CSS - Cross-frame Element
Hi guys,
I've this two frame page there the top frame is a static header and the main frame is the content holder. I've an drop list in the top frame but it exceeds the length of the frame and part of it becomes inaccessible. What I would like to know is if is possible to make that element to show up above the frameset, that is, it would start on the top frame but it would show the rest of the menu above the main frame, something like having a higher z-index than the frameset. Any help appreciated Thx Hugo Similar TutorialsI'm building some pages on a learning platform and i'm limited to using in-line styles. The platform is built in a frameset, and I would like to use my in-line styles to target an element in a different frame. I can find information about the "target" frameset name, frame name, element class etc, but don't have the option to change any of the markup here. Is this possible? I have tried playing around the the @frame rule but couldn't seem to get it to work - not sure if i'm using the correct syntax. Any ideas? Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim I have an navigation menu that I am building as an unordered list. What I have is an image rollover that appears at the bottom of the navigation menu when the cursor hovers over one of the first level links by using a span within the link that has its display set to none, and then set to absolute positioned directly below the navigation menu on a:hover. Here is an example: Code: <ul> <li> <a href="link1.html" id="link1">Link<span></span></a> </li> </ul> .link a { some link height } .link a span { display: none; } .link a:hover span { position: abolute; top: (some link height * the number of links); background-image: (some image url) width: (image width) height: (image height) } Appearance: ------ Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- ------- Rollover Image to appear here ------- The problem that I have is that since the rollover image is positioned absolutely, if the size of the list of links changes (IE with sub-links in the list) it slides under or over where I have the rollover image placed. IE ------ Link1 sublink1 sublink2 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- will break my scheme. Is there a way to get the span within the link to show up relative to the bottom of the <ul> element, or at the bottom of an element that contains the whole shebang? If I cant get this to work, I'm going to be forced to adopt the existing tables/javascript based template for our site, and I'd hate hate hate to do that. thanks. Can anyone explain the difference between the two? For example, what is the difference between: this: element element {} div p { } and this: element > element { } div > p { } I don't understand it and have not found an explanation in tireless searching. Thx! Hi; I don't mind writing straight CSS with a text editor; my big problem is cross-browser compatibility -- getting all those tweaks for everything you do to include ie 5, 6 & 7 (I guess we can drop 5 by now). To that end, I don't object to using an IDE or other tool to develop cross browser CSS. So my question is, what is/are the best resources available to handle the cross-browser issues; from broken box model, etc. ** I know about ie7-js from Dean Edwards, but I don't know how well that works. ** I know about some CSS IDE's like Aptana & Stylizer; but again I don't really know how well they handle these issues. ** And I would like to hope there are some sites out there with total references that tells you everything you need to know about cross browser CSS, though all I've found so far are piecemeal articles; how to handle this or that aspect. So in short, I don't expect one magic bullet (though that would be nice), but I'm looking for pointers to and evaluations of various resources that could be maybe used together to make this problem a little easier. Thanks i have a web site that i am redesigning and the redesign is @ http://cometosandiego.com/weekendvisit/index.php it shows up GREAT in firefox screwed in opera and COMPLETLY out of wack in IE 6 and 7 what to do???? thanks I am having problem making this cross browser friendly Code: /* Div Structure */ #heading { margin: 0; position: relative; top: -20px; background-color:#0066CC; } #search { float: left; } #img { float:left; } #text { float:right; } #phone { position: relative ; float: right ; top: 15px ; right: 10px } #head { margin: 5px ; padding: 0; height: 195px; background-color: #FDFCFF; border: solid; border-color: #0066CC; border-width: 2px; background-color: #FDFCFF; } #headnav { float: right ; margin: 100px 17px 5px 10px; padding: 0; } #sidebar { float: left ; background-color:#FDFCFF; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; border-color: #0066CC; padding: 10px; width: 170px; margin: 2px; margin-top: 5px; height: 530px ; } #mainpage { float: right; position:relative; width: 730px ; right: -5px; left: -5px; border: solid; border-color: #0066CC; border-width: 2px; background-color: #FDFCFF; margin-top: 5px; } /* Side Bar */ #sidebar h3 { color:black; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.2em; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom:dashed; border-bottom-color:black; border-width: 1px; } #sidebar ul, #sidebar ol { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #sidebar li { margin: 0; list-style:none; padding: 0; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; } #sidebar a { color: #9999FF; text-decoration:none; } #sidebar a:hover { color: black; text-decoration:underline; } #sidebar div { margin: 20px 0; padding: 0; } /* Header Style */ #head h1 { font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; letter-spacing: 0.5em; font-size: 2em; color: black; } #head a { color: black; text-decoration: none; } /* Head Nav */ #headnav a { color: black; text-decoration:none; } #headnav a:hover { text-decoration:underline; } #headnav p { color:black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:0.1em; } /* Main Page */ #mainpage img { padding: 10px; } #mainpage h2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:black; letter-spacing: 0.5em; font-style: bold ; border-bottom: solid; border-bottom-color:#0066CC; border-bottom-width: 2px; } #mainpage p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } #mainpage li { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } #mainpage h3 { font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-bottom: dotted; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-width: 1px ; latter-spacing: 0.2 em; font-size:18px; } #mainpage a { color: #910B2D; text-decoration:none; } #mainpage a:hover { color:silver; text-decoration:underline; } /* Phone */ #phone p { color: black ; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px ; } /* Heading's */ #heading h2 { color: white; } Anyone have any recommendations on a good program to check cross browser stuff. I am tired of having to open every browser up to check my sites. Also, anyone know any good links for getting better at coding for cross browser CSS? Thanks! What do you use for Cross Browser Testing? I just came across BrowserCam ($25 per year) at fundable.org. Do you recommend it? thank you. Dr. Mk. Hi, I have a template that works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but doesn't work well in all the other browsers. Here is the template: http://www.gmaptools.com/redemo/format.html (The scrollbar located on the right of the page doesn't contain to 100% height in the other browsers) The entire page must stay at 100% height and 100% width, and work in the other browsers the same way it works in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know why it isn't working in the other browsers? I need it to work in: 1. Internet Explorer (Windows) 2. FireFox (Windows & Mac) 3. Opera (Windows) 4. Safari (Mac) I really appreciate any assistance you can give me. Thanks in advance, I know there are a lot of articles lying around about this problem, but im having trouble with css layout for a site im working on, in IE6.0 the site displays as it should do. in Opera 7.23 + 7.11 the site displays with the main text sitting on the logo for the page, in firefox it displays as it does in opera. I am using includes for the full page with no html in the index.php page, i have tried this without includes bur get the same problems as before. the site addy is: http://www.kptspanishproperties.org.uk any help wpuld be great, also im not using tables just using css for all the layout needed I have the following site: www.artsenvacature.nl I've heard the site doesn't look nice on MAC OS (I've got a PC) and some tiny details fail on FireFox. It only looks perfect in IE 6.0. Is anybody interested in making the CSS compatible? I'm very well willing to pay for it. Okay, my layout is css, and the problem is with my footer, and bottom links. In mozilla, they look the way i want them to, but for IE, they are positioned too low, and the bottom links are unreadable. Take a look - www.funny-guys.com The Code: #bottomlinks { margin:0px 0px 20px 0px; padding:0px; font-size:10px; color:#999999; text-align:center; div#footer { margin: 0px 0px 12px 0px; font-size:60%; text-align:center; padding:0; } Thanks I was wondering if anyone knows of downloadable software for cross-browser testing (other than downloading all browsers manually). I know there are several websites that offer these features, but I'd like downloadable software as well. It would be even better if it offered some emulators for mobile device browsers as well.... Anyways, just wondering if anyone knows of anything good other than the online web service ones. Hi All Can anyone please tell me where am I going wrong in code below it fairly straight forward, Style switcher works fine. The problem is When I'm using Firefox background image doesn't show but there no problem in IE. why????

Basically, I can get things to line up in either IE or FF, but not both, I have managed to solve this with past sites, but can't seem to figure this one out! Currently I have it set so it is correctly displayed in IE: http://www.kohlrbaby.com/vcc/portfolio/portfolio.htm Please, please help me to figure out how to do fixes for this issue, I have been searching online but can't seem to figure it out and am very frustrated! Thanks so much and here is my CSS: body { margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #999999; text-align: center; } #title{ margin-top:0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; position: relative; float: left; clear: left; } #rightBox { border-right: 2px solid #666666; width:625px; padding: 0px; border-top: 2px solid #666666; border-bottom: 2px solid #666666; border-left: 2px solid #666666; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; background: #ffffff; } .mainPic { margin-top: -475px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 30px; position:relative; float: left; clear: left; z-index: 100; } img.pic{ border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; } PS: i know I don't need to have all my margin positions shown (ie: may eventually become margin: 0px), however I have kept it like this until I figure out what my problems are. This template works perfectly in firefox (as I want it) but the background-images won't show and the margin/padding shows wrong. When I validate the CSS in firefox, it goes through, but when I do it in IE, it tells me that the id's are suppose to be used for block elements. I've done a search and read up on this over at w3schools but it was fruitless. I would like for it too look in IE the way it does in FF. I think it has something to do with the header or some part of the id's, because that feels a bit odd coding from my part. Please excuse the poorly formatted CSS, as the first part of it was made online where you had to use space to format it.

Best Regards, Moridin I'm designing a site with a combination of css and tables and I've run into some issues w/IE. I've got some content in a nested table <table id="content"> <tr> <td> Content... </> </> </table> and in my style sheet i have #content{ padding-left:20px; ... } Firefox recognizes this property just fine and displays the table slightly indented, but IE seems to completely miss it. I have figured out a few workarounds, but they end up causing more problems and there are also other thigns that IE has been missing.. Does anyone know what might be causing this? ALSO i have a <div id=divider> inside a td w/css props as width:1px and height:100% and background-color:#000000. again, firefox recognizes this and displays a black line that is the height of the td and 1 px wide, but IE displays a little midget line thats like 10px tall instead of the entire height of the cell. wtf? Im not a newbie to CSS but I am still a bit new to hand coding and div positioning. heres the link - http://members.cox.net/tekjock/test/ the body section I want it to be bottom 5px Left 5px right 5px I can get it to look good in firefox but IE it looks like crap. I have tried the above and it does not work. Any suggestions Thanks Ok, so I've having some problems getting a webpage I'm designing looking good (I'm better at the "behind the scenes" coding, not so much the visual part). Anyway, I'm having some problems in Firefox and even more in IE, so here goes. In Firefox I want it to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, I tried adding "min-height:100%" to the container's styles, but that doesn't work. Can I not use a percent for the min-height? If I directly declare the height to be 100%, then the body can expand outside of the container rather than the container expanding with it. I also want to make sure that the body is always completely filling the container. The page in question is he http://www.magicsoftinc.com/michigans_edition/ My styles are below and you can view the page source or use Firebug to see the elements I'm talking about Code: a:link { color:black; text-decoration:underline; } a:active { color:black; text-decoration:none; } a:hover { color:black; text-decoration:none; } a:visited { color:black; text-decoration:underline; } body { background-color:#BBCCFF; font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:0; } div { border:0px solid #FF0000; border-top-width:0; } img { border-width:0; } .even{ background-color:#FFCCBB; } .odd { background-color:#BBCCFF; } .preload{ display:none; left:-9001px; position:absolute; top:-9001px; } #background { height:100%; left:0; margin:0; overflow:hidden; padding:0; position:absolute; top:0; width:100%; z-index:-9001; } #backgroundLeft{ position:fixed; top:0; left:0; height:100%; } #backgroundRight{ position:fixed; top:0; right:0; height:100%; } #body { background-color:#FFFFFF; color:#000000; min-height:250px; } #container { border:1px solid black; border-bottom-width:0; border-top-width:0; height:100%; margin:0 auto 0 auto; min-height:100%; min-width:760px; width:95%; } #diggThis { background-color:transparent; margin-left:-27px; z-index:-9001; } #footer { background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center; font-size:small; } #header { background-color:#000000; height:271px; } #leftMenu { background-color:#BBCCFF; float:left; margin-right:4px; padding:4px; width:260px; } #main { min-width:500px; padding:4px; } #main .title { font-size:xx-large; font-weight:bold; } #menu { background-image:url("images/menuGradient.png"); background-repeat:repeat-x; border-top:1px solid #7E7E7E; border-bottom:1px solid #4E4E4E; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:900; height:35px; position:relative; top:-35px; } #menu a:link { color:white; text-decoration:underline; } #menu a:active { color:white; text-decoration:none; } #menu a:hover { color:white; text-decoration:none; } #menu a:visited { color:white; text-decoration:underline; } #menu .button { background-image:url("images/menuButtonUp_blue.png"); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:600; height:35px; overflow:hidden; padding:0; text-align:center; width:106px; } #menu table { padding:0; text-align:center; width:100%; } #menu tr { padding:0; } #userPanel { position:absolute; right:3%; top:136px; width:200px; height:100px; background-color:#BBCCFF; } |
