CSS - Trying To Get Paragraphs And Text Correct
This site is entirely CSS built and is database driven so it is completely dependent on classes and Id's. I have a conflict with <H5> in this page/site template I'm trying to edit. H5 is used for the title in the header and needs to be white. As you can see by the example of the my news section it looks just as I want it (H5 is the bigger bolder text that starts each paragraph)
MyNews.jpg Code: <div class="bodyNews"> <h4>My News</h4> <h6> <h5>News 1</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> <h6> <h5>News 2</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> <h6> <h5>News 3</h5> Content ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. </h6> </div> And here's the CSS: Code: div.myNews {}
h4 {
font: 15px Georgia,serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #6b3616;
text-transform: uppercase;
display: block;
margin: 25px 0 2px 0;
}
h5 {
font: 14px Georgia,serif;
font-weight: normal;
color: #6b3616;
margin-right: 4px;
display: inline;
}
h6 {
font: 11px/14px Verdana,sans-serif;
color: #3d412d;
margin: 10px 4px 2px 0;
}
So the problem is the H5 though it looks fine in this news part it messes with the header H5 and I can't change the class there... There must be another way to do this... Can anyone offer an alternative? See the site he Template M Similar TutorialsHello, this is my first attempt at a website and first attempt at using CSS as well. With much reading and the help of an online CSS layout creator I've been able to get pretty far, but have been having many roadblocks recently. For instance, the second heading in my layout is not displaying correctly in IE, but looks fine in FireFox. Please take a look at http://www.onlinecasinoboss.com/new_page_1.htm The second heading should lay directly underneath heading number 1, with a 2px margin in between header 2 and the main page layout. Also the text in the right, left and center columns starts as if it had a 12px or greater top margin. This problem exists in BOTH IE and FF. Please help, and thanks for anyone that takes the time to help a newbie web designer out. I'm experimenting using css, on the page http://www.philmorris.biz/view.php?id=3278941167 The problem I have is the way that each line on the description has its own highlight- something that I've only experienced with css One thing I've noticed is that each line of the description is it's own paragraph, however since the description is pulled straight from eBay, there's not much I can do about that. Are there any obvious things I'm not thinking of? Thanks Hello, I have a table formatted by CSS within which there are two styles of text, headers and content. I have the content formatted using a class (conftabledetail), with the statement: .conftabledetail {font-size:10px;} I did that to make the content more compact and distinguishable from the headers. I would like to force a space between the paragraphs of content without using a <br> tag. I read that there is an "adjacent selector" which can be used to locate adjacent tags and apply a style, for example p + p {margin-top:1em;}, which would put a 1em space between adjacent paragraphs. Apparently this selector does not work when used against a subclass, because I can't get this statement to work: p + p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} I CAN get this statement to work: p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} But that's not what I want to do. Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to change or do differently? It would also be nice to do this with a <div> tag so I don't have to repeat the class identifier on every <p> tag... Thanks, Chris Hi all, I'm trying to use CSS to apply style to ONLY images that are within paragraphs on my site. Code: <p> <img ... /> </p> In the past, some time ago, I thought I learned that "p img {...}" would accomplish what I'm trying to to. However, it applies the style to all images, not just images within paragraphs... Any one know any other methods? I have a couple hundred images already coded in, so just simply applying a class to the previous images isn't something I'd like to do. Thanks much, dbeg. What is the correct way to remove the space between paragraphs? I have p { margin-top: -12px; } but IE/Win appears to be clipping the top of the topmost paragraph containers. What is the most compatible way to do this? I have a bunch of text with nice formatting using paragraphs and I want to have a spacing between the paragraphs. I could easily do that by: Code: p { margin-bottom: 25px; }
But that will make it so the last paragraph to also have a margin like that, how can I make it so that the last paragraph have a bottom margin of 0? Just the last one in that bunch of text. Now that, this is dynamic content generated by WordPress. WordPress text is place using paragraphs but the last paragraph on each post also has a margin that shouldn't be there, or my current design of course. Is there a way around this? i have a div that has a background img. when i have p's within this div the background img only shows up if theres a line of text there. i specified the height: 277px to fix this (if theres a better way, pls let me know). and tried to put overflow:visible within p's but its still clipping. any ideas? containing div: Code: #content .col {
width: 303px;
height: 277px;
background: url(../images/one_third_box_top.png) no-repeat;
float: left;
}
p: Code: #content p, ul {
padding: 0 25px 0 30px;
line-height: 1.5em;
overflow: visible;
}
edit: this problem is in mozilla, but not in IE... weird. theres also one minor thing on a totally different subject. paths.. my paths a Code: /pub /css main.css /images foo.jpg foo2.jpg index.html obviously i have a link to the main.css in the index file but when i try to use url(images/foo.jpg), foo.jpg wont load? the path looks right unless im missing something... instead i have to url(../images/foo.jpg) for it to work... i always thought the '../' meant parent directory of the file (which is index.html since its linked from it)... right? thanks in advance. Hi! Should I do this? p { margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; } or this: p { margin-bottom: 2em; } Same question for headers (h1, h2, etc) Thanks! <p>All-in-one solution for all your Web site needs <i>and</i> wants <ul> <li>Subscriptions and Web alerts</li> <li>Web site replication</li> <li>Integrated Document Management</li> <li>Next-generation HTML Form support</li></ul> What the question is is if it is correct to mix text (inline) with a <ul> element (block-level). Thank you XHTML strict (no inline elements in <form) Code: <form ...> <div> <input ... /> <input ... /> </div> </form> Is the empty div element acceptable? Thank you Hi guys, Is it correct to have a <div after a <form or after a <p ?? For example, is this correct: Code: <form action="... </form> <div id="forgot_pass"> ... </div> OR Code: <p id="... </p> <div id="forgot_pass"> ... </div> Thank you I have been scouring this forum trying to find the correct answer. I have a list of links in an unordered list. I am using css to style the list. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is, if I have the wrong doctypes or my css is wrong. I have replaced the bullet for the li tags with background images. One is just a line the other is a line with an arrow. I am trying to push the type over a little past my arrow. In the css I have put a padding-left: 1 em; on the li tag. It works in IE but not firefox, so I added padding-left: 10; This seemed to push the li tag over in firefox. The next problem was when I went to put the doc types in. I put <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> above the <html> tag. Once again it worked in IE but not Firefox. I took out the doctype tag and inserted <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> inside the <head> tags. This seems to work in both IE and Firefox. Is this an incorrect way to put a doc type in? Below please see the css I am using and my header info Code: /*right hand nav bar*/
#nav ul{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 13px;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#nav li{
background: url(../images/divider_rht_nav.gif) repeat-x bottom;
padding-top: 0.3em;
padding-bottom: 0.6em;
padding-left: 1 em; /*this is for IE*/
padding-left: 10; /*this is for FireFox*/
}

Hello all. I wouldn't say that I'm a CSS n00b because I've been using it for a while but this is my first attempt at trying to build a site without tables using CSS. I looked at a few examples online and came up with the following for the page itself: Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"
<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<script src="scripts/js/main.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="logo_search">
<form name="search_form" method="POST" action="" onSubmit="return validate_form(this);">
<div id="logos">
<img align="absbottom" src="images/logo.png"><img align="absbottom" src="images/curve.png">
<input class="search_field" type="text" name="search_field" size="20">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Where the contents of main.css are as follows: Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #0081b3; } /* end body */
#logo_search {
display: block;
background: #ffffff; }
#logos {
display: compact;
background: #ff0000;
margin-left: 200px; } /* end #logo */
.search_field {
text-align: right;
margin-left: 400px; } /* end #search_field */
form {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
} /* end form */
Thinking tabularly (I know, I can't help it), what I'm trying to accomplish is to position these items on a single row with the search field about 25-50px from the right edge of the browser and the first image beginning about 200px from the left edge of the browser with white space from the image to the left and red from the image to the right. The code I have accomplishes this task however when the browser window shrinks, the search field wraps below the images so I'm thinking that there is a better way to do it than what I was doing. Hi all, There is a serious positioning problem going on with my page. It looks right in Firefox3, but in IE7 the spacing is messed up and the top left photo fails to display. I imagine it has something to do with the padding or margin for my text. Please help! I have validated in both CSS and HTML. Also, can anyone recommend any sort of tool to help with things like this in the future? I am in an intro web class so I failed to cross check browsers, bear with me... Thanks in advance, Amanda Code:

Is it correct to use in CSS?? thank you http://www.rich-carey.com/rc-alpha/index.php?c=files&content=misc A problem with my CSS means the columns arent equal, any ideas? ive tried several things, and JUST got colour on the right side now. Someone said something about problems with floats but i didnt quite udnerstand it With IE, the background of SELECT elements is not respecting the CSS file setting. But IE does respect the CSS for the INPUT element. Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla Firefox work correctly for SELECT and INPUT. Here is a snippet from my stylesheet file: SELECT { FONT-WEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: beige; COLOR: darkgreen } INPUT { FONT-WEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: beige; COLOR: darkgreen } I have tried #FFFFD8 and #F5F5DC as alternatives to the name "beige" for the SELECT entry. Result is always white. Yet my text boxes show properly as beige so I am confused about why that name is ignored for SELECT elements. Note that I can change the entry to something basic like BACKGROUND: yellow and that displays correctly (but I don't want yellow - I want beige - like the INPUT element). These SELECT and INPUT elements are always in some table such as: <td class=genericinputleft>Starting Date<select name=dd1 etc. Could there be a cascading problem in IE ? Here is the CSS: .genericinputLeft { FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: x-small; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; text-align: left; vertical-align: top } I have tried commenting out the BACKGROUND entry from the class above but that does not seem to help. Thanks. I have tested in Mac FF and Safari and PC FF and my page appears correct. In IE7, the images at the bottom (#bottom) don't match up (with #nav). If I delete the 10 px padding on #bottom, it appears correctly in IE7, but not the other browsers. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is there a bug fix somewhere? Unfortunately, this forum won't let me post my url because I'm new, so I'm not sure how to describe what is happening without a visual, but here goes: I have a background image that encompasses the entire page. Because of my rollovers on my images at the bottom (contained in #bottom), I kept the background when making the images. The background on the images in #bottom do not match up with the background, thereby creating a disjoint, or "leap," between #nav and #bottom. Why would this happen in IE7 and not FF or Safari? (See first paragraph for padding explanation.) css: @charset "UTF-8"; #outer { width: 723px; background-image: url(images/art_bground.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; position:relative; float: none; margin: 0 auto; } #bottom { margin: 0px; height: 312px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; img display: block; } #body { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 25px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 260px; height: 208px; padding-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 0px; } a:link { color: #c33b03; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #996600; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #6a2e09; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #6a2e09; } .text {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #6a2e09;} .navtext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; color: #c33b03; margin-top: -10px; } .bold { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; color: #c33b03; font-style: normal; } #nav { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 25px; margin-left: 520px; margin-bottom: 0px; height: 178px; } Ok ive got this small concept i need to work in order for me to implement it on the actual website. this code works 100% correct to how i want it to in FireFox. I have an image within a table TD tag , but i need the image to float outside the tables borders, i can do this with the margin-right: -20px; In firefox i can still see the full image been displayed, but in IE the image falls behind the table limits and then does not display any more. Please help me sort this one out. Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
.test {
margin-right: -30px;
float: right;
z-index: 2;
}
.table{
z-index: 10;
}
</style>

Hi everyone, Please see this page in IE: shawnessy.ca/test.php The height of the top row (not the <TH> row) of the calendar gets messed up. The page looks fine under Firefox. Basically, I grabbed this calendar from my forum, which on its own, looks fine in IE: shawnessy.ca/forum/ Can anyone give me some suggestions as to how to fix this? |
