CSS - Question About Css And Dynamic Generation Out Of Ps
Hello all:
I got a quick question....does anyone know a method that you can generate CSS out of photoshop right away? I know how to do it with div tags etc. but I was wondering is there was a method of going about it where a person can dynamically generate reusable CSS like in the format H1 etc. etc. and not just <div id etc.> thanks! Similar TutorialsGreetings all, Firstly, I am just now starting to use CSS instead of tabled layouts. I must say I am impressed by the power of CSS, but am still learning the ins-and-outs of it. I was wondering if there are any good references/books you'd suggest purchasing or looking at online? Now for my specific question. For my simple page project I am using to learn CSS, I have a <div> that denotes the header. This is supposed to simply have a small .jpg image on the left and some text on the right, like this: ___________________________ |[ i m a g e ]....................text | However, it comes out looking like this: ___________________________ |[ i m a g e ]..........................| |.....................................text| I suspect it is due to the align: right of the text, but am not sure how to correct it. Relevant snippets of code: testpage.html Code: ... <div class=header> <img src="image.jpg"><h1>TEXT</h1> </div> ... style.css Code:
...
#header{
background-color: #FFF;
border: 2px solid #666666;
width: 860px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 30px;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#header h1{
text-align: right;
margin-right: 20px;
font-style: italic;
letter-spacing: 3px;
}
Thanks for any advice. I was thinking of using DIVs insteed of table to layout my page. The page would be dynamic meaing the text would come from DB so i would have new articles comming in daily. I will like I cant controll where the text is put on the text. If I use CSS width="20px" and hight"20px",, <-- Yeah i know it down to the pixle,, but that would mean i would need to make a new CSS for every article that where put into the db. <-- which would be a pain. So how can I keep the controll of placing my text without using tables ? Please help a new CSS user. Hi Guys... (and Girls) Great Forum you have going here... I've got a quick question regarding Dynamic CSS. I need to mention now though - I'm doing some development work at the moment, but, I'm not a developer so my approach and question might seem unusual to the experienced guys out there. Situation: I'm currently building a new site which is styled completly with CSS - e.g. No Tables or Cells. It's the first time I've done it but it's working great! The website is currently a fixed 760px across so that it will fit into 800 x 600 screen. Market research suggests about 20% of the visitors to this site use a 800 x 600 screen resolution and so I don't want them to have a horizontal scroll bar, but I would like the site to be at least 800px across for everyone not using a 800 x 600 screen resolution. My question is - Can I use a Javascript function to grab the screen resolution of a visitor to the site and then dynamically update the CSS of the site depending on screen resolution? And if so do you think it's a good approach? I'm sure there are others ways to do it but I'd prefer to work within the skills I already have, which includes Javascript and PHP. Thanks for the help... Matt Edwards I have <div> content that diplays at different sizes in IE and Mozilla, which makes lining up the <div> container below it difficult. How can I get the <div> container to expand to the size of the content height wise so that I can then capture it's height with js, setting the <div> container below it to it's proper poisition. Thanks. Hi. I would like to create a gradient similar to the microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads Look how the gradients at the top and bottom of the page work. Im sure this is not simply repeating an image. Does anyone know how this works? or can point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to achieve this? I looked at the microsoft site in Opera and NS, and the dynamic grad only seems to work in IE. So im guessing that you can also set a bkgnd image? for the other browsers? many thanks. Hi all, Bit of a stupid question this as I have checked w3 and w3schools et al and could find anything on this, but: Are wildcards usable in CSS? Example: I am going to be generating blocks dynamically, and instead of writting all these blocks into a stylesheet, I wondered if you could do it using wildcards. Example: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- Creation date: 01.10.2004 -->
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#block {color: red;}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="block">Text</div>
<div id="block2">Text 2</div>
<div id="block3">Text 3</div>
<div>Text 4</div>
</body>
</html>
Changing the #block reference to #block* doesn't work, any ideas? I don't want to have to add #block, #block2, #block3 {color: red;} etc... Ok im trying to have a division that expands with the content however, although this works in IE if i dont specify a height, in browsers like firefox the background color just stops even though the content carries on. Code: <div id="content"></div> Code:
div#content
{
background-color: #F3F3F3;
}
ive tried adding height: 100% but it doesnt make any difference I have the task of creating a question with multiple correct answers without using form checkboxes (for reasons I won't go into here.) I've made a simple question that works by replacing the src of a tickbox image with a ticked one when that answer is selected. It works in IE5.5 and Firefox but in IE6 the images show when the page loads, then disappear on clicking and don't come back. Can anyone suggest why? I've stripped out all the branding etc and put the basic page at http://www.normanlamont.com/test/mu...pages/index.htm Here's the code that does it: Code: function markup(which) {
// toggle tickbox on and off until submit
if (document.getElementById('c' + which).className=="chosen") {
document.getElementById('tick' + which).src="../q_images/tickbox_0.gif";
document.getElementById('c' + which).className="not_chosen";
selected[which-1]=0;
}
else {
document.getElementById('c' + which).className="chosen";
document.getElementById('tick' + which).src="../q_images/tickbox_1.gif";
selected[which-1]=1;
}
}
Hi All, I've got one of those wonderful CSS/javascript flyout menu's running on my website which is causing me a little bit of grief in Firefox and Safari. Firefox and Safari seem to be placing the 2nd and 3rd level items of the menu underneath all the other content on the page and therefore can't be seen. Seems to work well on Opera and IE. Here are the screen shots of what is happening in each browser: http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_ff.jpg - firefox http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_opera.jpg - opera http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_ie.jpg - ie You can take a look at the site and the coding behind it at http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au - just in development atm but this nav is causing me some grief. Hi all- I am building a tableless site out of divs/css and cant seem to get the one div positioned properly. I need to make the site as dynamic and liquid as possible so absolute positioning (i.e. width:320px; etc) is out of hte question... http://verticalextreme.com/about/hours_pricing.html i am trying to have the HOURS div and hte PRICING div inline with each taking up 50% of the main content width i currently have the following css: Code: #hours {
display: inline;
clear: none;
width: 50%;
}
#pricing {
clear: none;
display: inline;
width: 50%;
}
Thanks for any help in advance - rock on hi all ! I have some dynamic data that gets inside a cell in a table, the problem is that Im having problems to adjust the cell so the data can be seen more user friendly. The max width for the table is 1024 px. This is how it looks: Is there a way to make it look better using dynamic css,script,etc? Thanks a lot ! Thank you for your time and assistance. I am working on building my first website in 2 years. I am very interested in developing a good site interface with standard code that may be easily edited later. Specifically, I am interested in creating dynamic navigation menus that will be supported by as many browsers as possible. I have seen dynamic menus created with javascript, but I know I don't want to do that since some browsers do not support it/or do not have it enabled by default. Can you comment on whether or not CSS would be a good solution to get around this problem? I have never used CSS to create menus in the past, but it seems very useful for standardizing a site interface. I am also open to other suggestions, what would you do to accomplish this task? I want to have a web page with a list on it that dynamically resizes to fit the browser viewport with a minimum distance between list items. Here's an example I faked in TextPad: Normal view: User enlarges browser: User shrinks browser: How would I accomplish this in HTML/CSS? Thanks! Hi I'm trying to CSS a dynamic table using Dreamweaver CS4 the problem i have is to set my css i have to have 2 rows 1 odd 1 even and dreamweaver only gives me 1. I've added a second row which just remains blank. Can anyone help Heres my html / PHP: <div class="donation_table"> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>FAMILYNAME</th> <th>FAMILYCODE</th> <th>DONATION</th> <th>DATE</th> </tr> </thead> <?php do { ?> <tbody> <tr> <td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['FAMILYNAME']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['FAMILYCODE']; ?></td> <td>$<?php echo $row_Recordset3['DONATION']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['DATE']; ?></td> </tr> <tr class="rowline"> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </tbody> <?php } while ($row_Recordset3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset3)); ?> </table> </div> And heres my PHP code $maxRows_Recordset3 = 25; $pageNum_Recordset3 = 0; if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Recordset3'])) { $pageNum_Recordset3 = $_GET['pageNum_Recordset3']; } $startRow_Recordset3 = $pageNum_Recordset3 * $maxRows_Recordset3; mysql_select_db($database_MafiaLive, $MafiaLive); $query_Recordset3 = "SELECT FAMILYNAME, FAMILYCODE, DONATION, `DATE` FROM donations ORDER BY DONATION DESC"; $query_limit_Recordset3 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset3, $startRow_Recordset3, $maxRows_Recordset3); $Recordset3 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset3, $MafiaLive) or die(mysql_error()); $row_Recordset3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset3); if (isset($_GET['totalRows_Recordset3'])) { $totalRows_Recordset3 = $_GET['totalRows_Recordset3']; } else { $all_Recordset3 = mysql_query($query_Recordset3); $totalRows_Recordset3 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset3); } $totalPages_Recordset3 = ceil($totalRows_Recordset3/$maxRows_Recordset3)-1; Thank you Daniel Despite looking through the forum, having problems with dynamically creating an external CSS file. Can any one explain? Basically I currently have a CSS file: Code:
.normal
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
.userdef
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #FF0000;
font-weight: 800;
}
.big
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
I have set the site up so that the user can define there own colour of text for the userdef style, but im unsure how I can put this colour variable into the CSS file. I'm guessing I have to rename it into a .php file... but how will the browser still know its a CSS file?? Thanks very much for your help Hello all, I'm trying to create a site using all css positioning but I'm running into some problems that to me, shouldn't even be problems. The main issue I'm having is getting a container div's height to expand based on the height of divs nested inside the container. Vut all I get is the nested divs flowing outside of the container div. I don't have any code to share, because I have it so screwed up right now it wouldn't even help explain my issue. I'm going for a 3 column design, that is wrapped by said container div, and the container divs height would be based on the height of the longest div nested within. I've done alot of searching on the web, and the answer seems to be that this can't be done. But I'm giving it one more try here. I'm also a bit confused about relative positioning. Say that my conatiner div actually worked, and the height adjusted appropriatly. I have a left column, and a right column. both are position relative to the container. But when I do this, it seems to come out that the right columns top positioning is relative to the left columns positioning. If I design everything based on viewable browser area, and allow scrolling when necassery, css is a dream. But thats not very practical. It seems that css great for static websites, but not quite up to par for anything dynamic. Once I calm down and I'm not so frustrated, I'll start over and post some code if my explaination isn't descriptive enough. Any input would be appreciated! :-) I'm trying to build a box that i can place content in. This box should dynamically change width and height to accommodate the content inside. I have build out a non-working example here http://sb.cesarvillaca.com/demo/box/box.php. It looks like i want it to be, but it doesn't work dynamically. Can someone please help me get this working, or show me an example i can work from online? Thanks. Here is my html with php for height/width (non-dynamic) values Code: <html>

I am newbie in CSS but I do not want to surrender to use tables. In Explorer it is seen OK but is wrong in Firefox. Why? URL URL www.lekunberri.com/focesdelcamino/mapa.asp?id=31 There is div called "mapaaundi" with relative positioning that contains images as fragments of a map. Inside there are some images (arrows) of the class "boloaundi", with absolute positioning. I have previously tried something similar to this and works well. Thanks in advance! So, I want it so that depending on how much content there is on my page, it will be longer or shorter, so I don't have to stick to a fixed height. Draft: I was thinking I need to use a code similar to this link. Would anyone care to help me out? Hi , I followed this tutorials (http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/centered-dropdown-menus) and was successfully able to create a dynamic menu . At the moment the menu displays just one drop down and not multi submenus drop-downs. Can anybody tell me what can i add to implement something like ? Tab1 Tab2 Link 1 > Link1.1 Link1.2 Link2 . My css code is :- body{behavior:;} body{behavior:url(cssHoverFix.htc);} /* Main menu settings */ #centeredmenu { clear:both; float:left; margin:0; padding:0; border-bottom:1px solid #000; /* black line below menu */ width:100%; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; /* Menu font */ font-size:90%; /* Menu text size */ z-index:1000; /* This makes the dropdown menus appear above the page content below */ position:relative; } /* Top menu items */ #centeredmenu ul { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; float:right; position:relative; right:50%; } #centeredmenu ul li { margin:0 0 0 1px; padding:0; float:left; position:relative; left:50%; top:1px; } #centeredmenu ul li a { display:block; margin:0; padding:.6em .5em .4em; font-size:1em; line-height:1em; background:#ddd; text-decoration:none; color:#444; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:1px solid #000; } #centeredmenu ul li.active a { color:#fff; background:#000; } #centeredmenu ul li a:hover { background:#36f; /* Top menu items background colour */ color:#fff; border-bottom:1px solid #03f; } #centeredmenu ul li:hover a, #centeredmenu ul li.hover a { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ background:#36f; /* Top menu items background colour */ color:#fff; border-bottom:1px solid #03f; } /* Submenu items */ #centeredmenu ul ul { display:none; /* Sub menus are hidden by default */ position:absolute; top:2em; left:0; float:left; right:auto; /*resets the right:50% on the parent ul */ width:10em; /* width of the drop-down menus */ } #centeredmenu ul ul li { left:auto; /*resets the left:50% on the parent li */ margin:0; /* Reset the 1px margin from the top menu */ clear:left; float:left; width:100%; } #centeredmenu ul ul li a, #centeredmenu ul li.active li a, #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul li a, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul li a { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ font-size:.8em; font-weight:normal; /* resets the bold set for the top level menu items */ background:#eee; color:#444; line-height:1.4em; /* overwrite line-height value from top menu */ border-bottom:1px solid #ddd; /* sub menu item horizontal lines */ float:left; width:100%; } #centeredmenu ul ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li.active ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul li a:hover { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ background:#36f; /* Sub menu items background colour */ color:#fff; float:left; } /* Flip the last submenu so it stays within the page */ #centeredmenu ul ul.last { left:auto; /* reset left:0; value */ right:0; /* Set right value instead */ } #centeredmenu ul ul.last li { float:right; position:relative; right:.8em; } /* Make the sub menus appear on hover */ #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ display:block; /* Show the sub menus */ } Html Code is :-- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <HTML> <html> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="nat.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen> <body> <div id="centeredmenu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Tab one</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="active"><a href="#" class="active">Tab two</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five is a long link that wraps</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Long tab three</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Tab four</a> <ul class="last"> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Regards, Umair |
