CSS - Making My Site Flow Better
'Ello,
This problem is a bit complex to try and explain on here so if this gets too confusing just let me know and I'll try and clear up whatever you are confused about. I am currently building a site that has a wrapper div with a width set to 100% and a max-width of 1000px so that on smaller screens the site will appear nicer and not have horizontal scrollbars. In this wrapper div is a content div that is 84% of the wrappers width and has it's margin set to 0 auto to make in then content div centre in the wrapper. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to change the content divs width from 84% to 100% once the wrapper div get to a small enough size. At the moment when the screen gets too small the content div is still 84% size of the wrapper div and centred, but say on a screen with a resolution of 800x600 I think it would be more beneficial to have to content div take up the whole wrapper to display more content. I was thinking of setting a min-width but then if the screen gets smaller than the min-width a horizontal scroll bar would appear. I was just wondering if something like this was possible, if not it doesn't matter to much as I can set the min-width up for a 800x600 screen resolution and anything below that probably isn't too important anyway. Similar Tutorialshi i have a table that has another small table of a fixed height aligned to the right. what i want is that when i enter text in the larger table, the text should 'flow' around the corner of the table. +----------+----+ +....1.....+..2.+ +..........+----+ +...............+ +---------------+ when i enter text in 1, i want that it wraps it around 2 as well. please tell me how to do it. I have come to the conclusion that tables are evil, plus I want to make my site very good, web standards wise. Thing is atm I suck at div tags etc. and I was wondering if anybody could offer insight into doing URL (relative positioning not absolute). It is a 3 column layout which I have heard can be hard. Also, how do you align div tags to the right of another e.g. my logo and then my current nav bar. Thanks p.s. please help, I want to change my wicked ways lol I would love for it to look like the footer on the mint.com site. Do you know how to accomplish this? Hello Friends I've a problem where my images flow away after i did added an banner has the following css code Code:
#topbar{
position:absolute;
padding: 2px;
background-color: #F4F3B3;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
}
HTML Code Code: <div id="topbar"> <a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><img src="images/close.gif" alt="blah" border="0" /></a> ads goes here </div> now the images on IE below the banner flow away and after i make refresh it back again i've tired to change position:absolute; to fixed/relative ..ect but it will effect the banner since it moves down with the scroll thanks in advance What are some reasons that a div box could come out of the flow of the page. I know when you set an elements position to absolute, it comes out of the flow. Fixed does this as well. Any other reasons, or bugs. I have a couple div boxes which are positioned relatively and floated left and right. They have come out of the flow and now overlap other elements. I have no idea why.

I'm running into a problem with an interface that I'm developing. Basically it's a collapsible treeview using DHTML and the display property to 'open' and 'close' tables. I need to have several of these tables side by side but without overflowing horizontally so that the user has to scroll horizontally. The best way I've found was to float the elements so that any overflowing tables would be wrapped. Example: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] However, a problem arised when I 'open' and 'closed' the tables repeatedly (three times or more). The other tables started to wrap immediately after the first table (the one I was opening and closing). So that all the tables lined up in a single column eventually and not flowing as they should've been. Example: [] [] [] [] [] Upon refreshing the page, everything flows as it should. Please let me know if I'm unclear in my description. Hi All, I am using DIV tags to hold content rather than using a table. I have about 16 elements with the following style applied: Code:
div.game {
text-align: center;
float: left;
height: 180px;
width: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This works well, the DIVs will fit as many per row as possible but it can leave a lot of empty space to the right of the screen (up to 150px obviously) and if the last row has less DIVs they to the left of the screen like this: |--- page ---| [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ] I would like to be able to either center the DIVs or to space them out like this: |--- page ----| [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ______ [ ] Hope that is clear. I can't set relative widths, as I want the page to scale. So is there any way I can acheive the effect I want? Thanks. Is there a way to make text flow through to a new line if there is too much text to fit in the defined width of a button? Hello, I'm stumped on how to float an image to the left, and still keep it in the flow of the document. Here is an example off my head. Code:
#container {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
img.floatleft {
float:left;
}
div {
display: inline;
}
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
The image will exceed the bounds of 'container' if the image is larger than the text is tall. How can I get around this? Thanks again for the help. webg <div>text</div> Hello, My page when correct should show the HeaderContainer, blow that the ActionContainer which has, 3 column divs, then below that the FooterContainer. It is important that the page build starts with the CenterContainer, then the LeftContainer, then RightContainer. My issue is that the LeftContainer and RightContainer columns both are aligning to the bottom of each other, and to the bottom of the CenterContainer column. I think this could be an issue with floats. What do you think? See online demo, http://tlcgiftsandbaskets.com/demo/positioning/position_css.php Code:

margin: 0pt; margin:0 15px 0 0;

#CenterContainer { margin:0 0 0 175px; text-align:left; border:1px solid yellow; width:250px; }
#LeftContainer { margin:0 0 0 10px; text-align: left; width: 150px; border:1px solid green; float:left; }

It goes like this: .leftnav { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } .content { position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 0px; } In the html: <div class="leftnav">A bunch of navigation</div> <div class="content">A bunch of content</div> Now, underneath both of these columns, spanning the width of both, I want a footer div. The leftnav and the content will not be the same length down the page. I don't know which of these 2 columns will be longer on any given page. However, underneath the longest column, I want to put my footer div. I could do this with a table easily enough. But how fun would that be? Can be all viewed here -> http://streaming.smad.jmu.edu/smad307/ring/gloo I have three layers starting at the same position on the page. Each layer has a Y-repeat repeating image that tiles seamlessly. There is one for the left spacer, the middle content, and the right spacer. The Nav menu on the left are just images placed in at the top of the left spacer layer. I'm trying to get each of these layers to expand as content fills up the middle Content layer. This doesnt work at all in Firefox - with any excess content just heading off into white space. And it works somewhat with IE - with only the Content layer to expand as content fills it. I know this is a recurring issue with CSS, but is there a simple fix for this? I've seen this done before without any Javascript hacks, but can't remember where. I do remember, it didn't look like the most graceful solution. And in IE, the navigation .gifs on the left have a gap between each of them. I found that odd since they're just <IMG>s within the layer. Any help would be greatly appreciated HI, I have an A-Z contents list for my website. I can manually split the list into 3 columns of equal length, but that only works as long as the list doesn't change length and the window is the right size. Is there a way to have a single long list and automatcally show it in 3 newspaper style columns? Thanks Richard Hey all i want to create a simple horizontal navigation for my page spanning the container div (735px) i want to use a UL and float them to the left: Navigation Code: <div id="container"> <ul> <li>home</li> <li>nav2</li> <li>nav3</li> <li>nav4<li> <li>nav5<li> </ul> </div> CSS Code:
#container{width:735px}
ul {width:100%; height:35px; }
li{width:149px; float:left}
The problem im having / i dont know how to do are the following: 1. Within each li i want to put a link but i want it to be the whole block of 149 x 35 clickable for the link not just the words e.g HOME 2. how do i get the text of the nav to be positioned in the middle vertically. i tried: vertical-align or what ever it was but that didnt waork. For one of my nav items it drops down a line but the others stay at the top. id like them in the middle of the block?? thanks I was just wondering if there was a standard that most people use. Or do you just use each as the circumstances require? i thought i had finally gotten my design to where i wanted it, but then i tried it in internet explorer. he http://beta.bikerevolution.org/xindex.php any ideas on how to fix this would be great. How can I make the <th> on the right hand side align everything inside it to the right? I already have a class which applies to all my <th> [html] <thead> <tr> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">STATUS</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">VIEW</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">DOWNLOAD</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">TOTAL</th> </tr> </thead>[/html] Do I need to add something like this? [css] table.main thead tr th.twentyfive { /*border: 1px solid #fff;*/ width: 25%; } table.main thead tr th.twentyfive.right { /*border: 1px solid #fff;*/ width: 25%; float: right; }[/css] http://m2-klan.com/nuked.html How would I go about making this page all Css/div? My friend has been saying something that I can make that from all Css with less graphics, how would I go about doing that? I am a newbie at Css and I would like to know how to do that, instead of tables. Sometimes CSS makes me want to tear my hair out. I'm trying to make a custom form input that is a combination of a regular select drop down and a multiple select. I have the javascript all sorted out and my input works like a charm. I can't figure out any way to make it display like a <select> does though. I thought I could simply do this: <ul style="display: inline"> According to w3schools, this will tell the element to display without a line break before or afterward. Much to my despair, it's not that simple. Here's an example: Code: <div> This is some text <select name="test"> <option value="">Click to expand</option> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </div> <hr /> <div> This is some text <ul name="test" style="display: inline;"> <li>Click to expand</li> <ul style="display: none;"> <li value="1">One</li> <li value="2">Two</li> </ul> </ul> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </div> Notice how the regular old html input sits nicely inline with the text before it and the submit button after it? Notice how the ul doesn't, despite the fact it's set to display inline? Anybody have any suggestions? Can someone point me to a tutorial that shows how you can use css borders, shadows, or whatever to make div's look 3D, or sunken in or something. Basically I want this div to look like a button, but only when the mouse is over it, and when it's depressed I want it to look like its sunken in. I know how to do all of this except the lighting and stuff, it looks kinda funny. So is there a tutorial that shows you the best way to make stuff look 3D? Thanks |
