CSS - Increase Size Of Div By Content

Hi there,

I'm completely new to CSS. I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right.

Code:

<font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1>

I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS

This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either

Code:

fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;}

Thanks

So when using Netscape 7.2 & Opera 7.5 and MSIE 6.0,


How do you get a simple tag like

body {
font-size:small;
}

to be equal in all browsers?

Setting IE Text Size to Medium, and Opera's Zoom to 100% (both defaults) and Netscape 7.2 to 120% (not the default) is one way, but is there a CSS way?

By the way, the child element hack "body>div {property}" wasn't working no matter what I tried, by not working I mean to say Netscape never would read it or apply it.

It appeared to be that Opera & IE need to read the same value while Netscape needs to apply a larger size to be equal to IE's and Opera's rendering.

I could see this as potentially being really easy to do or really hard to do. I'm hoping for the former. Suppose I have 3 divs, A, B, C and that I want the total width of A + B + C to equal the width of the screen. Suppose also that I want them to be inline. How can I have B to be a fixed width while A and C expand depending on the screen width (such that the width of A = the width of C)?

I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description.

If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the
width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages
design.


What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line
break after the width of the table is reached???


There is a solution that I put a div in td and then
Code:

#desc {
	width:"100%";
	width::fixed;
	overflow:scroll;}

but it is not exactly what I want

Hi there,

I have a content glider script, but I have added it to a wrapper with a background image.

The css is using a white background colour so when a new layer is glided up, it covers the one underneath it. However, I want the background to be transparent to show the background image underneath....

If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read.

Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide?

This is my CSS:

PHP Code:
.glidecontentwrapper{
position: relative; /* Do not change this value */

height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/

overflow: hidden;
}
/*
    Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px
    Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding
    Adjust related containers below according to comments
*/


.glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/
position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */
background: white;
visibility: hidden;
width: 330px;
}
/*
 Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px
    Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding)
*/

.glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */
width: 360px;
margin-top: 6px;
text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right"
background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/
} 





Any help would be great!
Thanks.

Well I managed to find a partial solution by adding "clear" to the "statusDiv" like so:

Code:

.statusDiv {
	clear: both
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
	height: 20px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	}

This kicks sibling divs onto their own line (which is what I wanted) but the spacing between divs is 2 pixels and I can't seem to find any combination of padding, margins etc to get the spacing down to one pixel.

Does anyone know of a way to control the inter-div spacing when "clear" is defined?

Thanks

Ken

I'm trying to make a few divs to create the same basic functionality as an outline (with disclosure triangles etc...) and am having alignment problems.

The first row renders perfectly but the text of subsequent rows overlaps the text of first row.

Here's the html:
Code:

<div id="contentBlock" class="bodyText">
	<div class='statusDiv'>
		<div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div>
		<div class="disclosureDivLabel">New</div>
	</div>
	<div class='statusDiv'>
		<div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div>
		<div class="disclosureDivLabel">Open</div>
	</div>
</div>

And here's the CSS:
Code:

#contentBlock {
	position: absolute;
	top: 130px;
	left: 200px;
	height: 101%;   /* Hack to force vertical scroll bars */
	right: 280px;
	min-width: 400px;
	visibility: visible;
	display: block;
	}

.statusDiv {
	clear: both
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
	height: 20px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	}

.disclosureCollapsed {
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_collapsed_wide.png);
	display: block;
	text-align: right;
	/*position: absolute;*/
	float: left;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	width: 18px;
	height: 20px;
	}

.disclosureCollapsed:hover {
	cursor: pointer;
	}

How would I make the text in each subsequent row (statusDiv) line up?

Thanks for any help

Still working on it, but something caught me and I'm clueless. See, I'm still learning Tableless CSS, and well... I'm not sure how to have it so that the content doesn't run over the footer like that. As it should be more like...

For CSS reference, here is where the css file is located:

Thanks in advance!

New to CSS, but I'm looking for the following:

I would like to create this matrix, with say 3/3 fields. Each of these fields will have an image of a particular size. The size for all 9 fields are identical. So something like:

*******************************
* * * *
* Image 1 * Image 2 * Image 3 *
* * * *
*******************************
* * * *
* Image 4 * Image 5 * Image 6 *
* * * *
*******************************
* * * *
* Image 7 * Image 8 * Image 9 *
* * * *
*******************************

I defined the matrix using div with the code:

.matrixX10 {
margin-top: 10%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixX20 {
margin-top: 20%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixX30 {
margin-top: 30%;
position: absolute;
}
.matrixY10 {
margin-left: 10%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixY20 {
margin-left: 20%;
position: absolute;
}

.matrixY30 {
margin-left: 30%;
position: absolute;
}

I defined each field as in eg:
<div class="matrixX10 matrixY10">image 1</div>

That actually works, but I would like to define the size of these images. Defining the size of the div does do anything (do I overlook something) and I do not like to, well define all images individually. Do I need to add another class, or am I writing a really messy code?

hi, someone using foxfire keeps saying the my font is really really tiny, I have my css file like: Code:

body { background: #FFFFFF;
/* for internet explorer */
scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #494969; scrollbar-arrow-color: #494969; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #494969; 
margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; border-top: 1px solid #8E9397; border-left: 1px solid #8E9397; font-color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 8pt; text-align: left; }

a:link,a:active,a:visited { color: #494969; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #494969; position: relative; top: -1px; left: -1px; }
hr { background: transparent; color: #494969; height: 1px; border-width: 0px; }
fieldset { margin: 0; padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #494969; }
legend { margin: 0; padding: 7px; color: #494969; background: transparent; font-weight: bold; }
img { border: 0px; }
table { background: transparent; }
tr { background: transparent; }
td { background: transparent; color: #494969; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 70%; }
input, textarea, select { color: #494969; font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background: transparent; border: 1px solid #494969; border-style: inset; text-align: center; text-indent: 2px; }

form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }

any idea on whats wrong? and I would of changed the % to an actual value but I wanted to make it so people can control the size of the font to lager or smaller


here is a preview with that css file in use : http://www.dbznetwork.net/

Whats the best way to fix font size?

I use CSS. The font size seems to stay fix on IE but not on Mozilla and Netscape.

Also I notice when I use adgui font it stay fix no matter in what browser and no matter at what text view. Why is that. Are there more of this kinda fonts?

Bottom line, whats the best way to fix the size of fonts regardless of browser and at what text view.

Thanks for you help

I am new to adsense. I was wondering if I should specify the size of each ad in css (via the div I have around each ad). Or is this unnecessary? (I am not asking if I can change the designated size of the ads in css, but just if I should put in the width and height of the standard ad sizes I have chosen). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible to define the size of a DIV, by distance to the edges?

Hello,

What should be the font-size in my table to get back to the 1em of the document?

Thanks,

Please help!

I've got two rounded boxes one is contained in the other. If the innerbox grows, the outer box should grow with it. Firefox does a great job and grows with it but IE7 doesn't grow, any help would be greatly appreciated.

here's the CSS i've used for IE:
Code:

/* first rounded box */
/* images are set in the index.php */
 /* height and width details */
.rbtop div, .rbtop, .rbbot div, .rbbot {
	width: 100%;
	height: 14px;
	font-size: 1px;
}
/*.rbroundbox { width: 60em; margin: auto; background-color: #37a5f0;} */
.rbroundbox { position: absolute; top: 15px; width: 800px; margin: 5em 0 0 2em; background-color: #37a5f0; } 
.rbcontent  { margin: 0 14px; min-height: 570px; height: 100%; }
/* EOF first rounded box */

/* second rounded box */
/* images are set in the index.php */
/* height and width details */
.rbtop2 div, .rbtop2, .rbbot2 div, .rbbot2 {
	width: 100%;
	height: 24px;
	font-size: 1px;
}
/*.rbroundbox { width: 60em; margin: auto; }*/
.rbroundbox2 { position: absolute; top: 5px; width: 577px; margin: 9.5em 0 0 12em; background-color: #9cd5f0;} 
.rbcontent2  { margin: 0 14px; min-height: 375px; }
/* EOF second rounded box */

here's the html i've used:
Code:

<body>
<div class="rbroundbox">
    <div class="rbtop"><div></div></div>
    <div class="rbcontent">
      <div class="rbroundbox2">
            <div class="rbtop2"><div></div></div>
            <div class="rbcontent2">
               <p><?=$content?></p>
            </div><!-- /rbcontent2 -->
      		<div class="rbbot2"><div></div></div>
      </div><!-- /rbroundbox2 -->      
    </div><!-- /rbcontent -->
    <div class="rbbot"><div></div></div>
</div>
<!-- /rbroundbox -->

</body>
