CSS - Header Width Issue
Hi all. I'm having a problem with the header of my web page. I want it to extend across the entire page but can't seem to get it to do so. When I change the width, the header extends to the right only.
the url is spatterblog, can view using firebug the css is: #header { background: #e75c14 url('images/img02.gif') repeat-x center center; } #headerimg { margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 100%; #headerimg .description { font-size: 1.2em; text-align: center; } #header { background-color: #e75c14; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 0; height: 200px; } Similar TutorialsHi i want to have a site with 3 columns a header and a footer where the height of the content and both the columns spreads to fill the page even if there is only a few lines of content. Also i wanted to have a margin round the page so that the page doesnt fill the screen horizontal. i cant seem to get it to work correctly does anyone have an example i can look at? cheers Andy 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); } Hello, im trying to make Fixed width 3 columns (each column have fixed width) layout 100% height with header and footer. -Well I see alot of examples around the web, but i dont see complete one and im really tired of searching, i made the Fixed width 3 comlumns layout, left and right are absolute position, and center is relative to the header -the problem is that all columns dont fill the whole height of the browser windows, the footer doesnot work good. so the whole thing is missed up, so please show 100% working example of what i need. Thanks in Advanced Samer my site looks different in IE9. The red block on the right of Find Us shifts down onto the next line but in IE8 firefox and opera it displays fine. Is there a way to sort this without conditional statements or do i need to redo the menu set up agian? Here is a snippet of the css for the menu: Code: #topMenu { width:960px; position:absolute; bottom:0;} ul#menu { margin:0; padding:0; list-style-type:none; width:auto; position:relative; display:block; font-size:16px; } ul#menu li { display:block; float:left; margin:0; padding:0; } .left { width:206px; background-color:#d30507; height:19px; } .right { width:55px; background-color:#d30507; height:19px; } ul#menu li a { display:block; float:left; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; padding:0px 20px 0 20px; border-right: 1px solid #d30507; } ul#menu li a:hover { color:#fff; background: #d30507; } ul#menu li a.current { display:inline; color:#fff; background: #d30507; float:left; margin:0; } Hi all, I'm having a little trouble getting my CSS rounded border to display correctly. I've neally got it however i am unable to sort out the right hand side alignment. I want it to be 234px wide, at the moment i have the width set at 100% but whenever i change this value to anything smaller or a fixed width i get all kind of incorrect output. You can see the code he Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <STYLE type="text/css" media="all"> @import url( css/commonDesignA.css ); </STYLE> </head> <body> <BR><BR> <!-- START: Boxed Cell Information Cell --> <div class="wpFieldSetCornerTopLeft"></div> <div class="wpFieldSetTopCenter"></div> <div class="wpFieldSetCornerTopRight"></div> <div class="wpFieldSetCenter"> <div class="wpFieldSetCenterContent"> <!-- START: Boxed Cell Information Cell Content --> <Span class="mytpPanelHaeding">Test</span> <!-- END: Boxed Cell Information Cell Content --> </div> </div> <div class="wpFieldSetCornerBottomLeft"></div> <div class="wpFieldSetBottomCenter"></div> <div class="wpFieldSetCornerBottomRight"></div> <!-- END: Boxed Cell Information Cell --> </body> </html> ...and the CSS file: Code: .panelHeading { COLOR: #982E33; } /* *** Field Set Corner/Center Styles ** */ .wpFieldSetCornerTopLeft { font-size: 0px; float: left; vertical-align: top; width: 4px; height: 4px; background-image: url(../images/borders/top_left.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } .wpFieldSetCornerTopRight { font-size: 0px; float: right; vertical-align: top; width: 4px; height: 4px; background-image: url(../images/borders/top_right.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } .wpFieldSetCornerBottomLeft { font-size: 0px; float: left; vertical-align: top; width: 4px; height: 4px; background-image: url(../images/borders/bottom_left.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } .wpFieldSetCornerBottomRight { font-size: 0px; float: right; vertical-align: top; width: 4px; height: 4px; background-image: url(../images/borders/bottom_right.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } .wpFieldSetTopCenter { font-size: 0px; float: left; vertical-align: bottom; height: 4px; width:234; background-color: #ffffff; border-top: 1px solid darkblue; } .wpFieldSetBottomCenter { font-size: 0px; float: left; vertical-align: top; height: 4px; width:234; background-color: #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid darkblue; } .wpFieldSetCenter { float: left; width: 100%; background-color: #ffffff; } .wpFieldSetCenterContent { padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-right: 1px solid darkblue; border-left: 1px solid darkblue; } BODY { BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(../images/bg_gradient_blue-D7E8F0.jpg); BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d7e8f0; BACKGROUND-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: fixed; MARGIN: 0px; } Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers. If you could please see this page: http://pnlab.soundwebdev.com/PostCalendar.phtml compare in IE vs. Firefox (or anything good ) You will see that in IE the content of the right column shifted below the last thing in the left column. I believe this is because IE thinks that the right-col content is too wide and so shifts it down. Obviously, I don't want that. because this is a dynamic-content site (Postnuke), I can't just change the width of the content on the right-col, so the solution has to be in the template or the css. template: http://pnlab.soundwebdev.com/themes...ates/master.htm (view source) css: http://pnlab.soundwebdev.com/pnTemp...imple.style.css any ideas? puulllease? Hello everybody, For my home page at http://www.nextcraft.com I'm using the following syntax in the HTML: Code: <body> <a name="top"></a> <div align="center"> <div id="container"> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="header"> <a href="http://www.nextcraft.com"><img src="media/00_primary/menugraphics/nextcraft_banner.gif" title="Click here for the home page." height="68" width="395" alt="nextcraft logo" align="left" /></a> <div id="search_box"> </div> </div> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="col_left"> <ul id="navlist"> </ul> </div> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="content"> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="subnav"> <ul id="subnav"> </ul> </div> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="sidebar"> <div class="box" id="black"> </div> </div> <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- TEXT AND OTHER CONTENT GOES HERE --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <div id="footer"> </div> <!-- =================================================================== --> </div><!-- END CONTENT DIV --> <!-- =================================================================== --> </div><!--END CONTAINER DIV--> </div><!--END DIV CENTERING--> </body> (On the stylesheet code, the "header" DIV has no positioning defaults, and the "search_box" code has a Code: float:right; attribute. Note two things: 1. If you resize the browser window, the search box and other elements wrap around in a logical way. 2. The logo is a link to the home page, with the "title" attribute used so that a link description pops up on a mouseover. I like that. But... I change the appearance of my site from time to time, by alternating between several stylesheets. This sometimes calls for a different header graphic. Problem: If I put the header graphic in the stylesheet as a background image, the site will appear the same, but then the header's link and title attribute cannot be used, and the search box will now pass right through the header when the browser window is resized. My goal would be to place the header graphic (including the link information) in the style sheet, and still keep the visible "title" attribute and proper wraparound behavior. Any suggestions? Thank you! Hi, www.personaldevelopment.ca looks great in firefox and IE, but in konqeror/safari (i test in konq because it uses the same html rendering engine) the top left is stretched a tad further than it should. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this? I am out of ideas. http://www.uberwald.com/images/pdtop.jpg (Thanks zAlanm) Thanks. tdela Web page: http:/ / www. diffentest.pikadoo.com / difference / index.php?title=Mouse_vs_Rat CSS location: http:/ / diffentest.pikadoo.com / difference / skins / mistylook / main.css Works perfectly in FF, Safari and Opera. Problem: In IE6, #entityfamilies div has a width problem. If I specify width as 75%, it takes 75% of parent div whereas the other browser's seem to be considering window width. The second problem with IE6 is that the div scrolls away with the page (I don't want it to - and it remains static in FF). The problem with IE7 is that the entire div vanishes from the view. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have been working this for hours and no sleep yet on Friday night. Afternoon Folks! Have a seemingly simple problem here but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a Horizontal drop-down CSS menu. It's working really well in FF but our fav friend IE is reading it differently. I'm using a list for my nav, with an auto width and 15px padding left/right. But in IE it registers my width as 100% so my horizontal menu turns into a vertical menu. edit:: using IE6 as my base test simply because IE7 isn't an "Approved Software" for work yet.. haha! I'm about to head out to lunch in a few and wanted to see if some CSS wiz's could slap me and help me find the best solution for my needs. I'm sure it's simple and I just keep scimmin right over it. So I uploaded what I have for it. It can be seen here This is the style which defines my width: css Code: Original - css Code #pmenu a, #pmenu a:visited { display:block; padding: 0 15px; width: auto; font-size:11px; color:#fff; height:25px; line-height:24px; text-decoration:none; border-right: 1px dotted #fff; } #pmenu a, #pmenu a:visited { Of course, any and all help is appreciated! TYTY! TIA! Lates! Hello, I'm building a site for a friend and I have an issue on older IE browsers with the page expanding horizontally out of bounds when the content reaches more than 100% of the viewport. Could someone offer me a solution for this problem? It works properly on Moz and IE8. The anomaly can be viewed on this page: http://mercurial.pri.ee/Esaber/isabel.html My CSS files are as follows: http://mercurial.pri.ee/Esaber/styling.css http://mercurial.pri.ee/Esaber/table.css I'm having two issues with IE on my site. 1. IE is displaying the body background image (bg.jpg) throughout the entire page. 2. IE is pushing the sidebar way down. Neither of these issues exist in Firefox. I think the second issue may have something to do with the first issue. Here is the relevant code. Code: html,body * { padding:0px; margin:0px; } body { background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-color:#fb7d21; margin:0 auto; height:100%; } div#container { width:792px; margin:0 auto; background-image:url(images/filler.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } div#header { width:792px; height:109px; background-image:url(images/header.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; margin-top:20px; } div#content { float:left; width:570px; padding:0 0 0 10px; margin-top:-40px; } div#sidebar { float:right; width:212px; margin-top:-95px; } div#footer { clear:both; width:792px; height:84px; background-image:url(images/footer.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; } You can see the issues on my site here. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance. having a problem ;-) Why else post here right ?? well please have a look at http://www.furastadesigns.com/kfn/ using firefox,, see the pulldowns ? they are correctly sized when the pulldown is dropped. But in Explorer they are keeping the same size as the mainbox (not the pulldown) I tried controlling the option tag but using width:; but that works only in firefox. Any ideas on how to make the option (the pulldown list) bigger then the main box in firefox ??.. Thanks alot... CSS 1, Netscape 4.x and background+width issue need workaround: I am working on a website template and converting it to CSS. I have seperated my CSS1 from my CSS 2 sheet and am currently trying to get NN 4.x to do what I have read it won't do and have no idea how to make it do what I want. BTW:Please do not advise me to drop NN 4.x, unfortunately it is not within my power to do so. What I need to do is put a background color on an H1 header that will be only as wide as the table cell (column) it is in. (3 column plus header and footer layout). BTW: I cannot drop the table either. My problem is that when I get the background to work (instead of just surrounding the text) I cannot get it to be liquid and remain inside its cell. When I set the width to %'s it just pushes the other 2 columns out of the way even when the % is not the width of the column. Unfortunately, pixels are not flexible enough for this layout. So, how do I get a background color on an H1 tag that fully expands to the width of the column (not just the text) using CSS 1 and NN 4.x while not destroying the table layout? Thank you for your help- Schach PS: This is not an issue of my code, but an issue of the NN 4.x CSS support. So I do not need to have the code debugged, but instead I need a hack or method to outsmart the browser, so I can duplicate a site in CSS. This site is currently heavily reliant on tables, something we want to change, but can't unless we can reproduce the site in NN 4.x. (You can email me if you would like to do that) So I'm having what I think are CSS issues with a site... I'm supposedly a "new user" though I've been registered for a long time, and just not used this account in a long time, so I can't show my URL's here... tried to abbreviate them... I'm not sure how to show you what the issues are if I'm not allowed to post URLs. Anyone with any suggestions there? This looks fine in IE, but not in Firefox. On (blocked) the main content that sits in the middle of the page sits in an 800px div called "page". I've set the background color for that to be white: FFFFFF, which Internet Explorer seems to understand. But Firefox seems to be leaving "page" to be transparent. This means that either the left div (content) or the right div (reef-job) ends when the content inside of it ends, rather than continuing down to the bottom of the "page" content. I'm not sure how to fix it for Firefox. Again, it's all the pages inside of (carrieandjonathan [dot] com /island-reef-job) and the stylesheet is at (carrieandjonathan [dot] com / island-reef-job / mt-island-reef-job.css) #page { width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0px 0; background-color:#ffffff; } Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank-you in advance! Warmest, Jonathan Trying to delete my post but no option to delete so just removing content. Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? |
