CSS - Putting A Header Around A Floating Navigation Bar?
I am a beginner with CSS, so if this question is stupid, please don't pay it too much mind. I am attempting to put a heading in the center of my page around a navigation bar that I have floating to the left, but it is not working. When I clear the float, it is stuck in one spot below the float. I cannot position the heading where I want. And if I try to use a div align, I get it off center and pretty much unmovable. If I use positioning on the header, I can only move it up and down, not into the center. So how can I counter that pesky floating nav bar?

One of my problems is that my web experience is only in tools that generate the code. I"m needing what I"m told is a simple thing to do, but not finding it easy for me I tried to post with some links to my site, etc, but the rules won't let me post any links. I have posted in another CSS site, but fine it very inactive and not getting any help. What I'm trying to do All items below to make up the header of the site. A background graphic which fills across the screen, no matter the size of the window. I have this working, although if I shrink the window too far, it overwrites the graphic in item 2 below. A left justified logo graphic. Working fine. A Centered graphic. I have this showing, but it is not quite centered right, and it is a bit smaller than actual, and I cannot get it to space down a bit. (tried padding, does nothing. Trying margin spaces everything down, including item 1 above. A right justified graphic. This shows, but is VERY SMALL, much smaller than original graphic, and it does not right justify. NOTES The current code, below, is based on a tutorial I went through, using % for width. The idea being that if it is built based on percent of width, then whatever width of window, it would adjust. I used 900px for original calculations. I find that it only fills the window as if it is 900 px wide. So I redid the percentages based on 1500px. I've done lots of reading, Googling, and been trying all kinds of stuff and getting not too far with it. Tried px for width too, seems worse. Here is a print screen of the header: [IMG]URL[/IMG] Sigh...sorry...even img code has a url, and even though it showed in preview, I see it will not display it in actual message. The site I"m working on is shuttermaster.co (not com), where you can see what it looks like now. CSS Code Only including the code relevant to the header issue. I do have menu code in CSS, but it is not complete, and I'm not having problems with that. Code: #myHeader {width:auto;height:133px; background:url(/photos/i-QXfPgvM/0/S/i-QXfPgvM-S.jpg) repeat-x} #myLogo { float:left; width:10%; height:150px ; margin-left:2.22%; display:inline; background:url(/photos/i-sttGP6Z/1/O/i-sttGP6Z.png) no-repeat} #myConame { width: 15.33%; height:90px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background:url(/photos/i-T3ZjJ8R/2/Th/i-T3ZjJ8R-Th.png) no-repeat} #myBanner { float:right; width: 29.73%; height:150px; background:url(/photos/i-BkhSxLJ/1/Th/i-BkhSxLJ-Th.png) no-repeat} The HTML Code Code: <div id="myHeader"> <div id="myLogo"></div> <div id="myConame"></div> <div id="myBanner"></div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div class="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="http://shuttermaster.co">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a class="drop" href="http://shuttermaster.co/galleries" >Galleries <!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="http://rogerewingphotography.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Landscapes/19892237_mHBK84">Landscape</a></li> <li><a href="Link">Drop 2</a></li> <li><a href="Link">Drop 3</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 7]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--> </li> <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li> <li><a href="#">Guestbook</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> I hope I have been clear enough.

I'm unsure of how to remove it. I want the navigation to be directly underneath the header.

It's really frustrating me. I've tried looking around other websites for help too. Kim Hi All, I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation; Code: <div id="navigation"> <ul id="navlist"> <li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li> <li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li> <li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a> <ul> <li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li> <li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li> <li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li> <li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li> </ul> </div> The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! Hi all, I need some help. I have implemented a fixed header on my site, but certain content is scrolling above the header while other is scrolling behind. I would like it all to scroll behind the fixed div's. hello...i have the following div Code: #Menu { float: left; width:150px; padding:10px; background-color:#667138; border-right:2px solid #A6AE62; border-top:0px solid #A6AE62; line-height:17px; z-index:1; /* Again, the ugly brilliant hack. */ voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; width:150px; } /* Again, "be nice to Opera 5". */ body>#Menu {width:150px;} and im trying to put something behind it that is the same colour but stretches from the top of this one to the bottom of the screen but am not succeding at all can anyone please help... i have tried a few ideas.... this is my current one...not sure if it is my most sensible one r not really but still here is the code..

Tim Hi, you would have already seen one of my newbie topics here today, and here is another one. I need to put a image in the corner of an absolutly positioned div. I don't know how to do that. It would be in the upper left-hand corner. Any suggestions? Perhaps I should pick up a CSS book, is there one that you reccomend. Thanks, -Sam Hello, I'm trying to put drop shadows under pictures using CSS. I made several tries but none is good yet. - Try 1 : relative positioning See http://tsaboteam.free.fr/css/relative1.htm (CSS code is included in the html file) Pro : Looks good in both FF and IE Cons : Can't put text inline - Try 2 : relative positioning with display: inline See http://tsaboteam.free.fr/css/relative2.htm Pros : Looks good in IE, text is inline Con : Looks bad in FF - Try 3 : floating positioning See http://tsaboteam.free.fr/css/float1.htm Pro : Looks good in FF Cons : Looks bad in IE, can't put text inline - Try 4 : floating positioning with display: inline See http://tsaboteam.free.fr/css/float2.htm Pro : Text is inline Cons : Looks bad in FF and IE Anyone got an idea on how to fix one of the ways I tried ? Or any thoughts of another method ? Thanks. Wow I REALLY hate CSS. For hours I have been trying to figure this out: Here is some HTML Code: <td> <div class="linksbar"> <div class="linkstext"> link - link - link - link <img src="imagelink.jpg"> <img src="imagelink2.jpg"> </div> </div> </td> [CODE] the CSS [CODE] .linksbar { height: 28px; background-image: url(bg.jpg); } .linkstext { vertical-align: middle; line-height: 28px; font-weight: bold; color: white; } First problem: in Chrome, the text rests at the bottom of the div. I want it in the middle. Second problem: in IE it looks like a mess. The text is sort of in the middle (more towards the bottom). the image links are at the very top. The image link height is like 20 or something. Hey guys, how do i put the bold command into a css sheet? I want to have bold consistantly throughout a page. ------- body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } td { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } th { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } .bodystyle { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } .small { font-family: Arial; font-size: 9px; } .medium { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; } .big { font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; } .xbig { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; } .expanded { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; letter-spacing: 2px; } .justified { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify; } .footer { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 9px; color: #999999; } .box1 { padding: 3px; border-width: medium; border-style: solid; border-color: #CCCCCC #666666 #666666 #CCCCCC; } .box2 { font-style: italic; word-spacing: 2pt; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid; } Hi I have a problem with tables and divs consider this table and divs: <TABLE> <TR> <TD> <DIV STYLE='hieght:30px'> text </DIV> <DIV STYLE='position:relative;top:-30px;height:30px'> text </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> if I don't put position:relative;top:-30px; inside the second div the height of table would be around 60px (you say) as expected but when I put position:relative;top:-30px;, I would expected to have my table shrinks to 30px not the same 60px because I put two divs on the top of each other. Obviously for one reason or another my assumption isn't correct. So how do I amend the code to get a correct height of table? Perhaps I can use tables in this way? hi, yea I got an a link wrapped around an image, but the image is coming up with tis weird pink border around it, anyon know how I can get rid of this border? thx Firefox is putting a gray border on most of my images. The border is sometimes on the bottom or off to the right. If I add padding to the images sometimes the border will go away. The images are not links. I have basically covered every option in CSS to eliminate the problem with no prevail my CSS: Code: body img{ padding: 0; border:none; -moz-border-radius: 0; -khtml-border-radius: 0; -webkit-border-radius: 0; border-radius: 0; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; text-decoration: none; outline:none; overflow: hidden; } Hopefully someone has encountered this before or has some information to help? hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? |
