CSS - Attempting An Advanced Type Layout
I am attempting to construct a layout that is a bit more styled than the typical. I have seen it multiple times and would love it for my main page. It has a
left column and a right column In the right column, I would like to split that into two equal columns, width-wise and then underneath that I would like to have three equal columns under the top two which can span as far down as possible. I attempted it using code that I have laying around, and of course, it works in IE (more or less) but absolutely dies miserable in Netscape and Firefox. the link to the test page is http://www.test.angrybrownman.com and the css sheet would be www.test.angrybrownman.com/style_test.css The css for the site (since I am not sure the link will link) is as follows: #container { width:775px; margin:0px auto; background-color:transparent; border:1px solid #424242; line-height: 100%; background-image:url(cont_bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } #top { padding:0px; height:100px; background-image:url(header.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; background-color:#FFFFFF; } #main { padding:0px; height:200px; background-image:url(main.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; background-color:#fff; } #mid_box { padding:0px; height:200px; background-color:transparent; margin:0px 0px 0px 258px; /*background-image:url(mid_spacer.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left;*/ } #leftnav { float: left; width: 259px; margin-top:0px; padding:0px; } #rightnav { float: right; width: 150px; margin-top:0px; padding:0px; background-color:transparent; border-left:1px solid red; /*border-right:1px solid green;*/ border-top:2px solid #003366; } #center { margin-left: 259px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background-color:#fff/*#649DD8*/; border-top:2px solid #003366; } #leftbox { width: 168px; float: left; background-color:transparent; } #rightbox { width:167px; float: right; background-color:transparent; } #middle { margin-left: 169px; margin-right:168px; margin-top:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; background-color:transparent; } #left_top { width: 250px; float: left; background-color:transparent; } #right_top { width:250px; float: right; background-color:transparent; } I know it is a heavy duty question. The test page at that link has the css placed in each div af what I am trying to do. I am close...I think...I am just not understanding the model somehow to keep it together in the other 2 big browsers. Any help would be appreciated very, very much. Thanks a million. Jon Similar TutorialsOk here is my layout http://codingcore.com/template.html there are no tables at all its all css floats but the only problem is that the left and right menus go over the copyright bar on the bottom the middle box doesnt the copyright stays 45px from the middle box but i want it to be under all the boxs because right now the menus go over the copyright i want its copyright to be below the boxs on the right and left ive tried many things but I cant seem to get it to work i dont want to use tables ither Thanks Matt Hello, I have a perl script, and would normally do this with tables, but since tables are such a BAD THING ™ I've been trying to this with CSS, and I've spent too long on it thus far, so I'm looking for a bit of an assist Code: +----+-------------+--------------+ | id | date 1 | date 2 | | | | | +----+-------------+--------------+ what's the best way to accomplish this? --Ax Here's my entire code, sweet und simple: Code: body

All I need help with, is aligning "MAIN" so that it scales to the browser, like this one here does: http://www.jonathanwold.com/tutorials/wordpress_theme/preview/ the page and all it's content scales over as you widen/shorten it. I tried using absolute and fixed. Fixed works for scaling, but it doesn't scroll, my tables go off the page without being able to scroll down and see it all. Absolute enables scrolling, but it sticks to the left hand side. No matter what :\ and none of the % commands work ( ie, left: 20%; ) Anyone can help? I want to style something based on what comes after it. If a div is the last to have the class "combinedyes" I want to make the text red for example. I've experimented with: #EditMedHistoryDisplay div.cmMed.combinedyes + div.cmMed.combinedno But that styles the combinedno element... Any ideas? Code: <div id="EditMedHistoryDisplay"> <div class="cmMed odd combinedyes">Testosterone 2 mg <span class="medicationDelMethod">Cream-Transdermal</span> <div class="cmNotes ecmInstructions" id="cmnotes_21158" title="Click to edit" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); ">1 Gm (1 Gm = 1/4 tsp = 2 pumps)</div> </div> <div class="cmMed even combinedyes">DHEA 10 mg <span class="medicationDelMethod"> Cream-Transdermal</span> <div class="cmNotes ecmInstructions" id="cmnotes_21194" title="Click to edit" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); ">1 Gm (1 Gm = 1/4 tsp = 2 pumps)</div> </div> <div class="cmMed even combinedyes">Test 10 mg <span class="medicationDelMethod"> Cream-Transdermal</span> <div class="cmNotes ecmInstructions" id="cmnotes_21184" title="Click to edit" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); ">1 Gm (1 Gm = 1/4 tsp = 2 pumps)</div> </div> <div class="cmMed even combinedno">Testosterone 2 mg <span class="medicationDelMethod"> Patch-Transdermal</span> <div class="cmNotes ecmInstructions" id="cmnotes_21038" title="Click to edit">It's a patch...</div> </div> </div> Hi everyone. I'm looking for some help rendering a list using css. Basically I have a list in this format: Code: <ul>
<li>shirts</li>
<li>jackets
<ul>
<li>casual jackets</li>
<li>formal jackets</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>suits</li>
</ul>
And I would like to render it something like: Code: shirts jackets > casual jackets formal jackets suits All the text needs to be floated left so it will wrap to the next line. I'm able to float the top level list items correctly i.e. "shirts jackets suits" using: Code: <ul id="menu">
<li>shirts</li>
<li>jackets</li>
<li>suits</li>
</ul>
#menu, #menu ul {
list-style:none;
}
#menu li {
float: left;
width:5em;
}
the problem I have is getting the nested lists to appear alongside the parent items instead of below. When I add the nested lists I see something like: Code: shirts jackets suits
casual jackets
formal jackets
Maybe this just isn't possible but if anyone could help me I'd sure appreciate it! Thanks! Toby Hi! 1/ Is display:table; supported in IE6? In IE7? Searched the web but found contradictory answers. 2/ In Opera 9.02, when declaring a div display:table; and then applying padding to it (the div), there is a bug: the padding is contained in the width of the div (making the "content" or "room" available in the div smaller) rather than added tp the width of the div. Is there a fix for this? Thanks I am trying to create a completely non-uniform layout for one of my clients using only CSS. I would like to accomplish this using only floats that are cross-browser supported. The layout is split up into 9 different panels that need to be positioned correctly. Is this achieved simply by using float and clear? I have been experimenting and have been failing. What about positioning? Would kind of positioning would I use to arrange something inside of a parent div? See attached file for layout. P.S. I know I can get this exact layout done using tables, but I would much rather do this with some "simple" CSS. html code: Code: <div id="sidebar"> <h2>South Winds Park Info</h2> <ul> <li><a href="park-info/contact-info" title="Contact Info">Contact Info</a></li> <li><a href="park-info/homes-for-rent" title="Homes for Rent">Homes for Rent</a></li> <li><a href="park-info/homes-for-sale" title="Homes for Sale">Homes for Sale</a></li> <li><a href="park-info/office-services" title="Office & Services">Office & Services</a></li> <li><a href="park-info/meet-the-staff" title="Meet the Staff">Meet the Staff</a></li> </ul> <h2>South Winds Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href="calendar" title="Calendar">Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="resources/forms-and-documents" title="Forms and Documents">Forms and Documents</a> <ul> <li><a href="resources/forms-and-documents/by-laws" title="By Laws">By Laws</a></li> <li><a href="resources/forms-and-documents/prospectus" title="Prospectus">Prospectus</a></li> <li><a href="resources/forms-and-documents/rules-regulations" title="Rules & Regulations">Rules & Regulations</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="resources/special-events" title="Special Events">Special Events</a></li> <li><a href="resources/maintenance" title="Maintenance">Maintenance</a> <ul> <li><a href="resources/maintenance/fees" title="Fees">Fees</a></li> <li><a href="resources/maintenance/trash" title="Trash">Trash</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="resources/faq" title="FAQ">FAQ</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code: Code: #sidebar ul{

This is a vertical menu (in the sidebar of a wordpress site). It works everywhere, except IE7. I have jquery that overcomes the hover issue for IE (I know it works because I got it from http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/design-tutorials/how-to-build-and-enhance-a-3-level-navigation-menu/ I have searched the internet for a solution: using csshover.htc (doesn't work) The one issue I think it might be is because I'm using an ancher tag, but using hover on the li element. (the ancher is child of li) I have read tutorials on this, so my anchor is display block, it has the width and height fixed. The other is I'm using z-index to pull the elements in front. I don't know if IE7 has issues with z-index. I'm sorry I cannot show a working (broken) example, it's a wordpress site on my local machine. I even used the exact css code from the tutorial linked above (slightly modified to be vertical not horizontal) which he says it works in every browser. What else could it be? Since the code should work. What else around this menu could be my problem? Thank you so much for your help (ready to pull my hair out) Thus far I've done all of the CSS courses on lynda.com and have read css Zen Design and Transcending CSS, both GREAT books. What would be a good "next step book" into advanced CSS coding or have I done it all? Hi all, Does anyone have any good suggestions for a CSS book? I'd like to buy an all in one, that will teach me CSS. Thanks for any help I was looking over the www.csszengarden.com page and the way CSS was used there, but now I'm puzzled about the way the p element & p class is used in that document. In the stylesheet, the p element is specified but then in the html code, this type of code is used: <p class="p1"> <p class="p2"> <p class="p3"> For each new paragraph the class p is incremented by 1. However, the classes p1, p2, p3 etc. are not specified anywhere in the stylesheet. Is it a correct use of CSS & html code, or are the 'missing' classes perhaps an omission? Can anybody explain to me how this affects those paragraphs? Firefox works, IE doesn't Help with CSS pls :-) Firefox: http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/...irefoxstone.jpg Internet Explorer: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3856/explorerstone.jpg Here is that part of css i believe is affecting it: Code:
div.module h3 {
margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px;
font-size: 1em;
color: #FFEFD5;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div.module {
margin-bottom: 25px;
padding: 5;
float: left;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
background: url(../images/bottom.jpg) repeat-x bottom left;
}
div.module div {
padding: 0px;
background: url(../images/left.jpg) repeat-y top left;
}
div.module div div {
padding: 0px;
background: url(../images/top.jpg) repeat-x top left;
}
div.module div div div {

}
================== I have seen this code in some index files Some people put this in there index is this a code does this make your index.php use a different css file depending on the browser you use? Code:
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
.clearfix { height: 1%;}
#ja-cssmenu li { float: left; clear: both; width: 100%; }
</style>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 7.0]>
<style type="text/css">
.clearfix { display: inline-block;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why. Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code: <!--begin wrapper-->

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? If i want to use the strict DTD, is there an alternative to the target attribute on the <a> link which you are no longer allowed to use? <div type="test"> I am interested in the type attribute. The reason is this... I have a Janus GridEx on my asp.net form and I want to add some css styles to it. There is no ID defined, nor a class of which I can inherit. I can't modify the code for this tag so I was hoping I could use the type attribute to identify this div in my css.... This is the code for the DIV I'm talking about: Code: <div type="4" style="position:relative;padding:0px 0px;width:100%;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:auto;"> Anyone has any experience with this? Thanks! Please look at this page - http://www.tmhdesign2.com The list nav up at the top I have a bg image for the a tag and want to not display the bullet for the <li> but list-style-top:none does not work... Hey there I like making websites and for this one website i want to make it look really good and then buy a domain name when I'm done, but I can't figure the code in css to make an image appear at 500px down and 50px to the left when my mouse is over a link . If someone could help me with this I would be so happy! Thank you and have a nice day Hello. I'm trying to do this: Code:
input, textarea, select { COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial,
helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 10px! important; border: 1px #000000 solid;
}
input[type=radio] {COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial,
helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 10px! important; border: 0px #000000 solid;}
input[type=checkbox] {COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial,
helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 10px! important; border: 0px #000000 solid;}
But my checkboxes and radiobuttons still has a black border. WHY!? I include two diffrent css-files in my webpage. And "input, textarea, select" is set again in the second css-file. The reason for that system is that the second css-file is diffrent depending on what design the user has chosen... Is that a problem? |
