CSS - Content First Using Css
Hi,
I'm knocking up a new site and I'd like to place the content first in the source code, followed by the nav code etc. The design of the site goes: header -> main content -> footer. The navigation will sit in the header above the main content. all the nav links etc. are text and will be resizable by the user as that is good accessibility practice. This means the header can change height as the font expands. So my question is... I see how I could put the header and nav last in the soiurce code and then position it absolutely, and position the main content etc. under it. but how do I do this when the height of the header can vary if the user alters the text size etc.? any tips ladies and gentlemen? Similar TutorialsHi there, I have a content glider script, but I have added it to a wrapper with a background image. The css is using a white background colour so when a new layer is glided up, it covers the one underneath it. However, I want the background to be transparent to show the background image underneath.... If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read. Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide? This is my CSS: PHP Code: .glidecontentwrapper{ position: relative; /* Do not change this value */ height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/ overflow: hidden; } /* Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding Adjust related containers below according to comments */ .glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/ position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */ background: white; visibility: hidden; width: 330px; } /* Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding) */ .glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */ width: 360px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right" background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/ } Any help would be great! Thanks. Well I managed to find a partial solution by adding "clear" to the "statusDiv" like so: Code: .statusDiv { clear: both background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png); height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1px; } This kicks sibling divs onto their own line (which is what I wanted) but the spacing between divs is 2 pixels and I can't seem to find any combination of padding, margins etc to get the spacing down to one pixel. Does anyone know of a way to control the inter-div spacing when "clear" is defined? Thanks Ken --------------------------------------------------------------- Original post --------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to make a few divs to create the same basic functionality as an outline (with disclosure triangles etc...) and am having alignment problems. The first row renders perfectly but the text of subsequent rows overlaps the text of first row. Here's the html: Code: <div id="contentBlock" class="bodyText"> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">New</div> </div> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">Open</div> </div> </div> And here's the CSS: Code: #contentBlock { position: absolute; top: 130px; left: 200px; height: 101%; /* Hack to force vertical scroll bars */ right: 280px; min-width: 400px; visibility: visible; display: block; } .statusDiv { clear: both background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png); height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1px; } .disclosureCollapsed { background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_collapsed_wide.png); display: block; text-align: right; /*position: absolute;*/ float: left; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 18px; height: 20px; } .disclosureCollapsed:hover { cursor: pointer; } How would I make the text in each subsequent row (statusDiv) line up? Thanks for any help Ken http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/?m=200712 Still working on it, but something caught me and I'm clueless. See, I'm still learning Tableless CSS, and well... I'm not sure how to have it so that the content doesn't run over the footer like that. As it should be more like... http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/ For CSS reference, here is where the css file is located: http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/simplistic/style.css Thanks in advance! hi, I have a layour where the container is 100% high, and then I have a header and nav then I have a #main and #bar divs (columns) then #footer I would like for the footer to stick to the bottom and the main, and bar expand to the bottom (even if there isn't enough text) does this make sense, heres my css PHP Code: html,body { height:100%; margin:0px; padding:0px; background: #eee; } #container { height:100%; margin: 0 auto; width: 720px; border-left: 1px solid #000; border-right: 1px solid #000; background: #f00; } #header { height: 170px; background: #ff0 url('../images/header.gif'); } #nav { height: 25px; padding: 5px; background: #666; } #main { width: 400px; float: left; padding: 10px; background: #fff; } #bar { padding: 10px; margin-left: 420px; border-left: 1px solid #006; background: #fff; } #copy { height: 30px; background: #999; clear: both; } I am working form a template that I am modifying a website and the the content is working fine in Chrome, Safari, and FF, but the part of the sidebar shows up in IE7 and no other content. Any asssitance will be appreciated. I tried different hacks with no luck. I got errors for unscrollable content but I don't believe that is it because I tried all "fixes" Code: /* begin Page */ www.justgreek.com/questions.html body { margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; background-color: #D08C35;

margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-top:10px; padding:0px; text-align:left; } any help thanks Hi there! I am tweaking a WordPress template to fit a blog for a roleplaying game. The template is a three-column, fixed-width one. It looks fine on my tiny 17" monitor at work, but at home on my 22", the blog is very small and sits in the center of the page. (The content section is just 904px wide.) Is there a way to tweak the style.css file in order to give the columns percentage widths instead of absolute pixel widths, so that the center "content" area will resize properly according to the reader's resolution/monitor size/window size? I have some experience with CSS and I'm usually pretty good at tweaking pre-existing CSS to fit my needs, but this is something that's a bit beyond me. I can't put a direct URL in my post, but here's a snippet of the CSS file: Code: body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, address, blockquote, dd, dl, hr, p, form{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } body{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; background: #fff url(); color: #fff; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px; } a{ text-decoration: underline; color: #08441e; } a:hover{ text-decoration: none; } a img{ border: 0; } abbr, acronym{ border: 0; } address, dl, p{ padding: 10px 0 0; } blockquote{ margin: 10px 10px 0; background: #fffada url(images/bg_blockquote.gif) no-repeat 5px 7px; color: #736926; } blockquote p{ padding: 10px 10px 10px 20px; } blockquote blockquote{ margin: 10px 20px; background: #fff; color: #333; } blockquote blockquote p{ padding: 10px; } code{ background: #f9f9f9; } dt{ font-weight: bold; } dd{ padding: 0 0 5px 15px; } hr{ clear: both; margin: 15px 0 5px; width: 100%; border: 0; height: 1px; text-align: left; background: url(images/bg_comment_bottom.gif) no-repeat; } small{ font-size: 10px; } input, textarea{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 2px; } input#author, input#email, input#url, textarea#comment{ border: 1px solid #cbb945; background-color: #fffadb; padding: 3px; } input#author, input#email, input#url{ margin: 0 5px 0 0; } #container, #header, #menu, #menu ul li, #menu ul li a, #pagetitle, h1, #syndication, .pagewrapper, .page, .wrapper, .narrowcolumnwrapper, .narrowcolumn, .content, .post, .entry, .browse, sidebar{ text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } #container{ margin: 0 auto; width: 904px; padding: 10px 0 0; } #header{ margin: 0 0 10px; float: left; width: 904px; height: 250px; background: url(images/bg_header.gif) no-repeat left bottom; color: #333; } #menu ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 175px; list-style: none; } #menu ul li{ float: left; margin: 0 5px 0 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; background: url(images/bg_tab_right.gif) no-repeat right top; color: #ffffff; } #menu ul li a{ display: block; padding: 14px 20px 10px; text-decoration: none; background: url(images/bg_tab_left.gif) no-repeat left top; color: #ffffff; } #menu ul li a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } #pagetitle{ clear: both; width: 904px; height: 250px; } } #pagetitle h1 a{ text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } .pagewrapper{ margin: 0 0 10px; float: left; width: 904px; background: #fff url(images/bg_page_bottom.gif) no-repeat left bottom; color: #333; } .page{ float: left; padding: 0 5px 5px; background: url(images/bg_page_top.gif) no-repeat; } .wrapper{ /* This wrapper class appears only on Page and Single Post pages. */ float: left; width: 500px; } .narrowcolumnwrapper{ margin: 5px 0 0; float: left; width: 500px; background: #fff url(images/bg_narrowcol.gif) repeat-y; } .narrowcolumn{ float: left; width: 500px; background: url(images/bg_narrowcol_bottom.gif) no-repeat left bottom; } .content{ float: left; width: 500px; background: url(images/bg_narrowcol_top.gif) no-repeat left top; } Thank you! I feel so STUPID. I have DIV[a] inside DIV[a] is DIV[z] DIV[z] is 200px high. there is no height attribute et for DIV[a] shouldnt DIV[a] stretch atleast to fit in DIV[z] You can see here, in firefox, the dark background only comes down 200px. That is because its height is at 200px, i did that so you could see it. If I remove the height attribute, it dissapears completley. The menu and such on the left are within this div, so it should stretch correct? It works fine in IE. If I need to explain more let me know. Thanks I am working on a website combining css/tables. The #links cell expands taller than its content in ie. This causes all content in the cells below to shift down. It renders fine in all other browsers that I have tried. The site validates fine on w3. Here is a link with some screenshots of my problem. screenshots Sorry its in sluggish tripod. It was the easiest way for me to post it online quickly. Please Help!

I've never figured out how to do this and I'm very interested. i thought it was easy but i cant seem to get a div fit the space it has on my page like.....the size of my page depend on 1 table...the div has to grow till the bottom of that table if i put 100% in the div and things it grows too big maybe im forgetting something I'm sure this has been asked, and I've googled for help without finding anything that works. I'm redesigning a site from html/tables -> css and need to keep a footer at the bottom of each page (after the content, not stuck to the bottom of the window). Being pretty unfamiliar with css positioning I'm having a bit of trouble. Site is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles CSS is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles / stylesheets / hbstyle . css As is everything works, but when I try to add a footer it sits on top of the content. Help, anyone?? My documentation for css shows that content: url(); works in navigator but not in ie. The info I've got is dated. Does the content property work in the newer ie browsers? site: here calendar page: here css: here calendarcss: here (though I shouldn't need to change anything here if the #content and #left are working as I want) Wow... I'm almost done with the general layout... I want the #content to be "independant" of other things on the page, but to fall under the navbar... See the calendar page for an example of what I mean... it works in FF (that I've seen so far), but in IE the top week is slightly shifted Right because of the Left side navigation... Basically, I will be using this for a template, and I want to be able to independantly design the content that goes in the content div, without worrying about other elements on the page... how can I make sure this happens... I thought I would/should use position:relative in the content div, but that totally messes up the calendar... maybe there is something to change in the calendar.css so I can use the relative position in the content (as that would allow me to position things within the content div where I want right?) If I am totally off base, please let me know... Thanks Bryan Hi Could someone please take a look at this please http://dmumford.bizhat.com/test/ When viewed in IE5 the clinical info box does not line up to the righ hand edge. I have tried a few hacks but I don't think I am implementing them right. Your help is much appreicated Thanks Is there a way to darken everything you see inside a <div> (which may contain text and images) by slapping something over the <div>? In X Windows, for example, you could slap an empty window with a repeating pattern (like a mesh) over the underlying window to darken it. Anything similar in CSS? Hi, For some reason the bottom of my content is getting chopped off on some pages. For instance, the Bookmark icon and neighboring links are getting cut off at the bottom of this page when viewing with Google Chrome: http://www.sustainablelivingcolorad...ble-living-101/ Any ideas? Thanks. |
