CSS - Learning Css/html Div

I am a college student and new to web design. I was wondering if anyone was a aware of any interactive software to help learn CSS or critiques of software or textbooks out there. Any help would be appreciated....

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?

ok if you go there, you will see a text resize functionality, if you decrease the browser size, this text will fall out of the border.. any way to fix that?

also I was trying to align the menu to middle but margin:auto isnt working like it did for the body?

finally I want to style forms without using floats or br

but they are not playing ball.. (well the code I have, I think is poor but it works for them but not for submit button which I would like to be on its own)

Code:

form {
        width:30%;
    }
    
    fieldset, input {
        color:green;
        border:1px solid green;
    }
    legend {
        margin-left:0.5em;
    }
    label{
        white-space:pre;
        margin:0 1em 0em 1em;
    }
    input {
        width:50%;
        margin-bottom:1em;
    }
    input[type="submit"] {
        padding:2px;
        margin-left:1em;
        width:auto;
        
    }

form:

Code:

<form action="" method="post">
            <fieldset>
                <legend>Example of a form</legend>
                <label>First Name</label>
                <input type="text" name="firstName" size="10"/>
                
                <label>Last Name</label>
                <input type="text" name="lastName" size="10"/>
                
                <label>Some options</label>
                <input type="checkbox" name=""/> Some
                <input type="checkbox" name=""/> other
                
                
                <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
        </form>

PS> if you go to the link and view source, you will see that I have used very few ids and instead used CSS selectors.. any comment on code would also be appreciated.. The reason for this is mainly for me to learn these selectors & work with them.. and this is the reason I have not used float property.. which I am amazed that you could replicate using overflow:hidden and top & left to align elements..

Hi,

I would like to make a html 'button' tag of 'submit' type look and behave like a html hyperlink.

(For those who would be curious, the reason is that I want to pass a variable to the target script, using the post method rather than appending a name-value pair to the hyperlink url, while keeping a conventional presentation. In the end, it should make the passed variable less visible for the end user, except of course if they look at the source code and look for a hidden input).

I considered to use the CSS2 system colors codes, but I did not find a code for hyperlink, and anyway, system colors will be deprecated in CSS3, so it is no good idea if I want to make my pages portable in the far future.

I tried to use the appearance property from CSS3, but it does not seem to be wel implemented yet in current browsers.

For now, I just styled my html button, removing border, and setting the background and foreground colors to something similar to an hyperlink, but then I have no guarantee that this will match the actual look & feel in the end user's browser.

Any hint or suggestion ?

hey guys i didnt know what to do so came here to ask im making just one web page, i have done all the coding and everything is set it works fine in Firefox and works fine with IE7 and IE8.... but i am having problems with the page when i open with IE6 help would be appreciated as a new user i cannot add webpage link anyone who is interested to help i can PM them the webpage or here im adding webpage hope i dont get banned for this

linux103.mysite4now.net/desimafia/test2/tvshows.htm

view it in IE6 and you will know the problem thanks

Im not certain whether or not this is an HTML or CSS problem, or if its just a bug i will have to live with.

I cannot for love nor money get IE6 to use my specified link colors...

---------FROM MY CSS SHEET---------------------

a:link {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #FFCC33 ;
}

a:active {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #FFCC33 ;
}

a:visited {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #FFCC33 ;
}

A:hover {
background-color: #FFCC33 ;
color : #000000 ;
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
}

a:hover img { background-color: #000000; }

A:link.noback {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #000000 ;
}

A:active.noback {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #000000 ;
background-color: #000000
}

A:visited.noback {
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
color : #000000 ;
}

A:hover.noback {
color : #000000 ;
background-color : #000000 ;
font-family : Trebuchet ;
font-weight : normal ;
font-style : normal ;
text-decoration : none ;
font-variant : normal ;
font-size : 10pt ;
}


in Firefox, this is all displayed as I want it to be, but in IE6, I get pants defaults.

I have been able to remove the initial color by adding <Body link="000000"> to the body, but, that doesnt seem like a complete solution.

I have spent all morning at work (nice job i know) trying to figure this out, and have had no joy...

I bow to the infinate wisdom of the masses.

Hey guys. I am having trouble getting a column to go the full length of the page.

Here is a link to the page

http://www.tjshafer.com/projects/ca...me/subpage.html

I have marked in the page where the table is that should have a height of 100%. Also here is the section that needs to be 100%.
This is the td which has the code in it,
Code:

<td id="leftcell" valign="top" height="100%">
<!--begin table for menu which includes background-->
	<table border="0" cellspacing="0" id="menucell"><tr><td width="247" valign="top">
		<!--begin menu table-->
		<table cellspacing="0" id="menuitems" border="0" width="159">
		<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td id="menuheader" align="left" width="159" style="line-height:12px">

		</tr>
		</table>
		<!--end menu table-->
	</td></tr></table>
<!--end table which includes background-->
</td>

I tried adding height="100%" everywhere i could think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there coding that can be added into a stylesheet so that when a <div> tag is used in an HTML document, it will display HTML information (tables, images, hyperlinked text, centering, etc.) from the stylesheet in the HTML document that is linked to that stylesheet?

Meaning:

If I wanted a single-row table, divided into two columns: one column with plain text, another with hyperlinked text to pages throughout my website (including pages in subfolders) to appear on every page that has a link to the stylesheet. This way, I could have the same table, text, and hyperlinks appear on any page that has the DIV tag placed (ie: <div id="idlabel"></div>)

I wanted this so that if I need to update those links, I can do it globally by changing the stylesheet, and not having to go to each page individually. I don't know how to code, nor have a server that can use, ASP or PHP.

Can CSS be used to "dynamically" update webpages, just as you can change fonts, spans, indents, text/image placement, etc. globally by changing the stylesheet?

Also, if the HTML is possible, can a graphical, Flash, or JavaScript/Form drop-down menu also be handled in the same way?

Hello, I am beginning to venture into the world css and must say I really like it. I am curious about something though. A lot is eluded to insofar as the replacement of tables in html using positioning with css. Are tables bad for some reason? I am very curious as to this issue.

Hi,

Does anyone knows how i can have css style in the body. The whole coding part should be in the body. I need show link which have the same propertise in a PHP code and I am just editing it. I am trying to work it around this way.

I juts want to have link to another page with different font and font folor change when hover. Can someone show me how i can do this. I am new to css.

Please help me.

I've been having lots of trouble getting CSS to do autostretching as well as HTML. Is HTML still the #1 choice for autostretching as of now? Are there any tutorials on CSS autostreching? Thanks.

Alright, this has to be the most annoying thing I've ever dealt with in any sort of anything.

According to w3schools, and a few threads I read here trying to find my problem, you link your HTML and CSS files by using

<head>
<link ref="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file.css" />
</head>

Or, you can use internal styling with

<head>
<style>
(code)
</style>
</head>

Well, linking doesn't work. Using Dreamweaver, when I enter href= I get the option to browse to the file. I do so, and I open the .CSS file from there. So I know I'm getting the exact location of the .CSS file.

However, when I use <style> , it works fine. If I copy and paste the code in the .CSS file and paste it between <style> tags, then the page works fine.

What the heck?
