CSS - Layout
Hey,
So I'm trying to create a blogger skin by myself and I'm already stuck. I want the template to look something like this: *** And I failed while I was looking for that kind of a template. And I did search, for a decent amount of time. So, any help? Does somebody know, where can I get a template like that or how can I create it myself? Thanks a bunch, Lara. EDIT: Um, new user accounts are not permitted to create posts containing URLs? Aw'sm. So, how can I show you my idea of the layout? :/ Similar TutorialsHello, 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--> <div id="wrapper"> <!--begin side column --> <div id="sideColumn"> <span class="category">Products</span> <ul> <li><a href="/products/spirometers.html">Spirometers</a></li> <li><a href="/products/clinical_trials.html">Clinical Trials</a></li> <li><a href="/products/asthma_copd.html">Asthma & COPD</a></li> <li><a href="/products/smoking_cessation.html">Smoking Cessation</a></li> <li><a href="/products/resuscitaion.html">Resuscitation</a></li> </ul> <span class="category">Resources</span> <ul> <li><a href="/resources/contact_us.html">Customer Support</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/training_services.html">Training & Services</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/exhibitions.html">Exhibitions</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/newsletters.html">Newsletters</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/downloads.html">Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/useful_links.html">Useful Links</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/industry_information.html">Industry Information</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/industry_information.html">Sitemap</a></li> </ul> </div> <!--end of side column --> <!--begin main column --> <div id="mainColumn"> <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Main_Section" --> <div id="home"> <div id="scroll"><span>scrolling news will go hear and stop</span></div> <img src="/images/boys_bubbles.gif" width="485" height="333" alt="boys and bubbles" /> <span class="large">Welcome to Vitalograph</span> <p>Vitalgraph offers a wide range of spirometers along with other asthma management equipment with over 40 years experience.

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 was working on making 2 different link menu's one that dropped down and one that was stationary underneath it. On my computer it looks fine but on some computers the bottom link is partially underneath the top one. and the opacity filter's do not show up especially on mac's. Was wondering if anyone could help. Heres the website link, and then the code. http://www24.brinkster.com/mattphat/test2.html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <HEAD> <TITLE>Northwest Connecticut YMCA | We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities.</TITLE> </HEAD> <style type="text/css"> * { margin: 0;

Need help with layout, picture attached. I need the footer's end to be at the level of the sidebars end unless content is too long and in that case it would expand in height. In other words there has to be a min height for content so footer wont go any higher than in the picture, but will go down if content expands. Any tips on how this needs to be done? Hi I want to achieve this layout using CSS http://www.premier-resin-systems.co.uk/layout.jpg I want it to be 3 columns, but as you can see the navigation part overlaps the red background image that I was going to put in my header div. I would like some help if poss on how to put this design into divs before I plough staright in!! Thanks for any help or advice! 'Ello, I have just started to create a new web site for my self about a game called Warhammer 40,000. Although I have come across a problem near the start of its construction. I have a layer in the top right hand part of the web site for the search fields, on Internet Explorer it positions it self fine, but in Netscape (tried in v7.2) and FireFox (tried in v1.0 and v1.0.3) it its slightly higher and in Opera it just displays it all the way off to the bottom of the web site. One thing I have noticed is that this layer aligns up perfectly in Opera providing there is nothing between the two div tags, which seems strange to me. Here is the home page of the web site, as you can see there isn't much done to it yet as I want to fix this problem before procceding onwards. My CSS document is located here. If you view this in Opera v7.52, Netscape v7.2, FireFox v1.0 and/or v1.0.3 and Internet Explorer v6 you will see what I men in the top right hand corner, may have the same effect in other versions of these browsers but I have not checked. Thank you in advance, El Barto. 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. I'm trying to figure out if the following layout is possible using css such that it will appear correctly in all "major" browsers: lab.wx3.com/cssprob/layout_challenge.png (sorry, I'm a new user so I can't post the http part) The center column should be fixed width, 100% of browser in height. Values marked as "fixed" would have a defined pixel size. Values marked as "fluid" would fill available space. I know this layout can be done with tables, but I'm at a loss to figure out how it can be done in css. Ok I've been stuck on this layout for about 2 days and I've had it. I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me with it through AIM or MSN messager. Also if no one is willing to help I'm willing to pay someone 30-40$ to code the layout for me in CSS so it works in Firefox and IE. I pretty much just need the stylesheet or the one on one help to make it work. If you're willing to help me IM ME at stareatceiling or MSN: ajay@statc.net . It'd be cool to have this done tonight or tommorow so i can start developing the backend for it. Thanks.

Here is what the table would consist of background: url ('../images/topbg.jpg') repeat-x; height: 295px; width: 850px; 1st row = 1 column height: 155px; 2nd row = 8 equal columns height: 140px; In each of these 8 columns I want to insert an image link which are centered vertically as well as horizontally Attached is my html page and my css file. The css is a template i got off ssi-developer. I'm changing it around a bit to fit my needs. The way I have the page now is fine I'm just curious to know if I can do this one thing. What I'm wondering is if I have to make different classes for the multiple rows that I have. Is there a way I can make the same layout without making all the rows. Once you see my files you will get a better understading of what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm working on converting a website from tables to div's and running into one little issue. The site is a basic header on top, navigation on left, content on right and a footer on the bottom. I would like the navigation div to grow in height to match the height of the content div so that the background fills the left side of the page. I have placed the nav and content divs in a container div and set a min-height on the container. I was hoping that that would let me place height: 100% on the navigation div but it isn't growing ever. Is there a way to get something like this done? FYI, the site is currently at http://users.adelphia.net/~mmorasch/ This is my mockup: http://beta.investchallenge.com/ The corresponding CSS for the page: http://beta.investchallenge.com/styles/layout.css The left and right columns are not lining up like they should be, I can't figure what is causing this is the CSS. Any ideas? |
