CSS - Valid Css Options For Max-width
I'm using the max-width in IE in my site - specifically I'm using it to set the minimum height of certain elements. Now that it has become a key part of my design, I realized that it generates errors in the W3 validator.
Does anyone know a valid way to use the min-height that will work with IE? Similar TutorialsHi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6. Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have a header div with a background image - it's basically a pair of hands holding a banner - the arms extending to the sides of the window. I'm trying to work it so that, no matter how wide or thin the window, the arms will always extend to the sides. So when you make it smaller, the image will disappear beyond the viewing window. This happens automatically on the right-hand side, but the image is stopping it on the left. Is there a way to set a min-width, which is smaller then the image itself, so that when the window is shrunk the image starts to disappear on either side until it reaches the min-width? I'm trying to get it so the arms will disappear and stop at the hands. Or can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I tried to do it with background and header image, with the arms on the background, so when the top image moves it looks like the arms move with it. That worked great until I started using a patterned background. Full width: |---------------------------------------| |AAAAAAAAHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHAAAAAAAAA| |---------------------------------------| Shrunk width: ------- |------------------------| -------- AAAAAAA |AHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHA| AAAAAAAA ------- |------------------------| -------- Grey bit outside window edge. | Window side A Arms H Hands B Banner I hope that makes sense. I expect there's an easy solution but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and could do with someone else's perspective. Thanks. Is there a place where one can find valid doctypes? I have been using the one below for a lot of my design: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> And it has recently come to my attention that this is not pointing to a correct .dtd file. When I do something like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> It drastically changes the layout of my page particularily areas where I have specified 100% height. Is there something I'm missing? Where does one find these correct doctypes? I am developing websites using ASP.NET and C# for the code-behind. I just started using css design and I realized after trying to validate my rendered pages that some things in ASP.NET would be VERY difficult to make completely valid. IE: ASP.NET automatically renders this piece of code everytime the page is rendered: Code:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("netscape") > -1) {
theform = document.forms["frm"];
}
else {
theform = document.frm;
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
// -->
</script>
That right there is invalid due to the fact that it does not have type="text/javascript" in the <script>. There are many other instances of this that I won't go into detail. In order to fix this you have to override ASP.NET's page rendering methods and do a Regex! thats right, a regex on EACH line of code to replace the line above with valid XHTML. This can become VERY inefficient if you are serving 30+ pages a second. My question is this: at this point is it really worth the performance hit on my web server to make my asp.net sites XHTML compliant? on a side note, I would like to bludgeon the MS designer that wrote these chunks of code into ASP.NET!@!$%#$ thanks! if there is anyone who knows css really well and is willing to help me figure a few odds and ends up (the css is already made, just 2 problems), i will give you $2 paypal. I know it's not much, but I just need help with 2 problems. my aim is kutekyla if you are interested. So my page is valid strict xhtml 1.0, and valid css 2, yet it looks so messed up in FF. I can't figure out why. http://www.drowninginmytears.org/index.php It looks perfect in IE, but totally messed up in FF Can anyone help? Thanks. Originally, I used <DIV> as containers for background images which swap when you hover over them. I enclosed the <DIV> tags with <A> tags to make them 'links'. Older versions of IE didn't want to work with this though and I found it this is invalid CSS, so I explored some more... The best solution I have found so far is to use <A> itself as a container. This solved the IE5 problems, but now IE4 SP2 doesn't show them at all. I'm okay with leaving IE4 behind, but I discovered that using <A> tags as containers was an invalid technique. If I can't use <A><DIV> and I can't use <A>, then what can I use to make valid, preloaded CSS image rollovers that work? I'm not considering Javascript an option. Is it possible? Here's a random, simliar example of what I've done with the <A> tags. http:// www. findmotive. com /2006/10/31/simple-css-image-rollover/ The following script has been validated and is working fine (not in IE/Win): body { margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px; padding:0; background:#ccffff; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:link { color: #0000ff; } a:visited { color: #33cc00; } t{line-height:36px;} #wrap { width:613px; left:50%; margin-left:-336px; background:#ffffff; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } #sidebar { position:absolute; float:left; width:150px; border: 1px solid #000033; padding:15px; background:#ffffff; height:650px; z-index:1; } #main { float:right; width:390px; border: 1px solid #000033; overflow: auto; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size:13px; text-align:left; padding-top:20px; padding-right:20px; padding-bottom:20px; padding-left:20px; background:#ffffff; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:66% 540px; background-image:url(smalljester.jpg); height:750px; overflow:auto; z-index:2; } I'm still trying to figure out why it works. In particular, there are two margin-left tags in the #wrap div, one is -336 px and the other auto. I seem to remember this had to do with centering the layout (the negative margin) but how is it valid with two margin-left properties? TIA [I'd post the html from the dozen or so pages this is working on but there are too many urls.] Hi all I'm working with Firefox and Firebug plugin. I want to check if the CSS I use is valid *the way browsers interpret it*. Example: Code: /* Valid: */
div.my {
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
}
/* Invalid: */
div.my {
z-index: 10; /* The attribute is not applied to the div, because it's not positioned! These sort of errors I want to get to know somehow! */
}
/* Valid: */
div.my {
z-index: 10; /* At this point the CSS isn't valid yet... */
}
div.my {
position: relative; /* Now it is valid (I guess, because I guess the browser first parses all CSS available and only after this it assigns the attributes?) */
}
I hope you see what I mean. I came upon this because I had some problems with z-indexes and then remembered that every z-positioned element needs to be positioned. If I had a cool Firefox plugin that would have checked the CSS every time before it were applied to the document and warned me this wouldn't have been a big problem. ;-) Thanks a lot for help Josh Are there any? I am using the 'body:nth-of-type' hack at the moment and it is the one error when i validate my css. Any help much appreciated! I triedThis one aswell but again the css won't validate. I know there must be more i haven't tried but i was wondering if someone would be so kind and save me the effort of finding one that validates?? p.s. i am new at this... be kind!! This could be a tough one... I have trawled the search engines for a solution, but I don't think I'll find one. What I want to know is is it possible to create a dropdown navigation menu without using Javascript? I've seen an example of how it can be done with CSS, but the author said that it will not validate. Thanks in advance Andy Hello, I work with ASP.NET and I never liked the way some controls are rendered. Fortunately .NET 3.5 has a new control, ListView, which lets me render my HTML code the way I want. I need do display tabular data on various pages of a web site. Should I use tables? Should I use lists? What other option is best and which should I use? And if I use a table what is the cleaner and better table code I should have? For example, should I consider this a good code: <div class="PrettyGridView" id="GridView1"> <div class="AspNet-GridView"> <div class="AspNet-GridView-Pagination AspNet-GridView-Top"> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$1')">1</a> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$2')">2</a> <span>3</span> </div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary=""> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort $Operation')">Operation</a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Reps')">Repetitions</ a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Duration')">Total test</a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Average')">Average</ a></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Sin</td> <td>27124</td> <td>31</td> <td>1.1521</td> </tr> <tr class="AspNet-GridView-Alternate"> <td>Sinh</td> <td>19777</td> <td>31</td> <td>1.5801</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class="AspNet-GridView-Pagination AspNet-GridView-Bottom"> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$1')">1</a> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$2')">2</a> <span>3</span> </div> </div> </div> Thanks, Miguel Hi, I have used the UL and LI elements to build a tree as follows: Code:
<div class="tree">
<ul>
<li>
<span>One</span>
<span class="controls">
<input type="radio" ... />
<input type="button" ... />
</span>
<ul>
<li>
<span>Child of One</span>
<span class="controls">
<input type="radio" ... />
<input type="button" ... />
</span>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
</div>
The result of the above XHTML would be somethings as follows: Code: - One <Radio> <Button> - Child of One <Radio> Button> ... Now I want to try and get the following result through CSS: Code:
- One <Radio> <Button>
- Child of One <Radio> Button>
- Another Child <Radio> Button>
- Second Child <Radio> Button>
- Two <Radio> Button>
- Child of Two <Radio> Button>
...
That is in other words I want to have still have elements indented for every child element but all the controls of the elements are under each other at the right side of the div element. Is this possible? If so are there any example I can use? I have wrapped the controls inside a span because I felt that this would help. However I do not know how I can change the width of each 'li' element depending on its position in the three! (unless I use javascript, which I am trying to avoid). Also I do not know if CSS wise this is the best way forward. Thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Sim085 |
