CSS - Css Header Problem

So, here's what I've got:

http://www.anthonycarboni.com

The header is supposed to appear 50 pixels high, flush with the top (no margins), with the header text middle aligned inside of it. This is working in IE 6 and 7, but is not working well in FF (mac/pc) or in Safari.

Here is all code that pertains to that section. It is sure to be woefully poor, as I'm just getting into CSS:

Code:

body {
    color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #000000;
    font-family: 'ArialMT', 'Arial', sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    letter-spacing: 0;
    line-height: 19px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    opacity: 1.00;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-indent: 0px;
    text-transform: none;
    min-width: 800px;
}

.main{
		background-color: #202020;
		width: 800px;
		margin-left: auto;
		margin-right: auto;
		text-align: left;
}

.header{
		height: 50px;
		background-image: url('images/header.jpg');
		background-repeat: repeat;
}

p.headline {
		font-size: 32px;
		font-weight: bold;
		text-transform: uppercase;
		text-align: center;
		letter-spacing: 0.8em;
		vertical-align: middle;
}

And there you have it. I'm tearing my hair out over what I'm sure is some small thing that anyone with experience would notice immediately. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I want to do this design:
http://hermann.sonyextreme.com/upload/design.png
* means it should be "the rest". Just like when working with frames. So the sites height is 100% and width is 800px.

I've set it up like this:
Code:

<div id="container">
  <div id="header">
  </div>
  <div id="main">
    <div id="menu">
    </div>
    <div id="content">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div id="footer">
  </div>
</div>

But no matter what I try, the css just keeps ****ing with me
So do you have any tricks/know any sites who have done this succesfully... or just anything to help me, then I'd love to hear from you

Thanks in advance
Hermann

Hi

I am quite familiar with CSS but am stumped on how I could do the following.

Basically I need a template with a header, body and footer, I know, sounds simple right, but I need to have the middle body section of the page stretching to the height of the browser, so that the space in between the header and footer is filled in with the middle container.

The middle container that stretches to the required height needs to have a background image that cannot be covered over by the header or the footer.

This is the problem, because if the middle container is set to 100% height, then a scroll bar is always present because of the header and footers height.

I have been able to create what I am trying to do with a table, but obviously I want to avoid using a table for a layout.

Is there any way to recreate this but via CSS?

Take a look at the table layout and change the size of your browser to see the effect I am aiming for, but in CSS

This is an attempt in CSS, but It requires me to set the headers and footers background image to the same as the bodys background image, with I can't have .

Congratulations on making it to the end of this long, but hopefully un-confusing post

Thanks and any reply's are really, really appreciated as I am so stuck on this one!

Hello all, still a little new to css layout problem-shooting in older browsers, so thanks for your help in advance!

I'm having a problem which is only occurring in Internet Explorer 6, but I just can seem to figure out what's wrong.


if you look at the page in any other browser, you can see the header <div> stretches the width: 100%, but in IE6, the header <div> does not extend all the way to the left, but rather starts where the margin:auto Main <div> tag starts from the left side.

What I am lost on is that the footer <div> performs this just fine, but it's position is not fixed and there is no z-index. here is the code for both, and thanks again for having a look:

#header {
width: 100%;
height: 107px;
display: block;
position: fixed;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url(../images/main/bhs_design_header_gradient.jpg);
z-index: 100;

}

#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
display: block;
background-color:#000000;
margin-top: 10px;
clear: both;
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #EBEAE8;
margin: 0px;
background-image: url(../images/main/bhs_design_footer_gradient.jpg);
}

I've mocked up a page using 960.gs that has has several elements fixed in a div under which the content of the of the page is to flow. The background of this div is a CSS gradient, and has a height of 100% (if the gradient is applied to to the actual body of the page it doesn't actually extend the whole width of the page). As the user scrolls up, the content is to be viewable behind an opaque menu.

bit.ly/f2a4rC

The layout works as I want in FF and Chrome, but the content of the page scrolls over the fixed upper area in IE7.

I understand that a new stacking context is being created, but I've been unable to resolve this by fiddling with the z-index of the elements in question, or their parents. I know I can consolidate some of the extra divs used by the grid, but I've been unable to do so in a way that keeps the gradient and transparency effects.

How can I achieve this look in IE7?

Hello
I am very new to CSS. One of my problems is that my web experience is only in tools that generate the code. I"m needing what I"m told is a simple thing to do, but not finding it easy for me

I tried to post with some links to my site, etc, but the rules won't let me post any links. I have posted in another CSS site, but fine it very inactive and not getting any help.

What I'm trying to do

All items below to make up the header of the site. A background graphic which fills across the screen, no matter the size of the window. I have this working, although if I shrink the window too far, it overwrites the graphic in item 2 below. A left justified logo graphic. Working fine. A Centered graphic. I have this showing, but it is not quite centered right, and it is a bit smaller than actual, and I cannot get it to space down a bit. (tried padding, does nothing. Trying margin spaces everything down, including item 1 above. A right justified graphic. This shows, but is VERY SMALL, much smaller than original graphic, and it does not right justify.
NOTES
The current code, below, is based on a tutorial I went through, using % for width. The idea being that if it is built based on percent of width, then whatever width of window, it would adjust. I used 900px for original calculations. I find that it only fills the window as if it is 900 px wide. So I redid the percentages based on 1500px.

I've done lots of reading, Googling, and been trying all kinds of stuff and getting not too far with it. Tried px for width too, seems worse.

Here is a print screen of the header:

[IMG]URL[/IMG]

Sigh...sorry...even img code has a url, and even though it showed in preview, I see it will not display it in actual message.

The site I"m working on is shuttermaster.co (not com), where you can see what it looks like now.

CSS Code
Only including the code relevant to the header issue. I do have menu code in CSS, but it is not complete, and I'm not having problems with that.

Code:

	#myHeader {width:auto;height:133px;
		background:url(/photos/i-QXfPgvM/0/S/i-QXfPgvM-S.jpg) repeat-x}

 		#myLogo {
				 float:left;
				 width:10%;
				 height:150px	;
				 margin-left:2.22%;
				 display:inline;
				 background:url(/photos/i-sttGP6Z/1/O/i-sttGP6Z.png) no-repeat}
			   

		#myConame {
				
				width: 15.33%;
				height:90px;
				margin-left:auto;
				margin-right:auto;
				background:url(/photos/i-T3ZjJ8R/2/Th/i-T3ZjJ8R-Th.png) no-repeat}
		
		
		#myBanner {
				float:right;
				width: 29.73%;
				height:150px;
				background:url(/photos/i-BkhSxLJ/1/Th/i-BkhSxLJ-Th.png) no-repeat}

The HTML Code

Code:

<div id="myHeader">
<div id="myLogo"></div>
<div id="myConame"></div>
<div id="myBanner"></div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<div class="menu">
  <ul>
        <li><a href="http://shuttermaster.co">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
		<li><a class="drop" href="http://shuttermaster.co/galleries" >Galleries
			<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
			<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
			<ul>	
				<li><a href="http://rogerewingphotography.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Landscapes/19892237_mHBK84">Landscape</a></li>
				<li><a href="Link">Drop 2</a></li>
				<li><a href="Link">Drop 3</a></li>
        </ul> <!--[if lte IE 7]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
   </li>
        <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Guestbook</a></li>
  </ul>
</div> 
</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>

I hope I have been clear enough. Hoping someone can point me the right direction.

Regards, and thanks....

Hello,

I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

My problem is:

- divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows.

Here is a html code:

Code:

<!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER -->

</head>

	<div id="template_header">
		<div id="tl_outerborder"></div>
		<div id="t_outerborder"></div>

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.

How do i stop the <h1> add white space above and below anything in the header tag.

Hi,

How do I indent my H1 tag as they are too close to the edge of the page. I tried all the functions for a <p> but they dont work for headers

Thanks

I'm currenty working on a website, and header is really starting to get on my nerves. If you go to http://www.techtalk.l2p.net/tab/index.php you can see what I have done so far. Well, I have a few problems.
When trying to log in, and you press tab to go from Username to Password, it goes to the Login link instead. After filling in the Password field, and you press Enter, nothing happens. When the browser is resized, the whole header gets messed up. I was thinking some CSS could help it work, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, my name is Jordan, and I run breatheheavy (can't post the URL)

I have a new header designed that's 1665x515px. I am having a little trouble putting it on the website because of the current restrictions placed in Wordpress on the header.php and style.css files. When I uploaded the header and changed the settings in Wordpress, it didn't look correct on all browsers or the iPad. I was hoping to get some help from someone that could help me with this and make it compatible with all browsers / mobile version.

You can see the site on an ipad simulator site (also can't post the link)

Thanks for reading

Sending good vibes your way,

Jordan

Why is the second header on his site is located at the bottom of the page, I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone take a look at the page and maybe point me in the right direction? The url is <NO LONGER AVAILABLE> I know that is has to have something to do with #clearheader1 or #clearheader2 calls. Maybe where they are placed or something.
