CSS - Sandbag Divs For Flowing Text Margins
Does anybody know what the css attributes would look like for the right margin divs like (e.g. #smr-00) found in this tutorial?
(see link) css.image.text.wrap.tutorial.htm Similar TutorialsI'm working on an experimental website at http://www.abdn.ac.uk/~u12cb4/new/ I'm trying to get the main text to flow around the divs floating at either side but as you can see it's not happening. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks, Bailz At http://alphaworks.co.uk/problems/non-flowing/ how can I get the three "Address line x" lines to line up under one another and not flow back to the left under the "Address:" label? Thanks, Geoff My site can be seen he pioneer.nic.edu/~mdmoffet/index.html The CSS is located at pioneer.nic.edu/~mdmoffet/church.css The problem is pretty apparent if you look at the page - the text flows down and beyond the div it is in, and the background/border of the div just randomly stops. I've put height:100% and min-height:100% in all parent elements for it, but that doesn't seem to be working as I expected it to. I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point - if the text is less than the viewport, the div will cover the full length like it is supposed to, it just seems to break at a certain length. Both my html and my css validate. Any ideas? The text in the <p> isn't wrapping around the image in IE. Works fine in FF. What am I doing wrong? Code: <div class="floatright"><a href="./images/storyimages/1192298760_15.jpg"><img class="storyimage" border="0" src="./images/storyimages/thumbs/1192298760_15thumb.jpg" alt=""></a><br>This is a caption</div> <p> Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Suspendisse viverra, orci venenatis consectetuer faucibus, purus nibh feugiat libero, nec pulvinar nulla orci ut lectus. Ut pellentesque pharetra erat. Proin quis lacus ut sapien ullamcorper consectetuer. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Suspendisse viverra, orci venenatis consectetuer faucibus, purus nibh feugiat libero, nec pulvinar nulla orci ut lectus. Ut pellentesque pharetra erat. Proin quis lacus ut sapien ullamcorper consectetuer. </p> This is all in the main_col_right <DIV>. Here's the CSS: Code:
.floatright {
float: right;
margin: 0 10px 10px;
}
#main_inner_wrap {
margin:0 auto;
width:690px;
}
#main_inner_wrap p {
font-family: Geneva, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: .9em;
line-height: 1.4em;
padding:0 10px;
min-height: 100%;
}
#main_col_left {
float:left;
width:150px;
color: #330;
line-height: 1.5em;
}
#main_col_right {
margin-top: 0;
float:right;
width:540px;
color: #330;
background:url("./images/news_bg.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
I'm redoing the layout of my site (www.brohawk.com) using floating divs with negative margins to produce a fluid left column and a fixed right column. I followed an article on A List Apart for the basics and got it working fairly nicely. As a matter of fact, the site works beautifull in Mozilla/Firefox and with minmal errors in NS7. I've even got all but the forums working in Opera. I haven't even begun to work on making it IE compliant. Saving the worst for last. Anyhow, on all the pages except the forums, the divs line up perfectly. However, on the forums page, the right div doesn't stay up top, instead it wraps around under the left div. However, I still get all the space to the right of the left div where the right one should go. Anybody with Opera should be able to check it out and see what I mean. Anyhow, can anybody tell me why it won't float properly on that one page, but it works on all the others? I figured out how to put the text on top of my background Div tag image from a previous post, but this has now shown me another problem. I now need the text to be on top of the white shape only, and not spill onto the gray area. If I remember correctly (I don't have the .ai file any more) the white area is about 500px in width. But whenever I adjust the margins to reflect this, the right side just will not comply. I'll post the two div classes' code below and maybe someone can lend me a hand. Code:
#mainContent {
background-color:transparent;
background-image:url((URL address blocked: See forum rules));
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:scroll;
background-position:0% 0%;
height:610px;
margin: 10px;
margin-right: 1cm;
overflow:auto;
padding-top: 1cm;
padding-left: .6cm;
width:550px;
}
#mainContentWrapper {
float:left;
margin-right:11px;
min-height:100%;
width:550px;
}
In Internet Explorer 6, the following HTML and CSS with negative margins causes the first letter of the heading to disappear: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media=screen>
#siteBody {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 100px;
width: 700px;
margin-left: 2em;
}
h1 {
margin-left: -1em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="siteBody">
<h1>This is the heading</h1>
<p>
This is the content.
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
There are ways to get the negative margin to work in IE properly, but at a loss of functionality. For instance, if I remove the width property from the siteBody CSS, and change the position to 'relative', the letter will appear. Also, if I remove the div and just place the 'siteBody' id on the body tag, then the first letter will appear. Any help is greatly appreciated as I've been searching for a solution for a couple of days now. Thanks, ---atomgiant I've got a real head-scratcher that I cannot find a solution for. The webpage I am talking about is he http://test.ecofreshusa.com/Company.aspx If you see the "breadcrumb-like" submenu (the grey one) in IE, zooming at 100% looks fine, but when you hit Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to text zoom, the margins between every line item (its made using an unordered list).. fall out and the text loses all spacing. Does anyone know where I went wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.. Oh and heres the CSS im using to work with this menu. Code: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">

I want to make a schedule using a single column (unless that really doesn't make sense). There is an image for the date on the left and then i want all of the days events in chronological order on the right of the image. How do I make the text always indented correctly? I know thats confusing. I want it to look like this: http://www.kdpatton.com/cosmopolis/program.htm well the first entries at least. Hi! Could some experienced CSS developer please confirm this: All paddings, and right and left margins, always combine (what I mean is if you have a left object with a 5px right margin and a right object with a 5px left margin, the distance between the two will be 10px). However, bottom & top margins never combine. Is all this true? I am having a problem where I have a <div> that holds my body image, margin: 0 auto; Inside that is my content <div> with margin:15px; but this is visually dropping the background image's margin by 15px. The problem compounds every time I add another margin/padding requirement into the rest of the <div>. Code: html, body {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/background.png);
}
#body_image {
width:935;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/body.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
#container {
width:904px;
height:750px;
margin:15px;
}
#slug {
height:15px;
}
Code: <div id="body_image"> <div id="container"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </div> The extent of my CSS is a few tutorials online and the class I took 10 years ago where the teacher said "Here's CSS, you can't do much more than change your font size and color with it... on to tables!" Thought it'd only be fair to give you a little background. Is there any CSS to make my block of text flow between several table cells? (I know tables are a bit anti-css but I don't really have a choice here). Hi guys, i have a page of categorised links which i've wrapped using definition lists: Code: <dl class="link_category"> <dt class="category_name">Magazines</dt> <dt>XchangeIT</dt> <dd>The company through which newsagents obtain electronic magazine invoices.</dd> </dl> I would like for each list to flow after the proceeding so I've used float: left, however there's the occasional gap (see attached img). And I cant figure out whats causing this! Here's my CSS: Code:
.link_category {
float: left;
width: 200px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
}
.link_category dt {
font-weight:bold;
}
.link dt.category_name {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 18px;
margin: 0 0 9px 0;
}
Thanks in advance Hi guys Im having issues with unselectable text. Im using a full css layout with a fixed div header, footer and sidebar - along with a full css pop-out menu system. http://www.clevedonschool.org.uk Forgive the awful design it was the clients choice to use this layout, colour scheme and design! The problem Im having: The text that appears in the scrollable part of the page is unselectable where it lies parallell with the side nav. In Firefox links that appear in this 'dead-zone' cant be clicked either which isn't really acceptable. In IE its slightly better but less than ideal. Ive played about with z-index's and positioning but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Hi All, This seems to be a bit of a recurring problem for me in a lot of the new CSS designs I'm trying... but it seems that IE interprets both padding and margins differently than how firefox interprets them. Sometimes it seems to do it the same, and other times differently. Take a look at this: http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/index.html CSS he http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/style.css Now look at it first in Firefox (the desired effect) and then in IE. IE seems to be incapable of understanding this particular piece of the code Code:
#menu {padding-top:140px;text-align:left;padding-left:38px;}
#menu ul{margin:0px;}
#menu ul li{display:inline;margin-right:10px;padding:5px 7px 5px 7px;color:#fff;}
#menu ul li a{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:none;}
#menu ul li a:hover{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:3px solid #fff;}
#menu ul li a.selected{color:#f88000;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:2px solid #f88000;}
Ideas? Help? I know the box model is different for IE than it is for FF but I've tried the box model hack and it doesn't seem to do anything. I am a bit lost as to how to accomplish the following: I have two divs of unequal width, let's say 300 and 100 for example. I need to float both of these divs to the right and have them stacked on top of each other. That's easy enough on it's own, but I need text to wrap around them properly. ie if the wide one is on top the text should flow to it's left edge, then flow underneath it it the narrow divs left edge, then underneath the narrow one. I tried doing this with relaitve positioning, but have had no luck. If I simply float them both to the right, they line up side by side as expected. If I wrap them both in one container div, the text will flow to the left edge of the wide div but obviously not wrap underneath it to the left edge of the narrow div. Any ideas? Hi, I wonder if you can help me, In FF, this site has it's rows messed up. If you scroll down towards the bottom the colours become out-of-sync with the text. Can anyone help? (It works fine in IE and Opera) Thanks CSS Code (scroll down): http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...&usermedium=all Thanks again Trying to achieve this: I'm having trouble figuring out how to float the right ad space correctly. This is what i've got so far: http://gatehouse.graffetto.com/floating_divs.html Code: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.mainDiv {margin: 0; border: 1px solid black; padding: 10px; width: 600px; float: left;}
.image {height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: red; float: left;}
.rightAd {float: right; background-color: blue; height: 250px; width: 300px; clear:right; margin-top: 300px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="mainDiv">
<div class="image">test</div>
<div class="rightAd">test</div>
<div class="textDiv">
Text content
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I know this is simple i just can't figure it out for some reason.. thanks for any help. I have a blog and I want to put my text inside a border/wrapper. So I've made the border and sliced it up into 3 parts: top middle and bottom. I want to place the text content within the middle of this graphic and so I figure I need to make the sliced images as a background using css and then type whatever I want over it. So I did this but dont know what Im doing wrong: Code:
<style type="text/css">
top {background: url('/images/t1.gif') ;}
middle {background: url('/images/t2.gif') ;}
bottom {background: url('/images/t3.gif') ;}
</style>
<div class="top" id="top"></div>
<div class="mid" id="mid">
<div class="content" id="content">Content Goes Here</div>
</div>
<div class="bottom" id="bottom"></div>
Any help is appreciated. JH |
