CSS - Dynamic Backrgroundcolors & Borders Without Tables
I would like to use have a background of an html page white. I also want a 5% width border in black. I want it to be elastic so the dynamic content will always be displayed on the white and the border is consist as the page is built dynamically.
I don't want to use tables. Does anyone have suggestions on where I might find more information on such a task. I have googled but not found what I am looking for. Am I asking to much? Thank You. Similar TutorialsI have a site that uses many tables to display lists of data. I would like to use CSS to clean up these tables. In particular I want to put round corners around each table as a border. The tables vary in width and height so how can I do this? I'm kind of new at the whole CSS thing (though I have lots of other web programming experience) and I was wondering if it's possible to create an inline dynamic table. Basically what I want to be able to do is have the user enter in a number and hit enter (or a button) and have a table with that many rows (and a set number of columns) appear on the page without the page being reloaded. Is this possible to do with CSS in a way that most browsers support? If there is, can someone point me to a resource that would have information such as this? Thanks! I have a table that is populated using Spry. For some of the users, the table is showing its' borders in white when there is no data in the cell and for other users (like me) it's showing its' borders in black like expected. This is occurring in IE8 for the user. I have IE8 as well. Here is a setup of my table Code: <div id="Content"> <p class='instructions'>Click a column header to sort the table.</p> <div spry:region="jdmba"> <div spry:state="loading" class="loading">Please wait while alumni data loads…</div> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th scope="col" width="108px" class="sortable" spry:sort="last" id="last">Last Name</th> <th scope="col" width="106px" class="sortable" spry:sort="first" id="first">First Name</th> <th scope="col" width="269px" class="sortable" spry:sort="account" id="account">Company</th> <th scope="col" width="66px" class="sortable" spry:sort="state" id="state">State</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hls_year" id="hls_year">JD</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hbs_year" id="hbs_year">MBA</th> </tr> </table> <div class="Overload"> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr spry:repeat="jdmba" spry:setrow="jdmba" spry:odd="odd" spry:even="even" spry:hover="hover" > <td width="108px">{last}</td> <td width="106px">{first}</td> <td width="269px">{account}</td> <td width="66px">{state}</td> <td width="82px">{hls_year}</td> <td width="82px">{hbs_year}</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> Here is my CSS file Code: a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #News a:link { color: #00F; } #News a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } body { background: #000 repeat; } #wrap { background: #000; width: 900px; border: thick solid #9C0029; float: left; height: auto; padding: 0px 0px 1em; margin-top: 2%; margin-left: 10%; } #footer { font: bold small/50px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFF; background: #9C0029; text-align: center; height: 50px; width: 850px; margin-left: 25px; } #Header { background: #8F001C url(../images/banner.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 850px; height: 150px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 25px; } h1 { font: normal 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000; text-align: left; } h2 { font: small Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333; text-align: justify; } h3 { font: normal medium "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FFF; } h4 { font-size: small; color: #333; text-align: left; } .banners { background: #FFF0B2; width: auto; height: auto; font: 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .5em; text-indent: 10px; } .Content { font: 14px/normal Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-align: justify; display: block; padding: 2em 3em 3em; } .Content a:link { color: #00F; } .Content a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } .Content a:visited { color: #00F; } #inner_body { background: #FFF; height: auto; width: 800px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 50px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: .5em; } #inner_border { margin: 0em auto auto; border: thin solid #8E887C; width: 775px; padding: 1em 0em 0em; } #nav_bar { height: 3em; width: 100%; margin-left: 0%; text-align: center; } #Content { height: auto; width: 95%; padding: 0em 0% 5em; margin: 2.5% 2.55% 2%; text-align: left; font-family: Verdana; } #nav { height: auto; width: 20em; } #News { margin-left: 2px; height: 30%; background: #FFF0B2; padding: 3%; } #News a:visited { color: #00F; } .Overload { height: 208px; overflow: auto; } .odd { background-color: #E8E8E8; } .even { background-color: #E8E8E8;} .hover { background-color: #FFC;} table.spry { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; } .instructions { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom:8px; } .loading { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8px; color:#900; } table.spry th { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry td { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry th.sortable:hover { cursor: pointer; } table.spry th.sortable { text-align:left; color:#FFFFFF; background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/bg.gif) no-repeat 95% 6px; } table.spry th.ascending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarUpHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } table.spry th.descending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } I'm only placing borders on the left and bottom so that in my detail cells the borders aren't doubled up. So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. Any ideas? Thanks! I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

I can't find any reference to a border. How is this done? Can any one suggest a better CSS script for having a border in IE So far I have the following: PHP Code: border: 1px solid #0099CC; The problem is that when ran in IE, the top border does not show. However it works fine in firefox. Also I get warnings on my script when I run my CSS validation tool. Can any one help. Thge URL is http://pfwd.org.uk/sfd/update_test3.php Hi All, I am trying to set a style in my CSS that will show a border-bottom for an entire row. So far I can only get it to work on a per cell (<td>) basis. I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and when I select an entire row and assign it a style, it just add's it to the <tr> tags at the top of those rows. Code: <!-- This is a Row that is at the top of the table --> <table width="100%" border="0" class="fullwidth"> <tr> <td class="head">This is a header </td> </tr> </table> <!-- This is where I want the border-bottom attribute to show up --> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" class="list"> <tr class="list"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="list"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="list"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="list"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="list"> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> Here is the CSS: Code: table.fullwidth {width: 100%; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;} tr.list {background-color: #EFEFEF; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000;} Is it possible to have more than one border in CSS? I want to have a grey and green border around an area of text, something like this. So is it possible to have two or more borders in CSS and if so, how? Hi guys, I am using the following css to style a content box: Code: /*---------------- Start of Testimonies Content Box ---------*/ #testimonies { WIDTH: 175px; MARGIN: -85px 0px 0px; POSITION: right; height: 60px; float:right; BORDER-RIGHT: #d9ddb9 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #d9ddb9 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #d9ddb9 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #d9ddb9 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; FLOAT: right; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(images/bg-down-right.gif); BACKGROUND-POSITION: 50% bottom; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat-x; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fafceb; } .testimonies-h2 { PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fafceb } #testimonies H2 { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND-POSITION: 2px 3px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 100%; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(images/bg-h2.gif); PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: uppercase; COLOR: #8fa300; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat-x } /*---------------- End of Testimonies Content Box ---------*/ I want to add an inline frame inside the 'testimonies' div in my html but it keeps using the border styling of the css above.

I'm trying to line up absolute divs but running into an issue where IE includes the border in the width and Netscape appears to tack the borders on - so if I have a div with a width of 100px and a border of 5px, IE diplays 100px, inclusive of the border. Netscape appears to dispay a div with a total width of 110px. <div align="center" class="box" style="top:49px; left:111px; width:100px; height:100px"><br>Test<br></div> .box {position:absolute; border: 5px double black; font: 200 9px arial} Havn't been able to find the property that may control this. ???? I have a bit of CSS that wraps a border around an image, it works in IE but not in FF. What am I doing wrong? Code: .book_box { width: 95%; padding: 10px 5px 5px 5px; border: 2px solid white; background-color: #eef7ff; text-align : left; overflow: auto; } .book_box_img { float: left; margin: 5px; border: 1px; border-color: #003366; } Hey, searched so don't give me crap. I have 2 images, searchleft.jpg (looks like { ) and searchright.jpg (looks like } ) I only posted the Doc type just incase, I validated my webpage(www.gameyin.com) and nothing that could hurt this has happened. Anyway I want the rounded borders on the left center, for searchleft.jpg and a roundedborder for searchright.jpg on the right center. I hope I have been very clear.

I have an annoying problem though which I cannot seem to solve whereby the border doesn't show fully in IE but in Mozilla it does? I tried vary the code a bit in the CSS and I would either lose the top border, bottom border or both...? Bizarre. Here is the code it is very simple and you can see where I am going with it. I appreciate the help.

Hi I'm currently testing my code within the firefox browser and have found that no borders appear whatsoever. I was using the dotted border however changed it to solid to see if that made a difference however this did not help. The css I use for the <div> is as follows: Code: .div_surround { width:185px; min-height:200px; float:left; margin-top:5px; margin-right:5px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #CCCCCC; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: #CCCCCC; border:1px; } I know a lot of people dont like the width to be specific pixels however unless this makes a difference to my situation, please ignore this for the time being. I am looking to change it in the future. By the way this code works fine in IE where I see a box with a bottom and left border. Thanks in advance for any help. Billabang! Hello, I have a list that looks like this Code: <ul> <li><a href="#"> List item 1</a></li> <li><a href="#"> List item 2</a></li> <li><a href="#"> List item 3</a></li> </ul> ... and my CSS for the list looks like this Code: ul { margin-left: 0px; list-style: none; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #000000; } li { border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; } li a { text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 14px solid #82817C; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #585752; } li a:hover { text-decoration: none; border-left: 14px solid #9D9E8E; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #585752; } My problem is that I can't get the borders go the way I want them to. As you can see, the list items have two borders, a left border and a bottom border. The unorganized list-tag has one border, a top border. In both cases, the top and bottom borders are 1px in height, and the left border is 14 pixels in width. The ul's top-border is full width, meaning it starts at the left side of the page, while again the li's bottom-border starts AFTER the left-border... ok, that was confusingly explained. What I'm trying to achieve is that the li's left-border is over lapped by it's bottom-border - so that the bottom border looks just like the ul's top-border. Ok, if you put the code to your editing program and view it "in action" you should be able to see what I mean. So to summarize it all, how can I force the bottom-border to over lap the left-border? Thank you in advance, - Kimppa Hi, Someone I know is trying to find a way of putting a border round an image (say 1px white) followed by another border around that (say 1px blue). Anyone done this or have a good idea of a way to do it? thanks |
