CSS - Layers Overlapping In Liquid Css Layout
i'm trying to write a liquit layout based in layers and css and have the next code:
Code:
<style type='text/css'>
<!--
body{font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin:5px 5px 5px 5px; position:relative;}
#header{border:1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:60px; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; min-width:600px;}
#menu{border:1px solid #000000; position:absolute; top:60px; left:0px; width:15%; min-width:150px;}
#content{border:1px solid #000000; position:absolute; top:60px; left:15%; width:85%; min-width:450px;}
-->
</style>
and in the body: Code: <body> <div id='header'>header</div> <div id='menu'>menu links</div> <div id='content'>contents</div> the little problem here is thata due to the percentages used to determine the left position of the contents layer it overlaps with the menu layer when i resize the window but i've seen a lot of pages that do not behave this way... what am i missing???? Similar TutorialsI am having trouble overlapping these two layers, they need to be relative. here is the code Code: <div id="layer1" style="position: relative; width: 99%; height: 100px; z-index: 1; border: 0px solid gray; color: #CC0066;"> <table width="80%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td style="filter: Alpha (Opacity=50); -moz-opacity: .5;" bgcolor="#EBAAA5" width="50%" height="40"></td> <td style="filter: Alpha (Opacity=50); -moz-opacity: .5;" bgcolor="#EBAAA5"></td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="layer2" style="position: relative; width: 99%; height: 100px; z-index: 2; border: 0px solid black;"> <table width="80%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td width="50%" height="40"><font face="verdana" size="2"><b>Oh, this is fantastic!</b></font></td> <td><center><font face="verdana" size="2"><b>This works for Firefox and IE.</b></font></center></td> </tr> </table> </div> any ideas? thanks! I'm attempting to create three layers, each containing a selection list form item, only one of which will be visible at any one time, based on the selection of another selection list (not shown in the code below). The layers must be centered within a Table cell: Code:
<table style="width:90%">
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;">
<div id="layer1" style="width:100%;">
<select id="select1">
<option selected>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="layer2" style="width:100%;">
<select id="select2">
<option selected>Option A</option>
<option>Option B</option>
</select>
</div>
<div id="layer3" style="width:100%;">
<select id="select3">
<option selected>Option 1A</option>
<option>Option 2B</option>
</select>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
.
.
This alone renders each layer sequentially, one on top of the other, vertically on the page, which is not what I want. I have tried using z-index values, but I think the problem stems more from the position value. I have tried using: Code: position:relative; left:0px; top:0px; on each layer, but nothing changes. I then tried using: Code: position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; on each layer, and the layers *did* overlap each other, but were placed at the top of the page. So before I tear out all of my hair, does anyone have a suggestion for how to place these layers within a table cell so that they are a) centered horizontally within the cell, and b) overlap each other? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - coredumped. I've spent a few hours researching this and I sure hope I'm not out of luck, because I'm not finding a solution. Here's my site (just a template): http://kris.dreamhosters.com/mhw/ As the subject line says, the links at the bottom are not clickable in IE6 or IE7 and I know exactly what is causing it. In order to have those curved graphics on the bottom, I have them attached to separate divs and I need to use a negative margin on one to pull it up so they align. That div covers the div that the links are in making them unclickable in IE. I've tried to move the links to the the other div, but that caused other problems in my template. I read through this article: http://www.vision.to/articles/the-difference-between-the-flow-and-positioning-for-web-pages.php Tried positioning, Z-index, nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would like to create a 2-column layout with a content area on the left and a "sidebar" area on the right. Pretty standard, right? Now the trick: on some pages, the sidebar will be absent, and I want the content area to then overflow the whole page width. I tried the following: Code: <div style="background-color: red; float: left;">content area text</div> <div style="background-color: blue; width: 200px; float: right;">sidebar text</div> When div #2 is excluded, div #1 of course expands to take up the whole page width. So that works. The problem is that when they're both present, and div #1 has a lot of text, it just pushes div #2 down a line. Note: The reason div #2 will sometimes not be present is that Drupal is generating the page, and plain leaves out div #2 if there's no content in it. It's not just empty -- it's not even included in the page. Can anyone help me accomplish this? I've looked at a lot of liquid layouts, but none seem to do quite this. Hello css gurus. I'm trying to fit a flash movie with 100% height in a liquid layout but i cant get rid of scroll bars. i have tied to explain the problem in this image: http://i(dot)imgur(dot)com/PhvSZ.gif (sorry new members are not allowed to post with links) in that image you can see its fine in case (1) but in case (2) when i add a header div on top, flash movie doesnt fill available space. Can anyone tell me how can i fix it with a heading div on top? Thanks. Hello on this page, the author shows a 3 Column Liquid Layout based on CSS percentage use. http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm The column layout is 2,1,3 (center page comes first in the html code). He states "The columns can also be configured to any other order if required." How to do the column configured as 1,2,3? (left, middle, right)? Hi all, I'm trying to get this mock up's structure finished STAT so that I can move on to the graphical, stylistic, and textual elements that need to be done, but I'm running into issues with IE... (surprised?) The goal is to get it to render as it does in FF and Safari. The issue right now is that, while the #body div is where I want it, it is not accepting the 85px bottom margin I am trying to code. Any help? (keep in mind I had to throw it in quirks mode to get it all to render like this) SITE is at: w w w [DOT] w h o l l y l i f e [DOT] o r g [SLASH] d r u m 2 [SLASH] Thanks, Michael Hello, To make my columns have equal lengths in fixed layouts, I have employed the Faux technique successfully. What would be the best technique for liquid layouts? I know of a js that suppose to equal the columns, and someone told there is a CSS method also. Can you still use the Faux? Any suggestions? Hi all, I've spent several hours to solve this problem, but found nothing working . The problem (well, there are much more problems ) is that I use 2-cols layout, so the left column (menu) is floating left. And now I need in the one page's head to get 2 images, one aligned to the left, the other to the right and actual text of the headings. I've found 2 good solution: 1) Classic, use float:left on one image, float:right on the other, and text-align: center on the headings. First thing I don't understand, why the image on the right is moved down? You can see it here. Then, the clear property should be used to force the headings to end bottom the images, but clear can't be used, because it also clears the menu (floating to the left) so the headings ends bottom the menu. 2) Using absolute/relative positioning - headigns can be made relatively positioned, images absolutely, one with left:0 and the other with right:0, but then the contents following after the headings is moved to the top, mixed with the heading. Similar problem is being solved in this thread, but I didn't found there anything working . Can anybody help, please? Here are used CSS: Web.css, Fotogalerie.css. Hi, I'm having a problem a liquid layout using 100 percent width. The inner box peeks out side to the right of the containing box (which is 100% width). I am viewing with firefox. At a resolution of 1024 width. With IE 6 it's very nasty looking (extremely wide).

Whenever I work on a liquid layout, I have been setting the Max-Width to 1280px. Is this still the normal setting? Or designers do go wider these days? Thank you Hi Guys, I have a layout which is currently setup to be liquid. Aka it spreads out depending on how big the browser window is. I'm trying to get it to be a set width. I can't quite get it figured out. Here is the link to the current layout (made to be generic). It's a layout I got from a CCS class. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.html The css is here http://65.175.116.253/design/css.css The entire package can be downloaded here http://65.175.116.253/design/design.rar Now, to explain how I want it to look, I took my browser and made it just wide enough to show how wide I want the layout to be, and took a screenshot. But I can't get my css to make the whole layout that wide.. I'm scracthing my head here because it's probably really easy. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.jpg Let's not worry about the exact width, but I want to define in the css the pixel width, so that can be changed whenever.

Okay, I am attempting to make my first-ever layout, (all by myself!! I'm so proud.) but, seeing as this is my first real attempt, I've run into some problems. My latest seems pretty simple, yet I can't seem to find a solution... The page in progress is here. Currently I have made divs as a css layout for my content, and have a fixed background. The problem: I would like it if my content didn't go over the top part of the background; the moon and the brushes/text I plan to add. Now I don't know anything about images and stuff, but my first thought was to cut the image, and make the top part on another layer, so it's not part of the background anymore, and the layers I already have will scroll under it, and not over. But in the css layout I'm using, apparently all layers are on the same... what would I call it, plane? I don't know if I'm at all on the right track with this, so I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks. I would appreciate any advise as to whether this degrades properly as the browser is narrowed. I didn't post this in the "critique" forum because my only concern (right now) is related to CSS. There is a separate style sheet for handhelds, so if you have one I would appreciate a look from there also. Most links are still inactive. Liquid design TIA, Rob Ive seen a few topics about centering layers in browsers and it seems really complicated and often to specific to relate to my site. I used to use tables which were of course easy to center, but now at college we have to use layers (im working in design view im not a coder) and the teacher said try putting a layer in a layer and centering that but ive tried this and it doesnt work, i can get a layer in another layer, but not center it within it. This is the site im trying to do, i notice on cssvault.com cssbeauty.com most of the css sites (i know mines not really in css as such) are all centered and I was wondering how everyone does it? I went to the macromedia website and it said you can use an extension which works but for some reason it doesnt let you edit the site once you have centered it. Basically is there a simple way for me to center my site or is it really complicated? I wonder why we are learning in layers when tables center easily and move relative to each other Hi, Basically, this is one of my site pages: http://www.zombiemod.com/rm/nina2/about.html I want the white box in the middle to auto expand its height so it fills the vertical height of the page. Ive tried setting its height to 100% but that doesnt seem to work. This is my CSS for the white space: Code: #frame {
position: relative;
padding: 2px 15px 20px;
/* background-color: #000;*/
color: #000000;
height: 410px;
}
Can anyone help me with this? Im not great with this stuff, so I just want the easiest way possible, whether it is javascript or css. Running into some issues with a design. I have provided a link to show what is happening. at the end, with some code, css, etc The design calls for using up as much space width wise as possible, so that if the resolution gets bigger, the content in the main content section will expand. There is a left side nav, which is a fixed width, and then the main content section, which I do not know the width. both are floated left. The problem is, when the content in the main section expands to get bigger, in Firefox, will expand the size of the main section div to 100% of the screen before the text will flow to the next line, and thus, throws the div (which is floated) down to the next line. Without setting a width of the main content div, and wanting to keep the left side nav a specific width, I am not sure how to avoid this problem. I just happened check in IE7, and it seems to do what I want (I haven't checked IE6). I have posted a screenshot of what happens. On the left side, is IE7, at a bigger resolution also (1280) right side of screenshot is firefox, at a smaller resolution (1024) http://ricebox.whiteazn.com/liquid.png here is some code. Also, the CSS will seem to be declared more than once, but that is because they are split up between structure.css, text.css, and theme.css. I also only put in the CSS for the main body part. Any help would be appreciated. ======================= html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Control Panel: Company Name</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" /> <link href="css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="scripts/p3p.xml" rel="P3Pv1" /> </head> <body> <div id="header"> <div class="logo"> <img src="images/header/logo.jpg" width="197" height="67" alt="alt" title="title" /> </div> <div class="nav"> <div class="parent-drill"> </div> <div class="manage-nav"> <ul id="main-nav"> <li><a href="?ebxid=221" class="inventory">Inventory</a></li> <li class="selected"><a href="?ebxid=700" class="leads">Leads</a></li> <li><a href="?ebxid=500" class="analytics">Analytics</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="details"> <div class="account-info"> Company Name <span class="rep">First Name</span> </div> <div class="account-details"> <ul id="account-nav"> <li><a href="?ebxid=725">Settings</a></li> <li><a href="?ebxid=244">Account</a></li> <li class="logout"><a href="?logout">Logout</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="header-seperator"> </div> <div id="main-body"> <div class="top"></div> <div class="bot"></div> <div id="section-nav-narrow"> <div class="title-hdr"><h3>Leads</h3></div> </div> <div id="body-content">main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br /> main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br /> main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br /> main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br />main page<br /> main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page main page </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #main-body { overflow: hidden; margin-left: 10px; position: relative; } #main-body #section-nav-narrow { float: left; width: 133px; } #main-body .title-hdr { margin: 6px 3px 0 3px; padding: 0 0 6px 9px; } #main-body #section-nav-narrow .title-hdr { width: 118px; } #main-body .top { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 133px; height: 8px; } #main-body .bot { position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 133px; height: 1px; } #main-body #body-content { float: left; min-width: 860px; } #main-body { background: #fff url(../images/cp_template/left_nav.gif) left top repeat-y; } #main-body #section-nav-narrow { } #main-body .top { background: #fff url(../images/cp_template/left_nav_top.jpg) left top no-repeat; } #main-body .bot { background: #fff url(../images/cp_template/left_nav_bot.gif) left top no-repeat; } #main-body .title-hdr { background-color: #fff; color: #1b5094; } #main-body #section-nav-narrow h3 { } #main-body .title-hdr h3 { font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; }
I'm getting ready to tackle a new project, it will be a hard one indeed. There will be two phases to the design. First a full css layout, I'm most likely going with a three column, header and footer layout. The left column will give the appearance it is outside the main design but it will be inside. I'll be using it to hold an events schedule on all the pages. The second phase I will do my best to attempt to integrate the layout as a WP theme so that it has all the WP back end control for a CMS but it will look nothing like a blog. I'm curious before I get started though should I go with a liquid design using % and ems measurements or a fixed width design? I know that there are advantages and disadvantages to both but which one is more widely used in website design these days I don't want it looking small on a high res monitor but I also don't want 800x600 users to be scrolling the width either. One more thing, The look I want is for the header and footer to stretch the entire width of the browser window and I know that is accomplished with liquid design but can it be with fixed width too? LB This post can be deleted. I figured out the problem. I'm not so CSS savvy, can anyone help me with the specific changes needed here that will force the 3 columns to load height at 100% or full column height? Also is it possible to have multiple content boxes loading one above the other in the left and right columns instead of one long content box? jarsandmixes.com/liquid.php body { background-color: #FFF7EF; } div { text-align:center; } div#wrapper { background-color: transparent; border:0px solid black; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; position:relative; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; } div#border { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:10px; } div#page { background-color: #DEC6B5; border:1px dashed black; position:relative; clear:both; float:left; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; padding-bottom: 10px; overflow:hidden; } div#header { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; border:1px dashed black; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:100%; height:80px; } div#menu { clear: both; background-color: #CA7B93; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } div#left1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; float:left; margin:5px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#left2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#content1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:5px auto; width:54%; height:auto; } div#content2 { background-color: #DEC6B5; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; width:96%; height:auto; } div#divider { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; margin:10px auto; width:439px; height:60px } div#right1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; float:right; border:1px solid black; margin:5px; right:10px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#right2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#footer { clear: both; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } |
