CSS - Formating <li>
Hi Guys
I have a series of <li></li> within a <td> The problem is that the lists are far away from the left side of the table hence causing all the information to spread over to the next line. Is there tweak for this to make the <li> info be closer to the left... Thanks Didi Similar TutorialsI have a left nav that I'm trying to squeeze as much text in as possible in 155 px. In IE FF/MOZ this is working fine by using various combinations of letter and word spacing. Opera 7 just seems to ignore most of it. Code:
#section_nav div a{
font-size:.9em;
color:#fff;
font-weight:600;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
letter-spacing:-.5px;
}
*html #section_nav div a{
word-spacing:-1px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
}
if I take out the *html it works in opera but then looks bad in FF is there any hack to show only to opera? or is there something to hide from FF/MOZ Everytime I think I am getting the hang of CSS -- for simple pesonal homepages, etc -- they still always seem to get the worse on me. I am trying to generate a moderately simple page with title, prelude, menu (as per a table) with menu, content and comment box, followed by a quick sumary, etc. I seem to be having troubles getting the three -- menu, content & comment boxes -- to size correctly. I have a surounding box (by a div) for them, but they do not seem to entirely follow/use it as their parent... If I set them to top:0, it is the top of the window frame, but otherwise they seem to position within their more local parent div. Ultimately, I am striving to get into this CSS way of 'life', but it is very difficult as I am working mainly alone. I do have books but perhaps I am not seeing the info entirely correct... Perhaps some of you chaps/gurus can help me here. I have recently gathered that "html" is or should be used in the CSS file too...? Looking for help. My current (broken) home page can be accessed via: "dgringo.homeip.net/~dgringo/index.shtml" Here is the code and the CSS file: <head> <title>...</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="entry.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <h1>Me (iMac's) Web-space</h1> <div id="prelude"> <!--#include virtual="includes/header.incl" --> </div> <table id="main"> <tr> <td id="menu"> <!--#include virtual="includes/menu.incl" --> </td> <td id="content"> <!--#include virtual="includes/body.incl" --> </td> <td id="topics"> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic1.incl" --> </p> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic2.incl" --> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="includes/footer.incl" --> </div> <div class="adendeum"> Last updated <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --><br /> </div> </body> </html> ------------- The CSS file now follows: a:link {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a:visited {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a {color: black;} a:hover {text-decoration:underline;color: silver;} body { color: #000000; background: #669999; } h1 { text-align: center; } #prelude { width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; text-align: center; } #main { display: block; width: 100%; border: silver dotted; height: 16em; } #main td { border: dashed; } #menu { position: absolute; width: 20%; left: 2%; } #content { position: absolute; left: 23%; width: 50%; } #topics { position: absolute; left: 74%; width: 20%; } p:first-line { color: gray; background-color: green; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-right: 10px; } .adendeum { font-weight: lighter; color: gray; text-align: center; } See the current solution here ... What I would like to do is dump the table, so that the images and captions wrap at screen width. I have been experimenting with CSS and <span>s but as yet haven't managed a similar formating. And ideas/solutions/pointers would be greatly appreciated Chris Jones URL Hey everyone, I'm working on developing a small CMS, as a project to help push myself into actually completing something and would jsut love some insight into how to clean up some of my CSS. At the moment im not satisfied how im formating the CSS stylesheet. For example Im working with nested divs, in this case for one component of the site, and I find I'm repeating certain perameters that could be avoided, but I'm unsure how to do that. Example Code: PHP Code: echo '<div id="article">'; echo '<div id="article_header">'; echo $row['news_title']; echo '</div>'; echo '<div id="article_content">'; echo $row['news_content']; echo '</div>'; echo '<div id="article_footer">'; echo 'Add Comment'; echo '</div>'; echo '</div>'; CSS: Code:
#article {
margin-bottom: 8px;
border: 1px #1D1D1D solid;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #4C4C4C;
}
#article_header {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #1D1D1D;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
#article_content {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #333333;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
#article_footer {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #333333;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
text-align: right;
}
To summarize my question, is there a better way of formating my CSS and how would I do so? |
