CSS - What's Wrong With This Hypothetical Layout?
I've been looking around for a fixed-width, fluid three (or two)-column layout with a header and footer that extends throughout the container div.
I've seen some things that come close to what I'm looking to acheive, such as a template in the new Dreamweaver CS3, but most of them seem far too complicated to be worthwhile. Is this kind of layout not worth it because of too many bugs? Has anyone seen a stripped-down example of this? Similar TutorialsI am trying to acheve a 2 coulumn layout, but I keep getting problems wilt the side-box. I am designing this layout for a system where users can insert content, so I am not sure how much content will be added to the two boxes. I am trying to show what I want to acheve in a picture-file: http://www.student.uib.no/~st11920/...out_problem.gif No matter how I do it I cannot get the surrounding DIV to expand horisontally according to the fixed content DIV's height. It will gladly expand to the liquid sized one, but the other one wich I have positioned absolute will not affect the surrounding DIV. My guess is that this is the expected result. The HTML is he http://www.student.uib.no/~st11920/...divproblem.html But my question is how can I do what I want with CSS? I am developing a prototype site and have hand coded it using HTML 4.x as a base and CSS for styling However allthough the site runs fine on IE7, it does not load well on FF and Chrome. I know the browsers handle css differently but have no idea what code to change http://rich-carey.com/aufdw/ Any Ideas or pointers? 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">
<!--begin side column -->
<div id="sideColumn">

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. 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? Hi be gentle with me im new I am trying to put a backgroung image in my div the code i have used is below, in my styles file i have .backgroundbox { background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(backpat1.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:top; height:600px; width:900px; position:relative; background-position: top left; top: 0px; left:0px;} and in the body i have <div class="biggestcolumn" "backpat1" align="center"> if someone could please tell me what ive done wrong. This may not belong here. But it's about a CSS file, so I'll explain: I have css files in that are not having any effect. Using Firebug, I think I've narrowed the problem down to a server-side issue. Here are my headers: Request: Host: host User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 115 Connection: keep-alive Referer: https:/host/page Cookie: ...........

I've tried adding "AddType text/css .css" to the httpd.conf file. But that had no effect. Any suggestions? Hello all, I am completely new to web development and am trying to learn by building my own website. The issue I have run into is getting my css to work on my page. HTML: <html> <head> <LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> <title> The Shore Report </title> </head> <body> <img src="TheShoreReport.jpg" > <img src="Web Background.jpg" > </body> </html> CSS: body { background-color:#b0c4de; } Is there something wrong with my link or what? O.K. Here is my style sheet code ... Code: <style type="text/css">
channel-container
{
background-color:#66FF66;
width:500px;
margin:auto;
clear:both;
}
.channel
{
background-color:#CCFF00;
width:465px;
margin:auto;
}
.channel#
{
background-color:#99CC99;
width:35px;
margin:auto;
}
</style>
and here is some of the html .... Code: <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>A&E</div> <div style=channel#>118</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>ABC Family</div> <div style=channel#>180</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>America Live</div> <div style=channel#>219</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Angel One</div> <div style=channel#>262</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Angel Two</div> <div style=channel#>266</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Cartoon Network (East)</div> <div style=channel#>176</div> </div> <div class=channel-container> <div style=channel>Cartoon Network (West)</div> <div style=channel#>177</div> </div> Now believe me I know this is not aesthetically appealing ... However I am just trying to get a base layout where I have a container I can change the background color on, or alter as I wish in the future. Then I want the channel name to show up, with the channel number in a separate cell .. All easily changable at will through the CSS rule modifications. Can anyone tell me what it is I am doing wrong here ? I am getting no formatting at all with the code I am using. Have some problem with my css. Would appreciate some comments on how to do this: Here is the code: with explanation of what's not working: It's a small "complete" htm file..... Code:

Hi i'm using the html below, for some reason in Dreamweaver the two images in the two lower cells appear on the left, and the text on the top button is up the top of the table cell. Is my code creating a conflict somewhere that would cause this? When I open it in Firefox or IE it looks fine, its just looking weird in design mode. HTML Code: Original - HTML Code <table width="160" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#454545"> <tr> <td id="menubuttonselected">News</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2009</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2008</a></td> </tr></table> <table width="160" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#454545"> <tr> <td id="menubuttonselected">News</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2009</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="menubuttonsmall" align="center"><a href="">2008</a></td> </tr></table> with these style sheets: Code: #menubuttonsmall a { display:block; font: bold 14px/1 sans-serif; color:#000000; background: url("..//gfx//common/button_menu_sub.jpg") 0 0 no-repeat; text-decoration: none; height: 21px; padding-top: 10px; border-top: 1px; border-top-style: solid; width: 144px; margin: 0; text-align: center; }

Cheers, Mark Hi I am using an external stylesheet to try to format some text, but its not working. This is what is in my stylesheet? PHP Code: .small{ font-size: 11px; font-family: verdana, arial, tahoma;} I then used this: PHP Code: <span class="small"><font color="#000000">my text</font></span> But its not formatting it. Any ideas? I'm having issues with the HTML/CSS, only in IE, on the following page: http://www.datamonkeys.co.uk/webmail/webmail/log_in.php It looks ok in FF....It has something to do with the absolute/relative positioning, i think.... can anyone help me out here? thanks.. Hi I am trying to setup a left border on my tabs here, no matter what combination I try I cannot get a left border exactly like the others without giving the wholebox a full border (dont want this!!)

Screen Shot Here (not aloud to post URLS) --- >freeimagehosting.net/uploads/4e9d9acdf7.jpg Any help much appreciated!! Hello, I'm confused about how exactly to name classes in a specific situation. I'm getting unexpected results, and I'm not sure if it's browser support or my code. Does .classy a { something: something; } describe all anchors nested in an element with the class "classy"? Can I do that even? Or is it the same as .classy, a { something: something; } To describe two things that both have the same styles. Do I need comma's or is .classy .classless { something: something; } the same thing as .classy, .classless { something: something; } Thanks My site looks as expected in IE, but Netscape...Fotget it. I can't figure it out, i've been at it for a long time. goto www.eldore.com Thanks My site looks as expected in IE, but Netscape...Fotget it.

#nav a {float: none;} /* End IE5-Mac hack */
#nav a:hover {background-color: #eef; color: #ccc;
border-color: #eee #CCC #eee #ccc;}
</style>
and here is how it is being used in the html Code: <h1></h1> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="/render/">?</a></li> <li id="current"><a href="/newmed/">contact us</a></li> <li><a href="/photos/">about globalhotel</a></li> <li><a href="/design/">my account</a></li> <li><a href="/webdev/">hotels</a></li> </ul> <div id="main"> <p> Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

#menu a {display:block; border-bottom:solid black 1px; font-weight:bold; text-align:left; padding:0em; margin:0em;}
#menu ul, #menu li{ margin:0em; padding:0em; }
#menu {list-style-type:none; width:100%; float:left; padding:0em; margin:0em; margin-bottom:1.5em;border:1px solid black;}
#menu ul {list-style-type:none;}
#menu li { position:relative;}
This css looks great in IE, but in netscape, etc. its fubared. the positioning of the #leftcolumn is wayy out in the middle of the page instead of aligned like it should be and the right column is below the left column. Code:
