I am curious if it is possible to add an element like the one I have marked with a "?". If so could you please share with me some further details. REgards Chad Similar TutorialsI am working on a site design and I have a div that is on another z-index because I wish it to appear on top. I would like that div position to be relative to the a parent div. Here is a link to the current issus: http://www.rustbug.com/the19thhole/index.html page code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Stephen hi I am shifting to web 2.0 therefore learning a lot of things that I used to do with tables. Now I have a task to make a form and also display text in parallel style e.g Name User Name ------- Rating stars Email User Email ------- Balance amount to accomplish this in tables we might make two cells to hold Name, EMail in one and Rating and Balance in the second then in each CELL further rows and cells for each entity e.g Name User Name how can we display this kinda info using pure CSS? I found a website online http://www.compare-voip.net/viatalk.php there towards the bottom you can see how the email and rating stats are displayed in two columns, this is done with tables though I want to do the same with CSS only thanks in advance Hi Guys, I have a layout which is currently setup to be liquid. Aka it spreads out depending on how big the browser window is. I'm trying to get it to be a set width. I can't quite get it figured out. Here is the link to the current layout (made to be generic). It's a layout I got from a CCS class. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.html The css is here http://65.175.116.253/design/css.css The entire package can be downloaded here http://65.175.116.253/design/design.rar Now, to explain how I want it to look, I took my browser and made it just wide enough to show how wide I want the layout to be, and took a screenshot. But I can't get my css to make the whole layout that wide.. I'm scracthing my head here because it's probably really easy. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.jpg Let's not worry about the exact width, but I want to define in the css the pixel width, so that can be changed whenever. Here is the CSS Code: /*--- Generic Styles ---*/

CSS newb here and this is my first full CSS page layout ever, so go easy. Some of the page elements do not stretch properly to match the page content.

Any help is much appreciated. I want to wrap a few items in a container and have them laid out horzontal and not flow vertically. suggestions ? I deleted the other posting as it take too long to work on it and it doesn't work. So, I got the other code from google search and decided to use it. There, I rearrange, redo, customzie the scripts to make it work better. Now I have one problem. See the class "wrapper" that make use of the height. I when I have it set at 100%, the footer extend too far down and the vertical scroll bar appear at the right. This is not what I want. I figure maybe it's because of the float that the browser doesn't know the real height of the header and footer. Can anyone help? I would really apppreciated it. Code:

Thanks, FletchSOD Hello, I am trying to make my own webpage, and i downloaded an opensource html document along with the css files. It all works fine, except that i want to change the color of links on the page ( currently its just an underline ) i would like them to be blue. My problem is i have no idea which part of my css file does this? Can anyone help, the color portion of the css file is he Quote: html{height: 100%;} body { background: #837560; color: #70695A; } blockquote { background: #FFFFFF; color: #70695A; border-color: #767676; } #main { background: #FFFFFF url(back.png) repeat-y; color: #70695A; } #links, #footer, #menu, #menu li a { background: #FFFFFF url(menu.png); color: #DBD7D1; border-color: #D7D7D7; } #links a, #footer a, #links a:hover, #footer a:hover { background: transparent; color: #DBD7D1; } #logo { background: #FFFFFF url(logo.jpg) no-repeat; color: #70695A; } #logo h1 { background: transparent; color: #FFFFFF; } h1, #column2 h1 { background: transparent; color: #CE7014; border-color: #CAAE90; } /*hover color on menu at top*/ #menu li a:hover, #menu li a#selected, #menu li a#selected:hover { background: #FFFFFF url(menu_hover.png); color: #70695A; } /*This is text color of the main text*/ #content, #column2 a, #column2 a:hover { background: transparent; color: #70695A; } /*This will effect link on right colum your sidebar*/ .sidebaritem, .sidebaritem a, .sidebaritem a:hover { background: transparent; color: #DBD7D1; } .sbihead { background: #FFFFFF url(sbi_header.png); color: #70695A; } .sbihead h1 { background: transparent; color: #70695A; } .sbilinks li a { background: #FFFFFF url(link.png); color: #DBD7D1; } .sbilinks li a:hover { background: #B7B7B7; color: #CE7014; } input, textarea { background: #FFFFFF; color: #70695A; border-color: #CAAE90; } The links i want to change are all in "column2". Thanks: I've been doing a little bit of experimenting with YUI grids, and I have to admit I'm having some trouble understanding how they work. I've noticed that when you define a couple of columns, the columns are floating, but the parent container automatically expands with the child content. As far as I know, the only ways to do that are to float the parent container, or set overflow: auto (or hidden) to the parent. Using Firebug, it appears neither of these are happening. Here's my code: Code:

What am I missing? Hi guys, I run a web comic that's dynamically generated with PHP by placing component graphics on a page with CSS layers. I'm in the middle of a big redesign of it and in the new version I'm trying to use relative positioning instead of absolute positioning like I did before. In the original version, the comic itself was a fixed height and so the menu that appeared below was in a fixed position. I bumped it down the page by using a 1x1 transparent image as a spacer. But in the new version the comics will be of variable height. In order to keep the comics from overlapping the menu, I wanted to have each element bump the next element down depending on its size. But relative positioning is not behaving the way I'm expecting and after reading a bunch of stuff on the web, I'm still confused. Right now I'm just testing it out with three blocks: the title graphic, the "no comic found" error, and the copyright. The copyright is supposed to appear below the error message, but when I bump the error message down away from the title graphic with "position: relative; top: 100px", the copyright block doesn't take this into account and appears just under where the error message WOULD have been had I not given it a relative offset. What I want to know is how to get all the divs to adhere to the offsets of the divs that came above it so that they will continue to appear below each other like the normal HTML flowlayout. Currently, all three blocks are inside a container div so that the content will stay centered if the window is resized. Sorry if this is confusing, I'm not really sure how to explain it. Hello all, I had a simple question, I don't understand why all my html code move and not only my body code in the html. Actually, I only want that the code inside the <body> and </body> move with margin or padding. But I wrote a line that only draw a line of color, and cannot understand she is moving alsot when I adapt the css. Here is my html file : Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>This is our title.</title> <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="./myCss.css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#003399" style="height: 17px;" border="0" fra me="hsides" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td align="left"></td></t r></tbody></table> <body class="ourBodyWiki"> <a href=.>start</a></br> <p> Bienvene sur la premiere page de dokuwiki ! </p> <p> Commencons par creer deux liens : </p> <ol> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Notre premier lien : <a href="linux.html" cl ***="wikilink1" title="linux.html">Linux</a></div> </li> <li class="level2"><div class="li"> Deuxieme lien : <a href="bsd.html" class="wi kilink1" title="bsd.html">BSD</a></div> </li> <li class="level2"><div class="li"> Troisieme lien : <a href="microsoft.html" cl ***="wikilink1" title="microsoft.html">Microsoft</a></div> </li> </ol> <p> Ceci est une premier version ! </p> </body> </html> And here is my css file, in the same directory as the html file : Code:
.ourBodyWiki{
margin: 10px;
padding: 20px;
}
p{
margin: 0px;
}
Can someone help me please ? I am still newbie in css and html but I only need to do simple things. My skills are a little suspect when it comes to properly using the clear and float elements in CSS and I have searched around for a good tutorial showing when and when-not to use the elements, but have not found anything that will suffice. Anyone have any pointers or tutorials that you think might be worth checking out? TIA. I am trying to create a menu that uses drop downs (only 1 deep) and I seem to be running into problems. I've used code that I've tried to tweak but seem to be having problems. I'm sure there is code in here that I don't need, but I don't know what I can remove and what I can't. My biggest current problem is that I want a) to have more room between the menu items (to space them out) but I can't seem to find where to set that? and b) I can't seem to figure out how to set the width of the drop down items...I've tried everywhere! Here is a link to the page: http://www.thespinzone.com/temp/csshelp.html and here is the code for the css I'm using Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {
font: 78%/1.5 arial, helvetica, serif;

text-align: center;

Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why. Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code: <!--begin wrapper-->

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? i have a problem with my css layout for wordpress, please help me. in this page: http://rohitkumar.org/blog/index.php?p=29#comments 1. the comment div doesnt have a 10px margin 2. the leave ur comment heading is rite aligned ( i want it to be left aligned) 3. the title of the comment input field is not aligned with the form field 4. users with a non 1024X768 resolutions see the page differently, is there anyway this can be fixed? index.php: Code:

phew, lotta code i say (i just copied and pasted btw) thanks I'm using a similar template to the one located he http://www.linux.co.uk In Internet Explorer you'll notice a space to the right of the "sponsored links" text in the right hand portlets area. Also a space at the bottom of this same porlet on the left hand side. It seems to be aggravated at different font sizes. These spaces don't show up on Mozilla, it works perfectly. Any ideas for fixing this behaviour? Thanks.. -j. Hello. I am currently trying to learn CSS. I have experience in HTML, PHP/mySQL, and some .NET(ASP.NET & C#). I am currently working on a web design project. I know how beneficial CSS can be. I am understanding most of the concepts. I am trying to divide my page up into a parent main page. For example, there is a background color(style). On top of that is my parent main page section. It is similar to a piece of paper on top of a larger(darker) piece of paper. Then within that main page I am going to have about 3-4 separate boxes, which will make up different sections(news, departments, etc). The problem I am having is I have everthing setup with 1 box within the main page. However, I put the other box in the same nested <div class = "page"> tag and I can get it where I want in terms of left, right, and bottom positioning for margins. However, I can not get the 2 boxes to be on the same row. There is space on my page that I cannot use. With my prior experience I know that the solution to this problem was using nested tables. However, from my understanding I thought I could refrain from using tables and use some CSS techniques instead. Please give me any input you might have or any questions that might seem confusing. I might be able to post up a site so a person could see what I am trying to do. Hi, i've just started using css and have noticed a small problem in my code - i get a white bar above my header, but i'm not sure how to get rid of it. It only appers in firefox and not ie. my code is index.html Code:
