CSS - Moving Something To The Left Side

I'm working on a really simple theme. You can see the progress here.

this is a table-less theme.

trouble that I'm having is that I cannot get the content to center. It is all floated left. Now, I'm intentionally floating the left column to the left, but that's the only thing (and changing that didn't fix the problem either). So I'm hoping one of you css gurus will have some suggestions.

(link to style.css file)

Thanks in Advance!

I also am having this problem with the menu in IE6 - the right hand side of the menu dropdown, "Videos", is also showing up on the left hand side, slightly cut off. I know it's "Videos" because when I hover over Videos, the text on the left hand side ("os") also lights up. Is it possible that -999em is not far enough over? What could be the problem/how can I fix this?

A related problem, perhaps, is that the first below-menu item starts about 20px below where it should be. I'm new to CSS programming and I'm not too sure what's going on.

image showing what the issue is at kburke dot org slash menuleft.jpg - I don't have enough posts to link an image.

I really appreciate your help.

The menu's in a 980px wide container. Some of the site's still in tables but I'm working on changing that.

As you can see on the left there is a "glowing" blue-white fadey thing going on on the left of the page, but it stops after the header (#header) for no apparent reason. The page renders fine in IE, but in Firefox or any other standards obeying browser it stops there.

the CSS for the page border on the left is as follows:

#wrap {
background: url("../images/ilumosPageFadeLeft.jpg") repeat-y;
padding-left: 25px;
width: 750px;
}

(the wrap div contains all of the page's content)

How can I make the image extend to the bottom of the page?


Thanks

I have been trying to write a horizontal CSS nav menu for my website thinkmarriage.org/catalog/ based on some code I found. The menu seems to work great, except:

1. it is adding what looks like 30ish pixels of padding on the left side of the menu. I have tested in FF, IE, and Safari, all do the same thing. The code is CSS 2.1 validated. The link to my sample is: thinkmarriage.org/menu2.html

2. When I add the menu into my actual store, in FF it works, but IE turns the horizontal nav into vertical drop boxes. I was pretty sure the style sheets were conflicting with one another, but now the bar is working in FF, and I can't seem to find any problems. The two style sheets are :
#1 (for the menu) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/menustyle.css
and
#2 (for the site) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/stylesheet.css

The link to the site is above. If anyone has any thoughts as to where the extra padding is coming from or the conflict with the sheets in IE, I would greatly appreciate it.
(Sorry, the rules won't permit me to place hyperlinks)

Thanks for taking time to read my question.

How do I position 3 pictures beside eachother with no spaces between them? (so they look like one continuous picture)

eg:
______
|1|2|3|
|_|_|_|

instead of
________
|1||2||3|
|_||_||_|

Thanks,

Brad

Hi, I'm having a slight problem with my css.

I want to display a comment with a number of images to the right of it.

e.g

"Excellent" plus 5 stars next to it (note: images of stars)

so i tried this:

Code:

 <div id = "commentText"> Excellent </div> 
		 
  <div id = "star"> </div>
  <div id = "star"> </div>
  <div id = "star"> </div>
 
  <div id = "commentText"> Fantastic </div> 
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>
   <div id = "star"> </div>

css

Code:

#commentText
{
  font-size: 100%;
  color: #000000;
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-weight: normal;
  padding-left: 30px;
}

#star 
{
  display: inline;
  height: 24px;
  background-image: url(images/star.png);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  padding-left: 20px;
  
}

I currently have comment with 3 stars displayed underneath it - however they are only half being shown for some reason.

Any help is appreciated to help me get the desired effect. Thanks!

Alright, I run a joomla site and im working on making a 100% tableless xhtml compliant template. I'm very new at this so im trying my best to learn.

I used the Lean version of skidoo's layout as the base and then added all the appropriate php tags needed to make it a joomla template. For the one part I need two modules to load right next to each other near the top of the page to mimic the table version of the Latest News and Popular Modules. I'll show you code snipits of how I did it.

Code:

 
html:
      <div id="contentColumn">
        <div class="inside">
          <!-- middle column content begin -->
          <p class="blocktext">
            <?php mosLoadModules( 'banner', -1 ); ?>
          </p>
          <div id="users">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?>
          </div>
          <div id="users">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user2' ); ?>
          </div>
          <p>
          <div id="nofloat">
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?>
            <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
            <?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>
          </div>

css:

/*top users */
#users {
    float:left;
	width: 300px;

}
#nofloat {
	float: none;
	
}

So anyways this does indeed put each div tag side by side but my problem is that I need the following PHP code ( <?php mosLoadModules ( 'top' ); ?> <?php mosMainBody(); ?> <?php mosLoadModules ( 'bottom' ); ?>) to return to the next line after the div's, but instead it jumps everything to the right and breaks the template. So I added the nofloat css and that fixed it and put the rest of the content below the side by side div's but now it doesn't work in FireFox. Now I tried padding-top and that worked in both browsers, but its not flexible as the side by side div modules are not always there and I don't want 200px of white space on the pages that don't show it. Also as a side note I tried putting <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?> and user2 into separate div tags that that floated left and right but it had the same outcome, so I stuck with one float left that seems to work the same.

My question is what can I do to make this content show after the side by side div's and not beside it in both browsers?

You can see what I mean by looking at this test site in both IE 6 and FireFox.

Hi. I've a div container with a gray bg color then inside I've two DIV (left & right). It works on IE but on firefox the bg color the the two DIV is white and if I add bg color=GRAY for the 2 DIV the middle is white.

Hi. I'm a design student working on a website for my boss, and I've come across a problem and was wondering if someone could help me out. It might be a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a body wrapper div (subtitle, body text, etc) on the left that's approx. 705 px wide and a vertical navigation bar div on the right that's about 240 px wide. I've tried floating the body wrapper left and the navigation buttons right, but one always ends up sitting below the end of the other. When I use the "clear right" or "clear left" commands, it doesn't help. Any ideas what I could do to get them to line up on the top? I want them to sit next to one another.

Thank you very much for any ideas!

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a form, and for the life of me, I can't get these divs to sit side by side.

You can see the test page at www.details.at/search_test.cfm

It's a small form with a few fields and selects

I want each element to sit side by side in a single row.

Here is the code. I thought display:inline; would do the trick, but it's not working.
Code:

<style>
	#control_panel 
		{
		padding:0 0 1em 2em;
		width:600px;
		float:left;
		}

	.smalltext 	
		{ 
		font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	   	color: #000000;
	   	font-size: .7em;
		}
		
	.input 
		{ 
	 	font: .9em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
	 	background-color: #FFFFFF; 
		color: #146eb4; 
	 	border: 1px solid #146eb4; 
		}
		
	label
		{
		text-align: left;
		display: block;
		}

		
	div.search_cell 
		{
		display: inline;
		}
		

</style>


<div id="control_panel">

	<form action="http://test.at" METHOD="post">

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" NAME="search_box" value="" size="25" maxlength="200"> 
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">search</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<select class="input" name="range">
				<option value="50">50</option>
				<option value="Any">Any</option>
				<option value="1" >1</option>
			</select>
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">within</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<select class="input" name="range_measure">
				<option value="Miles">Miles</option>
				<option value="kilometers">Kilometers</option>
			</select> 
			<label for="search_box"><span class="smalltext">range</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<span class="smalltext">of</span>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" value="" type="Text" name="location" size="10">
			<label for="location"><span class="smalltext">city & state or postal</span></label>
		</div>

		<div class="search_cell">
			<INPUT class="input" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go">
		</div>

	</form> 	

	</div>

</div>

Hey,

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, you can see it here

and the css

So I'm not really new to CSS or HTML though I might as well be considering the last time I did anything in either that had much substance was a class back in high school, about 6 years ago.

This is what I want...

DIV1 --------------- DIV2 --------------- DIV 3

2 would be in the center with 1 and 3 floating left and right respectively.

Instead I'm getting this...

DIV1 --- DIV2

----------------------------------------- DIV 3

or

DIV1
DIV2
DIV3




...I hope you guys get the idea. I'm having trouble figuring it out.

My ext CSS sheet, if you care to look, is he
http:// livingway.110mb. com/mainstyle.css

the frame in question, he
http:// livingway.110mb. com/main.htm

I'm hoping it'll let you all look at them. It's nothing professional yet because I'm only trying to give an update idea to our "webmaster". Anywho, let me know what I'm doing wrong. My brain hurts right now.

I've been having some issues getting a design for a site I'm co-authoring to display correctly using CSS. I know that what I'm trying to do should be possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out and am getting pretty damn frustrated with the whole thing. I could probably do it with tables, and right now I have it set up with some javascript that I threw together, but css+divs would be the ideal solution.

Anyways, this is basically what I want to try and do (that's the javascript version). Just resize the window a bit to see what i'm getting at.

Here's the source:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>Title</title>

	<style type="text/css">
		<!--
 
		#leftpane {
			float: left;
			height: 100%;
		 	border: 1px solid black;
		}


		#rightpane {
			float: right;
			height: 100%;
		 	border: 1px solid black;
		}

		-->
	</style>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		<!--
	
		// get rid of all this javascript and figure out a way to do this with css
		
		var windowWidth = 800;
		
		window.onload = function() {
			getWindowSize();
			resizeLeftPane();
		}
		
		window.onresize = function() { 
			getWindowSize();
			resizeLeftPane();
		}
	
		function getWindowSize() {
			if(window.innerWidth) {
				windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
			} else if(document.documentElement.clientWidth) {
				windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
			} else if(document.body.clientWidth) {
				windowWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
			}	
		}
		
		function resizeLeftPane() {
			var rightpaneWidth = document.getElementById('rightpane').offsetWidth;
			var margin = 10;
			
			document.getElementById('leftpane').style.width = String(windowWidth - rightpaneWidth - margin * 3) +'px';
		}
		
		//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<div id="leftpane">
		<p>this pane needs to stretch as wide as it can while leaving room for the image at right, whose width is arbitrary</p>
	</div>
	<div id="rightpane">
		<img src="http://movingboxstudios.com/testz0rz/images/box.jpg" height="100%" alt="image" />
	</div>

</body>
</html>

Basically I need a way to have 2 elements next to eachother, 1 of which is an arbitrary size and the other be wide enough to fill the rest of the containing block. Any help would be much appreciated.



EDIT: Here's a link to the actual working design, maybe that'll help in understanding my question (don't open it in IE unless you want a facefull of ugly).

Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side.

So I tried this CSS value :

table {
display : inline;
}

then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work...

Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks
