CSS - Need Help With 2 Colums Layout (reward!)
Hello everyone,
I have a web application wich i would really like to convert to css style. I have been struggling with this for almost 2 days now and i am getting nowhere... I did manage to make a few 'usable' css based on various template/book but they are either corrupted in mozilla or ie... and thus not usable in a production environment. Basicly here what i need: 1. header div located at the top of the page 2. menu div located just bellow the header div (25height) 3. left div located bellow the header/menu div (160width) 4. content div located at the right of the left div (max available width) 5. footer div located at the bottom of the page. (height 25) 6. A vertical scrollbar allowing the user to scroll the page. if possible, this scrollbar should be located between the header and footer only (that mean it will allow the user the scroll the left/content while the header/footer stay in the window), kinda like a traditional frame'd layout. My site is dynamic and the content located at the left (the left div) can be completly disabled by the user. So if the left div is missing, the content div should automaticly adjust is width. I dont want any vertical scrollbar on that site, it should auto-adjust itself. I hope i have been clear. In case i have not, here is a screenshoot of a layout that is similar to the one i would like to have. Example of what i want ! What i need is an experienced web dev who can do this for me. Since i know nothing in life if free i will reward this person with ANY book he want, with a maximum of 5. Here a few examples of what i can provide: Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide 2nd edition http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/css2/ HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/html5/ JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jvdhtmlckbk/ CSS Cookbook http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cssckbk/index.html I have over 17,000 (250+ oreilly, 400+ mspress, etc...) on various subject, so if you have a specific title in mind, you can almost bet that i have it Anyone ready to take the 'job' can add me to is msn, my address if paologoarex@hotmail.com. I think this would take something like 1hour for an experienced web dev while for me it woud take days (if not weeks) ! Dont blame me for being lazy, i did gave it a try ! but since i am more a coder than a web dev, its very hard for me to grasb all the little tweak of css contact me if you are interested. Similar Tutorialshow can i use: css Code: Original - css Code .t {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 0 repeat-x; width: 20em; width:80%; left:50%; margin:20px; } .b {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 100% repeat-x} .l {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 0 repeat-y} .r {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 100% 0 repeat-y} .bl {background: url(../images/bl.gif) 0 100% no-repeat} .br {background: url(../images/br.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat} .tl {background: url(../images/tl.gif) 0 0 no-repeat} .tr {background: url(../images/tr.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding:5px; } .t-exif {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 0 repeat-x; width: 20em; width:200px; right:0px;} .b-exif {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 100% repeat-x} .l-exif {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 0 repeat-y} .r-exif {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 100% 0 repeat-y} .bl-exif {background: url(../images/bl.gif) 0 100% no-repeat} .br-exif {background: url(../images/br.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat} .tl-exif {background: url(../images/tl.gif) 0 0 no-repeat} .tr-exif {background: url(../images/tr.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding:10px; }
.t {background: url(../images/dot.gif) 0 0 repeat-x; width: 20em; width:80%; left:50%; margin:20px; }
to make my exif info box appear on the right of the image? i have tried using right:0px but it doesn't work, any ideas? current display page I have the terrible feeling that I will not be able to explain this properly but I will try my best. It's simple enough to make a layout with colloms using css, just by floating two or three divs, but what if I wanted to make multiple collums out of one bit of text? Kind of like when your writing in a word processer that you've set to use two colums, when your writing fills up the first it just goes strait into the second. I'm not so CSS savvy, can anyone help me with the specific changes needed here that will force the 3 columns to load height at 100% or full column height? Also is it possible to have multiple content boxes loading one above the other in the left and right columns instead of one long content box? jarsandmixes.com/liquid.php body { background-color: #FFF7EF; } div { text-align:center; } div#wrapper { background-color: transparent; border:0px solid black; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; position:relative; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; } div#border { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:10px; } div#page { background-color: #DEC6B5; border:1px dashed black; position:relative; clear:both; float:left; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; padding-bottom: 10px; overflow:hidden; } div#header { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; border:1px dashed black; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:100%; height:80px; } div#menu { clear: both; background-color: #CA7B93; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } div#left1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; float:left; margin:5px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#left2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#content1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:5px auto; width:54%; height:auto; } div#content2 { background-color: #DEC6B5; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; width:96%; height:auto; } div#divider { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; margin:10px auto; width:439px; height:60px } div#right1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; float:right; border:1px solid black; margin:5px; right:10px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#right2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#footer { clear: both; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } Hey all, I have been working on a site in CSS which looks pretty much how we want it to look in FF, however IE is giving me all sorts of problems. If you look at the following page http://www.mobileshop.com/3phones.com/viewphone.php in firefox you can see that the middle (white) column rests nicely between the two side columns, however, if you change to IE and look at the very same page then the middle column drops below the left side column. This is my first time at a css design and i cant work out why it is doing it, also the main logo is supposed to be centered, in IE it is left aligned. If you are viewing the source, you will see a tag soup of tables in the middle of the nice CSS, this is due to the fact that we pick up a feed and it dumps the data into our page. This will change to be pure CSS but i am running out of time to get the site launched first. One final question, i downloaded the Tidy HTML validator for firefox. I managed to get my pages passed the W3c online checker, but tidy claimed there was still errors. I went through and fixed all them to get a happy green tick but then when going back to W3C validation some things failed. I was under the impression that Tidy was developed by W3C, so why do they give varying results regarding validation? Thank you for your time. hello, ive been following a tute designed for a two column template and trying to follow this logic to make a 3 column template but i cant make it work unfortunately. any help would be really appreciated, thank you! apologies for a 'here is the code' post, but here is the code basically i want a 3 column template with 7 rows and only the 3rd row from the top really being divided into 3 columns -standard header, main content, footer, kind of design. whole 'table' is 587 wide and column sizes are 202 for left and right and 183 for center column.

Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. this is bugging the hell out of me, cant find a working answer anywhere (i've tried a bunch of things) So I have 3 images for the top of my page and 3 images for the bottom. The page is enclosed in a div frame titled "frame" each of the 3 columns is enclosed in a frame "leftframe" "centerframe" and "rightframe" Each of the 3 columns has a top which is a fixed size image at the top, a middle which is just empty space for content to go, and a bottom which is a fixed size image at the bottom. Problem: I can't get any of the 3 column's bottoms to stick to the bottom of "frame" I've tried some code in here to do it and it doesn't work.. any help here? thanks! Code:

Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why. Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code: <!--begin wrapper-->

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? I am new to this, but for some reason I can't figure it out. My right column goes below the left one. Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">
#leftcolumn

I am having a hard time grasping this and would really appreciate some help. I think if you look at this code, my problem is obvious. I want a layout with a nav column down the left side, a banner area, and a content area. I have played around with this for hours, tons of trial and error. I almost had it in IE, but in NS it looks like crap. Also, in the container <div> that someone kindly gave me, what is the -350px do? Here is my code, thanks so much. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Full Height</title> <style type="text/css"> /*<![CDATA[*/ body { height: 100%; margin: 0; } #container { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 50%; margin-left: -350px; width: 700px; height: 100%; background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid red; background-image: url('images/keybg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav{ width:135px; position:absolute; background-color:#000; left:0px; height:100%; float:left; clear:right; top:0px; margin-top:0px; } #banner{ width:565px; position:absolute; background-color:#f00; left:135px; height:125px; float:right; } #content{ width:565px; position:absolute; margin-top:125px; background-color:#00f; left:0px; height:100%; float:right; clear:left; } /*]]>*/ </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="nav"> </div> <div id="banner" </div> <div id="content"> </div> </div> </body> </html> I'm working on converting a website from tables to div's and running into one little issue. The site is a basic header on top, navigation on left, content on right and a footer on the bottom. I would like the navigation div to grow in height to match the height of the content div so that the background fills the left side of the page. I have placed the nav and content divs in a container div and set a min-height on the container. I was hoping that that would let me place height: 100% on the navigation div but it isn't growing ever. Is there a way to get something like this done? FYI, the site is currently at http://users.adelphia.net/~mmorasch/ Hi, Happy New Year This is a continuation of a thread begun in the javascript forum. I'm continuing it here because I think I've solved/avoided some of the javascript aspects of the problem by tackling the design in a slightly different way. I'm struggling with what should be the simplest part of this problem, which is to make the li elements arrange themselves like the attached image rather than the way they presently appear on my site. Furthermore, ideally, I'd like it all to work with the smoothness of Isotope or Quicksand, but maybe that's a problem for another day... As always, any and all help gratefully appreciated! (Also, I'm baffled as to why the thumbnails show up fine on my home PC, but not at all on my work one !?!? Oh, now it's working - this is too bizarre!?!?) Hi, How do I position "new.gif" on the same line as text "some subject here" ? Right now "new.gif" appears on right side as intended but underneath text. Code: <td><a href="">some subject here<span style="float:right"><img src="new.gif" alt="New" width="30" height="10" align="middle" /></span></a></td> Thank you. thanks Hi, I am relatively new to CSS and am trying to come up with a layout very similar to Noteableapp. What I like about that design is that the taskbar stays floated at the top, while the central column exands with the width of the browser. What I'm trying to do different is have a much more detailed background image, rather than a simple gradient. The problem I'm having is that the navigation divs seems to be transparent so the detailed texture shows through. I've tried building the divs from scratch without success as I can't seem to get the central column to stay in the centre of the page, so I had a look at the css for Noteableapp however its a bit complicated for me and raised more questions than answers! Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to achieve a layout similar to Noteableapp or able to contact me and guide me through what is actually happening with the noteable css. My preference would be a tutorial so I can actually understand what is happening but any help would be much appreciated. My layout is pretty simple. 1 large columb in the center that should extend the full length of the browser(minimum) regardless of how much text is in it. 1 column on either side of it for other content. I cannot get the middle column to extend to 100%. it stops at the data. Here is my CSS. Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande',
Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #C10E0E;
}
#leftcolumn {
display: inline;
float: left;
left: 15%;
width: 150px;
}
#centercolumn {

width: 511px;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 2px;

readers digest version: I have a 750px container. My content div is 566, plus 2px for the border, plus 20px for the padding. Giving it a margin-left of 162px gives us a grand total of 750. IE seems to hate the padding - when i modify that it works fine - even changing the margin doesn't do anything. and there's an extra 2px between the menu and the contents just in case. So I can't figure why it's bumping down in IE. and i'm using v6, and have the doctype declared, so it shouldn't be in quirks mode. TIA, Greg |
