HTML - Div Changes Margin Top When Nested In Another Div
I am having a problem that I can not figure out why this is happening. I have two divs one named content and one named welcome. The welcome div is nested inside the content div. Whenever I change the margin top for the welcome div it also changes the margin top of the content div it is nested in.
How can I keep it where the content div is fixed and doesn't move no matter where I set the margin top for the welcome div? Here is the HTML.... Code: <div id="content">
<div class="welcome">

Here is the CSS... Code: #content {
margin: 5px 0 0 140px;
text-align: center;
width: 630px;
border-left: 1px solid #F4F4F4;
}
.welcome {
margin-top: 25px;
}
Here is the link to the site.... http://development.mesquitechristmas.com/index.html Any ideas or suggestions as why this is happening? -Thanks Similar TutorialsHi, Do you know the answer to this question? (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? It displays with no left margin in my WYSIWYG editor. But, it displays with a 5px left margin in IE and Firefox. Here is the code... <a target="_blank" title="New Covenant Theology" href="/images/stories/book/book_cover_original_size.jpg"> <img style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; left-margin: 0px; right-margin: 5px; title=" alt="New Covenant Theology" src="/images/150x199.jpg" width="150" align="left" height="199" /></a> 24 Reasons Why All Old Testament Laws Are Cancelled and All New Testament Laws Are for Our Obedience.

"top" is inside of "bottom" --> in this scenario, can "middle" div ever be above "bottom" div, but below "top" without being inside of "bottom" div? Code: <div id="bottom" style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:100px; width:200px; height:100px; z-index:1; background-color:#F00;"><h1>bottom</h1> <div id="top" style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:150px; width:200px; height:100px; z-index:3; background-color:#00F;"><h1>top</h1></div> </div> <div id="middle" style="position:absolute; top:150px; left:150px; width:200px; height:100px; z-index:2; background-color:#0F0;"><h1>middle</h1></div> I have the html code: <div style="width: 100%; height:100%; background-color: orange;"><input type="text" style="border-style: solid;border-width: 1px;border-color:black;"/></div> In IE7 the input will start one pixel below the div, in Firefox it displays well. How can I get rid of the 1px in IE7 ? I am currently trying to create some nested lists to display the following... A...R...X B...S...Y C...T...Z (where the letters will eventually be replaced by words) and have made this work perfectly in chrome and firefox, however when I use Internet Explorer I get something resembling the following... A B...R C...S...X .....T...Y ..........Z I assume it's probably to do with the css, but please can someone help me with this problem, the html and css are shown below, thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. I need to find a way of displaying some thumbnail photos in a table cell across a bunch of different tempates. I put a new thumbnail in the group about once a week, but I dont want to edit every template I have. Is is possible to have code in the table cell that say's get thumbnails.htm and put them in this cell That way I can just edit thumbnails.htm and it will show up on all the templatess/pages I'm sure it can be done, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Thanks Leroy Hi, I am using CSS with nested tables. There are two <td> fields in the innermost table, and are having links inside them. When I open the page in IE, and move the mouse over to the first cell, the whole cell becomes active. But the second cell becomes active only if I take the mouse on the text. Why this inconsistency? Can anyone help? Thanks. Please refer attached html and css files Hello, I am new here and hope someone can help. I am creating a page where I need to have several nested lists. The 'numbering' is showing up correctly but the 'nested' lists are not indented. Can anyone take a look at the page and my source code and see if you can help me figure out what is wrong? go to http://www.prewrath.com/index2.html Thank you! bzig 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. 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 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. 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 Hello, Can anybody help me out? I have a nested table as such: =========================================== <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1"> <tr> <td>Joe <table> <tr> <td>A </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> =========================================== How can I get "Joe" and "A" on the same line without changing the table structure? (Can't change structure cuz this is how my server side code spits it out. But I can add styles and attributes.) I've tried all manner of floating, margins, padding, aligning, hspacing, vspacing, and nothing seems to work. Thanks for any help. I have various div's inside a wrapper div (#wrapper). I have set the width of wrapper div to 900px and one of the inside div (#content) to 650px. but the inner div is not getting shrinked to 650px.

I feel really stupid now, I can't figure out how to start a new thread. Please someone help me figure out what is wrong with my nested frames: <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <frameset rows="99%"> <frame src=""/> <frameset cols="20%,80%"> <frame src=""/> <frame src=""/> </frameset> </frameset> </html> They work individually but not collectively. Thanks in advance! hi everybody, i have a problem displaying an html page that contains nested tables, all in a div. now the testing page that i present is a simple html, which works just fine in FF, chrome, safari and opera. sadly, it doesnt in IE7 (didnt test other IE versions). the goal is to make the scroll of the div reflect the width of the tables. i dont know what is causing this, maybe there's something missing in my code, or just an IE bug, perhaps... Anyway, i appreciate you reading this and thanks for your help, if any. I am using nested frames on my default page which for the majority of needs works out fine, but I am trying to link to another page I wrote and I don;t know how to to set it so it takes over the entire page and not just in the lower right hand frame. How can I go about doing this? 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 am trying to get three colums of work, picture on the left, text middle, pictures on the right. should I be working with nested tables? attached a pix to show what I mean, Hi I have a main div called wrapper - it holds the main content of my site. It has a thin border around it. In Firefox, it just appears as a thick horizontal line, and it's contents appear underneath it. I have checked the nestings, and they all seem right - in other words, this DIV definitely contains content, and it shows in IE, just not Firefox. If I type text next to <div id="wrapper">, it appears in the wrapper div, and pushes the rest of the content down the page. I don't get it. The code says the content is in the div, but it's not. HELP!!! Cheers Shaun Here's my problem... I'm using two blockquote tags to style my BBCode quote tags for my site. However, whenever I post something that's longer than, say, a line in a quote tag, it moves the sidebar div down below the main div. Only in IE though. Typical. http://automata.firephoenixnet.com/test.html I tried using divs instead - didn't work. I even tried using spans - but they didn't work the way I wanted them to. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance guys. |
