CSS - Subtle Dot Appears Between Main Post Area And Right Sidebar On Blog
Hi all,
Been having a problem that's been driving me crazy lately. On my blog www.mytechnicalinterviewexperience.com, I'm getting a small dot that's appearing right between the top of the main post area and the right sidebar. If you see the text "subscribe" at the very top of the right side bar, the dot is up and to the left with respect to that. Anyways, the dot is probably hardly noticeable to visitors, but me being extremely anal, I'd like to try and get rid of it. I notice that it has something to do with my amazon associates recommendation widget which is further down the right side appear. It only appears after the recommendations widget finishes loading. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, MyTechIntExp Similar TutorialsThis is my first completely css site and I am having troubles with my main content areas and some other small minor things. My design requires that the sidebar be the same height as my content area. What do I need to do to get them the same heights. The main content area changes on each page so my sidebar needs to do the same. Here is the website. I guess I cannot post url's so I hope I made sense. Also an example of what the site is going to look is here. Once again cannot post urls. Also, I need help with lists. In the example image I have the lists side-by-side. Normally I would use a table for this. Is there a way to do this with css? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Shaun On the home page of my site (http://awsmiedev06.awecomm.com), there is a large clickable area for Life Insurance, Health Insurance & Disability Insurance. However, when you get into the internal pages of the site, the clickable area is much smaller, making it harder to click on the 3 Insurance Navigation items. You have to almost click on top of the words to get the arrow to turn into a hand so you can click on it. Why is this? Why is the clickable area large (and perfect) on the home page but not on the internal pages? This is the code for the navigation items: Code: .cl2a /*disability*/

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Here's the url Template Any comments on the code will be very helpfull. Even if it is out of topic. In IE it looks pretty good. In firefox the border goes under the large image and the image navigation is left there naked on the body background. Hi, I'm not an expert on making things work in IE, so I'm looking for someone who is. So, this is how my page looks in IE6: (No, I'm not French, I used browsershots.org.) This is how it should look: http://timvdalen.nl/atwork The relevant code for this is: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="rb-bar"> <div id="bar-button"></div> <div id="bar-end"></div> </div><!--rb-bar-->
css Code: Original - css Code #rb-bar{ height: 33px; background: url('./imgs/3dbalk.gif'); width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; float: left; margin-bottom: 30px; } #bar-button{ height: 33px; float: left; background: url('./imgs/button.gif'); width: 121px; } #bar-end{ height: 33px; background: url('./imgs/bar-end.gif'); width: 3px; margin-left: 920px; margin-right: 0px; }
It seems that the bar-end div is showing up below where it's supposed to be, making the whole bar repeat it's bg for another 'row'. Another important thing to mention is that it's safe to say that 99,5% to 100% of the visits will come from IE6, this is out of my control. Any replies will be greatly appreciated, Tim Well this is VERY weird. I don't even know what to do about this one. Take a look at this site in IE... FIXED Now notice the footer at the bottom. For me every couple times I refresh it the whole page goes out of whack... and then a couple refreshes later it seems ok again. I can't honestly figure out what is going on here. Any ideas that would help me out... http://www.countrystampinangel.com/ The Sub Menu is on the Products button http://www.countrystampinangel.com/angel.css I have a body, a container div, and inside the container div, a head, navigation, content, and footer div. I have the background of the body filled in with a repeating background image .. and I have the footer div with clear: both, so it will show up below the content div, rather than just underneath it. The problem is the body background does not extend past the lower portion of the footer. How can I fix this? Link to Website I just installed Internet Explorer 8 to view my website in the newest internet explorer version. The browser leaves a huge space right after the upper menu. Could someone tell me why and how to fix it. Thank you. http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ I have a data table within my content div. It appears fine on my screen in several browsers, however, coworkers have a large (full screen) of white space where the table should be. They have to scroll down a full screen to get to the table. I have everything on the site set up using CSS. The table contains the dates, times and municipalities for Trick or Treat events. I have a vertical-align:top on the table. Here is the CSS: Code: table#halloween {
margin-left: 2px;
text-align:center; margin-right:auto; width:100%;
vertical-align:top;
font-size:12px;
padding: 3px;
width:100%;
border: solid #000000;
}
td.halloweencell {
border-color: #000;
border-style: solid;
}
Here is a sample of the HTML : Code:
<table width="100%" id="halloween" summary="Table of municipalities, date of trick or treat and times for trick or treat">
<tr>
<th width="50%" class="rowcoloryellow"><strong>MUNICIPALITY</strong></th>
<th width="20%" class="rowcoloryellow"><strong>DATE</strong></th>

Helen Hi, I've a problem with a layout, I don't understand why div container appears smaller than input field contained. PHP Code: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css" > body { margin : 10px; background-color : gray; } .container{ background-color : orange; border : 3px solid black; padding : 40px; } </style> </head> <body > <div class="container"> <input name="prova" value="Look to the right -----> -----> -----> -----> -----> " type="text" style="width:2000px;"> </div> </body> </html> ps. Verified with Firefox 2.0.0.4 and mozilla 1.7.13 Any hint? Hello, I a horizontal navigation within <ul><li> tags. Here is the css for the navigation <ul><li> and the first button. Code: #nav li{
display:inline;
}
a#aboutrollover {
background-image:url(images/nav/about_off.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:77px;
height:18px;
display:block;
}
a#aboutrollover span { display:none; }
a#aboutrollover:hover {
background-image:url(images/nav/about_on.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:77px;
height:18px;
}
You'll notice that for the button, I have display set to "block." Well, if I set it as "inline" or don't put a display, the span text shows. But the block makes the <li>'s stack upon each other. Here's the navigation code :: Code: <ul id="nav" name="nav"> <li> <a onclick="updateWithAbout()" href="#" id="aboutrollover"><span>About Cats Meow</span></a> </li> <li> <a onclick="updateWithGuest()" href="#" id="guestrollover"><span>Guest Pics</span></a> </li> <li> <a onclick="updateWithStaff()" href="#" id="staffrollover"><span>Cats Staff</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="#" id="webcamsrollover"><span>Cat's webcams</span></a> </li> <li> <a onclick="updateWithParties()" href="#" id="partiesrollover"><span>Cat's Meow Parties</span></a> </li> <li> <a onclick="updateWithContact()" href="#" id="contactrollover"><span>Contact Cats Meow</span></a> </li> </ul> I also tried display: run-in; and display:compact; instead of display:block;. But the first 2 options would make my navigation dissapear. Here is the site:: http://www.catskaraoke.com/index2.php Is there a simple solution to displaying the navigation horizontally? I know I can make it work, but it's a bit of excessive code for something that should be easy. thanks Hi all, I cannot figure why last two form inputs at the following website appears wrong near the end. I also included a screenshot. http://www.refinethetaste.com/yk/addproject.asp Hi, I have some links in a <ul> list. I have set them to have a background image using CSS. When I rollover the links using IE6 the egg timer appears briefly. No such problem with FF or Opera. Anyone come across this before? Here's my CSS: Code: #section1 div ul{
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#section1 div li{
list-style-type:none;
margin:15px 0 0 0;
}
#section1 div li a{
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
padding-right:20px;
background: transparent url(/newsite/images/square.gif) right center no-repeat;
display:block;
}
I also am having this problem with the menu in IE6 - the right hand side of the menu dropdown, "Videos", is also showing up on the left hand side, slightly cut off. I know it's "Videos" because when I hover over Videos, the text on the left hand side ("os") also lights up. Is it possible that -999em is not far enough over? What could be the problem/how can I fix this? A related problem, perhaps, is that the first below-menu item starts about 20px below where it should be. I'm new to CSS programming and I'm not too sure what's going on. image showing what the issue is at kburke dot org slash menuleft.jpg - I don't have enough posts to link an image. I really appreciate your help. The menu's in a 980px wide container. Some of the site's still in tables but I'm working on changing that. #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; float:left; width:89.091em; list-style:none; line-height:1; background:#b6791e; font:11px Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; padding:0; margin:0 0 .5em 0; } #nav a { display: block; width: 11.1em; w\idth: 10.1em; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; padding: 0.75em 0.5em; } #nav a.daddy { } #nav li { float: left; padding: 0; width: 11.1em; position:relative; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height:auto; width: 14.7em; w\idth: 14.5em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding:0; background:#FFFFFF; color:#769841; border: 0.1em solid #769841; } #nav li ul a:hover{ color:#ffff30; background:#769841; } #nav li ul li a{ color:#769841; } #nav li li { padding-right: 1em; width: 14.5em; w\idth:13.5em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li a:hover, nav li.sfhover a:hover{ color:#FFFF30; } #nav li ul li a:hover { color:#FFFF30; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; clear:both; } #nav li ul ul { margin: -3.3em 0 0 5em; } #nav li:hover, #nav li.sfhover { background: #769841; } #nav li a:hover, #nav li.sfhover a:hover{ color: #ffff30; } #nav li ul a{ color:#769841; padding:.4em; } I'm trying to have a sidebar to the right of my page content that extends the entire height of the container it is in. Code: .sidebar {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
width: 150px;
height: 100%;
color: #999999;
background: #ffffff;
float: right;
border-top: none;
border-left: 1px solid #cccccc;
border-bottom: none;
border-right: none;
}
This is the code I am currently using, but it is only as tall as the contents of the div. I need the border on the left to extend the length of the container it is in. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott I am working on a site in CSS (first time! Yay!) I am having one problem: there is a sidebar, and I have used spacer images to make the coloring go to the very bottom of the page (the links stop above that). HOWEVER: this is for my screen size, and I am worried that when people view it with a different screen/window size, they will have scroll bars, even though there is no content at the bottom. Is there any attribute that will make it just go right to the bottom? Thanx. I have three questions. 1. I saw some site which cut if there is a wide picture on side bars, like it just show the part which is on the sidebar box if its wider it cuts the extra part like this site if you see the first picture on the side bar its bigger but it cuts the extra part (-http://dot21.blogspot.com/-) , i want to know how to do it. 2. When some people add backgrounds they write background-repeat:no-repeat whats the function of that code??? and what can i write instead of no-repeat?? 3. whats the function of this code (background-position:bottom left) ??? If you couldnt answer some i hope you answer the ones you know. Hi all, At http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/blog2/ I have recently changed the entire layout and replaced it all with new images, BG, etc. In IE... On the right, the sidebar and BLOG searchform are all a little too far to the right. I've been playing with it all for a while, but can't seem to move it to the left. I basically just need to shift the entire righthand contents about 10 or 20 px to the left, but I need to avoid that also changing the righthanded content on all the other pages. Actually, in FF it is correct, except that the BLOG searchform bar needs to com over about 10-20px to the left. Other than that, it's perfect. I need to make IE look like that! CSS file is at http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/main.css I'd appreciate any help. Thank you! Chris Here's the main site: http: // anomalyrecords . net / index . html Here's the sto http: // anomalyrecords . net / catalog I am using a Zencart embedded template to wrap the main site design around Zencart.. This is working perfectly with a small remaining issue.. I am trying to synchronize the content placement of the sidebar items between Zen Cart and the rest of the site pages.. There is an ever so slight "shift" of the sidebar elements when you toggle bewteen the site pages and the store.. I've done a lot of tweaking and I'm fairly close, but I am at a COMPLETE loss how to put this to bed once and for all. I am hoping one of the CSS gurus here will see what I am clearly missing and guide me back to the light.. |
