CSS - Inline Fixed Height Divs With Relatively Positioned Elements
Hi, I have been puzzle for a while now working out how to do this.
I have two fixed height divs which I want to appear on the same line (inline). However to maintain the fixed height they cannot be set as display: inline; (Well that works in IE but not in Firefox). Anyway I find out that setting one div to float left and the other to float right with another div with clear:both works fine. However when it comes to setting the position of the flash elements I want in each div element it works now in Firefox but not in IE. I currently have: <div id="diva"> <object id="face1" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face1" value="face1.swf"> <embed src="face1.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="divb"> <object id="face2" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face2" value="face2.swf"> <embed src="face2.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="clear"></div> With the relavent css: #div1 { background-image : url(images/bg1.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: left; text-align : center; vertical-align : bottom; } #div2 { background-image : url(images/bg2.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: right; text-align: center; vertical-align : bottom; } #clear { clear: both; } img { border: 0px; } #face1{ padding-top: 220px; left: 30px; } #face2{ position: relative; top: 220px; left: 10px; } Effectively what I want is: Where the divs are on the same line and are fixed height (as they have a background) and then each swf element releatively positioned inside the div...which will work in Firefox and IE! Thank you for your time. Similar TutorialsSince this is my first post here, Hello, everyone! I can't find the answer to this simple question anywhere else, so I hope you can help. When a block-level (by default) element is set to "display: inline", can it still contain other block-level elements? BTW I want to avoid using "display: inline-block" since it is not as well-supported. Thanks a bunch, Rachel Hi! Is it possible to align vertically block elements in a fixed-height (unknown) container? If not, this is a serious shortcoming of the css model of placing objects on the screen. Thanks! Hi I've come up on the old <select> elements showing through <div>s that are made visible on top of them. What I want to do is find out the id's of the select elements under my <div> so that i can hide them using CSS / Javascript. The basic layout of my page is a grid of <select> elements, each one of these would have a hidden <div> layer associated with it containing extra information etc. By the side of each of the <select> elements is a little image / button that the user will click and the layer with the extra stuff in is made visible. The layer will overlap a number of <select> elements (not the parent <select> element). Each <div> pops up in a different position (calculated dynamically as an x,y offset from the parent) can I find the Ids of the elements it overlaps? Hope this is clear, and thanks in advance. flipflops. The form elements (<select> specifically) on a background layer seem to be showing through a <div> layer positioned above it (at least in IE.) Does anyone know a trick or some such to stop the form elements from the background from showing through the <div>? t h a n k s Can someone tell me how z-index calculated on two elements that are both absolute position Below is a simple test page that fails to load properly on the Mozilla browser. It appears to work properly in IE. Any suggestions to getting the span width to set properly, based upon the content of the span would be a great help. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Span test</title> <style TYPE="text/css"> .submenu { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #D4BA6B; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 0px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; min-width: 100px; visibility: visible; z-index: 1; } .submenuItem { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000; border-right: 2px solid #ff0000; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff0000; border-top: 2px solid #ff0000; font-family: "arial narrow", arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; position: absolute; z-index: 1; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; } </style> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function getWidth() { oSpan = document.getElementById("testSpan"); iWidth1 = oSpan.offsetWidth; alert ("Width1 = " + iWidth1); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body onload="getWidth()"> <div class="submenu"> <span class="submenuItem" id="testSpan">This is the item that I am testing today.</span> </div> </body> </html> Hi All, I'm trying to re-order the divs in my code, so that when it is previewed, the main content div - which is my first div in code previews below the div containing the navigation, which appears below the main content div in code. I'm told that the closer the main content is to the top of the page in code,the better as far as search engine optimisation is concerned (styles will be in a separate document). I have managed to do this using both negative margins and absolutely positioned divs inside a relative div. my problem is that if the amount of text inside my content div increases, it throws off the margins/positioning so that the text actually appears on top of the navigation div. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful for your help. I've included a very simplified version of the page to help you picture the problem. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #maincontent { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; background-color: #CCCCCC; width: 80%; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative; top: 25px; } #envelope { width: 100%; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: absolute; } #navigationbar { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #0066CC; width: 80%; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; top: -15px; position: relative; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="envelope"> <div id="maincontent"> Main content div variable sized content </div> <div id="navigationbar">Navigation bar the size of this area will be fixed</div> </div> </body> </html> I came here hoping you guys could lend some advice and suggestions towards getting what I am trying to accomplished solved. I am using google charts to generate 2 different charts and am using javascript and css to dynamically generate the divs for each of my charts for that data that I am pulling. However, I am running into some issues trying to get the divs positioned properly while doing this, and I was hoping you guys could lend some advice. I have a div that's my container, a div for the title of the line chart, a div for my line chart, and a div for my pie chart and the code for them is he Code: //==================================================================================================== ==
// Create our bodyDiv which acts as our Title for the Intersection
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bodyDiv = document.createElement('div');
bodyDiv.setAttribute('id', ("bodyDiv" + TempInt));
bodyDiv.style.width = 900;
bodyDiv.style.height = 400;
bodyDiv.style.margin = 0;
bodyDiv.style.padding = 0;
bodyDiv.style.position = 'relative';
bodyDiv.style.left = '0px';
bodyDiv.style.top = '0px';
//==================================================================================================== ==
// Append the Div to the HTML Document
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
document.body.appendChild(bodyDiv);
titleDiv = document.createElement('div');
titleDiv.setAttribute('id', ("bodyDiv" + TempInt));
titleDiv.style.width = 900;
titleDiv.style.height = 5;
titleDiv.style.margin = 0;
titleDiv.style.padding = 0;
titleDiv.style.position = 'relative';
titleDiv.style.left = '0px';
titleDiv.style.top = '0px';
titleDiv.innerHTML = '<img src="http://www.suntransformer.com/peter/GoogleAPI3/test/bckgrnd.png"><h5>Intersection: ' + TempInt + '</h5>';
bodyDiv.appendChild(titleDiv);
//==================================================================================================== ==
// Create the timelineDiv which holds our TimeLine chart
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
timelineDiv = document.createElement('div');
timelineDiv.setAttribute('id', TempInt);
timelineDiv.style.width = 350;
timelineDiv.style.height = 275;
timelineDiv.style.margin = 0;
timelineDiv.style.padding = 0;
timelineDiv.style.position = 'relative';
timelineDiv.style.left = '0px';
timelineDiv.style.top = '0px';
//==================================================================================================== ==
// Append the Div to the bodyDiv
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bodyDiv.appendChild(timelineDiv);
//==================================================================================================== ==
// Create the pieDiv which holds our Pie Chart
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var pieDivID = "Pie" + TempInt;
pieDiv = document.createElement('div');
pieDiv.setAttribute('id', pieDivID);
pieDiv.style.width = 500;
pieDiv.style.height = 300;
pieDiv.style.margin = 0;
pieDiv.style.padding = 0;
pieDiv.style.position = 'relative';
pieDiv.style.left = '0px';
pieDiv.style.top = '0px';
pieDiv.innerHTML = '<img src="http://www.suntransformer.com/peter/GoogleAPI3/test/bckvert.png">';
//==================================================================================================== ==
// Append the pieDiv to the bodyDiv
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bodyDiv.appendChild(pieDiv);
The charts are added to the divs later by creating the chart and setting its container options to the div. I am trying to get the title for the timeline chart div to show directly above the timeline chart div and then the pie chart div to show up right next to that. However, the divs are showing up stacking right up on top of each other. Any ideas? I'm working on a pet project on the off chance that I could be hired by a small business referral organization in the city where I live, so this isn't super urgent. I'm also not a web developer by trade, more IT, so if I make any obvious mistakes, feel free to point them out. I've got a simple absolute-positioned two-column layout and a two-color background that I want to tile vertically behind it. The problem seems to be that the browsers ( IE and FF, haven't tried chrome/safari/opera) seem to think that the body ends at the bottom of the logo I set on top, and won't tile it beyond the bottom of the image.

A gap is appearing between <li> elements in Opera and FF but not in IE. You can check it here Which is the correct behaviour? How do I remove the gaps between <li> elements in a valid way. Thank you. Greetings: I need to essentially create a table out of DIV tags. The reason is because I need to grant the user the ability to use scrollbars to navigate in a given cell. The problem I am running into, is when the DIV elements fall outside of the wrapper DIV, they wrap to new lines. The DIV "table" within the HTML table is by design. This is because I cannot create a scrollable subset of elements within TD tags. I am simply looking for the way to ensure the following: 1. The DIV "cells" do not wrap (as they are now) and 2. Scrollbars exist to move horizontally and vertically within the "cell" I've experimented with all sorts of combinations of CSS in several of the elements to no avail. Thanks for any help. The HTML for the table: Code: <table id="optionsMatrixTable" border="1"> <thead id="optionsMatrixTableHead"> <!-- <tr id="optionsMatrixTableHeadRow"></tr> --> <tr class="menuRow"

Maybe an easy one, anyone know how you'd render the the top and bottom border for an inline element in ie? Hi! Is it OK to mix inline and block elements? For example: <imp ... /> <p> .... </p> Thanks Hello, I'm trying to achieve an effect using a background image with an inline element. Specifically, I have certain hyperlinks that I want to display a graphical arrow to the right of. Essentially, it looks something like: Hyperlinked text here >>> Where ">>>" is actually a small graphic approximately 20 pixels wide. I don't want to place the image inline, because it's a visual effect and users don't need to "interact" with it. And it's also tied in with the style of the site, so controlling it through CSS is very attractive. I figured out that if I add about 20 pixels of padding to the right of the ANCHOR element, I can use the graphic as a CSS background image. Looks good in IE5+ and Mozilla-based browsers (not concerned with NS4), as long as the ANCHOR text is on one line. Problem is, when the text of the ANCHOR element breaks across two or more lines, I lose the image in IE. Of course, Mozilla-based browsers handle it perfectly -- it's just Microsoft's little problem child that's giving me fits. Anyone else have any luck using a background image on an inline element that spans two or more lines? I can't find any documented hacks or the like to help me out. Any help is greatly appreciated! -Chris Hi all, I've got a problem on my hands. I've been restructuring the site I work on from their FrontPage code to complete XHTML + CSS. I always thought that by using span's that I could make a block level element display inline, but keep all of it's block level uniqueness, such as height and width and other items, but would display right next to other elements. Works great with headers and such but not with boxes. I created a 4 <span> system inside a centered div, figuring they'd all work. But span's don't keep their block level uniqueness, so nothing displayed at all! I fixed 3 of these 4 by putting their background images inside the spans, which I wanted to avoid, but it works so I won't complain on that. Now I have this. Code: <div id="bigdiv"> <span id="maptop"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/wel_left_top.jpg" alt="Welcome!" /></span><span id="feattop"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/feat_right_top.png" alt="" /></span><br /> <span id="mapbot"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/wel_left_bot.jpg" alt="" /></span><span id="featbot">This is where things will go.</span><br /> </div> Span id featbot has no images, it has a repeat-x background so that I can place and change text in there at will. Because of this, and it being a span, it wraps only to the size of the text, which isn't good. I found a display: inline-table (displays as a table, but inline, pretty obvious), which works great in Safari for OS X, but not in IE 6 or Firefox on Windows. How would I structure this correctly so that it actually does work? Here is an image showing the design and how it's set up (ignore the gradients, they're not being used). As you can see where featbot is, that's where text will go, the others are images, so they display right. Suggestions? I'm really confused here... Thanks. Ok, so maybe I don't understand the display attribute quite right. What I'm doing makes sense to me, but it's not working right when displayed. I have a div that is set to display inline (so that I don't have to use floating). Since inline elements can't have height/width attributes, i have another div inside of it, with display set to block. This inner div has height and width attributes. Now, if I place another similar structure (block div inside inline div) in the code, the two outer divs /should/ (in my mind) render side-by-side with the heights and widths of their child div's. When I try it though, it displays everything as block-type. Any ideas?

It also doesn't center properly in FF, but that's secondary... IE5 doesn't support this (trying to apply padding-left to links). Has anyone found a good workaround - Don't really want to put each one inside a DIV Hi! Does floating an inline element automatically converts it to a block-level element? If yes, what does this give for an inline element: float: left; display: inline; ? Is it bad practice to float inline elements directly? (img, span, input, and so on). Thanks Hello, I'm new here and in desperate need of your help. What I'm trying to accomplish is this: http:// i29.tinypic.com/259inue.jpg There are two problems. 1) How do I place two sidebars next to each other? 2) How do I keep the header and the sidebars fixed, and the content the only element that you can scroll in? Any hints would be greatly appreciated! Sorry about my Engish, I'm afraid it's not very good. I would like to have a header on my page with my logo in the top left corner, and a cloud image going the rest of the way across the top. I set up the cloud image as a background, but wanted the logo to be clickable so it is set up in the html as an image. The problem is that I want the image to be fixed in the corner so that when the visitor scrolls, it stays at the top. It looks good in Firefox and in Chrome, but in IE it is a few pixels offset from the corner and I have no idea how to fix it. See what I mean he felixairservices.com Here is my css for the logo: Code: body
{
background:#6699BB url('sky.jpg') no-repeat top right fixed;
background-size: 90% 228px contain;
}
img.logo
{
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:0px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border-style:none;
}
And here is the html I am using to display it: Code: <a class="logo" href="index.html" border="0"><img class="logo" src="Logo.jpg" valign="top" align="left" border="0"></a><br> Any help would be appreciated. I'm just a simple AC contractor trying to build a decent web page for my business. |
