top. It looks right in Firefox but IE7 drops the right box about 10 pixels or so.

My Html is this:

<div id="newsboxleft">
<div id="newsboxright"></div></div>

My CSS is this:

#newsboxleft { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: -187px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxleft.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}

#newsboxright { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 373px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxright.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}


I hope someone can help. Thanks.

hi,

Im making a site, and i decided to use CSS instead of tables. I have used basic CSS before, but it gets abit harder when i start making boxes etc.

Here is my code so far -

layout.css - (one that gets included on each page)

Code:

@import "style.css";
	
body {
	margin:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	padding:0px;
}
	
#leftcontent {
	position: absolute;
	left:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#centercontent {
	
	background:#fff;
 		margin-left: 199px;
 		margin-right:199px;
	border:1px solid #000;		
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
  	margin-left: 201px;
  	margin-right:201px;
}

#shoutbox {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#rightcontent {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}
	
#banner, #footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-top:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-bottom:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#banner h1 {
	font-size:16px;
	padding:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
#shoutbox, #rightcontent p {
	font-size:10px
}

style.css - text formatting etc.

Code:

body {
	font:	12px/1.2 Tahoma;
	background:#ddd;
	padding:0px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
a {
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#c00;
}
	
pre {
	font-size:11px;
	color:blue;
}
	
ol {
	margin-right:40px;
}
li {
	margin-bottom:10px;
}

p,h1,pre {
	margin:0px 10px 10px 10px;
}
		
h1 {
	font-size:14px;
	padding-top:10px;
}

it produces a good layout, with a header, 3 coloums and a footer. whoever, the boxes expand at different rates and the footer doesnt move down. the header also doesnt expand. i know how i can fix this, but i dont know how to fix it without making it so that its locked at a resolution. i would like the site to exapand as the window is made larger.

here is an image of what i get -



and this is what i am aiming to acheive -



as you can see, i want all the boxes to be the same length, which is defined by the size of the largest box. also, i want to create 2 or more boxes on the left, only the bottom of which gets made longer. on the first image you cannot see the extra box because it is covered by the other one :-/

i would be greatful for any help you guys can provide me

thanks,

dynamyt

Hi

I am creating a new site for a friend in Wordpress

ilovelifebecause.com

I can usually muddle through in css to make changes, but i'm stumped at the moment.

What I am trying to do is swap around the two cream coloured boxes so the larger one is on the right, the thinner one on the left and the blue box in the middle still. I've tried a number of things in the css file but can't seem to find the right method - can anyone help?

many thanks in advance
Paul

Im trying to replicate the vertical navigation style that is used on the Mozilla Firefox Website (as seen to the left). I have sucessfully done this useing images, with the exclusion of a space problem between the items and the end images in FireFox. I am using the strict.dtd and am frustrated with this problem. Iff anyone can help me create a nav with this style that would be wonderful. Here is the css im using:

Code:

.cssnavend	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 9px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	background-image: url(images/but-over.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav a {
	display:block;
	font-size: 11px;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	color: #096CCE; 
	text-decoration: none; 
}
.cssnav img {
	width: 100%; 
	height: 100%;
	border: 0;
}
.cssnav a:hover{
	color: #000;
	}
* html a:hover {
	visibility:visible
}
.cssnav a:hover img{
	visibility:hidden
}
.cssnav span {	
	position:absolute;
	left:7px;	
	top:7px;	
	margin:0;	
	cursor: pointer;
	}
#box {
	margin-top: 10px;
	padding: 0;
	width: 209px;
	display: block;
	}
#boxtop {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxcontent {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
}
#boxbottom {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxtext {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
	padding: 2px;
}

The following code is me testing my css. The first group is useing the cssnav styles. The 2nd group is using the box styles. The 3rd group is a try at making a content box with rounded corners that is a spacific width. Unfortunatly, the content of the box will not wrap to the width of the box, instead it continues on 1 line and outside the box.

Code:

<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-top.jpg"></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="phpbb/index.php" target=_blank><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-bot.jpg"></div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/but-top.jpg></div>
	<div content="boxcontent">
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/but-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/box-top.jpg></div>
	<div class="boxcontent">
		<div class="boxtext">This is some text inside of the box. This text should wrap and be padded.</div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/box-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

Thank you all who help.

Hello:

I'm trying to place two drop down boxes at the right of my page.

When I view the pages in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they are so far off.

You can view the page yourself by visiting:
http://www.informedmortgage/100-financing.html

I've tried changing widths, margins, etc and am having no luck.

I can use some help. I hope someone can help me out.

Thank you.

Hallo,

I have in several cases serious problems with floating boxes. Not with the standard layout's like here described http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/
but with more complicated layouts. I know to place the float attribute but have problems with setting the clear attribute.

Does some know a good source where I find more information or documented examples ?

Finally I can fix my problems, but it take so much time of testing...

Thnaks

I have 4 or 5 form controls that I want in a horizontal line. Each form control has a label above it, and I'm using <br>s to position the form control below the label.

I thought that wrapping each "label<br>form control" with a <span> would turn the whole thing into an inline block, where the next <span> would line up next to it, like the next <td> in a <tr>.
Code:

<div id=secondline>
  <span id=ed>
    <b>Event Definition</b>:<br>
    <textarea name=inject cols=45 rows=6></textarea>
  </span>
  <span id=after>
    <b>After</b><br>
    <select name=next size=8 multiple>
      <option value=0>0
      ...
      <option value=100>100
    </select>
  </span>
</div>

but, alas, it doesn't work like that.

How can I get Code:

<tr>
  <td>label<br>form_control</td>
  <td>label<br>form_control</td>
</tr>

behavior without using tables?

I have a full css site that im in the mits of creating. It has 3 colums across in the main part of the site as you will see in the link below that some of my divs dont seem to be lining up w/ the top of the page...

http://www.pollutionpaintball.com/version3/dennis_wells.html

I have the first column that contains the thumbnails floating right with a margin-left of the navgition width and the profile div width.

Next I have the navigation floated left

Then I have the profile section in a div w/ a left - margin the size of the navigations width...

any pointers would help...

Hi all,

I was wanting all the columns side by side.
Any ideas where i might be going wrong?

Cheers

I know I'm probably still thinking in terms of tables...

I have a <div> container with several more <divs> stacked up inside it. They have varying widths. I would like some (maybe not all) to be centered within the primary <div>.

Now, I know I can do this: <div align="center">, but align isn't a property in a style sheet, is it?

I'm building a site: www.bunjareecottages.com.au

At the moment, the middle column (which is the only variable sized bit on the page) is set to a min height of 495px. This works ok on larger resolutions, but creates a scroll even when no content reaches that length on smaller resolutions. That's as expected.

What I want to have the middle section having a min height of 110px from the top of the page, and 10px from the bottom. So if the content was very little, the yellow background would still be 10px from the bottom, but if content was really long and there was a scoll, the end of the yellow was 10px from the bottom.

Currently the yellow content area is relatively positioned from top by 110px, with margins of the correct sizes on each side. Everything else is absolutely positioned.

Any ideas?

Ok just so you know what I am trying to do here is a link to the problem page. -Problem aligning images-

Well ok what I want is for the position of the images to be displayed in absolute positions to the page and not to the image before it. Since I am really new to CSS I can't seem to find a good way to do this (without using tables UGH!). I have read about using float and div tags but not sure how to go about it. Here is a link to my other page of pics that display as I want them only because the pics are all the same size.

-Images displayed correctly-

This is the only code I have so far for displaying the images. The first img style aligns the image to the left and the 2nd to center and the 3rd to the right.

Code:

/* Set the style for image(s) displayed */
img.left
{
	margin-left: 10em;
}

img.center
{
	margin-left: 3em;

img.right
{
	margin-left: 3em;
}

Hope that makes sense,
Gerbill
