CSS - Can't Put A List And Heading On Same Line...
Hi everybody. I am developing a site for classic games, and I am having trouble putting a navigation list on the left of my page and aligning a heading on the right with the top of the list border.
Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Choose a Page</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> /* <![CDATA[ */ body { font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; } h1, h2 { text-align: center; } ul { margin: 0; width: 25%; height: 20em; padding: 0; border: .5em solid #00f; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: outside; } li { background-color: #0ff; padding: .5em 0 .5em; } li a { background-color: #0f0; height: 1em; padding-left: .5em; display: block; font-weight: bold; } /* ]]> */ </style> </head> <body> <h1>Game Index</h1> <ul> <li><a>Home</a></li> <li><a href="dir.html" title="View the Directions">Directions</a></li> <li><a href="gbc.html" title="View GameBoy/GameBoy Color games">GameBoy/GB Color</a></li> <li><a href="gba.html" title="View GameBoy Advance games">GameBoy Advance</a></li> <li><a href="nes.html" title="View Nintendo/Famicom games">NES/Famicom</a></li> <li><a href="snes.html" title="View Super NES/Super Famicom games">SNES/Super Famicom</a></li> <li><a href="ggear.html" title="View Game Gear games">Game Gear</a></li> <li><a href="genesis.html" title="View Genesis MegaDrive games">Genesis/MegaDrive</a></li> <li><a href="32x.html" title="View 32X games">32X</a></li> <li><a href="psx.html" title="View PlayStation games">PlayStation</a></li> </ul> <h2>Select a page</h2> <div id="pgdesc">Please make a selection from the list above</div> <h3>Note: This page does not host ANY emulators. You have come to the wrong place if you are looking for an emulation site.</h3> <div id="img"> <img id="atari" src="atari2600.jpg" alt="Atari 2600"> </div> </body> </html> I realize that a list and a heading are both block-level elements, but I'm wondering... I'd rather not use absolute positioning since it doesn't work well with different resolutions. I'm just wanting it to work with 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. Can anybody help? Similar TutorialsThis is probably something extremely simple, but I'm the slow kid today... I have a right-hand sidebar with a heading that is not behaving the way I want it to. After each word, it creates a new line, then the next word.... Any suggestions, as always, are appreciated. Here's the page: http://www.websimage.com/pcqtest/index.html Thanks guys/gals :) I want to make a list and have only the first line in bold i tried this but it didn't work Code: ul.none{ list-style-type: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; first-line: bold; } Below is my CSS file for list. Code: li { list-style-position: outside; } ul { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: disc; margin-left: 15; } ul ul { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: circle; margin-left: 25px; } ol { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: upper-alpha; } ol ol { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 25px; } ol ol ol { list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: upper-alpha; margin-left: 35px; } Now, here's the problem. When I do this: Code: <b>Section Title</b> <ul><li>List 1</li> <li>List 2</li> <li>List 3</li> </ul> The result showed up like this: Section Title *List 1 *List 2 *List 3 Is there a way to not having the line break after the "Section Title"? I want it to show up like this: Section Title *List 1 *List 2 *List 3 How to I take out the extra line break? Any help is grateful! ljCharlie Hi I'm writing here after spending a few hours searching google without luck. I bought a "mega menu" plug in for wordpress but its acting very odd. It generally works as it should but ive found that theres something wrong with the formatting of the drop down menus. There is an issue where line breaks do not happen at all, and most important - list items are not shown on a new line. The content all seems to flow around its self rather than being formatted. See attached pic: img14 .imageshack .us/img14/964/screenshot047cr .png I did run the css and html though a validator and it spits out hundreds of errors but i think they are pretty much only shown because its css3. I'm really curious what would cause line breaks to not appear after list items. I had thought previously it may be the css clashing with my themes css but i tried a fresh install on a really mimimal theme and the error is still there I'm building a navagation bar. I want to have several lists, each with a heading. Due to space and visual concerns, I would like to eliminate the blank line between the heading and each list. Here's what I have: Code: <div id="navigation"> <span class="nav_title">Archives</span> <ul> <li>[...]</li> </ul> <p> <span class="nav_title">Categories</span> <ul> <li>[...]</li> </ul> [...] </div> And this is the corresponding CSS (just the ul part, obviously): Code: #navigation ul { list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: disc; padding: 0; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; display: block; } What I have right here works, but it only works for the first list. All the other lists have a blank line between the heading and the following list -- but the first does not. I find it weird that this would work for the first time it is used, but not for the second time. I tested it by replacing the heading and list with other headings and lists and got the same result -- the *first* heading blends with the list, but the rest do not. You can view this problem here (it's in the navigation bar on the right-hand side. "Archives" blends with its list, but nothing else does.) In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to hack out my own WordPress theme atm -- don't yell at my table layout yet, I'm converting it from another theme and haven't finished yet Anyway to remove the automatic line break after list items? I'd like to use styles to create roll-over effects in a menu I've used an unordered list to create that menu. But, I'd like a horizontal menu bar rather than a vertical menu column. Thanks! David Goldfeder I'm trying to put together a CSS layout for a blog, and unfortunately my meager skills have crapped out on me. The page currently looks like this: http://prestonandtread.com/test/ I want it to be a full screen header while the footer is fixed and the width of the content. I thought I had it pieced together ok enough from different tutorials, but the top and left sides of the screen show background and the content isn't parking itself on the page correctly. Help me get this to where it should be! Code: <style type="text/css"> html, body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; /* 100 % height */ } #header { width: 100%; height: 150px; } html>body #header { position:fixed; z-index:10; /* Prevent certain problems with form controls */ } html>body #wrap {height:100%;} /* 100 % height */ #wrap { width:479px; margin:0 auto; } html>body #content-wrap {height:100%;} /* 100 % height */ html>body #content {padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;} /* 6em = height of #header and #footer + 1em, 1em = give the content some breathing space */ #footer { width:479px; height:160px; } html>body #footer { position:fixed; bottom:0; z-index:10; } html, body { background-color: #99CCFF; } #header { text-align: center; background-image: url(background.jpg); background-position: top left; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color: #99CCFF; } #footer { text-align: center; background-image: url(eyes.jpg); background-color: #99CCFF; } #content-wrap, #content { background-color: #FFFFFF; } #footer a {color:#111;} </style> Hi guys. The strangest thing happened to me a few minutes ago. I tried centering the heading for my webpage using css in dreamweaver. When I looked it up on the browser to see whether it checked out right, to my horror, I discovered that the heading had disappeared. Could someone tell me what went wrong? thanx kaz. Is there a way I can have the checkbox to the right of the heading without stretching out the actual heading? It works fine when it is floated to the left http://www.iankovi.com/html_.html http://www.iankovi.com/css_.css Again I am new to CSS so bear with me here...I did search this forum before posting this... I am using a 3 column template, I am having some problems between the "#columns" with the heading <h*> of these columns. as long as each column has a differnt heading size all is well but if two columns have the same size heading I can't seem to be able to make them different colors H all, I have a horizontal navigation bar which basically looks like this: Thing0 | Thing1 | Thing2 | Thing34 What I want to do is when I select a link to a new page, I'd like (using CSS) to have that link highlighted so that the user can see which page he is on. It's either that or hardcoding the name to each page...but since it's already in the Nav bar, I thought highlighting the link on the nav bar serves as a heading as well... Possible? Hi, I am trying to add a 8px border under my headings, but I only want it to go as far as the word. At the moment, it is going the whole width of my div container. This is what I have at the moment: PHP Code: #sidebar h2, #sidebar h3 { color: #444; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0 5px 0; padding: 0px 0 0px 0; border-bottom: 8px solid #FE9023; } Any help would be great. Thanks I have 3 images that I would like to go togather to form a heading with rounded corners. I want to use 3 div tag to accomplish this. I am unable to get all 3 to lign up Code: .rounded_STYLE{ background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid BORDER_COLOR; position: relative; } .rounded_STYLE{background:url('/images/chg.gif') repeat-x; } .rounded_STYLE > .tl, .rounded_STYLE > .tr, .rounded_STYLE > .bl, .rounded_STYLE > .br{ width: 6px; height: 24px; position: absolute; } .rounded_STYLE > .tl{ background: url(/images/clg.gif) top left no-repeat; } .rounded_STYLE > .tr{ background: url(/images/crg.gif) top right no-repeat; } .rounded_STYLE > .tc{ background: url(/images/chg.gif) top right no-repeat; } .rounded_STYLE > .bl{ background: url(/images/bl.png) bottom left no-repeat; } .rounded_STYLE > .br{ background: url(/images/br.png) bottom right no-repeat; } Code: <div class="rounded_STYLE rounded"> <div class="tl"></div> <div class="tc"><table class="h"><tr><td class="l"></td><td>dddddddddd</td><td class="r">ssssssss</td></tr></table></div> <div class="tr"></div> ... contents of the block go here ... <div class="bl"></div><div class="br"></div> </div> I'm trying to figure out how to do something like this: Code: <h6>Lorem Ipsum Dolor <span>jan 10 2006</span></h6> And make the heading line up to the left side and the span on the right. It's close. It's lining up on the right but on the next line down rather than the same line. Take a look. Any bright ideas on why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks. Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks! Greetings, I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help! li { list-style-type: none; background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left; padding: 0 0 0 10px; } I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code: #cellid { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; } #cellid ul { margin: 10px 0 0 20px; padding: 0 0; } #cellid li { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif); } The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian Seems like most people use unordered lists for menus. Code: <ul> <li>menu1</li> <li>menu2</li> <li>menu3</li> </ul> Others use definition lists. They claim it is less buggy with IE. Code: <dl> <dt>menu1</dt> <dt>menu2</dt> <dt>menu3</dt> </dl> Any thoughts on whether unordered lists or definition lists are best? Also, I sometimes see the menu text surrounded by a SPAN tag. I believe this has to do with only being able to assign one attribute to an element, but am uncertain. Can anyone help explain? Also, if I want a single HTML to work with various CSS, is it a good idea to always include the SPAN tag? Code: <ul> <li><span>menu1</span></li> <li><span>menu2</span></li> <li><span>menu3</span></li> </ul> Thanks Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code: <body> <div class="colorbox"> <div class="colorboxtop"> <h2>title goes here</h2> </div><!-- /colorboxtop --> <div class="boxcontent"> <p>You should read this and <a href="#">Click Here</a>.</p> <a title="Go Here!" href="#">[button]</a> </div><!-- /boxcontent --> </div><!-- /colorbox --> </body> No great complexity there...here's the CSS: Code: body { color:#666666; font-family:Lucida Grande,Verdana,sans; font-size:10px; font-size-adjust:none; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:13px; } .colorbox { margin-bottom:9px; padding-bottom:15px; width:300px; border:thin solid #CCCCCC; } .colorbox h2 { color:#FFCC33; } .colorbox { color:#CC6633; padding:0px 20px 15px; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:10px; } .colorboxtop { background-color: #dddddd; height:50px; color:#666666; background-image: url(images/bg_Tiles/stripe-dk-blue-green.png); padding:auto 20px; } .colorbox a { color:#C5DBE9; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; } |
