CSS - Trying To Make Identical Pages With Different Content
Ok, I have basic CSS knowledge but need some help. Here's what I'd like to do:
I take trips and post pictures on my site. I use lighthouse to display the images, so each image has a separate filename and caption, and each group of images has a separate group name. Under "Ski Trip", for instance, I'll have Img 1, "Skiing"; Img 2, "More skiing"; etc. It's relatively tedious to create page after page that uses the same format. I use CSS for style, the menu, and Lighthouse, but is there way that I could create a new page entitled "New ski trip.html" and in that file just have a list of the image filenames, captions, etc., that end up all using the same html format to display the images? I don't think I'm being terribly clear (sorry) ... big kudos to anyone who can help. Similar Tutorialshi, I have a problem with my website. On one of my computer my website proportions look right, but on my other computer it looks proportioned different. On my Computer everything is ok,but on my friends computer the web pages are not good. the css styles are ok but some images are bigger and some are small.how to solve this problem thanks mrjameer When I switch between pages with images on them, everything is fine. When I switch between pages without images on them, everything is fine. But when I switch to or from a page with a picture on it to or from a page without a picture on it, the page jumps sideways a bit. Most ppl probably wouldn't even notice this, but I find it really annoying and want a good way to get rid of this. I'm using a centered fixed width css style so I have no idea how this could be happening. I'll just add the css if needed: (Any random advice or advice on how to make buttons without photoshop would be awesome too!) Code: body {
background: #FFFF96;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
}
td {
background: #FFFF96;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
}
a {
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
}
a:link {
color:#2828FF;
}
a:visited {
color:#2828FF;
}
a:hover {
color:#AFAFFF;
}
a:active {
color:#AFAFFF;
}
img {
border: none;
}
#wrapper {
width: 950px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#title {
width: 100%;
font-size: 27px;
font-style: italic;
background-image: url("images/bgwinterowl.gif")
}
#links {
width: 100%;
padding: 15px;
}
#body1 {
border: 4 double;
border-color: red;
background: #FFFFF0;
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
padding: 15px;
}
#body2 {
background: #FFFFF0;
text-align: left;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 100px;
width: 500px;
}
I've looked over a couple of answers and they didn't seem to help me. I have a css "container" box defined like so, containing another "content" box. I'd like the container's height to stretch to contain whatever is in the content box. #container { width: 720px; height:????????????????; margin: auto; text-align: left; position: relative; } #content { position: relative; left:125px; top: 105px; width:500px; border:0px solid #000; } with html like so: <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> The content always spills over, unless I set overflow, but that does not solve the problem. Quick nagging question that's been bothering me for some time. Fortunately, I have a link to explain the problem. If you go to our web page (link below), you will see that we have a DIV section on the left side of the page which displays a mini You Tube video, along with a few other buttons: http://bit.ly/gL9sA8 The problem is that when you shrink the window, that particular div will shy away outside the bounds of the browser window. Is there anyway to not have it disappear, but at the same time, not have the main content overlap it in anyway. In other words, how would you code the DIV tag so that the following two things happen: 1. It's always in view on the LEFT side of the webpage 2. The main DIV stops against it, and doesn't overlap it if resized As you can see, if you shrink the size of the window, our main div area (div id: mainWrapper) is always going to be centered which is the most important thing. However, we want to have a left (or right) side area to display buttons like that. Here is the current code for that left sided DIV column: Code: <div style="position:fixed; margin-left: -180px; top: 75px;"> // My html content for mini You Tube video & button is here </div> The problem is that if a person has a low resolution monitor, this left hand div is out of view and never seen.....or even worse, it's partially seen and not fully displayed because it's hiding outside the bounds of the window. My goal: To have it fixed to either the outer LEFT or RIGHT side of the webpage, just along the edge of the mainWrapper as you see it now. If I can clear anything up as to what I'm trying to explain, please let me know. I hope one of you awesome gurus can point me in the right direction! Hi, I have a content box inside a layer in Dreamweaver and I want to be able to align this content box to the right hand side of the layer, rather than on the left side. Is it possible to do this? Here is the code: Code:

if you didnt understand the subject i'll try and explain it a bit better here! This is my problem in IE my page looks like this http://www.readyflowers.com.au/div-fill.gif But what i want is when there is no content for those divs not to appear so it would look like this (In firefox it works!) http://www.readyflowers.com.au/div-fill-firefox.gif i have a base page that i use for a multi-page site, but i'd like to be able to insert more and more content, and have the page size accordingly. i think the problem is that the content is technically floating...or something, it's a cold fusion search result in a cart. i don't know, i might be asking for a miracle here- if you have an idea, let me know. CSS newb here and this is my first full CSS page layout ever, so go easy. Some of the page elements do not stretch properly to match the page content. I also tried to add a few bits to make a sticky footer, and in doing so I sort of confused myself as to where the problem is. Here's a link to the page: http://www.crackin.com/cbled/index.html and here's the code: Code:

Any help is much appreciated. I actually have two problems... Installing hte firebug plugin for firefox may ease helping me out... The problem is with http:// kthxbai2u<dot>com I cant for the life of me center the "content" div. I have tried every method I found on the first 4 pages of Google. The only thing I can think of is that it is inheriting something wierd or I am missing something simple... The second problem, I can't seem to make the left and right side bar expand to meet up with the footer wayy down at the bottom of the page. I want that div to make a column the whole way down. If anyone can help me out, it would be more than appreciated! Thanks Hello everyone! my apologies if this is a dumb/old question - I did a search but didn't find anything like this... Question is, how can I make a page within an Iframe inherit the parent pages css? Reason is, I have a site with a css switcher (using php - a copy and paste job, still learning!) that uses iframes. Or would I be better ditching the iframes and using hidable DIV's? cheers guys! I can't figure out for a life of me why is out of two identical code only one of them plays nice with IE9. I'm a noob in coding CSS/HTML so any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated. Here is the two code as follows: Working in IE9: .boxed { border: 1px solid; border-bottom-color:#a5a5a5; border-right-color:#e1e1e1; border-top-color:#e1e1e1; border-left-color:#e1e1e1; background-color: #F2F2F2; padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px; -moz-border-radius: 9px; -webkit-border-radius: 9px; -khtml-border-radius: 9px; border-radius: 9px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px -6px #000; box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px -6px #000; } Not working in IE9: .text-box{ border: 1px solid #ebebeb; background-color: #f5f5f5; /* filter:alpha(opacity=90); */ -moz-border-radius: 9px; -webkit-border-radius: 9px; -khtml-border-radius: 9px; border-radius: 9px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px -6px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px -6px #000; box-shadow: 0px 8px 6px -6px #000; font-size: 12px; padding: 19px 9px 19px 12px; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } This is based directly off of Eric Mayer's pure css popups. I know he states in his img tutorial "...considering that even if we used the display: none/display: block trick in the SPAN-popup demo, Explorer has trouble.", but the fact I have it working flawlessly for the first piece of code gives me hope. Of note -- for better or worse, I intentionally put IE6 in quirks mode with <?xml version="1.0"?> right before my doctype. I know it's not the best idea in the world, but it means my code works completely as intended for IE5/5.5/6, and all other browsers I've been able to test (firefix/opera -- windows). Code: HTML: <li><a href="#">F. A. Q.<span>We understand there's going to be some questions -- check here and you might find some answers or how-to's.</span></a></li> <li><a href="#">Help Desk<span>Couldn't find an answer to your question? Find a non-serious glitch or bug? Feel free to head to our support desk and create a ticket. We'll be in touch with you promptly about your question or concern.</span></a></li> <!-- Repeat, roughly 10 links, some of which are in submenus - all work as expected --> Code: CSS:
#mainMenu li a span { display: none; }
#mainMenu li a:hover span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 152px;
right: 32%;
} /* For posting I removed the formatting tags like border, padding etc */
That works as expected. Upon rolling over the link, the span is displayed, positioned absolutely elsewhere on the page. On rollout, it hides again. However, when I cut and paste that CSS and change only the anchor i'm referencing: Code: HTML: <td> <a href="#" class="date"> 08/06/06<span>August 6th, 2006 -- 8:09am</span> </a> </td> <!-- I have roughly 20 cells identical to that, but with different dates. Yes, there's good reason for using tables :p --> Code: CSS:
a.date span { display: none; }
a.date:hover span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
a.date:hover { color: red; }
/* Again, I removed formatting */
It works as expected in everything except IE. I thought this is because IE doesn't like the fact i'm adding a class to the anchor... a.date:hover span ... but even when I remove the .date a:hover works and a:hover span doesn't. What's going on? Thanks in advance, Brett 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. 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 --------------------------------------------------------------- Original post --------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Ken http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/?m=200712 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! Has anyone got any advice/experience on how to manage the css issues related to a site with upwards of 7, 000 pages. The client wants to have at least 60% of the total pages in the site to be bespoke in terms of design and layout and obviously this will create some very big challenges in terms of planning and implementing the css. The reason why they want so many bespoke pages is because a site with that many pages would make for a very boring user experience if there was just one design and layout site wide. Any suggestions or advice would be great Cheers Hi, I suck at css and I cannot figure anything out with it. I hate it but I am stuck using it. Can someone help me widen all the pages on my website with css? Thanks, Gibs Code:

I made a form that I wanted to print. It is a page with a table with most of it formated with CSS. When I print however all that shows is the text, nothing that is defined with CSS is acknowledge, not the font-family, table borders, etc. I tried it with Safari and Firefox, both look the same. What is the deal? I am contemplating trying to learn CSS and redesign my home page, from tables to CSS. I basically have my index page, with a header image at the top (image map), a left menu, a right menu, and the area in the middle is where the content is displayed. Would I use one CSS file for this, or one for each page? Sorry for the stupid question, I am completely new to the use of CSS. I would imagine I just use one and load the file in on my main page, and use it through out all the pages that I load into the content area, but im not sure. www.NightmareMotorSports.com |
