CSS - School Project - Side Bar Just Wont Work, Please Help
hi, i have a small website i need to make for a school project.
Ever since i added the CSS MENU the sidebar just appears half in the middle of the site and no matter what i do, i cannot get it to the right edge. I have tried margin-right but it does nothing, even if i put it at 5. Its 5 closer away from some strange margin almost in the center of the screen HTML::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: </head> <body class="about"> <div id="page-container"> <! header---------------------------------------------------------------> <div id="header"> <h1><img src="images/headings/heading.gif" width="700" height="76" alt="Enlighten Designs" border="0" /></h1> <ul id="navigation"> <li><a href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Services</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Take a tour</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>About us</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Contact us</span></a></li> </ul> <p><h1><br>Thermal IR - What is it? </h1></p> </div> <!

I've a div container with a gray bg color then inside I've two DIV (left & right). It works on IE but on firefox the bg color the the two DIV is white and if I add bg color=GRAY for the 2 DIV the middle is white. And I don't want to put bg color on the class = left and right because if I want to reuse these with other stuff then the color won't match to other things. How can I fix this problem?

The instructions are so unclear, and nowhere anywhere on the internet does it give a straight forward example of how to do a CSS. I am starting with a blank page, using text pad link to a strict html. I dont know where to start and what to type. I am trying all the codes such as <h1> to put in my title and it wont work! I got it to change color with the body color property but thats as much as I can do. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to put heading and writing in my page, why wont it work? Is there a difference between this and when I put my markup in WYSIWYG? All I need to start is to put in my title Christinas cat page... What does a stndard layout look like that will be easy for me to understand? tyvm Hello everybody! Im am now designing a webpage with a pull-upmenu. The menu can be seen he http://www.fidelin.se/ucon/index.php The problem in IE7 is that the dropup-items will disappear when you move the mouse over them. Any suggestions on how to solve this? See the code in the post below. I have not constructed the menu myself, as you might see. Thanks in advance Johan edit: the sites @ www.tomaustin.dsl.pipex.com/webdev Ive been doing some googling and cant find out how it works how do i apply attributes like a:link, a: hover to an image I had some like Code:
image a:hover, a:link, a:active, a:visited {
border: etc..
}
this does not work..it comes up with the horrid blue and purple backgrounds how do i do it? tom: ) I am trying to get a Table Style layout using only DIVs and CSS and every combination I could find doesn't seem to work when it involves being dynamic. Statically, it works fine. In the image I attached, "1" is the final result I am trying to get. The Red and Blue boxes at the top and bottom will always have a static height of about 25px, but I want the Green in the center to be dynamic, to take up the rest of the space not occupied by the Red and Blue boxes. In example "2", if I set the green to 100% height, it will just flow outside the parent container. And if I don't set a height, as seen in example 3, it will just be a small bar and the bottom Blue box will just move on up with it. Using a table would be easy since I can easily create that basic structure that would always work, but I'm trying to make something in all DIV and CSS and the past many months, I found no solution! Anyone got any ideas that isn't Javascript based? Thanks! Hi all, I am trying to do something that I think is trivial, but just cannot seem to get this to work in IE! I am trying to draw an IFRAME that contains a gray background that contains a document that has a white background. The result is supposed to make the scrolling document in the IFRAME look like a white piece of paper with a gray border of 8 pixels. This works perfectly in Safari and Firefox, but no matter what I try, I cannot figure out how to get this to work in IE (IE8 specifically). Here is the code: PHP Code: <iframe name='monkey' src='poopy.html' scrolling='auto' frameborder='0' style='background-color:gray;width:500px;height:150px;'></iframe> And the document in the IFRAME is trivial PHP Code: <div style='padding:8px;border:1px solid black;background-color:white;'> This is a bunch of txt THis is a bunch of txt ... (repeat this text a bunch so you have a scrollbar) </div> As far as I can tell, IE implements the background-color attribute for IFRAMES, but it seems to ignore the color - either that or its whacked-out box model requires some kinda bizarre workaround that I cannot find. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Jon Hey all, So i have two files my html file: Code:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="#">this is a test</a>

a:visited {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#CC0000;text-decoration:underline;}
a:active {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
except that the styles don't work on the links. If i put the styles in <style> tags in the html head it works, but in a seperate file they don't, can someone help me? thanks! - legit Edit, whoops sorry, I had the wrong name for my css file Thanks for taking time to read my question. How do I position 3 pictures beside eachother with no spaces between them? (so they look like one continuous picture) eg: ______ |1|2|3| |_|_|_| instead of ________ |1||2||3| |_||_||_| Thanks, Brad Hi, I'm having a slight problem with my css. I want to display a comment with a number of images to the right of it. e.g "Excellent" plus 5 stars next to it (note: images of stars) so i tried this: Code: <div id = "commentText"> Excellent </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "commentText"> Fantastic </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "star"> </div> <div id = "star"> </div> css Code:
#commentText
{
font-size: 100%;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
padding-left: 30px;
}
#star
{
display: inline;
height: 24px;
background-image: url(images/star.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 20px;
}
I currently have comment with 3 stars displayed underneath it - however they are only half being shown for some reason. Any help is appreciated to help me get the desired effect. Thanks! Hi. I'm a design student working on a website for my boss, and I've come across a problem and was wondering if someone could help me out. It might be a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a body wrapper div (subtitle, body text, etc) on the left that's approx. 705 px wide and a vertical navigation bar div on the right that's about 240 px wide. I've tried floating the body wrapper left and the navigation buttons right, but one always ends up sitting below the end of the other. When I use the "clear right" or "clear left" commands, it doesn't help. Any ideas what I could do to get them to line up on the top? I want them to sit next to one another. Thank you very much for any ideas! Britta Alright, I run a joomla site and im working on making a 100% tableless xhtml compliant template. I'm very new at this so im trying my best to learn. I used the Lean version of skidoo's layout as the base and then added all the appropriate php tags needed to make it a joomla template. For the one part I need two modules to load right next to each other near the top of the page to mimic the table version of the Latest News and Popular Modules. I'll show you code snipits of how I did it. Code:
html:
<div id="contentColumn">
<div class="inside">
<!-- middle column content begin -->
<p class="blocktext">
<?php mosLoadModules( 'banner', -1 ); ?>
</p>
<div id="users">
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?>
</div>
<div id="users">
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'user2' ); ?>
</div>
<p>
<div id="nofloat">
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?>
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>
</div>
css:
/*top users */
#users {
float:left;
width: 300px;
}
#nofloat {
float: none;
}
So anyways this does indeed put each div tag side by side but my problem is that I need the following PHP code ( <?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?> <?php mosMainBody(); ?> <?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>) to return to the next line after the div's, but instead it jumps everything to the right and breaks the template. So I added the nofloat css and that fixed it and put the rest of the content below the side by side div's but now it doesn't work in FireFox. Now I tried padding-top and that worked in both browsers, but its not flexible as the side by side div modules are not always there and I don't want 200px of white space on the pages that don't show it. Also as a side note I tried putting <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?> and user2 into separate div tags that that floated left and right but it had the same outcome, so I stuck with one float left that seems to work the same. My question is what can I do to make this content show after the side by side div's and not beside it in both browsers? You can see what I mean by looking at this test site in both IE 6 and FireFox. http://www.wii-volution.com/testbed/ Thanks for any help you guys can give me! Hi! I want to have let's say 4 divs of width:25% horizontally side-by-side. Ex: (I'll ry to draw it ) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thank you. I've been having some issues getting a design for a site I'm co-authoring to display correctly using CSS. I know that what I'm trying to do should be possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out and am getting pretty damn frustrated with the whole thing. I could probably do it with tables, and right now I have it set up with some javascript that I threw together, but css+divs would be the ideal solution. Anyways, this is basically what I want to try and do (that's the javascript version). Just resize the window a bit to see what i'm getting at.

Basically I need a way to have 2 elements next to eachother, 1 of which is an arbitrary size and the other be wide enough to fill the rest of the containing block. Any help would be much appreciated. EDIT: Here's a link to the actual working design, maybe that'll help in understanding my question (don't open it in IE unless you want a facefull of ugly). Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side. So I tried this CSS value : table { display : inline; } then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work... Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks Hello, I have a problem that is making me crazy! I have a simple page with some news on it. Every news is a <div> and contains two floating blocks: Image(floating left) and the text(also floating left). These blocks must stay side by side and NOT one over the other. The width of the news <div> can be 500-550px max for layout reasons. If the text is longer than the space available Firefox moves the entire text block under the image, while IE resize correctly the text block. I have tried to apply diplay:inline; to both blocks with no effect. Here is the test page Link (I have limited the width to 500px to simulate the real layout.) CSS: Code:
.news {
float: left;
clear:left;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
width: 100%;
}
.img_hl {
float:left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.newstext {
padding-top: 1em;
float:left;
}

here is a live sample I'm working on a site which has a header and footer div, and in the main section in between, it has a narrow left div and main content to the right. I've got the overall width centered at 90%, and I want the left div to be 250px wide, and then the right main content div to be the remaining width of the 90%. I also want to make sure it doesn't resize below about 600px when the screen is resized. Am I better off setting a fixed width of the overall width instead of a percentage? That way I can make the page about 800px wide, left pane 250px, and main content 550px? Any other thoughts? Thanks. So I'm not really new to CSS or HTML though I might as well be considering the last time I did anything in either that had much substance was a class back in high school, about 6 years ago. This is what I want... DIV1 --------------- DIV2 --------------- DIV 3 2 would be in the center with 1 and 3 floating left and right respectively. Instead I'm getting this... DIV1 --- DIV2 ----------------------------------------- DIV 3 or DIV1 DIV2 DIV3 ...I hope you guys get the idea. I'm having trouble figuring it out. My ext CSS sheet, if you care to look, is he http:// livingway.110mb. com/mainstyle.css the frame in question, he http:// livingway.110mb. com/main.htm I'm hoping it'll let you all look at them. It's nothing professional yet because I'm only trying to give an update idea to our "webmaster". Anywho, let me know what I'm doing wrong. My brain hurts right now. |
