CSS - Problem When Browser Window Is Not Maximised
hey all
i have a prob....when the browser window is maximised it is fine...however...when i make it a bit smaller the content div shoots off halfway down the page Go Here To See What I Mean the css can be found here any ideas...cus im stumped thanks very much RF Similar TutorialsI fixed this issue ages ago on another template and now I can't remember what sorted it. My footer sits at the bottom (or drops down if the page is longer). When the page is maximised it looks fine but when the browser (IE) is not maximised it moves up 1px and you can see the background behind it. Any ideas? Thanks. I am trying to center a 760x580 DIV box in the center of the browser window (horizontally AND vertically) regardless of the user's screen size. Horizontal centering hasn't been a problem, but I can't figure out how to get the thing to center vertically. Here is my code at the moment: Code: <html> <head> <title>Center a DIV</title> <style type='text/css'> html {height:100%;} body {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;} #content { position: absolute; right: 0; left: 0; width: 760px; height: 580px; margin: 0 auto; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; background-image: url(grunge_paper.jpg); } img {display: block;} </style> </head> <body bgcolor='black'> <div id='content'> </div> </body> </html> I am not experienced in CSS or any web design for that matter. I am trying to make a very simple web site using CSS and I am being frustrated by some positioning problems. I would appreciate your help! Problem: When I restore the browser window to a smaller size, "things" in my web page start to overlap eachother. The smaller the window, the greater the overlap. What I have done: I have validated everything, guess and checked multiple positioning elements, fiddled with margins, and have browsed through multiple CSS sites looking for help. What I would like fixed: When the browser is in a smaller window, there will be a scrollbar that appears preserving the size of the web page instead of scrunching it all together.

I have a table of data where the text in the data cells wraps and fills the td cell with several lines of text. This is OK when the browser window is a "normal" size, but if someone is viewing with a widescreen monitor I would like the table to get wider and make the cell contents not wrap the text. Or if they are viewing with a small monitor I want it to wrap even more (table would get smaller). Can this be done with CSS, or do I need to do something with javascript? heloo geniuses. please to someone helping me for preventing more of the hair pulling out. I am trying to figure out how to repeat a border image, basically to repeat the div holding the wood images on this page: http://greentypeoftube.com/kc/ essentially to have the bottom expand with the user's browser window size. thanks to you for the thinking and the helping of me with it. s oh. also I am hoping for a way to show the scroll buttons only if the text [will be in another div being cropped by the content window}. is there a way to do this with css? I am working much very hard to be more with css to design than just designing it. When I resize the browser window on this page, the text "onclick" and the Cart and Search text stay in one place while the other text and background move. Why is this happening, I need everything to move together. This only seems to be happening IE, FF and Chrome seem fine. http://makethemoviehappen.com/darix.html I'm using The Man in Blue's "footerStickAlt" code to ensure a footer sticks at the bottom of the page even with *short* content. No problem there til I resize my browser window. When the browser window shortened and I scroll down, the footer has jumped up and is concealing part of the menu. Yikes. Pages where the content is longer than the menu are fine, so I haven't uploaded them. It's only when content is shorter than the menu that this issue arises ~ which is the exact issue it's supposed to be tackling! Flaw/s in the code? I've already tried ripping out the horizontal min-widths and it seems there's no conflict there. From what I can make out, it's just a matter between the menu and the footer.... altho, when the browser is shortened in the way I've described the actual footer moves higher than it should be. Still, can't believe it's blueman at fault here. Must be something I've missed or tagged wrong. Or maybe it just doesn't work with this kind of menu? For reference, Blue Man's original code is he http://themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/ Am just hoping the clever folk here will have some advice. I've burnt the whole day on this to no avail :| I deleted the other posting as it take too long to work on it and it doesn't work. So, I got the other code from google search and decided to use it. There, I rearrange, redo, customzie the scripts to make it work better. Now I have one problem. See the class "wrapper" that make use of the height. I when I have it set at 100%, the footer extend too far down and the vertical scroll bar appear at the right. This is not what I want. I figure maybe it's because of the float that the browser doesn't know the real height of the header and footer. Can anyone help? I would really apppreciated it.

So, thought anyone of you would know what I'm missing.. The problem here is that it showed up just fine on the webpage but not in Print Preview or Print-Out for IE. Code: <style type="text/css"> divBlackBox1 { margin: 50px auto; padding: 0px; width: 400px; height: 4px; display: block; /* for IE stupidity (to make height work correctly with the correct pixels)... */ font-size: 1pt; /* for IE stupidity (to make the smaller height work due to default font-size)... */ overflow: hidden; /* Problem is that it doesn't work for print preview or print-out in IE... */ background-color: #000000; } </style> <div class="divBlackBox1"></div> Thanks, FletchSOD Is there a way I can have a div on my page that does not expand the window area (creating scrollbars) when the browser window is too small? I ask because I have a three-column layout, but the left and right columns are merely aesthetic-- they hold no content. The center column is 1000px, which is my limit. So if a user has a screen resolution of 1024 pixels wide, I don't want the left and right columns to cause there to be scrollbars. If my far-left and far-right column divs weren't a set width, that would solve my problem-- but then I need multiple background-images, which is only compatible with Safari. I could also make the <body> have "overflow:hidden", getting rid of scrollbars altogether... but then the valuable content on the middle column would be hidden if the browser window is too small-- plus you wouldn't be able to scroll down! Any ideas? I need the video on my site to stretch and contract to the screen size or as small as a cell phone screen and show my whole site smaller. I'm always going to use this header on all the pages on all my sites. I'll either have a photo, video, background image or rss feed underneath. Like google web search engine has but with the same header. I just need everything on the whole page to always resize... streachable video i'm talking about that does this... youtube.com/v/vr3x_RRJdd4 Here's my site I can't get to work... crossroads.site50.net putting a v in the video link doesn't work...
