CSS - Css Live Help
Does anyone know any good IRC channels where I could get some "live" CSS help?
Similar TutorialsRight, I've made it live and only one issue (apart from a lot of tidy up work to do!) Now I have converted from tables to CSS, the tables perform funny in the layout. If you go to the site: www.generating-sets.com The home page looks fine, if you select the top link 'about us' the page goes all over! Now, the reason i think is because there is a table in that page displaying the data. Now the table has width='100%' because i wanted it previously to fill all availible space. Now however, it sets its width to that of the screen! (and hence buggers my CSS!) So what should i do to the table to force the width to fill the content box, but not go over the sides? Charlie Hi, I am using Dreamewaver CS4 and i noticed that when i view my page in live view or in the browser my background image doesnt show up. It does however in the split code/design view. Any help? Here is my Page Code Code:

font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */

.thrColAbsHdr #container {
position: relative; /* adding position: relative allows you to position the two sidebars relative to this container */

/* Tips for absolutely positioned sidebars with header and footer:
1. Absolutely positioned (AP) elements must be given a top and side value, either right or left. (As a default, if no top value is given, the AP element will begin directly after the last element in the source order of the page. This means, if the sidebars are first element in the #container in the document's source order, they will appear at the top of the #container even without being given a top value. However, if they are moved later in the source order for any reason, they'll need a top value to appear where you desire.
2. Absolutely positioned (AP) elements are taken out of the flow of the document. This means the elements around them don't know they exist and don't account for them when taking up their proper space on the page. Thus, an AP div should only be used as a side column if you are sure the middle #mainContent div will always contain the most content. If either sidebar were to contain more content, that sidebar would run over the bottom of the parent div, and in this case the footer as well, and the sidebar would not appear to be contained.
3. If the above mentioned requirements are met, absolutely positioned sidebars can be an easy way to control the source order of the document.
4. If the source order is changed, the top value should be equal to the height of the header since this will cause the columns to visually meet the header.

.thrColAbsHdr #header {
height: 60px; /* if you're changing the source order of the columns, you'll may want to use a height on the header so that you can give the columns a predictable top value */
background: #DDDDDD;
padding: 0 10px 0 20px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
}
.thrColAbsHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}
.thrColAbsHdr #sidebar1 {
position: absolute;
top: 267px;
left: 3px;
width: 150px; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
