CSS - Adding A Border Screws Up My Layout
Hi, I'm having a strange problem. I finally got my layout designed so that it works in both IE and FF and will work scale correctly in relation to screen resolution but now with one aesthetic defect.
I have it set up so that the side navigation and the body are scaled 25%:75% but I would like a "thin solid" border between the two. My problem is that when i add the border it exceeds 100% and pushes the main content area underneath the menu. Heres the code for the page; and yes the styles will eventually be moved to the external CSS. right now the only thing the external CSS provides is the body's background image. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title> TEST PAGE 2 </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheets/default.css"> </head> <body> <!-- LOGO ROW --> <div id="logorow" style="background-color: #FFFFFF; height: 100px; border-bottom: medium solid #7D5D10;"> <img src="/Images/owlstreelogo.jpg" height="100px" width="300px" alt="Welcome to Owl's Tree"> </div> <!-- END OF LOGO ROW --> <!-- TOP NAVIGATION ROW --> <div id="topnavigationrow" style="background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: thin solid #7D5D10;"> INSERT TOP NAVIGATION ROW LINKS HERE </div> <!-- END OF TOP NAVIGATION ROW --> <!-- CHANGING CONTENT AREA --> <div id="changingcontent" style="background-color: #FFFFFF;"> <!-- SIDE NAVIGATION AREA --> <div id="sidenavigation" style="background-color: #FF0000; width: 25%; float: left;"> </div> <!-- END OF SIDE NAVIGATION AREA --> <!-- BODY CONTENT AREA --> <div id="bodycontent" style="background-color: #0000FF; width: 75%; float: left;"> </div> <!-- END OF BODY CONTENT AREA --> </div> <!-- END OF CHANGING CONTENT AREA --> </body> </html> I want to add "border-right: thin solid #7D5D10" to the side navigation section but when I do i'm faced with this problem. Any idea on a solution to this problem? Oh yeah and as a side not all these sections will eventually have a white background so i'm not worried about the height of them not matching because it will be unnoticable, the sections are just colored so I can see where each section starts and ends. And another random question i'm not too worried about: If i fill a section (eg. the main content section) with a single character over and over past the width of the section without spaces it overflows and displays outside the div tags boundaries. Why does it do that? and is there anyway to make sure the text wraps in the extremely rare case this would happen? Thanks in advance to anyone reading this Similar TutorialsHi all, with your great help, the pages looks now almost fine in both IE and FF. But, the photogallery looks much more better with all the photos bordered, like on this screenshot from FireFox. Unfornutely, when you check it in IE, all the images are messed around in a totally upredictable way (screenshot from IE). It was the same using vertical-align, but it's not so essential. So, is there please any solution to handle this? And is there a way how to center floating <div> within his parent <div> ("Unfortunately, there is no easy way to center floated elements." - But is there any way)? The red bordered div is floating, including all the images put in <div>, which are floating too, I'd love center the red bordered <div> inside the green bordered one. To be specific, I don't insist on the red bordered div to be floating, I just looking for a way how to center all the images inside the green bordered <div>. Here are CSS used: Fotogalerie.css, Web.css. Webdesign isn't really easy thing to learn , if all would work how it's supposed to work, it'd wonderful, but IE makes it all 3times harder , I really start to not to like him (more than before ) I have set up some links at the top of the page, and to make them appear more like buttons I have applied a background colour and border around them. Works a treat in Opera, Mozilla but IE is only showing the side border.. If I add a display type of BLOCK they run down the page as I expected but the borders are added right the way around. I have loaded the code for people to look at, from what I can see Im doing it correct, but not correct enough it seems. Code:
CSS
#nav {
position: absolute;
width: auto;
top: 112px;
left: 10px;
background-color: #ffffff;
z-index: 4;
}
/* If I add ':link' to the top selector the background and all borders drop off aswell as colour.*/
#nav a {
color: #203F71;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #FFFF00;
border: solid 1px #000000;
padding: 1px 5px;
}
#nav a:hover {
color: #FFFF00;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #203F71
}
#nav a:active {
color: #203F71;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

I'm working on a new design for my blog and having a problem with a border. I have a three column layout and want to have a border on the left, right, and bottom the container div, but instead of surrounding it it just sticks it at the top by itself. Heres the page and css Code:

I'm sure its something stupid but I haven't been able to figure it out all day. I am trying to create a web page layout using CSS instead of tables (what I usually use). The content of the page is a fixed width, where the background just expands to keep the content part centered. The problem I am running into is adding a shadowed border (created in photoshop) to this content area. With tables I would just create a narrow 10 px column on each side of the content and use the shadowed gif part as the backgorund on each side. But I want to try to do this with CSS any help, ideas, or links to a page explaining this is greatly appreciated as I am not really turning up much. Here is a pic to explain the shadow (which runs vertically along both sides of the white content area) I am tyring to accomplish. Thank you Hey people, when slicing a new layout for my site I had to do so in tables for the sole reason of a problem I've had for a long time now, how to have a border images set for either side of an image? The layout is he http://www.trshady.com Now as you can see, either side of the layout I have a .gif 'shadow' which fails due to .gif not handling gradients and .png being uncompatable transparency with IE but how would I ever add these borders with CSS? Say they wasn't shadows and images of other kinds .. how would I be able to achieve such an effect? the border-image property is coming with CCS3 I believe but till then, what solutions do I have? im using (stripped most) CSS: Code:
h3 {
margin-top:-10px;
}
in this HTML Code: <h1>Header</h1> <h3>subtitle</h3> i want the <h3> the overlap the <h1> partly, like defined in the CSS. It works fine in every browser, but in IE, the rest of the page is distored because of the negative margin definition. is there any workaround for this I am trying to develope http://www.hotlinkforums.com/, but why does the doctype that is generated by the forums screwup my styles. When I take it out of my homepage it makes my stylesheet work correctly, but when I use it it doesn't. Does it matter if I don't use the doctype? Will that screw up search engine ranking or anything? Also what the heck is all of this in my homepage?: <html dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> <title>HotLink Forums - powered by vBulletin</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3" /> <meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,discussion,bulletin board,hotlink,hosting,linux,vb,domains,reseller,affordable,cheap" /> <meta name="description" content="Message Boards for HotLink Hosting" /> Does the direction and lagnuage statements in the html tag matter towards anythign important? What do all these weird meta tags such as pragma, expires, cache-control, generator do and do I need them there? Do the meta tags below the title need to be below the title because I know I can put them above it with the others. Also, why is there a blank white space at the top of the forums? And why does the background to my td at the bottom not work? Can anyone please tell me why Safari can't deal with these margins properly? EDIT: Fixed. Removed link. I am working on a project based around the Thesis Wordpress theme where I have had to add a sidebar on the lefthand side of a site, which didn't seem like a real big deal. My approach to this task was to essentially create a new series of div layout tags to encompass Thesis' core "container" id through OpenHook... here's what I did: With the 'Before HTML' hook, I added: Code: <div id="headerrunner">
<div id="footerrunner">
<div id="externalwrap">
<div id="gutter">
<div id="gutter-upper">
<? include get_bloginfo('template_url').'/custom/gutter.php'; ?>
</div>
</div>
And with After HTML I added: Code: <div class="clear"><!-- --> <!-- end id="externalwrap" --> </div> <!-- end id="footerrunner" --> </div> <!-- end id="headerrunner" --> </div> Pertinent CSS is he Code: .custom #externalwrap {
width: 97.7em;
margin:0 auto;
}
.custom #container {
margin: 0;
float: left;
}
.custom #gutter {
background: #ffcb19 url(images/gutter.png) repeat-y center bottom;
float: left;
padding: 0;
margin-top: 63px;
position: relative;
}
.custom #headerrunner {
background: url(images/back.png) repeat-x;
}
.custom #footerrunner {
background: url(images/footer.png) repeat-x 0 bottom;
}
.custom #gutter-upper {
background: url(images/gutter-top.png) no-repeat center top;
padding-top: 45px;
}
So this works like a champ, with the sole exception that in Internet Explorer, the layout no longer remains centered, but rather is left justified. I'm kind of beating my head against a brick wall on this one now... anybody maybe have an idea? i have hit a brick wall in the development of this site i began working on several hours ago. i did not create the template or slice the images up.. i only wrote css + xhtml code. here is what it looks like.. one in ff and one in IE.. http://i39.tinypic.com/35hicki.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2wrq1d1.jpg xhtml: Code:

this is the first time i am ever attempting such a project. basically if i add a border around a button in FF i can click the button however the effect of "pressing" a button is lost.. IE mainatain this! is there a solution or will i have to live with it? Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers... See code below: Code:

Why is the bottom border of the menuelements (table cells) not getting correct in Firefox?<br>
None-active menuelements should have a border-bottom = black, active should have same bottom-border as page.<br>
Notice that I use border-collapse on the table in order to get the cell-border 1px thick between the menuitems.<br>
If I remove border-collapse, then there is no strange behaviour in Firefox.<br>
Any way to get this working in Firefox without breaking it in IE?

I'm a little puzzled by this weird display bug by IE7, this bug doesn't occur in IE6. It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code:
.results {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ;
}
Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: Code:

That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? 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-->
<div id="wrapper">

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. How do you create an inner border around a table in css, rather than a "solid" border which creates a border line around the table on the outer half. The border needs to butt up against an image, rather than leaving a pixel space. This is the coder I have so far. Nothing big: Code:
.solid {
border: solid 1px #000000;
}
Thanks. 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? 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. |
