CSS - Layout - Tables Hovering Over Each Other
I just changed my website layout from just tables to CSS but theres a few problems, nested tables dont stop at the border of the containing table they hover over them, and one of the tables that was meant to be another column moved out of the table altogether heres the site before and after i edited it:
Before After I was told to divide it up like this Code: <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="body"> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="content">Content</div> </div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </body> Can anyone see what the problem is? Similar TutorialsSo 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. I'm using what seems to be called a "liquid two column" CSS layout. Its a main column of 100% width left padding the width of the side bar. In the main column, I need to use table, but I'm stumpt on how to insure it doesn't extend beyond the right edge of the main column div. Can this be done? Since the side column is 200px, the main column has a left margin of 200px. So this means a table with a width of 100% actually extends 200px past the right edge of the main column. Playing with the right margin of the table seems to be the right direction, but just not sure how to make the table fill the space right, and work the same in bot FF and IE. Any ideas?

[edit] The purpose of the table will be to display row data from a DB. This was formerly another post. Making progress and almost there. I have a website under develepoment... My site I have 4 problems. 1. and most important in IE but not in FF the bgimage is showing through the margin or padding, im not sure which of the last image being displayed.. How do I get that out of there. Comes across as a red line after my top gutter. 2. The banner image and gutter images seem to move over to the right by 1px in both browsers. 3. How do i get the left container div to go all the way down the page. 4. How do i get the secondary navigation in the footer to align with the centercontent div and the rightcontent div but not the left content div. any help would be appreciated... Everytime I think I am getting the hang of CSS -- for simple pesonal homepages, etc -- they still always seem to get the worse on me. I am trying to generate a moderately simple page with title, prelude, menu (as per a table) with menu, content and comment box, followed by a quick sumary, etc. I seem to be having troubles getting the three -- menu, content & comment boxes -- to size correctly. I have a surounding box (by a div) for them, but they do not seem to entirely follow/use it as their parent... If I set them to top:0, it is the top of the window frame, but otherwise they seem to position within their more local parent div. Ultimately, I am striving to get into this CSS way of 'life', but it is very difficult as I am working mainly alone. I do have books but perhaps I am not seeing the info entirely correct... Perhaps some of you chaps/gurus can help me here. I have recently gathered that "html" is or should be used in the CSS file too...? Looking for help. My current (broken) home page can be accessed via: "dgringo.homeip.net/~dgringo/index.shtml" Here is the code and the CSS file: <head> <title>...</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="entry.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <h1>Me (iMac's) Web-space</h1> <div id="prelude"> <!--#include virtual="includes/header.incl" --> </div> <table id="main"> <tr> <td id="menu"> <!--#include virtual="includes/menu.incl" --> </td> <td id="content"> <!--#include virtual="includes/body.incl" --> </td> <td id="topics"> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic1.incl" --> </p> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic2.incl" --> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="includes/footer.incl" --> </div> <div class="adendeum"> Last updated <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --><br /> </div> </body> </html> ------------- The CSS file now follows: a:link {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a:visited {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a {color: black;} a:hover {text-decoration:underline;color: silver;} body { color: #000000; background: #669999; } h1 { text-align: center; } #prelude { width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; text-align: center; } #main { display: block; width: 100%; border: silver dotted; height: 16em; } #main td { border: dashed; } #menu { position: absolute; width: 20%; left: 2%; } #content { position: absolute; left: 23%; width: 50%; } #topics { position: absolute; left: 74%; width: 20%; } p:first-line { color: gray; background-color: green; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-right: 10px; } .adendeum { font-weight: lighter; color: gray; text-align: center; } I would appreciate any advise as to whether this degrades properly as the browser is narrowed. I didn't post this in the "critique" forum because my only concern (right now) is related to CSS. There is a separate style sheet for handhelds, so if you have one I would appreciate a look from there also. Most links are still inactive. Liquid design TIA, Rob I have the navigation set so that the background turns green on the current page. When you hover over the other links they turn green. However, I do not want the active link to change colors when it is hovered over. How do I stop this from happening? http://brittanyrubinstein . com/fulcrum/index.html We recently decided to alphabetize the Specialties on our web pages (using the .php files from the Includes folder). I have re-alphabetized them in both the .php file as well as the default.css file including making the first image coincide with the alphabetized list. However, when I do, the original image (for Hospitality) remains as the default image and only changes when you finally hover over Hospitality or anything below it. Here's the way part of the original file is set up: /* Images */ div#specialties ul li a.hospitality span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/hospitality.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } div#specialties ul li a.hospitality:hover span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/hospitality.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } And here's what I changed it to: /* Images */ div#specialties ul li a.apartments span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/apartments.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } div#specialties ul li a.apts:hover span.img { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 222px; height: 190px; background-image: url(../images/apartments.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 0; } Help! You can check out the current look at Connell Insurance dot com. . A thousand apologies -- this is a very poorly worded and general question, because I've learned through scavenging and don't know the jargon, and the answer might not even lie in CSS... but the problem is really driving me to distraction. Is it possible in CSS to define a hover effect such that upon hovering over one element, a different element is affected? For example, I know you can add something like this: #example a:hover{ color: #000000; } in order to change the color of any links in the example div upon hovering. But can you change properties of links in any other divs? If so, then how? And if not, then is there a different language which can effect this change? Again, a thousand apologies for the amateurishness and outsider-wording of this question. I will be happy to clarify on request to the extent of my ability. I am trying to create something similar to tooltips and having a problem. I know that the browsers support tooltips with the title attribute but I'm looking to do something different. Also, I know that IE has bugs with hovering on non-anchor tags but I'm trying to make this work in a standards-compliant browser (I'm not using IE). I've tried the code given by SantaKlauss and it worked fine. But why doesn't this work (a simple example to illustrate the problem)? Code:
<style type="text/css">
.test:hover + div
{
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<img class='test' src='test.gif' />
<div>here is some text</div>
If I remove the :hover pseudo-class declaration like this: Code:
.test + div
{
background-color: red;
}
It correctly sets the background color on the div following the image. So why doesn't the first example work with the hover pseudo-class?? Thanks in advance, Jeremiah If anyone can help me with this, I will owe my life, because I'm in over my head with a project for my electronic media class and I'm not good enough with CSS. I need to make divs appear when I hover over images. The images aren't links, just anchors. I have a long page with a ton of images, and I need divs (with tables inside) to appear when I hover over those images. Also, if possible.. I'd like the appearing divs to move relative to the browser, but if not, I'll settle for absolute. It must be so simple, but I'm waaay too stressed to get this to work. :[ I was asked by one of my friends if this was possible, and I didn't think it was but figured I'd ask here just in case... With image maps, you can have parts of an image link to different pages based on coordinates.... I wanted to know if there was a way to link to different pages based on colors on an image. Doesn't necessarily have to be done in CSS... just looking in general as to if this is possible, and what would be the best approach. Thanks. I'm not sure if this is an HTML problem or a CSS problem, but since it seems to be a display issue, I'll start here. I have an annoying minor display issue on my site , the solution to which has alluded me for some time. The pop up menues are created using CSS specificity but I'm thinking that has no bearing on the issue because the menues aren't the only place the problem occurs. In a number of places, I have implemented mouseover effects using the :hover pseudo-(class/element). In instances where the hovered content requires more screen space (to add a border or text decoration, etc) the whole page gets shifted a pixel or two (however much it takes to add the effect). I've tried adding transparent borders around the static images and increasing line height around text, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Hi all, I am having an issue with IE7. www[dot]novakwebsales[dot]com/help/index6.html When you hover over the top category tabs, it shifts the footer up. Then if you hover over the subcategory tabs on the left it drops down again??? It works fine in Firefox... Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tbone When hovering over a link, how can I make the underline thicker? Check out this site. link If you have a CSS menu that has drop down menu items and form elements near the top of the page, the menu disappears behind the form elements in IE 6. For an example of what I'm talking about, go he http://www.swingleandassociates.com/catalog/tindex.php?section=c.training.php Hover your mouse over CONDITIONS and you'll see that the menu disappears behind the drop down box. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried messing with z-index but it didn't seem to work. I may not have done it right thought. Anyone got an answer for that problem? is there an way of changing the backround of a <tr> using CSS once the user hovers over it? I have a Joomla! 1.5 site and I would like to make the colors of a current selection and the hovering text (when I mouse over a link) different colors. Right now they are both set to be white as governed by the following code in my template.css: .navigation .menu-drop > li:hover > a > span, .navigation .menu-drop > .active > a > span, .navigation .menu-drop > #current > a > span, .navigation .menu-drop > .sfHover > a > span { color: #FFFFFF; } What would I need to do to this to make the changes I need? Like is there a spot where I can split this code and add in another color? Hi guys, Im really hoping I can get some help with this, its driving me nutty. I am trying to code a page that has small 80 by 80 pixel images and when you rollover them I'd like a larger version of the image to appear(say 150px by 150px). I am relatively new at CSS and have been learning by playing around with it myself. Anyways, i just cant seem to get it to work. I have found code to have the rollover image show up as a different image from the original but nothing to change the sizes. One of the other issues is that I cant seem to find a way to do it without the smaller image becoming a link. I cant use Java on the site im doing this on by the way. Ive been roaming the internet looking for a way to accomplish this but havent had any luck thus far. If anyone has any idea how to go about it, or knows of a site that would, please let me know. |
