CSS - How To Display A Footer Below Two Absolute And 1 Default

The year is 2009, and surely there is a way to such a simple thing as displaying photos of unknown size in the H-center of a Div--without running off the screen. Oh wait, there isn't. The problem:

Given unknown picture size,

1) if I don't specify absolute positioning (or fixed), I can center it but then it floats to the top of the parent which looks silly.

2) If I do specify absolute (or fixed) positioning, I can't center it.

Please prove me wrong. I just want a simple slide-show page without telling folks what to set their resolution at, or how big the pictures need to be.

Hey everyone,

So I'm working on a website for a client and I am running into a bit of a weird problem..

The home page displays as follows: http://www.beitelligent.com/clients/keldan/index.php

As you can see, the footer is pushed to the absolute bottom - where it should be.. this is displaying correctly.

I began to make sub-pages and ran into the problem, where the footer isn't pushing to the bottom.. http://www.beitelligent.com/clients/keldan/about.php - Any ideas??

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter Barbosa

I've dabbled with the display: table properties for awhile, and I've looked forward to the time I could use them at work. Equal height columns! No more faking it with extra wrapper div's and background images!

As we're finally rolling out IE8 at work, I decided to take a pretty typical layout that I would have laid out years ago in a table. Header, footer, nav and content, that is always at least the height of the page and will expand with more content:

This could be done using floats, background images, etc, but I wanted to take advantage of what display: table could offer me. So I tried to recreate the same layout. I knew there was no colspan in CSS, but I was sure I could get it to work somehow.

My first attempt showed the colspan issue:

My second attempt I couldn't get the page to match at least the height of the browser:

http://www.richarddoyle.net/tests/css_table/cssversion2.html

Is this just impossible to do with display:table properties? Is there some mixture of table properties and sticky footer code that can make this work?

on my page http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/news/

the left side :

Code:

.content {
	position:relative;
	width:300px;
	margin-left: 155px;
	margin-top: 20px;
	border:1px solid black;
	background-color:white;
	padding:10px;
	z-index:3;
}

and the two on the right are :

Code:

#right {

	position:absolute;
	width:200px;
	top:20px;
	left:500px;
	border:1px solid black;
	background-color:white;
	padding:10px;
	z-index:1;

}

#sidebar {

	position:absolute;
	width:200px;
	top:400px;
	left:500px;
	border:1px solid black;
	background-color:white;
	padding:10px;
	z-index:1;

}

If someone has a their font bigger on the artists section then the div will grow and go under the sidebar div.

Any way to make these relative or fix that problem?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble with my website structure... view this page for an example...

css is here...

The Footer (which currently consists just of the validation images) is suppossed to be at the bottom of the page...

It works in IE except there is a little line between the images (it is also part of the link...), and it doesn't work at all in FF...

how do I get rid of the line in IE, and what do I need to add or change in my css to get it to be viewed properly in FF?

Thanks
Bryan

I would like to set my site so that any text not given a specific class id for CSS will appear as a certain font.

can I do this, and if so, how?

thanks.

Hey all, I'm developing an app for a client, and I've implemented quite a bit of it already, and it includes CSS.

Code:

<style>
 td {
 	 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	 font-size: 11px;
	 color: #000000;
	 text-decoration: none; 
	 } 
</style>

As you all might know, this changes all <td> tags into this particular style. Is there a class that I can include that contains NO properties (default)? I'm not even sure if it's possible.

I just don't want to go back and add class tags everywhere.

Is it necessary to declare properties like :


border-bottom:none;

text-transform:none;

My question is why would I declare them (above) ? Is it not assumed that unless I need something like text-transform:lowercase; I should not declare text-transform:none; ...this just add up more unnecessary lines of code.

What are the default properties of selectors? if not declared would it be safe to asumme that those defaul to 0, none, etc depending of the selectors?

tahnks

I'm using an external style sheet and a Drupal site. I am pretty much of a CSS novice. No matter what I do, the default bullet is displaying. Sometimes, in the CSS stylesheet, I can have a graphic show up, but the regular bullet is showing as well.

I want to make a separate bullet that I can use just on certain pages.

It's on the home page of invisibleillnessdocfinder dot com

I don't see anywhere to upload the style sheet to show the code. There is a template, so even though I'm putting "List-style=none" the default tiny bullet shows up.

I'll be glad to email the stylesheet to anyone who can help.

Thanks,
Susan

Hi,

First post on here!

...I have a problem with the default margin in IE being 1px less than Firefox. I've stripped my CSS down to be as naked as possible!

It's quite frustrating as I'm quite experienced with CSS, I guess the small silly things do things like this when you've not been CSS'n for a few months!

HTML:-

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>Untitled Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>

test

</body>
</html>

CSS:-

Code:

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

I have been going through the tutorials and forums learning CSS. Everything works and makes sense until I get to the lesson for setting up a div box.

For some reason I am missing something here. None of the lessons or forums even address or talk about how to connect or input the external div CSS into the web page. They only show the external CSS code or internal CSS code. They never show what is required in the HTML to pull in the external div CSS.

Even when I copy and paste the code from the different lessons I can not get a div box unless I put it in-line in the HTML code with a <style> tag, which defeats the concept of using an external CSS for the div box.

How do I link an external CSS div.box to the default.htm web page?

What coding is required in the external CSS and in the default.htm HTML to have the div.box brought into the web page?

Does the div.box code have to have its own .css file to work?

How do I get the external CSS code for the div input to the HTML?

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure if this topic is ok if someone can nail this down here, but I have a question.

How good or bad is it to set all the value to zero?

Like
Code:

blockquote, body, dd, div, dt, fieldset, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, input, li, ol, p, pre, textarea, th, td, ul{  
margin:0 0 0 0; 
padding:0 0 0 0; }

in front of the rest of styles.

What about the other tag's, how to zero them out? Or should I enter the CSS default value's? CSS 2 and CSS 2.1 are different with some default value's. How good is this for all browsers in this universe?

First I want to call it resetting them to defaults, but thats not the right word I think. Each browser has his own start ( default ) values. And setting them to a defined startvalue is not really resetting, but thats just word nickpicking.

Also what's more save
Code:

margin:0 0 0 0; 
padding:0 0 0 0;

or
Code:

margin:0;
padding:0;

is it 100% sure that the latter one overrides all the margin-lefts:10px ( thinking about cascading )?

Some comments?

I have a style.css file included on all pages
i want to sent default font and size, for all the text where i haven't already set something

Hi

I'm using a css file for the layout of my website. But I'd like to define the default font size but I can't! I mean the size of the font that's under no special style. I think it's something like:

Code:

.body
{ font-size: 10px; }

Or similar (instead of 10px, small)... anybody knows exactly hoy can I do it?

I really like this idea:

http://37signals.com/svn/archives2/css_tip_create_a_default_with_special_cases.php

Unfortunately for the life of me i don't understand why this technique doesn't seem to
work in InternetExplorer. It seems to work for only the class defined in your css file first. Can someone shed some light on this?
