CSS - Aligning The Left Navigation
Have a look at this and tell me what's causing the navigation not to align.
http://n.1asphost.com/wheelofgod/se...t/spokelist.asp Similar TutorialsHow does one align the text to the left of a div? I have "text-align:left;" specified, however the text is centered when it is too narrow to fill the screen. The URL of the page in question is http://what-is-what.com . If you type an illegal character, such as "=", in the Ask box then the narrow text that is returned appears centered. Other narrow pages on the same site do the same, of course. Tested in Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Ubuntu. In my footer I'm having a problem with my links aligning left. I'm not sure how I would go about coding it so that Promotional Kit aligns left underneath Headshot v2. I tried text-align: left in ul, li, and in the footer link section but nothing. I may need to change the layout all together which is fine, but I could use your help.

I am trying to align all the widgets for my wordpress theme to the left because my screen resolution is set to 2560 x 1440, they seem to wrap when my browser window is maximised. is there any way to stop this so that they stay underneath one another even when the screen is maximised? my website is at grandfunghi.com thanks in advance, J I am trying to line 4 div tags in a horizontal line. It's pretty much consists of 4 buttons on a horizontal panel. I can do this with a table with 4 columns. How do I do this with div tags? Thanks in advance. Hi guys I'm in the process of getting my site together, and it's coming along fairly well. I've been using Firefox for testing, and haven't noticed anything wrong. However, when I checked it in IE8, text that I have explicitly left-aligned is now sitting centred on my page. I have validated the code, and there are no problems. I'm just confused... Here is my code: Code: <span style="text-align:left;">Jarryd Pearson</span><br /><br /> <table align="left"> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Phone: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Mobile: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Email: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Postal Address: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table> And here's my CSS: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background: #0d1866; color: #CCCCCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; } a { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } paypal { border: none; } img.footer { border: none; width: 88px; height: 31px } td.contact { vertical-align:top; } tr.rule { padding: 0px; } /* DIVS */ div#main { padding: 2px; margin: 2px; } div#text { width: 650px; height: 370px; vertical-align: top; overflow: auto; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 10px; } I apologise if this has been posted before. I did a search, and couldn't seem to find this particular issue. If someone has already posted this, please point me in their direction! Thanks Jarryd I have a css menu navigation that I'm having problems with. I don't know why the menu bar is being pushed about 40px to the left. I want it to go further left. The total size of the menu bar is 960px. Please help me out...

I have implemented that using php sessions and am going to add cookies as well. I am able to make all the changes as I wanted except one. I want to be able to move the left navigation pane to the right. I have a table and inside the table I have two sub tables Currently: 1 table is for left navigation (size 200px) 2 table is for the text (size 600px) I want it to be changed so that table 1 prints first (left) and then table 2 prints (right to table 1) The dirty way of doing would be to check for the session variable with php and based on that draw a table. It will require me to write the same code twice (the only difference would be the alignment). I wonder if anyone knows of a smarter way of doing it possibly with css? (as I am calling two different css files based on the user selection. Thanks!!! I am a bit new to CSS and am currently in the process of converting a design over to CSS2 and have run into come difficulty. I've created a list based horizontal menu and I want elements to align to both the left and right ends. Simply by adding "float:left" to most of the elements and "float: right" to others, I was able to get it to work, but strangely only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. The latter seems to drop my right aligned image onto the next line. For the offending code, please see: http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/top_menu_v1.html http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/css/right_menu_v1.css Also, any suggestions on the code would be highly appreciated. I have no doubt its more verbose than needed. Hi. I'm reasonably new to tableless-design, and i've run into the common problem of aligning one bit of text to the left of a line and another to the right. I have searched the web and have found several means of achieving this, but in my case there is an image combined with a inline list (horizontal menu) that needs to be aligned left, and another combination of text and images to the right. | [image] text .... right-side text | This might seem rather simple, but it becomes more complicated: the entire block needs to be padded on the top in order for the text not to appear cramped up at the top, and the left-margin and right-margin of the image is then set to the corresponding negative values in order for it to still be displayed precisely in the top left corner. I have found this to be the only cross-browser compatible method. All the methods I have experimented with to align the two sides on left and right have either resulted in the image and text to be incorrectly (vertically) aligned or be displayed in different lines, even when the image is not used as part of the alignment-method. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx at cookcommons the left nav divs are not working in FF but seem to be working fine in IE 7. IE6 does something different as well. I broke the left nav into 3 divs. Basically like this: Nav2 div Link Link Link Nav2 div close Search div search Search div close Nav2 div Link Link Nav2 close And in FF everything under the search gets messed up and pushed up in FF. In IE 6 I think I just have to adjust a margin or padding to make it work. IE7 looks great! Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, I have a site with a left navigation bar (which is fixed width, and has a background colour that must stretch full screen from top to bottom of the page). The site is: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005/z.html Stylesheet: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005...s/style2005.css As you can see, the left navigation menu stops once the content within the div is displayed. It does not stretch to the bottom of the screen. (say if you're on 1024 x 768 resolution) Note: this varies according to the main (right) content. If the main content was shorter than the menu bar - it would work fine. The menu bar has a min-height of 100% which means the background applies to the size of your screen. However, if the main content height is greater than that of the menu bar - then the menu bar will not adapt, but the background simply stops. Is there a workaround for this? With tables, this could easily be achieved because the background colour of one cell is stretch until the end of the table, and not the content within the cell. However, I'd like to do this with CSS. Here's some CSS: Code: body, p { color:#666666 ; font-family: Verdana, Arial ; font-size:7.5pt ; font-weight:normal; } body { height:100%; margin: 0px; background-color: #2F201E; } #container { width: 968px; height:100%; } #nav { width: 201px; border-right: 3px solid #FFFFFF; background: #8D603B; float: left; min-height:100%; } I've tried switching "min-height" and "height" but they don't seem to do what I want.... if anyone could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks a lot! I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. Hi All, I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation; Code: <div id="navigation"> <ul id="navlist"> <li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li> <li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li> <li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a> <ul> <li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li> <li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li> <li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li> <li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li> </ul> </div> The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)? Here's some example HTML: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>
And the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }
I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE .. The main CSS: Code: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#e5e5e5; } #wrapper { width: 640px; height: 720px; margin-left:0; margin-top:0; border: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 0px solid gray; background-image:url(../images/banner.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:#c0c0c0; float:left; } #navigation { width: 640px; height: 22px; background-color:#c9c9c9; margin-top: 88px; } #insidewrapper { height:auto; width:99%; margin: 6px 1px 4px 1px; } /* Begin Left Side Info Boxes */ #sidebar { width:150px; height:600px; margin-left:2px; float:left; border:1px solid #666666; border-bottom:0px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; color:#666666; background-color:#ffffff; } .infobox { height:123px; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; padding:3px; border-top:0px; border-left:0px; border-right:0px; } .infopic { margin-top:9px; } .infobutton { height:20px; border-bottom:1px solid #666666; padding-left:3px; } /* Begin Main Content */ #maincontent { width:465px; height:593px; margin-left:158px; border:1px solid; border-color:#666666; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#333333; padding:3px; background-image:url(../images/background_trans2.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; background-color:#ffffff; } /* Main Content for pages with textual content */ #content { width:97%; height:auto; padding:5px; } /* Main Content for pages with products */ #productWrapper { height:auto; width:100%; margin-top:10px; } #productLeft { height:auto; width:115px; float:left; } #productMiddle { height:auto; width:200px; margin-left:1px; float:left; } #productRight { height:auto; width:auto; } /* Begin Footer */ #footerlinks, #footer { width:640px; height:auto; text-align:center; float:left; } #footerlinks { border-right: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; border-left: 2px solid gray; background-color:#c0c0c0; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; letter-spacing:1px; color:#555555; padding-bottom:4px; } #footer { margin-left:0; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:15px; padding-top:8px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 2px solid gray; border-left: 2px solid gray; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; color:#555555; background-color:#a9a9a9; } /* Begin Rightside Column */ #right { border: 1px solid orange; width:195px; margin-left:650px; padding-top:111px; } Hi, I have this page: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>New Page 1</title> <style type="text/css"> * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } p {padding: 0; margin: 0; } html {padding:0; margin:0;} .leftDiv { height: 100px; width: 30px; background-color: teal; float: left; } .mainDiv { padding: 5px 0 10px 0px; width: 200px; height: 20px; background-color: blue; } .mainPara { padding-left: 5px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="contentDiv" style="width: 700px; height: 700px;"> <div class="leftDiv"> </div> <div class="mainDiv"> <p class="mainPara"> First Para </p> </div> <div class="mainDiv"> <p class="mainPara"> Second Para </p> </div> </div> </body> </html> And have two questions.

I was just wondering if someone could help me with the correct tag. Hi I have an issue aligning some links. i have it perfect in FF but it is not the same in IE. http://www.sun-awnings-direct.co.uk/the-carino-p-29.html It is the white breadcruumb trail in question. Can anyone advise what IE is doing differently and how I can solve it? Thanks a lot |
