CSS - Content Positioning
Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm not a n00b with CSS, but I'm no expert, either. I am making a test page at http://www.bartlett-family.net/test/ In IE, it looks pretty much like I WANT it to. In Mozilla and Opera, it looks all messed up( you'll see for yourself). Basically, I would like the globe logo, the GFS image text, and the footer bar vertically lined up and centered (pretty much like it is right now in IE). However, I am obviously doing something wrong because it is not right in other, proper browsers. I've been playing with it for a while and just can't figure it out. Any help would be most appreciated. TIA! Chris Hey there, im not good with CSS, just know some basics so looking for some help here... I see on some sites, in their source code, the menu appears at the near bottom of the source code page, but when the page is viewed in the browser.. the menu is rendered as been placed before all the other contents. how is this possible? I thought the browser reads line by line and renders accordingly... actually.. what I want to do is place the source code of something at the top of the page, but when rendered, I want it to appear near the bottom.. is this possible? Thanks in advance and sorry if the question confused you or sound stupid Hi, I had a little problem with this design earlier, and a kind soul on the forum helped me by showing me a template to use (instead of all the absolute positioning i was using), but i've got one little issue, and it's all that's stopping my site from going live. You'll see it quite clearly, my "content" gets pushed under my "menu" - fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/category1_1.htm is the URL. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. When this design was originally built-out, there were no set requirements on how the CMS behind the design would function. As the project has progressed, some of those requirements have started to trickle down and a some of them are getting pretty ridiculous. This is loosely the code I'm working with. Code: <div id="primaryContent"> <div class="primaryModule"> Content </div> <div class="primaryModule"> Content </div> <div class="tertiaryModule"> Side Content </div> <div class="tertiaryModule"> Side Content </div> </div> <!-- end primaryContent --> And the accompanying CSS Code: .threeColumn #primaryContent,
#primaryContent.threeColumn {
float:left;
margin-left:6px;
padding:7px 10px 20px 22px;
width:732px;
}
#primaryContent .primaryModule,
.primaryModule.primaryContent {
margin:0 300px 2em 0;
position:relative;
width:514px;
}
#primaryContent .tertiaryModule,
.threeColumn .tertiaryModule {
float:right;
margin:0 0 2em 531px;
padding:0 11px 0 12px;
position:relative;
width:178px;
}
I have attached a picture of what the desired display is. The vertical gray bar is a background image of a div higher up in the code. Originally, the XHTML and CSS were very well thought out, but as the requirements came through for the CMS, the XHTML had to go out the window. Now, everything in #primaryContent is handled by the CMS. Each module can have it's own class or ID to have styles applied to it, but no additional divs can be put in to sort the side content from the main content. Furthermore, the order of the divs can shift every time the user refreshes the page - there's no telling in what order div.primaryModule or div.tertiaryModule may come in. Awesome! I was able to get this displaying correctly in IE6 and IE7 using the following styles: Code: #primaryContent .primaryModule,
.primaryModule.primaryContent{
position:relative;
float:left;
clear:left;
width:514px;
margin:0 0 2em;
}
#primaryContent .tertiaryModule,
.threeColumn .tertiaryModule{
width:178px;
padding:0 11px 0 12px;
clear:right;
float:right;
position:relative;
margin:0 0 2em;
}
But I keep running into clearing and floating issues in FF3. The only way I can get the layout functioning correctly in FF3 is if I know that the .primaryModule divs come before the .tertiaryModule divs (or vice versa). Any thoughts? Thanks for your help. Hi there im fairly noob to css and I cant figure out how to do this, or if its at all possible? please take a look at: http://www.freelayouts.us/css/page2.html this page display just fine, and the html code flows like this: - header - left column - right column - content - footer but what i want to do is make the source code flow like this: - header - content - left column - right column - footer BUT still display just like the above page.. is this possible? here is what happens when I reposition the source code: http://www.freelayouts.us/css/page1.html is there anything I can do to the CSS that will make it appear like the first example but the source code flows like my 2nd example? hope i didnt confuse you... thanks in advance Ok, I have three problems with this test page. 1. How do I force the logo to be always to the extreme left (just over left container) whilst ensuring the menu options stay on the right side? 2. How do I force the menu options to vertically align to the bottom? (So that their baseline matches the baseline of the logo) 3. In FF the right side image is correctly displayed in the right-side container, but in IE the images somehow ends up directly below the left side image! Any idea where I'm going completely wrong? If anyone has sometime to have a look here a a link containing the test page content in a zipped file...zipped test page For reference, I'm testing this with the following browsers... IE 6.0 FF 2.0 Thank you in advance. PS. I can create a page with this (and more complex) layout easily using the html "table" tag (it's what I've been doing for at least a few years), but we don't do things like that any more so I thought I'd better get with the scene and master this div thing once and for all! Using "table" tags for layout is so last century! Hi, I not very good at CSS and I need to create a page that shows divs in other order that are in the script: in my page i want to be something like this: Code:
<body id="body" >
<div id="bodyHolder" >
<div id="mainHolder" >
<div id="mainColumn">Here will be the main content</div>
<div id="leftColumn" > Left Column</div>
</div>
<div id="topLogoHolder">Site Logo</div>
<div id="topMenuHolder" > Top Menu</div >
</div>
<div id="footerHolder"> Footer</div>
</div>
but I want to show: Site Logo, Top Menu, Left Column, Main Column, Footer My problem is with Footer. I can't get to position at the bottom of page (not at the window) because the Main Column is not fixed. The CSS code is : Code:
body {margin:auto; background:url('../imgs/bg.body.jpg') repeat-x; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; background-color: #FFFFFF;}
#bodyHolder {margin:auto; width:1006px; text-align:left;}
#mainHolder {width:1006px; text-align:left; display:block; float:left; clear:both; background-color:#FFFFFF; margin:0px; padding:15px 0px 15px 0px; position:absolute; top:150px;}
#mainColumn {text-align:left; display:block; float:right; margin-right:10px; width:810px;}
#leftColumn {text-align:left; display:block; float:left; width:180px; }
#topLogoHolder {width:1000px; text-align:left; display:inline; margin-left:6px; float:left; clear:both; height:112px; position:absolute; top:0px;}
#topMenuHolder { text-align:left; display:block; margin:0px 0px 0px 6px; padding:0px; background:url('../imgs/bg.top_menu.jpg') no-repeat; width:1000px; height:38px;position:absolute; top:112px;}
#footerHolder {margin:auto; background:url('../imgs/bg.footer.jpg') repeat-x; height:234px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding:0px;width:100%; display: block; position: absolute; bottom:0px; height:100%; clear:both;}
I really don't what to try (google gives me no clue... all my attempts failed ) I'll appreciate any help! Thanks a lot in advance I've been developing a content management system, and one of the final things I have to clean up is a stylesheet problem involving the float property. I'm trying to position two boxes next to each other id: menu and id: content, but until I set the width property on content it would drop beneath menu. I want the content box to fill any remaining space to the right of the menu, with appropriate padding and spacing and such. Can anyone help make suggestions as to the best way of achieving this? Here is some of my css code which is also viewable on the website which is located at: 8< snip >8 Code:
#container
{
margin: 1em 4em 1em 4em;
/* width: 750px; dynamic width */
text-align: left;
background: #FFFFCC;
border: 2px solid black;
}
#menu
{
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 12px;
width: 150px;
display: inline;
}
#content
{
float: right;
width: 20em;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
/* margin-left: 170px; */
padding-top: 5px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border-left: 2px solid black;
height: 100%;
}
Thanks for trying to help, I've been getting really frustrated trying to get css to work in both ie and firefox. BTW: I've been finding the Web Developer firefox extension very helpful for this kind of work. Hello, I'm relatively new to using CSS as the foundation of a site, as i've only ever built sites for family/work etc using tables. I have used it previously for styling and so on, but not as intensively as i now am. It's great, but a couple of issues are giving me a headache - the fun of web design, hey?... I'm experiencing two problems, and have spent a lot of time describing them (with examples and images) on the following page - fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm - not wanting to clutter up the forum with my explanations and too many images. The first is to do with the 100% height trick - my "wrapper" div is not expanding with my "content" div - but i do not believe faux columns are possible for my design (if someone proves me wrong, great!) as i don't have two full height columns, but one content column and a vertical menu div... The second issues is with a Horizontal menu i am using as main navigation. In both FireFox & Chrome, the menu shifts down so the text links are unreadable unless hovered over. In IE, it's positioned as i want (with Comp View Settings turned on for IE8). So, if anyone could shed come light on my problems, i'd love to hear some ideas. The full explanation, complete with working examples and images (as well as my code) can be seen at fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm. Thanks in advance, Azerus85 Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim 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. I have problem with footer DIV in this layout (the order of DIV's in code after <body> should be - content, left, right, right2, header, footer - positioned centraly with fixed values): It needs to be sticked to fit after content of 4 column DIV's like it is in example. http://www.split.info/dev/less-content/ http://www.split.info/dev/more-content/ Code:

Content from above 4 column div's need to push footer DIV below (after them)!

Current issue like it is in this layout happens that if you add more data f.i. in content area (outside one screen), it will go trough footer... So in your resolution footer can be also moved in code after rightpane2 DIV, after end of wrapper. Pls help. Thx! Echo 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 --------------------------------------------------------------- Original post --------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Ken http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/?m=200712 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... http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/ For CSS reference, here is where the css file is located: http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/simplistic/style.css Thanks in advance! Hi guys, I'm pretty new to web design, so please be gentle. I have an issue with CSS positioning that I'm trying to figure out. After research, I figured out how to align a div to the centre using an external stylesheet. However, I want this div to be positioned at the very top of the page. Currently, it sits approx 100px from the top and I can't figure out how to position it to 0px. Here's my code; body { text-align: center; margin: 5em 0 0 0; vertical-align: middle; } #content { width: 760px; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; background-color: #000000; top: 0px; } Can anyone help me? Thanks Luke Hi all, Im doing a bit of work, for which the URL can be found at: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)~gj311/webeng and the css is at (URL address blocked: See forum rules)~gj311/webeng/webeng.css Ignore the lack of content for now if you would (URL address blocked: See forum rules)=newthread&f=116# Smilie I am trying to make the "top" div appear at the top of the page with no gap, currently this works in IE but in firefox 2 and opera there is a gap showing the lighter bluey/grey background colour, is this because I am using width 100%? It is probably a very newbish question but any help would be appreciated. Cheers I've created a site with a static background.gif "body" element, then a container (div) where I'm putting my stuff. I want the container to roll up and down against the nice static background in the body margins.(there is an example of what I'm trying to do at CSS garden http://www.csszengarden.com - check out Gothica #027)The problem is that when I use absolute positioning for the elements - the container ignores the content and doesn't size properly. But when I use relative positioning, I can make everything work out OK - except it generates tons of extra space that gets dumped at the bottom of the pages. So my question is - does anyone know how to get rid of the space? BTIA ok Ok. I have a container div in which all of my content for the whole site will be. Inside that I have a header and under it a nav bar on the left. I want to add content to the right of the nav bar but at the same height. If I try to add stuff it goes below. I tried float: left, absolute positioning, and negative margins but none worked since the nav bar then extends over the shrunken conatiner div. Any help on how to make the nav bar and other content side by side would be much appreciated! thanks! |
