CSS - Div Id Repeats... Bloated Code? Help!
Hello all,
How can I re-work this: The test page (For the full effect, manually re-size the window.) the style sheet ...to validate he Validator Basically, I am trying to make it so I do not have to define the div dimensions/padding/margins/borders for every instance... but the way I have it set-up, the validator does not like repeated div id's... Does anybody have suggestions for making my code compliant and a bit more streamlined? Javascript? PHP? I plan to use a simple PHP "for loop" to fill the page with the colored DIVs... Thanks in advance. M Similar Tutorialshello! my first post!! well i'm trying to make the move to total CSS layouts. i've gotten a lot of input from people which has been VERY helpfull, and based on that input, i've created a rough layout that works (for the most part) in IE6 and netscape7. Even before i validated it, the code seemed bloated and repetitive.. but i dont know enough to know WHAT i can delete!! and when i ran it through a validator... YIKES!! can anybody take a look at it, and give me any suggestions? i dont know where to go from here. the code is just a rough layout of colored divs, that i will fill with content later (hopefully after its THINNER and validates!)

FYI, these are problems i can live with though.. but i would really like to know how to thin out the code (seems repetitive to me) and get on the road to validation. thanks for ANY input!! I often see css code with "greater than" sign like this: html>body #centercontent { margin-left: 201px; margin-right:201px; } what does this mean? What is the difference with body #centercontent { margin-left: 201px; margin-right:201px; } Thanks for the enlightment. hi... what does this css code mean.. body table table table table#plv table td{color:#fff} ? and how would the html code look like? is this for tables with no class tags attach to it.. i am trying to put a semi-transparent bg on an iframe and some cells of a table. i've been given lots of advice, none working so far. and i know its possible. is there anyway sum1 could try this or even edit my code? but mostly what im looking for is also where to put things in codes. please and thank u!! what would happen if i assigned an iframe to "itself" w/ a colored background, and then put in a CSS declaration w/ opacity? how do i input filters? how do i input tablelayout(like CSS or HTML)? where do i insert tags for the scrollbar, which also has not worked for me?

Thanks a lot in advance Greetings everyone! I'm quite new for css positioning, less than 2 weeks, but I can tell you I feel like a young man entering puberty again just knowing I'll have myself free from tables very soon. My question is an easy one. I would like to know if isnt it more correct to leave some styles outside the css file when we are using it particularly only one time. Lets say Ill use 2 distinguished boxes in the "contact" session, then would it be ok to just use "<div style="etc">content</div>" instead of building it inside the css? Thanks in advance! - Dehumanizer For some reason, the following code displays perfect in firefox, but its atrocious in IE. Im doing this for a client, so i need it to display correct in all browsers...can anyone pinpoint what i am doing wrong? here is the code: Code: css * { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } html { width: 100%; height: 100%; } body { height: 100%; width: 100%; background-color: /*#E0F8F7 */#989B9F; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #login_box { background: url( '../images/login2.png' ) no-repeat center center; position: fixed; width: 319px; height: 417px; top: 50%; left: 50%; margin-top: -209px; margin-left: -160px; } #input_div { position: fixed; width: 103px; height: 38px; margin-top: 230px; margin-left: 55px; } #lock { border: none; position: fixed; background: url( '../images/lock.png' ) no-repeat; width: 10px; height: 13px; margin-top: 287px; margin-left: 270px; } #forgot { position: fixed; margin-top: 362px; margin-left: 50px; } #login_box h1 { color: #EDF2F7; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; font-family: arial, sans-serif; } .input { width: 200px; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; font-family: arial, sans-serif; border: solid 1px #85b1de; background: url( '../images/gr.png' ) repeat-x #EDF2F7; background-position: top; padding: 4px; } input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="password"]:focus { border: solid 1px #31677B; } #login_box p { font-weight: bold; color: #478FAB; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; font-family: arial, sans-serif; } #button_div { position: fixed; width: 103px; height: 38px; margin-top: 360px; margin-left: 190px; } .button { border: none; width: 103px; height: 38px; text-indent: -1000em; cursor: pointer; background: url( '../images/login_button.png' ) no-repeat center center; } in Internet Explorer: Incorrect in Firefox, Opera, Chrome...

Can someone add the CSS code to the following code along with some tips on how to make it more pleasing? If you look at it now its dull, dull, dull. <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="login.php"> <TABLE border="7" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="10" BORDERCOLOR=BLACK> <tr><th colspan=2><FONT size="5"><B><center>MAIN LOGIN FORM</B></FONT></th></tr> <TR><TD><B>USERNAME:</B></TD><TD><input type="Text" name="username"></TD></TR> <TR><TD><B>PASSWORD:</B></TD><TD><input type="password" name="secret"></TD><TD> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="LOGIN"></TD><TR> </form> </TABLE> Also thanks in advance. I am building a new navigation menu which works fine as you can see below: http://www.hotlinkhosting.com/test/menu.php However, the following version does not: http://www.hotlinkhosting.com/test/menu.php?. The difference between the two is that the first one doesn't have a doctype set. The second version has a xhtml doctype. All my documents are written in xhtml so it must be done. I see that the problem occurs with my resizing of the <h1> and <h2> tags with css. After resizing the space the heading tags normaly take up is still their. Feel free to take a look at the source code and I hope you can help. Btw, I know the nav menu doesn't look right in ie, but that isn't my fault now is it? I can't help it ie can't read code correctly. Anyways After I get the menu working with "real" browsers I'll fix the ie errors. Please look at this page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=w...=Inline&group=0 As you can see all the script codes are in need of helping to pass. I am trying to clean this page up and the rest but need advice to how to do so. For example, it is telling me not to use the & sign in the script but I am afraid to replace it with the & or & . What should I do here or how can I fix these errors? Should I be using a different Doc type or something? Thanks!!! Have some problem with my css.

I'm interested in creating areas within my web page similar to the attachment, that show formatted code. I can handle most of it - using specific font(s), a green left-border, perhaps some banding for alternate rows, etc. But is it possible to create automatic numbering without having to insert separate 'li' elements for each row? Would I have to entity reference lots of characters within the code? Indenting might be troublesome? Perhaps there is some site that already makes this css publicly available? Andy. Can anyone help me to transform this table in css code ? <table width="1000" border="1" bordercolor="#FFCCFF"> <tr> <th width="500"> <img src="111.jpg" </th> <th width="500"> <center> <font face="Tahoma" size="60" color="#330033"> 111 </font> </center> </th> </tr> </table> I am having a big problem with my website. It works great on every browser except ie7. The 3 big icons do not appear in a row but one below another, and the 4 boxes on the bottom cannot be displayed. The website is (www dot sdcomptech dot com) Any help is appreciated, everything works but ie7. I'm a bit new to the CSS scene, but I do know my fair share of it. Unfortunately, I've run into a huge problem: Our menu bar takes up a lot of code that we DON'T want to have to repeat on EVERY page. So, my question is: Is there any code/way we can retrieve data from another source file and have it pulled into our original code? Like an img src=, only with a file. Thanks in advanced! Sorry....wrong info here....been up too long. I'll regroup and repost this with hthe correct info. Greetings, I don't know how is this possible. Please, take a look at these 2 pages: Correct: http://83.208.191.102/bio/Sources/M...t.modified.html Screwed: http://83.208.191.102/bio/Sources/M...modified02.html It's no browser-specific problem, it does the same in both IE and FF .I must be missing something really basic, but I can't see any difference |
