Hello everyone. I have been given to task to create a signature template. I am pretty new to html. I am trying to remove the vertical spacing in between the website link/phone number and job title. I have sat here playing around with it for about an hour without much luck. What can I do? --------------------------------- here is the code i am using --------------------------------- <p> <strong><font color="blue">_______________________________________________</font></strong> </p> <p style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <font color="gray" size="4" face="Arial Narrow"><font color="gray"><strong>Debra Scott</strong></font>   ; <strong><font size="2">Newmarket Chamber of Commerce</font></strong> <br /> <font size="2"><strong><em>President & Ceo & nbsp;   ; <font size="1">"Leading Businesses.

Problem: hr vertical spacing looks OK in Firefox, Opera and Safari, but it is far too much in IE. I am using the following to style a 1 px hr with a specified color: hr.red {border: none 0; border-top: 1px solid #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #990000; width: 100%; height: 2px; margin: 0; margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:4pt; text-align: center; } Q. Is this the proper way to specify an hr? (The color, thickness and position are fine.) Q. This works with background of ffffff. How do I get this hr to work with any color background? Q. What can I do to keep the spacing the same in Firefox, Opera and Safari, but reduce it in IE? (Do I substitute padding for margin?) Here is the page I where I use the code: http://www.iaps.com/test/standard-te...-hr-test2.html Many thanks in advance. Hello, I have a table text spacing problem. I'm trying to have two text elements (p's, spans's, whatever) stacked vertically or as close as possible underneath one of other. I cannot for the life of me remove the gap in between. I've tried margins, padding, cellpadding/cellspacing, border-collapse, and still, nothing works. I've attached an example using primitive HTML. Anyone have any ideas? The code: Code: <table width="650" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td>TEXT</td> </tr> <tr> <td>TEXT2</td> </tr> </table> Thanks! Edit: Line-height did the trick. I am designing a site that uses a size-specific template, therefore, the size cannot change vertically so I have utilized a scroll bar in my body text. <table height="340" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:400px;"> <tr> <td><div style="overflow:auto; height:340px; cellpadding:0; width:519px"> body text goes here The scrollbar works fine, but the text butts up right against it. Changing the cellpadding does not give me space between the text and scrollbar, just between the table edge and the scrollbar. [the scrollbar fits inside the table size]. Is there a way to insert extra space between the right side of the text and scrollbar? Thank you for your help! Staci Hi, I have a site that goes over about 3 pages in length and in the IE the page is longer than in firefox. This is really annoying when you have next to the page a sidebar that is supposed to have the same length as the page but in the IE the sidebar does not reach the end of the page (because the page is longer due to larger spacing). To me it seems that IE makes more spaces between the text lines like h1, h2, p, etc. Is this a common problem and is there any solution to this? Having a problem with divisions, as far as i am aware the contents of a division portrays the length of any division. Correct? Is there any way i can make the division wider to enable me to have space either side of my text? Thanks CW Hi, I just thought I'd jump right in with my query. I'm looking to make Text in a table cell vertical, I've come up with solution of inserting <br />'s after each letter <table> <tr><th class="green">O<br />n<br />e</th> <th>Two</th> <th>Three</th></tr> </table> but I just wanted to know, is there a way of achieving this without doing this, can I control the size of the cell with css? thanks htmlhex hello all, I found a simple effect that make the text scroll vertical which it's prefect for my website. Code: <div align="center"> <marquee scrollamount="2" direction="up" loop="true" width="35%"> <center> THIS IS COOL </center> </marquee> </div> the thing is, how can I make it stop on RollOver / hover Hello everyone, would someone please help me with just vertically centering the text within the box that says "This page was last updated on Monday, May 16, 2011 @ 10:39 AM" it's for my site located @ http://www.trillionaireme.com Here is my CSS code: Code: body {background-color:#ffffff;border-style:solid;border-width:5px;border-color:gray;border-bottom-color:#ffffff;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-right-color:#ffffff;} h1 {background-color:#f5f5f5;font-size:17px; color:grey; font-family:arial;word-spacing:30px;text-align:center;} h2 {font-size:17px; color:grey; font-family:arial;word-spacing:30px;text-align:center;} p {font-size:11px; color:grey; font-family:arial;} p.bordertop {border-style:solid;border-width:5px;border-color:gray;border-top-color:#ffffff;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-right-color:#ffffff;} p.borderbottom {border-style:solid;border-width:5px;border-color:gray;border-bottom-color:#ffffff;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-right-color:#ffffff;} IMG.displayed {display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;} a:link {color:grey; text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:grey; text-decoration:none;} a:hover {color:#c0c0c0; text-decoration:none;} a:active {color:#c0c0c0;text-decoration:none;} div.page {width:920px;padding:0px;border:0px;margin:0px auto;} div.logo {width:200px;padding:0px;border:0px;margin:0px auto;} div.topleftbox {width:250px;height:250px;padding:0px;border:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#dcdcdc;position:relative;top:20px;left:1px;font-size:11px;color:grey; font-family:arial;} div.topmiddlebox {text-align: center;width:375px;height:25px;padding:0px;border:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#dcdcdc;position:relative;top:-15px;left:270px;font-size:11px;color:grey;font-family:arial;text-align:center;margin-} div.toprightbox {width:250px;height:250px;padding:0px;border:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#dcdcdc;position:relative;top:-15px;left:394px;font-size:11px;color:grey;font-family:arial;text-align:right;} My html code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html><title>TrillionaireMe</title><link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/trillionaireme.ico"> <head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="trillionaireme.css" /></head><body> <h1> </h1><div class="logo"><a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com"> <img class="displayed" src="http://www.trillionaireme.com/images/trillionaireme.jpg" width="196" height="233" border="0" /></a></div> <h1> </h1> <p class="borderbottom"> </p> <div class="page"><h2> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/fitness.html">Fitness</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/nutrition.html">Nutrition</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/money.html">Money</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/relationships.html">Relationships</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/parenting.html">Parenting</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/music.html">Music</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/literature.html">Literature</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/you.html">You</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/them.html">Them</a> <a href="http://www.trillionaireme.com/vision.html">Vision</a></h2> </div> <div class="page"> <div class="topleftbox">This is the top left box. <div class="topmiddlebox">This page was last updated on Monday, May 16, 2011 @ 10:39 AM <div class="toprightbox">This is the top right box. </div></div></div></div> </body></html> I have a mobile application and the text is top aligned in the Blue division rather than centered: <div class="header"> <span style="">TREO 600 LITIGATION</span> </div> Not sure what to put in the Span tag. .header { height: 2.0em; background-color: blue; text-align: center; color: white; font-weight: bold; } And I am viewing this as a Mobile application on an iPhone. Todd I've got a line of text that includes some IMG tags. The images are 23 pixels high and the text is about 16 pixels high. So the IMGs increase the height of the line. Normally, Text and IMGs are aligned to "the bottom", so that the IMGs are much taller than the text. I could increase the size of the text so that it was as tall as the IMGs, but I'd rather not. I want the text to be vertically aligned to the "middle", so that the line looks better. Is that possible? How I can set the scrool bar so that the vertical bar will show? When the typed text exceeds the horizontal space area, cursor will be moved into next line without hitting the Enter key. Hi everyone, I am working on a table for a future website and I need some help. I need to make the text at the top vertical, as in taking the word and turning it 90 degrees to the left. The best way for me to explain this is to show u the problem/test page. http://aquariachat.com/bigchangesare...chartfeb23.php I am making the chart/table in a simple html editor if that information is of any use. Thanks a lot, Drew Hi, I recently taught my self HTML and CSS so i'm still a bit shaky i started making a website to practice. i made a website with a top nav bar and a side nav bar. i can't seem to get my text to sit in the corner of both like in most websites it just seems to sit in the middle of the vertical side bar here is my HTML code and CSS code HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Testing... 1 2 3</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="CSS1.css" /> </head> <body> <h1> Testing Website </h1> <ul id="nav-list"> <li><A href=Home>Home</A></li> <li><A href=HTML>HTML</A></li> <li><A href=CSS>CSS</A></li> <li><A href=JavaScript>JavaScript</A></li> <li><A href=XML>XML</A></li> <li><A href=PHP>PHP</A></li> <li><A href=SQL>SQL</A></li> </ul> <ul id="side-bar"> <li><b>HTML Intro</b></li> <li><A href=SQL>HTML Home</A></li> <li><A href=SQL>Intro</A></li> <li><A href=SQL>Getting Started</A></li> <li><b>Basics</b></li> <li><A href=SQL>Basics</A></li> <li><A href=SQL>Elements</A></li> <li><a href=SQL>Attributes</a></li> </ul> <p> lets have a look </p> </body> </html> HTML Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background-color:black; color:white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } h1 { text-align:center; } ul#nav-list { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 750px; height: 20px; } ul#nav-list li { display:inline; } ul#nav-list li a { text-decoration:none; padding:5px 0; width:100px; background: #999; color:#fff; float:left; text-align:center; border-left:1px solid #000; } ul#nav-list li a:hover { background-color:#666; } ul#side-bar { list-style: none; margin:0; padding:0; width: 100px; } ul#side-bar li a { text-decoration:none; padding:5px 5px; background:#999; color:#FFF; float:left; width: 90px; text-align: center; margin-right: 20px; } ul#side-bar li a:hover { background:#666; } p { color:#FFF; } Hi All As the thread title suggests, I'm trying to vertical-align the text in a submit button - see attached. The html and css I'm using is below. I've tried wrapping spans around the value and altering the padding (which looks better but makes the onclick outline appear half-way up the button). Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Steve The html is Code: print("<input class='mybtn' SIZE='5' type='submit' name='storedatabase' value='Store Database'>"); The CSS is Code: .mybtn { width: 120px; height: 21px; border-style: outset; border-color: red; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; background-color: rgb(250, 240, 230); border: 1px 1px 1px 1px; outline: 10px; text-align: center; } Im trying to create a simple thing for my business. What im trying to do is have the image of each of my employees and under it have their name and other info. I want the images side by side with some space and able to put their info under it. Can someone help me with a html code? thanks! Ok so I'm learning along the way by playing around with what my web designer started. I'm having trouble working out what part of the html does the spacing between my text and the input box. Here's what I'm stuck at: You can see how where it says 'click for more fonts' the box isn't in line with the others. Any help would be much appreciated.... I'm starting to go cross-eyed lol. Alright i'm having a little trouble. When I add stuff to the side boxes, they are farther down then i want them to be, here is a pic: I'm wanting to move it up some, but I don't know how, I have been trying for a long time though. Here is the HTML Code: Code: <div class="box2 margin1"> <div class="tail-right"> <div class="corner-right-bottom"> <div class="corner-left-bottom"> <div class="corner-right-top"> <div class="corner-left-top"> <div class="indent"> <h3><span><span>Partners</span></span></h3> <div class="indent2"> <center><a href="http://www.elitepvpers.de"><img src="http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2364/31421454.png" border="0"></a></center> <center><a href="http://www.4botters.com"><img src="http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/2599/88029646.png" border="0"></a></center> <div id="vent"><div style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;"><a href="ventrilo://94.75.238.76:4696/servername=EQGVent" style="text-decoration: none;"></a></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Here is the CSS: Code: .box2 {background:#bec2c5 url(images/box2-bottom-tail.gif) bottom repeat-x;} .box2 .tail-right {background:url(images/box2-right-tail.gif) right repeat-y;} .box2 .corner-right-bottom {background:url(images/box2-corner-right-bottom.gif) right bottom no-repeat;} .box2 .corner-left-bottom {background:url(images/box2-corner-left-bottom.gif) left bottom no-repeat;} .box2 .corner-right-top {background:url(images/box2-corner-right-top.gif) right top no-repeat;} .box2 .corner-left-top {background:url(images/box2-corner-left-top.gif) left top no-repeat; width:100%;} .box2 .indent {padding:4px 6px 6px 4px;} .box2 .indent2 {padding:15px 12px 0px 6px;} Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hey folks... I've searched and searched for an answer for this, but with no luck. Probably because I don't know how to exactly describe my problem. Anyway, the issue is my page is displaying differently in IE and Firefox (surprise!). The spacing between the top image and the body divs are different. I'm not sure if it's an HTML issue or a CSS one. The page in question is: http://www.project-43.com/ The CSS file is he http://project-43.com/images/style.css It displays the way I want it too in Firefox. If you look at it in IE, you'll see the top image looks short, but that is because the spacing between the left menu area and the body on the right is too big. I appreciate any pointers that you might be able to offer. Thanks! |
