CSS - Trouble Positioning Menu Next To Image... Unwanted Break
Hey guys,
Here's my problem: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/ Basically I want the menu in the rounded rectangle area, not underneath (outside) of it. You can see what's happening in the URL. If I use a span tag instead of a div in the head_content class, the background (the right corner of the rounded rectangle) doesn't show. I'm not sure what's going on here because in my HTML I'm putting the <ul> tags right after the logo image, so I would think that it would sit next to the logo and not underneath it. I'm just confused as this is my first attempt at doing a tableless design. Here's my css: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/main.css and the HTML: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/index.html Thanks in advance! Dustin Similar TutorialsHello! I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but I've trialed-and-errored it enough and it's time to seek help! I'm trying to adjust the location of the "main menu" on this page he http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/hasbrodb/welcome.php Currently, it is set in reference to the side of the browser in this CSS code: Code: .menuContainer { position: absolute; top:113px; right:210px; margin: 10px; margin-top: 50px; } I've tried making the position relative but it really whacks out the page when I do that. I want to make it relative to the border of the content so that no matter what size resolution or if the browser is minimized it stays fixed and doesn't float left. I was able to do this to the links directly above it, but the same thing doesn't seem to work for this. Here's the code for the 'advanced' and 'login' links: Code: #header ul.headerLinks { list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 95px; white-space: nowrap; } Thanks for any suggestions anyone comes up with! I've been developing a content management system, and one of the final things I have to clean up is a stylesheet problem involving the float property. I'm trying to position two boxes next to each other id: menu and id: content, but until I set the width property on content it would drop beneath menu. I want the content box to fill any remaining space to the right of the menu, with appropriate padding and spacing and such. Can anyone help make suggestions as to the best way of achieving this? Here is some of my css code which is also viewable on the website which is located at: 8< snip >8 Code: #container { margin: 1em 4em 1em 4em; /* width: 750px; dynamic width */ text-align: left; background: #FFFFCC; border: 2px solid black; } #menu { float: left; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; width: 150px; display: inline; } #content { float: right; width: 20em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; /* margin-left: 170px; */ padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; border-left: 2px solid black; height: 100%; } Thanks for trying to help, I've been getting really frustrated trying to get css to work in both ie and firefox. BTW: I've been finding the Web Developer firefox extension very helpful for this kind of work. tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.html tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.css For some reason, it refuses to rollover... in the actual site I've tried implementing it, all of them come up in the secondary start (black text, blue bg) rather than the default state (white text, transparent bg). Neither times does it actually "rollover". What am I doing wrong? Code from: webvamp[.]co[.]uk/blog/coding/graphical-css-rollover-menu/#example I would like to align left images so that they touch against each other. Here is a capture of my problem. dollhedz.com/test [CODE] <style type="text/css"> body{ background-color:#000033; color:#00cc33; } #wrapper{ background-color:#000000; margin:15px auto 0px; width:700px; height:800px; } #sitenav{ background-image:url(sitegrax/sitenavback.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; height:55px; padding-left:213px; border: 0px; margin:0px; text-align:left; } #one{ float:left; text-align:left; align:left; margin:0px; padding:0px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="banner"><img src="sitegrax/banner.jpg" alt=" yellow Jacket dodging a 355 smoothbore slug" border="0" /> </div> <div id="sitenav" > <div id="one"><a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_game_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation games" border="1" /></a> <a href="" align="left"><img src="sitegrax/bt_history_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation history" border="1" /></a> <a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_pilot_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation pilot"border="1" /></a></div> </div> </div> </body> </code> Problem: There is a 5 to 6 pixel space between each image that I would like gone. The 1px border around each image is there to show the edge of each image. thank you for your time Hi, I learned css a couple of years ago but am real rusty...anyways, here is an image that i wanted as the background to the top of the page. in the white space, i simply want a horizontal menu with 4 links. i cannot figure out how to position my links in that space correctly. any help appreciated!

How can I eliminate this behavior? I added a margin-left: 1px to the menu and that will render it correctly in Opera but have an extra 1px of whitespace everywhere else. Problem 2: I'm trying to position this menu such that it lines up exactly with an image 243px high. One question I have is that if I add a 1px top and bottom border to an image that is 243px high, would that object still be 243px high or now 245px high? Also, I want to indent the menu options slightly so that they aren't exactly next to the image but I still need the entire bar to serve as a link. What would be the best approach to line up these objects. I can sort of do it with margin-top but I'm sure that's not the best way to go. Edited to add: Problem 3: The menu does not align with the left edge of the main section in IE and only IE. What can I do to fix this? I have a CSS, drop-down navigation menu for my company's site, at the top of every page: http://www.mediamogulsweb.com/. It works fine in Firefox and IE6. At first it seems to work in IE7. But if you mouse over the pop-out menus a few times, you'll notice that every so often the menu breaks (in IE7). My guess is that it has to do with the display property set for the embedded unordered lists in the menu. But I have "display" set to "none", so it seems like I shouldn;t be having this problem. Can anyone help? thanks... In the header section design, I have three parts. Menu; upper left, gallery; lower left and Logo right. So in my stylesheet, I created three parts. The problem I am having is logo is not centered as in the design (check the attachment). I could not figure why not. Looking for suggestions. http://www.refinethetaste.com/AT/ I'm having trouble with creating a nav bar in css. The code I'm using is this for the html: Code: <div id="wrap"> <div id="nav"><a id="home" href="#" title="home"><span>home</span></a> </div> </div> <div id="bottom"></div> </div> and this for the css: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { overflow:hidden; padding:0; border:0; margin-left:50%; color: #000000; line-height: 100%; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-indent: 0cm; background-image: url('bg.png'); background-position: top center; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat:repeat-x; } #bottom { position:absolute; height:100%; width:100%; background-image:url('lbg.png'); background-position:bottom center; background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:no-repeat; margin-left:-340px; } #wrap { background-color: #FFFFFF; border-color: #660000; border-style: double; position:absolute; width:900px; height:750px; margin-left:-450px; } #nav { height:50px; } #home { display: block; width: 226px; height: 50px; background: url("home.gif") no-repeat 0 0; } #home:hover { background-position: 0 -50px; } #home span { display: none; } The button shows up but only half the link works! And I have put in other bottons to the right of it and they don't work at all... can anyone help pls? thank you. I have a 3 column layout: 1st -> 350px, 2nd -> 500px, 3rd -> remainder of containing div. In the 2nd div, I have 15 pictures arranged to form the letter R, each picture is 100x100 px. I am not using absolute positioning. I want the first and second column to have a background color of black that is 100% the height of the viewport. The middle column should have a white background and be 100% height. The problem is, the margins I am using for the pictures is throwing things off and I'm not sure how to fix it short of not arranging the pictures the way I want. Is there another way to arrange them to achieve the R shape? Code: <div id='container'> <div id='first'></div> <div id='second'>All of the images are loaded here.</div> <div id='third'></div> </div> Code: #img1, #img2, #img3, #img4, #img5, #img6, #img7, #img8, #img9, #img10, #img11, #img12, #img13, #img14, #img15, #img16, #img17, #img18, #img19, #img20 { display: block; border: 3px solid #B8860B; width: 100px; height: 100px; } #img1, #img2, #img3, #img4, #img5 { margin-left: 10px; } #img1 { margin-top: 60px; } #img2 { margin-top: 10px; } #img3 { margin-top: 10px; } #img4 { margin-top: 10px; } #img5 { margin-top: 10px; } #img6 { margin-top: -590px; margin-left: 125px; } #img7 { margin-top: -136px; margin-left: 240px; } #img8 { margin-top: -76px; margin-left: 355px; } #img9 { margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 380px; } #img10 { margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 355px; } #img11 { margin-top: -87px; margin-left: 240px; } #img12 { margin-top: -125px; margin-left: 125px; } #img13 { margin-top: 30px; margin-left: 305px; } #img14 { margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 365px; } Im having issues positioning a div that contains a background image. The idea is to have the image positioned in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I get it there, but then the problem is that the image floats to the height of the div it contains. i need it to just be in the bottom right hand corner. how can I do this? here is the page, im so embarrased to have to ask this but i swear, the CSS people could not have made this more confusing if they tried. http://www.doublethinkdesigns.com/main.php I have a problem that I've been wrestling for the past hour and a half, and I've come to the conclusion that I will most likely never solve it on my own, so here I am. I have a header area of a website. It has a logo(basically the name of the website in a fancy font). The logo is in the bottom-left area of the header. I also have a banner. This banner can be anywhere from 468x60 to 728x90 pixels in dimension, depending on user input from a back end. I want the banner positioned near the bottom-right of the header, with a bit of space in between it and the right edge of the browser window. I'm having a lot of trouble accounting for the varying banner sizes. I can't use margins and floats to position the banners because the banner image size changes, therfore I thought it would be a good idea to use absolute positioning (relative to the header). This works perfectly, except when I resize the window, the banner overlaps the logo image. So, I guess I can't use absolute positioning. My HTML is: Code: <body> <div id="header"> <div id="header_ads"> <?php display_banner() ?> </div> <h1 id="heading"><span class="invisible">This is the heading</span></h1> </div> </body> My CSS is: Code: * {margin:0;padding:0;} body {width:100%} .invisible {visibility:hidden;} /*Header*/ #header {margin-bottom:3em;background-color:rgb(80, 80, 82);padding:0 0 0.2em 0;height:8em;width:100%;position:relative;} #header #heading {background:url("../images/logo.jpg") no-repeat;height:70px;width:400px;position:absolute;top:1.6em;left:1em} #header_ads {float:right;margin-top:-1.5em;margin-right:1em;position:absolute;bottom:0.3em;right:4em} The above CSS/HTML yields the exact desired result, but does strange things when the browser window is resized... I would greatly appreciate any help! I am trying to allow a right aligned image break out of my footer. So far it's just breaking out, but under rather than over. I.e: Code: #footer { clear:both; width:100%; /* green bg footer image */ background-image: url(../img/footer_bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; } Code: <img style='float: right' src='src/to/pizza-pic.png' /> What I'm trying to achieve is to have the green footer at the bottom of the page and the pizza to appear in at the bottom also, but peeping over the green footer. Do you know how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance for any help Aloha, I am trying to change the way a page on my site is printed. Currently, I have a Google ad that is far enough down the page that it causes too much content to be pushed to page 2. I know I should post a link to the page, but I am still developing it and I only have it on my laptop rght now. Here are two screen clips from my print dialog that should illustrate the problem clearly: print1.jpg print2.jpg How do I allow the printer to go ahead and split the image in two putting the top part of the image at the bottom of page 1 and the bottom of the image part on page 2? TIA, Thad Hi, I got the menu the working the way I want, except I can't get the last two on the menu to be bold becasue they are like Multimodal Corridor Planning, a category with articles under it. Here is the link: http://www.greatstreetsstlouis.net/...d=32&Itemid=204 I just need to get Site Planning to be bold, and then Choices & Guidelines. I have to use CSS as well, becasue the menu is done through Joomla and is dynamic. I need those last two titles to behave the same way when clicked on like Multimodal Corridor Planning does. Thank you.

My site works fine in Firefox 3 of course not sure about IE 7 but in IE 6 the menus bar links are not dropping down ie About Us, Services ect. What did I miss? Site Link Matt Hi, I've been at this for some time now. Currently building a site (development address: mainline.divsharp.com). Menu (left) was Javascript, its now CSS. Works fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE 8, but IE 7 is acting extremely strange. You can see the desired effect if you use a recent version of one of those browsers. When I pull it up in IE 7 on the homepage, I can't hover over the popup like I can in the other, more compliant browsers. It either hides the pane as soon as the mouse gets off the main menu link, or when the mouse leaves the picture once its over the pane. If I then click on, say, "Market Watch" and try to view the menu on an interior page, its even more erratic. I'm about at the end of what I know or can look up how to do here.. If I can get the mouse over some part of the popout pane, it seems that if its over the content area of a div and not padding or margins, it stays open. For example, over the picture or over the grey area to the right... This might suggest something to someone.. Unfortunately, the markup is clogged at best and my style is all over the place. Site is built in Wordpress and is a custom theme. Hopefully this will help: Home page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/style.css Interior page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/interior.css In those stylesheets, there isn't much discernible organization, but the pieces relating to this problem are near the id's labeled menu_bg in the middle and at the very bottom is where the hover effects are. The popout is achieved like this: Code: <li id="popout_hov"> <div id="popout">code for menu pane</div> </li> #popout_hov #popout { visibility: none; } #popout_hov:hover #popout { visibility: visible; } Thanks. Hi, I'm breaking my head over IE6.0: adjusted this page and it now works at least in IE 5.0, 5.5, Opera, Firefox but in IE6.0 the damn thing doesn't align vertical in a right way and the menu doesn't scroll with the page anymore. Anybody who can tell me what's upsetting IE6.0? I don't have a clue no more. Cheers, Ziggy |
