CSS - Controlling Div Tags
Im trying to control how the text formats within a div tag, that sits inside a menu.
The text appears when you rollover the items in the submenu and I want extra information to appear but when it does, it doesnt wrap 'correctly' I have the menu sitting he http://www.electronical.org/tmp/playsongs/ If you rollover 'Products > playsong titles', you will see some blue text appears at the bottom of the submenu. How do I format this so it is the width of the submenu and wraps to the length of it? Thanks for any help.

Thanks, James is there a way using css to control how much space is below and above a form button, because I have a lot of form buttons and the space between them is killing my design. Thanks Hi.. another question for the CSS mastas out there. I have a table taht I have applied a class to: PHP Code: <table class="middle" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td> <img border="0" src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"> </td> <td align="left"> <p class="customHeading">aaaa</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" valign="top"> <table class="content" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td align="left">aaa:</td> <td><input type="text" name="aaa" size="22" class="formField"> </td> <td><a href="#"> <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" class="formButton"> </a> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> .middle { width: 760px; height: 360px; background-color: #FFFFFF; } .content { background-color: #FFFFFF; font: 13px Arial, sans-serif; padding: 2px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to control the height of the outside tables first row. It seems to just take on a size depending on how I set the height in the element. Can I not place a height tag in the <td>'s for that row to set it at a fixed height? I'm trying to determine the best way to design a UI for a PHP application. There is a header portion with menu choices and a footer portion. There is also a background image 'picture frame' that sits in between the header menu and footer and gets loaded depending on the user's preferences. None of these three scroll. Within that picture frame, there is a center screen with a scrolling application. This portion would load different screens based on what was picked as a menu choice, and the user would scroll in the application if the particular screen were longer. Is the best way to do this using frames, or is there a better choice in terms of speed, browser compatibility, etc.? Thanks for your suggestions. Hello: I'm building a website for a broad audience. I need there to be an option for text to be resized for those who have trouble with reading screens. I am trying to have the text on HTML pages be changeable through CSS. Two examples I offer are 1. wired.com 2. 1and1.com On the top right corner of the screen, there are options to change the text size without switching to a new HTML page. I believe this is done using CSS (perhaps Live StyleSheet Selector). I'm not really sure. I would like for the user the have the option to change the font-size by clicking, not by repositioning the window (then the size changing relative to window size). If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Deanna Okay, I tried to see if this question was already answered on the forums, but I got ADD so I gave up. I'm making a nav bar out of a list and CSS. The bar is perfect, except for the height will not extent each extremity. Here's the CSS: Code: .navigation { width: inherit; height: 53px; margin: 0px; margin-top: 63px; background-image:url(file-bin/images/navigation_background.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:center; } .navigation ul, .navigation li { display: inline; list-style:none; padding:0px; margin:0px; } .navigation li a { border-left: 1px solid #FFF; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; text-align: right; } Here's the HTML: Code: <div class="navigation" align="right"> <ul class="navigation"> <li></li> </ul> <ul class="navigation"> <li><a href="#"><img src="file-bin/images/space.png" height="53" width="1" align="absmiddle" border="0" />Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li> </ul> </div> Thanks for the help in advance! - Logan Hi, I am using a javascript drop down that does include CSS to control the font style, size etc. It works great in IE. Mozilla is ignoring all CSS, both in the js code and my style sheet, when I change the text size via View/Text Size in the top menu bar of the Mozilla browser). How do I get Mozilla to bow down and take it (the code, that is ) Just to note, I have tried adding the CSS info from the javascript to my style sheet. No different results. Thanks! In a simple vertical list, the bullets are offset to the right of the container. Is it possible to control the amount of offset? When a Text Input is disabled, is there a way to control the visual characteristics such that it's not as subdued, or use different colors for the text / background? I want to know how I could possible control all the elements inside a table that is inside a div with an id. This is possible correct? So if I have: Code: #header { width: 900px; } And then something like this: Code: <div id="header"> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </div> I'd like to then have something like: Code: #header.table,td {padding-left: 10px;} Which I am hoping would put a 10px padding on all the td's in the table and nothing else. Is my syntax right? hi guys, silly question i want to make a certain portion of my text smaller, but when i put a span like this around it: <span style="font-size: 10px;"> then only the plain text, and not the links, decrease in size... what should i add? thanks glog 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. Hi, I have some code that looks like this . #nav,#nav ul which puts all the listed elements in a vertical list. Now if I do ths #nav ul.. this changes all the elemnts to a horizontal list. What does the ',' do for the id css tags exactly as i thought it refered to nested <ul> lists but is doesn't. I've used css to change my alt tag text to be consistent in size and font to the rest of the site, however, a couple of my images are relatively thin, but are tall. It seems that the alt tags get centered to the image, so you only see the middle of the tag, not the beginning and the end. Is there a way to wrap the text within the confines of the image. Thanks. I want to center and element, more specifically div elements with css. I have looked through source code from many websites. It seems there is not a simple solution to centering text. I have tried using: Code: .content { align: center; } I would like my content to remain centered even when the browser is resized. Instead for using "right: 400px" this works however for my resolution but not for the next guy. I am lost and would like an explanation. For other thread there were vague mentions about rightmargin and left margin. Unfortunately experimenting proved unsuccessful; therefore, leading me to write this thread. I greatly appreciate all help provided. Thanks hey guys, I got a interesting situation here. I'm building this site... http://www.peelautoradio.com/source/start.php The problem is, I've attempted to pickup the style sheets from an external file (site.css). Everything works fine, however, if you click on a link (that isn't complete) or refresh the page too many times - the styles are lost. here's the css tags. (I'm using include "site.css" in my php now). Code: <style> body { margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; color: #333333; line-height: 1.166; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: #FFFFFF; } #topcell { position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 10px; width: 750px; height: 250px; background-color: transparent; overflow: auto; vertical-align: justify; } #botcell { position: relative; margin: 10px; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 700px; height: 250px; background-color: transparent; overflow: auto; vertical-align: justify; } #topMenuLinks { position: relative; top: 2px; left: 5px; width: 548px; height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 9px 2px 2px; } #topMenuLinks a:link, #menuLinks a:visited { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #97163D; border-right: 1px solid #CB8A9E; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; } #topMenuLinks a:hover { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #FFDBE7; border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: #EC7A9D; text-decoration: none; } #botMenuLinks { position: relative; top: 2px; left: 170px; width: 548px; height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 9px 2px 2px; } #botMenuLinks a:link, #menuLinks a:visited { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #97163D; border-right: 1px solid #CB8A9E; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; } #botMenuLinks a:hover { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #FFDBE7; border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: #EC7A9D; text-decoration: none; } </style> Any ideas? I am currently setting the body id of my pages to highlight what item I am on... Such as: body#news #news_tab a, { border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; background: #fff; color: #000; } But I was wondering if it was also possible to somehow make a div appear (changing display from hidden to block) by putting an id in the body tag....But since the div isn't a link, for some reason I can't make it work. I tried: Adding this div: <div id="news" style="display:none">Testing Me</div> Adding this body tag: <body id="news"> And then adding this style definition: body#news #news { display: block; } but it still doesn't display. Is this just not possible? Is there anyway around it? Thanks! I'm sorta new to CSS-positioning so some of the code looks jumbly. But I'm trying to make the page work in mozilla's firefox and in the process of doing that I broke it in IE. Anyways, here is the link to the buggy page that the div containers hop all over the place. If you hit refreash enough you will see the lower section that displays the extra news articles will lose its left-margin setting and hop around. Plus it drops the archive container down below the extended news section as if they widths are clashing when they appear fine in firefox. I'm assuming there is probably some type of ie bug and I'm curious if someone has a link to a hack for it? Could use any help Hello, I've been messin with this all night but just can't get the result i'm after. The bit of code which follows, almost works - except the fields on the right hand side don't align to the top (to be in line with the top of each text on the left). What am I doing wrong? Can anyone please help me?
