CSS - Div Tags Not Nesting Properly
I'm having a problem with the way my div tags are behaving in a page I am trying to build. I have all the div's nested properly (I think) but the problem is is that the footer is appearing right below the top banner. The footer is not nested in the div that contains the rest of the pages content it appears behind everything else actually. I have been messing with my style sheet and moving everything around to no avail. For some reason the div that contains all the content has a height of zero when it shouldn't. I have used similar page structure before on other pages but this is the first time im using two columns of free floating boxes as opposed to one solid column divided in two. I'm leaving the style sheet and the mark up below if you can figure it out that would be great. There is only one image and it shouldn't have anything to do with this problem. I will be eternally grateful to whoever can help me as this has made me seriously consider hitting my computer with a brick.
Code:
// here's the stylesheet
body{

Similar TutorialsThis is driving me crazy and I can't figure it out. I have a "content" div that is a container for 2 other div's (a sidebar and a main content area). For some reason it isn't rendering in the proper place; it's rendering at the top of the page instead of under the navigation (if I don't assign a height to it it doesn't render at all). It also isn't extending past the end of the other 2 div's to reach the footer. I have tried adding overflow hidden to it but it just makes the other 2 divs not render at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the HTML and the CSS is below it. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Okay, so here's the issue... I've designed a site using css, and to get the flow I was looking for I had to use "absolute positioning" on some of the page elements. Every thing looks fine except I can't get the page to center in the browser window. I created a div that I used as a wrapper, centered the wrapper... and most everything works fine... the exceptions are the elements that are absolutely positioned... they won't nest within my wrapper div. If I change the type of positioning of ALL the elements on the page to relative then they nest... but I don't want to have to use relative positioning for all my elements. Any words of wisdom? The code for the problem are below. I have two examples in my html file. One using styles directly and one using styles via a file. The styles are identical. The first div tags that uses styles directly shows correctly, but the other div tags doesn't even show at all - or at least not with 'height' in '.page' set to 'auto'. If it's set for example to 200px that div will show but not the sub ones. This is strange since if using the same styles directly this isn't even a problem at all.

hey! I am having trouble putting a footer on a website because for some reason 2 of my divs are not sticking in the larger 'content' box. I think it has to do with the float definition but cant seem to figure it out. Here is the basic structure i have. is this wrong? Code: <div wrapper>
<div header>
<div logo></div>
<div menu></div>
</div>
<div content>
<div splash></div>
<div float left> </div>
<div float right></div>
</div>
</div>
The issue is that <float left> and <float right> are not staying inside the <content> div and my footer ends up in the middle of the page. I wish i could post the webpage but im a new user. Thanks for your help Hey. While I know some basics of css and html, I generally get bored after the design process lol, so have very little experience actual coding. Basically this is what the end product im looking is forl img266.imageshack.us/img266/8638/helpjj1.jpg The only problem is, I have no idea how to nest (?) that in there, with the text in there as well. I'm also looking for it to stay in the middle on the right there, with the box going larger or smaller. Heh... I would appreciate it soooo much is someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time Tom Basically, what i'm trying to work out is if the following is possible. Code:
.mainBodyColor {
background-color : #FFFFFF ;
color: #000000;
}
.mainBodyFont10pt {
font-size: 10pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
.mainBodyFont14pt {
font-size: 14pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
where <mainBodyColor> is a nested call to the style in some way.
etc etc etc
How do i go about nesting/including the mainBodyColor styling within the mainBodyFont10pt style? I know that the following doesn't work Code: <font class="mainBodyFont10pt" class="mainBodyColor "> Some text to go in here</font> What I'm trying to do is have in one place the colour and include it into many styles, so if i want to change the colour scheme of the site i just have to change it in one spot and i know that the whole site will change. Thanks in advance. hi! please can some one help me with followin... i would like to have 2 blocks in line (like one row, 2 colums). First one (left one) have background which is 285px wide. i tried with 2 divs like this: <div style="display:inline; width:285px ; background-image: url(bg.gif);">left content</div> <div style="text-align:right; display:inline; width:200px>right content</div> and IE renders it ok (for me) but firefox ignores "width" of divs and outputs "right content" right after "left content" text. thanks in advance!! Tomislav Hi all I'm learning how to do things in DIVs rather than tables. One thing I'm slowly realising is that DIVs don't naturally nest like tables do. Please see he http://www.mitya.co.uk/csstest As you can see the master DIV (grey border) doesn't surround the inner DIVs naturally as a table would. Presumably this isn't the nature of DIVs and I just have to set heights instead? Thanks in advance Hey guys. Does anyone know how to trigger haslayout when nesting floats inside other floats? I've been using a span parent with zoom:1 but there's probably a more robust way of doing so. Any thoughts? Hi all - This is a continuted discussion from this thread. I won't bother re-explaining, but I'm restarting this thread in the hopes to simplify the situation. I have to write out data from Coldfusion in columns rather than rows. This is a schedule with Time down the left side and Days across the top. In order to get this to display correctly, I'm using a nested tables method I found on goolge. Each Row is actually a Table within a table, where the nested table acts as a data cell, and the cells in the outer table are columns. In all my fiddling, I've ended up stumped with the following. I need this to display correctly in at least IE 5.5 and up, Netscape 7, and Firefox. A condensed version of the output is included below. Note that the tables do not end lined up. I need to be able to scale everything up or down and have it all line up (thus, everything is EMs). I originally tried to work with css borders, but found that it was even worse with that - i.e. each top or bottom border was adding pixels to the height of the cells, so where one row would have five items, it would appear "shorter" than another row with 10 items. I also tried using pixels throughout the script. I CAN get it to work when I do this, where everything lines up correctly, but I can't get it to scale! I have since moved to using an image at the top of each data output. Its closer, but still doesn't line up. The image is nothing more than a 1 pixel high gif - Just like this one. As you move down, they get further and further out of sync of the left most column. How can I get this working? I really don't understand CSS well enough, especially across browsers, in order to finish this. Again, here is the 1pixel high gif I used for the following code.

Hi, I'm trying to create a full CSS layout. It's basically a three column design: http://www.definitedigital.com/bookfair/ http://www.definitedigital.com/bookfair/style.css However, on Mozilla the blue border around the main content area with the Copyright disclaimer at the bottom of the page doesn't show correctly. On IE it shows just fine. I'd be really thankful if someone could take a look at my CSS. I'm quite new at designing completely with CSS and don't really know if the approach I just took is the best for what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks, Ralph I am having problems trying to set up a 2 columns inside an existing 2 column layout. The reason why I am doing it that way is because the 2 col layout is part of a template and most pages will be 2 col, but for some there is actually 3 columns, so I need to split the mainColumn into 2 columns. The problem is they are not showing up side by side. If I do display: inline; everything within the id displays that way and that is a problem. So here is what I am trying to accomplish Here is the css: Code: /*Main Section two columns under top section*/
#wrapper{
padding: 10px 10px 10px 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#sideColumn {
float:left;
width:155px;
height: 78%;
background-color: #5094F9;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-bottom:10px;
pading-right: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
text-align: left;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 20px;
}
.category {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
letter-spacing: 5px;
}
#sideColumn a:link, #sideColumn a:visited {
background-color: transparent;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#sideColumn a:hover, #sideColumn a:active {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #5094F9;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#sideColumn ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 15px 0px 15px 10px;
margin: 0px;
}
#mainColumn {
padding: 0px;
}
/*customer support*/
#csupportWrapper {
padding: 90px 20px auto 185px;
text-align: left;
}
#csupportWrapper span {
color: #000099;
font-weight: bold;
}
#csupportWrapper .large {
margins: 40px auto 20px auto;
}
#csupportWrapper ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 10px 0px 0px 10px;
margin: 0px;
}
#csupportWrapper a:link, #csupportWrapper a:visited {
background-color: transparent;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #5094F9;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#csupportWrapper a:hover, #csupportWrapper a:active {
background-color: transparent;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #990099;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#column1 {
padding: 40px 10px 0px 185px;
clear: none;
}
#column2 {
padding: 40px 0px 0px 382px;
clear: none;
}

Below is a simple test page that fails to load properly on the Mozilla browser. It appears to work properly in IE. Any suggestions to getting the span width to set properly, based upon the content of the span would be a great help. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Span test</title> <style TYPE="text/css"> .submenu { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #D4BA6B; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 0px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; min-width: 100px; visibility: visible; z-index: 1; } .submenuItem { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000; border-right: 2px solid #ff0000; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff0000; border-top: 2px solid #ff0000; font-family: "arial narrow", arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; position: absolute; z-index: 1; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; } </style> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function getWidth() { oSpan = document.getElementById("testSpan"); iWidth1 = oSpan.offsetWidth; alert ("Width1 = " + iWidth1); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body onload="getWidth()"> <div class="submenu"> <span class="submenuItem" id="testSpan">This is the item that I am testing today.</span> </div> </body> </html> I've been trying to find a "solution" that allows me to have a parent <div> (with a fixed position-centered) on a browser page, and have it contain multiple nested <div> tags. I want to be able to do this so it works on both IE and FF, as well MAC. Through several attempts I've utilized a background-image--but don't believe that is compliant with "all" recent platforms, etc. I've also been able to place the nested <div> tags but then shove the parent div's image down ... Does anyone have thoughts, links, suggestions or a quick example to toss my way? Thanks Much and Happy New Year! Des Something I think I'm not doing. I'm using something called niftyCorners and thought that was what was cauing the problem, but now I'm not so sure. I am trying to have this appear on a webpage for the reader to use: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- alert("Sample JavaScript alert box 1."); alert("Sample JavaScript alert box 2"); alert("There you go, alert boxes \nTa da, and one with a new line!"); // --> </script> Now, I need to have the <pre> tag nested inside a div tag, but this doesn't validate. So, I nested the code tag inside the pre tag and it breaks my layout in IE 6.0. Why am I nesting at all? niftyCorners doesn't work very well when you put padding or margin on any div you want to have rounded corners. So, I'm trying to put a div round my pre tag, so I can round the div and I can use the pre tag to control margin/padding. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. http://s125392025.websitehome.co.uk/layout.html I'm making a layout, in this layout(as you can see), I have a SubNav and a main body part. Both of those sections, have a header image and a footer image. Well, my body footer image isn't aligning directly with the main body. It's off by about 1 or 2px. I tried using: position:absolute; With a few different types of top, and bottom, but the picture only dissappears. I used the exact same line code for the footer image for the subnav, and it has aligned just fine. Here's the script if it matters. Could anyone help please?

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to cut down on my image sizes on my website: http://toptiertemplates.com, but i am having a few difficulties. I have this table which was created in photoshop which is off to the side. I would like to take just a slice of the table and repeat the image the full length of the table's original length. The page is written by placing everything with divs. I know how to set the image as a background and all and repeat it, however, when i do so, it replaces my website's background and just shows up as a white space. So i am wondering if I have to use layers of some sort or anything else. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks. Surprise, surprise... [edit]link removed...[/edit] In FF the list of links that represent the toon archive are dispayed as two columns just like I want, but IE isn't performing properly, showing it as one list right under the other... [note] The CSS is in the head, I haven't exported to a seperate file sheet yet since it's still in development. [/note] Hi there, I'm trying to get the images from each page to be centered in their td's, which appears to work fine in FF, but not in IE. Any help is greatly appreciated. here's the css; Code:

So basically here's the problem.... I'm using a jquery folder tree. By default, there is a plus and minus sign designating expanded or collapsed. If you click the sign only, would the menu expand/collapse. However, for my needs, I need the entire name beside the sign to be clickable as well. So I adjusted certain items and it works... in Opera, Firefox, Safari, Flock, and Chrome... (All latest versions I just downloaded today). It doesn't, however, work in IE6 (yes.. I still use IE6). Have not tested in IE7 or IE8... I posted this in the CSS forum as it seems as though it's a CSS problem as opposed to Javascript or PHP... Anyways... here's the CSS file: Code:
.treeview, .treeview ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
.treeview ul {
background-color: white;
margin-top: 4px;
}
.treeview .hitarea {
background: url(images/treeview-default.gif) -64px -25px no-repeat;
height: 16px;
width: 100px;
margin-left: -16px;
float: left;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* fix for IE6 */
* html .hitarea {
display: inline;
float:none;
}
.treeview li {
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 0pt 3px 16px;
}
.treeview a.selected {
background-color: #eee;
}
#treecontrol { margin: 1em 0; display: none; }
.treeview .hover { color: red; cursor: pointer; }

There are 3 lines of code that I have changed from when it works: Code: $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$state3."</a></div><br />"; $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$county3."</a></div><br />"; $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$city3."</a></div><br />"; From the above 3 lines, the only thing I did which seemed to break the code was move the </div> from in front of <a href ...> to after </a> So the original lines (where it worked) looked like: Code: $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"></div><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$state3."</a><br />"; $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"></div><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$county3."</a><br />"; $treeview .= "<li class=\"expandable\"><div class=\"hitarea expandable-hitarea\"></div><a href=\"#\" style=\"margin-left:20px;\">".$city3."</a><br />"; EDIT: Ok... so not everything works in the other browsers either. Basically if I hit refresh with the new code, then collapse and expand seem to work in reverse.... So not sure how to correct this, but any help would be appreciated... Here is what it looks like (Screen shots): Working Properly in FF After a refresh in Firefox (This is after hitting collapse) Working Properly in IE6 (Before making the changes mentioned above) Not Working in IE6 The site is not currently accessible which is why I'm including screen shots. However, if you need to see them, let me know and I will make it live.... Heading out now, so was trying to get a post up at least before I left... Thanks.. if you need further information or additional code, let me know. Any help would, of course, be appreciated. |
