CSS - Css Help With Source Ordered Content (soc)

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.

Hi,

Can you please let me know the meaning of "mso-height-source: userset" in the css styles? I have searched in the google but I couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Sridhar.

anyway to disable a user from viewing your css source? not particular for me but, i think there might be a way with php in the css file, but it still displays the code when i go to the file

hello

I am currently working on a website with a template from mambo open source.

Unfortunately there are some icons built in the css that are rather ugly to look at.

Would any one of you know how to hide them?

thank you and regards,

(THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY MY CSS IS SCREWING UP REALLY BAD) any help please i have no idea what this means

Ok, so I have been reading that it is best to place text as far up in the source code as possible for search engines. That being said, is it feasible to write code that uses DIVS extensively, and by doing so, place a div for the very top of a web page at the bottom of the source code, and a div for body text at the very beginning of the source code? I hope this makes sense...

I understand that the "compact" attribute is deprecated, so is there a way to squish the horizontil lines in an ordered list - effectively change the line spacing within the list - a style of somesort?

Code:

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;">
  <li><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">item 1;</span></li>
  <li><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">item 2;</span></li>
</ol>

thanks

Hi ... I'm new here. I hope someone can help me.

I've taken a Dreamweaver CS3 3-column template and added a fourth column. Everything looks okay until I move the "main content" column above columns 2 and 3 in the source code (so that it will load before them, because they have external content). Then I get float drop with columns 2 and 3.

Since I'm a new user, I'm not allowed to post URLs, but I think if you go to my profile you can see my home page address. Then just add the following paths:

Page without float drop (before changing column order)
/new/index.html

Page with float drop (after changing column order)
/new/about.html

I tested this on the basic DW template that I started with, and it has the same problem.

I ran my page through the CSS validator with only two errors that I can't figure out. However, I get 75 errors when I use the XHTML validator, and I think I'll have a nervous breakdown if I have to try to fix all that.

I know it's probably something to do with margins or floats, but I've tried everything I can think of and I'm at wit's end.

Thanks in advance.

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

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

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!

On a CSS tutorial page, I saw an element for an "include-source" command that you can put into your style sheet. It's something like:

include-source: url("test.html");

My understanding from that site was that you can put this into your style sheet. Therefore, you can have another page's contents (in my case, only text) display. In other words, whatever I had in the test.html file would display in the <div> tag on the index page where I had called it.

It's not working, so what am I missing? I'm using PHP; would that be easier?

What I'm trying to do is have a standard layout for all of my pages using css. Instead of having to go into each page and edit it, I'd rather have it in files that I can get into and not search through all of the PHP, HTML, CSS code. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm knocking up a new site and I'd like to place the content first in the source code, followed by the nav code etc.

The design of the site goes: header -> main content -> footer.

The navigation will sit in the header above the main content.
all the nav links etc. are text and will be resizable by the user as that is good accessibility practice. This means the header can change height as the font expands.

So my question is...

I see how I could put the header and nav last in the soiurce code and then position it absolutely, and position the main content etc. under it. but how do I do this when the height of the header can vary if the user alters the text size etc.?


any tips ladies and gentlemen?

I am working form a template that I am modifying a website and the the content is working fine in Chrome, Safari, and FF, but the part of the sidebar shows up in IE7 and no other content. Any asssitance will be appreciated. I tried different hacks with no luck. I got errors for unscrollable content but I don't believe that is it because I tried all "fixes"

hi, I have a layour where the container is 100% high, and then I have a header and nav
then I have a #main and #bar divs (columns)
then #footer

I would like for the footer to stick to the bottom and the main, and bar expand to the bottom (even if there isn't enough text)

does this make sense, heres my css

PHP Code:
 html,body {
        height:100%;
        margin:0px;
        padding:0px;
        background: #eee;
    }
    
    #container {
        height:100%;
        margin: 0 auto;
        width: 720px;
        border-left: 1px solid #000;
        border-right: 1px solid #000;
        background: #f00;        
    }

    #header {
        height: 170px;
        background: #ff0 url('../images/header.gif');    
    }

    #nav {
        height: 25px;
        padding: 5px;
        background: #666;
    }

    #main {
        width: 400px;
        float: left;
        padding: 10px;
        background: #fff;
    }
    
    #bar {
        padding: 10px;
        margin-left: 420px;
        border-left: 1px solid #006;
        background: #fff;
    }

    #copy {
        height: 30px;
        background: #999;
        clear: both;
    } 

my css :

Code:

#contentright {
		width:171px;
		padding:0px;
		float:left;
		background:#fff;
		}

I am new to useing css for layout and am running into a problem where if I do

Code:

<div id="contenteight">

some text

</div>

then try to do it again


Code:

<div id="contenteight">

some more text

</div>

it doesn't place the new text on the right, but rather at the bottom left.

also my while page is inside of
Code:

	#frame {
		width:823px;
		margin-right:auto;
		margin-left:auto;
		margin-top:10px;
		padding:0px;
		text-align:left;
		}

any help

thanks
