CSS - Border Trouble
I'm totally new to css (just started yesterday) and I'm trying to build a page out of div tags so that the borders of the content (which will be in a block at the center of the page) are images (dropshadows).
ag_portfolio.css: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ /* general page properties */ body { background-color:#CCC; } div.main_container /* main container of all content */ { width:861px; margin-left: auto ; margin-right: auto ; background-color:#FFF; } /* end general page properties */ /* borders */ /*top left corner*/ div.top_left { background-image:url(images/top_left.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:31px; height:31px; position:relative; float:left; } /*top*/ div.top { background-image:url(images/top.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:800px; position:relative; float:left; } /*top right corner*/ div.top_right { background-image:url(images/top_right.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:30px; height:31px; position:relative; float:right; } /*right*/ div.right { background-image:url(images/right.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:38px; position:relative; float:right; } /*bottom right corner*/ div.bottom_right { background-image:url(images/bottom_right.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:31px; height:31px; position:relative; float:right; } /*bottom*/ div.bottom { background-image:url(images/bottom.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; height:31px; position:relative; } /*bottom left corner*/ div.bottom_left { background-image:url(images/bottom_left.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:30px; height:31px; position:relative; float:left; } /*left*/ div.left { background-image:url(images/left.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:38px; position:relative; float:left; } /* end borders */ /* header contents */ div.banner { background-image:url(images/banner.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; position:relative; background-position:center; width:785px; height:200px; float:left; z-index:1; } div.button { } /* div.button2 { } div.button3 { } div.button4 { } */ /* end header contents */ /* main contents */ div.header1 { position:relative; left:20px; background-color:#FFF; font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size:300%; /* larger font */ color:#000; } div.content { position:relative; left:20px; background-color:#FFF; font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size:100%; color:#000; } /* links */ a:link {color:#666} a:visited {color:#A5B49A} a:active {color:#333} a:hover {color:#000} /* end links */ div.footer1 { text-align:center; background-color:#FFF; font-family:"Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size:100%; color:#000; } /* end main contents */ test.html: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>css test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ag_portfolio.css" /> <!--link to style sheet--> <style type="text/css"> <!--specific style--> </style> </head> <body> <div class="main_container" height=600> <div><!--top border--> <div class="top_left"> </div> <div class="top"> </div> <div class="top_right"> </div> </div><!--top border--> <div><!--banner--> <div class="left" height="183px"> </div> <div class="banner"> </div> <div class="right" height="183px"> </div> </div><!--banner--> </div> </body> </html> For some reason the div tags are all over the place.

Similar TutorialsCode: <div class="message"> <table> <tr> <td>Hello World</td> </tr> </table> </div> Code: div.message { border: 1px solid #000000; } For some reason that does not produce a border around the div. Is there a reason why not? Hey I have a dashed border to the right of my menu, i was wondering how i can make it reach the bottom of my page, without having to fill up all the content example of what it looks like: Navigation | | link | link | link | Example of what i want it to look like Navigation | | link | link | link | | | | | | bottom of page. This is the Css code: DIV#sidebar { LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 12em; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: black 1px dashed; } Internet Explorer improperly renders my drop-down menu. The parent list's borders bleed over into the child list, covering its borders and a few pixels of the child list's LIs. The drop-down employs ALA's method for circumventing IE's problems with the :hover psuedoclass. I've tried to resolve this using z-indeces and haven't found anything. I've posted to the CSS mailing list but haven't received a response. I can't determine if this is a bug referenced on positioniseverything.net. I really would appreciate any advice anyone could give me. The HTML file is XHTML 1.0 strict. The CSS file, when run through the validator, produces one erroneous line--this one--but this is essential for proper rendering in Mozilla, and I'm really not certain why it's invalid. Well enough jabber--here are the relevant files: HTML: http://64.232.240.200/remax/index.html CSS: http://64.232.240.200/remax/remax.css javascript: http://64.232.240.200/remax/drop_down.js Any suggestions not pertaining to my problems are also welcome--I'm very interested in making the CSS file in particular as lean as possible. Thanks much! I've been working on getting a nice look to fit the body of my content in, but I'm having a little difficulty. Based on some tutorials and things I have read, it seems many people do this technique by applying background images to various tags. I know it has a set width. However, the height may vary depending on how long the body copy is, which is where the problem arises. I have it broken into three images (top, bottom, left_right) It seems to display properly in IE7. However, in Firefox, the top and bottom images do not connect with the left_right image. I've tried setting margins and padding for top/bottom to 0 as I thought that may be the issue, but it didn't fix it. Can view files at: http://www.russellholloway.com/beta/test.html http://www.russellholloway.com/beta/main.css I'm pretty new to working with CSS, so if there are any other errors that may arise from the way I have coded this, please let me know. I intend to position the whole content-wrapper div in a floating layout for the site. Essentially there will be menus / such to the left, logo / stuff above, and this body content area will be in the remaining space. CSS copied below: css Code: Original - css Code .content-wrapper { padding: 0; margin: 0px; position:relative; } .content-wrapper .footer { width: 710px; background:url(content_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom; padding: 0; margin: 0px; position:relative; min-height: 34px; } .content-wrapper .heading { margin: 0; background-image: url(content_top.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 710px; padding: 0px; height: 35px; position:relative; } .content-wrapper .heading h3 { position: relative; top: 20px; left: 20px; } .body { background-image: url(content_lr.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; width: 670px; position:relative; margin: 0px; } .content-wrapper { Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers...

It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: 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> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px} TD {border: 1px solid #ccc} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code: .results { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ; } Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! How do you create an inner border around a table in css, rather than a "solid" border which creates a border line around the table on the outer half. The border needs to butt up against an image, rather than leaving a pixel space. This is the coder I have so far. Nothing big: Code: .solid { border: solid 1px #000000; } Thanks. This is my css file : BODY { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #89A1BD; } TH{ font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #3D3D3D; } A:active { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #00000; text-decoration: none; } A:hover { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline overline; } A:link { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } A:visited { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; text-decoration:none; } #poll{ ;border-style : solid ;border-color : #004f9d ;border-width : 2px} #poll tr td dt{font-family: Small Fonts;font-style : normal ;font-size : 7pt; font-weight :bold } select, input, textarea { font: 10px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #3D3D3D; } .pn-top {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-title {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-title:link { color:#FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION:none} .pn-title:active { color:#FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 11px;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION:none} .pn-title:hover { color:#0000FF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-title:visited { color:#CC0000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-link {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #0000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-link:link { color:#000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION:none} .pn-link:active { color:#FFFFFF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: none} .pn-link:hover { color:#0000FF; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION: underline overline} .pn-link:visited { color:#000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif;TEXT-DECORATION:none} .date {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none} body { SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #B7C6E5; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #D3DCEF; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #738FCC; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #E9EEF8; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #E5EBF4; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #4870AA; ; background-color: D8E0E9 } FONT { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #0000000; } TD { font: 11px geneva, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #3D3D3D; ; top: 20pt; clip: rect( )} And my text is just normal black en when i go over it , it will turn blue it always works perfect if theres no link specified ex. when "href" is empty then it works but if its links.html and that page exitst then it stays black when i go over it , i've tried much changes in my css sheet but it doensn't seems to work OK, I thought I was so smart. Working on a site that is 100% CSS AND Priority 3 WAI compliant, and thought I had it - it looked good on PC IE, Mozilla and Safari...only to be shot down by Mac IE 5.5, which I know is a bit of a black sheep in terms of CSS. Can those of you with knowledge of such things take a look at: http://www.getbrightstar.com/v2/ And let me know why Mac IE 5.5 wouldn't float the columns correctly? The tricky part is that *I* don't have a mac and can't find an IE 5.5 emulator online like safari, but my client DOES have one and she uses IE 5.5, so it would be best if I could get it right the first time...I don't want to use my client for compatibility testing. Thanks, -Daniel Hi, I am using blueBox class that makes a border. code: Code: <div class="blueBox" <table bgcolor="#FF3300"><tr><td> <div id="my_title" style="position: relative; width: 200px; height: 20px;" ></div> </td></tr> <tr><td>... My problem is that <div id="my_title" is causing right border of <div class="blueBox" disappear. When I change <div id="my_title" style="position: relative; to <div id="my_title" style="position: absolute; border is right where it should be. I do not want to use absolute positioning. What can I do about it? What is the problem? I can see that red background of the <table bgcolor="#FF3300"> does not even reach half of <div class="blueBox" Something is obviously pushing or covering right border of <div class="blueBox" hi, i was wondering if it is possible to assign images for each border. something like border-top:5px dotted black; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); border-left:1px solid red; background-image:url(verBrdr.gif); border-right: 2px groove green; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); border-bottom:3px dotted #3399CC ; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif); vertical-align:middle; padding:1em;} of course this doesn't work. thanks for the help... Hey on my website: http://www.chamillionairechat.com I want there to be a border around the mainmenu and to look something like this: And this is the css i'm using for the mainmenu: Code: .mainmenu { background-color:#FFFFFF; padding-bottom:5px; border:1px border-color:#21511F; } So does anyone know what i'm doing wrong Thanks Hi all currently trying to move away from a table based layout into a cleaner looking css layout with a problem. http://www.prxa.info/area51/viewtopic.php?tid=1 The top section is the css version, where as the bit below it is using tables. I am trying to get the "container" class to encompass the whole top bit which i am doing, but the border of it refuses to appear? This is the css bits html: Code: <div class="container"> <div class="topicoptions"> <div style="float: left; width: 17%"> <a href="viewtopic.php?tid={$post['topic_id']}" class="topicoptions">#{$this->post_count}</a> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 83%; text-align: right;"> {$this->mod_options} {$topic_options} </div> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 17%"> <div class="contentbox"> <div align="center"> {$avatar} {$lang['postedby']} {$profile_link} <br /> {$post_count}<br /> {$lang['postedon']}: {$date_time} </div><br /> </div> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 83%; text-align: left;;"> <div class="contentbox1"> {$post['text']} <br /> <br /> {$signature_finish} {$edited} </div> </div> </div> As you can see "container" covers all of it, and the css is simply a 1px border, i cannot see where i am going wrong. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I want to get rid of the right border on the last link but keep the borders on the rest of the <li>'s. I'm totally stuck. Thanks, Brad CSS: Code: #navcontainer ul { padding-left: 40px; margin-left: 0; background-color: #000000; color: #000000; float: left; width: 100%; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } #navcontainer ul li { display: inline; } #navcontainer ul li a { padding: 0.2em 1em; background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; float: left; border-right: 1px solid #fff; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { background-color: #369; color: #fff; } li.LastOne a.ALastOne { color: red; } HTML: Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <!--<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Item one</a></li>--> <li><a href="#">Seminars</a></li> <li><a href="#">Stand-Up</a></li> <li><a href="#">Intro Psych</a></li> <li><a href="#">Selected Transcripts</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadcast Archives</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pricing & Inquiries</a></li> <li class="LastOne"><a class="ALastOne" href="#">Links</a></li> </ul> </div> Hi, I am trying to box around a text, but what happen is that when I setting up borders for it, it shows the box expand longer than the text. Is there a way to have the box just as big as the text (Well, slightly bigger, but just enough for the text)? I thought border-collapse:collapse would do it, but apperantly not. This is the CSS code I am using: PHP Code: div.submenu1 { position: relative; left: 22px; padding: 4px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px 1px 1px 1px; border-color: #0000FF; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #3399FF } And on the html it's: PHP Code: <div class='submenu1'> <a href='somelink' class='submenu1'>somelink</a> </div> how to create the free products heading over the border... with the border cut for tht part of the box ??? OK, so I have a grid from a table. I have it so each td has a boarder on the top and left side - the td to the right/down of that is supposed to make up the boarder of the bottom and right hand side of the first td. However... there is a 1 pixel gap where they don't connect... obviously because this space is reserved for a boarder that originally would be there. Is there any way to get rid of this gap? Thank you. |
