CSS - Can't Get These To Overlap At All?

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have a horizontal UL for a nav bar. It works great, and positions well in IE, but in FF the ContentBox moves too far up, and overlaps with my nav bar. I can't figure out why. I added an extra div and placed the nav bar in that, but that didn't help either.

What am I doing wrong.

Also, I have my widths set to 100% IE has no horizontal scroll bar at the bottom, but FF does. Not sure what is going on here either.

thanks again for your help.

Brad

Hey guys,

It might be easiest if you see the example first:

http://www.venusadvertising.com.au/ourwork.php

See how the red tab overlaps the Flash element in Webkit browsers and under it in IE? I need the page to scroll rather than for the elements to overlap.

CSS doc is he http://www.venusadvertising.com.au/_assets/css_venus.css

Thanks for your help!

Greets,

I'm having trouble with the menu not being properly shown in IE. The list is supposed to pass over the central DIV, and... the bugger seems to want to stay in the background for some reason.

I set that div's z-index well above the others, set the visibility to visible... I'm stumped.

teh linkification

I have decided that it would be easier to make 2 seperate div tags so I wouldn't have to deal with the issues on margin and padding that IE barf all over at.

So, what I'm going to do is to make the 2nd <div> to overlap the 1st <div>.

So, what the property or attribute that I can use to make it the overlapping work that work for most web browsers??

Thanks,

Hi, I would like to superimpose (overlap) one small image over the second larger one, to a left bottom corner of that larger. The thing is I do not know the width & height of larger image as it is loaded dinamicly with php. I tryied puting large image to table than position small image to div with
style="position:relative; left:0px; bottom:0px; z-index:33;"
not working, can you help?

Right now, I'm using CSS to have text overlap an image. I did this simply by having the placement code for the text appear after the placement code for the image in my .shtml file.

Is this the correct way of doing this?

I am sitting here with a css challenge and I cannot even start to imagine how to do it. In fact, I think it is impossible to do, but just thought I'd ask you guys in case I am wrong:

I want to create a dropdown menu (something like coolmenus) that can be created dynamically out of a database.

The first thing I want to happen is that all primary navigation items are lined up horizontally next to eachother. That one was easy: I put each item into a DIV and float them left.

Now the problem: whenever a user moves the mouse over a primary navigation item, a dropdown menu will appear underneath it. However (!), this dropdown menu may be wider than the DIV above it! Here an example:

------------- -------------
| Item 1 | | Item 2 |
------------- -------------
-----------------------
| Dropdown 1 |
-----------------------
-----------------------
| Dropdown 2 |
-----------------------

The problem I see is that I want the dropdown menu to always be left aligned with the primary navigation item. As I don't know the absolute position of either of them (being created dynamically out of a database), the only way to get the left alignment is to write the DIVs (primary item and its dropdown) directly after each other in the code. However, if I do that I cannot get the primary navigation items to appear one next to each other. Well, I could, but they wouldn't overlap with the dropdowns as I want them to.

To give you an idea of what I am trying to achieve, have a look at the dropdown he

I'm working on this page: http://development.maklafpress.com/index.asp. I'm experimenting w/ sandbagging to get the text to wrap around that logo. The page looks perfect in IE, but in Opera, Firefox and Netscape the logo creeps up above the nav bar and screws everything up. Could some one help me out? I've attached the CSS below:

Code:

#content {
background: url(maklaf.jpg) no-repeat top left;
}
#wrap1 {
width: 180px;
height: 110px;
float: left;
clear: left;
padding: 0;
}
#wrap2 {
width: 209px;
height: 90px;
float: left;
clear: left;
padding: 0;
}
#navcontainer ul
{
padding-left: 0;
margin-left: 0;
background-color: #036;
color: White;
float: left;
width: 100%;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#navcontainer ul li { display: inline; }

#navcontainer ul li a
{
padding: 0.2em 1em;
background-color: #036;
color: White;
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover
{
background-color: #369;
color: #fff;
}

Hey Guys,

I'm switching over from a completely javascripted and clunky menu system to htmldog/alistapart's Son of Suckerfish CSS pulldown menu. (ref: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ )

Now, I'm having trouble with the new menu sitting behind other properties on my pages; namely other form-pulldowns. Can you suggest anything that might correct this - I've tried z-indexing the pulldowns but that doesn't seem to do the trick!? Check this out at :

http://www.pps.org/gps/ - pass your cursor over Placemaking Tools.

Note - this seems to be a problem I'm noticing with IE6; in Mozilla/Firefox everything works alright.

Hello, I am working with something like this:

Code:

<div>content one here</div>
<table><tr><td>content two here</td></tr></table>

How can I get the div to overlap the table and appear on top of it?

Thanks!

Alright, I am developing a new website. I am using a watermark that begins in header and goes over the css menu in box. The positioning of all containers is correct and it views perfectly. I have a wrapper around those 2.

*The issue is when the zindex is high it shows water mark beginning in header and stretches over the menu, when that happens the menu will not work properly. If I lower the zindex then the css menu covers bottom of my watermark it works, but then you cant see bottom half of my water mark.

The water mark is in .png format.

I have a large footer that does not clear all the content in Safari. It is fixed to the bottom of the browser window, and when resized slightly, the footer then breaks free and shows all content. Please see page below for example. Footer covers some of the last row of items... when you resize the window, items become visible:

www[dot]asadvertising[dot]com/portfolio[dot]html

I am using IDs to contain hidden text.

I am using mouse over behaviors to change the text's visibility so that it is shown.


Now here is the thing; I want to display two IDs of text.

Since I have to set the position to absolute, otherwise they scroll down the page, the texts overlap.


Things I have tried.

- Using a span class of: top 100px; at the end of every ID to lower it from the second.

This doesn't work because it is CSS and it reads every span class not like javascript.

- Putting them in another ID and limiting the size of Box, scroll down the page.

The position has to absolute so this is out.


Here is what I am working on:
www silverrose.net/zodiac2.htm


I know I can change the page so it would work for now;
but it won't work for what I am planning down the road.


Maybe I should give up my efforts and try using javascript; but there HAS to be a way to do this with CSS.

Any suggestions from you brilliant peeps?

Hey guys...
I feel like a deer caught in the headlights here with all this content.
Long story short, I'm using the kubrick default wp theme which comes with slightly rounded header edges.

I've created my own header in the same format, and am using it as the background image - fair enough.

However, I am interested in nesting a smaller image ON TOP of the background header image, so that my smaller header image overlaps the larger background image.

I've been playing around with code, and the only thing I've been able to do, is either make the bigger background the same color as the background image (but then this merely makes the header bg color squared, not rounded edges etc).

How do I overlap two images within the header section of a wp default theme?

Your highly valuable feedback is appreciated.

I am intergating my forum software into my main page. I have created a 100% non-table front page, but there is one table that is stuck at the bottom of the page by the forum software.

So my DIV tag ends and a TABLE begins and they overlap. I placed a clear:both DIV tag after my last DIV tag, but that didn't seem to help.

I don't think I can convert the TABLE to DIV since it's part of the software. I was just thinking of adding a height:20px to my "clearit" DIV to pad the bottom enough to push the table down but that seems hokey.
