Anyway it looks good on my 1024 x 768 monitor, some of my friends have widescreen and say they is a huge gap to the right.. so how can i center width only an image of 900 x 792 and then in the exact postion of the centered image place the flash, and then add some text on top of the flash once again centered on top of the flash... this if it can be done will leave a even gap to the left and right if on widescreen and be virtually full screen on a normal 1024 x 768 monitor. I tried absolute Code: <center><div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; "> the image </div></center> <center><div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; "> the flash </div></center> <center><div style="position: absolute; top: 100px; "> the text </div></center the image and flash and text had the right html to show, just used the above code to show what i tried... anyway it did not work right for some reason, im sure im going down the wrong path and they is a much better way to do this... Can anyone help me Thanks Hi. I can't figure out how to have all the tables on my site aligned to the centre yet have the text in them aligned to the left. In other words I want 2 margins either side of the central body of my site. How can I do this? Thanks. Hi all, Im afraid im getting a little frustrated. My fault.. Im new here but need your help. I run a forum, phpbb3 based but the style im currently using is very much HTML based. I am looking to have a left hand column within my forum but really dont know how to do it, well to add to what i already have. I think for you to know what style docs i have you would have to have a look yourself or look at my existing source code.. http://www.pricelessparrots.com/phpbb3/ Ok i have the new style ' VistaX '. This link will take you to the original download: It can be found he It seems this style is mostly created using HTML. Could someone please tell me how to add a left hand column to the page. I would like it to be on the left hand side all the way down after the header. I thought i would have a go at it but becoming increasingly frustrated with it. such a simple thing but i cannot get it. Do i float it, using css or what? I thought about using a seperate page to create the table and then include it into the doc but this doesnt work either. Plz help.. Paul Hey, I have a sample page he www.darkdayssoftware.com/indexotheridea.html How do I make space for and create a column down the left and right (e.g. a space for adverts) and ensure that when I resize the web paste, the main column in the middle doesn't overlap the column to the left, and similarly the column on the right doesn't overlap the column in the middle? Thanks I've attached the code for a template I'm wanting to use. I want to add a column to the left side of the page that runs the length of the page. Is there anyone out there who can assist me with the code to do that. I'd be exceedingly grateful. I'm afraid I'm table dyslexic. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I have a left menu column but it's not stretching down the length of the page. The page is quite long and when the links are finished on left column it just ends and as it has abackground colour it looks a little strange. It is floated left and the main_section is also floated left. It is the main section div that is long. I was thinking because this is in a div that the left coumn is also in that the left column would therefore stretch to the length of it's parent div. Any ideas? http://absolute-websites.com/services.html is the link so you can see what I'm talking about. Here is a section of the HTML : HTML Code: <div class="left_column"> <div class="breadcrumb"><p><a href="index.html">home ></a>services</p></div> <div class="icons"><p><a href="services.html#websiteProduction"><img src="images/webIcon-01.png" title="web building" alt="web building icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"><p><a href="services.html#hosting"><img src="images/hostingImgIcon-01.png" title="Hosting & Domain Names" alt="Hosting & Domain Names icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"> <p><a href="services.html#seo" ><img src="images/seo2Icon-01.png" title="Search Engine Optimisation" alt="Search Engine Optimisation icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"> <p ><a href="services.html#marketing"><img src="images/advertsIcon-01.png" title="Marketing" alt="marketing icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"><p ><a href="services.html#design" ><img src="images/designImgIcon-01.png" title="Design" alt="Design icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"> <p ><a href="services.html#photo" ><img src="images/photoIcon-01.png" title="Photoditing" alt="Photoediting icon"/></a></p></div> <div class="icons"> <p><a href="services.html#video" ><img src="images/videoIcon-01.png" title="Video Production" alt="Video Production icon"/></a></p></div> </div> <div id="main_content" class="fl"> <h1 class="h1SecHead" >>SERVICES</h1> This could be an HTML or CSS problem, but I can't figure out what's causing this and it's driving me nuts! The left column on my website will not stay a fixed width of 175px in IE 8. That seems to be the only browser having a problem. Here's the link: http://www.jrsart.net/testarea/paull...cientists.html I've linked the page that has it the worst, but if you visit the other pages and keep an eye on the left column's border, you'll see it keeps moving. Please help! I'm rapidly running out of time to fix this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Hello, I need to create a 3 -column lay out with the left and right columns having 200px each and the middle column take the rest. Here is my html markup: HTML Code: <div style="width: 100%"> <div style="width: 200px; float:left;">Left column</div> <div style="width: 100%; float:left;">Middle Column</div> <div style="width: 200px; float:left;">Right Column</div> </div> It's not working for me . Please help. Good day, I am brand new here in this forum. So many knowledgeable folks here. I am relatively new to web design. I typically use templates and themes and tweak them. I can navigate a CSS doc and html to make changes, etc. However, I have a client who has an existing site that she wants to keep the aesthetic of and so I am using what the previous designer left. It is a simple html page with tables. Simple enough. Very elegant visually. No need to SEO really so it works. She has asked if we can make the left column of a two column table scroll independently. The page content is about over 6000px. The scroll column will contain a page outline and other text that will include internal targeted links. This is outside my skill set, but I want to learn. Have searched the net and found some suggestions but want it to be clean and ended up here. There is no style sheet other than the ie6 sheet. Page is he http://www.themedeaproject.com/proposaltestpage.html no graphics are loaded. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or have any suggestions? Thanks! BlueEyedMonkey aka Tatyanna I see the use of the <ul> and <li> tags when creating things like menus and in the case of digg and gamegrep at the least, comments. I can see a possible use with comments for indentatiing replies to other comments. The question still stands for things like menus though, does it have to do with search engine crawlers and how they parse the page? Any insight by anyone who knows anything about this would be nice. Thanks Hi: Enviro: IE 7 (for now) My list items (i.e., <li>) are too close together, *but* if I put a line-break at the end of each item, they are too far apart. I tried using CSS with a margin setting to get some separation but that didn't work either. So, how does one get some afjustable separation between list items please ? Thanks, -Mel Smith Hi to you all, I am trying to write script to search an xml form and return any of the correct responses. The form is here http://bubbleweb.eu/Rentals/search.html and it is using: http://bubbleweb.eu/Rentals/index.xml http://bubbleweb.eu/Rentals/searchindex.js I want the customer to be able to search for a 'property ref', or if they don't have one to leave that field blank, and for the relevant item(s) to be returned. So if I search 'Bur1001' its returning that item, but if I leave it blank its returning all 4 items. That's all good, that is working fine! However, I want the form to be able to search other fields like 'short term', 'area' and 'bedrooms' etc, so if they leave the 'ref' field blank but 'short term' is selected then i ONLY want the 'short term' items to be returned. Does anybody know how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance for your time! I want to have two bulleted items on one line, but can't seem to accomplish it. I tried... <ul><li type=circle>item1</li> <li type=circle>item2</li></ul> Would there be an easy way to do this? I'm having trouble adding a line break between my form items. I've tried all the obvious solutions and nothing is working; either the breaks appear about the forms and below the text, or the form itself is moved to halfway across the page. I've tried using <br> tags and I've tried <tr> <td colspan="2"> <br> </td> <tr> and many variations, but none do what I what. Here's my code: Page Content goes here. <BR><BR><BR> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.usa-7.com/scripts/shared/refmlr"> <input name="destEmail" value="emailaddressgoeshere" type="hidden"/> <input name="reqType" value="Contact Us" type="hidden" /> <input name="numReqParms" value="5" type="hidden" /> <script src="validate.js"></script> <style> input.invalid {background: #ff0000;} input.valid [background: #afa; } </style> <table height="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> First Name: </td> <td><input name="First Name" size="30" maxlength="55" type="text" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Last Name: </td> <td><input name="Last Name" size="30" maxlength="55" type="text" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Email Address: </td> <td><input name="Email" size="30" maxlength="200" type="text" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Phone Number: </td> <td><input name="Phone" size="30" maxlength="35" type="text" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Comments: </td> <td><textarea name="Comments" cols="50" rows="8"></textarea></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> any help would be great. Thanks! Hi, how can I rearrange items by name or genre? I want to make a sort of collection for a few movies, with information about actors and so on. I have the information for each movie in a div tag. What do I have to do so that when I click, let's say on name, it lists the movies alphabetically? Is there any solution for this? Or generally how would you do this? Thank you. Hi, I'm new to this forum and could use some help. I created a website in iweb and I'm having an issue with items moving on the page. The website is VoiceFromHevin.com, not necessarily the welcome page, but the pages after that. So here is the backstory: When I first published my site I had problems with items moving around on the page when you shrank your browser window. The background would stay center while other images and text would move left. So, to combat that problem I changed two lines of code. <body style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255) url(About_files/background%20Test%202%20cropped%20longer.jpg) no-repeat scroll center top; margin: 0pt; " onload="onPageLoad();"> I changed part of the line of code from "no-repeat scoll center center;" to "no-repeat scroll center top;" I then change one more line of code which was: <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word; background: transparent; text-align: left; width: 980px; " id="body_content"> and made these changes to it: <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: -512px; margin-top: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: 50%; word-wrap: break-word; background: transparent; text-align: left; width: 1024px; " id="body_content"> However, if you notice the pages, the three blue logos have moved off of the cloud image (they should be resting on the cloud). And also the footer links at the bottom have moved. Is there a way to move those items back to where they should be? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! Hi Folks, I'm a newbi and just learning. Does anyone know if there is a tag or an object that would allow me to enter the same short list of items on several pages and be able to change the list on all the pages by changing it on one page? In other words if I change the list items on say a master page, it changes the list on all other pages where the same items are listed? Thanks for your help. Joel Hi, I know this is being an extreme perfectionist. But, if you look at http://www.tendervendors.com/dev/hr_systems.html, at the selected link on the navigation bar (HR Systems), you'll see that there are 2 lines either side of the HR Systems (selected) link. This is fine, however because the bottom border is on the other links and not the selected one, and the two side borders are on the selected link, the don't line up. I'm aware that i could specify the right border on the 1st link and the left border on the 3rd link, but i was trying to make it simple, so someone without alot of understanding and program it after i've done. So, i then thought, well i could overlap the links, 2px to the left, so set li { position:relative }, and then li {left:-2px}. but it doesn't overlap the li's, it overlaps the entire ul over the page (content div) border. Any ideas as to why this is? Thanks, Matthew Millar I am developing C# web application in which it contains a htm page. This Htm page contains a menu file. under file there are two items save and exit. I added the menu and items in the menu. what i need is how can i add the icons beside the items of the menu. Any one please Help. Thanks in advance. I am new to website design. I am trying to create a website for my business. when accessed through IE , the lovely little message this page contains secure and unsecure items pops up. Can I do anything to stop this? My site is SSL , I do contain links for affiliate programs on the index.html here is the site : www.woodyscoin.com any help would be appreciated. also, some links ( particularly the affiliate links on the bottom of the page) show in IE, but not firefox, is there a fix for that? My thanks in advance in helping a newb Bryan |
