CSS - Trying To Understand Div Layout
I just started trying to use CSS and I wanted to use a div layout instead of a table layout. The problem I'm having is that the separate divs don't want to sit one on top of the other. They like to have gaps. What do I need to change. I have been looking everywhere.
Code:
.color1 {background-color: #411063;}
.color1 a:link {color: #CC9900;}
.color1 a:visited {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color1 a:active {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color1 a:hover {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;}
.color2 {background-color: #B39FC2;}
.color2 a:link {color: #CC9900;}
.color2 a:visited {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color2 a:active {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color2 a:hover {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;}
.color3 {background-color: #E6E8EE;}
.color3 a:link {color: #CC9900;}
.color3 a:visited {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color3 a:active {color: #FFFFFF;}
.color3 a:hover {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;}
body
{
text-align: center;
}
div#document_border
{
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 2px;
width: 762px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Print Shop Template</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print_shop.css"></link>
</head>
<body class="color1">
<div id="document_border">
<div id="title" class="color2">
<h1>McKendree Print Shop</h1>
</div>
<div id="header" class="color1">
<a href="template.html">Links</a>
</div>
<div id="content" class="color3">
<!-- Content Start -->

<!-- Content End -->
</div>
<div id="footer" class="color1">
<a href="template.html">Links</a>
</div>
<div id="footer_spacer" class="color2">

Similar TutorialsHello, i have a very strange problem with css. I want to build a horizontal menu, like tabs. Here is the link of my site. (sorry, its in russian) http://eai.w2o.ru/default.aspx Now you can see red border around the header div. When in layout.css, I remove the border, the header div changes its position (goes down). (in IE and FF (in FF is a little better)) Can you tell me what is my mistake? How can I do the same without that border? Thank you very much! http://www.tonglebeak.com/test.html Why in the world does IE completely mess up the hover effects on the anchor tag whenever first-letter is being applied to the tag? View the source, save and remove the first-letter section, watch hovering work in IE then, etc.., I don't care, I'd just like to know what hack can be applied to make IE work here. okay, so i was trying to accomplish the same thing as the website www.alistapart.com I wanted the same thing for the links up at the top, i achieved this by looking at this websites CSS file. this was teh relevant CSS code: PHP Code: #menu UL { BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; CLEAR: left; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none; TEXT-ALIGN: center; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px } #menu UL LI { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FLOAT: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; TEXT-ALIGN: center } #menu UL LI A { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: #ccc 1px solid; DISPLAY: block; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: x-small; BACKGROUND: #fff; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; WIDTH: 118px; COLOR: #c30; LINE-HEIGHT: 2em; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ccc 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: none; LETTER-SPACING: 1px; HEIGHT: 2em; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: none; voice-family: inherit; } lol so it accomplishes what im looking for but i don't understand WHY it does this. Any help would be great! thanks. Can someone please help me understand float! I want the layout as shown on the picture. What is wrong in my HTML/CSS code?

Hi, I was learning CSS and it didn't quite explain what the second img does. Code:
div.img img
{
display: inline;
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
}
Also on some sites i noticed it would have more than one tag: Code:
div.img img img img img {}
or Code:
div div div div {}
if you could help, thank you I'm trying to get my head round these ... A) .search input, .search .commonButton { margin-right: 7px; vertical-align: middle; } I know what the style parts do, but I don't understand what the first two lines are doing. I think the second line is saying to apply the style to all .commonButton classes within a .search class ??? Don't know about the first. -------------------------------------- B) .buttons div { white-space: nowrap; } does this mean the style is applied to any div elements within the .buttons class? HI guys I'm basically ultra confused as to why a particular div in my layout won't line up on the following page.. http://hcl.uk.com/test/instaffs/enews1/ I'm talking about the orange box on the right hand side. As you can see, in Firefox it sits right against the line above it, yet in IE 6 theres a 4 or 5 pixel gap forcing the box down. I have been through both my CSS and markup and still can't figure out why this happening.. the only thing I can think of is that it's an IE bug that I don't know about. If anyone can take a look and give me some pointers on what it might or could be that would be great. Thanks in advance for all your help. Stu Hi, I'm trying to understand background image use on digg.com. I have Firefox and web developer plugin fired up and looking at the css for the navigation. The link "all" for example has digg[dot]com/img/menu-current.gif image as background, but there's not much positioning in the css... I don't understand how they use this image portions.. Can someone explain? Thanks! Hello! I am learning CSS on my own which is an authentic crusade So i decided to start with blogs since i have one of my own and i want to give it a personal look. I decided to download some blog templates available in the web to open and see how they work, somehow i managed to understand what i wanted but there are somethings that i don't understand. I decided to stick with this blog template but i came to realize that it doesn't show correctly in IE, the side bar color doesn't show and the font size is bigger. I wonder why that happens...can someone tell me?

Can anyone help. Also, is this well coded, or is it inefficient? James Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why. Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code: <!--begin wrapper-->

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? Attached is my html page and my css file. The css is a template i got off ssi-developer. I'm changing it around a bit to fit my needs. The way I have the page now is fine I'm just curious to know if I can do this one thing. What I'm wondering is if I have to make different classes for the multiple rows that I have. Is there a way I can make the same layout without making all the rows. Once you see my files you will get a better understading of what I'm trying to accomplish. My layout is pretty simple. 1 large columb in the center that should extend the full length of the browser(minimum) regardless of how much text is in it. 1 column on either side of it for other content. I cannot get the middle column to extend to 100%. it stops at the data. Here is my CSS. Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande',
Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #C10E0E;
}
#leftcolumn {
display: inline;
float: left;
left: 15%;
width: 150px;
}
#centercolumn {
float: left;
width: 511px;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 2px;
padding: 8px;
border-left: 1px solid #494949;
border-right: 1px solid #494949;
background: url(/images/bg.png) no-repeat top left;

thanks! The site I'm working on is located at the following address: http://www.solinari.net/div.php On the left, the navigation is in two pieces - a left and a right piece. I need to have both pieces extend to the bottom of however long the page is. The bottom div's of both pieces of the navigation each have an image repeating vertically, my question is how to get the div to extend to the bottom of the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Solinari I'm working on converting a website from tables to div's and running into one little issue. The site is a basic header on top, navigation on left, content on right and a footer on the bottom. I would like the navigation div to grow in height to match the height of the content div so that the background fills the left side of the page. I have placed the nav and content divs in a container div and set a min-height on the container. I was hoping that that would let me place height: 100% on the navigation div but it isn't growing ever. Is there a way to get something like this done? FYI, the site is currently at http://users.adelphia.net/~mmorasch/ Hey, I know how to do this using a table, but I'm worried it will break down in certain browsers and I want to know the best way to go about this and incoperate some css and divs.. Here is what the table would consist of background: url ('../images/topbg.jpg') repeat-x; height: 295px; width: 850px; 1st row = 1 column height: 155px; 2nd row = 8 equal columns height: 140px; In each of these 8 columns I want to insert an image link which are centered vertically as well as horizontally I was working on making 2 different link menu's one that dropped down and one that was stationary underneath it. On my computer it looks fine but on some computers the bottom link is partially underneath the top one. and the opacity filter's do not show up especially on mac's. Was wondering if anyone could help. Heres the website link, and then the code. http://www24.brinkster.com/mattphat/test2.html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I am having a hard time grasping this and would really appreciate some help. I think if you look at this code, my problem is obvious. I want a layout with a nav column down the left side, a banner area, and a content area. I have played around with this for hours, tons of trial and error. I almost had it in IE, but in NS it looks like crap. Also, in the container <div> that someone kindly gave me, what is the -350px do? Here is my code, thanks so much. <!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=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Full Height</title> <style type="text/css"> /*<![CDATA[*/ body { height: 100%; margin: 0; } #container { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 50%; margin-left: -350px; width: 700px; height: 100%; background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid red; background-image: url('images/keybg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav{ width:135px; position:absolute; background-color:#000; left:0px; height:100%; float:left; clear:right; top:0px; margin-top:0px; } #banner{ width:565px; position:absolute; background-color:#f00; left:135px; height:125px; float:right; } #content{ width:565px; position:absolute; margin-top:125px; background-color:#00f; left:0px; height:100%; float:right; clear:left; } /*]]>*/ </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="nav"> </div> <div id="banner" </div> <div id="content"> </div> </div> </body> </html> |
