CSS - Problems Aligning Content

Well here is my problem...
I'm trying to do a fluid design with complete css.
All is fine, however when I view my page I can't get the content to fill an entire area. I tried to use a width:100% but that stretches it way too much and it goes over the container div. What I want is for it to go the container div but not over, is there any way I can do this with the current layout?
I would post the code but tis a lil big so would be easier to just direct you to my site.

I have tried many different thing but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I have a content glider script, but I have added it to a wrapper with a background image.

The css is using a white background colour so when a new layer is glided up, it covers the one underneath it. However, I want the background to be transparent to show the background image underneath....

If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read.

Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide?

This is my CSS:

PHP Code:
.glidecontentwrapper{
position: relative; /* Do not change this value */

height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/

overflow: hidden;
}
/*
    Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px
    Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding
    Adjust related containers below according to comments
*/


.glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/
position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */
background: white;
visibility: hidden;
width: 330px;
}
/*
 Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px
    Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding)
*/

.glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */
width: 360px;
margin-top: 6px;
text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right"
background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/
} 





Any help would be great!
Thanks.

Well I managed to find a partial solution by adding "clear" to the "statusDiv" like so:

Code:

.statusDiv {
	clear: both
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
	height: 20px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	}

This kicks sibling divs onto their own line (which is what I wanted) but the spacing between divs is 2 pixels and I can't seem to find any combination of padding, margins etc to get the spacing down to one pixel.

Does anyone know of a way to control the inter-div spacing when "clear" is defined?

Thanks

Ken

I'm trying to make a few divs to create the same basic functionality as an outline (with disclosure triangles etc...) and am having alignment problems.

The first row renders perfectly but the text of subsequent rows overlaps the text of first row.

Here's the html:
Code:

<div id="contentBlock" class="bodyText">
	<div class='statusDiv'>
		<div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div>
		<div class="disclosureDivLabel">New</div>
	</div>
	<div class='statusDiv'>
		<div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div>
		<div class="disclosureDivLabel">Open</div>
	</div>
</div>

And here's the CSS:
Code:

#contentBlock {
	position: absolute;
	top: 130px;
	left: 200px;
	height: 101%;   /* Hack to force vertical scroll bars */
	right: 280px;
	min-width: 400px;
	visibility: visible;
	display: block;
	}

.statusDiv {
	clear: both
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png);
	height: 20px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	}

.disclosureCollapsed {
	background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_collapsed_wide.png);
	display: block;
	text-align: right;
	/*position: absolute;*/
	float: left;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	width: 18px;
	height: 20px;
	}

.disclosureCollapsed:hover {
	cursor: pointer;
	}

How would I make the text in each subsequent row (statusDiv) line up?

Thanks for any help

I am developing a web site, panopticinsight dot com. The header/banner looks fine in Firefox. In IE7 and Opera, the H2 subtitle is left aligned over the globe image. In IE6 content jumps outside of container.

Anyone know why there is a shift, and what I can do about it?

Hi I have an issue aligning some links. i have it perfect in FF but it is not the same in IE.

http://www.sun-awnings-direct.co.uk/the-carino-p-29.html

It is the white breadcruumb trail in question. Can anyone advise what IE is doing differently and how I can solve it?

Thanks a lot

After browsing through w3schools and learning most of what css has to offer I for some reason can't figure out a way to align items using css.

I was just wondering if someone could help me with the correct tag.

I am not sure if this is a problem that can be solved with css or not. I have recently switched from straight html to php and have no experience in css.

Basically I split my pages into 5 separate areas. Header, footer, right column, left column and center column. The problem that I am running into is that the header and footer are in the right spot on the page but the left, right and center columns are way off.

Here is a link to my site OWPT
I have my problem, with an example, explained in more detail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI there

I am wondering if anyone can help with a css issue I am strugging to resolve.

The url is simplyroomsandsuites co uk (forward slash) blog

You can see where the footer image is floating left.. I have tried to float it centrally but it disappears.

Thanks for any help.



.footerArea {float: left; display: inline; width: 950px; background: url(/images/main_area_bottom_curve.png) top left no-repeat; padding: 30px 0 20px 0;}

i seem to be having trouble aligning two css layers

i have a border and then content within in (content is images) i would like to align another layer in here to the middle left. can this be done?

also the HTML is wrapping around the image, any way i can stop this?
as the images should be along the bottom below the image.

the link and data are as follows:
http://wakefieldfhs.co.uk/stu/users/njacques/9

and one last thing i just noticed while testing all this, its not displaying the footer and ending data
(this only occurs on my server, not on my test server. :S
Code:

(
                                layout->doExifBorder();
				echo("EXIF INO HERE");

				$layout->endBorder();
				$layout->endBorder();

		

		 footer();  // for future refernce footer.inc include the end div's!!
		 ?>)

(this would equate to: )
Code:

<div class='t-exif'><div class='b-exif'><div class='l-exif'><div class='r-exif'><div class='bl-exif'><div class='br-exif'><div class='tl-exif'><div class='tr-exif'>EXIF INO HERE</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
</div>

<div class="footer" align="center">

 <a href='about.php'>about</a> | disclaimer | privacy | terms of use<br></div>
</div>
</body>
</body>
</html>

Hi all,

I was wanting all the columns side by side.
Any ideas where i might be going wrong?

Cheers

I'm building a site: www.bunjareecottages.com.au

At the moment, the middle column (which is the only variable sized bit on the page) is set to a min height of 495px. This works ok on larger resolutions, but creates a scroll even when no content reaches that length on smaller resolutions. That's as expected.

What I want to have the middle section having a min height of 110px from the top of the page, and 10px from the bottom. So if the content was very little, the yellow background would still be 10px from the bottom, but if content was really long and there was a scoll, the end of the yellow was 10px from the bottom.

Currently the yellow content area is relatively positioned from top by 110px, with margins of the correct sizes on each side. Everything else is absolutely positioned.

Any ideas?

So what I want is to have 2 forms with buttons aligned horizontally.

<form><input type="submit"></form>
<form><input type="submit"></form>

They should be like this: [Button 1] [Button 2]

But instead, they go like this:

[Button 1]
[Button 2]

And I don't know the CSS for it, so thanks in advance.
