HTML - Div Elements Overlapping
This is my first project using CSS and anything other than basic HTML and it's been going good so far. The page I'm designing is for my new guild on World of Warcraft (yes I'm addicted) and my problem is with the Content DIV i created. The site is http://twilightsdawn.50webs.com/index.html
In the code, I nested DIV elements containing the actual news posts themselves within the actual Content DIV, and by not specifying a height I had hoped the element would resize and simply tack on extra DIVS below one another. This seems to be the case with Banner and Content Text DIVs but the second set simply overwrite the previous and all my attempts to force the second "news post" below the first have failed or resulted in bizarre alignments. I am at a loss and would appreciate any design suggestions and/or feedback on the code. Thanks Similar TutorialsHow do I make element's change their height automatically depending on whether they have anything contained within them? My page background is a div's bg image but the div hasn't expanded to the size of the contained elements. The div's name is nicola-bg Here is the site I have the same problem too with #image-section. That div is styled to have large borders but the borders don't extend to the height of the div's containing elements. Hi everyone, Sorry to ask questions, I'm sure it gets annoying to have newbies bug you. At this point, I just don't know where to look. I googled this issue and found this site, but the steps didn't do anything for me like it did the original posters problem. I started making a site from dreamweaver, which I did not much enjoy. I left and went back to my usual notepad/IE. I have it online now, and it looks ridiculous on Firefox. I've tried the css reset, which only messed it up even further. I've tried validator, which didn't really do anything but tell me about errors that I don't even understand. I'm getting so frustrated! What on Earth am I doing wrong? http://exit20.com/vguadiana/index.html I have 3 swf files (buttons that expand vertically when mouse overed) that i want them to overlap a picture. they are all placed in a table as seen in the pic, can this be done? Hello people. I am desiging a web framework and that requires me to create overlapping divs. They will be absolutely positioned and I am planning on using the DOM to allow the user to select which one to take precedence and create special effects with. Kind of like how the windows work in MS Windows with the frames overlapping each other Can someone kindly give me some CSS or JavaScript or any clues as to how I might do this? Thanks in advance and regards, mintsmike hi, i have a table, i freezed(locked) the first column and firs row of the table.whilw scrolling down, the freezed(locked) column camouflages the freezed row.but i don't want this.i want the freezed row to caoumaflage the freezed column.do you have any ideas? Regards. I am having a problem with my website in some screen resolutions and I can't figure out the problem. My site is www.911eda.com There are three gray boxes in the middle of the site with a red heading. At the bottom is a Read More button that changes when you hover (using css). In some resolutions, that button is overlapping the end of the text above it. Can you help? http://completely-gaga.com/ hi i want to make it so that my image fader sits ontop of my header, i've set the positioning of where i want it to be and tried z-index, but it's still not working. any idea what i need to do? heres the test site. http://thefamilydynamic.jsimsc.com/ and what i am trying to accomplish is the drop down menu's at the top to overlap the frame below it (FRAME B) instead of being hid behind it. i tried ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" but the menu still drops behind frameb the menu itself IS transparent, so i should be able to see the stuff on frameB when the menu drops down I wasn' too sure if I should post this here or not. If not, I'm really sorry. I'm working the home page and here is what I was trying to accomplish. Under the header and the menu, we would have a left section of about ~520px. It would be divided into 2 parts. Top and bottom section. Also, there would be a right column of say 250px The texts of the "content area" (left) and the "right column" are overlapping. I had forgotten a lot of the CSS and can't seem to fix this issue. I probably did some things with css that are not "proper" Anyway, here's a link to the page and to the CSS Link css Thanks in advance.

I made it in dreamweaver, and it looks ok on my computer, however I had some people email in saying that the logo dissapears under the menu bar and is not visible (see attached jpeg). Is there any way I can make sure that the logo (an image) and the menu bar dont overlap on older versions of IE? Website is webuyanyphone.com btw. Any help would be awesome. hi guys I would really appreciate any advice on this matter I am building a wesite for my boss, and when i open a page my text goes under the jquery slide show...but that happens only when I enter the site,any other page or if i refresh the page it works fine....why does it happen only once? any ideas? Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <STYLE> #mp { border:1px solid #999; width:300px; background-color:#222; color:#999;} #mptabpanel { float:left; width:300px; height:400px; } #mptabcomments { background-color:#003; z-index:4; position:relative; top:0px; left:0px; } #mptablinks { background-color:#030; z-index:5; position:relative; top:0px; left:0px; } #mptabplaylist { background-color:#300; z-index:6; position:relative; top:0px; left:0px; } </STYLE> </head> <body> <!-- open mediaplayer --><DIV id="mp"> <DIV id="mptabpanel"> <DIV id='mptabcomments'>COMMENTS TAB</DIV> <DIV id='mptablinks'>LINKS TAB</DIV> <DIV id='mptabplaylist'>PLAYLIST TAB</DIV> </DIV> </DIV><!-- close mediaplayer --> </body> </html> The three divs, "mptabcomments/links/playlist" are supposed to occupy the exact same position. (Only one of them will be visible at any time.) I've tried relative positioning and altering each div's z-index but my brain seems to have switched off here! I can't use absolute positioning because this layout is part of a bigger layout which itself is going to be absolutely positioned around the screen and I don't want to have to manually update each contained div's position every time the parent div is moved. Browsing the internet for a gift I saw something I liked and want to incirporate somethign similar. This webpage has a table nd the image overlapping the top row... any ideas how I would do this? I believe it will be a <div> tag issue but unsure. The table I have is this: Quote: <table border="1" width="810" id="table1" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#252525"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#252525" height="34"><b> <font face="Arial Narrow" style="font-size: 13pt" color="#FFFFFF"> Title</font></b></td> </tr> <tr> <td> My text</td> </tr> </table> The image is a PNG as the background is transparent. I want it to run against the right hand side and overlap into the top row also. Okay, so as you can see from this page: http://ggmdolly.com/headersample.php The only problem with the page is that the text is overflowing out of the supposed layout area. The reason for this is that if I add padding to the div, the layer's BACKGROUND IMAGE (which is the grey area plus the shading over the main background) also moves, and looks really messed up. So I need to know how I can add padding to the text - what way is there? I tried making a new div layer within the div layer that contains the background - but the div doesn't 'stretch' for the text so the background doesn't repeat itself, if you get what I mean. Any solutions? My code looks like this: <div id=layer2 style="position:absolute; top:348px; left:276px; width:785px; z-index:2; padding-left:0px; padding-right:0px; padding-top:0px; background-image:url(http://ggmdolly.com/divbackground.png);"> <body> (Body text) </body> </div> Hi to all, I am creating an event planner which means that I have a calendar like in html generated by server side script, with users created events stored in a database that are displayed with floating divs that can span across many days. Events can be added/edited at any time by many users, and I can not modify the way they add or modify it. Therefore I can have many events on any day and an event can last an indefinite number of days. The problem is that some of the event will overlap, is there any way in html /css to prevent the <div> with absolute position to overlap without any javascript ? Thanks a Million, Alex I have both <div id="images"></div> and <form> on the right column of my page. I want to overlap the two of them, because the form is hidden so that when the viewer clicks on "contact us" the images div will disappear then the form appears, through behaviors. But the form is below the images div tag, so when I click on contact us, the images disappear, but the form appears on the bottom of the image div tag, its suppose to take the place of the images div tag instead. _________ I'm trying to build a "Start Menu" style nav based on something I created in BlueVoda. I've finally gotten all the java working, but i can't make my button float over my header image like I had it in the WYSIWYG editor. My site is arlenbresh.atspace.me I've tried style="position:absolute" but to no avail. What am i missing? Should I be taking a different approach to this? Hey there, I'm very new to HTML, but I can't figure out why the content area of my page is overlapping with my top frame. It's most obvious just to the right of the right angle formed by the place where the top and left frames each other. The website www.fourseasonssunrooms.ca. Any ideas as to how to move the content area down so this overlap does not occur?? |
