CSS - [css] Positioning 2 Layers In One Centered Layer
Similar TutorialsOk here's my problem - I have three columns/layers (left, center, right) which are inside the content layer. I need to use relative positioning so when the page is re-sized all the page elements are still centered on the page. The problem I am having is that I cannot figure out a way for the colums to be aligned and seem to go under one another. I also need to keep the center colum with an overflow. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful! Thanks <div id="content"> <div id="leftcolumn"></div> <div id="centercolumn"></div> <div id="rightcolumn"></div> <!-- End content --> </div> #leftcolumn { background-image: url(images/leftcolumn.gif); height: 412px; width: 148px; position: relative; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 4px; } #centercolumn { background-color:#FFFFFF; height: 412px; width: 382px; position: relative; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 3px; overflow: auto; text-indent: 2px; } #rightcolumn { background-image:url(images/rightcolumn.gif); height: 412px; width: 148px; position: relative; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 7px; } Hello All, Im currently stuck trying to get a layer on top of a layer. The image below shows the problem. img68.imageshack.us/img68/5579/picture3cl2.png And here is a link to a code version: thenpcs.com/beta/ Any help greatfully appreciated! My website (OPM) uses css for all the layout. Sometimes, when I load a new page within the website, the entire webpage appears nested within one of the layers. When I reload the page, this effect disappears right away or after a few reloads. It appears about 10% of the time and occurs in several different browsers (i.e. Firefox, IE). Nested webpage error URL Normal page URL I don't know why this is happening, especially since it's only part of time. Please help! Thank you, Misha Hi guys, I'm quite new to CSS and I'm having trouble with layers. I have a layer that I want to contain other layers. The main layer has no text or content, its sole aim is to provide a white backdrop for the other layers. The other layers consist of a banner, navigation and content. When the content gets longer, i.e. when the page is minimised, the content layer gets longer, but the main containing layer does not. As a result the content layer extends outside of the main layer. I'm useless at explaining this so here is the URL http://www.chriswiggins.net/comp3092/lineup.xml (The page does not render properly in IE, I use Firefox) The website is for a university assignment,and has little content at the minute. Any help is well recieved, Chris Is it possible to make a layer relative to the 'body' or some other container in my web page? The position of my layer changes with each screen, browser or setting but I would like to be able to keep it, say, 150px in from the left edge of the 800px wide 'container' I've made. In other words, I want a layer to act like any other selection. Thanks Chris Well, I can't post links so this is going to be hard as hell to type out. I have a layer within that page that I want in a certain position, yet when I move the width of my browser the layer does not stay where I want it. Obviousely, this does not make any sense because its something you have to see. I checked the rules for the forums and I can't find where it states anything about URLs, if someone would be so kind to show me, I'd appericiate it. Not that it matters witout seeing it on the page but my code for this layer is: Code: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:848px; top:85px; width:118px; height:167px; z-index:1">
<div class="mltop">schedule +4hrs </div>
<p>00:00 - Music <br>
01:00 - Music <br>
02:00 - Music <br>
03:00 - <a href="">BRR</a></p>
<p><b>Current time: 00:00</b><br>
Times in CST/CDT
<br>
</p>
</div>
I have a webpage located at http://www.niu-sae.com I have a drop down menu image, in a div layer that will pop up when you roll over the first link "Active Chapter". First of all the positioning is all weird... when I am at full screen I have to set the div left at 285... even though it is really only about 116. any idea what I am doing wrong? Second even when I get it lined up... the way it is now... it changes if you resize the window. HELP. please. I need to position a 200px high by 300px wide layer in the center of the page. does anyone know a simple way to do this, i have thought about using JS to calculate the width of the page, take off the 200px, and halve it, but that seems like overkill, isnt there a simple CSS command? Thanks Xaphan Hi, I'm trying to set up a side menu, which appears on the right-hand side of the page. Code:
<style type="text/css">
#SideMenu {
color: #639;
background-color: #FBFBFB;
position: absolute;
top: 275px;
left: 630px;
width: 190px;
height: 250px;
}
</style>
However, when the browser window is resized, the layer then obstructs the main content (by floating over it), and does not remain in its place as it should. This is how it should look like:: However, as the browser is resized, the layer does this: I'm tring to remedy this using CSS only, so please send any suggestions to me. The code for the sidebar is: Code: <div id="SideMenu"> <p>Side Content. I like to eat food.</p> </div> Any ideas guys?! Hi all, After being away from the forums for some while I picked up the "webdesign-bug" again (it's raining during my summer holidays) but I'm having some troubles catching up with all new techniques/syntaxes at the moment. I did have a look at some tutorial sites and searched the forum for similar problems but somehow it's a bit overwhelming and I didn't find the solution I'm looking for yet. I do hope I didn't overlook something very basic or ask a frequently asked question (sorry then ) The goal I'm trying to make a (css-based) site with a central column with all 'normal' data. Below this central column I'd like to place some additional layers which are (partly) hidden underneath the main layer and which show themselves if you move with your mouse over the visible parts. The idea behind it is to create some 'desktop' where you have all kinds of things laying on eachother (like additional pieces of paper, some photographs, some money, ...). As an extra feature there would be another layer which makes sure there's a shadow from the 'main column' on the items below it. (Hope this is clear?) What I did so far To achieve this I thought I'd use different layers with different z-indexes and position them over and underneath eachother. So far I have the following code: 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"> <head> <title>Test Layers</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function show( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex += 10; } function hide( obj ) { bla = document.getElementById( obj ); bla.style.zIndex -= 10; } </script> </head> <body> <!-- CONTAINER --> <div id="container"> <h2 class="title">Quick Links</h2> <!-- SUBCONTENT --> <div class="subcontent1" id="subcontent1" onMouseOver="show('subcontent1');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent1');"> Subtext1<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <div class="subcontent2" id="subcontent2" onMouseOver="show('subcontent2');" onMouseOut="hide('subcontent2');"> Subtext2<br/><img src="/images/1pix.gif" width="400px" height="400px" alt=""/> </div> <!-- CONTENT --> <div class="content_shadow"> <div class="content"> <h1 class="title">Site Title</h1> <div class="content_white"> <h2 class="title">Content Title</h2> Maintext1 </div> </div> </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 * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: orange; } h1.title { display: none; } h2.title { display: none; } /******************************************************************** * CONTAINER ********************************************************************/ #container { border: solid 1px black; margin: 0 auto; width: 1000px; z-index: 1; /* background-color: lightgray;*/ /* filter: alpha(opacity=50);*/ } /******************************************************************** * SUB CONTENT ********************************************************************/ /* http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530301.aspx http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/prop_style_clear.asp http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com/css/layout-techniques/ */ #container .subcontent1 { background-color: lime; float: left; position: relative; top: 100px; width: 400px; z-index: 2; /* display: inline;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ /* left: 0px;*/ } #container .subcontent2 { background-color: lime; display: block; float: right; position: relative; top: 200px; width: 400px; z-index: 3; /* display: block;*/ /* height: 200px;*/ } /******************************************************************** * MAIN CONTENT ********************************************************************/ #container .content_shadow { background-color: gray; display: block; margin: 0 auto; opacity: .75; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 850px; z-index: 8; } #container .content { clear: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; z-index: 9; } #container .content_white { background-color: white; display: block; height: 800px; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }

The problem(s) Besides the (css)code probably being sloppy (and redundant at points?!?) since I experimented a lot with adding and removing of position-tags, floating-tags, etc etc.. it still fails to do what I'm aiming for. As can be seen on the attached screenshot most of it seems to be working (at least in FF2) (I had my mouse over the 2nd subcontent-layer btw) but the maintext1 won't start at the left of it's layer but instead starts on a x-coordinate where the 1st subcontent-layer finishes Can somebody point me to what I'm doing wrong? Also, if somebody has a relevant tutorial I'd appreciate it as well since I obviously need some extra exercise with this stuff (working on it already btw but you never know if there's another good one) Thanks for any help and if something isn't clear I'll try to explain it further! I am trying to get the footer DIV to appear directly below the content div on the page. Cant get it to work. CSS and DIV code is below if anyone can offer some advice? Thanks. Code:
#page_footer {
background-color: #ff0000;
width: 729px;
height: 30px;
position:relative;
bottom: 0px;
left: 35px;
font-family: arial, tahoma, times new roman;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #5A5A5A;
}

EDIT: OK, I've worked out all of the issues except the fourth one, which doesn't really have to do with CSS specifically. Why do line breaks insert gaps? The problem is especially prevalent in IE. First issue: I'm trying to position one image over another image and its inserting this big gap! As seen on http://www.zacwittedesign.com/olive/pool.html we have the "about the pool" image position on top of the big image to the left side, but you can see there is a big gap above the big image. If I simply comment out the 'about the pool' image, the gap goes away and all is fine. I thought relatively placed elements were not supposed to affect the flow of elements beneath them? Can you see anything wrong in my code? Second Issue: There are two issues with the layer on the top of the page where the dots should be coming out of 'new projects' (id=projects_layer). It should be positioned over top.jpg as seen in hotstuff.html. In that page I manually moved it down by adding an additional 60px to the relative offset, but the space where it would have occupied remains and pushes the whole page down. Everything should look like it does in portfolio.html which doesn't currently use layers. You can see a version without my manually shifting it down and demonstrating the third issue at pool-valign.html. Third Issue: The vertical-align of all the images inside the projects layer. For the layout to be correct, the images need to be top-aligned or they won't line up with the dots and they'll slightly cover the button images beneath them. I have a style property set vertical-align:top; but it doesn't seem to do anything. Do I misunderstand the vertical-align property? There's also a small gap beneath the images when viewed with IE. I've changed the background color of the layer so you can more easily see the problem. Fourth issue: You've probably noticed in my code that I insert and HTML comment for every line break. That is because if I don't, IE reads the line beaks as non-whitespace and inserts both vertical or horizontal gaps between the images. Whats the deal there? Fifth Issue: In IE there is a one or two pixel gap above right.jpg where the tim olive logo is. This doesn't happen on firefox and it doesn't happen on pages that don't use layers like portfolio.html. ...And I haven't even tried it on a mac browser yet... Hello, I am very new to CSS, having only used stylesheets for basic formatting of text, etc. I have created a site where the layout is based on tables (I know ... when I have spare time, I will start learning CSS for this). I have a main table with 1 row and 1 column, height 95%, width 100%. Within this I have a table with a fixed layout (set height, width) for the table elements. This table is centre and middle aligned. Unfortunately the text provided for one of the cells in the table is exceeding the amount expected and the cell height has increased to accommodate for this. I thought of creating a layer and placing it over the cell and inserting the text here and setting the overflow to scroll. However, depending on screen resolution, browser the layer is not always positioned where I want it. Can I somehow position the layer relative to the table cell ? If not, do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this. I do not have the option to rewrite the site using CSS, due to deadlines. Thanks in advance for your help. Bea 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 Hello I thought I could make it, but what I got so far is jumping over the screen, so please a need some help. I got a image with two transparant shapes. Behind those shapes I would like to show 2 other images. |-------1-------| | |-----| |----| | | |...2..| |..3..| | | |____| |____| | |_____________| Image 1 should be on top z-Index Image 2 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. Image 3 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. Now the issue, image 2 and 3 should be dynamically replaceable. Please help Thanks I have a site that I am working on: test dot choupique dot com The #subpage class is centered in internet explorer 9, but not firefox 5. I can't figure out why for the life of me. Can anyone see why? Thanks I've tried different implementations, but none seem to be working. I have two images crossing over each other using two position: absolute divs. When I click on the one behind using an onClick javascript function, I want that div's z-layer value to change, but none of the sites are helping me. How do I do this? have I got this right....any selector effectively becomes a layer once I add a 'position' and a 'z-index'? Thanks Chris Ok, I have this: Code: #background {
position:relative;
width:600px;
height:480px;
z-index:1;
background-image:"/background.jpg";
border-style:none;
color:#000000;
} <div ID="background">Whatever</div>
But it doesn't work.. why? I hope someone can help me with this, please have a look at a page I have created: http://www.funnestgames.com/header_1.php Now before rolling over any of the links on the left side, notice the text "Rollover game for preview". I have been trying to get that inside the white rectangular outlined box, but the only way I know is if i use css and specify a certain number of pixels from the left side. I can't do this because the website is centered, and resizing the page would change the widths and it all gets messy, i hope you have the idea. I have the same problem if you rollover a link, you can barely read it but it says loading below the text "rollover game for preview" does anyone know a way to solve my problem? please view source on page if you can help me out and see what i did wrong. the divs start at approx line 135 thanks Code: <center> <div style="width:100px; height:100px;background-color:#E0E1E2; border: 1px double #ffffff; font-size:11px; font-weight:700; color:#333333; text-align:center;">Game Preview <div style="position: absolute; top: 300px;">Rollover game for preview</div> <div id="preview" style="width:100px; height:100px;background-color:#E0E1E2; visibility:hidden; z-index:99;"> <img name="preview_img" src="spacer.gif" style="height:100px; width: 100px; visiblility:hidden; " onload="showmehideme()"> <div id="loading" style="font-size:11px; font-weight:700; color:#333333; text-align:center; position: absolute; top: 300px;">Loading...</div> </div> </div> </center> |
