CSS - Stop The Page From "growing" When Making A Div Visable

I need a way to make a menu id be just as long as the content, no shorter or longer, by somehow "linking" the id's to make them both end at one point. An example would be some sites that have the main content really long and then the menu running right down the side, even if there is nothing in it. If you don't understand what I mean, please ask and I will either give an example or clarify.

(I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen).

I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen.

Example Picture

The site itself.

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ?


Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html).

Thank you

Hi,

I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser.

Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important.

I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML

Here is my Html

PHP Code:
<DIV id="nav"> 
              <ul>
                <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li>
                <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li>
                <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li>
                 <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li>
                <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li>
              </ul>
</div> 





Pretty straight forward, now my css


PHP Code:

Hello,

I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page...
------------------------
A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12pt;
font-weight:bold;}
-----------------------

but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks!

I'm not sure if we are allowed to post urls here or not, didn't see anything against it but I'm sure someone will inform me if we can or can't.

Anyways I'm having problems getting the "current" class to work for the active page. I want the current page to use the rollover id.

This is a code snippet that should be enough to figure out how I am doing my navigation. I am using a single image and shifting it depending on the state it's in.


CSS Code:
Original - CSS Code .nav1 {float:left; position:relative;display:block;} .nav1 li {margin:0px; padding:0px; display:inline;} .nav1 li a {height:30px; float:left; list-style:none;} a span { position: absolute; left: -999em; }/*This hides span text for when CSS is supported*/ #home a{ float:left; background-image: url(images/nav_main_1.png); display: block; height: 30px; width: 132px; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px -31px; } } #home a:hover, a.current{ background-image: url(images/nav_main_1.png); background-position: 0px 0px; } #news a{ float:left; background-image: url(images/nav_main_2.png); display: block; height: 30px; width: 131px; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px -31px; } #news a:hover, a.current { background-image: url(images/nav_main_2.png); background-position: 0px 0px; }

  

 .nav1 {float:left; position:relative;display:block;}


 .nav1 li {margin:0px; padding:0px; display:inline;}


 .nav1 li a {height:30px; float:left; list-style:none;}


 a span { position: absolute; left: -999em; }/*This hides span text for when CSS is supported*/


  


 #home a{


     float:left;


     background-image: url(images/nav_main_1.png);


     display: block;


     height: 30px;


     width: 132px;


     text-decoration: none;


     background-position: 0px -31px;


 }


  


 }


 #home a:hover, a.current{


     background-image: url(images/nav_main_1.png);


     background-position: 0px 0px;


 }


 #news a{


     float:left;


     background-image: url(images/nav_main_2.png);


     display: block;


     height: 30px;


     width: 131px;


     text-decoration: none;


     background-position: 0px -31px;


 }


 #news a:hover, a.current {  


     background-image: url(images/nav_main_2.png);


     background-position: 0px 0px;


 } 

html4strict Code:
Original - html4strict Code <ul class="nav1"> <li id="home" class="current"><a href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li id="news"><a href="#"><span>News</span></a></li> </ul>

  

 <ul class="nav1">


         <li id="home" class="current"><a href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li>


         <li id="news"><a href="#"><span>News</span></a></li>                    


 </ul> 

Any help is greatly appreciated, I would imagine I am missing something simple.

Hi Guys,

I'm building some forms, and when they are submitted, I'd like to integrate a method that will fade out the screen a bit, and show an animated "processing" .gif.

Basically when the "submit" button is pressed, the form is being submitted to it's destination. The page will hang on the form until the next page is ready to load. While it's hanging there after submitting, I'd like the screen to fade out, and display an image in the center of the screen.

I'm hoping this can be achieved with CSS, as I try to use as little Javascript as possible.

What's the best way to achieve this? I figure if anything a javascript "onsubmit" function will be a good start. Can the screen be faded with CSS?

Hi there,

I have xsl:
Code:

<div class="block">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <th>header1</th>
      <th>header2</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>text</td>
      <td>text</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>text</td>
      <td>text</td>
    </tr>
    <tr></tr>
  </table>
</div>

and css:
Code:

.block{
  page-break-inside: avoid;
}

but it's not working, this should prevent page break in the middle of that table, but it does not. If the table happens to be in middle of page break the end of the table is printed to the beginning of next page.

If I replace page-break-inside: avoid; with page-break-befo always; it does break before the table. So what wrong with page-break-inside, it should work, right? What am I missing..? I guess it's something stuped.. please, help me out, thanks!

I am trying to centre my web contents with the following code via css:

.fixcenter {
width: 775px;
margin: 0px auto;
background: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
}

It is working fine in both IE and Firefox.

Problem [FireFox Only]:
It center's the content in firefox, but when scroll bar appears, my contents jumps to left a little.
It looks bad that , contents jumps little left after loading.

Is there any solution:

that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently.

However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image.

If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall.

(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html

This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work?

Hi guys!

Let's say I have this IN BODY directly:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<ul id="menu">
...
</ul>

Or should I do it like this:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<div id="menu">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>

UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??)

Thank you

Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case,
which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature?
What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great.
Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links?
Thank you for any attention to this.
Ed

I have a very simple question:

I have this html code:
Code:

<div id="text">
<p><a>text</a></p>
<p><a class="red">text</a></p>
<p><a>text</a></p>
</div>

And this CSS style:
Code:

.red {  color: red;  }    
#text a{  color: blue;  }

I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side.
