CSS - Image Positioning Problem?
Similar TutorialsHello, I don't know whether this is the right forum for my issue, so apologies if it isn't. To better understand the problem, kindly visit this page: http://www.lightblu.com/contact.php Basically, you see those 4 social networking logos? They are at the right position. However, when you click "Submit (without writing anything anything in the form), the errors will display, and the logos will shift downwards as a result. I don't want this. I want the logos to be at the same position. Question: how could I do this? I'm trying to find the logic first before implementing it, which I can't even figure out. Thanks guys I have an image I want to use as the header graphic on a website. The image is 800px wide and the table is 700px wide. The graphic is meant to overlap both ends of the table. I am putting the image inside the td of the table and then setting the position to -90px relative to the table to move it across the correct amount. The problem I'm having is that the table changes width to 800px to accommodate the image. I tried putting the image outside the table but can't get the image to maintain its position relative to the table (ie when the screen width changes) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled 1</title> <style type="text/css"> html, body { height: 100%; } #maintable { height: 100%; } .logoStyle { position: relative; left: -90px; display: block; top: 0px; visibility: visible; } </style> </head> <body style="margin: 0; background-color: #D1D1D1"> <table style="width: 700px" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" id="maintable"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <img alt="Logo" src="images/header.png" class="logoStyle" /> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Can anyone let me know what I've done wrong? Hi all Having some problems with background image positioning - all CSS/XHTML has been validated See http://community.foe.co.uk/tmp/quote_and_image_test.html Relevant CSS : Code: #imageleft {padding:0px; float:left; width:auto; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px} .imagecaptionleft{padding:0px; margin:0px; text-align:left; font-size:8pt} blockquote { background: transparent url(/images/common/quote1a.gif) left top no-repeat; margin:0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal; color:#000; } blockquote div { padding: 2px 30px; background: transparent url(/images/common/quote2a.gif) right bottom no-repeat; } Relevant html Code: <div id="imageleft"> <img src="/images/common/dummy.gif" alt="Test image" width="100" height="100" /> <div class="imagecaptionleft">Caption goes here</div></div> <blockquote><div> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vestibulum augue odio, condimentum et, iaculis quis, facilisis nec, quam. Aliquam eros. Nulla ut lorem. Cras bibendum orci at ligula lobortis bibendum.</p> </div></blockquote> The opening quote mark is hidden behind the image - as you can see it has a position of left, and for some reason the <div> within the <blockquote> is including the image so is full width. Any help appreciated I have a problem I can't resolve as I'm out of my depth with this CSS positioning issue on a joomla site with a bespoke template I have customised. The problem is that the client (a graphic designer) created a menu design where the top level menu buttons overlap with a curve. I have assigned a background image on hover and it works well. You can see it he I can't post an image of the menu as it won't let me, being a new poster, which is a pain... Code: #horiz-menu a:hover { display: block; z-index: 100; line-height: 22px; left:-53px; position: relative; background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; padding-left:63px; height:27px; width:162px; border-bottom:1px solid #fff; margin-bottom:-3px; } To achieve the overlap, the background has to sit behind the button to its left and that is achieved by moving it a fixed amount of pixels leftward. The menu text is then put back in place with the padding. However the client now wants the hovered image to stick in the parent position when the submenu items are hovered over. I've achieved this with: Code: #horiz-menu li.parent.active a { background: url("../images/style9/menu-bar-hover.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; z-index: 100; line-height: 22px; left:-53px; position: relative; padding-left:63px; height:27px; width:162px; border-bottom:1px solid #fff; } The trouble is that although the background image is positioned correctly, it has a knock-on effect on all the submenu list items which are being positioned to the beginning of the background image, 53 pixels to the left... I cannot pad the submenu items over to the right as it causes all the other submenus items under the other parents to move to the right too. I suppose my question is twofold: is there any way of setting the active parent list item background image position without the children items inheriting the position change? ; is there a better way of doing what I am attempting to do? If the client had not specified overlapping buttons I would be in the clear but my client was a graphic designer who designed without any thought as to the css implications. The requirements have been signed off and I have to find a way of implementing it. Please, any thoughts? I am not a css coder and I find css to be impenetrable, arcane whilst being slow and difficult to debug. All help really appreciated. Hello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look.

Mozilla makes this necessary. ***/ border: 0px solid #000; border-width: 0 0 0 0px; } /*** div.inner is wider than its container, div.outer, and so overlaps to the right, pushing div.right into the proper position. IE expands div.outer instead, requiring a Tan hack to avoid blowing the layout apart. IE gets the original 100% width as in the Livingstone layout. It blows my mind that all this hacking is being caused by the mighty Gecko engine!

Thanks. P.s. How do I post links to the site on here?...I tried but it removed the URL saying (URL address blocked: See forum rules) Hi, I have centered a table horizontally and vertically. To do this I put a table inside a table. so i don't want to use absolute positioning, as the position would change if the window size changes... My problem, with relative positioning, is that I can't figure out how to put my "some text" over an image -which is inside the table cell- in the exact position i want, without "collateral damage"... The collateral damage is that if I put the <div> tag inside the table (see example 1), it will occupy the space and as result the image wll be moved down and layout won't be centered vertically anymore... If I put the <div> tag outside the table (see example 2), as result there will be more occupied space at the top, and the layout isn't centered anymore... Here you can see the code i used for both example 1 and example 2: example 1: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 1</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:50px; top:50px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> example 2: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 2</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:200px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> thx for letting me know...

Echo I have the following Code: <td rowspan="2"> <img class="gallerypic" name="<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" src="pictures/thumbs/<?php echo $pic['filename']; ?>" width="<?php echo $pic['thumb_width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $pic['thumb_height']; ?>"> </td> <td> <div class="header">Caption</div> <div class="captionText">CaptionText</div> </td> I want the two div's to be positioned at the top of the TD they are in. I tried all different positioning stuff in thee CSS for their classes. What am I missing here? I really hate CSS sometimes. Do I need to style the TD to get this working? I'm working inside of a classifieds software app and trying to position a button inside an area that I don't have access to the raw HTML. I built the image file and I know where I want it to appear on the page, but don't know the correct parameters to put in to get it there. I would like it to find the center of the page then go left 190 pixels and be about 400 pixels down from the top. Site is http://www.ineedihave.com. I am building a site and using CSS selectively where I need to control positioning. The site is tapmytrees.com I am having an issue controlling the positioning of the "Add This" image at the footer of the page. I am able to position this right, center, or left, but other than that, have no luck. Currently I am using the following code: #divAddThis { text-align:center; } I am able to use this code to control the positioning of the line below this image: #divLive { float:left; /* moves to right in footer*/ left:-24px; /* adjusts position */ position:relative;/*needed for left and bottom to work*/ text-align:left; /*align text*/ bottom: 5px; /*move up a bit off the search line*/ } When I try to apply the same code to #divAddThis, it has no effect. In fact, using code similar to #divLive, it does not even show up when viewing the results in FireBug. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Is this possible with css? I have a single table cell thats 100% wide. I want an image left aligned, an image right aligned and a background image spaning the entire cell. I also want to type text into the cell between the two images. Using html I get bugs in IE so I think css might be the better option? I'm new to CSS. What is the best way to position an image? I tried using this: #image { position: absolute; top: 234px; left: 567px } But for some reason it doesn't work...How can I position an image? Thanks PS another thing that's been bothering me is when do you put: (in the external stylesheet) .image {..... } when do you put #image {...... } and when do you put *#image {...... } What's the difference between them and what circumstances do you use them in? In the code below, why is the image not positioned at the very top of the DIV in IE only (seems to be fine in FF)? Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <style> .test { width: 200px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid #003366; } .image { position: relative; left: 0px; top: 0px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="test"> <img class="image" src="images/block_up.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt=""> </div> </body> </html> Here is the website i am struggling with, http://www.richmondsproperty.co.uk/ . i am trying to place a linked image in the top right corner, above the phone number without moving anything else. I tried to put it in a div and use float right but it just pushed everything else down. Here is the code being used Code: <div id="header"> <div id="header_logo"> <a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>"><img src="/public/images/logo.jpg" alt="Primmer Olds logo" /></a> </div> <div id="top_menu"> <ul> <li><a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>" <?php echo ( uri_string() == '' ?

HTML -- CSS I decided my last layout looked like poop so I'm changing it. In FF the center logo fits right in the middle of the background image to give it a stretching effect. In IE the image is slightly above the baseline. (maybe 3-5 px) Any help here? please look at this link http://sudhakargolakaram.co.in/image.html my question is how to place the image which has a curve design starting from the left till the right along with the 3 square images in between keeping this image aside the width of the wrapper is 825px which is fine the 1st div after the wrapper has content within the dark green at the very top and its width is the same as the wrapper which is 825px and the div after this are also 825px in order to have this curve image whose width is 1204px and height 266px as the 2nd div is what i need help with as of now my code is #wrapper { width: 825px; margin: 0 auto; } #contentwrapper{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 1900px; } #toprowouter{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 25px; } #menu{ float: left; width: 825px; height: 57px; color: #fff; } and code for other divs just for the sake of this 1 image with 1204 X 266 i guess it is really not needed to change the wrapper to #wrapper{ width: 1204px; margin: 0 auto; } and there after all the other divs will need to have a width of 1204px and i will have to apply padding on left and right to a container div so that the actual content will have a width of 825px how is it possible to have the image with 1204 X 266 sit inside the wrapper whose width is set to 825px or should i change the wrapper width to 1204px just because of this big image please provide the code for this thanks. I'm sure it's something stupid and obvious, but could someone tell me why this works (h1 goes away and image is seen): #branding { height: 100px; position: relative; z-index: 10; } #branding h1 a { position: absolute; top: 16.5px; left: 293px; width: 214px; height: 67px; text-indent: -9999px; background: url(../images/branding.png) no-repeat; } and this doesn't (h1 goes away, but no image swap): #nav_main { position: relative; z-index: 2; height: 50px; } #nav_main h2 { position: absolute; z-index: 6; top: 0; left:0; height: 120px; width: 800px; text-indent: -9999px; background: url(../images/nav_mainh2.png) no repeat; } |
