Why doesn't this automatically adjust the size of the div next to it? Am I better going for the position attribute here guys? Cheers Hi. I was developing a website . I decided to use float in order to align content on my webpage. Everything worked fine in IE but when I viewed page in NS then linkbar and main area that supposed to be aligned correctly, where collided together. The link to this webpage is: http://www.itcollege.ee/~rbomberg/hagerel/index.php If viewed in NS then you should notice that the links on the left are not aligned properly and main body text is also dislocated. The CSS file used for this website is available at: http://www.itcollege.ee/~rbomberg/hagerel/test.css Thanks for all the help. www.l33tmonkey.com/sun/index.html completely ignoring the image issues, which are next on the list to sort out, I have a problem. I've gotten hold of two seperate scripts with permission from the author, and they wouldn't wrk together so I linked them externally as two seperate files. Both scripts cater to IE and other common browsers using conditional comments and are reasonably tidy even after I've been playing with them So here's the problem, the horozontal menu, with the two drop down sub menus, needs to float to the right, the float attribute is already present within the menu script, however, the float attribute will only work when set to the left. I altered it to the right and the menu went haywire. the scripts and index source can be viewed freely. Any help on this would be really appreciated, I'm no expert on CSS subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:
div#navigation {

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;
BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 2px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
HEIGHT: 200px;
WIDTH: 150px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
div.float p {
text-align: center;
}
div.container {
border: 2px dashed #333;
background-color: #ffe;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. I'm using frames and I want all my anchors to launch in a separate frame. Right now I'm doing: Code: <a href="http://example.com" target="MAIN">example</a> Can I put something in my stylesheet that will automatically launch all links in the "MAIN" frame? Thanks. I want to set a width for a div so that its left hand edge is at the left edge of the viewing window and its right hand edge is at a particular location in a centered layout and retains that width (ie it stretches) when the window is resized. A percent width will not achieve this. Can anyone explain how it can be done? Attempting to inherit all main attributes of a column, and modifying few, what is the correct way to inherit/overwrite the attributes of col3 here ? Code: .col3, col3b {
float: left;
position: relative;
background: #FFFFFF;
width: 25%;
height: 80%;
left: 3%;
border-left: 1px solid #333;
margin: 3px 2px 4px 0;
}
.col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
Tried as well like: Code: .col3 {
}
.col3 .col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
note: not talking about a single 'inherit' value <div type="test"> I am interested in the type attribute. The reason is this... I have a Janus GridEx on my asp.net form and I want to add some css styles to it. There is no ID defined, nor a class of which I can inherit. I can't modify the code for this tag so I was hoping I could use the type attribute to identify this div in my css.... This is the code for the DIV I'm talking about: Code: <div type="4" style="position:relative;padding:0px 0px;width:100%;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:auto;"> Anyone has any experience with this? Thanks! Hi people, What is the equivalent of this div style attribute in css? <div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 500px; height: 300px"> Its the overflow what I'm looking for. -just edited this that I have the solution sorry beginners corner The title attribute will display black text in a yellow box on the mouse over of an element. Take this code: Code: <a href='#' title='This should be a different background color or something'>text link</a> I want to have the title attribute display with a different background color, different font color and font size. I was wondering how I might use CSS to get into this attribute and do some editing. Thanks in advance, Taylor I'm quite fluent in xhtml, css, and other crap...but I'm not sure why this doesn't work -> the height attribute is set to a percentage, yet it doesn't work...I know its acceptable i checked the css reference. view source on this Validated xhtml strict 1.01 EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT... I NEEDED TO PUT THIS html, body { height:100% ; width:100% } Having a little trouble. I'm creating a horizontal nav menu with a bg image for each li, but can't seem to get the height set for the li in css. Using this code: Code: nl#navBar {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
nl#navBar li{
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
}
nl#navBar li a:before {
content: url(../images/navbutton_left.gif);
}
nl#navBar li a:after {
content: url(../images/navbutton_right.gif);
}
nl#navBar li a{
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background: url(../images/navbutton_bg.gif);
}
nl#navBar li a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background: url(../images/navbutton_bg_hover.gif);
}
I have tried several different variations of code putting height attributes and displays as block, but no combination seems to work. I'm having a little trouble with the Overflow attribute on my side scrolling website. I have uploaded 2 versions one and two of the same site, one with
Code: overflow:hidden; overflow-x:visible; and one with just. Code: overflow:hidden; the first one is completely static in safari and won't scroll at all but scrolls really nicely in firefox (with a scroll wheel as there are no scroll bars). The second one has a horizontal scroll bar but goes really wierd and starts scrolling horizontally as well which I don't want to happen as it messes up my site. Is there a way to get the site to scroll horizontally without scrolling vertically? I have tried it both this way and by only using Code: overflow-y:hidden; but it has similar results. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated Is there an equivalent to the target attribute in XHTML strict for anchor tags? Greetings All, Wonder if you might be able to assist... I'm trying to make a page accessible from IE6 and generic mobile devices. I have selected different images to be displayed on the mobile screens using the 'media' attribute eg: <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #mobileimage {display:none} </style> <style type="text/css" media="handheld"> #normalimage {display:none} </style> <div id="normalimage"> <img src="diagram 2 560wide.jpg"> </div id="normalimage"> <div id="mobileimage"> <img src="diagram 2 560tall.jpg"> </div id="mobileimage"> and this works just fine in IE6, Opera for Symbian UIQ (mobile device) and BlackBerry devices. However, the images are not displayed at all in Pocket IE on Windows Mobile 2003 devices, although other CSS layout is (kinda) OK. Apparantly, Pocket IE recognises 'all', 'screen', and 'handheld'. Any ideas whether this will work? How to get round it? All help gratefully received... Thanks, Nick. For most of my webpages, I use a few element templates for body, div, etc. I'm using more positioning in my pages, and so for the sake of nested div's, I want to add some standardized positioning to my template:
Code: div{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border: 0 #000000 solid;
/*** added positioning atributes ***/
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 0;
}
I know that some of this is "standard", but I want to be absolutely sure the browser is going to render my page as I want it. My question is, will/should adding this positioning increase the processing/rendering time of the page (as using table-less design uses a lot of divs)? It's probably a silly thing to worry about, but I'm also interested in what atributes are more processing intensive. |
