CSS - Omitting Img Dimensions
im now omitting dimensions on some floating images and use easy clearing stuff on it...it seems to work but is this bad?
or maybe theres better ways or something Similar Tutorialshi, i was studying how to make layouts in css and was recommended to read this website http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/basic4.html I learned a new thing from this, to use TOP, LEFT and RIGHT, for side bars. I used to use clear:both and float:left to make similar layout before. anyway, i was facing a problem with one of my recent practice work where the same padding, height, margin shows different height of the div. Even this website has this problem. If you open the same in FF and IE together and see both closely you will see the difference height and width of divs, especially left. In FF it is more than IE. how can we overcome this problem? because I checked skype.com in FF and IE at the same time and had a close look, but there is NO difference between div height or width, it means it is doable. Any wise words are much appreciated. Media Example of the site BEFORE-HAND using Tables when viewed at 1280x1024. [Content Table Boxes Adjustable By Window Size] Image File HERE Since this archived picture version the following major changes have occured : -- Removal of Tables in Favor of full CSS/DIV -- Removal of PNG borders in favor of JavaScript/CSS Ones (Custom Coded) -- Additional box beside the main content box. -- W3C XHTML 1.1 Validatable. Site Package (Includes CSS, HTML and JScripts) Site Package HERE Issues Firefox * Content overFlows for content when window is resized too small. * Table width's are ignored (example : tIcon is set for width:32px yet expands/contracts) * <br /> tag induces too much space (adjusting line-height is a sloppy fix + causes IE to bug) IE 6 * Float bugs exist when window is resized too small. & MANY insane bugs insue as a result of the float bugs shifting content. * Main Box does not assume full 100% available space when no content is present Both * Header Content + Background Dissapears when horizontal scrollbars are used * Alternate DIV ONLY fix needed for grid layout (instead of the table I slid in) * Less absolute position approachs needed. (complicates strecthable atmosphere slightly) * Float should be replaced with display:inline (if possible -- I can't figure out how.) Comments I've tried almost everything I can think of to fix these and I am quite new to CSS/DIV structured sites. I would VERY MUCH appreciate any help that can be offered. At the moment, my target browsers are IE6 and Firefox. The title might seem like an oxymoron, but here follows what I want to do, for a navbar I am making, where the links are divided into categories, each with their own header div, I do not want those header divs to be visible unless there is any content (text) in them, but at the same time, if there is content in them, I want them to take specific dimensions. Is there a way to achieve this? That is, either do not appear at all, but if it is to appear, it is to be a certain specified height and width. The min- and max width/-height's do not do the trick here, however I suspect I am far from the first to want to do this so there ought to be a hack or solution of some sort. Maybe I should add that it is only the height that is an issue here really. I want it to be 19px lest not appear at all. My layout is not liquid. everything is fixed position. If the veiwer adjusts his text size in his browser then part of the content text in the div's will be pushed out of sight because {overflow:hidden;} has me covered. How do I get the content in the div to become scrollable in this case? I don't know if it's possible but I don't really want to have scroll bars on my div's UNLESS the user adjusts text size and forces it to happen. Can this be done and if so any Ideas on how to do it? Hi guys. Straight to pictures: Fig. 1: Differences in rendering between Standards compliant browsers and Internet Explorer. Link for html page is www.sential.co.uk/releases.html (this is my example page, but it's the same problem with all pages.) Now, apart from the fact they're different colors (which is a little strange), the positioning of the border images in IE is different than Safari/Firefox. I've tried playing with the code and positioning over and over with no luck. If I change one to look right, basically, the other ends up looking wrong. I have 4 corner images and 4 repeating borders. They're all positioned using css in my style sheet, in the format of, basically: Code: .corner_topleft{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
...
}
and so on in that respect for the 4 corners and: Code: .border_left{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
background-repeat: x;
...
}
etc. for the borders. I have specified all the heights of the images. Now the problems in the pictures a #1: the left and right borders don't repeat down, #2: the right edge border+corners seem to be out 17px (the width of the border). Although don't think you can simply specify the right border to be inwards 17px because if you do that, in Safari/Firefox, the background blue color overflows 17px outwards (because it's currently underneath that right border. Although, apparently not in IE.) If any of you guys can offer any help, suggestions, or maybe even a fix, that would be awesome and very appreciated. Regards, -Luke (: Hi all, After being away from the forums for some while I picked up the "webdesign-bug" again (it's raining during my summer holidays) but I'm having some troubles catching up with all new techniques/syntaxes at the moment. I did have a look at some tutorial sites and searched the forum for similar problems but somehow it's a bit overwhelming and I didn't find the solution I'm looking for yet. I do hope I didn't overlook something very basic or ask a frequently asked question (sorry then ) The goal I'm trying to make a (css-based) site with a central column with all 'normal' data. Below this central column I'd like to place some additional layers which are (partly) hidden underneath the main layer and which show themselves if you move with your mouse over the visible parts. The idea behind it is to create some 'desktop' where you have all kinds of things laying on eachother (like additional pieces of paper, some photographs, some money, ...). As an extra feature there would be another layer which makes sure there's a shadow from the 'main column' on the items below it. (Hope this is clear?) What I did so far To achieve this I thought I'd use different layers with different z-indexes and position them over and underneath eachother. So far I have the following code: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!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"> <head> <title>Test Layers</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function show( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex += 10; } function hide( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex -= 10; } </script> </head> <body> <!-- CONTAINER --> <div id="container"> <h2 class="title">Quick Links</h2> <!-- SUBCONTENT --> <div class="subcontent1" id="subcontent1" onMouseOver="show('subcontent1');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent1');"> Subtext1<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <div class="subcontent2" id="subcontent2" onMouseOver="show('subcontent2');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent2');"> Subtext2<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <!-- CONTENT --> <div class="content_shadow"> <div class="content"> <h1 class="title">Site Title</h1> <div class="content_white"> <h2 class="title">Content Title</h2> Maintext1 </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> css Code: Original - css Code * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: orange; } h1.title { display: none; } h2.title { display: none; } /******************************************************************** * CONTAINER ********************************************************************/ #container { border: solid 1px black; margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; z-index: 1; /* background-color: lightgray;*/ /* filter: alpha(opacity=50);*/ } /******************************************************************** * SUB CONTENT ********************************************************************/ /* http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530301.aspx http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/prop_style_clear.asp http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/css/layout-techniques/ */ #container .subcontent1 { background-color: lime; float: left; position: relative; top: 100px; width: 400px; z-index: 2; /* display: inline;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ /* left: 0px;*/ } #container .subcontent2 { background-color: lime; display: block; float: right; position: relative; top: 200px; width: 400px; z-index: 3; /* display: block;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ } /******************************************************************** * MAIN CONTENT ********************************************************************/ #container .content_shadow { background-color: gray; display: block; margin: 0 auto; opacity: .75; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 850px; z-index: 8; } #container .content { clear: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; z-index: 9; } #container .content_white { background-color: white; display: block; height: 800px; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }

The problem(s) Besides the (css)code probably being sloppy (and redundant at points?!?) since I experimented a lot with adding and removing of position-tags, floating-tags, etc etc.. it still fails to do what I'm aiming for. As can be seen on the attached screenshot most of it seems to be working (at least in FF2) (I had my mouse over the 2nd subcontent-layer btw) but the maintext1 won't start at the left of it's layer but instead starts on a x-coordinate where the 1st subcontent-layer finishes Can somebody point me to what I'm doing wrong? Also, if somebody has a relevant tutorial I'd appreciate it as well since I obviously need some extra exercise with this stuff (working on it already btw but you never know if there's another good one) Thanks for any help and if something isn't clear I'll try to explain it further! Hi, Im interested in finding an app to create the layouts of my web in a visual way, you know creating the divs with the mouse dragging and droping the corners and the laterals of the divs. I have found Kompozer, but the position, the margins, etc, of the divs that you dimension, go directly to the HTML code (inline styles). Do you know any visual css editor that writes the dimensions, margins and position of the divs in a .css file? Ciao |
