CSS - Ie Lowers Content Away From Page

Hello all

I have a page that uses css for the layout. The issue that I can not figure out how to fix is when someone re-sizes their browser the page content is all resized. How would I lock th positions of each span on the page so even if they resize (smaller) the browser the span's will stay where they are when the page is fully maximized on the users screen?

I hope it is clear what I am asking. I tried puttin like a float tag but that does not work at all.

Thanks all
Jason

Hi all,
this is my first post and hope I get help in a hear-tearing problem that I face at this link: (URL address blocked : See forum rules)

ie show the complete page fine but firefox obscure the bottom content, no need for more explanation since it is obvious from looking at the page, I have the same problem when page content get much long as in the above link.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
sorry for my bad english

Hello - I'm having trouble with the layout of a site I'm working on. Here's the site in question:

http://www.americanidiotsband.com/

If you look at it in anything up to 1024x768, it's fine. But if you go higher than that (say, 1280x1024 resolution), then the main (black) part of the page goes only as far down as the content that is filling it. What SHOULD happen is that the black background should span all the way to the bottom, no matter how much content is inside it...

Here is a link to the stylesheet that I made up:

http://www.americanidiotsband.com/styles.css

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and I'm hoping that someone could help me correct this. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!...

hi,

I am fairly new to css and working on a website with a complete css layout for the first time, one I got from dreamweaver. I thought things were going great because I did all my testing in Firefox (like a good boy) but then I tried to test it in Internet Explorer 6 and alot if not all of my webpages have the text positioned at the bottom instead of the top of a page.

ANY IDEAS????

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.

Bear with me please. I am brand new to html/CSS etc...

I just cobbled together a page a few days ago using someone elses code as a reference, I hardly know what I did or how it works, but it works just like I want it to - Background centered and stationary (no scrolling with content), but the content does scroll, with NO horizontal scroll bar.

You can view it he bit(dot)ly/rbsZsH - THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY OTHER PAGE TO DO

Ok, so feeling smug, I tried to do another one like it, without the sidebar/header, etc... For the most part it works, EXCEPT - I have an unexpected horizontal scroll bar that goes about 50% across the browser and allows the user to pull the content off-center across the background. I have nearly pulled my hair out trying to fix it and put a hidden message under the content just for fun.. (make lemonade when you get lemons, right?)

You can view second page he bit(dot)ly/qMbYl2 - THIS IS THE GOOFY PAGE

The only real clue I have is that the first page is set to 780px wide and has this comment in the container div: /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */

My second page container div is set to 802px because I am using an image from Photoshop rather than a background color.

Thank you if any of you can shed light on the situation.

P.S. - I'm sure I've totally butchered the code, and you can assume when you answer that I can cut and paste but not really understand what you are saying.

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!

Hi all,
I have written a page with jsp and ajax to dynamically load page contents. I also added a hidden "processing.." message image with the following code:

Code:

<img src="<%=IMAGE_BASE_URL%>/processing-img.gif" id="processing" style="display:none;z-index:2;position:relative;top:250;right:-250">
 

this img tag was placed right after the <body> tag.

When the user clicks on a link, I turned this css property to display:block so that it shows in the middle of the page. But strangely, when it is showing the processing message image, the entire page content after the <img> tag was shifted down a bit and showing an empty row!

Does anybody know what's wrong with it? I've tried to change the display to inline using javascript but it still won't help...


Any help would be appreciated..thanks..

Hi, I'm working on a website for a church and we're near completion, but I'm having trouble getting the site to display properly in IE7 on Windows XP and a few other browsers according to browsershots.org. CSS and XHTML both validate at w3c.org. I've ripped this thing apart and put it back together with no luck. The really weird thing is the Home page looks fine, but in the rest of the pages the body content gets pushed below the left and right navigation bars. Is it a CSS float problem? Margins or paddings???

Home page: Looks OK in IE7, at least on my machine - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/index_temp.php
Ministry page: Content is pushed to bottom of page - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/mini...ns_ministry.php

The CSS files are at http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/main.css and http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/common.css.

Would anyone be willing to take a look? Thanks in advance.

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.
