CSS - Where Can I Learn How To Make Graph Boxes?

Hello:

I'm trying to place two drop down boxes at the right of my page.

When I view the pages in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they are so far off.

You can view the page yourself by visiting:

I've tried changing widths, margins, etc and am having no luck.

I can use some help. I hope someone can help me out.

Thank you.

hi,

Im making a site, and i decided to use CSS instead of tables. I have used basic CSS before, but it gets abit harder when i start making boxes etc.

Here is my code so far -

layout.css - (one that gets included on each page)

Code:

@import "style.css";
	
body {
	margin:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	padding:0px;
}
	
#leftcontent {
	position: absolute;
	left:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#centercontent {
	
	background:#fff;
 		margin-left: 199px;
 		margin-right:199px;
	border:1px solid #000;		
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
  	margin-left: 201px;
  	margin-right:201px;
}

#shoutbox {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}

#rightcontent {
	position: absolute;
	right:10px;
	top:50px;
	width:200px;
	background:#fff;
	border:1px solid #000;
}
	
#banner, #footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-top:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#footer {
  background:#fff;
	height:40px;
	border-bottom:1px solid #000;
	border-left:1px solid #000;
	border-right:1px solid #000;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family: inherit;
	height:39px;
}

#banner h1 {
	font-size:16px;
	padding:10px 10px 0px 10px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
#shoutbox, #rightcontent p {
	font-size:10px
}

style.css - text formatting etc.

Code:

body {
	font:	12px/1.2 Tahoma;
	background:#ddd;
	padding:0px;
	margin:0px;
}
	
a {
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:bold;
	color:#c00;
}
	
pre {
	font-size:11px;
	color:blue;
}
	
ol {
	margin-right:40px;
}
li {
	margin-bottom:10px;
}

p,h1,pre {
	margin:0px 10px 10px 10px;
}
		
h1 {
	font-size:14px;
	padding-top:10px;
}

it produces a good layout, with a header, 3 coloums and a footer. whoever, the boxes expand at different rates and the footer doesnt move down. the header also doesnt expand. i know how i can fix this, but i dont know how to fix it without making it so that its locked at a resolution. i would like the site to exapand as the window is made larger.

here is an image of what i get -



and this is what i am aiming to acheive -



as you can see, i want all the boxes to be the same length, which is defined by the size of the largest box. also, i want to create 2 or more boxes on the left, only the bottom of which gets made longer. on the first image you cannot see the extra box because it is covered by the other one :-/

i would be greatful for any help you guys can provide me

thanks,

Im trying to replicate the vertical navigation style that is used on the Mozilla Firefox Website (as seen to the left). I have sucessfully done this useing images, with the exclusion of a space problem between the items and the end images in FireFox. I am using the strict.dtd and am frustrated with this problem. Iff anyone can help me create a nav with this style that would be wonderful. Here is the css im using:

Code:

.cssnavend	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 9px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav	{
	position:relative;
	font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
	background-image: url(images/but-over.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	display: block;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	margin: 0; 
	margin-bottom:0px;
	padding: 0;
}
.cssnav a {
	display:block;
	font-size: 11px;
	width: 209px;
	height: 31px;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	color: #096CCE; 
	text-decoration: none; 
}
.cssnav img {
	width: 100%; 
	height: 100%;
	border: 0;
}
.cssnav a:hover{
	color: #000;
	}
* html a:hover {
	visibility:visible
}
.cssnav a:hover img{
	visibility:hidden
}
.cssnav span {	
	position:absolute;
	left:7px;	
	top:7px;	
	margin:0;	
	cursor: pointer;
	}
#box {
	margin-top: 10px;
	padding: 0;
	width: 209px;
	display: block;
	}
#boxtop {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxcontent {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
}
#boxbottom {
	width: 209px;
	height: 11px;
}
#boxtext {
	width: 209px;
	background: #DFE5EB;
	padding: 2px;
}

The following code is me testing my css. The first group is useing the cssnav styles. The 2nd group is using the box styles. The 3rd group is a try at making a content box with rounded corners that is a spacific width. Unfortunatly, the content of the box will not wrap to the width of the box, instead it continues on 1 line and outside the box.

Code:

<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-top.jpg"></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnav"><a href="phpbb/index.php" target=_blank><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
<div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-bot.jpg"></div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/but-top.jpg></div>
	<div content="boxcontent">
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div>
		<div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/but-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

<br><br>

<div class="box">
	<div class="boxtop"><img src=images/box-top.jpg></div>
	<div class="boxcontent">
		<div class="boxtext">This is some text inside of the box. This text should wrap and be padded.</div>
	</div>
	<div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/box-bot.jpg></div>
</div>

Thank you all who help.

My boxes line up horizontally perfectly in Firefox but not in IE7 (not suprisingly).

Because of the rules I can't show you the link but the html places two boxes side by side lined up so that they are the same distance from the top. It looks right in Firefox but IE7 drops the right box about 10 pixels or so.

My Html is this:

<div id="newsboxleft">
<div id="newsboxright"></div></div>

My CSS is this:

#newsboxleft { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: -187px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxleft.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}

#newsboxright { margin: 10px auto;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 373px;
width: 350px;
height: 142px;
background: url(../images/newsboxright.jpg) repeat-x top;
border-top: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 0px;
clear: both;
}


I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Hi

I am creating a new site for a friend in Wordpress

ilovelifebecause.com

I can usually muddle through in css to make changes, but i'm stumped at the moment.

What I am trying to do is swap around the two cream coloured boxes so the larger one is on the right, the thinner one on the left and the blue box in the middle still. I've tried a number of things in the css file but can't seem to find the right method - can anyone help?

many thanks in advance
Paul

Hey -

So I have a page with a disabled multiple select box, which is automatically populated with the relevant selected value. In Firefox, you can still see the value that's been automatically selected even though it's disabled. But in IE, you can't. Is there a way to make IE show that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. im used to using tables for things like this, trying to get it all into css, im having a little trouble creating like module boxes,

My problem is getting very frustrating been trying to fix it for ages, and its probably something simple but if i dont fix it soon my laptops going to find a river very quickly.
I have a site using CSS(duh!) and when i highlight over a link on the site some of my text moves around. then when i highlight over my javascript drop down menu it moves back. its very strange.
heres the link to one of the worse pages for jumping. http://zephyr-wgtn.co.nz/newsite/eventS.aspx
Any help much appreciated.

I came across this site with a google search. I have been trying to make a website for my new business and I've been trying to learn CSS. Everything went fine until I tested resolutions out yesterday, I noticed they changed. I've been trying to place a text box in middle of an image but I can't get it to work correctly... a perfect example of what I'm trying to achieve is found he http://www.myspace.com/nourotika

I have tried and tried and this is the website that came closest to my problem...

My code would be:

Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
   background-color: #000;
}
-->


</style></head>


<body><center>
<p style="position: absolute; top: 735px; right: 314px; width: 537px; padding: 4px; background-color: #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; font-xolor: #F00; height: 548px; color: #909; overflow: visible; z-index: 1;">content goes here</p>
</div>

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t108/Katouuffxi/regular.jpg
This would be the regular resolution I'm looking for

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t108/Katouuffxi/resproblem.jpg
And this would be my screen resolution problem Sad

I really don't know how in the world to do it and I'm just so close from finishing everything... help would be much much appreciated.

I know, this sounds like an AJAX question, but I don't think thats the solution. I have created a layout:
http://www.cabinincanada.com/script/

The problem is, that I want to be able to click on the About us button, and have it load into the content box where the posts are. I could just create a second page, copying the HTML and making the changes, but isn't this defeating the purpose of CSS? I would then have to go through and update all my links on both pages if I made changes. How do I load content into a box from an external web-page?

Hi
I have these boxes which displays correctly in IE but when I view it in FF, the bottom grey line is gone

Can someone someone give pointers as to whats happening

Hi, I'm still trying to learn CSS. Using CSS instead of tables really increases the versatility of the page, but, don't the graphics suffer? I'm trying to make a 3column layout which resizes according to the resolution. I've made it, but IMO it would look more appealing if I could make the corners curved as in... the menu box corners and the content space corners. Is there anyway to do this?

I am new to using CSS for more than just text, and I have run into a problem. What I want to do is to have an image with a margin of 3px around it. The problem occus with the background color and border in Mozilla (Fire Fox). The box dosn't fit around the image properly. Does anyone have an idea why this is?
