Similar TutorialsHi everybody. I am trying to transition from awkward HTML and haphazard CSS to valid XHTML (transitional) and a central stylesheet. I'm trying to create a small link list where each item "hovers" in a different color, but I'm clearly doing something wrong. The HTML file is http://www.bsuto.com/valid.html ( and the CSS is http://www.bsuto.com/sheet.css ) Thanks in advance for any help! http://lovemeforme.org/ang/ I realize it's because of the float: right and float: left, but I put it in a container with a set width, but it's made no difference. I can't put a margin-left/margin-right to them because the layout is centered and it won't work on other resolutions.. hmm, any ideas? Thanks! Hi, I am having some trouble laying out this page: http://209.123.229.141/racing_profile.php?user=2 (Username: devshed Password: css) I want the 'Latest Media' Box positioned in the middle of the left hand side, the 'Latest Replays' box in the middle of the right hand side and the 'Latest Events' box below both. I have floated them to the left and right and cleared the floats for the 'latest events' div, but the media and replays div won't floar in the "middle" of each side. The CSS for the page is: http://209.123.229.141/css/racing_profile.css I am trying to get an 800px fixed width box centered in between 2 outside boxes that are scalable in width so that the outside boxes would not be visible to an 800px resolution, or if the browser window was changed on a higher res monitor. I don't want any space between the outside boxes and the edges of the screen.... I can't seem to get this to work though. Thanks for any help....

What I currently have: dubdubdub.cybercan.co.uk/wavelength I'm trying to create this (don't laugh): dubdubdub.cybercan.co.uk/wavelength/layout.jpg (centred and with the gradient filling the whole background). I need the height to be 100% (the drop shadow to the bottom of the screen) with the footer (swirly line and social network links) always at the bottom of the page but visible. I've got no idea what's going on and it's driving me round the bend. I've obviously also got to do the menu and the centre image but I'll have a think about that when I get to it. Some advice would be really helpful...If I'm way off the mark with what I've done I'll gladly pay someone to help me out on this one as it's been a real pain... Thanks, Richard PS I'm really really sorry for including the web links but I couldn't think of any other way to explain what I meant. Hi im new to using css and iv come across a problem. Im trying to create a css tab panel and I came across a site which had a template ready to use! Iv modified the css and html slightly to suit the style of the site im designing, however the css tab panel renders incorrectly in IE Here is what iv managed to create: http://starrbuckk.googlepages.com/tab.html http://starrbuckk.googlepages.com/tabs.css Now I have no idea how to fix the problem for IE! As you can see its the 1 pixel just below the introduction tab. The problem is that the bottom border for the tab is white and it extends all the way to the edge. Im wondering if there is there anyway to get the left border to 'override' the bottom border so that it show up ontop on the bottom border? Thanks! So I've decided to go the 'pure css' route other than my tables for tabular database content. I had most of the 'positioning' finalized when I ran into a huge trouble . . . how to make a border image repeat and place it properly. After getting frustrated with the border, I decided to use one simple table just to get the borders correct. Everything was fine there even though I didn't want to give in to the table temptation. That is until I tried to add my suckerfish dropdown and have it centered. So now I'm stuck. My site is turning into a table based site and I'm really annoyed that I can't fix it myself. I've had trouble with coding before, but I always manage to fix it myself. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? I've been searching these forums and the web for 2 days and not a single example can be fine tuned into my solution. [edit] p.s. I know the css and html is a mess right now. I'm going to clean it all up once I get something working =/ http://www.mytreetv.com/showcase/index.php css Thank god I'm doing this site for free as a favor to a friend of the family instead of a paying job. Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and fairly new to advanced CSS. I am trying to get a liquid three column layout with a header. I need the whole page to center and the columns to expand as content is entered. I have a design semi-working in Firefox but in IE it is completely messed up. I would be happy to get it working at least in Firefox, but ideally having it work in both browsers would be nice. Any ideas please let me know. Thanks! http://www.randyjensenonline.com/working Hi, I'm an amateur web designer, so I imagine my problem is probably something infantile to you all, but perhaps not. I've got a page layout that includes three vertical content areas. One is a left menu bar, the middle is content, and the right is a Google Adsense banner add. My problem is that I've got the main content div position set to relative in CSS, but if the content doesn't extend past 600px then then Google banner expands out over my layout. I thought it was as simple as setting the right_content area, where the banner resides, to relative as well, but that starts the banner wherever the main content area ends... way down on the page. I also considered just setting the main content area to 600px tall, and if content goes beyond that then it will expand the layout because it's set to relative position.... but that doesn't work in Firefox... the main content ends up expanding out over the layout. Anyway, I'm probably being really stupid about this, but I just can't figure it out. I've attached my html and css... sorry it's so big and messy, I didn't know what you would need. Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? Hello, i am creating a website in dreamweaver and have created a custom css navigation bar online. can anyone help me get the navigation bar on to my dreamweaver website? i have the css files and everything for the navigation bar i just can't work out how to insert it into my design. please help as i have a deadline looming :/ thanks for your time sam marriott Hi, I want to display some products on a web page. Anyone know how I can display the products (image & text) in a nice looking box? Thanks CF I'm a design student trying to make an online portfolio and honestly I don't know much about CSS and I've hit a bit of a snag. I've been goofing around in Dreamweaver trying to get the CSS containers to do what I want but I just can't seem to get it. URL Basically, I'd like a two columns both aligned at the bottom of the browser. The right column would be centered and the left column would be aligned to the left of it. The left column would be a menu column and would be fixed and shouldn't scroll. Here's the CSS code: Please don't laugh Code: .container { height: 80%; width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color:#06F; padding: 10px; position: relative; overflow: visible; bottom: 0pc; } .menu { height: 80%; width: 300px; padding-top: 25px; padding-right: 25px; position: fixed; left: auto; bottom: 0px; background-color: #F00; }
Sorry for being such a newbie, the code is nothing like what I wanted. If someone could please lend me a hand, I would gladly appreciate it So I'm taking the jump from Tables to Div layouts for non-record elements like I'm "supposed" to. Just for starters, I'm finding it much more complicated than tables would have ever been, and there are a number of cross-browser problems that would have never happened, but I won't get into a rant about it here. So, instead, a simple question. I have some nested Divs I'm setting up like I would a nested table. But I'm finding that some DIVs are actually "poking out" of the original DIV. I didn't even know this was possible w/o some sort of positioning. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong he http://www.poweredpages.com/cityrecovery/index.php I'm trying to keep that red bar inside the top DIV, which contains a gray background (and a red border to help you see where the outermost DIV lies). Thanks, Jeremy HELP !! The header to my website is designed in css with <div> tags and some times the whole background does not load....any thoughts? Also I am considering the possibility that my header should not call to my stlye.css file, but that the header should be a table with the table having it own style...any thoughts on this would be really appreciated thank you sean (URL address blocked: See forum rules) is my site Hey folks, I have a question. I'm trying to get a site 100% CSS compliant through W3C. But I'm facing a few problems. Of course I had the site looking just the way I like it (but then had to change stuff to make it compliant and thats when the fun begins!). I was wondering if you could have a look and see why this panel isn't floating to the right like I have told it to! three60design.com/sky_site/home.htm This is my first full CSS website and want it to be just perfect for going for jobs and would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help.....
