CSS - Css And "roll-over" Images.

(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,

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:
#nav

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

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?

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.

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

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

I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Code:

<td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td>

.loginbox
{
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #9AA8C3;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 11px;
color: #40668C;
}

http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.).

The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly.

I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too.

The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this.

Thanks.

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,

I'm still new to CSS and have been learning for the past couple of days now. I'm having trouble getting a two-column layout working correctly. Using the faux method, I have a background set so the right-column has a different background color. This works fine. But I'm having trouble placing the elements inside of the container to work correctly.

When the left-column has more content than the right, instead of the container (and thus the background) moving to fit it, the column just extends down by itself. However if the right column has more content than the left, it works correctly. I think it might be because of the float: left, but I'm still new and not exactly sure what the problem is.

The URL to view this is http://serve5.net/extend/ - the CSS is right in the source for you to look at. Could someone point me in the right direction as far as getting the left-column to extend down correctly?

It seems to work fine in Internet Explorer - but I use Mozilla Firefox and it's having this issue. However, in Mozilla, the left-column's background extends to the border fine, but in IE, it overlaps it. What can I do to fix this also?

Thanks.

I want to change the "flashing cursor" color in an input field in my css.

This field has a dark background, the text over it is white but when you click in it, the flashing cursor is darkgray an almost invisible.

Look in my login and password box, you will understand:
http://www.jeudebourse.com.

I'm mostly speaking in French and I don't know what is called this cursor. I don't mean the mouse pointer but the cursor that is flashing in the field to indicate your position in this field.

Thanks.
