CSS - Content Dependendant Specific Dimensions
The title might seem like an oxymoron, but here follows what I want to do, for a navbar I am making, where the links are divided into categories, each with their own header div, I do not want those header divs to be visible unless there is any content (text) in them, but at the same time, if there is content in them, I want them to take specific dimensions.
Is there a way to achieve this? That is, either do not appear at all, but if it is to appear, it is to be a certain specified height and width. The min- and max width/-height's do not do the trick here, however I suspect I am far from the first to want to do this so there ought to be a hack or solution of some sort. Maybe I should add that it is only the height that is an issue here really. I want it to be 19px lest not appear at all. Similar TutorialsHi, I have a weird litlle problem here... I have embedded a forum (invision) in my website. This forum uses a stylesheet for all its settings (duh). I can choose if I want to use it inline or external. Offcourse, my site also has its own stylesheet to work with. Because the forum code is on a <div > in my site, the css from the forum messes up my site. Is it possible to get the forum stylesheet to be only applicable inside the layer that it's on? Inline or linked? I tried using an iframe instead of a div, but that gives a heap of other trouble (especially cookie-related) so that's not an option... im now omitting dimensions on some floating images and use easy clearing stuff on it...it seems to work but is this bad? or maybe theres better ways or something hi, i was studying how to make layouts in css and was recommended to read this website http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/basic4.html I learned a new thing from this, to use TOP, LEFT and RIGHT, for side bars. I used to use clear:both and float:left to make similar layout before. anyway, i was facing a problem with one of my recent practice work where the same padding, height, margin shows different height of the div. Even this website has this problem. If you open the same in FF and IE together and see both closely you will see the difference height and width of divs, especially left. In FF it is more than IE. how can we overcome this problem? because I checked skype.com in FF and IE at the same time and had a close look, but there is NO difference between div height or width, it means it is doable. Any wise words are much appreciated. Media Example of the site BEFORE-HAND using Tables when viewed at 1280x1024. [Content Table Boxes Adjustable By Window Size] Image File HERE Since this archived picture version the following major changes have occured : -- Removal of Tables in Favor of full CSS/DIV -- Removal of PNG borders in favor of JavaScript/CSS Ones (Custom Coded) -- Additional box beside the main content box. -- W3C XHTML 1.1 Validatable. Site Package (Includes CSS, HTML and JScripts) Site Package HERE Issues Firefox * Content overFlows for content when window is resized too small. * Table width's are ignored (example : tIcon is set for width:32px yet expands/contracts) * <br /> tag induces too much space (adjusting line-height is a sloppy fix + causes IE to bug) IE 6 * Float bugs exist when window is resized too small. & MANY insane bugs insue as a result of the float bugs shifting content. * Main Box does not assume full 100% available space when no content is present Both * Header Content + Background Dissapears when horizontal scrollbars are used * Alternate DIV ONLY fix needed for grid layout (instead of the table I slid in) * Less absolute position approachs needed. (complicates strecthable atmosphere slightly) * Float should be replaced with display:inline (if possible -- I can't figure out how.) Comments I've tried almost everything I can think of to fix these and I am quite new to CSS/DIV structured sites. I would VERY MUCH appreciate any help that can be offered. At the moment, my target browsers are IE6 and Firefox. My layout is not liquid. everything is fixed position. If the veiwer adjusts his text size in his browser then part of the content text in the div's will be pushed out of sight because {overflow:hidden;} has me covered. How do I get the content in the div to become scrollable in this case? I don't know if it's possible but I don't really want to have scroll bars on my div's UNLESS the user adjusts text size and forces it to happen. Can this be done and if so any Ideas on how to do it? Hi guys. Straight to pictures: Fig. 1: Differences in rendering between Standards compliant browsers and Internet Explorer. Link for html page is www.sential.co.uk/releases.html (this is my example page, but it's the same problem with all pages.) Now, apart from the fact they're different colors (which is a little strange), the positioning of the border images in IE is different than Safari/Firefox. I've tried playing with the code and positioning over and over with no luck. If I change one to look right, basically, the other ends up looking wrong. I have 4 corner images and 4 repeating borders. They're all positioned using css in my style sheet, in the format of, basically: Code: .corner_topleft{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
...
}
and so on in that respect for the 4 corners and: Code: .border_left{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
background-repeat: x;
...
}
etc. for the borders. I have specified all the heights of the images. Now the problems in the pictures a #1: the left and right borders don't repeat down, #2: the right edge border+corners seem to be out 17px (the width of the border). Although don't think you can simply specify the right border to be inwards 17px because if you do that, in Safari/Firefox, the background blue color overflows 17px outwards (because it's currently underneath that right border. Although, apparently not in IE.) If any of you guys can offer any help, suggestions, or maybe even a fix, that would be awesome and very appreciated. Regards, -Luke (: Hi all, After being away from the forums for some while I picked up the "webdesign-bug" again (it's raining during my summer holidays) but I'm having some troubles catching up with all new techniques/syntaxes at the moment. I did have a look at some tutorial sites and searched the forum for similar problems but somehow it's a bit overwhelming and I didn't find the solution I'm looking for yet. I do hope I didn't overlook something very basic or ask a frequently asked question (sorry then ) The goal I'm trying to make a (css-based) site with a central column with all 'normal' data. Below this central column I'd like to place some additional layers which are (partly) hidden underneath the main layer and which show themselves if you move with your mouse over the visible parts. The idea behind it is to create some 'desktop' where you have all kinds of things laying on eachother (like additional pieces of paper, some photographs, some money, ...). As an extra feature there would be another layer which makes sure there's a shadow from the 'main column' on the items below it. (Hope this is clear?) What I did so far To achieve this I thought I'd use different layers with different z-indexes and position them over and underneath eachother. So far I have the following code: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Test Layers</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function show( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex += 10; } function hide( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex -= 10; } </script> </head> <body> <!-- CONTAINER --> <div id="container"> <h2 class="title">Quick Links</h2> <!-- SUBCONTENT --> <div class="subcontent1" id="subcontent1" onMouseOver="show('subcontent1');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent1');"> Subtext1<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <div class="subcontent2" id="subcontent2" onMouseOver="show('subcontent2');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent2');"> Subtext2<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <!-- CONTENT --> <div class="content_shadow"> <div class="content"> <h1 class="title">Site Title</h1> <div class="content_white"> <h2 class="title">Content Title</h2> Maintext1 </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> css Code: Original - css Code * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: orange; } h1.title { display: none; } h2.title { display: none; } /******************************************************************** * CONTAINER ********************************************************************/ #container { border: solid 1px black; margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; z-index: 1; /* background-color: lightgray;*/ /* filter: alpha(opacity=50);*/ } /******************************************************************** * SUB CONTENT ********************************************************************/ /* http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530301.aspx http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/prop_style_clear.asp http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/css/layout-techniques/ */ #container .subcontent1 { background-color: lime; float: left; position: relative; top: 100px; width: 400px; z-index: 2; /* display: inline;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ /* left: 0px;*/ } #container .subcontent2 { background-color: lime; display: block; float: right; position: relative; top: 200px; width: 400px; z-index: 3; /* display: block;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ } /******************************************************************** * MAIN CONTENT ********************************************************************/ #container .content_shadow { background-color: gray; display: block; margin: 0 auto; opacity: .75; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 850px; z-index: 8; } #container .content { clear: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; z-index: 9; } #container .content_white { background-color: white; display: block; height: 800px; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }

The problem(s) Besides the (css)code probably being sloppy (and redundant at points?!?) since I experimented a lot with adding and removing of position-tags, floating-tags, etc etc.. it still fails to do what I'm aiming for. As can be seen on the attached screenshot most of it seems to be working (at least in FF2) (I had my mouse over the 2nd subcontent-layer btw) but the maintext1 won't start at the left of it's layer but instead starts on a x-coordinate where the 1st subcontent-layer finishes Can somebody point me to what I'm doing wrong? Also, if somebody has a relevant tutorial I'd appreciate it as well since I obviously need some extra exercise with this stuff (working on it already btw but you never know if there's another good one) Thanks for any help and if something isn't clear I'll try to explain it further! Hi, Im interested in finding an app to create the layouts of my web in a visual way, you know creating the divs with the mouse dragging and droping the corners and the laterals of the divs. I have found Kompozer, but the position, the margins, etc, of the divs that you dimension, go directly to the HTML code (inline styles). Do you know any visual css editor that writes the dimensions, margins and position of the divs in a .css file? Ciao 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! Hey guys, I am taking a computer science class at the moment and haven't received much direction on what to do. I had to design an HTML website from scratch which wasn't hard but now I have to incorporate CSS into the website using an external stylesheet to edit the entire website. I need to recreate these things and am wondering what I should be doing, any help is extremely appreciated. It's a mock-business type website. Here I have to have the picture on the left, a vertical line, and a paragraph on the other side, all within a border. s1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee361/millihax/?action=view¤t=staff-outline.gif And here I have to make a table that looks exactly like this but without the "colour" column. s1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee361/millihax/?action=view¤t=staff-outline.gif#!oZZ1QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1224.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee361%2Fmillihax%2F%3Facti on%3Dview%26current%3Dtable-outline.gif Again, anything anyone can do for me is greatly appreciated as I am completely lost with this section of the assignment. I just realized tonight that CSS I have been using with my XHTML 1.1 documents does NOT work with HTML 4 documents. Is this common? I never knew there was a difference in CSS functionality between doctypes. Hi, I'm trying to create a CSS for a specific table, not all tables, the following code uses the code I need: PHP Code: table { border-collapse:collapse; } table, th, td { border: 1px solid grey; padding:15px; } How can assign/rename this to say mytable, if I change the top 'table' to .mytable still all tables on my page are changed Thanks for any help. Sanj Hi, I need to make colored boxes a specific height. Also, the box must stretch to fit the text within it. The text will be updated when a user clicks different nav buttons. Here's my code:: Code: .category{
background-color:#8CC63F;
color:#000000;
font size:21pt;
height:36px;
}
the problem is that the box isn't 36 pixels tall. you can see my example he link Look at the box with the text description, and the box that says "cam tu dao". Any ideas. I've been trying everything I could think of. thanks Hello Gents, I am trying to get ride of the white space above the menu and above the big sliding banner...Any pointers would be great. getyoursongsmixed.com/wordpress is my site You guys rock thanks This is a bit puzzling for me. I read that I can apply css to something based on id, which I have been doing, thats how my template is made, USING CSS :S. I need to apply css to an H2 that already has css applied to it but has a different id. Here is the page I need to do it to, view it and see why I need to. http://www.coldfusionzone.com/index.php?p=7 Look down towards where the comments are and youll see Leave a comment I need to change that to where it expands up to 40 pixels from the side, and has a black background without the stinkin date pic next to is . Now that Im talking about it im confused again. Ha ha I had it down pat but now that I need help im confused thats strange. But I need to apply a css style to it when it already has a css it.... Here the css style that controls it is on top and the css style im trying to use is on the bottom. PHP Code: div#content h2 { background: #000 url(images/date.jpg) no-repeat left center; background-color: #232323; color: #5F5F5F; padding: 2px 15px 2px 85px; border: 1px solid #494949; margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 220px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0; font-size: 95%; font-weight: normal; } div#content#postcomment h2 { background: #000; background-color: #000000; color: #5F5F5F; padding: 2px 15px 2px 85px; border: 1px solid #494949; margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 220px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0; font-size: 95%; font-weight: normal; } For example lets say I have this line of code and I want to select the userid in order to style a particular user on a site/forum. <div class='username'>Test <span class='userid'>(223647)</span></div> How do I go about selecting the 223647 ID so I can assign it a specific style? Thank you in advance for any help. If I want to have all of my <td> flags to look a certain way within a <div> tag but not anywhere else how do I define the style to do this? |
