HTML - Page Elements Not Expanding To Fit Contained Elements
How do I make element's change their height automatically depending on whether they have anything contained within them?
My page background is a div's bg image but the div hasn't expanded to the size of the contained elements. The div's name is nicola-bg Here is the site I have the same problem too with #image-section. That div is styled to have large borders but the borders don't extend to the height of the div's containing elements. Similar TutorialsI have a form where a select list can be updated by clicking 'update' next to it. When this is clicked I would ideally like just that to be updated, but I do not think this is possible. I was thinking of having two form actions, one that submits the form as usuall, but one that submits the form somewhere else, depending on which submit button is clicked. If I could have two submit buttons, I could use one to submit the form back to the same script, with the script re-filling the form elements that where filled out, and the select box would then update. So, my main question is...... Is there a javascript submit function that can change the destination of the form? Perhaps this should be in the javascript section! I need to go to the experts here , what I need to do is the following. I have an Adobe Edge animation, I need to take that animation along with a JQuery dropdown menu and put both on one html page. I have basic html knowledge to the point where the edge animation is saved as an html page ( edge automatically does this which includes all the Javascript files separately) So far I'm able to take the edge <div> and ad it to any html page as long as I copy the scripts to the head of that page. The trouble I'm having is adding the JQuery dropdown. It would be impossible for anyone reading this to know EXACTLY wht I mean without seeing the code, I do not want to add abunch of it or add a link to the files until someone replies and can actually look. any help? RD I am new to web development and am using a combination of Dreamweaver CS3 and code. I feel pretty comfortable with the code now but am having some problems getting a grasp on how to position things the way I want. I decided to design my site to display well on an 800x600 monitor, so I made the container div 780px wide, and I have created divs inside of that. For the most part I set the box width to 100% for the divs and don't mess with positioning. I have one div that I want to put bulleted lists in, but I want the bullet items to be layed out so that there are 4 items high x 3 wide. In other words, I want to divide the width of the page (780) into 3 sections and each one would have 4 bullets - item 1 - item 5 - item 9 - item 2 - item 6 - item 10 - item 3 - item 7 - item 11 - item 4 - item 8 - item 12 Pretend that these are evenly spaced and centered on the page. I used 3 divs, making each 260px wide on the page, and then put an unordered list inside of each div. I found that I could not make the divs sit side by side unless I also set float left for the CSS style. However, when I did that, the upper border of the div below these which was a 760px wide div with a table in it jumped up above them. I fixed it by setting that div to float left also. OK so I got it to look right, but I don't understand what I'm doing here. Is there a better way to do this, or can someone clear up why this worked? Thanks, Jeff So, still rather new to writing HTML. I'm looking to put either a text field or drop down box onto the page dependent on a previously defined variable. How do I go about doing that? Greetings, Thanks in advance for any help. Basically, I'm new to HTML, I've made a site with an external CSS file, its all good, except that all the elements stay to the left. The browser background is grey, the actual page background is white (its an image, however, not just the colour). The page adjusts when I resize the IE window, but nothing else does, they just stay there. I've tried absolute positioning, relative, and so on, but nothing seems to fix it. How do I get the elements to move? I've attached the CSS and index file (named portfolio) for reference. I apologise in advance for my general noobiness. I hope the poorly written attachments don't hinder the helping process. Thank you, Panda. I'm trying to understand the need for <div> elements, couldnt we do the same things with a <p> element. I understand the <span> element because it allows you to have box models for inline elements. Is <div> mostly to keep things organized and easy to read? Hi, I have a form with html combo and input elements in a dialog with scrollbar. Problem I am facing is some of combo elements which are disabled disappear. When I scroll the disabled elements appear again. This happens only on IE. Works fine on firefox. Is there any issue with disabled elements as such. Thanks Is there a way that anyone knows of to put list items side by side in a row? I'm currently working with some html/css/jquery that allows you to move li elements around and order them. However, instead of being on a new line for each element, I'd like to put several side by side in a row. Is there any way with html/css to make this happen, or is there no way to change the "nature" of li elements? This is my first project using CSS and anything other than basic HTML and it's been going good so far. The page I'm designing is for my new guild on World of Warcraft (yes I'm addicted) and my problem is with the Content DIV i created. The site is http://twilightsdawn.50webs.com/index.html In the code, I nested DIV elements containing the actual news posts themselves within the actual Content DIV, and by not specifying a height I had hoped the element would resize and simply tack on extra DIVS below one another. This seems to be the case with Banner and Content Text DIVs but the second set simply overwrite the previous and all my attempts to force the second "news post" below the first have failed or resulted in bizarre alignments. I am at a loss and would appreciate any design suggestions and/or feedback on the code. Thanks Hello everyone, I have a problem and it is driving me insane :/. I am trying to create 3 inline boxes (using span or div?) that are right next to one another (ie. with no borders). The two at either side are of length 25% and the middle is of length 50%.

But unfortunately, this produces ... something I dont want .. as shown by the attachment. This clearly has inexplicable white borders that I have not coded :S, and the three blocks are not inline. Can anyone give a simple explanation as to how to put these in line and eliminate the border between them? Thanks in advance, mintsmike Please help me, I'm trying to hide elements (boxes) is HTML in this way: <?php if($_POST) { //left.style.visibility="hidden" document.getElementById(left).style.display = 'none'; } ?> By checking if a form had been submitted...But when displaying the page all elements on the page is hidden not the element "left" only..Why? Thanks is advance. I am using ASP.NET however my front end design skills arent that great. what I was wondering was, since I am using a repeater or a datalist control, I want each element to have a nice design. the site is like a products site (retail type website). I mean, the styling for each element is something I im unsure how to design, any suggestions or tips on how each element should be designed/layed out? product detail: qty, product name, image, smalldescription. styling/designing/theme doesnt matter, you can include that. just a rough guide would be nice in terms of how the layout for a product should be design, like where each piece of information should be layed out. thanks. thanks. Hello everyone, Hopefully this is simple: I have 2 definitions - and I don't understand what they are trying to say exactly. Definition 1: Logical Element: An element that describes the nature of the enclosed content (but not necessarily how that content should appear in the browser) Definition 2: Physical Element: An element that describes how content should appear, but doesn't indicate the nature of the content What is meant by "the nature of the enclosed content" ... and could someone please break these down for the beginner? Thank you. Sorry, i answered my own question. thanks for looking anyways Trying to modify a template.. http://www.varaxon.com/ On the right, below the login box are 3 seperate boxes - I've been trying to make these completely clickable - I just can't seem to figure it out. I tried doing unordered lists, etc. Color me stupid - I'm just a lowly PHP Developer with minimal design/html coding experience. -G I created a form with html. At the end of the form there are two buttons, the button "entry", and the button "reset". When clicking on "entry" button i want to print the form's elements. How can i do it? Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain block and inline elements. I know they deal with word wrap but, I have read and I am still confused on how you know what is a block element and what is an inline element. Can someone provide some aid? Thanks. I am currently creating some code containing a horizontal rule, some headers and a link that takes the user back to the top of the page. The page should look something like this... ------------------------------------------------------- HEADER ------------------------------------------------------- back to top HEADER How can I make it so that the header is the same distance from the horizontal rule regardless of whether the back to top link is present? At the moment whenever the 'back to top' link is present the header below is pushed down. Here is my code so far... Code:
<style type="text/css">
a{
margin-left:700px;
}
h2{
margin-top:20px;
}
</style>
<hr>
<h2>HEADER</h2>
<p>Paragraph here</p>
<hr>
<a href="#top">back to top</a>
<h2>HEADER</h2>
<p>Paragraph here</p>
Hi everyone I've developed a website and now when it got ready someone discovered that the sidebar isn't floating correctly in his mozilla firefox. It works fine in my firefox and IE and in his IE, but not in his FF. So I have a screenie how it looks like when it's wrong and when it's right: Right: Wrong: The source is at www.latvala.com Please help me Hello everyone, I'm new here. I hope someone will help me with my problem. You can see it he http://kahoe.monline.dk/portfolie2/index.php EDIT: Problem 1 solved. Problem 1 is in the grey menu to the right. I've used php include_once to insert four div elements (with images and a little text), but they position themselves in a strange way. It's supposed to be a collumn. You can see the html file with the four elements he http://kahoe.monline.dk/portfolie2/globalmenu.html I should probably say that I've used javascript to make a hover effect with the images. (Do I need to include code in this post, or do you guys usually view CSS and HTML in the browser?) Problem 2 is with IE. I have IE 8 installed, so I don't know about other versions, but this one can't find the images on my website. It works fine in Firefox. What's wrong? Problem 3 is with the div element at the top of the page, the one which contains the text "Denne hjemmeside ses bedst med Firefox. Download Firefox her. " I can't get it to sit at the very top of the page. I've used body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } in the stylesheet already, but it's not enough apparently... |
