CSS - Making A Menu And A Body Align
Here is my problem. I need to make a menu and a body of a page end at the same pixel, so that they look neat and so that a footer can go underneath. Right now, I'm trying to make a div which contains the menu and the body and making the heights of both 100% so if one is longer than the other, the div should automatically be as long as the other. However, my outer div seems non-existant (0px high) for some reason, even though both the menu and the body are nested in it and have content. Anyone have a solution?
Similar TutorialsHi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code:
body
{
font-family: "Lucida Sans";
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0px 0px 10px;
border-top: 0px none #000000;
border-right: 0px none #000000;

Thanks very much. This is what I would like to accomplish (though, vertical scrolling..) http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=037%2F037%2Ecss Must look at it with mozilla, btw.. doesn't work in IE. I can't figure out how the hell that person did that. Here is what I have so far... Forgive all the extra tags I don't need. I've been trying everything I can think of... h1{ position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 99; background-image: url(top.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-color: transparent; height: 358px; width: 800px; visibility: visible; background-position: top left;} h2{ position: fixed; top: 0px; background-image: url(sidestar.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-attachment: scroll; height: 6000px; width: 40px; z-index:1;} H1 is the code for the image I want to be on top, H2 is the "body" I want to disappear behind the image. When that is loaded, the image stays fixed in location, but the body scrolls on top of it, eating the image from the bottom. Any ideas what is wrong? If you have firefox, you can check out what is happening he http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/webnik/ How can I make the <th> on the right hand side align everything inside it to the right? I already have a class which applies to all my <th> [html] <thead> <tr> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">STATUS</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">VIEW</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">DOWNLOAD</th> <th scope="col" class="twentyfive">TOTAL</th> </tr> </thead>[/html] Do I need to add something like this? [css] table.main thead tr th.twentyfive { /*border: 1px solid #fff;*/ width: 25%; } table.main thead tr th.twentyfive.right { /*border: 1px solid #fff;*/ width: 25%; float: right; }[/css] this is kind of a crude copy/paste of my current code, but it shows the problem.

Hi everyone, I just have this pain with aligning the whole red thing to left of the page browser (cause it just keeps hanging on the center) - you can check my homepage below - you will see the problem - what should I do to move the whole thing to left? Thank you in advance. Hello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code:
.chromestyle{
width: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
height: 29px;
}
.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: ".";

We are redesigning and I have a CSS menu I like that runs vertically. I need a version that would also work running horizontal, with the drop downs underneath. Is this possible by tweaking my existing code? I got the code I am using from alistapart and I am not really too familiar with it. You can see it here http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/tables.html Thanks - Anthony I found this code online and I'm trying to alter it slightly for what I need. Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body,html {
padding: 0;
margin: 10;
}
#navcontainer ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
}
#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #acf;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Content</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Photographs</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Events</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Estate</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
It gives a nice center-aligned horizontal CSS menu. What I'm wondering is: How do I make it so that the width of each of the blue boxes the links are in are the same width? Say I want them all width: 180px; Where do I put that style so that it applies to all the links? [On a related issue, the style sheet has 4 things related to #navcontainer. How does one know which one of these to put additional styles in?] Thanks Much. j 9 I have a header wrapper for a column heading that sets the width and background of the column header. In that column header I have a tag for the header title, which is aligned left. Know, I find that the customer wants to add an "As of Date", on the same line, but wants it aligned right. Is this even possible to do? I cannot seem to come up with the correct .css code that would allow me to do this. html code Code: <div class="wide_column_header"><span class="headerbartext">Make Your Enrollment Selection</span><span class="headerbartextright">As of 3/31/2008</span></div> css tags: Code:
.wide_column_header {
float:left;
width:558px;
margin:0 0 0 5px;
background-image:url(../images/wide_header.jpg);
height:21px;
font-size:100%;
font-weight:900;
line-height:100%;
vertical-align:bottom;
color:#fff;}
.headerbartext {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:right;
padding-left:15px;
line-height: 140%;}
.headerbartextright {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:right;
padding-right:15px;
line-height: 140%;}
I am trying to center the whole page. the body contains all divs, contained in one main div. I tried I trick I have been using for a while but it messed with one the other divs. I was using Margin-Left:-375px; Position:Absolute; Left:50%; any ideas for another way to center my page? Please look at http://www.mts-diesel.com / index.php I have a 25px div (#topmargin) that I want flush against top of screen. I assigned padding & margin to both div & body elements but for some reason the I can see about 3px of the body bg above the div #topmargin. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tom Hi there, I am trying to define the body text for all my pages using this, but it is not recognising it: Code:
body{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
line-height: 150%;
}
Have I got something wrong here?! At the moment, my BODY tag contains the following CSS: Code:
BODY {
background: url(images/gradients/bg_top.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
The bg_top.jpg file is an image 200px high, and 3px wide. This displays nicely at the top of my page. It is a gradient from dark grey which fades out to a pattern of simple squares. I would then like these squares to be repeated across the whole of my background. What I wanted to do was to set a second background image that would display underneath the gradient, but this didn't appear to work. Looking around Google, it appears that you can only set the one background for the body tag. Is this the case? If so, is it possible to set it up so that the square pattern repeats itself across the whole page, but underneath the gradient at the top? Many thanks. I am currently setting the body id of my pages to highlight what item I am on... Such as: body#news #news_tab a, { border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; background: #fff; color: #000; } But I was wondering if it was also possible to somehow make a div appear (changing display from hidden to block) by putting an id in the body tag....But since the div isn't a link, for some reason I can't make it work. I tried: Adding this div: <div id="news" style="display:none">Testing Me</div> Adding this body tag: <body id="news"> And then adding this style definition: body#news #news { display: block; } but it still doesn't display. Is this just not possible? Is there anyway around it? Thanks! I'm a novice with CSS and HTML so the following may seem elementary to most of you. I'm a retail vitamin store owner with a website, (URL address blocked: See forum rules) . We do very well with our store front and are getting better and better with our online discount vitamin store. Our web master has programmed our site so we can easily insert new products. This is done in the <body>. Recently I've wanted to add some spice with color and formatting . At first I was doing this with something like <FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="4" color="006600">. But now as I get into CSS and double checking all code with W3.org, it doesn't like this approach. Now I'm trying <span id="enzymatic" class="prod_description"> in the <body> with span#enzymatic p { color: green; } span#enzymatic h4{ color: blue; } etc. in a CSS definition file. It all works well, but W3.org still doesn't like where I've inserted the code. If you go to our page: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)=country-life-seniority-multivitamin You will get among other "errors" the following message: <h4>Seniority ™ Multi-Vitamin Capsules </h4> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). Any hints as to what basic rules I'm breaking? Be kind. Many thanks, healthyphil hello friends, please tell me how can i specify a hyperlink, active, hover and visited attribute in body { } for example i have the following css BODY { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-color: #F2F2F2; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: left; } now i want to specify the default hyperlink with active, hover and visited attribute within body. Thx. 'Ello, I have a slight problem with some CSS I am using, it works perfectly fine in other browsers but in IE 6 it doesn't. What I basically want is the body of the page to have a 10pixel margin on the left and right of the page and 0 at the top and bottom, this bit I can do. I also want everything on the page to stretch from the end of each margin (so they basically start 10 pixels in from the left and 10 pixels in from the right), which I have got working fine. Now what I am trying to do is have one div layer stretching from the very left to the very right of the page and I am getting a bit stuck on it. What I have managed to do is set that div layer to be absolute positioning so I can use "left: 0px;" to get it all the way up against the left hand edge, but how can I get it right up against the left hand edge? I am sure if I set it to be the width of the page so for example if the page is 500 pixels wide and I use "width: 500px;" it would go from end to end, but what I want is it to go from end to end no matter what the width of the window is. For the rest of the layers that are not going from end to end but are staying within the body margins I used "width: 100%;" which works fine, but when I try it with the one that I want to go from end to end it only goes up to the body margin, but right to the end, well in IE it does anyway other browsers are fine with it. Does anyone know how to get around this? I have tried looking on the net but I can't find anything on it. All help will be greatly welcome. Thank you in advance, El Barto.
