HTML - Are Nested Divs Bad Practice?
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 Similar TutorialsHi, 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. 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 have this msql database containing images, when user enter a query, the program needs to display images back, what is the usual practice for this kind of task? copy all those images to a folder and refer to them with img tag? delete all of them later? care to share some of your tips? Thanks, A.C. 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? you have 3 floating divs. "bottom" "top" and "middle". "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> 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. 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 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">

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 ? 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 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 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 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, Hello guys, I want to create a page with nested html tables. I have attached an image of exactly what I want. Can you please help me with that? I feel really stupid now, I can't figure out how to start a new thread.

Thanks in advance! 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.

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. |
