CSS - Putting Shadows Under Pictures With Css

I have created a test page that mimics two columns. Each col has a header bar (div) and a container for content (div). This seems to work ok but, it just looks too Mickey Mouse (the .css)

Is there a more graceful way to do this? If you look at the html you can see that it is actually a number of divs to accomplish this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the test page.

Is there any method for creating drop shadows for curved borders using only CSS?

I have been looking at a css drop-shadow method at Phoenity but it makes drop shadows for rectangles.

I am trying to achieve a look similar to this:


but what I currently am getting is this:

Dear Ppls,

I have a website which contains text with picture .... on the middle of the page(article). You can see the text and pictures, actually i want it to reduce the width of texts.. but i dont know ... this site is citiplza.com/about.html
Some body could help me out would be appreciable.

Thanks

I am having a gap issue in my IE as you can see in both picture below ... I can't determine if that a css issue or a html issue.

The site is at http://www.stlaware.com and frontend is Mambo 4.5.2

First screenshot is a site viewed in IE6 and the red markings are the gap issues I am having

And second screenshot is same site viewed in Firefox browser .. as you can see no gaps and much cleaner ..

It's loaded via mambo module on top of a mambo template but I looked all over the html code and css sheet with no luck of finding a way to get rid of the gaps in IE ..

Can anyone help me out here?

Thank you
Bill

Hello, I'm pretty new to CSS so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Anyway, I created a website layout in photoshop and exported it to html, so far so good. But the area I have reserved for text is a picture, when I type over the picture it creates a cell, however my problem is when the text exceeds the width of the picture my whole layout gets messed up. My question is how would I put an auto overflow in.

Here's my code:

<tr>
<td>
<img src="images/index_02.jpg" width="279" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td rowspan="2">
this is where my text goes</td>
<td rowspan="2">
<img src="images/index_04.jpg" width="3" height="383" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have 16 pictures on my page. In FF I have no extra space under each picture and in IE6 I do. Why?

In IE you can see the container color (the non Orange colors) but in FF you don't.

I've tried a bunch of stuff but can't figure it out.

background:#000;
opacity:0.45;
-moz-opacity:0.45;
filter:alpha(opacity=45);
width:100%;

}

#chef {position:absolute; top:100px; left:100px; width:800px; height:300px; border:solid 4px black; background-color:#FFFFFF; z-index:1000; opacity:0.99;
-moz-opacity:0.99;
filter:alpha(opacity=99);

<div id="overlay">
<div id="chef">

Hi, you would have already seen one of my newbie topics here today, and here is another one. I need to put a image in the corner of an absolutly positioned div. I don't know how to do that. It would be in the upper left-hand corner.

Any suggestions?

Perhaps I should pick up a CSS book, is there one that you reccomend.

Thanks,

Wow I REALLY hate CSS. For hours I have been trying to figure this out:

Here is some HTML
Code:

<td>
    <div class="linksbar">
        <div class="linkstext">
            link - link - link - link
            <img src="imagelink.jpg">
            <img src="imagelink2.jpg">
        </div>
    </div>
</td>
[CODE]

the CSS
[CODE]
.linksbar {
    height: 28px;
    background-image: url(bg.jpg);
}

.linkstext {
    vertical-align: middle;
    line-height: 28px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
}

First problem: in Chrome, the text rests at the bottom of the div. I want it in the middle.

Second problem: in IE it looks like a mess. The text is sort of in the middle (more towards the bottom). the image links are at the very top. The image link height is like 20 or something.

I am a beginner with CSS, so if this question is stupid, please don't pay it too much mind. I am attempting to put a heading in the center of my page around a navigation bar that I have floating to the left, but it is not working. When I clear the float, it is stuck in one spot below the float. I cannot position the heading where I want. And if I try to use a div align, I get it off center and pretty much unmovable. If I use positioning on the header, I can only move it up and down, not into the center. So how can I counter that pesky floating nav bar?

Hey guys, how do i put the bold command into a css sheet?

I want to have bold consistantly throughout a page.

Hi
I have a problem with tables and divs
consider this table and divs:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
<DIV STYLE='hieght:30px'>
text
</DIV>
<DIV STYLE='position:relative;top:-30px;height:30px'>
text
</DIV>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

if I don't put position:relative;top:-30px; inside the second div the height of table would be around 60px (you say) as expected but when I put position:relative;top:-30px;, I would expected to have my table shrinks to 30px not the same 60px because I put two divs on the top of each other.

Obviously for one reason or another my assumption isn't correct. So how do I amend the code to get a correct height of table?

Perhaps I can use tables in this way?

Firefox is putting a gray border on most of my images. The border is sometimes on the bottom or off to the right. If I add padding to the images sometimes the border will go away. The images are not links. I have basically covered every option in CSS to eliminate the problem with no prevail my CSS:

Code:

body img{ padding: 0; border:none; -moz-border-radius: 0; -khtml-border-radius: 0; -webkit-border-radius: 0; border-radius: 0; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;   -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; text-decoration: none; outline:none; overflow: hidden; }

Hopefully someone has encountered this before or has some information to help?
