HTML - Divs For Layout
Ok I want to have a page that has 2 columns. Here is what I have:
Code: <div id="wrap"> Top <div id="left"> Left Div </div> <div id="right"> Right Div </div> Bottom </div> I want the left and the right divs to be columns. How can I do this? I am new to divs --I have always used tables. Thanks~ Similar Tutorialsi used to use tables for the layout, now i'm trying divs..the thing is i'm not sure how should i think about the layout, i mean like tables i have rows, every row have cells, now with the divs i should think about it the same way? a container div to replace the main table, then another div to take place of a row, then divs as cells..an so on does that make any sense? i don't know if that was clear, but the question is: how should i think about it? i know the question sounds stupid but it seems that i just got used to tables & can't accept divs yet Okay, i have a problem with divs on my site i have 4 divs, the first one is the holder, he's around the other 3. Then there are 3 divs that have to be placed next to each other, but that isn't working! When i use float left or right it tottaly screwes up my page, does anyone know what i do wrong?? my code is: HTML Code: /********** Lay-out **********/ body{ margin:0; padding:0; background-color:black; font-family:Tahoma; } .houder{ background-color:white; width:982px; height:500px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } .header{ height:120px; width:980px; margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(Afbeeldingen/header.jpg); } .headers{ background-image:url(Afbeeldingen/headr.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; height:21px; width:270px; margin-top:1px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size:11px; color:white; padding-left:10px; padding-top:7px; } a{ color:black; text-decoration:underline; font-size:11px; font-family:Tahoma; } .Contenthouder{ height:340px; width:980px; } .scheiding{ background-image:url(Afbeeldingen/scheiding.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:5px; height:340px; margin-left:280px; } /********** Menu **********/ .menu{ background-image:url(Afbeeldingen/menu.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:980px; height:14px; margin-top:1px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size:12px; padding-top:9px; padding-bottom:10px; } a.menu:link, a.menu:active, a.menu:visited{ color:white; text-decoration:none; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; } a.menu:hover{ background-image:none; color:red; text-decoration:none; background-color:white; } /********** inlog **********/ .inloghouder{ width:280px; margin-right:700px; font-size:12px; float:left; } .inlogtxt{ padding-left:20px; font-size:11px; } .inloginput{ border:0; background-color:lightgrey; font-size:12px; width:250px; height:18px; padding-top:4px; } .inlogknop{ background-image:url(Afbeeldingen/knop.jpg); font-size:11px; font-family: Tahoma; background-color:grey; border:0; color:white; font-weight: bold; height:20px; } /********** Text **********/ .texthouder{ width:500px; background-color:yellow; height:300px; float:right; } HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ne" lang="en"> <head> <title>Familie Voetbalspel</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style.css" /> </head> <body> <div class="houder" align="center"> <div class="header" /></div> <div class="menu" align="left" valign="middle"> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Home</b></a> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Uitleg</b></a> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Punten</b></a> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Ronde scores</b></a> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Klassement</b></a> <a href="#" class="menu"><b>Spelers</b></a> <span class="menurechts" style="margin-left:389px;"><a href="http://www.coachvanhetjaar.nl" class="menu"><b>Coach van het Jaar</b></a></span> </div> <div class="Contenthouder" align="left"> <div class="inloghouder"> <div class="headers"> <b>Inloggen bij het Familie Voetbalspel</b> </div> <div class="inlogtxt"> <br /> <b>Gebruikersnaam<br /><br /> <input type="text" name="gebruikersnaam" class="inloginput" /><br /><br /> Wachtwoord<br /><br /> <input type="password" name="wachtwoord" class="inloginput" /><br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Inloggen" class="inlogknop"/><br /><br /> <a href="#">Wachtwoord vergeten?</a><br /><br /> <a href="#">Geen account??

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>Untitled Document</title> <!- Holly hack for 3 px --> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css"> #_left, #_right, #_center { zoom: 1;} </style> <![endif]--> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #_left { float: left; width: 200px; color: #900; } #_right { float: right; width: 200px; color: #00F; } #_center { float: left; width: 200px; color: #00F; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="_left">Polyvios left menu<br /> sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf</div> <div id="_right">Polyvios right menu<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf<br />sdfdsfdsf</div> <div id="_center">ddd</div> </body> </html> The result of this code must be three in line menu. (the code is an example). But IE 6.0 can't understand divs with float. Any one who knows how I can fix it? Sorry for my English. Thank you. Could anyone explain to me how to put rounded corners on divs? Ive researched it a bit, but i want to be able to change the colours so i dont want to use image based if possible. found a way to do it but want more than one curved div but cant seem to be able t use different colours. I want to have one large rounded div on the webpage then some smaller ones within this one for nav menus and content etc, Have found some ideas but they dont work with IE. Can anyone help me with this code to make the page fluid in all three browsers without showing spaces in between the sections? http://www.cpe.rutgers.edu/wetlands/certificate05.html Thanks in advance Ok, I'm completely self taught, so don't be surprise if my html is a mess. I was told recently that I'm out of date in using tables and should be using divs, so in updating my website that's what I'm trying to do. The first one is that it doesn't display properly in IE. Can anyone tell me why, and how to rectify it? http://www.ratscallions.co.uk/Test/index.html There are other problems (as you'll be able to see), but I'd like to work that one out first. Thank you, Nim i have a prob in ie6 my divs go down. please take a look at my site amazingcoloradotravel.com/elkrange can someone give me a pointer where i gone wrong? hoping for your kind consideration regarding this matter Link to site for reference: http://www.ante-up.org/v2/ Okay, this may be kind of a doozy, but after some thought, I've come to a point where I am looking into using php inc instead of an iframe for my content display, and I want to know how I could go about using divs to set up the site to look exactly the same with php inc. (EDIT: Minus the scrollbar from the iframe of course) Like if I stuck the Navigation and the Login section into one php file, the 'stats' and miniblog section into a second php file, the header and footer each in their own php file, how would I go about aligning the divs so that I could just php inc everything? I'm first off assuming that this would be the correct way to do it. Any suggestions are welcome so long as they're not about my table usage I'm aware that many don't prefer them, but I've made them work across five popular browsers, so I'm happy with it. TIA for any who can offer some insight. PS: I suppose I should also add that I'm pretty much an ignorant incompetent when it comes to div layers, so bear with me Hi Folks, I am pretty new to web page development. I want to layout a page as follows: a) Header fixed height, width 100% b) left column fixed width c) Main content variable dependent on screen resolution d) right column fixed width E) footer always visible at bottom of screen I have been experimenting with div's to do this and I am having problems getting things to line up the way I want. I know I could easily achieve this using a table but I have the impression that it's frowned upon to do it this way. So my questions a a) Is it considered bad practice to use a table to control the layout of a page ? b) If so why ? TIA, JC Hello, I've came here because I am really stuck on this one problem... I can't float another DIV right so it's beside another DIV. ( http://www.lentonent.com ) Please could you fix this source code so one div is on the left and one is on the right and they both have a background of middle.png: Code: <html> <head> <style> #middle { width: 900px; background: url(images/middle.png) repeat-y; } #middle-left { width: 580px; padding: 25px; border: 1px solid #000; } #middle-right { width: 200px; padding: 25px; border: 1px solid #000; float: right; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="middle"> <div id="middle-left"> <h1>LEFT SIDE</h1> <p>This text should be on the left hand side. I'm just going to write a little crap now to make this paragraph really long and cool just like a frog standing on a spoon. Yes very random indeed but that's not what the bus shelter said.</p> <h1>LEFT SIDE</h1> <p>This text should be on the left hand side.

Hi, I am making my own HTML homepage and I would like to have a button/text saying: 'Close', at the top-right. But I don't seem to be able to work out how to have multiple DIVs on one line. I have tried floating but it doesn't seem to work. By the way, I am editing with SuperEdi. I think this is a html question, though if it needs to be moved to CSS please let me know. Basically, I'm using divs for the first time. I've got the same rough layout for each page on the site, but in one of them I need to insert a table. When I insert the table it puts a great big gap in the div just above where the table starts. Why is it doing that? Can I stop it? How do I get around this? Help! Nim Hi again I decided to use divs instead of tables for the html layout, now i have some issues and would like to ask you guyz around here. this is the html : PHP Code: <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="top"> <div id="logo"></div> </div> <div id="menlog"> <img src="logo.png" width="231" height="54" /> <ul> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Search: </a></li> <li><div id="searchbx"><form class="search" action=""> <input type="text" class="text-field"/> <input type="submit" class="submit" value="submit" /></form> </div></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> and this is the css: PHP Code: #wrapper { text-align: left; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; width: 100%; /* border: 1px solid black; */ } #top { width: 100%; /* border: 1px solid black; */ } #logo { background: url('bg-top.png') no-repeat; padding: 0px 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 0px; width: 100%; height: 90px; position: relative; } #menlog { /* width was 100% */ width: 100%; font-size:15px; } and this is what i get : now my problem is that my menu wont remain in the same line as the logo and it goes to the next line under the logo which i dont want! i tried also to put this line : PHP Code: <img src="logo.png" width="231" height="54" /> inside a div which i gave "display:inline" property but that failed too ! it would be nice if someone can advice me. Hello, I have a div tag that is scrolled vertically. I found some java code he https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM...scrollIntoView that allows me to use a "Scroll to Top" button at the bottom of the DIV to help navigate it back to the top. Problem is, that I want the page to remain in the same position, whereas this seems to be making my page scroll to the bottom at the same time as scrolling the div to the top. Has anyone got any ideas on howto scroll a div to the top, without the page reloading, or scrolling? Thanks Jay Hello, Please have a look at this site: http://www.shahspace.com/bow/home.html As you can see, I have two div colored pink and some space between them and around them. I'd like to get rid of all spacing but I can't. Here's the code: Code: <html> <head> <title>The Bow Tower</title> <style> body { background: url('content_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; } #textdiv { width: 230px; height: 100%; background-color: #ffaaaa; float: left; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #imgdiv { width: 250px; height: 100%; background-color: #ffaaaa; padding: 0; margin: 0; } span { font-size: 18pt; font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="textdiv"> <br> <br> <span> The Bow Tower<br> </span> <br> <br> <ul> <li><a href="services.html">Services</a></li> <li><a href="information.html">Information</a></li> <li><a href="health_safety.html">Health and Safety</a> <li><a href="index.html">Index</a> </ul> </div> <div id="imgdiv"><img align=right src="bow tower.jpg" border=0></div> </tr> </table> </body> </html> What can I do to get rid of the spacing (I'm working in IE9). Hi Guys How do I make scrollable divs ? Like the ones in hotmail contacts when writing a new email. http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/ That is tables... Someone had mentioned I should create the website with divs. Any tips for doing this? Or is there a real simple way to do it real quick? And what are the added benefits to divs as opposed to tables? Or vise versa.. Any help, or info would be greatly appreciated.
