HTML - Margin/padding Question
Hi,
I am extremely new to HTML so please bear with me. Basically I downloaded a template for blogger. I am having a problem with the location of a picture. I want to move it up, so it is even with the other side but there is a big space on top of it. I believe that deals with either padding or margins? This is the HTML code that I am trying to figure out. Any help would be appreciated. If I have forgotten anything please let me know, because I can't think of anything else to add. <div style='clear:both;'/> <div id='right-content'> <!-- main image --> <div id='main-img'><img alt='' src='http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j67/jennjohnny/Soccer-Mom-1-1.jpg'/></div> <div style='margin-left:25px; margin-right:60px;'> </div></div> I use Firefox 3.6.15 and Vista. Below is my url, so you can see what I mean. http://jennileighsjournal.blogspot.com/ Similar TutorialsHello! I hope you can help. This code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <style type="text/css"> .container {display: table; border-collapse: collapse} .row {display: table-row} .cell {border: 3px solid red} .map{width:480; border:4px solid #C63; margin:0} </style> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="GA.css"/> </HEAD> <BODY> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="cell"><IMG class="map"SRC="mapA.jpg"alt='PAP'></div> <div class="cell"><IMG class="map"SRC="mapB.jpg"alt='Pacot'></div> </div></div> </BODY></HTML> gives the expected red outer borders and brown inner borders. But... what is the blue (empty) space between them? I made this in my CSS-file: li { margin: 0em 0em 0em 4em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-size: 9pt; } (This is for an element in a list) Then I made this: h3 { margin: 0; padding: 5px 0px 10px 0px; font-size: 10pt; } Now IE7 refuses to understand that I want to put the h3 margin to zero. It keeps using the li margin even though I programmed it like that. How is this possible? Everything works fine in Firefox with this code. So I have a simple question about margins, say I have this code: HTML Code: <div id="content"> <div id="content_item"> </div> <div id="content_item"> </div> </div> with this css: Code: #content{
width: 770px;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#content_item{
margin: 50px 35px 50px 35px;
width: 700px;
height: 250px;
}
now my first content Item, instead of stretching the content div up the margin, pushes the header div on top of the content div up the amount of the top margin starting from the top of the content div, leaving a large empty space. Is there some way to make that work without using padding? edit-- Ok so I've set the top padding of the content div to 30px and got rid of the margin, that gives me a nice buffer between my header on top of the content div, namely the content_item div's margin pushes the padding up now. This is giving me the effect I wanted, if anyone would still like to help me I would like to know if this is on the right track code wise. Good code, bad code, I'm still a little html green. new css: #content{ padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px; width: 770px; height: 100%; background-color: green; } Hi all, I was trying some real simple HTML code, but I couldnt get my "firstTag" to start at the top of the page i.e. top: 0px and left 0px. If I try to make the position absolute the entire alignment of the sub table changes. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

Hey guys I'm designing a website for my business and I have a quick question, i know i'm overlooking something so hopefully you can tell me what it is! Ok- underneath my header div is a div called neck. Between the header div and the neck div there is space.. I don't want any space between these two. There are no margins i have put in, so i am confused.

(I wasted a lot of time trying figure out this problem, before finally giving up.) How do I get the book cover image to display with no left margin, while preserving the 5px right margin?

I think the new IE ver8+ have padding, but i don't think IE ver6-7 have it. I did not realize it becuase i would always expect my clients to update thier browsers. I also see that there are still a HUGE percentage of people across the world that is still using IE 6. One trick that i use is to create two div for example: HTML Code: <div>
<div style="margin: 10px;">
content
</div>
</div>
this mocks a padding type hope anyone finds this useful Hey guys, I want a kind of horizontal border down the side of my comment div, and padding that pushes it away from it.

I run a forum with a small progress bar under the user's avatar showing how far until the user achieves the next rank. The progress bar is simply an image resized based on the % of current posts to posts needed for the next rank. The styling of the progress bar is done entirely inline. <dd style="padding-left:5px; padding-top:2px;"> <div style="text-align:left; display:block; height:3px; width:80px; border:1px solid #DACDA5;"> <div style="height:3px; width:{postrow.RANK_LEVEL_SIZE}px; background: url('images/progress.jpg') no-repeat;"></div> </div> </dd> In Firefox and later versions of IE, the progress bar renders perfectly: In IE6 however, the bar is oversized and the padding is clearly off: Any suggestions on how I might correct the padding for IE6 would be greatly appreciated. I was going to create a seperate set of code showing the progress bar bracketed by <!--[If IE]> <![endif]-->. Website is Here Ok, so I'm trying to get the text near the picture with the old guy with the roses padded a little. I tried adding "padding: 2px;" to the css but that doesnt work...Can someone look at my css and figure it out? Im stuck! -Thanks I have a historical website that I'm going to rebuild. There are a lot of dates and unfamiliar terms. There are a lot of places where the text will say something like, "on the 9th so-and-so did such-and-such..." Using float:right, I have a little box that says "Jun 9, 1788." (I would like to do the same thing on the left with short definitions) I would like to scoot that little box over into the margin. I tried position:relative; left:90px, and that moved it over into the margin, but it still wrapped the text around the blank space it left. My thinking is that they'll be less distracting for people who don't care about the exact date or what the meaning of breaming is. Hello, what is the coding for affecting the margins in HTML? Also, how can I change the color of the margins? (To make it different than the background) Edit: For example, I like the way gamespot.com is set up whereas there is a permanent left and right margin. When you adjust the size of the window from right to left, the whole webpage doesn't get smaller or word wrap, it just shrinks the margins. If that is actually something different, please explain. Thank you. I'm having problems getting my site to render correctly in internet explorer 7. It seems to ignore the margin-top, I want a gap at the top of the page. Also the absolute bar along the top seems to get moved to the right. This is my site: http://suffolkcottage.x10.bz/ Here is the css for the container on the page, where most of the content is inside. #container { width:900px; margin: 30px auto 0px auto!important; margin: 30px auto 0px auto; background-color:#FFFFFF; background:#ffffff url('grad.png') repeat-x bottom; border:1px solid #e8e8e8; z-index:100; } Any help would be appreciated Hi, Someone developed an html newsletter for one of my clients, but when I uploaded it to the website, the right margin gets cut off. This is the link: http://www.eastpointehealthandfitnes...r-2010/?&t=449 How can I fix that? I don't really know much HTML, so I'll appreciate very specific feedback on what I need to change. Any help will be much appreciated! Regards, Reem Maybe it's not padding or whatever, but i'm having an issue with my assignment (given the very sketch instructions we get) and I simply can't figure this one out it's making me crazy -.- Look closely at the box with the paragraph, and the logo. Between them is a space of the original background color. I can't seem to figure out why that space is there and how to close the gap. Any ideas? here's the CSS code for the div class/id's around the main content(paragraph and photo) Code: #content { padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
margin-left: 150px;
background-color: #F1E8B0;
color: #000000;
padding: 10px 20px;
overflow: auto;
}
#container {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 80%;
background-color: #E8D882;
text-color: #000000;
border: 2px double #000000;
min-width: 700px;
}
And here is my xhtml code. HTML Code: <body> <div id="container"> <h1 id="logo"><img src="javalogo.gif" alt="Java Logo" height="117" width="619" /></h1> <div id="nav"><a href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="menu.html">Menu</a> <a href="music.html">Music</a> <a href="jobs.html">Jobs</a></div><br/> <div id="content"> <img src="windingroad.jpg" height="156" width="333" class="floatright" alt="Winding Groad Photo" /> <p>Following the winding road to JavaJam...</p> <ul> <li>Specialty Coffee and Tea</li> <li>Bagels, Muffins, and Organic Snacks</li> <li>Music and Poetry Readings</li> <li>Open Mic Night</li> </ul> <p>12312 Main Street<br/>Mountain Home, CA 93923<br/>1-888-555-5555</p></div> <div id="footer">Copyright © 2011 JavaJam Coffee House<br/><a href="mailto:whatever">SomeSite</a></div> </div> </body> Thanks a lot in advance. |
