CSS - Css Content Boxes With Background
I am new to using CSS for more than just text, and I have run into a problem. What I want to do is to have an image with a margin of 3px around it. The problem occus with the background color and border in Mozilla (Fire Fox). The box dosn't fit around the image properly. Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Can anyone possibly help? Hi everyone, I'm wanting to apply some very faint colors to the different content boxes on a site I'm building for a client. For now there are only two visible if not logged in.... 'follow us' and the 'who's online' boxes aligned on the right column of the site. The styles for any content box added are pulled from the same css element but I can assign a suffix unique to each one in the admin backend (joomla site). I added the suffix '_followus' to the top box, copy the existing 'moduletable' elements, append the '_followus' to it and change the background color however when I do this I lose the gradient title bar and all other styling. It basically is just a box with no styling and the title and icons in the middle of the box. I'm obviously missing something but am not seeing it. Wondering if someone would take a look and see if they have an answer? Thanks for looking. Here's the URL... spotabusiness dot com Hi 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. I'm in the middle of learning CSS and have come along alright for the most part. I have two small questions though. 1) The page I'm working on is http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php. It's a three-column layout, with div boxes holding various links down the right and left sides of articles that will be posted. There is a main div that all of this sits in, and that expands just fine to whatever amount of content the article may have. But if the article were to have just a samll amount of content, the div wouldn't expand to the minimum height established by the link boxes on the right and left. How do I make that happen? I just need the light grey box to expand down to the lowest point on the page. 2) Notice the small box with the yellow border in the middle. I want this to be a copyright footer, but have a similar problem. How do I make that box appear 10px below whatever the lowest point for the main div is? Basically, I need the nav boxes to push everything down. I HOPE this can be done fluidly, so I can simply add and remove boxes quickly without needing a CSS edit...that's the goal anyway...modular nav boxes. My CSS is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.css and the page is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php (Also note that this is really all I'm asking. I'm going to clean up the rest...just roughing it out right now.) Anyway, thanks in advance. I have a layer 'main' that contains two columns - one on the left called 'left', one on the right called 'right'. Both columns are layers themselves. 'main' has a background colour 'left' and 'right' have a fixed size background image which does not repeat. JavaScript determines the size of the window and then sets the height of these three layers exactly. This is supposed to be a minimum height to ensure the page is filled initially, however I have used the following code (explained later): Code:
if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
// main height
var pageHeight = myHeight;
document.getElementById("main").style.height = pageHeight+"px";
// content height
var leftHeight = pageHeight - 233;
document.getElementById("left").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
document.getElementById("right").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
Content on 'right' may extend beyond the height of the page and therefore makes the page scroll. When the content in 'right' expands - it is hoped that the size of 'main' expands so that the background colour of this layer fills the space where the content overflows. Using the above JavaScript and this HTML - that works as desired in IE7. Code:
<div id="main" style="position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 680px; background: #E1E6EA; text-align: left; padding: 0; z-index: 2">
<div id="left" style="float: left; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 198px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/left.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 3">
blah
</div>
<div id="right" style="float: right; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 482px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/right.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; z-index: 3; overflow: inherit">
badly coded extra bit to extend the layer

gfdgf
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
</div>
</div>
As the content of 'right' expands so does the background behind everything. HOWEVER - this only works in IE and not the other two test browsers: Safari and Firefox. To remedy this - I tried minHeight instead of height. The outcome of that - the background behind 'right' extends (because the background colour continues past the minHeight) but the background behind 'left' is just not shown and the background of 'main' does not extent. Therefore it has a background on the left hand side until the minHeight of 'main' then the left hand side has no background after that point. That's in Firefox and Safari. With this "solution" in IE - it goes a bit weird but since it doesn't even work right in the other two I ignore that for now. So - it either works in IE or not at all. Hence why I am currently using the code that at least works in a browser. Any suggestions to get it working in all? is there a way to have a different background image in the .content area on different pages? this is the site: http://bradleyrose.net/WaterStreetRestaurant/pages/catering&parties.html cobble-stone-road-4.jpg is used on all pages, is there a way to use a different image on some pages? I've noticed a trend in recent CSS sites with a header, content and perhaps double footer. Each of these sections has a fixed width for the content but the backgrounds for each section are liquid and each has a unique colour. I've been trying to replicate this effect on a clients site but I just can't seem to make it work. Does anyone have any ideas? This is the technique I've been using: Code: <div id="header-fluid"> <div id="header-fixed"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"></div> </div><!-- head-fixed --> </div><!-- head-fluid --> Code: <div id="content-fluid"> <div id="content-fixed"> <div id="content"></div> </div><!-- content-fixed --> </div><!-- content-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer1-fluid"> <div id="footer1-fixed"> <div id="sponsors"></div> </div><!-- footer1-fixed --> </div><!-- footer1-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer2-fluid"> <div id="footer2-fixed"> <div id="copyright"></div> </div><!-- footer2-fixed --> </div><!-- footer2-fluid --> Thanks for your time on this!! Hanek Hello, I just joined the forum, I'm new to web design although I have some experience in video post production. I'm attempting to create a layout for a website using sticky footer technique and an image for the border shadow in the main column. The sticky footer works well until I tweak the css to add the background border image, then I get this empty space in the middle of the body where the border image background should be extending to. It's probably a novice mistake but I can't get to find it. Your help would be much appreciated. The HTML: Code: <body>

Thank you, pixelMason. Edit: Problem Solved thanks to f_nietzsche I update the website of a local gaming center and I recently redesigned it. I am not a CSS expert and now that I have integrated it into to site, the background will not fill the screen on larger monitor sizes. When you scroll down to the bottom of the page it turns leaves a large white space at the bottom of the screen. There is also an odd white border around the site. The css can be found in the source code. The site is nextlevelchardon.com 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 I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. Im trying to replicate the vertical navigation style that is used on the Mozilla Firefox Website (as seen to the left). I have sucessfully done this useing images, with the exclusion of a space problem between the items and the end images in FireFox. I am using the strict.dtd and am frustrated with this problem. Iff anyone can help me create a nav with this style that would be wonderful. Here is the css im using: Code:

The following code is me testing my css. The first group is useing the cssnav styles. The 2nd group is using the box styles. The 3rd group is a try at making a content box with rounded corners that is a spacific width. Unfortunatly, the content of the box will not wrap to the width of the box, instead it continues on 1 line and outside the box. Code: <div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-top.jpg"></div> <div class="cssnav"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div> <div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div> <div class="cssnav"><a href="phpbb/index.php" target=_blank><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div> <div class="cssnavend"><img src="images/but-bot.jpg"></div> <br><br> <div class="box"> <div class="boxtop"><img src=images/but-top.jpg></div> <div content="boxcontent"> <div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Home</span></a></div> <div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>This is a test</span></a></div> <div class="cssnav"><a href="#"><img src="images/but-up.jpg" /><span>Forum</span></a></div> </div> <div class="boxbottom"><img src=images/but-bot.jpg></div> </div> <br><br> <div class="box"> <div class="boxtop"><img src=images/box-top.jpg></div> <div class="boxcontent"> <div class="boxtext">This is some text inside of the box.

Hello: I'm trying to place two drop down boxes at the right of my page. When I view the pages in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they are so far off. You can view the page yourself by visiting: http://www.informedmortgage/100-financing.html I've tried changing widths, margins, etc and am having no luck. I can use some help. I hope someone can help me out. Thank you. Back to top Hello, I created a site with floating frames and it looks good in IE6 and FF/Mozilla. But I have one problem: I use in my dynamic layout an ID more then once (thats not OK according w3 validation) I tried to do something with pseudo classes but this works not really goed. My "uni" thumb box is used on two diff. pages The skyscraper: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/ and the result/search page: http://www.all4yourwebsite.com/search.php I know there is a solution, but because the tumbbox have to be much flexible the solution must be simple as the current (wrong) solution. Anyone an idea? Hallo, I have in several cases serious problems with floating boxes. Not with the standard layout's like here described http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/ but with more complicated layouts. I know to place the float attribute but have problems with setting the clear attribute. Does some know a good source where I find more information or documented examples ? Finally I can fix my problems, but it take so much time of testing... Thnaks My boxes line up horizontally perfectly in Firefox but not in IE7 (not suprisingly). Because of the rules I can't show you the link but the html places two boxes side by side lined up so that they are the same distance from the top. It looks right in Firefox but IE7 drops the right box about 10 pixels or so. My Html is this: <div id="newsboxleft"> <div id="newsboxright"></div></div> My CSS is this: #newsboxleft { margin: 10px auto; position: relative; top: 0px; left: -187px; width: 350px; height: 142px; background: url(../images/newsboxleft.jpg) repeat-x top; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; padding: 0px; clear: both; } #newsboxright { margin: 10px auto; position: relative; top: 0px; left: 373px; width: 350px; height: 142px; background: url(../images/newsboxright.jpg) repeat-x top; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; padding: 0px; clear: both; } I hope someone can help. Thanks. |
