CSS - Image Positioning Issues
I am recoding the site jthensley dot com (The forum wouldn't let me list the site needing assistance) to HTML 5 and CSS. I've redesigned some features, which are basically already in the new layout, at jthensley dot com / 2012alpha The 2 horizontal neon lines and the vertical line are simply repeated outside of the header by the CSS. However, one problem I have is that the vertical line that is repeating becomes unaligned with the header if the browser window is expanded. Is there anyway to have it as a repeating background, set to begin at a certain pixel position, and move to the right to maintain alignment with the header as the page is expanded?
Secondly, at the bottom, you have the copyright line, which I plan to use as a repeating background or image, as well, and my picture to the right, standing on top of the copyright line. Idealy, I would like the picture of myself to be in a certain area, and push down as page contents make the page longer, but maintain it's "link" with the footer. Any suggestions on how to achieve that? Thanks for your help! This is quite a refresher/learning experience for me! The CSS I have already written is below. * { margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; } body { font-size: 62.5%; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: white; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(images/horzneon.png), url(images/horzneon.png), url(images/verneon.png); background-position: 0px 137px, 0px 172px, 250px 0px; background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-x, repeat-y; } ul#nav { height: 185px; width: 1024px; margin: 0 auto; background: url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat; } height: 185px; width: 1024 px; Similar TutorialsHi all, I have a page that is generated through PERL, but I cannot get the positioning right. There are graphics, 1 - 9 depending on what the user chooses, that I need to display at the top of the page. Below this, I need to place text descriptions of the graphics. However, the text is displaying under the graphics. The code that I am using for the CSS is: Code:
.MainWindow{
position: absolute;
max-width: 800px;
width: expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "100%" );
font-family:Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:Medium;
color:#AF31F4;
background-color:white;
Height: auto;
margin: 0 auto ;
}
.ShowCards {
position: absolute;
vertical-align: top;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 2px;
width: 640px;
height: auto;
Left: 200px;
COLOR: #AF31F4;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
FONT-SIZE: 11pt;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
border-color:Red;
border-style:solid;
}
.Location2_3 {
position: absolute;
top: 110px;
left: 160px;
width: 85px;
height: 110px;
text-align: center;
}
.Location2_5 {
position: absolute;
top: 110px;
left: 310px;
width: 85px;
height: 110px;
text-align: center;
}
.Location3_4 {
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
left: 235px;
width: 85px;
height: 110px;
text-align: center;
}
.Text1 {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
top-margin: 20px;
left: 10px;
width: 500px;
}
This of course is not the complete CSS file, it is only representative. If you need/want to see the complete file, you can go here And the HTML that gets generated is: Code: <Body> <DIV CLASS="MainWindow"> <div id="printReady"> <DIV CLASS="ShowCards"> <DIV CLASS="Location1_4"> 1<BR> <img src="../tiles/thumbs/ansuz.jpg"> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="Location2_5"> 2<BR> <img src="../tiles/thumbs/daeg-r.jpg"> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="Location2_3"> 3<BR> <img src="../tiles/thumbs/fehu.jpg"> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="Location3_4"> 4<BR> <img src="../tiles/thumbs/nauthiz.jpg"> </DIV> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="Text4"> Rune 1<BR> <font color="#0000FF">Name: Ansuz</font><BR> <font color="#0000FF">Position 1</font>: Past feelings and desires<br> <font color="#FF0000">Keywords:</font> ...

I am trying to get my left hand navigation to sit at the top of the cell and no matter what I change it won't budge! You can see what I am working on at www. freedomwhalewatch .com.au /Stirling /index.html as you can see the left hand navigation is sitting towards the bottom... anyone have any suggestions as to how I would move it up to be directly underneath the logo? To see my working files just use the right click and view page source. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I am a newbie to css! Cheers, Jen ** UPDATE - sorry guys i spelt the url incorrectly! http://www. freedomwhalewatch .com.au/Stirling /index.html I am trying to position two buttons on a line.

And here's a link to the test page: http://rentalocal.thad.com/test Does anyone know what I've done wrong? Thanks, Thad I'm having some issues with the positioning of a link in my header. For some reason in IE 7, it does not line up below the search box like it shows in IE 8, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I cannot figure out for the life of me, what's wrong. http://trinebay.net/cart/ is the site. You can see in the header the advanced search is the link that wont align in IE7 and probably IE6 as well. Thanks for the help guys For a search tool, I have a "results toolbar", horizontally across the top of the results page. Within this toolbar (position: relative) I have a span containing the current page, absolutely positioned at top: 8px; left: 5px; What I get when rendering however, is the following: Right: http://tim.komta.com/images/css/Firefox.gif Wrong: http://tim.komta.com/images/css/IE.gif More accurately, I should say that I get what I expect in Firefox, and not what I expect in IE, which is not overly surprising. Anyway, what am I doing wrong? If I change the text-align of the box from right (current) back to left, it's still overlaid on top of the images, but on the left, like it's supposed to be. It kinda seems like IE is making the images the bounding box for absolute positioning. Any thoughts? MPEDrummer Using Firefox, the current state of the site I am working looks like I want it to look, yet in IE 6 it does not look correct, surprise. (IE7 looks great). I've tried several things, and I am completely lost as to a solution, I'd love some help, or suggestions, thanks. UTC Site Hi, First off, I've tried a quick search to see if anyone else has posted this problem, but didn't come up with anything. So, if I am repeating, apologies :-) Anyway, I've got a problem that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. It's probably quite simple, but my CSS is a bit hit and miss ;-) Anyway, firstly, here's the CSS: Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #FFFFFF url(images/img01.gif) repeat-x;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #8E959B;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 225px;
margin: auto;
padding: 12px 0 0 0;
}
#logo {
float: left;
width: 208px;
height: 208px;
margin: 0px 0 0 14px;
padding: 0 15px 0 0;
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
}
#logo h1 {
padding: 120px 0 0 0;
text-align: center;
letter-spacing: -3px;
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: normal;
}
#logo h2 {
margin-top: -10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: medium;
}
#logo a {
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: lowercase;
}
#logo a:hover {
color: #990000;
}
#splash {
position: absolute;
left: 250px;
margin-right: 10px;
top: 100px;
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
width: 73%;
max-width: 73%;
height: 115px;
}
#menu {
float: right;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
#menu ul {
height: 55px;
margin: 0;
padding: 41px 0;
list-style: none;
}
#menu li {
display: inline;
}
#menu a {
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
display: block;
float: left;
width: 80px;
height: 22px;
padding-top: 12px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: lowercase;
letter-spacing: -1px;
font-size: 1em;
}
#menu a:hover, #menu .active a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
And the HTML: Code: <body> <div id="header"> <div id="logo"> <h1><a href="#">Company Logo Image</h1> <h2></a></h2> </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li ><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">News</a></li> <li><a href="#">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="#">Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="splash">This is the page heading montage image</div> </div> </div> </body> The problem is, I need the splash div to resize depending on the width of the screen. The idea being a cheat so depending on different resolutions, the different the size of the div and with a background-image set, the image will appear to expand/contract depending on the width of the screen. It's gonna be a repeating montage image. If the window is over, say, 80% wide, then it works fine. Thing is, if you shrink the width of the window past about 80%, then the div starts to go off the right hand side of the screen... Hopefully I've made myself reasonably clear? Any ideas? Thanks! Hello I've been developing a new website for my dad.. Unfortunatly i cant seem to get some of the things to look how i want them. so i was wondering if you could help, as some of you have been a great help to me on previous websites. the pages in question are the following: http://visitours2london.com/v2/ (in internet explorer) the middle conent drops below the sidebars. (in firefox its fine) http://visitours2london.com/v2/tours2.html (both in i.e. and firefox doesnt come out right) i cant get the titles of the dt tags to align to the right hand side.. and in i.e. the back to top text jumps to the far right, overlaying onto side bar two.. All pages are xhtml valid... link to check is on bottom of the page... Ignore everything else on the website, its simply those two pages that im working on.. other aspects of the website will either not load or not work properly as ive not finished them. EDIT: OK, I've worked out all of the issues except the fourth one, which doesn't really have to do with CSS specifically. Why do line breaks insert gaps? The problem is especially prevalent in IE. First issue: I'm trying to position one image over another image and its inserting this big gap! As seen on http://www.zacwittedesign.com/olive/pool.html we have the "about the pool" image position on top of the big image to the left side, but you can see there is a big gap above the big image. If I simply comment out the 'about the pool' image, the gap goes away and all is fine. I thought relatively placed elements were not supposed to affect the flow of elements beneath them? Can you see anything wrong in my code? Second Issue: There are two issues with the layer on the top of the page where the dots should be coming out of 'new projects' (id=projects_layer). It should be positioned over top.jpg as seen in hotstuff.html. In that page I manually moved it down by adding an additional 60px to the relative offset, but the space where it would have occupied remains and pushes the whole page down. Everything should look like it does in portfolio.html which doesn't currently use layers. You can see a version without my manually shifting it down and demonstrating the third issue at pool-valign.html. Third Issue: The vertical-align of all the images inside the projects layer. For the layout to be correct, the images need to be top-aligned or they won't line up with the dots and they'll slightly cover the button images beneath them. I have a style property set vertical-align:top; but it doesn't seem to do anything. Do I misunderstand the vertical-align property? There's also a small gap beneath the images when viewed with IE. I've changed the background color of the layer so you can more easily see the problem. Fourth issue: You've probably noticed in my code that I insert and HTML comment for every line break. That is because if I don't, IE reads the line beaks as non-whitespace and inserts both vertical or horizontal gaps between the images. Whats the deal there? Fifth Issue: In IE there is a one or two pixel gap above right.jpg where the tim olive logo is. This doesn't happen on firefox and it doesn't happen on pages that don't use layers like portfolio.html. ...And I haven't even tried it on a mac browser yet... Hello, I'm relatively new to using CSS as the foundation of a site, as i've only ever built sites for family/work etc using tables. I have used it previously for styling and so on, but not as intensively as i now am. It's great, but a couple of issues are giving me a headache - the fun of web design, hey?... I'm experiencing two problems, and have spent a lot of time describing them (with examples and images) on the following page - fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm - not wanting to clutter up the forum with my explanations and too many images. The first is to do with the 100% height trick - my "wrapper" div is not expanding with my "content" div - but i do not believe faux columns are possible for my design (if someone proves me wrong, great!) as i don't have two full height columns, but one content column and a vertical menu div... The second issues is with a Horizontal menu i am using as main navigation. In both FireFox & Chrome, the menu shifts down so the text links are unreadable unless hovered over. In IE, it's positioned as i want (with Comp View Settings turned on for IE8). So, if anyone could shed come light on my problems, i'd love to hear some ideas. The full explanation, complete with working examples and images (as well as my code) can be seen at fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm. Thanks in advance, Azerus85 In the code below, why is the image not positioned at the very top of the DIV in IE only (seems to be fine in FF)? Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
.test {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #003366;
}
.image {
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="test">
<img class="image" src="images/block_up.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="">
</div>
</body>
</html>
HTML -- CSS I decided my last layout looked like poop so I'm changing it. In FF the center logo fits right in the middle of the background image to give it a stretching effect. In IE the image is slightly above the baseline. (maybe 3-5 px) Any help here? I am building a site and using CSS selectively where I need to control positioning. The site is tapmytrees.com I am having an issue controlling the positioning of the "Add This" image at the footer of the page. I am able to position this right, center, or left, but other than that, have no luck. Currently I am using the following code: #divAddThis { text-align:center; } I am able to use this code to control the positioning of the line below this image: #divLive { float:left; /* moves to right in footer*/ left:-24px; /* adjusts position */ position:relative;/*needed for left and bottom to work*/ text-align:left; /*align text*/ bottom: 5px; /*move up a bit off the search line*/ } When I try to apply the same code to #divAddThis, it has no effect. In fact, using code similar to #divLive, it does not even show up when viewing the results in FireBug. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Here is the website i am struggling with, http://www.richmondsproperty.co.uk/ . i am trying to place a linked image in the top right corner, above the phone number without moving anything else. I tried to put it in a div and use float right but it just pushed everything else down. Here is the code being used Code: <div id="header">
<div id="header_logo">
<a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>"><img src="/public/images/logo.jpg" alt="Primmer Olds logo" /></a>
</div>
<div id="top_menu">

<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>about-us/" <?php echo ( preg_match("/\babout-us\b/i", uri_string()) ? ' class="down" ' : '' ); ?>>about us</a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>why-choose-us/" <?php echo ( uri_string() == '/why-choose-us/' ? ' class="down" ' : '' ); ?>>why choose us</a></li>

Any help would be appreciated, thanks! please look at this link http://sudhakargolakaram.co.in/image.html my question is how to place the image which has a curve design starting from the left till the right along with the 3 square images in between keeping this image aside the width of the wrapper is 825px which is fine the 1st div after the wrapper has content within the dark green at the very top and its width is the same as the wrapper which is 825px and the div after this are also 825px in order to have this curve image whose width is 1204px and height 266px as the 2nd div is what i need help with as of now my code is #wrapper { width: 825px; margin: 0 auto; } #contentwrapper{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 1900px; } #toprowouter{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 25px; } #menu{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 57px; color: #fff; } and code for other divs just for the sake of this 1 image with 1204 X 266 i guess it is really not needed to change the wrapper to #wrapper{ width: 1204px; margin: 0 auto; } and there after all the other divs will need to have a width of 1204px and i will have to apply padding on left and right to a container div so that the actual content will have a width of 825px how is it possible to have the image with 1204 X 266 sit inside the wrapper whose width is set to 825px or should i change the wrapper width to 1204px just because of this big image please provide the code for this thanks. I'm new to CSS. What is the best way to position an image? I tried using this: #image { position: absolute; top: 234px; left: 567px } But for some reason it doesn't work...How can I position an image? Thanks PS another thing that's been bothering me is when do you put: (in the external stylesheet) .image {..... } when do you put #image {...... } and when do you put *#image {...... } What's the difference between them and what circumstances do you use them in? Is this possible with css? I have a single table cell thats 100% wide. I want an image left aligned, an image right aligned and a background image spaning the entire cell. I also want to type text into the cell between the two images. Using html I get bugs in IE so I think css might be the better option? I have the following Code:
<td rowspan="2">
<img class="gallerypic" name="<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" src="pictures/thumbs/<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" width="<?php echo $pic['thumb_width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $pic['thumb_height']; ?>">
</td>
<td>
<div class="header">Caption</div>
<div class="captionText">CaptionText</div>
</td>
I want the two div's to be positioned at the top of the TD they are in. I tried all different positioning stuff in thee CSS for their classes. What am I missing here? I really hate CSS sometimes. Do I need to style the TD to get this working? |
