CSS - Common Practice For Css Layouts?
Is it more common practice to place all div's within one div as seen he
Or to have all div's independent, as shown he Similar TutorialsI have noticed that sites I make is out of whack on different browsers. Like the divs using absolute positions would line up on different positions, pop up windows that open to a certain size, open smaller and scrollbars appear when I asked it not to. Is there like something a person can add, to make sure that a site you build and tested on one platform and one browser, works and looks properly on all browsers? What are the common bugs that appear and the common hack or fix for it? Thanks. Well, I know CSS however I am a bit confused with fixed width and liquid layouts as far as I know fixed width is where you set a divs width in pixels and liquid is in % so it scales to the users screen size? Which one is best to use? Also, I have the following style sheet which I created, I am guessing this is a liquid layout? Code: * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-size: 15px;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
#header h1 {
padding-left: 25px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#content {
padding: 10px;
margin-left: 200px;
border-left: 1px solid white;
}
#content h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
text-align: center;
}
#nav {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
padding-left: 15px;
width: 20%;
}
#nav li {
list-style-type: none;
}
#nav a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#footer {
clear: left;
border-top: 1px solid white;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
width: 100%;
}
a {
color: silver;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover, a:focus {
font-weight: bold;
}
a:visited {
font-style: italic;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
margin: 10px;
}
p {
margin: 5px;
}
select {
width: 30%;
}
textarea {
width: 40%;
}
.floatimage {
float: left;
margin: 10px;
}
I read several threads on devshed, but cannot seem to resolve the issue. I am trying to line up my text and images within a div or span tag with the table just below it such that there is no white space in between. It works in Firefox. Link demonstrating problem in IE: http://test.hmedicine.com/shopping/catalog/kits CSS: .tb{font: 8pt verdana;vertical-align:top;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;font-weight:bold} HTML: <span class="tb"> Homeopathic Medicine Shop </span><a href="/shopping/catalog"><img src="/shopping/pics/topbar1shopping.gif" alt="shopping" border="0"></a><a href="/news/guide/guide.php"><img src="/shopping/pics/topbar2.gif" alt="guides" border="0"></a><a href="/shopping/service"><img src="/shopping/pics/topbar3.gif" alt="customer care" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.forum.hmedicine.com/index.php"><img src="/shopping/pics/topbar4.gif" alt="user forums" border="0"></a><br> <table width="720" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="009999"> Thanks so much in advance. If it's hard to follow, i can post screenshots. Is there a common cause of non-clickable text? I mean that on the suckerfish style menus I can't click on text in the link items. I thought it was a z-indexing issue but apparently not. I have encountered this problem many times now and am not sure how to fix it. Hello, I tried to make a page with a header, left column and right column, as shown in the screenshot. http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screengr2.jpg You can see the code at the bottom. I used the faux-column technique to make the column colors extend to the bottom of the page. Is this a good way to do it? and does this method give problems with different resolutions on different computer-monitors. I used floats in this example to position the divs, is this a common solution or is absolute or relative positioning better? My goal is to teach myself a way to easily and effectively divide a webpage, so that I have a basic method, also in larger and more complex websites. I like to hear any tips/techniques to improve this. I used the folowing code: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
</div>
<div class="left">
<img src="homer.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="nav">
<a href="home.htm">home</a> <!-- menubar -->
</div>
<div class="contents">
This is the contents of the page
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and the css code Code:
body{
background: url(fauxcolumn.jpg) 15% 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.header{
background-color: green;
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0%;
}
.left{
background-color: purple;
width: 15%;
float: left;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0%;
height: 100%;
}
.nav{
background-color: blue;
width: 85%;
float: left;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0%;
}
.contents{
float: left;
width: 85%;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0%;
background-color: red;
}
Thanks in advance. First off I am entirely new to using CSS for anything other than some link and scroll bar decorations. Secondly, this code does not (currently) validate but I think I can resolve those issues, but before I go to the trouble of appeasing a (forum) guideline and making sure the code validates I have some questions that may or may not prevent me from using the code or CSS all together. The code (template/stle sheet) I am using is from http://www.code-sucks.com/css%20layouts/css-3-column-layouts/ the top question I have now is: How can I seperate elements within the "header" section of this format? i.e. within the "header I would like to place a logo to the far left + a slogan and also place an advertising banner? normally I would do this with three or more table cells. would it compromise the benefit of switching from mainly table oriented pages to CSS by including "some" tables within the CSS sections? Thanks for any insights and sorry if I have crossed any lines with this query. Hi, Am very new to CSS, and need some advice. Broadly speaking, how would I achieve this layout using purely CSS? Thanks in advance http://forums.devshed.com/attachmen...tachmentid=4990 This is driving me absolutely insane. The transition from table designs to css designs is a brutal one, in case no one is aware. Table designs seem so much easier, but I guess I might as well be compliant. Here's my problem: All I need to do is have a three column box that has a select box in the left column, then two images vertically aligned in the middle within the middle column, and a second select box in the right column. This would be incredibly easy with tables seeing that all I would need is: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td align="left">
<select>
<option>Option</option>
</select>
</td>
<td valign="middle" align="center">
<img src="picture1.jpg"/><br/>
<img src="picture1.jpg"/>
</td>
<td align="left">
<select>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm assuming that since it's this easy to do with tables and everyone is opposed to using tables for design, there must be an easier way using divs and the like. Please enlighten me, someone! I've been thinking about switching over to making table-less css layouts, but there's been a few things holding me back, as I'm not sure if they're possible. Firstly, can you have two fixed width divs on the sides of a variable width div, which will stretch to fit the screen? Something like this is generally what I mean: Code: <div style="width: 50px; float: left;">left</div> <div style="width: *; float: left;">middle</div> <div style="width: 50px; float: left;">right</div> Also, is there any way to make a div that has been placed to the right of another match the height of the the one to it's left? Basically, I want it to behave more like standard tables do in that every cell in a row is the same height. Is this possible? I think it would answer a lot of questions if we make a list of cross browser css layouts. I am going to post all of my submissions via http://www.blendedcodes.com so everyone can see a live demo and change the code around live. Please post your submissions via blendedcodes.com or a similar site that lets visitors interact with the code. This is all about everyone learning the css layouts... I'll compile them all and post the final list when I close the thread. Centered body with left and right columns http://www.blendedcodes.com/DTrzZ6In Table made of floating divs http://www.blendedcodes.com/CFwtV3S1 I am looking for a CSS tutorial which teaches how to make a layout like this layout Basically a 3 column layout with boxes in the left and right columns Thanks I've got two pages, one created using tables for layout, and one using css . With the text columns in the tables layout, as you can see, no matter how much text you put in either column, the grey-background container will be pushed down. However, with the text columns in the css layout, I had to float the right column to the right in order to display the two columns together, and therefore, if you have more text in the right floated column, adding more or less text does not push down the height of the grey-background container. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this while allowing for random amounts of text to be displayed in either column, in the layout? i have been for 7 years now developing websites using tables and CSS, and nowadays i realized that i should use <DIV>s to create layout for my websites as it will be faster and SEO friendly. so can you please tell me any tutorials that teach me how to build a website using <DIV>s? and do someone know whether Lynda offers this or not? I'm having an issue with a CSS layout I"m working on. 1.For some off reason the div element for my page footer appears to think its inside of the mbox div. no matter what I have tried I can't get the pagebot div to the bottom of browser. 2. Width of 100% still leaves 30 or so px's on the right, any reason for this? 3. setting a min-height of 500 or so for mbox or innerbox divs has been ignored. Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
#container {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#pagetop{
position: relative;
top: 0px;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
width: 100%;
height: 65px;
}
#pagebot {
position: relative;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
height: 65px;
clear: both;
}
#mbox {
position: relative;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
#innerbox {
position: relative;
left: 10px;
}
div{
border: 1px solid red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="pagetop"></div>
<div id="mbox">
<div><img src='imgs/logo_tot_grey.jpg' width='280' height='95' alt='' border='0'></div>
<div id="innerbox">
<p>Test</p>
</div
</div>
<div id="pagebot"></div>
</div>

Hi there, I wanted to make buttons for my menu but I didn't want to use a lot of bandwidth so I decided to use Layouts and use the same image button over and over again! I made it in FrontPage with a great success but at the end I found out that the layout doesn't work in FireFox, the writing is all over the place in FireFox. Here is the code: Code: <div id="logo" style="position:absolute; left:-1px; top:20px; width: 171px; height: 45px;"> <p align="center"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">TEST LAYOUT</font></div> <p> <img border="0" id="img1" src="../button22.jpg" height="30" width="150" alt=""></p> If you apply it in IE it works, but if you apply it in Firefox it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for your help and support. Best Regards, John What do you guys think....just a template I made for practice http://csstest.dmsbdesign.com/templates/templates%201/ heres the color scheme I used too incase you guys have any suggestions http://colorschemedesigner.com/export/ Alright, so ive been around the block for a while and have heard that table layouts for design are the worst thing possible. However, I have noticed more and more sites using tables for the block type layout in a site... and then using css within the table blocks. I tried it out on a site I'm working on, and it is honestly the easiest way I've ever made a template... and it works in IE6 & 7, and FF. One of my favorite sites and layouts is CBSSports. And they use a table layout to accomplish what they are doing. Any reasons on why it is really that bad to do for example, what CBSSports is doing? So here is my question and dilemma. In almost every design you want the same layout for all the pages so one css style sheet is really all that is needed unless you are providing a different browser support or a different media option. However, lets say inside that site you want a page that will have a photo gallery or embedded videos. So then you may need to lay out a bit of a different layout for that page and its content. Is it better to just have those declarations in the same external style sheet, then applying it to that one page; or should it be placed in a separate css style sheet just for the page or because it is so isolates should it be placed in the xhtml internally? I would think placing in in the xhtml would not be a good idea but the other two options is bit more gray LB |
