CSS - Nowrap In Divs
Hi,
I have a design which has a header and two columns, if i shrink the browser window, the right column goes below the the left. Is there anything that can be done to prevent it? the layout is as follows: <div id=container> <div id=header></div> <div id=left column></div> <div id=right_column></div> </div> any help? Thanks, Heidi Similar Tutorialsvalidate.w3 does not confirm nowrap in a div, How do I use nowrap then? example: <div STYLE='width:50px'; nowrap>one two three</div> hi , how to simulate (nowrap) effect using CSS thanks Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Alright, I've been working on my own custom border box for a while and I've almost got it, but it has a few problems still. How I do it is I have one div that contains it all (.box) that defines the height and width of the whole box. Then I have three boxRows to lay out the images, and then I define how three cells in each of those rows should behave, very much like how custom borders used to be done with tables. Here are the problems: In both firefox and internet explorer, the bottom row and the far right column actually appear OUTSIDE the .box containing box. There are two additional problems in internet explorer. First, the middle row handles the auto height differently and only expands about 10px instead of the height of the containing box. The second is that the whole middle row for some reason appears to be pushed to the right by about 16px. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code: HTML: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testBox.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <div class="boxRowTop"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowMiddle"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowBottom"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> </body> </html> And here is the layout css file: Code: /* Box classes */
.box {
background: rgb(120,120,120);
height: 200px;
width: 500px;
}
.boxRowTop {
height: 16px;
position: relative;
width:%100;
}
.boxRowMiddle {
height: auto;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxRowBottom {
height: 16px;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxCellLeft {
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
.boxCellMiddle {
height: 100%;
margin-left: 16px;
margin-right: 16px;
width: auto;
}
.boxCellRight {
height: 100%;
left: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
/* Define Cell Backgrounds/Images */
.boxRowTop .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/topleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/top_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/topright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/left_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellMiddle {
background: rgb(255,255,255);
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/right_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottom_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
And last, the reset CSS, which I don't think has anything to do with the problems because if I take it out it still has them. Code: html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend, caption

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I've been working on this for a while! Thanks! Please have a look at http://www.root.lamtha2.co.uk/cssproblem/ why is there a gap between #header and #maincontent in both IE and FF how do I resolve? thanks Hiya, this is my first time posting here; tia for helping me out with my problem. I am trying to center a 784 wide page, cut up into multiple divs. It's working, but I am getting a problem which I cannot get rid of. I'm using position:relative, and this is making the page scroll as if the images were below each other. They are showing up in the correct spots, but once the page is finished, I end up with another page worth of white space to scroll through (which I do not want.) I hope this explained it correctly. Below is an example of the html and css I am using. Notice the red drops below the final picture then length of the picture itself. Once the entire page is done, it is about 1500px longer than needed. ******************************* HTML ******************************* <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="new.css"> </head> <body> <div class="begin"> <div class="header_piece_01"><img src="images/picture_01.jpg"></div> <div class="rocket_logo"><img src="images/picture_02.jpg"><br><img src="images/picture_03.jpg"><br><img src="images/picture_04.jpg"></div> </div> </body> </html> ******************************* new.css ******************************* body { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size : 11px; text-align : justify; line-height : 150%; color : #000000; margin : 0px; border : 0px; padding : 0px; background-color : #FFFFFF; } a { text-decoration : none; } a:hover { text-decoration : none; } .begin { width : 784px; background-color : red; margin-left : auto; margin-right : auto; } .header_piece_01 { width : 31px; height : 118px; } .rocket_logo { position : relative; top : -118px; left : 31px; width : 289px; } Right now I'm using a table for showing how many people from each state have signed a petition. It looks sort of like this: Code: <table> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FDFCE5" align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=CA">CA</a></td> <td bgcolor="#FDFCE5" align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=CA">1242</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=TX">TX</a></td> <td align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=TX">550</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FDFCE5" align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=FL">FL</a></td> <td bgcolor="#FDFCE5" align="center"><a class="state" href="./signers.php?search_field=state&state=FL">487</a></td> </tr> </table> Should I be using DIVs? Apologies for my crude code. I'm attempting to learn css on the fly. My design is looking right on Macs (Firefox, Safari) but the image gallery I've cobbled together is all wrong on pretty much any browser on a PC. Any ideas? (and also - the menu keeps shifting down about 125px more than it should on IE 6.0, any thought there would be equally appreciated!!) many, many thanks. I'm at a roadblock. charlie http://www.detroitnewspapers.com/dnp-company.html In IE for windows, the left column (with the gradient) has about a 10px gap between it and the horizontal dark blue bar. This gap doesn't show up on Safari or Firefox (mac), so I'm not sure why it's showing up in IE Windows. I believe it has something to do with the flash div, but I'm a newbie at table-less layouts. Any insight would be much appreciated! Hello I was wondering if any one could help me with a problem with some divs, I would like to create a web page using just css and html which looks like this:- Whay I would like to know is how would I get the divs to keep aliened as in the picture?? Any help would be very appreciated. In IE my center div is even with the rest of the columns. in ff it is not. why? My style sheet does not specify a top-margin to be anything other than default ... http://www.nevertap.com/event.php Hi All, I am trying to get to grips with css positioning and am hitting problems.

It has all gone pear shaped..... any ideas? Thanks. Any ideas as to why i'm getting these 2 gaps where the white background is clearly visible? It's under the header div and above the footer div, which surrounds my content/container div. There also seems to be a margin or padding around the text in the leftSide and mainText divs, but none around the text in the rightSide div. Hmmm? This problem can be reproduced in FF. http://www.indusmultifoods.com/test/indus.php Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Amit p.s. there is no php code as of now, i just have a habit of starting off my webpages with php extensions. 1.On amazon.com's home page, they have a search bar with a background image on top of another background image. Is this done with a background div with z index 1 immediately followed by the search bar's background div with z index 2? 2.I'm confused about where divs are to be placed. If you have a form with a table layout, would the div be placed outside the form tag or outside the table tag? |
