CSS - Tableless Design With Left Column Not First
A website generally has a header/footerand then a left column and main column. The left column contains links and the main column contains the content.
Years ago I saw a design that was validated and used CSS to achieve a tableless design that actually had the main column content BEFORE the left column links in the sourcecode, but on the site itself, it was like a normal site (left column was on the left and main content was on the right or center). Does this achieve better search engine results by having the main content first in the eyes of the search engines, but in reality, to the people, the left links actually shows up first. Also, can someone provide a link to this or show some coding on what you have seen done to achieve this? Similar TutorialsHi all, After using silktide.com to test my site's score, the report suggested that I remake the site using CSS to make it tableless. The site i am remaking is www.verdicts.co.uk So far ive remade the interface which you can see he www.verdicts.co.uk/verdicts_css Problem is, i have absolutely NO clue how i would go about making much more complex table replication using CSS. For example, the "popular review catagories" as seen on the www.verdicts.co.uk homepage. ...Or the product listing pages like this one: http://www.verdicts.co.uk/items/663/items.html or how about the reviews tables as seen he http://www.verdicts.co.uk/reviews/1140/1140.html What i am asking, is: Should i try and find a way to recreate these tables with CSS, or is the only way to do this, with *some* use of tables? Silktide.com's checker says make the site "tableless" - so i am guessing it's saying not to use a single table?! Thanks Mat. I've been designing web pages for 7 years now, using layout tables. I realize that it's time to let go with them now. Do you recommend any good book about this? I've red Ben Henick's article on Alistapart (http://alistapart.com/articles/12lessonsCSSandstandards). Do you know if he has written any books about the topic too? I am already used to tableless design but I have not yet solved the way to vertically center texts the way a cell of a table does by default. How do you solve this problem?. Obviously I look for a simple CSS style to manage this need. Thanks! hi guys I've begun trying so I finally can leave <tables> I've started trying with a little opensource template, and now want to be how much correct I am... The following image shows the original design, also with the layers division I've created I'd like to know if I'm going ok with this initial design, or which would you modify, and so on. Then I'll follow up the thread with the code, so I can see if I learned correctly Thanks a lot in advance, I'm trying to make a feedback form using CSS instead of tables. It works fine with a label and an input box. i.e. just 2 columns I come unstuck when I try to add an extra box on the right to make 3 columns. (<DIV ID="help">) I can't seem to align it correctly or size it correctly. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Test CSS Form</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- #FormInterest label,#FormInterest input { display: block; width: 150px; float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; } #FormInterest label { text-align: left; width: 200px; padding-right: 20px; } #FormInterest br { clear: left; } #FormInterest form { border : 1px solid #000; padding : 5px; background-color : #ffc; } #help{ width: 150px; float: right; border : 1px solid #000; padding : 5px; background-color : white; } --> </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P CLASS="smltxt"> > <B>Register your interest</B></P> <P>Please use the comments box to provide your views or to register an interest in being kept informed of developments.</P> <DIV ID="FormInterest"> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/genform.pl"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="form_owner" VALUE="test@test.co.uk"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="form_subject" VALUE="Interest Form"> <BR> <LABEL FOR="name">Name</LABEL> <INPUT NAME="name" ID="name"><BR> <LABEL FOR="company">Organisation</LABEL> <INPUT NAME="company" ID="company"><BR> <LABEL FOR="email">E-mail / Telephone</LABEL> <INPUT NAME="email" ID="email"><BR> <LABEL FOR="interest">Interest Area</LABEL> <SELECT NAME="interest" SIZE="1" ID="interest"> <OPTION VALUE="Communications">Communications</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Healthcare">Healthcare</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Electronics">Electronics</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Instrumentation">Instrumentation</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Sensing">Sensing</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Process control">Process control</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Defence">Defence</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Security">Security</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Energy">Energy</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Transport">Transport</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Other">Other</OPTION> </SELECT><BR> <LABEL FOR="companyinterest">Organisation Interest Area</LABEL> <SELECT NAME="companyinterest" SIZE="1" ID="companyinterest"> <OPTION VALUE="Communications">Communications</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Healthcare">Healthcare</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Electronics">Electronics</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Instrumentation">Instrumentation</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Sensing">Sensing</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Process control">Process control</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Defence">Defence</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Security">Security</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Energy">Energy</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Transport">Transport</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Other">Other</OPTION> </SELECT><BR> <H1>Objectives</H1> <LABEL FOR="outcome">What is the desired outcome? </LABEL> <TEXTAREA NAME="outcome" ROWS="6" COLS="42" ID="outcome"></TEXTAREA> <DIV ID="help"> In the Objectives box please identify your new requirements and what you would like as the outcome of the work, that is, what might be physically produced or what might be achieved. </DIV><BR> <H1>Impact</H1> <LABEL FOR="important">Why is it important?</LABEL> <TEXTAREA NAME="important" ROWS="6" COLS="42" ID="important"></TEXTAREA><BR> <LABEL FOR="benefit">What is the benefit to UK and who would benefit from this work?</LABEL> <TEXTAREA NAME="benefit" ROWS="6" COLS="42" ID="benefit"></TEXTAREA><BR> <LABEL FOR="collaborations">Collaboration Options</LABEL> <SELECT NAME="collaborations" SIZE="1" ID="collaborations"> <OPTION VALUE="Yes">Yes</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="No">No</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="Maybe">Maybe</OPTION> <OPTION VALUE="No Comment">No Comment</OPTION> </SELECT><BR> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit Interest" NAME="Submit1" ID="Submit1"> <INPUT TYPE="RESET" NAME="Reset1" VALUE="Clear Form" ID="Reset1"><BR> </FORM> </DIV> </BODY> </HTML> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center).

It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks.

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } Hi, hopefully you enjoyed the title, I had a good laugh thinking of it in that split second it took me to write it. So, I found a 3 column css layout on a CSS generator website, because I got sick of trying to hack up layouts I've made in the past that didn't work. Anyhow, it was working fine with one line of content in each column when I tested it out, however, once content in the middle column was added, and stretched vertically beyond a certain point, it will drag the left columns content down with it. The right column is not affected in any way. I have spent a few hours trying to look for reasons as to why it would happen, but I had no luck. I would appreciate any help... so thank you in advance if you take a stab at it.

Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. I'm converting a site from a table layout to a css layout. I've got a basic 3 column layout and it seems to work just fine except for one problem. my left and middle columns will never be set heights and they are different colors. So, is there anyway to make the two divs be the same height so that the colors go all the way down regardless of which column is longer? here are 2 examples, the first is the left column longer(teal) and the second is the middle column longer(white). first example left column longer second example middle column longer thx! Howdy. Disclaimer: I've been working on a redesign of my homepage, and I decided to go 100% CSS. I'm still learning CSS, so if this has a braindead easy solution, just laugh and point it out to me. The problem: Here is the design I have for my website (forgive the ascii art): Code: +------------------------------------------------------+ | Header | +--------------+---------------------------------------+ | Stuff Bar | Content : :Google | | | : : Ad | | Navigation | : : | | | : : | | Firefox | : : | | Info Box | : +.......| | | : | | Affiliates | : | | | : | +--------------+---------------------------------------+ | Footer | +------------------------------------------------------+ The Content has been artificially "width"ed to be no more than 400px wide. The Google Ad should float all the way to the right on a separate layer to keep out of the way on large monitors. Now, what I want to do is also float every IMAGE from the content all the way to the right on large monitors: Code: +------------------------------------------------------+ | Header | +--------------+---------------------------------------+ | Stuff Bar | Content : :Google | | | : : Ad | | Navigation | : : | | | : : | | Firefox | : : | | Info Box | : +.......| | | : | | Affiliates | : | | | : ------------------------ | | | : +---------------------+ | | | : | IMAGE from Content | | | | : +---------------------+ | | | : ------------------------ | | | : | | | : | +--------------+---------------------------------------+ | Footer | +------------------------------------------------------+ I havn't a clue how to do that correctly. I want the Content to wrap around the image callout. I'd appreciate the pointer. I've been wracking my brain without success over the following problem: I want to create a div block (which is included in other div blocks - but that doesn't really matter) that includes a list of links. However, I want to display the list of links in two columns, side by side. So far it's a piece of cake. But here is the tricky part: The links come from a database and therefore I do not know how many there are at any given time. How can I use CSS to seperate the list of links in two columns with each containing exactly half the links? I do want to keep the list of links as one chunk of HTML, without inserting 'class=""' or 'id=""' into the HTML. Any ideas?? Thanks Steve PS: I have one alternative: Count the number of links coming out of the database and enclose the first half in some sort of .leftColumn div and the rest in a .rightColumn div. But as I said, I want to avoid adding divs into the HTML that contains the links... Hi there, I have a left coloumn that is used for my navigation. However, I want it to go all the way down the page so it is the same height as my content div. I have tried the following, but it is not working. PHP Code: float: left; width: 200px; background-color: #070c12; padding: 15px; height: 100%; Any ideas? Thanks http://zeroonedesign.com/beyond%2Dmap/www/ Take a look at it first in Firefox, and then in IE. As you can see IE seems unable to understand what display:inline means, or perhaps its interpreting the pixel values I set differently. I have tried a whole pile of different things. I've tried taking out the containing <div style="relative> and it makes no difference. I've tried setting everything static with no sizes but then it all collapses. I am THIS close to moving to a table based layout... sometimes CSS is just so frustrating. Can anyone spot something I'm just missing? Many thanks Ok, so I'm really new to this, but I've spent several hours over the last few days tinkering with things but nothing I'm doing works: In my two column CSS layout my left navigational column is stuck hanging out underneath the center column. It looks like this both in IE and Firefox. I've searched around on here and haven't found anything, but maybe I'm not using the right keywords. Any help or suggestions for this newbie greatly appreciated! My html code: Code:

hey , i need help guys,, www.bekirhoca.com < this is my site and the left columns height is not fixed to the content. I want all the columns at the same height. But when the middle content is long the left column remains short. And also I have a problem with that menu or something. Just go over the menus without clicking and you'll see the scrollbar is going crazy and the lower part of the page acts crazy when mouse is over links. And the page is a little bit heavy acting for that reason,, but that problem is okay in firefox although not in ie. Please help me... thanx from now for your replies Hello, My first CSS site was going fine; I was learning as I went and drawing from different resources. My code and CSS probably isn't very pretty ( I validated it, I know it needs to be cleaned up) but things were working. Then I went back and made some adjustments concerning the widths of my column divs. Now I find that Firefox is respecting the rightcolumn div (specifically: <div id="contentright">)but IE keeps kicking it to the bottom left. I've tried messing with the column lengths so everything fits accordingly as specified in the frame div width. Can anyone please take a look and offer a suggestion? thanks. http://www.brinjac.com/test/binnspark.html I have the following: Quote: <div class="video"> <h1>Header</h1> <p><a href="#" title="title"><img src="images/01.jpg" alt="alt" width="150" height="150" class="img-left border"/></a></p> <div class="redBG border" style="margin-left:180px;"> <p><strong>Content</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="video"> <h1>Header</h1> <p><a href="#" title="title"><img src="images/01.jpg" alt="alt" width="150" height="150" class="img-left border"/></a></p> <div class="redBG border" style="margin-left:180px;"> <p><strong>Content</strong></p> </div> </div> Not the nicest of code but it'll do for now. I want each div with class=video to come under one another but at the moment, the 2nd div starts just after the text in the first div and not actually under it. This is in the middle column of a 3 column CSS layout. The bottom is what the .video class has. Quote: .video { margin-bottom:10px; } Any help? Hi all, I'm trying to achieve the following: <div id="left">This column is of blue background, and stretches all the way to the left.</div> <div id="center"> THIS COLUMN IS FIXED WIDTH, 760px </div> <div id="right">This column is of red background, and stretches all the way to the right.</div> Hope that is self explanatory.. I've Googled all this but can only find solutions for fluid "center" columns with fixed width right/left columns. I'm trying to do the opposite. Could anyone let me know how I can do this? I've got some messy CSS that definitely needs to be corrected, I'm trying out different things so here's my 'trial& error' code: Code:
#left {
background-color: blue;
float: left;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
}
#center {
background: #DFDFEB url(../images/body/top.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#right {
background-color: red;
}
Thanks in advance! |
