CSS - Fixed Positioning

Hi everyone,

I have posted here [HTML Programming] because I'm not entirely sure what forum this particular problem should be put in.

I have a fixed menu that I include using php. From looking at the source code I can see that it has definately included the menu. However IE only displays the menu 50% of the time.

I have no idea why. At first I thought it was because I have a javascript animation for it to slide down, but I removed that and I still get the same problem.

To see what I mean please visit twisted-reality.co.uk using IE and refresh a few times.

Firefox, Opera, Safari and Netscape all display the menu fine, but IE feels like it needs to be different.

I'm new to this forum but I hope someone can help

Hi all,

Okay, so I've got a page with a central column which has a drop-shadow and a background image... The obvious problem is that the repeated background image doesn't always line-up with the background image in the dropshadow. Plus, The backround image changes position whenever the page is resized.

So I was looking here, to see if I could find the code to center the background image in the screen, and make it a fixed position, but even then, when you resize the page, the background image seems to move with it.

Does anyone know how to fix a background image so that it will stay aligned with the central content/dropshadow of the page?

Thanks.

Firefox bug combining absolute and fixed positioning
Hey helpful people.

I am designing a site which has a floating toolbar (position: fixed) with popup menus. The popup menus are using nested lists and position: absolute to display.
JavaScript is dealing with the transition.

The problem is that in firefox alone the fixed toolbar jumps when the popup menus show and hide. Removing either position: fixed or the offset (bottom: 27px) removes this problem. However these need to be present in the design.

Anyone know a workaround? (webpage and css below)

Code:

<div class="toolbar_O">
  <div class="toolbar_I">
    <!-- top page info -->
    <div class="pageInformation cf">
      <!-- Page Status Info Start -->
      <div class="pageStatus">

How can I fix a Div a set distance below another Div without a set height?

Hi all,

I need some help. I have implemented a fixed header on my site, but certain content is scrolling above the header while other is scrolling behind. I would like it all to scroll behind the fixed div's.

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.

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a div at the bottom of the screen as being a fixed position but the problem with this it does not work in IE.

So then how would i go about doing this?

css Code:
Original - css Code .footerBar { background-color:#CCCCCC; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; width:100%; height:40px; position:fixed; color:#FFFFFF; left:0px; bottom:0px; }

  

  


 .footerBar


     {


         background-color:#CCCCCC;


         margin: 0 auto 0 auto;


         width:100%;


         height:40px;


         position:fixed;


         color:#FFFFFF;


         left:0px;


         bottom:0px;


     } 

html Code:
Original - html Code <div class="footerBar"> Hello World </div>

  

<div class="footerBar">
    Hello World
</div>

ok my site works perfect in ffox but when i load it in ie the fixed position dose not work :'( why not?, if i go back in firefox it will

Please look at
http://www.mailhorde.com/scripts.php
and
http://www.mailhorde.com/

You will see what i mean. THe navigation bar is being stretched down. I have the top image in a table cell of its own.

Is there any CSS that will stop this from happening?


Thanks,
Andrew

Hey folks...

I'm working on a site that uses CSS, and the PHP "switch" statement, to pull pages into a main div on the index page.

I put a background image into the main ".content" div, which should remain fixed while the content (brought in by the switch), scrolls over it. When I wrote the image in, FF did this by default, whereas in IE, the image would scroll with the text... so I put in the "background-attachment:fixed" code in, and now it works fine in IE, but FF has suddenly developed a problem with it.. the image is off-center, so only part of it shows, leaving huge white spaces where it should be covered.

You can look at the site here.

I've attached the code for the index page as a word document. Hope this is OK, I figured it would be better than sticking all the code on here!

Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Does such a thing exist? I have seen various examples and tried more than one, and every time I either end up with a right margin when the page is not long enough to scroll, or I end up with a horizontal scroll bar when the page is scrolling.

All I want is a fixed position footer (at the bottom of the viewport permanently) where the page content scrolls vertically behind it without any gaps

Hi! I'm new here, so I'd like to greet everyone first.

Secondly.. I have a minor problem with my test webpage. I'm not an expert in CSS, but I did manage to sort-of make my own web template and all. Now the problem is that with resolution smaller than 1024*768 main frame of the page (post frame - blog) jumps over the sidebar. Here's the webpage so you can see for yourselves what my problem is.
I want it to be fixed in browser (as in "when I resize the browser window, the whole layout says fixed and I need to scroll to see the very right end of it"), but don't know how to do that. Any help, please?

The whole template is still under construction.. and the webpage is just a test page. The real page is elsewhere waiting to get the new template.

I'm working on my personal website and needed something quick so I found a free template I liked and started changing things as needed. The way the header works is it uses a background img for the nav so it displays off both sides of the browser. This image scrolls up as the page does. To make it look more interesting I wanted to add a simple background image to visually box in the content... but I need this one to be fixed. Every solution I've tried doesn't seem to work. I'm posting separate test links with a description why its not working. (I'm a new user so you'll have to copy/paste links. Figured it'd be easier for you to see it than post 8 different code tags).

First thing's first: Images I'm moving around a
bg_boarder.jpg and bg_general.jpg

bradyoo.com/test.html
Both bg imgs in body {} - boarder img scrolls.

bradyoo.com/test02.html
Boarder img fixed in wrapper {} - boarder img displays on top of bg_general by YO logo.

bradyoo.com/tes03t.html
Boarder img fixed in body {}, general img in header{} - General image doesn't display beyond wrapper.

I even tried fixing everything (not the optimal result, but I will use it if this is the only solution)

bradyoo.com/test04.html
Both bg fixed in body {}, position: fixed in header {} - I added the fixed position in the header to keep the nav from scrolling but the embeded content displays on top of the header when scrolling.

i am trying to do this example here

w3schools.c0m/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_fixed

the o, in .com has been changed to 0 so i could post. sorry

the text " Some more text "

I wish to had dead center on the right side of the page, not near the top like that,
