HTML - Best Practice To Position This
Hi,
As a newbie html can be a little overwhelming just because of the many different ways a task can be achieved. I'm looking for some advice on the best method to achieve something like this: I have 7 pieces of information about a site user, they are; Avatar 60 x 60px ScreenName DateJoined UserAttribute1 UserAttribute2 UserAttribute3 UserAttribute4 All bar the avatar are text. I would like the outcome to display something like this: Avatar ScreenName DateJoined UserAttribute1 UserAtteribute2 UserAttribute3 UserAttribute4 I'm unsure as to whether to put the avatar and text in 2 divs(left and right), and whether to use spans or lists for the text. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsHowdy all, I have three scrolling divs that i want to be the height of the page, so i'm guessing position:absolute and height:100% will do that just fine. But i want these three scolling divs to be inside a position:fixed element so that they stay put when scrolling down the page. Is this possible? I dont think a pos:absolute will work nested inside a pos:fixed. How could i work around it? thanks!

Thanks, A.C. in html, aside from using a table with 1 row and 2 cells..... what is the best way of designing a page where we have a menu system/navbar on the left, and the main content on the right of it? Hi, I've heard it said that using nested Divs is bad practice. Does anyone agree with this? And if so, why? ...just wondering. HH I need to make my site suitable for mobile browsers (small resolution, etc.) and looked at this page which gives tips on how to do it. It seems like a nightmare! I think it would be much simpler just to create a special version of the site and redirect people to it when they go to the main page. Is redirecting considered a bad idea? And if so, why? Hello Reader, I am very new at html (so please no CSS) and this is what Im trying to do 1) Have my logo on the far right and the page 2) Put the website name in the centre of the page Ive done a wrap (I think and it seems to be working) the problem is: the website name is not going in the centre of the whole page but the centre of the page from where the logo ends (on the right of the page). So if you look at the company name its not in the centre of the page but in the centre of the page from where the logo ends. I have decided to work with that as it will actually look good with what I want to do - My question is this: If I did want to centre the company name to the middle of the page could I use   (loads of them!) to position it exactly where I wanted on the page and is that good practice? And if not what can I use in its stead?? Any advice will be very much appreciated!!!! Hi all.

In IE7, 6, and 5 and only in IE7, 6, and 5 my flash navigation menu jumps around a little bit from page to page (no more than half of an inch or so per page, minor, but irritating). Probably an easy fix, but how? Do I need to wrap in a div first or should I just apply the rule to the td with an ID? And, should I use absolute positioning, relative, or neither? And I know I know navigation menu not good - I am working on text links for the bottom.

Much thanks! http://www.buildingblockshomedaycare.com/parents.html I am having a real problem with keeping the text located at the top of the page right below the navigation. for some reason the text and photos just drop down the page in IE. No problem in Safari though. This seems to only be happening with images on the page. http://www.musicbridgesinternational.com please help I have no idea what the problem is here. thank you! |
