CSS - Css Overlay And Java Slideshow Issue

I suspect that the solution to this problem really involves a more thorough analysis of my code than is fair to inflict upon this audience, but just in case there's something obvious I've overlooked...

I've incorporated a lightbox into a site I'm building at www.charlescarey.co.uk/works.php

When clicking on thumbnails to activate the lightbox, a 'shadow overlay' is supposed to 'grey out' the rest of the page, but it doesn't work; it only greys out a small area to the left.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help appreciated.

Hi

I have a image gallery and I would like delete buttons or red little x's ontop of each image.
I dont want to make the image background DIV
I want to keep it <img src="image.jpg">
Is it possible to do this?

Louis

Thank you for stopping by!

I'd like some guidance about a problem that has to do with CSS (and a bit of JavaScript I guess) and trying to position an overlaying DIV.

The problem description is quite simple;
When I click an image on the "main" area, a div gets, with a little help from javascripting, its display property set to "block". This surely and safely makes the div's content appear as it should and all is fine.
I now have a headache from trying to figure out how I could position this div. I know what I'd like to do but I can't quite figure out how to get it right.

I'd like to have the popup-div center itself on the page, regardless of the size of contents inside it.
The content mostly consists of text of varied amounts and next to no images or other media content.

If you got any ideas about this or got a link to a website that's similar to what I'm trying to accomplish or any input at all, feel free to make a comment! It's much appreciated!

Here's what the popup CSS looks like atm:
Code:

div.PopUp {
	width: 550px;
	border: dashed silver 1px;
	display: none;
	position: absolute;
	left: 150px;
	top: 50px;
	background-color: black;
	text-align: justify;
	font-size: 10pt;
	color: black;
}

Not sure about this one- maybe someone can help shed some light on it?

I have a <div> that contains a form. This div is dynamically-sized and floated left. What I want to do is place a nested <div> inside it so that it will cover the form below it.

What's happening is that if I add the nested <div>, it pushes the form in it's container <div> down, which is obviously not what I want. I have tried using z-index on this nested <div> but with no success.

Here is the code I'm using:
Code:

<div id="formdiv" style="display:block; padding-right:15px; padding-top:10px; border-right:#A0A0A0 1px dotted; float:left; width:auto; height:100%;">

    <div id="overlaydiv" style="top:0px; left:0px; width:100%; height:100%; background-color:#FF0000; z-index:500;"></div>

    <form>
       ...
    </form>

</div>

There is other <div> tags before and after the 'formdiv', which are part of the page layout, but do not need to be covered by the 'overlaydiv'. I should note that 'formdiv' is itself inside a container <div>.

I have tried various combination of CSS settings, but they don't give the same result. position:absolute; covers EVERYTHING within the uppermost container <div>, obviously not what I want. I've tried putting the form into it's own <div>, but I get the same result- the form just gets pushed below the 'overlaydiv'.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi All,


Been a while since I have been here, been doing other jobs in place of website design sadly! Something I enjoy a great deal!

Anyway, I am in the process of making a new website and I have discovered overlays - what a great idea. They look fantastic.

Now I have designed an overlay for my site:

http://www.wellandpower.net/website2/index.php

The bottom link on this page makes an overlay appear with a new specification sheet in it. The dotted grey background (soon to be changed to another design) is held in the #overlay div, the specification sheet is housed in the '#overlayholder' div.

The overlay div has a property of text-align: center; - but the overlayholder div is not aligning to the centre. I have posted the CSS of the two elements below. It works in IE7, but not in FF.

Secondly, when the overlayholder appears and content is added to it, the overlay DIV does not stretch in either browser, why not? I found this strange.

CSS Code:
Original - CSS Code #overlay { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width:100%; height:100%; text-align: center; z-index: 1000; background-image:url(/images/checkerboard.png); } #overlay #overlayholder { margin-top: 50px; padding: 10px; width: 850px; text-align: center; background-color: #FFFFFF; }

  

 #overlay {


      visibility: hidden;


      position: absolute;


      left: 0px;


      top: 0px;


      width:100%;


      height:100%;


      text-align: center;


      z-index: 1000;


      background-image:url(/images/checkerboard.png);


 }


 #overlay #overlayholder {


     margin-top: 50px;


     padding: 10px;


     width: 850px;


     text-align: center;


     background-color: #FFFFFF;      


 } 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hopefully I'm just not stumbling on the right CSS to fix the bugs. I understand that these same bugs might be attributed to the myspade code or myspace rules limiting html/css.

Here's the mock-up: www.myspace.com/brovizion

2 bugs (1 in firefox, 1 in ie (6.0)):

1. (firefox only) There are 2 nav bars in the "innerwrapper" div (both black), one at the top, and one at the bottom. On the lower nav bar, my background image that is supposed to tile vertically throughout the whole "innerwrapper" div disapppears.

2. (ie only) The upper and lower nav bars (whose links are set to display: block) are on each of their own lines, yet still floated horizontally. This one is hard to explain except to say the nav bars should work like they do in firefox, but in ie they are on their own program. Viewing the site in both browsers will clearly demonstrate the problem. (ie 6.0, haven't tested in 7.0 yet.)

I understand that the nature of this project (a design that must reside in a div overlay on a myspace page) makes for a million different possibilities for why it's messed up, but maybe if someone can help me brainstorm some potential fixes, I'll stumble onto something that works.

I'll post my code as well.

Hi,

I want to create a page where users can advertise using templates overlaid with their own text. Many of these templates are cascaded forming a montage effect (left to right, top to bottom). I figured this could be done using CSS or PHP. Here is the CSS version.....
User enters data in form (subsequently stored in database) User chooses background image (80px by 80px) CSS used to style the text with the chosen image as a background.....in a sized container.
I know this can be done and have achieved it with varying levels of success, but am unsure as to the best method.

Q1 - What would be the best tag or container to use? The text will be used as a link and must display text when 'hovered' over. Should the text be inside <a>, <li>, <div>, etc etc. I don't know which is best for this purpose.

I know the <acronym> tag can be used for 'hover' text, but besides misusing a tag, it's not supported in Opera (so far as I can see) and is displayed differently in firefox/IE.

Q2 - What is the best method of displaying additional text (in multiple browsers) on 'hovering' the link; could I use a 'hidden' div (which is set visible on hover) rather than a tag property, and if so, how could I make it work for links at the edge of the screen (will the layer appear offscreen)? Not sure how to do this?

Thanks for your time, all responses greatly appreciated.

I am developing a help manual and I'd love to include screenshots in the CSS section that shows the page with an opaque type overlay with a description of each CSS rule.

Something like the Developer tools in IE or FF when you use the "select element by click" function, except that I'm after all elements selected by default (together with the CSS ID).

Is there such a thing?

I have a web page shell that loads various content into different cells. The entire page is essentially a table. I have 4 graphic overlays that I want to impose on each cell to round the corners. I've tried doing it this way:

CSS:
Code:

.LeftPanelTable {
    WIDTH: 182px;
    border-style: none }

.LeftPanelCell {
    WIDTH: 160px;
    vertical-align: Top;
    border-style: none }

.ActionOptionsPanel {
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    color: #000000;
    font-family: verdana;
    font-size:  12px;
    border-style: none}

#soft_corner_ul {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif") no-repeat top left}

#soft_corner_ur {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ur.gif") no-repeat top right}

#soft_corner_ll {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ll.gif") no-repeat bottom left}

#soft_corner_lr {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_lr.gif") no-repeat bottom right}

HTML:
Code:

<table class="LeftPanelTable">
    <tr>
        <td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
	    <div id="soft_corner_ul"><div id="soft_corner_ur"><div id="soft_corner_ll"><div id="soft_corner_lr">
	        This is the table cell content
            </div></div></div></div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

However, I still see a faint border around the cell, which spoils the effect of the rounded corners.

If I change it like this:

Code:

.ActionOptionsPanel {
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    background-image:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: bottom right;
    color: #000000;
    font-family: verdana;
    font-size:  12px;
    border-style: none}

Code:

<table class="LeftPanelTable">
    <tr>
        <td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
	    This is the table cell content
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

then the border doesn't appear, but I don't know any way to do this with more than one image.

Suggestions?

Thanks...

Please look at this page

http://www.tmhdesign3.com

and this one

http://www.tmhdesign3.com/real-estate-broker.asp

The first one used a flash file, the second does not.

On the first page I want the dropdown navigation to overlay on the flash but it does not. I played with z-index to no success...

I am trying to create an image gallery/slideshow effect using hover .....however, it isn't working to well. What I want to accomplish is have a user 'hover' over a thumbnail, and have the background-image for that particular tag come into view(it's currently background-positioned off screen.)

Has anybody had success with this? Let me know.

This isn't working:
Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>

<style type='text/css'>
	#test {
		background-image: url('test.jpg');
		background-repeat: no-repeat;
		background-position: -4000px;
		font-weight: bold;
		color: red;
		border-style: solid;
		width: 400px;
		height: 400px
	}
	#test:hover {
      background-position: 200px 200px;
	}
</style>

</head>

<body>

<div id='test'>This is a test.</div>

</body>

</html>

After putting a js slideshow at the top of the page I am having trouble getting anything to right of it. Every defaults to the next line.

Any tips?

Thank you!

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL CSS PROBLEM FOR THIS ISSUE?

It suppose to look the way it looks in IE. It is a little off in Firefox. I have been try'n several things to solve this particular issue but cannot. It seems as if the bottom and top row stretches and makes the effect I was trying to accomplish look off in FF. You can understand what I'm sayin' when you view both. Does anyone know why it is doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, the new Drupal site I've developed is artemis2taste (dot) gr for an ice cream shop in Greece - The site loads fine in Firefox, Chrome and Opera but not in Internet Explorer (versions 6,7,8). I would appreciate it if you could visit my website and take a look at my css. The main content area is divided in two columns by the "composite layout" module. The "last" column (the one on the right) contains collections of images for each one of the site's pages. I've used a jQuery script to make a slideshow with simple next/previous buttons for the photos that appear there. The problem is I tried so many combinations of floats, padding, margins, inline etc for the right column and the photos keep stacking one below the other (you can only see a small part of the second image, as I have a fixed height for the container div), also hiding the slideshow navigation links. I can't find a way to make these images appear on the same horizontal direction... I would really appreciate suggestions on how to solve this issue...
Thanx in advance

Dear Forum,
I am designing a website using HTML and Java for the drop down menus. Although for one page this seemed ok at the begining, now I want to add links to other catagories where I only want to change the main body of the page. Up to now I have had to insert the Java script into every page I want to link to. The problem is A) The pages blink and the menu is lost while the graphics are being loaded, B) If I need to change the menus in the future I have to change all pages.
Is there a way I can use CSS to keep the consistency of the Top and sides of the page and only change the body for other pages. I can do this with frames but I prefer not to use them. The test page can be seen at http://test.kipseli.com

Thanks
Rob
