CSS - Border

Hi guys,

First, please see this page: http://www.estyles.com.au/fotest/index.html

To do the menu, I found a tutorial on the net and modified that. It works fine in firefox, however does not work in IE; there is a border between the menu and the main container. How do I fix that?

Also, I have another problem. With the menu, I made the menu item that is selected have a larger border on the bottom; I did this so that the border would go over the top of the white border around the main content area, so the white border would be invisible under the selected button. Make sense?

Well, I'm trying to do the same thing with the "Test Block" area. I want the bit where it says "Test Block" to have a border on the left, top and right. I want the bit where it says "Testing" twice to have a border on the left, bottom and right, and also on the top but not where the "Test Block" bit joins this. I tried doing the same as the menu, ie giving the "Test Block" a larger border, but this time it actually makes the div bigger rather than overlapping the second one.

Any idea how to fix that?

Hi guys. Can I change a table row border style like below??

Code:

<tr style="border-bottom: solid 1px #DBDBDC";>    

I'm making a dashed border, and I was wondering how can I change the pixel size and color of the border? It's been awhile for me since I've used CSS or HTML but here's what I have(I know this isn't the proper formatting, but it's for a xanga site so the way it's entered doesn't really matter =\)

<style="text/css">

#box
{
border-style:dashed;
width:700px;
position:absolute;
}

</style>

<div id="box">
<div id="da"><p>Da..daa...da da Da</p>
</div>
<div id="muh"><p>muh numa nah</p>
</div>
</div>

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I want to get rid of the right border on the last link but keep the borders on the rest of the <li>'s. I'm totally stuck.

Thanks,

Brad

Hey everyone!

So I'm trying to make a site. I'm not using any tables, and I want to have a border for each side of the page. I can't use a background because the page changes width based on the users browser width.

My CSS and HTML are verified. Anyways, for the right and left borders, this is the code I have:

HTML:
Code:

	<!-- Border -->
	
		<div id="left_border"></div>
		<div id="right_border"></div>
		
		<div id="left_border_top"></div>
		<div id="right_border_top"></div>
	
	<!-- End Border -->

and for the CSS I have this:
Code:

/*Site Border Full*/

#right_border{
	background-image: url(img/layout/site_right_border.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	width: 3px;
	height: 100%;
	float: right;
	position: absolute;
	right: -3px;

}

#left_border{
	background-color: #94aec5;
	width: 1px;
	height: 100%;
	float: left;
	position: absolute;
	left: -1px;
}

#right_border_top{
	background-image: url(img/layout/header_right_border.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	width: 3px;
	height: 74px;
	float: right;
	position: absolute;
	right: -3px;
	z-index: 1000;
}

#left_border_top{
	background-color: #496986;
	width: 1px;
	height: 74px;
	float: left;
	position: absolute;
	left: -1px;
	z-index: 1000;
}


/*End Site Border Full*/

Here's the results I'm getting in Firefox:


As you can see the border displays until you get to the content area (with the text below). It seems to be because for the content area, I set the height to 100%. When I change that to a definite number (ie. 300px) the border displays.

And here's how it displays in Internet Explorer 7:


There's no border at all on this one!

Here's my entire code for the site:

So, is there any way for me to border the entire site with a 1 px border on the left side, and a y-repeating 3px image "border" on the right side?

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

If you need any more info than I've given you, please ask!

Thanks guys!

Mike

OK, so I have a grid from a table. I have it so each td has a boarder on the top and left side - the td to the right/down of that is supposed to make up the boarder of the bottom and right hand side of the first td. However... there is a 1 pixel gap where they don't connect... obviously because this space is reserved for a boarder that originally would be there. Is there any way to get rid of this gap?

Thank you.

I'm having trouble with image borders showing up in browsers-

From my style sheet:

img {
border: #FFFF91;
border-width: 5px;
}

It's weird- it works on my header image for each page, but not the rest of my images...

I tried to post the link, but I just registered today and this is my first post, so I can't...

Much, much thanks for any help!

how to create the free products heading over the border...

with the border cut for tht part of the box ???

OK, I'm doing the ALA trick where you construct a menu from an unordered list and its list items.

Very watered down example here but suppose my menu consists of a horizontal row of text links, with each link separated by a vertical line.

In my CSS I am giving the <li> container a right border that is 1px thick and black. This creates the vertical line for each link. The problem here is that the last link in the menu should not have a vertical line following it. I thought this would be an easy fix - I created a style that rendered no borders and called it via the class attribute of the <li>. Unfortunately, this dis not make the border disappear for the last menu item. All other properties defined in that style are rendered properly but the border property set in the <li> will not be overridden.

Here's some code:

Code:

#bdrtest ul	{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style: none;
}

#bdrtest li	{
	float: left;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	border-right: 1px solid #000;
}

#bdrtest li a	{
	padding: 2px 10px;
}

.noborder	{
	border: 0;
}

and

Code:

	<div id="bdrtest">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="#">hello</a></li>
			<li class="noborder"><a href="#">world</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>

Now, if I use an inline style to remove the border, it displays as expected:

Code:

<li style="border: 0;"><a href="#">world</a></li>

It also displays as expected if I redefine the scope of my style:

Code:

#bdrtest li.noborder	{
	border: 0;
}

I'd like to be able to use my .noborder style globally. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

I am trying to box around a text, but what happen is that when I setting up borders for it, it shows the box expand longer than the text. Is there a way to have the box just as big as the text (Well, slightly bigger, but just enough for the text)? I thought border-collapse:collapse would do it, but apperantly not.

This is the CSS code I am using:

PHP Code:
 div.submenu1 {
  position: relative; 
  left: 22px; 
  padding: 4px; 
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 0px 1px 1px 1px; 
  border-color: #0000FF;
  border-collapse: collapse; 
  background-color: #3399FF
} 





And on the html it's:

PHP Code:
<div class='submenu1'>
<a href='somelink' class='submenu1'>somelink</a>
</div> 

Hi,
I am using blueBox class that makes a border.

code:
Code:

<div class="blueBox"  
<table bgcolor="#FF3300"><tr><td>	
<div id="my_title" style="position: relative; width: 200px; height: 20px;" ></div>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>...

My problem is that
<div id="my_title"
is causing right border of <div class="blueBox" disappear.

When I change
<div id="my_title" style="position: relative;
to
<div id="my_title" style="position: absolute;

border is right where it should be.

I do not want to use absolute positioning. What can I do about it?

What is the problem? I can see that red background of the
<table bgcolor="#FF3300">
does not even reach half of
<div class="blueBox"
Something is obviously pushing or covering right border of <div class="blueBox"

So here's my css code

Code:

#top-div {
	border-top : 10px solid #FF8F00;
	width:100%;
	position:relative;
	top:-8px;
}

The intention is suppose to make an orange strip across the top of the page. The problem is that the left and right border of the div is not orange - specifically the top-right, top-left borders are not orange.

So basically the strip is not stretch 100% from the otter most left to the otter most right side. Any advice?

Hi all currently trying to move away from a table based layout into a cleaner looking css layout with a problem.

http://www.prxa.info/area51/viewtopic.php?tid=1

The top section is the css version, where as the bit below it is using tables. I am trying to get the "container" class to encompass the whole top bit which i am doing, but the border of it refuses to appear?

This is the css bits html:
Code:

<div class="container">
	<div class="topicoptions">
		<div style="float: left; width: 17%">
			<a href="viewtopic.php?tid={$post['topic_id']}" class="topicoptions">#{$this->post_count}</a>
		</div>
		<div style="float: right; width: 83%; text-align: right;">
			{$this->mod_options} {$topic_options}
		</div>
	</div>
	<div style="float: left; width: 17%">
		<div class="contentbox">
			<div align="center">
				{$avatar}
				{$lang['postedby']} {$profile_link} <br />
				{$post_count}<br />
				{$lang['postedon']}: {$date_time}
			</div><br />
		</div>
	</div>
	<div style="float: right; width: 83%; text-align: left;;">
		<div class="contentbox1">
			{$post['text']}
			<br />
			<br />
			{$signature_finish}
			{$edited}
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

As you can see "container" covers all of it, and the css is simply a 1px border, i cannot see where i am going wrong.

hi, i was wondering if it is possible to assign images for each border. something like

border-top:5px dotted black; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif);
border-left:1px solid red; background-image:url(verBrdr.gif);
border-right: 2px groove green; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif);
border-bottom:3px dotted #3399CC ; background-image:url(horBrdr.gif);
vertical-align:middle; padding:1em;}

of course this doesn't work. thanks for the help...

Hi, I'm a total newbie when it comes to .. well everything. HTML, CSS etc ...

I'm working on a little site, but I have a problem on (apparantly I can't post the link to my site because I'm a new user.. )




In Firefox everything is OK. But in IE when I hover over the bottom Div's (delphi.exe file) and (Delphi-files) I get a solid border instead of a dashed border as I wrote down in the CSS.

Any idea what the problem is? Is it needed for me to post the CSS file? Might be a little bit embarrasing as it's probably the most rediculous CSS file you've ever seen.

Thank you for your time.
