CSS - Two Horizontal Rows Of Four Boxes

Hi

I am creating a new site for a friend in Wordpress

ilovelifebecause.com

I can usually muddle through in css to make changes, but i'm stumped at the moment.

What I am trying to do is swap around the two cream coloured boxes so the larger one is on the right, the thinner one on the left and the blue box in the middle still. I've tried a number of things in the css file but can't seem to find the right method - can anyone help?

many thanks in advance
Paul

Hello:

I'm trying to place two drop down boxes at the right of my page.

When I view the pages in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they are so far off.

You can view the page yourself by visiting:

I've tried changing widths, margins, etc and am having no luck.

I can use some help. I hope someone can help me out.

Thank you.

Im trying to replicate the vertical navigation style that is used on the Mozilla Firefox Website (as seen to the left). I have sucessfully done this useing images, with the exclusion of a space problem between the items and the end images in FireFox. I am using the strict.dtd and am frustrated with this problem. Iff anyone can help me create a nav with this style that would be wonderful. Here is the css im using:

Code:

.cssnavend	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 9px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	background-image: url(images/but-over.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav a {
	display:block;
	font-size: 11px;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	color: #096CCE; 
	text-decoration: none; 
}
.cssnav img {
	width: 100%; 
	height: 100%;
	border: 0;
}
.cssnav a:hover{
	color: #000;
	}
* html a:hover {
	visibility:visible
}
.cssnav a:hover img{
	visibility:hidden
}
.cssnav span {	
	position:absolute;
	left:7px;	
	top:7px;	
	margin:0;	
	cursor: pointer;
	}
#box {
	margin-top: 10px;
	padding: 0;
	width: 209px;
	display: block;
	}
#boxtop {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxcontent {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
}
#boxbottom {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxtext {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
	padding: 2px;
}

The following code is me testing my css. The first group is useing the cssnav styles. The 2nd group is using the box styles. The 3rd group is a try at making a content box with rounded corners that is a spacific width. Unfortunatly, the content of the box will not wrap to the width of the box, instead it continues on 1 line and outside the box.

Code:

<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-top.jpg"></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="phpbb/index.php" target=_blank><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-bot.jpg"></div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/but-top.jpg></div>
	<div content="boxcontent">
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/but-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/box-top.jpg></div>
	<div class="boxcontent">
		<div class="boxtext">This is some text inside of the box. This text should wrap and be padded.</div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/box-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

Thank you all who help.

I have 4 or 5 form controls that I want in a horizontal line. Each form control has a label above it, and I'm using <br>s to position the form control below the label.

I thought that wrapping each "label<br>form control" with a <span> would turn the whole thing into an inline block, where the next <span> would line up next to it, like the next <td> in a <tr>.
Code:

<div id=secondline>
  <span id=ed>
    <b>Event Definition</b>:<br>
    <textarea name=inject cols=45 rows=6></textarea>
  </span>
  <span id=after>
    <b>After</b><br>
    <select name=next size=8 multiple>
      <option value=0>0
      ...
      <option value=100>100
    </select>
  </span>
</div>

but, alas, it doesn't work like that.

How can I get Code:

<tr>
  <td>label<br>form_control</td>
  <td>label<br>form_control</td>
</tr>

behavior without using tables?

Hello,

I created a site with floating frames and it looks good in IE6 and FF/Mozilla.

But I have one problem:
I use in my dynamic layout an ID more then once
(thats not OK according w3 validation)

I tried to do something with pseudo classes but this works not really goed. My "uni" thumb box is used on two diff. pages
The skyscraper: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/
and the result/search page: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/search.php

I know there is a solution, but because the tumbbox have to be much flexible the solution must be simple as the current (wrong) solution. Anyone an idea?

My boxes line up horizontally perfectly in Firefox but not in IE7 (not suprisingly).

Because of the rules I can't show you the link but the html places two boxes side by side lined up so that they are the same distance from the top. It looks right in Firefox but IE7 drops the right box about 10 pixels or so.

My Html is this:

<div id="newsboxleft">
<div id="newsboxright"></div></div>

My CSS is this:

#newsboxleft { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: -187px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxleft.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}

#newsboxright { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 373px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxright.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}


I hope someone can help. Thanks.

hi,

Im making a site, and i decided to use CSS instead of tables. I have used basic CSS before, but it gets abit harder when i start making boxes etc.

Here is my code so far -

layout.css - (one that gets included on each page)

Code:

@import "style.css";
	
body {
	margin:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	padding:0px;
}
	
#leftcontent {
	position: absolute;
	left:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#centercontent {
	
	background:#fff;
 		margin-left: 199px;
 		margin-right:199px;
	border:1px solid #000;		
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
  	margin-left: 201px;
  	margin-right:201px;
}

#shoutbox {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#rightcontent {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}
	
#banner, #footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-top:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-bottom:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#banner h1 {
	font-size:16px;
	padding:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
#shoutbox, #rightcontent p {
	font-size:10px
}

style.css - text formatting etc.

Code:

body {
	font:	12px/1.2 Tahoma;
	background:#ddd;
	padding:0px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
a {
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#c00;
}
	
pre {
	font-size:11px;
	color:blue;
}
	
ol {
	margin-right:40px;
}
li {
	margin-bottom:10px;
}

p,h1,pre {
	margin:0px 10px 10px 10px;
}
		
h1 {
	font-size:14px;
	padding-top:10px;
}

it produces a good layout, with a header, 3 coloums and a footer. whoever, the boxes expand at different rates and the footer doesnt move down. the header also doesnt expand. i know how i can fix this, but i dont know how to fix it without making it so that its locked at a resolution. i would like the site to exapand as the window is made larger.

here is an image of what i get -



and this is what i am aiming to acheive -



as you can see, i want all the boxes to be the same length, which is defined by the size of the largest box. also, i want to create 2 or more boxes on the left, only the bottom of which gets made longer. on the first image you cannot see the extra box because it is covered by the other one :-/

i would be greatful for any help you guys can provide me

thanks,

Hi this is my first post. I'm having trouble making a horizontal navbar with a picture background.
here is the vertical menu.

replace (dot)s with period

I want to make the buttons next to each other, but with about 10px space in between them.

Thanks.

I'm pretty new to CSS so bear with me if this is a silly question.

I want to go totally CSS and 0 tables. 1 problem that I've been having with my site is that I have several forms for data entry. These are of course done in 2 column tables, label in the 1st column, text box in the right.

The problem I'm having is that I cannot get the text boxes to line up properly using CSS. I am trying a test page simulating a login page. But since the words Username and Password are different lengths, the left edges of the text boxes don't line up evenly.

What is the best technique to get CSS to display 2 columns like a 2 column table where the first 'column' contains a text label and the 2nd column has the input boxes aligned nice and neat?

i have got two areas created with css one above the other but there is a large white gap between i have tried playing arond with the CSS file but cant gt them closer together im still only learning css but i thought id be able to do this.... if someone could advise that would be really great...

here is the page so you can see what is happeneing
http://www.justtaps.com/test/admintemplate.php

and this is a link to the css file

thanks in advanced to anyone who replies..

i have two css boxes on the company lan, and for one person the two boxes wont appear? is this a problem with internet explorer?

I am trying to color in radio boxes itself, ( example where I want to use it he http://scygro.ath.cx/index.php?option=customize ) but somehow I cannot figure out how to do this. I would like a proper result on both Internet Explorer and Mozilla?

Anyone know? I tried to search for this, maybe I'm just blind, but couldn't find anything, only how to color a little block on which the radio button is on top of, which needless to say didn't help much!

I am new to using CSS for more than just text, and I have run into a problem. What I want to do is to have an image with a margin of 3px around it. The problem occus with the background color and border in Mozilla (Fire Fox). The box dosn't fit around the image properly. Does anyone have an idea why this is?
