CSS - Search Results
Does CSS have any effect on the way search engines crawl your page?
Like if I had some description text I wanted to have on my page, but didn't want it to be part of my design. Could I just put it in a div and move it off the screen with CSS? Would that text still be beneficial to search engines? Similar TutorialsI have the following in my html: PHP Code: <p><a href="mempage.php?do=layout"><span style="margin-right:125px;">Profile Colors</span><span style="background:#<? echo $memsettings['primarycolor']; ?>; height:10px; padding:0 5px; margin-right:2px;"></span><span style="background:#<? echo $memsettings['secondarycolor']; ?>; height:10px; padding:0 5px;"></span></a></p> In FF it shows two small squares with the colors next to "Profile Colors" but in IE it shows nothing. No squares, no colors, just the "Profile Colors" text. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP Okay this is kind of blowing my mind. Here is my CSS: Code:
body
{
margin: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
table
{
border-collapse: collapse;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
td
{
padding: 0px;
vertical-align: top;
}
td.banner
{
background-image: url("images/design/BANNER_TOP_LEFT.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 597px;
height: 70px;
}
td.map
{
background-image: url("images/design/MAP_BACKGROUND.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 203px;
height: 199px;
}
td.content
{
height: 100%;
background: red;
}
here is my XHTML Code:

Here is what it looks like in each brower (attached). I want every browser to look like it does in Chrome.... I don't understand why the others are different? Thanks... (haven't been at developing for a while). I keep reading how GREAT CSS is but I think it SUCKS!!! I have been going bonkers trying to figure out how to do what I want in CSS rather than do it the easy way with tables. If I can't get some help that actually let my page do what I want I think I will be forced to go back to tabular format. My page is here. My CSS is here. I've got the banner and the menu working fine. The look great. But now I'm working on the main content of the page. I want to have three different sections. The three divs are news, calendar, and main I want news and calendar to be on top with the main underneath both. What I wont always know is how much content is in either the news or the calendar. Sometimes the news section will be longer sometimes the calendar section will be longer. But in either case I want the Main section be be BELOW BOTH sections on the page. At first I could get it to work when the news div had more content. But not if it had only a small amount of content. So I posted on this site here. . Well it worked well enough after that. Not perfect but at this point I'll just be happy if things aren't overlapping eachother. So now I went back and added more content to the news section and it doesn't work. Now the Main section rides up and under the calendar section. WHY WHY WHY???? Someone PLEASE prove to me that CSS is worth all of this agrivation. I don't care how "good" CSS is supposed to be if I can do it with tables and NOT with CSS then what is the point??? Hi everyone, I am new to this website as well as CSS for the most part. I have been working on a wordpress themed website recently trying to learn as much as possible. My website is self-hosted currently so can't really give you a link to view my code. I just discovered the CSS validator and I validated my CSS file. It contains 13 errors (yikes!) and 16 warnings. However, I don't really know how to interpret it. I use notepad++ as an editor. The profile I used is CSS level 2.1: EDIT: Here is the new code for CSS 3. I only copied the errors part. Code: 23 .socialmedia img Property -webkit-transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease-in all 0.2s ease-in 24 .socialmedia img Property -moz-transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease-in all 0.2s ease-in 25 .socialmedia img Property transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease all 0.2s ease 38 .socialmedia img.fade:hover Property -moz-opacity doesn't exist : 1 1 39 .socialmedia img.fade:hover Property -webkit-transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease-in all 0.2s ease-in 40 .socialmedia img.fade:hover Property -moz-transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease-in all 0.2s ease-in 41 .socialmedia img.fade:hover Property transition doesn't exist : all 0.2s ease all 0.2s ease 60 #main-nav-search Value Error : padding-top -1.0 negative values are not allowed : -1px -1px 79 .menu2-top-right Value Error : border Too many values or values are not recognized : solid 0 1px 1px 1px #000 solid 0 1px 1px 1px #000 80 .menu2-top-right Property -moz-border-radius-bottomright doesn't exist : 10px 10px 10px 10px 82 .menu2-top-right Property -moz-border-radius-bottomleft doesn't exist : 10px 10px 10px 10px 87 .menu2-top-right Property -moz-box-shadow doesn't exist : 3px 3px 6px #7f7f7f,8px -10px 10px #7f7f7f 3px 3px 6px #7f7f7f,8px -10px 10px #7f7f7f 88 .menu2-top-right Property -webkit-box-shadow doesn't exist : 3px 3px 6px #7f7f7f,8px -10px 10px #7f7f7f 3px 3px 6px #7f7f7f,8px -10px 10px #7f7f7f What does it mean when it says "doesn't exist"? I'm trying to learn this CSS thing (driving me crazy!!) and I'm having problems. I validated my HTML (using HTML 4.01 Transitional) and it came back 100% perfect. I validated the CSS, and I did as many of the corrections as I could figure, and I got back this when I re-validated the .css file: Quote: To work as intended, your CSS style sheet needs a correct document parse tree. This means you should use valid HTML.

With how it's written currently, it looks great in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6x. But when I try to bring up the same page that looks so well in IE in Netscape or Mozilla Firefox, everything becomes "squished" to the left-side of the browser window. So, for someone who's more comfortable with .css than I am (I'm working from books), can you tell me where I went wrong in this thing? I can understand if the hyperlink formatting might not be "up to code" so to speak (warning from W3C CSS Validator above), but would it affect the formatting of the entire document?? I want to avoid forcing the layout into a specific width, so I tried using percentages and "auto" for styles so that it will be a fluid layout. As I said, IE shows it just the way I want it to look. Firefox & Netscape squash everything down as if there were no formatting whatsoever. Do I need to have separate .css code for each browser?? I don't have a Mac, but my boss does and I'm sure he'll want the site to look good working through Safari too (can't test it) HELP!!! Hi, I have given each column an id. I place the cloumn divs in a wrapper div named #row Code: .row{
position:absolute;
display:inline;
width:893px;
height:20px;
margin:5px,5px,0px,5px;
}
each div has code that looks like this: Code: #RISK_SCORE{
position:relative;
display:inline;
left margin:5px;
float:left;
width:20px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:9pt;
font-weight:normal;
}
But each column stacks up on the next, instead of lining up in a row. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? thanks -S This should be easy, but I think I'm getting screwed by how the browsers are loading and layering the css. Here's my code: Code: <a href="/somepage" class="WhiteTextClass">somepage</a> The anchor tag sets the link color to blue. My WhiteTextClass then sets it to white. This works. However, the visited link color is assigned as the same blue. When the link is visited it no longer takes the white color the class is assigning, it's going back to blue. Am I right that it's the browser and the order it applies the css attributes, or am I doing something wrong? I am using float to create a two column layout. When I included a <p> tagged with some emphasized <em> text in the center column, it causes some of the content on the left column to disappear. If the emphasized text isn't in its own <p>, the problem doesn't happen. Furthermore, it only happens with IE7 and not FF. Does anyone know why this strange behavior?

Hey all.. I'm still new to CSS in general, but know how it works. Anyway, I'm trying to get an element in a DIV to display properly, but for some reason, it isn't Code:
.contenthead {
background-image: url(player/images/player_03.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
height: 50px;
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 40px;
}
The result is at http://www.fairfieldmediacoop.com/fpactest/play.php?recordID=hO2GmjtlvSJKBgcqp4LZ The only thing I can think of is that the text I am trying to enlarge, which is the "Chamber Talk" in black above the video (center of the strip under the header) is encased in a Table. Would that cause it not to listen? This is based directly off of Eric Mayer's pure css popups. I know he states in his img tutorial "...considering that even if we used the display: none/display: block trick in the SPAN-popup demo, Explorer has trouble.", but the fact I have it working flawlessly for the first piece of code gives me hope. Of note -- for better or worse, I intentionally put IE6 in quirks mode with <?xml version="1.0"?> right before my doctype. I know it's not the best idea in the world, but it means my code works completely as intended for IE5/5.5/6, and all other browsers I've been able to test (firefix/opera -- windows). Code: HTML: <li><a href="#">F. A. Q.<span>We understand there's going to be some questions -- check here and you might find some answers or how-to's.</span></a></li> <li><a href="#">Help Desk<span>Couldn't find an answer to your question? Find a non-serious glitch or bug? Feel free to head to our support desk and create a ticket. We'll be in touch with you promptly about your question or concern.</span></a></li> <!-- Repeat, roughly 10 links, some of which are in submenus - all work as expected --> Code: CSS:
#mainMenu li a span { display: none; }
#mainMenu li a:hover span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 152px;
right: 32%;
} /* For posting I removed the formatting tags like border, padding etc */
That works as expected. Upon rolling over the link, the span is displayed, positioned absolutely elsewhere on the page. On rollout, it hides again. However, when I cut and paste that CSS and change only the anchor i'm referencing: Code: HTML: <td> <a href="#" class="date"> 08/06/06<span>August 6th, 2006 -- 8:09am</span> </a> </td> <!-- I have roughly 20 cells identical to that, but with different dates. Yes, there's good reason for using tables :p --> Code: CSS:
a.date span { display: none; }
a.date:hover span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
a.date:hover { color: red; }
/* Again, I removed formatting */
It works as expected in everything except IE. I thought this is because IE doesn't like the fact i'm adding a class to the anchor... a.date:hover span ... but even when I remove the .date a:hover works and a:hover span doesn't. What's going on? Thanks in advance, Brett Hi All: When i use <ul><li> and <li> is set to "list-style-type: none;" IE and Firefox renders it differently. Does anybody know a work-around for this? The good example of this and the CSS code is at following holzgreen.com/list-test/ HTML: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>List Test 1</title> <meta name="Description" content="x.x.x.

I'm trying to create a simple inline unordered list menu - no problems there - I've done that plenty of times. However, this time I would like my menu to have a border around it instead of being a plain box. As soon as I add the 'border-style:solid' modifier to the div, the text misaligns straight down, roughly 15px lines, out of the box. This happens on Firefox (and apparently on Opera as well, though I haven't checked that one myself). At this point I've stripped the page to bare bones, switched from transitional to strict, tried float vs not, tried margins vs 0 margins, and padding vs 0 padding, relative vs absolute, and attempted to manually shift the text through negative positions as well. No joy. Css: Code: /* Navigation */
#nav {
width: 821px;
height: 18px;
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color:red;
}
#nav ul {
}
#nav li {
display:inline;
float:left;
background-color:#9E0C0C;
text-align:center;
color:white;
font-family: arial, san-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
and page: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" > <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li>Home</li> <li>XXX</li> <li>XXX</li> <li>CCC</li> <li>HHH</li> <li>JJJ</li> <li>kkk</li> <li>KKK</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> (As I said, I've stripped it to absolutely nothing else.) Any suggestions would be welcome. (ETA: Also tried changing text size in case a too-large font size was making the text 'pop out' of the box. That is also not it.) I am using a template to make a webpage and it has a search in it. I would like to keep it and have it setup to perform a search on the site only. This the code in the template: <div id="navBar"> <div id="search"> <form action="#"> <label>search</label> <input name="searchFor" type="text" size="10"> <input name="goButton" type="submit" value="go"> </form> </div> What do I need to do to enable it to search the site where I'm going to put it. I'm brand new to CSS and I've been trying to customize a template, but it seems whenever I move the Search bar from the top left into the menu bar on the right side it offsets the placement of other items and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. My website is floydsewingmachines dot com (I guess it won't let me post the actual address?) but any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hi there, sorry to bother y'all, but I've been fighting with this css for hours now and I can't seem to get it quite right. I'm trying to center a search box and button skinned with an image, which I think should be fairly simple, but I'm not very good with css yet and it's being more evil than usual. I will try my best to provide all the pertinent information, and thank you very much in advance for any assistance you might provide. My top bar is as such, at the moment (the current issue being that I can't get the text to not be on the edges with the image border while keeping the text field and the button flush against each other), although I've tried a number of other solutions, this is the closest as of yet that I have gotten. Code: <div class="header"> <div class="leftAlign"><a href="/Controller?pageRequest=home"><img src="/img/spinner.png"></img></a></div> <div class="rightAlign" id="topRight"> <jsp:include page="AccountLinks.jsp"></jsp:include> </div><br /> <form id="searchForm" action="/SearchServlet"> <input type="text" id="searchText"></input><input type="image" src="/img/searchButton.gif" alt="Search" id="searchButton"></input> </form> </div> and the relevant css is Code:
div.header{
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 60px;
display: block;
text-align:center;
}
div.leftAlign{
float: left;
text-align: left;
}
div.rightAlign{
float: right;
text-align: right;
}
#searchForm{
vertical-align: top;
margin: 0;
line-height: 1;
outline:0;
}
#searchText{
background:url(/img/searchText.gif) no-repeat top center;
padding:0px;
margin:0;
display:inline;
border:0;
width:159px;
height: 31px;
}
#searchButton {
background:url(/img/searchButton.gif) no-repeat top center;
padding-top:0px;
margin:0;
display:inline;
border:0;
width:42px;
vertical-align: top;
line-height: 1;
height:31px;
}
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. I can't seem to get the search box to centre on my site. Everything else is fine but for some reason the search box isn't. I've tried to create a container for it (that didn't work) I've tried numerous different codes in my css file and still no joy. I could put the css file up here but it's over 1000 lines long. Not advertising my site just need a professional opinion: http://trisearch.co.uk You'll see the problem. Thanks for any help or advice I just copied wordpress's HTML 5 seach box code, but i will have to delete part of them because of the seach box's hint words When I add such words, it will not be displayed correctly. Anybody can help solve this issue. my website here nowrpg.com Anyone know how to design a search bar like this? If there's a better forum for this question, let me know. HELP!! I am trying to center and right justify my search box in my navi menu. I would like to have it centered to my text links but I don't know where to start... Any help would be appreciated!! The site is at: drumchattr.com/atlantis Thanks! Dave If you click on start and search a new windows opens, you should be able to see Name, In Folder, Size etc. I am looking to style the <td> cells in a table to look like that. i.e. same colours, lines and hover over effects. I dont think it will be impossible, but for the life of me I cant match the colour. Does anyone know what the colour is exactly, or has anyone seen an example of this style elsewhere so I dont have to waste time designing it. |
