CSS - Layers, Remove Empty Space Below
Hi
I have a page that looks something like this Code: <style> #container { border: solid 1px #000000; width: 600px; padding: 10px; } #banner { height: 200px; width: 600px; background-color: #FF0000; font: bold 20px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #layer { position: relative; top: -198px; height: 196px; width: 150px; z-index: 1; left: 2px; background-color: #FFFFFF; } </style> <div id="container"> <div id="banner">Hello</div> <div id="layer">This is a layer</div> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. </p> </div> If you view that site, you will see that there is an empty space below the banner-div, which is reserved for the layer. I need to get rid of that empty space, in other words, I want the text to begin right after the banner-div. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? Using relative positioning for the text is not possible, because of the structure of the rest of the page (which I haven't pasted here). [edit] Floating the layer will work partially, the text will begin right below the layer, but there is still an empty space on the left side of the text - that has to go too. [/edit] All help is appreciated. Thank you in advance - Kimppa Similar TutorialsHi there, Not entirely sure this is a CSS issue, but something tells me it is... I'm getting a weird space at the top of my pages in IE, which consequently causes the header to not align properly with the header background image. It works just fine with FireFox though. You can view the issue he http://hsdc.groundedgroup.com/ Does anybody know how to remove this space? Thanks in advance. http://www.thegi.net/tree/retail.htm I'm taking a Photoshop layout and turning it into HTML for a friend of mine. I just started the HTML process and am having issues right off the bat. NOTE: Pardon the semi-complete markup, I like to make small HTML documents locally to get the pieces to line up correctly and then I merge it with the final document template once it works. If you look at the above link in FireFox you will see everything lines up correctly, but in IE 7 (and maybe other browsers, I haven't gone that far yet) you will see gaps below the top set of divs and above the bottom set of divs. I have tried setting the margins and padding to 0 with no luck. Any ideas? Edit before posting: ACK! I solved it in IE by adding a DOCTYPE. Guess quirks mode made it render stupid. Is there anything I should be aware of here regarding this issue? Any pointers or gotchas I should look out for? I am a hell of a PHP developer, CSS is my weak point =) EDIT AGAIN! I am also going to move the styles into an external sheet once I get it working. I have the following code. I realize some of you are going to cringe when you see the tables in the div tags. This application was completely tables a few months ago and I have nearly completed the switch to divs.. but this page is a generated page that is customizable and I haven't had the time to spend on converting it. unfortunately I cannot give a link to this page. I've believe I've slimmed this down to only the relevent code. The extra space occurs after the outerImageTable's content. If I set the outerImageTable's background color then the extra space also changes colors so it is part of the outerImageTable. note: There would actually be multiple instances of the innerImageTable each representing a tab. Code: <div id="content" class="ParentDivBrowse"> <div id="subContent" class="ChildDiv"> <div class="outerImageTable"> <div class="innerImageTable"> <img src="/XXXXYYYY/images/leftselected.bmp" /> <button class="XXXXTabSelected" tabindex='-1' type="submit" name="DLG1_T801_MAIN" value="0" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> Mainn </button> <img src="/XXXXYYYY/images/rightselected.bmp" /> </div> </div> <div style="float:left;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan='2' valign="middle"> <table class='XXXXDlgTable'> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="60%"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="XXXXActionTable"> <tr> <td class="XXXXActionTable"> <table class='XXXXActionWidthFix'> <tr align='center'> <td width='0'></td> <td align='center' class='ActionButtons'> <button title='Clear' onMouseOver="Clear_img.src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/shadow/action_clear.png'" onMouseOut="Clear_img.src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/plain/action_clear.png'" onClick='buttonClick(this)' id='button_Clear' name='Clear' tabindex='-1' value='Clear' type='submit'> <img vspace='0' width='16' height='16' name='Clear_img' src='/XXXXYYYY/images/actions/plain/action_clear.png'> Clear </button> </td> <td width='0'></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </div> Thanks if anyone can help me.

'997px' : '100%'); min-width:997px; max-width:100%; overflow:hidden; } .ChildDiv { position: relative; width: 100%; width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 997 ? '837px' : '100%'); } I am building this layout using strict xhtml and css. Now I run into a problem with the menu buttons. On Firefox they look just like they should. Though, Internet Explorer 6 adds an empty space between each button. See the example page and CSS. Basically, Internet Explorer adds that space under images. You can also see it under the header image. Any idea on how to fix it? I tried to add overflow: hidden; - it seemed to fix the issue with the header div, but did not make any effect in the list. Actually, in THIS case, as in the example page, I could make it without using images. Add text, borders and so on, which would probably fix the problem, but there are cases when I just want to use images. Both, Strict XHTML and CSS of the page are 100% valid. Thanks, Timo Thanks for taking the time to read my question I am starting to make a page, and for some reason I have a white space between two sections of my page. I don't know why. I don't have a domain for this page yet, so I've put it under my band domain. The space is between the Menu and the info portions of the page. Any ideas? http://www.pierced.ca/kelly/ css: Code: @charset "iso-8859-1"; body { text-align:center; margin-top: 10px; background-color: green; background-image: url(C:/Documents and Settings/McIntyBD.MAPLELEAF/Desktop/Kelly/images/fall-leaves.jpeg) /*background-color: #d8d8d8;*/ } #frame { width: 640px; text-align: center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: white; } #header { width: 640px; height: 100px; color: #A6A6A6; background-color: #b12514; padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 8px; /*border: medium solid #E0E0E0;*/ } #footer { width: 640px; height: 20px; background-color: #b12514; color: #A6A6A6; padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 8px; /*border: medium solid #E0E0E0;*/ } #menu { color: white; font-weight: bold; float: left; width: 100px; height: 400px; text-align: left; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 20px; background-color: #FD9800; /*border-left: medium solid #E0E0E0; border-right: medium solid #E0E0E0; border-bottom: medium solid #E0E0E0;*/ padding: 8px; line-height: 25px; } #menu a:visited { color:aqua; font-size: 12px; width: 84; } #menu a:hover { color:#005c00; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; width: 84; } #Menu a { color:yellow; font-size: 12px; width: 84; } #info { background-color: #ffc047; color: #005c00; height: 400px; padding-top: 20px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 8px; text-align: left; font-size: 16px; } #info p { text-indent: 12px; font-family: ZapfChan MdIt BT; letter-spacing: 4px; line-height: 25px } a:visited { color:#FFFF00; font-size: 12px; } a:hover { color:#FFFFFF; font-size: 12px; } a { color:#A0E5FF; font-size: 12px; } Hello. I have just finished migrating my vbulletin template to XHTML 1.1 strict and it validates just fine. The css shows 2 errors but they are known and have no effect on the display (effective for windows resizing). My question is why do I have ~500px of white space to the site of my http://forums.xedge.net ? I did a * { border: 1px solid red; } to see where the space lined up in the scheme of things and it looks like it's part of the main div (siteWrap). Code: /* *** This wrapper sizes the appearance of the entire site *** */ div#siteWrap { width: 95%; min-width: 770px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color: #606A8C; } siteWrap sets the page to render at 95% of the current window. I also have a div for contents which gives 15px to the left and right to give spacing for all following elements. In researching this problem I have read that percentage widths sometimes can be problematic with static paddings, but it was working at one time. I just can't figure out what I did wrong. The white space only appears in firefox, in ie and opera the site renders perfectly. Thanks. Check it out: http://www.wdoucette.com/awards/ Look at the part that looks like this: - link 1 - link 2 You can hover over the empy space after "link 1" and it clicks "link 1"! If I put a space before the "<br>" code after the link, the problem goes away. Know what causes it? (BTW, this is a site I'm creating for my father. It is unfinished.) First off, I apologize if my explanation is bad. Also, please refer to the link below. You will have to delete from the spaces from the URL because I was not allowed to post a url since I am a new user :/ http://img240. imageshack. us/my.php?image=forumexplanationje5.jpg This is what I want to do... I want to make a "table" in css. I want to make the "table" always be 890px. The css for the orange items would be .orange { margin:0px; padding:20px; } Now, I want the width of the orange items to be the width of the text in them + the padding. So basically the width is going to be dependant on the text in the tag. My problem is that I don't know how to make the blue part fill up the rest of space without knowing what the width of the orange part is. Please help, thanks.

Hi, I have a list inside a div section. However for some reason there is some space srounding this list. The div has a padding of 5px. I want to remove the space of the list so that the actual list is only 5px away from the div border. Here is some html and CSS code of what I did so far: Code: <html> <head> <style> #box { width: 200px; border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 5px; } #box ul li{ padding: 0; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="box"> <ul> <li>One</li> <li>Two</li> <li>Three</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> I also tried margin: 0px, however that was a disaster. And also tried clear:both but did not work either. Does anyone have any sugestions? thanks and regards, sim085 The website I created has a large blank space at the bottom. I want 30px between the bottom and the layout. At the top, I could create the space I want. Margin-bottom: 30px doesn't do the trick. I tried so many things but I just can't get it fixed. I think something is set too height or something? If someone could figure it out, I would be forever grateful! You can check out the site and css he I can't post the url because I'm a new user Can a mod post my url? EDIT: I have set the url as my homepage in my profile! Just click my username to check out the site. I'm having a "can't think" day. How would I get rid of the space(s) between the image icon and the <li> folder or file name on my test website? On the left-hand side of my test website, there is a directory tree listing. You'll see that php files are indicated with an php file icon for example. I don't want that much space between the file name and the file icon. Test website: www seemyinvestments dot com Ive seen a few topics about centering layers in browsers and it seems really complicated and often to specific to relate to my site. I used to use tables which were of course easy to center, but now at college we have to use layers (im working in design view im not a coder) and the teacher said try putting a layer in a layer and centering that but ive tried this and it doesnt work, i can get a layer in another layer, but not center it within it. This is the site im trying to do, i notice on cssvault.com cssbeauty.com most of the css sites (i know mines not really in css as such) are all centered and I was wondering how everyone does it? I went to the macromedia website and it said you can use an extension which works but for some reason it doesnt let you edit the site once you have centered it. Basically is there a simple way for me to center my site or is it really complicated? I wonder why we are learning in layers when tables center easily and move relative to each other How many layers or z-indexes can you reasonably use on one page? I'm thinking mostly IE here, since that is the browser I will be working with. For instance, you design a bunch of tabs - at least 24, and have a a span or div below those tabs that contain checkboxes and text preceeding each check box, for each tab on its own layer. Maybe a maximum of 40 checkboxes/text per layer. Clicking each tab will hide/unhide the appropriate layer of checkboxes/text in the div area. I know this may be better done axaj style, but for the sake of argument, what would you think is a maximum load for this scenario for a browser (latest IE) on a standard pc that may be up to 3 years old?
