CSS - Please Explain My Mistake .. Noob Problem
Hi ..
I have decided to teach myself Web Development .. and I have jumped into HTML and CSS first .. and will be branching off to PHP once I have a solid HTML and CSS foundation .. To teach myself practically .. I have decided to make a webpage that does nothing but have a blank coloured background and an area to write text that is surrounded by a rounded rectangle constructed of gifs .. I know this may not be the most efficient way to do this, but I am using this as an exercise to gain a greater holistic understanding of the way CSS works with HTML. The desired outcome is to have a rounded rectangle box that will be drawn to fit its container, so that it can be reused all over the place ... The code is pasted below, and any images can be substituted for the ones in my code .. but my question is .. : in the attached code, why is the final element not lined up horizontally with the other 2 elements ?? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "(*********)"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <div id="body"> <div id="container"> <div id="box_top_left"> </div> <div id="box_top"> </div> <div id="box_top_right"> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> CSS Code div#container{ width: 500px; height : 500px; position:absolute; background:#7868723; } div#box_top_left{ width: 10px; height: 10px; display: block; float:left; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: ******* } div#box_top_right{ width: 16px; height: 10px; float: right; position: relative; display: block; top: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: ******** } div#box_top{ width: 100% - 26px; height: 10px; display:block; position:relative; left : -5px; margin:0; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-image: ******* } Thanks for any assistance you can give ... Similar TutorialsBasic positioning problem... Suppose I want to stack two (or more) elements on top of eachother, sort of a column. I want a masthead (images), and boxes of text below it. So I tried this: Quote: <html> <head> <title>No Jail Test Page</title> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> div.box_one { width: 100%; background: url(./Image_Back.gif); } div.image_left { float: left; } div.image_right { float: right; } div.box_two { background-color: #F4F4F4; width: 100%; border: 2px solid #006633; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="box_one"> <div class="image_left"><img src="images1.gif"></div> <div class="image_right"><img src="images2.gif"></div> </div> <div class="box_two"> Some Text Some Text </div> </body> </html> But the images end up over the text, so obviously I don't understand the positioning. SEE ATTACHED IMAGE Can someone point out my positioning problem here and recomend a tutorial? [EDIT] This actually looks almost perfict in IE, it's in FF that things "stack up" on eachother... Hi All, I have been trying to find out a small mistake in my css since yesterday morning. But now I can't just go with it and seeking someone else eye to correct it. Basically its working fine in FF but not coming properly in IE7. The bottom background is not comming and I think the main background is overriding it. Please check the below url and let me know where I am doing wrong. http://dev.axia.co.uk/test.htm Thanks you for your time. Hi all, I'm a beginner to floating divs etc. so I've been following a tutorial to get what I need and I'm tweaking it here and there. Trouble is I've obviously tweaked something incorrectly. The two column's in the contentHoldingDiv don't line up correctly. Does anyone feel like taking a look at my code and telling me what I've done wrong (any other comments freely welcomed - it's the only way I'll learn). Here's the HTML: Code:

Cheers, Lee Hello Can u hlp me please? have look at www.verexelto.sk/test/test1.php - this is good version of the page but without any text in the footer. after i try tu put any content into footer (f.e. some text) the page wil not do this properly (the way i want it :-) ) have look at www.verexelto.sk/test/test.php (scroll down) What should i have to do , what am i doing wrong? Thank you Can someone explain to me how between this html and this css that this site determines the position of each of the divisions? I'm not seeing how exactly it is interpreting the code to display the header and then move down to the next row, then display the left sidebar and the content and then move to the next row, then display the footer. How is this being done? I hope that makes sense. I'm starting to grasp alot of the CSS but I'm still not seeing how it is continuing on down from one division/frame to the next row and then displaying 2 divisions/frames and then moving to the next, and I think once I get this concept I'll be set.

Is it merely reaching the end of the width as is determined by the expression in the #page-wrap width statement and then moving to the next line using the margins determined in the #page-wrap #inside? Thanks for the help! Hi i'm using the html below, for some reason in Dreamweaver the two images in the two lower cells appear on the left, and the text on the top button is up the top of the table cell. Is my code creating a conflict somewhere that would cause this? When I open it in Firefox or IE it looks fine, its just looking weird in design mode.

Cheers, Mark link There's something odd going on with the first quote box div and h2 that I can't quite work out, it doesn't appear to happen to subsequent divs (even though they're just copied and pasted...) Any ideas what could be causing that and how to fix it? Thanks --James Hello! I have been teaching myself the ins & outs of CSS for presentation & there is something I'm not exactly clear about "selectors, classes, ids, rules & definitions, delimiters" and the like. Sometimes I notice people are creating rules for elements or classes that look very different...I think this has to do with parent elements or selectors/properties, but I am not sure. Here's a few examples of rules that I don't understand: Code: div#navigation #navigation .navigation a .body div#navigation > a I know how to define a rule & class, for example #navbar to set the properties such as text color, background, etc. even a background image for this DIV. What I'm trying to say is "What the heck is the difference between using a Hash mark (#) versus a period (.) and when the heck did > or < come into play?" No tutorials on learning CSS seemed to actually explain these, just tell you "that's how it is," so I am very curious to learn more. Thanks for your help! So what exactly is vertical-align for, if it doesn't do this? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <body style='color:white;'> <div style='display:block; height:600px; background-color:orange; vertical-align:middle;'> <div style='position:absolute; display:block; height:50%; width:75%; background-color:green; vertical-align:middle; text-align:center;'> <span style='position:absolute; display:block; line-height:100%; vertical-align:middle;'>Please Center me</span> </div> </div> </body> </html> Hello i am new.. I basically need help with a css pop up.. i dont know nothing about coding.. I just used the method on my myspace profile. Its just a simple.. thumbnail display a large image when mouseover. It all works fine but FF and IE both put a border around the thumbnail and large images. I think its maninly because my method is also linking th ethumbnail back to my page.. i want to get rid of that too but don't know how. Anyway this is what i have.. Code:
a.class1:link,
a.class1:visited,
a.class1:active{color:FFFFFF;
font-family:georgia, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size:0px;
text-decoration:none;}
a.class1 span{display:none;}
a.class1:hover span {display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 120px;
left:0;
z-index: 5;
filter:none;
color:FFFFFF;
background-color:transparent;
filter:none;
font-size: 0px;
font-family:georgia, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
text-decoration:none;}
and the in the div contents obviously this.. Code: <a href="url-2-my-profile"class="class1"><img src="thumbnail-url"/><span><img src="large-image-url"/></span></a> I know i don't need all that font stuff since i have removed this and that and it still works.. but i just want to know how to remove the borders.. even if i remove the colour codes it will still default a colour border. So i just want simply image pop up without borders and without needing to link the thumbnail to a url. Thanks Hi, i'm new to CSS, started yesterday! And have overcame some problems, but have got some problems i cannot solve.. I know that there are several errors in the code below, like doc type but i dont think that is the problem.

Hi folks. I need some help with css. I have a wordpress template that has a thumbnail populated on a home page. The problem is that it looks like this: URL http://i55.tinypic.com/aoulhf.png and what I would like it to look like is this : URL http://i55.tinypic.com/2wd22r8.png And the code of the page is he Code:
<strong><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></strong><br>
<?php get_the_image( array( 'image_scan' => true,'width' => '75', 'height' => '75' ) ); ?><?php the_content_limit(80, ""); ?>
I know I should use DIV tags and css but I don't know how. Please ,anybody help. Thanks Hi all probably a stupid question but i cant find the answer i am making a site and when i zoom out in the browser the page sits to the left, how do i make it stay in the center Cheers I have a footer image on a site and I want to line up some of the text on the left and some of the text on the right. The relevant css footer code is this: Code: #footer {
clear:both;
background:url(images/footer.jpg);
width:780px;
height:71px;
color:#ffffff;
font-size:xx-small;
}
#footer .notover {padding-top:54px;}
The xhtml is this: Code: <div id="footer"> <div class="notover">All this stuff is left aligned 54px from the top of the image.</div> </div> Now, how do I add some text on the same line as the class="notover" text that is right aligned? I thought it would be as simple as creating another div that specified text-align:right; but the text shows up right aligned and way below the footer image. Thanks in advance. Hey all. I'm just starting out in web design. To make things even more complicated, I'm using CSS for my first ever website. So I'm building this website from scratch, using online tutorials and such. But I'm running into a problem. On a PC, everything displays perfectly in IE and Firefox. But on a Mac, the nav bar is stretched with dead space after the last list item. This is the same in Safari, Firefox, and IE for Mac. Would you guys give it a look and maybe help me around the issue? What I'd like is no dead space after the last list item on any computer, (if you're looking on a PC, it appears correct) and I want a fixed width. Site CSS Thanks. Hello, I'm a self taught web designer, i've not really got much experience of CSS and i'm having a few issues with some alignment. I'm in the process of developing a site for my cousin, what i'm trying to achieve is the left menu to be at the top of the page, and the text to be in the center of the screen, as i'm new here i'm not able to post a link to my site, so have posted the CSS below. Playing with css and looking at Google I've padded the text so its where i want it, but i can't get the menu to come up from below the text. Any help / links in the right direction would be really appreciated. Code for the text: Code: p.mainbody
{
z-index: 1000;
vertical-align:top;
padding-left: 200px;
padding-right: 250px;
text-align:left;
code for the menu: Code: /* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, a fixed width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarVertical
{
vertical-align:top;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
cursor: default;
width: 10em;
/*height:10em;*/
}
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
{ z-index: 1000; }

padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 10em;
}
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
{
margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
padding: 0;

Many Thanks Ok, so I've done the w3schools.com tutorial on CSS and I still have some basic syntax questions. In my wordpress style.css I see the following entry: #featured-top .featuredpost img { background: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 0 5px 0; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid #DDDDDD; } Does this mean that these rules apply only to elements in this specific order? Like, in English, "rule applies to an img, that has a parent in the class featuredpost, that has a parent with id = featured-top"? If so, does the featuredpost class have to be defined previously or is this considered the definition? Second question, in the HTML I see this syntax: <div id="wpsb" class="widget wpsb_opt_in"> I didn't think you could have spaces in a class name. Or does this mean that wpsb is in 2 classes? When I search style.css I don't see the "wbsb_opt_in" class anywhere. Thanks Well, I know CSS however I am a bit confused with fixed width and liquid layouts as far as I know fixed width is where you set a divs width in pixels and liquid is in % so it scales to the users screen size? Which one is best to use? Also, I have the following style sheet which I created, I am guessing this is a liquid layout? Code: * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-size: 15px;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
#header h1 {
padding-left: 25px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#content {
padding: 10px;
margin-left: 200px;
border-left: 1px solid white;
}
#content h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
text-align: center;
}
#nav {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
padding-left: 15px;
width: 20%;
}
#nav li {
list-style-type: none;
}
#nav a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#footer {
clear: left;
border-top: 1px solid white;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
width: 100%;
}
a {
color: silver;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover, a:focus {
font-weight: bold;
}
a:visited {
font-style: italic;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
margin: 10px;
}
p {
margin: 5px;
}
select {
width: 30%;
}
textarea {
width: 40%;
}
.floatimage {
float: left;
margin: 10px;
}
Hey, I think i just need someone else to look at this for me. I've been coding all day and would probably be able to figure this out if I just went to bed and did it tomorrow. If you roll over an image that's alson an anchor at www.deeperdevotion.com/wp, you'll find that it places a background-color or underline or both on it. The thing is, I can't find the code in my CSS that's causing me the trouble. my css is located at www.deeperdevotion.com/wp/wp-content/themes/dd/styles/101106.css Thanks. Hello. I am new at css and web design so if these are easy problems please excuse. First of all, the website url http://www.onlinecasinoboss.com In Firefox, the unordered lists <ul> in the left column do not display correctly. The left margin is way too big. I'm not sure why, please look at the page in IE to see what I want it to look like. And in Internet Explorer, the spacing between my top image, header bar, and main page is screwy. There should be no space between the header image and header bar (the flags are in this area). Also there should only be 2px spacing between the header and the main page, however it appears there is atleast 24px there. Again please refer to the page in FF to see what I want it to look like. I like css, and have decided to pursue my first design in css based off of the many professional designers reconmendations and reviews. But I must say it is a major headache to deal with cross-browser/platform display problems. And what professional designer wants to rely on 'css-hacks' when producing a product for a major vender. Just beginner bitching. Thanks for the help! |
