CSS - Using Css On Text Only Sites
Ive just finished building my site and ive implemented a text only alternative. I have not used CSS deliberately as i am unsure whether this, in some cases, is not supported by certain browsers. Reason i ask is because i want to specify font size as a % rather than px or pt so that end users can change the view to text "small" or "large" Would i be better off doing this in the html or by attaching a CSS?
Thanks in advance, cuban Similar TutorialsHi guys, Could you please make up a little list of the sites that u think best use CSS 2? Very good for learning P.S. I want pure CSS 2 (no basic table syntax or css 1 whatsoever) Thank you I've done a few web sites. Nothing really snazzy - I tend to focus on the information being available rather than having it "look cool". As a result, I've received various comments from "it's fantastic" (from people who are actually trying to find information) to "it's boring" (from those who are used to the frantic Flash-based web sites on a lot of the social networking places). There's a huge age range in users, too - it's a school-related site, so there are Jr. High students and their parents looking at it. Anyway, as a revamp, I started to look at CSS templates, partly as a way to play with CSS, but also because it seems to be the "right way" to do things these days. My earlier efforts use frames, and there's a header, a footer, a left-side navigation frame, and then the right-side "info" frame where everything shows up. So I did some Googling and found some offerings for free CSS templates. Grabbed a few and looked, and they are much nicer than my basic colors and styles. So I started working up a sample site and hit a snag when I wanted to do a second page. There was a sample index.html that had a section with a navigation menu on the left, and a flexible middle column, and a fixed column on the right. I got a basic front page together, and decided to create a new menu item for "About us", and link that to a new page. Here's my issue/problem - it seems that the way to create the new page is to duplicate the index.html, then hand tweak the menu to indicate the current location (there's a class="current" attribute on a <a> tag), and then rework the text section in the middle. While that's doable, it offends my programmer's ethic of "do the work only once", which, in this case, means that I can't see why the menu has to be rebuilt each time. Am I missing something? Is this the way that multipage sites based on CSS layouts really work? Or do I need to find a better sample or tutorial on doing a multipage site where the efforts need to be made once to get a menu working, and then leave it alone until a real change is required. Hi guys, Could you please make up a list of the best programmed CSS sites (markup-wise).... I haven't found anything near that in the sticky threads you have over here. 1/ k10k.net 2/ ??? 3/ ? Thank you Hi, I am seeing an error which I think is because of z-index, the error is really strange. See these two posts in two different sites (while keeping in mind that the data is same only the sites are having different css) Code: 1st site (buggy one) : http://bloghutsbeta.blogspot.com/2012/03/testing-3.html 2nd site (the okay one) : http://www.bloghuts.com/2011/08/wizard-fashion.html To see the error please go to first site then click on PLAY and while keeping it open, kindly go to the 2nd on and then click on PLAY you will see the error that I am talking about, I am not able to understand what's going on? I would like to pop up the text, that is, make it bigger when the user hovers on it. but the problem everytime the text gets bigger, the whole row moves and the surrounding texts gets displaced. any idea ? tutorial? let me know if i need to explain more. Good Morning All, Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below. The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement. ***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned. text ----------------------------------------------------------- rather than text ------ and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x. Please see relevant css information. * (line 23) { margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; } h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101) { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 0.6em; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: center; } .contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114) { background-color: transparent; background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: left bottom; color: #0066cc; } Many Thanks in advance. Marc. can someone help me with this? here is the page&css I have been working on... the page file the css file I might be silly to use a template that I did on illustrator (with all the banner, boxes and navbar read and just use that as my container background. then I made some transparent boxes for puting in text, images or form elements. Is that why I am not able to select any other those things on the site? this is the first time I try using css to make the whole webpage, so I would appreciate any guidance...thanks!! I know how to position regular text using the in-line style "text-align:right", but when I try to do that with a link I get nowhere. Simplified example: Code: <html> <body> <td><p style="text-align:right">Google</p></td> <td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <td><a style="text-align:right" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></td> <td><span style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></span></td> <td style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <span style="text-align:right"><td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td></span> </body> </html> The first body line works fine to move the text to the right, but the link in lines 2-5 of the body are stuck on the left. Any suggestions? (My actual code invokes a class from a css page in a particular <td> and I'm trying to force a link in that <td> to the right using an in-line style; while I can do that for regular text I haven't found the secret of doing that for a link.) I saw a website that was throwing text that was written and recalling it with a link into a textbox...are there any tuts or anyone help me out with this one thanx aim rpduece i have almost perfected the text wrap for this page.... http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/relevent.php4 problem is, i put a margin-top:50px on the image, and i want the text above the image, to flow all the way to the left. thus fully wraping the text. Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> Hmm, This is a problem that has plagued me for a while, but just recently decided to find a solution. Basically I like to single out words for empasis on certain pages. Well with EM that's fine. However on a new website I'm coding I need to do (TYPE 1 FONT) (TYPE 2 FONT) (TYPE 3 FONT). All are different decorations. Is there a way to create a tag for each word? Thanks. Is it possible to have text run around a div positioned with absolute positioning? Hi, Howdo you get text and and image on the same line. I want text and 2 images on the same line but the image appears on the next line like a <br> has been entered. There is plenty of room for all data.Each has its own <div>. I'm having trouble with a page I'm working on- I posted here a few weeks ago with something sort of similar. This time, though, I'm at a loss, I've tried several different things but nothing worked. http://www.geocities.com/nny555/eup/newschedule.html As you can see, the div where the content is, the text is stretching right through the div. Is there any way to fix this? Based on the questions I see being asked and answered here, I'm concerned many of you will laugh at my ignorance, but here goes anyway. I want to know how to use CSS on just a little text. For example, let's say I want to render One-Two-Three-BOOM as text on a Web page, except that what I really want is for the BOOM part to be in a larger font and bold-faced. Can that be done using CSS? Can I select the BOOM part in Front Page 2003 and impose a CSS style to those four letters and only those four? Everything I try, based on the CSS file I'm using, results in applying the new style to all of the text within a whole paragraph. I want to be able to apply the style to just a little text at a time. As another example, I want to render the following two lines Johnny G. Doe 123 West South Street in such a way that, using CSS to control everything, I can get the second line to appear in a smaller font. I can get it to work if there's a <p> between the two lines, but not if I want to separate them with a <br>. I'm not asking whether it's a good idea to use CSS this way, I'm just asking how to do it. I will try to attach a file to this thread that shows the first several lines of the CSS file I'm using, in case that makes a difference. If this doesn't work, please let me know. Thanks. --Johnny Heya Im having issues trying to keep text inside a div.

<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Welcome</a></li>
<li><a href="home page/about.html">About SEDDA</a></li>
<li><a href="home page/location.html">Locations</a></li>

Unless I'm mistaken I 've used the same method successfully before without problem. Can anybody tell me what the problem is please. Thanks James Hi: I'm trying to create text with a drop-shadow without having to resort to an image. I have found the "shadow" command for CSS and have used it as such: Code: p.title_drop_shadow_yellow {
margin:0px auto;
font-family: Biondi, Serif;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-variant: small-caps;
width:650px;
filter:shadow;
color:#FBDE80;
font-size:250%;
}
This gives the desired effect in MS Internet Explorer (granted the color choice needs some work) but it gives no effect at all in firefox. Does anyone know how to make this work on other browsers? Is there another way to get a drop-shadow? Thanks. |
