CSS - Static And Dynamic Part Of A Page Using Css?
Dear All,
I have a question - Background : I used the E-book "designing without tables" and created a page with 2 columns. A 200 px column on the left for the links and the rest on the right for the data. There is also a header column on the top with has main menu. Question 1 : If there are 5 links on the left column, how can I link the pages such that when I click on a link on the left column..only the right column should refresh. Meaning, I want the left column to be static with the links and only the right column should be refreshed? Is it possible to do so using only CSS and HTML ? Thanks in advance. Regards. Similar TutorialsHi there, I have an HTML/CSS design I'm working on, that can be accessed he http://www.design-portal.co.uk/demo/ The CSS can be found he http://www.design-portal.co.uk/demo/style.css Basically what I would like is this: I want another static area that always appears at the bottom of the page underneath the main content text. As I've fixed the big box thing's height (it's going to appear the same height on every page) I want the user to be able to scroll to the next page if the text is too long to fit on the one page. I've created a screenshot as an example: http://www.design-portal.co.uk/demo/images/demo.jpg As you can see, the text at the bottom allows the user to scroll forwards and backwards. I can do this, but it never appears at the bottom; always just underneath the text above it depending on how much text is in the place. How can I just get the damn thing to stay at the bottom regardless of how much content is above it? Cheers in advance, Dave Hi All, I have my site that uses CSS, however at times I want certain parts of it to not use the CSS. Not whole pages, just a section of a page. Is there anyway to remove all CSS formating in a section? So eg: <div style='none'> Some HTML </div> TIA Charlie www.devwebsites.com There is a little strip of lightened color on that part and I don't think its from the images at least..I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. Thanks Hi, i have a styling problem. The page looks well in normal view in IE and firefox but when you zoom in the page (Ctrl++) the menu bar part of the page gets displaced from its position (right and left corner). your help and guidance wil be much appreciated. The page is at dev.cddimensions. com . Plz try to zoom in and notice the menu bar. 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.

I am an art student, and I'm trying to construct my own portfolio site. I am, however, new to CSS, so I dont really know what I'm doing. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I'm using a fixed 2 column template, with header and footer, and the left column as the side bar. Within the right column, I'm trying to make a scrollbar hovering near the top of the div, with clickable thumbnails of my work. Once the thumbnails are clicked on, a larger version of the image takes up the rest of the column. Does anyone have any idea how to accomplsh this? Even my web design teacher's stumped with this one. I thought about using frames, but thats html... So, I want it so that depending on how much content there is on my page, it will be longer or shorter, so I don't have to stick to a fixed height. Draft: I was thinking I need to use a code similar to this link. Would anyone care to help me out? I have an image gallery. Code for the whole thing I've set below.The main image display window is set w/ a fixed position w/ this CSS code: Quote: #jgal li img { position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 220px; display: none; } I want to use it on dynamic php pages that have constantly changing content. I cannot w/ the fixed position. I need it to float correctly to the right of the thumb sidebar images. I've set it into my .tpl pages & it works well w/ no apparant css conflicts. But the main window is still fixed while the thumbs show wherever I place their code. Any ideas how I can float it all as a unit? Thanks, Gene PLEASE HELP ME I have an inline css tester that I built w/ help from W3Schools.com's CSS examples. > http://www.easysavannah.com/pmdinlinecsslinks.html Maybe this will help someone here.

I have implemented a fixed header on my site, but certain content is scrolling above the header while other is scrolling behind. I would like it all to scroll behind the fixed div's. Hi, A simple question ... i'm sure i've done something like this before but can't remember how ... I centered a web page in the browser and used divs to hold the text and main content for the page - but when the page is viewed at different resolutions or left-side panels are opened (such as media player in IE) my div layers are not repositioning with the page ... I know this must be easy but it aint workin somehow ... thanks in advance ... I have a problem with my CSS. The intention was to get a static bar at the top of the page which stayed in place as the page was scrolled. That bit works fine. The problem is that the text in the main part of the page scrolls under the static bar. This means when you use any in page links ( to an anchor) the page scrolls so that the relevant part of the page is under the header div. Any ideas on how I can fix this ? The HTML is up at : http://www.benbun.co.uk/test/test.htm Any help would be appreciated. BBBS This problem has been sucking the life out of me for the last several hours. I'm developing a website with a CMS behind it. I have a page with a form on it that looks fine in FF, but seems to have an overflow problem in IE 6. But, what makes this even more strange is when I take the generated code and view it as a standalone HTML webpage with the same CSS behind it, it looks fine in IE! I'm reluctant to post the site of what will eventually be the live site because I don't want Google to find it, but like I said, I'm at the end of my rope! Here is the page of the site that does NOT work in IE (gets cut off right when the form is supposed to appear). http://westport.dreamhosters.com/modules/news/comment.php?id=4 And here is that page saved as a static HTML file with the same CSS file behind it: http://www.jimandkris.com/test/ In the static version, the form displays in its entirety in IE6. So, could someone confirm what I'm seeing? And even better, can anyone suggest anything? Hi, I have a header, body and footer. I need the body to bee 550px tall regardless of the content. Then, the footer will be below this. Here's the CSS for the maincontant: Code: ..oneColFixCtr #mainContent { position:absolute; padding: 0, 10px, 0, 10px;/* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */ overflow:auto; height:500px; width:768px; background-color:#FFFFFF; }{ How can I make the container 500 px tall no matter what the content is? As you can see he http://www.caillouette.com/SelvanSite3/BaselineFees.php The page changes height according to the content. I don't want this. I want the height to be static 500px. Thanks - Hello, I have a problem with a footer on a website I'm building. I want it to my down as text fills the space between the top blue thing, and the bottom blue thing, but as you can see, the text skip past the bottom. I want the bottom to be pushed down by the text. Here's the site And here's the css Hope you can help me with this. Hi. I have an image that I want to be a background in a webpage. What I want to do is have that background fill up the rest of the page but remain static on the page while the content scrolls (if need by, y'know, varies depending on the resolution of the users monitor). How can I accomplish this? A random thought popped into my head today about whether it matters if a site is fluid or static with regards to accessibility. Wherever possible I do try to design fluid sites but is there anything wrong with a static design if you then add an extra CSS file for handheld devices etc? I am not an expert on developing websites, but I've been able to get our site up and running without much challenge. I used a menu I found on www.dynamicdrive.com that allowed you to have our menu in a horizontal or verticle layout. We don't use frames in our site but we wanted a frames-type look. So we use the menu in the vertical layout. What I'd like to do is find a way to keep the menu on the screen as people scroll down. I've seen other websites do this and have looked at a couple that were recommended from a previous post, but I can't figure out how to make it work propertly. Our website is www.indyartistgroup.com. If someone could take a look at the site and suggest some ideas on how to make the menu on the left hand side stay on screen no matter how low you scroll I would appreciate it. I'm out of options at this point. Thanks for the help. John hello. i have a button that pops up to a floating div. this div gets applied html from a source called by ajax. in the html that is being called, i added <style></style> tags to embed specific css for that html. i do this because this html will be used globally across the site it works fine in every browser except safari. safari doesn't seem to render the css. any suggestions? First of all, i'd like to thank Arnica who helped me with the first part of this post (CSS to table HELP). This is what Arnica helped me with befo (left corner image)(<== top back ==>)(right corner image) where <== and ==> represent streching horizontally in both directions. Now, i need help once again. I'd like to have side border images that strech vertically and while the body background image streching in all directions, vert and hor. Here's what i mean: (^ left border v)(<== body back ==>)( ^ right border v) where ^ and v mean streching vertically and <== and ==> mean streching horizontally. this is what i came up with so far: Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <!--title bar--> <div style="margin: 0px; position: relative; float: left; width: auto; height: auto; "><img src="img_inside_article_title-bar_left.gif"></div> <div style="margin: 0px; position: relative; right: 6px; float: right; "><img src="img_inside_article_title-bar_right.gif"></div> <div style="margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px; height: 30px; width: auto; position: relative; left: -3px; background-image: url(tile_inside_article_titlebar_bak.gif); "> This is a test</div> <!--article--> <div style="position: relative; float: left; width: 10px; height: auto; background: url(images/layout/home_tech-images/tile_inside-window_left-border4.gif); " > </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 10px; float: right; right: 6px; background: url(images/layout/home_tech-images/tile_inside-window_right-border4.gif) right repeat-y; "> </div> <div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; height: 30px; width: auto; height: auto; position: relative; background: url(images/layout/home_tech-images/tile_back1.gif); "> This is a test<br>and again</div> </table> !!my appologies for the sloppy code, still learning!! In ie the above code works perfectly, the code under <!--article-->, where the borders strech in respect to the text in the center, but in firefox the sides strech for ever vertically!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! fz105 On two pages of my site: mileswright . com/?page_id=324 and mileswright . com/?page_id=331 it seems that part of the CSS file is being ignored. If you look at any of the other team members such as: mileswright . com/?page_id=334 you will see that the content div has padding being applied to it. In the first two pages though, the content div is being ignored. I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. If anyone can shed some light on it I would be very grateful! (I apologize for the links not working but since I am a new poster I can't post links, but I figure that it would be pretty worthless if I didn't give links.) |
