HTML - Layout Issues: Relative Positioning
Hi all,
Help on this would clear up this headache. I am using relative position to put this flash component flush with the right side of the layout. However, in different screen resolutions it still moves. Why is this? for ref: www.burnthisforyourfriends.com Here's the code: <html> <head> <title>Burn This for Your Friends, show dates, music, media, downloads and store</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#000000"> <center><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/3791/burnthisheader.jpg" /> <br /><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/index.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="Home" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/releases.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="releases" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/artists.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="artists" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/studio.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="studio" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/gallery.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="gallery" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/bookinginfo.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="bookinginfo" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/press.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="press" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/store.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="store" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.burnthisforyourfriends.com/contactus.html"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/686/mainnavigationplacehold.jpg" alt="contactus" border="0" /></a> <br /><img src="http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9773/flashplaceholderred.png" /><img src="http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8006/flashplaceholdergreen.png" /><img src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/4820/flashplaceholderyellow.png" /> </center> <div style="position: relative; top: 20px; left: 659px;"> <p> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- Similar TutorialsNever mind you guys were wrong as usual.

The background image is mySchedule_bg.jpg and it needs to hold both of the containers. Anyone have some insight as I am getting tired playing a guessing game with this code. All of this relative positioning is throwing me for a loop, especially in IE and Safari. Thanks. I have designed my site with Divs nesting and divs floating left and right to get a strict layout. It is flawless in firefox / safari but when I open it in IE it seems that some borders are enlarged or something because objects are obviously sent to the next line because their width exceeded that of the parent div. http://www.nativboardriding.com/media.htm check out how the video and div box won't fit on the same page in IE but work fine in the other browsers. How can i prevent this? I have a problem with my home page. It is sitting closer to the left side than my other pages and I cannot figure out why! You can see it at http://www.photo-bliss.net/beta username is trial password is demo If you switch between the home page and the other pages, you can see it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks what have i done wrong?! http://maysonline.sandlerltd.co.uk if you go to "advice & guidance" menu or any other menu except the home page, basically most of the pages seem to be very odd in IE7 but in IE8 - its fine! any ideas?! What am I missing? Hello, I've been having trouble laying out my website. I'm quite new to HTML, so if you could give me the simplest answer possible it would be appreciated. As of right now I have an image aligned to the top of my page, and two side by side tables underneath it. However, although the tables are aligned the way I want them in Mozilla Firefox (the tables being directly under the image), when I display my site in Internet Explorer the tables are beside the image. I found that I could insert page breaks until the image fit where I wanted it in Internet Explorer, then, however, the tables were further away from the image in Mozilla firefox. If anyone could tell me how to fix this problem it would be most appreciated. Cheers, Dancing Pancake Recently made a post concerning tables versus divs, and now I have a site where I think I need to do divs, but not sure how to approach using percentages for the sizing. http://www.pigseldesign.com/cravings.jpg This is the layout. Ideally, I'd like for the middle strip to be vertically centered no matter the browser window height. My guess is to have 3 divs (top, middle, bottom) with 100% and if possible, set the percentages for height so that the top and bottom remain the same ratio of size. If it affects anything, the middle strip is going to be a slideshow Flash object. Any hints for sizing? Morning everyone. I am having a problem with getting a table containing flash files and images to align correctly in IE. The site looks fine in Chrome and FF but in IE there is a slight space between the two columns of flash buttons on the left-hand side and the image on the upper-right. This happens in IE 7 and the 8 beta. The site is: http://www.kidsnightonbroadway.com Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Andy This may be to big of an ask, but I am trying to make it so my website layout is positioned in the middle of the browser no matter how big the screen resolution is. For example, this is the page on my computer, here And my friends, here. So as you can see, on my pc it looks fine, yet on my friends the layout is all pushed up to the top, and this looks rather silly. If you could throw some tutorials or something my way id appreciate it. website: http://www.breakdowninc.987mb.com So I just decided to redesign my website, and I learned the wonders of "position: absolute" and the left, right, top, and bottom CSS tags. But of course, with that comes some issues (and other things, like me having to think about people with different browsers/resolution settings than me). Some of my problems are as follows (captions of the problem are under the images) When the text overflows here, it just leaves the <div> tag... well... multiple <div> tags. This one takes the body <div> with it.. but doesn't let the bottom page image extend down. Top filler image doesn't extend all the way, body <div> doesn't connect properly to fade images. So as you can see, my big problem is the overflow, which really needs to be fixed. Don't know what the problem is with Opera there, but it's something else that should be checked out. So anyway, here's my code for the website. If you have any ideas for how to improve it/make it work better, then I'm happy with that. Don't worry about validation right now, though. I'm saving that for later. HTML Code: <html>

http://recwar.exofire.net/ i know the code is horrible, i used a mix of MS word, frontpage, and dreamweaver, so please dont bite my head off on that, this post is simply about a crossbrowser layout issue. I was able to position everything the right way in dreamweaver. I got a few screenshots from http://browsershots.org/ and its showing completely messed up in ie6, and slightly wonky in ie7 & ie8. the main problem is the text/image in the middle is somehow ending up in the bottom right corner of the page in IE. Also ie6 doesnt seem to like the transparent background on my title/banner/logo. Can anyone figure out a way to at least get the text box in the right spot for IE? Hello all! This is my first website, and of all the languages I've had to start learning to produce it, HTML is by far the most infuriating. My site is www.B3-Office.com and the issue is the layout. It is completely wrong on every page. If you look in the source it should show that my top nav bar is set to be only 94 px in width per cell (10 cells), slightly larger than some of the text therein. The "Contact" text is supposed to be far left. Then the rest of the site, the pages are just all messed up in formatting, looking nothing like it does in my WYSISWYG program (DreamWeaver CS4). I have 4 pages in this format: home, contact, aboutus, and privacy. None of which are working properly. HELP! What am I missing? I would also appreciate your feedback on my work. Thanks so much!!! Hello, I made a very simple table layout (with photoshop and imageready) and its my very first time making this type of layout so I'm having a little trouble with the coding. I haven't added a style.css file to it, except for maybe the css that wraps my navigation to a certain width. Here is the url: http://rezina.awardspace.com/layout01 I can't seem to align the images correctly. My friend told me that one of the images was not sliced correctly, so I sliced it but .. it kind of fixed the right side, and not the left. Also, the extra.jpg (which is the outside background-the stripes) seems to repeat itself both vertically and horizontally, is there a way to fix that? Thanks. =)) oh. oops. I just read the rules, sorry for the vague title. I would try changing it to be more specific but I don't know how.. I am coding in PHP, but I don't think that should have anything to do with it. My problem appears to have to do with the HTML. I am using a 15x15 jpg as a submit button, but I have many of them in a table one per cell with no borders or spacing, so there are many of these submit buttons right next to each other in a grid. The problem is that though the cells are set to be 15x15, the page is displaying them in cells that are 15x27 with the jpg aligned to the top, though the source code does not reflect the 27 figure. I have set the width and height attribute on every cell and image. Is there something I should be looking for to ensure all of my code places the images in the right size and placement? There is no CSS in play with this part of the site. Thanks! Hey all, I'm new here, and I love the layout of this website! I like the bright colors! Anyway... I created a website layout/site in Photoshop CS 5. The website: www.thegarbagedump.net I saved it as a html & images.. The issue I am having is when you click one of the bottons I want it to open the html document and display it within that square area with the border around it. I know I probably need a frame to do this, however I dont know how to add a frame, and it appears photoshop saved it in tables.. Could you please review the html source, and tell me how/where to add a frame, and make the Home, About, Domains button appear within that square area with the border? Thank You, Justin Hi All, I'm a beginner to all this HTML coding and have designed a page. Each problem I've encountered I've been able to search the web for and then paste and amend HTML code. My problem is I am adding an image to create a curve in a table but for some reason the right side of the table is indented by a pixel or two. I've tried changing margins etc but nothing works I've wasted hours trying to resolve this and come here as a last resort. See table titled company at link below http://one.fsphost.com/darrenguy/ Please help! Hello All, I have a problem with div position in my html page. I need two divs position=relative aligned with a single div. Basically I have a header panel, content panel (have two vertical column height changed dynamically) and a footer panel. So Content panel vertical column needs to align with header panel. I need all div tags position relative, so when every div increases in height bottom div sifted down automatically. I have this http://www.arunverma.info/webmaster_help/ Can sombody help me to short it out. Thanks in advance Sunil Hi. I like to include an image in my html file. The file itself is located at: C:\Documents and Settings\Pourang\Desktop The image is located at: C:\Documents and Settings\Pourang\Desktop\VIDEO_TS According to Head First With HTML book: This is the path I must include in my <img> empty element: <img src=" VIDEO_TS/the name of image file " OR: /VIDEO_TS/the name of image file " Right? relative paths or something else it's called. But I can't get it right? it's a broken link, no image is uploaded. Can you help me with this? thank you. Hi to all. I'm trying to achieve a pure relative html layout by implementing only percentage values (without any pixel position or dimension). This way i want to get an html page which would appear the same in all of resolutions and browsers. I attached a simple html page, written in this relative manner. However, i have 2 issues with it: 1) some empty space on the right of the html body in FF. 2) disarranged look in IE (small image lifted up, and empty space below the page body). Is there a hack for IE to render this page properly, and a way to force FF to not display mentioned empty space? (Also, but less important, there is a minor (height) position difference of the small image /bacardi.gif/ viewed in 1024x768 & 800x600, and likely in higher resolutions too, but my graph.card cannot display it.) Many thanks in advance |
