CSS - Can't Get Popup Div To Position "relative" To Container Div!

http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm

some problems:

in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok!

in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image!

the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen!

Okay, I've been working really hard on getting myself set up with a static header on my website (one that doesn't move) using "position: fixed;" in CSS, though it recently came to my attention that Internet Explorer refuses to recognize a fixed position unlike most other browsers.

Is there an alternative I can use in Internet Explorer to ensure that the div I create never moves when the page scrolls?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm about to rip my last strand of hair out of my head over this.

(I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen).

I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen.

Example Picture

The site itself.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser.

Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important.

I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML

Here is my Html

PHP Code:
<DIV id="nav"> 
              <ul>
                <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li>
                <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li>
                <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li>
                 <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li>
                <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li>
              </ul>
</div> 





Pretty straight forward, now my css


PHP Code:
#nav

Hi guys,

For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ?


Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html).

Thank you

that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently.

However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image.

If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall.

(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html

This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work?

Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case,
which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature?
What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great.
Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links?
Thank you for any attention to this.

I have a very simple question:

I have this html code:
Code:

<div id="text">
<p><a>text</a></p>
<p><a class="red">text</a></p>
<p><a>text</a></p>
</div>

And this CSS style:
Code:

.red {  color: red;  }    
#text a{  color: blue;  }

I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side.

Hi guys!

Let's say I have this IN BODY directly:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<ul id="menu">
...
</ul>

Or should I do it like this:

Code:

<div id="top_section">
...
</div>

<div id="menu">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>

UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??)

Thank you

What i want to do is have a block set to the exact width and height that i want. I am trying to find it on w3schools and cant seem to get anywhere.

When i use the code below it works great, untill i enter text to it. i want the height of the block to be 15 pixels, the text is set at 12 in the external stylesheet. When i add the text it makes it about 25px or something... does this have something to do with clip?

Line-height also makes no differences.

This is my attempt at getting rid of my smaller tables

Code:

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 200px; background-color: #ECDC74; width: 140px; height: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<h5 class="left">s</h5>
</div>

stylesheet
Code:

h5 
{ 
padding: 0px;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
text-align: center;
font-size: 12px }
.right {text-align: right }
.center {text-align: center } 
.left {text-align: left } 

here is the basic idea of the site

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="stylesheet1.css" />

<title></title>

</head>
<body>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; background-color: TRANSPARENT; padding: 0px;">

<!--A very large mess of tables in here for my navigation bar at the top-->

</div>


<!--I want to have a lot of blocks (such as below) in here i was hoping to do with absolute positions and place them where i want.  Its basically a multi columned theme with a bunch of sections-->



<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 200px; background-color: #ECDC74; width: 140px; height: 15px; padding: 0px;">

I have having issues with IE displaying my page wrong.

The page is http://]http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/about.php (or any page within that site)

and the css can be found at
http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/cetr.css

It displays fine in Firefox and Opera but IE makes the content class lower from the top than the #right navigation bar (they should both be 20 pixels form the top)

Any help much appreciated.

Code:

.content {
	position:relative;
	width:320px;
	margin-left: 125px;
	margin-top: 20px;
	border:1px solid black;
	background-color:white;
	padding:10px;
	z-index:3;
}

#right {

	position:absolute;
	width:200px;
	top:20px;
	left:500px;
	border:1px solid black;
	background-color:white;
	padding:10px;
	z-index:1;

}

http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.).

The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly.

I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too.

The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page...
------------------------
A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12pt;
font-weight:bold;}
-----------------------

but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks!

I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Code:

<td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td>

.loginbox
{
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #9AA8C3;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 11px;
color: #40668C;
}
