CSS - Thumbnail And Caption Formating With Html And Css
See the current solution here ...
What I would like to do is dump the table, so that the images and captions wrap at screen width. I have been experimenting with CSS and <span>s but as yet haven't managed a similar formating. And ideas/solutions/pointers would be greatly appreciated Chris Jones URL Similar TutorialsHi Guys I have a series of <li></li> within a <td> The problem is that the lists are far away from the left side of the table hence causing all the information to spread over to the next line. Is there tweak for this to make the <li> info be closer to the left... Thanks Didi I'm trying to set up a box to hold an image and a caption. I thought it would be really easy, but I'm having huge difficulties... Here's what I want: A floating box contains my image and caption. It shrinks to fit the image width (which varies depending on the image), and the caption wraps onto new lines if needed. Simple, eh? Well, apparently not... I just can't get my text to wrap. If the line of text is longer than the image, it stretches the whole container. No matter how many workarounds I try! Can someone please tell me how it's done using CSS?! I have an image that is float: right that I want a caption under. I read the Floatutorial and another float tuturial and thought I did what it said, but now the image floats left of the caption - sort of. I want the image to float left and the caption in dk blue to be beneath it. Here is the problem page Here is the css code for the float part: Code: .imgRight {
clear: none;
float: right;
min-width: 100px;
color: #3399FF;
font-weight: bold;
}
.imgRight img {
margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px;
border: 1px solid #000099;
overflow: visible;
}
Here is the xhtml code for the float part: Code: <p>Vitalograph Ltd was founded in 1963, building on a successful business in respiratory
diagnostic and therapeutic products started in 1951. </p>
<div class="imgRight"><img src="../images/p_model.jpg" width="275" height="182" alt="Vitalograph P Model Spirometer" />
1966 Vitalograph P Model Spirometer</div>
<p>Vitalograph achieved its early success
by taking spirometry from a complex laboratory test to a simple effective screening procedure
- with the key benefit of providing early detection, and therefore more effective treatment.</p>
Hi all, I'm setting up a travel, photoblog for my trip around the world next semester (I'm a junior in college), and am having trouble getting the captions to match up on vertical images. Examples by clicking "more photos" on oliverwolfe dot net. I'm using the Wordpress CSS Theme Zack 990 Currently, the captions always set to 990 pixel-width, which fits perfectly with the theme and horizontals. For verticals, I want to know if there is a conditional statement I can add to the CSS so that, if I add a vertical image, the caption will change to 680 width. Thanks! Hi, I try to use two div's to align a caption and a textbox for I don't want to use dozens of Code: between the two below ain't that good Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I wish to place a small image with a caption by its side in the middle of a div. What would be the better approach, (i)to put the two in a div and use absolute positioning or (ii)to use margins to position the two. Either way seems to work but I am looking for an approach that would be considered correct by a professional web developer. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Help, I'm trying to combine two effects I came across. The code works well but I have a problem when the image changes width. The caption box doesn't size accordingly. I tried multiple iterations for the transbox width without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code source: Dropshadow Image Caption Code: <html>
<style type="text/css">
div.image_wrapper img {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
display: block;
margin: -5px 5px 5px -5px;
padding: 4px;
position: relative;
}
div.image_wrapper {
background: url('_images/shadow.gif') no-repeat bottom right;
clear: right;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 0 25px;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}

I have a left nav that I'm trying to squeeze as much text in as possible in 155 px. In IE FF/MOZ this is working fine by using various combinations of letter and word spacing. Opera 7 just seems to ignore most of it. Code:
#section_nav div a{
font-size:.9em;
color:#fff;
font-weight:600;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
letter-spacing:-.5px;
}
*html #section_nav div a{
word-spacing:-1px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
}
if I take out the *html it works in opera but then looks bad in FF is there any hack to show only to opera? or is there something to hide from FF/MOZ How's it going, If you look at this page, you'll notice that the text doesn't wrap around the image, but instead breaks after the caption just below the image: http://www.trophyfishingcharters.com/test/ Ideally, I want the text to wrap around the picture, with the caption remaining just below the photo. How can I pull this off? Thank you. Everytime I think I am getting the hang of CSS -- for simple pesonal homepages, etc -- they still always seem to get the worse on me. I am trying to generate a moderately simple page with title, prelude, menu (as per a table) with menu, content and comment box, followed by a quick sumary, etc. I seem to be having troubles getting the three -- menu, content & comment boxes -- to size correctly. I have a surounding box (by a div) for them, but they do not seem to entirely follow/use it as their parent... If I set them to top:0, it is the top of the window frame, but otherwise they seem to position within their more local parent div. Ultimately, I am striving to get into this CSS way of 'life', but it is very difficult as I am working mainly alone. I do have books but perhaps I am not seeing the info entirely correct... Perhaps some of you chaps/gurus can help me here. I have recently gathered that "html" is or should be used in the CSS file too...? Looking for help. My current (broken) home page can be accessed via: "dgringo.homeip.net/~dgringo/index.shtml" Here is the code and the CSS file: <head> <title>...</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="entry.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <h1>Me (iMac's) Web-space</h1> <div id="prelude"> <!--#include virtual="includes/header.incl" --> </div> <table id="main"> <tr> <td id="menu"> <!--#include virtual="includes/menu.incl" --> </td> <td id="content"> <!--#include virtual="includes/body.incl" --> </td> <td id="topics"> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic1.incl" --> </p> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic2.incl" --> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="includes/footer.incl" --> </div> <div class="adendeum"> Last updated <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --><br /> </div> </body> </html> ------------- The CSS file now follows: a:link {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a:visited {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a {color: black;} a:hover {text-decoration:underline;color: silver;} body { color: #000000; background: #669999; } h1 { text-align: center; } #prelude { width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; text-align: center; } #main { display: block; width: 100%; border: silver dotted; height: 16em; } #main td { border: dashed; } #menu { position: absolute; width: 20%; left: 2%; } #content { position: absolute; left: 23%; width: 50%; } #topics { position: absolute; left: 74%; width: 20%; } p:first-line { color: gray; background-color: green; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-right: 10px; } .adendeum { font-weight: lighter; color: gray; text-align: center; } Hey everyone, I'm working on developing a small CMS, as a project to help push myself into actually completing something and would jsut love some insight into how to clean up some of my CSS. At the moment im not satisfied how im formating the CSS stylesheet. For example Im working with nested divs, in this case for one component of the site, and I find I'm repeating certain perameters that could be avoided, but I'm unsure how to do that. Example Code: PHP Code: echo '<div id="article">'; echo '<div id="article_header">'; echo $row['news_title']; echo '</div>'; echo '<div id="article_content">'; echo $row['news_content']; echo '</div>'; echo '<div id="article_footer">'; echo 'Add Comment'; echo '</div>'; echo '</div>'; CSS: Code:
#article {
margin-bottom: 8px;
border: 1px #1D1D1D solid;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #4C4C4C;
}
#article_header {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #1D1D1D;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
#article_content {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #333333;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
#article_footer {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #333333;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
text-align: right;
}
To summarize my question, is there a better way of formating my CSS and how would I do so? I'm really hung up on what class alignments I need to alter in order to get my thumbnails to align properly. If my thumbnails span the width of my page width, they are justified, but if they do not, they align left. The forum isn't letting me post a link to an example, but my website is at www dot the312hole dot com. The latest post shows an example of what I'm talking about with the thumbnails at the bottom of the post. Any advice on how to get them to always space evenly? Preferably with a predefined margin and padding that spaces them equally regardless of how many are in each row? Thanks for the help! Apologies if this is in the wrong section guys but it's a combo of CSS, JS and HTML. On my site I want to have a thumbnail (horizontal) scroller, which when clicked on a thumbnail uses the Lightbox style script to open an image. I'd prefer that over a block of say 20 thumbnails to call upon. However, I'm totally stumped of how to do this. I'm trying to set a link style for thumbnail images I have on my site but am having difficulty getting the style to take over the a { } and a:hover { } styles. Here is an example of the styles I have set; Code:
a {
color: #005D93;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
#thumb {
position: relative;
float: left;
padding-left: 21px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
#thumb img {
width: 96px;
height: 145px;
}
#thumb img a {
text-decoration: none;
border: 2px;
border-color: #F5F6F7;
border-style: solid;
}
#thumb img a:hover {
border-color: #990000;
}
An example image tag is as follow; Code: <div id="thumb"><a href="details/page2.html" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','640','460','yes');return false;"><img src="Images/2714.jpg"></a></div> With the above mentioned, the thumbnail is surround by the a color of #005D93 and not the border color I expected. An example can be seen here - Example. I know it must be something fairly obvious I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, JT Can anyone help me get this to work in IE? Here's the link to the page I'm working on, which I'll be moving from my site to the proper domain soon. ... (annoyed - can't post urls as a new user, which makes this forum limiting - is there a way around this? How about if I try "#" = "." and "|" = "/" http:||krisbunda#com|bb|db-series-planters#html ) ... Here's the "thumbnails" CSS I'm using: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code .gallerycontainer{ position: relative; text-align:right; margin-left: 0em auto; margin-right: 0em auto; /*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/ } .thumbnail img{ border: .25em solid #FFF; margin: .5em .5em .5em .5em; height: 8.5em; width: 8.5em; } .thumbnail:active{ background-color: transparent; } .thumbnail:active img{ border: 0em solid #3F0; } .thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ position: absolute; background-color: #999; padding: 0em; left: -250em; border: .25em dashed gray; visibility: hidden; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; text-align:center; height:auto; width:auto; } .thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ border-width: .25em; padding: 0em; height:auto; width:auto; } .thumbnail:active span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/ visibility: visible; top: 0em; left: 1.5em; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */ z-index: 5; height:auto; width:auto; }
And here's the HTML: (well, the html will have to be viewed in the browser because of the "No URLs" rule) Thanks in advance for any help. Hi, I would like to make a html 'button' tag of 'submit' type look and behave like a html hyperlink. (For those who would be curious, the reason is that I want to pass a variable to the target script, using the post method rather than appending a name-value pair to the hyperlink url, while keeping a conventional presentation. In the end, it should make the passed variable less visible for the end user, except of course if they look at the source code and look for a hidden input). I considered to use the CSS2 system colors codes, but I did not find a code for hyperlink, and anyway, system colors will be deprecated in CSS3, so it is no good idea if I want to make my pages portable in the far future. I tried to use the appearance property from CSS3, but it does not seem to be wel implemented yet in current browsers. For now, I just styled my html button, removing border, and setting the background and foreground colors to something similar to an hyperlink, but then I have no guarantee that this will match the actual look & feel in the end user's browser. Any hint or suggestion ? Hey guys. I am having trouble getting a column to go the full length of the page. Here is a link to the page http://www.tjshafer.com/projects/ca...me/subpage.html I have marked in the page where the table is that should have a height of 100%.

This is the td which has the code in it, Code: <td id="leftcell" valign="top" height="100%"> <!--begin table for menu which includes background--> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" id="menucell"><tr><td width="247" valign="top"> <!--begin menu table--> <table cellspacing="0" id="menuitems" border="0" width="159"> <tr><td> </td><td id="menuheader" align="left" width="159" style="line-height:12px"> <br>CONTEMPORARY<img src="images/menu_underline.gif" width="159" height="1" alt="menu cell bg"><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Sofas & Chairs</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot" border="0"> Casual Dining & Bar Stools</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Bedroom</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Home Entertainment</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Home Office</a><br><br> WICKER & RATTON<img src="images/menu_underline.gif" width="159" height="1" alt="menu cell bg"><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Sofas & Chairs</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Dining</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Bedroom</a><br><br> OUTDOOR<img src="images/menu_underline.gif" width="159" height="1" alt="menu cell bg"><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Aluminum</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Cast Aluminum</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Wrought Iron</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> All Weather Wicker</a><br> <a href="test.html"><img src="images/ul_dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="menu item dot"border="0"> Wood</a></td> </tr> </table> <!--end menu table--> </td></tr></table> <!--end table which includes background--> </td> I tried adding height="100%" everywhere i could think.

I have been able to remove the initial color by adding <Body link="000000"> to the body, but, that doesnt seem like a complete solution. I have spent all morning at work (nice job i know) trying to figure this out, and have had no joy... I bow to the infinate wisdom of the masses. hey guys i didnt know what to do so came here to ask im making just one web page, i have done all the coding and everything is set it works fine in Firefox and works fine with IE7 and IE8.... but i am having problems with the page when i open with IE6 help would be appreciated as a new user i cannot add webpage link anyone who is interested to help i can PM them the webpage or here im adding webpage hope i dont get banned for this linux103.mysite4now.net/desimafia/test2/tvshows.htm view it in IE6 and you will know the problem thanks |
