Annoying CSS align problem.

Before anything, an image I made to explain:
I'm just learning CSS pretty much by having a play, then I'll google anything I get stuck with but can't find an answer for this.
Sorry the code is on another computer so any syntax errors please ignore, I know it's not a syntax problem by the way I just don't know what to do.
OK, so as you can see where the white text is, thats where I want to type. I could put an AP div in there but know that both bad practice and wont be fluid/liquid.
I have tried setting the image as a BG, centering it, adding another div and changing the left-margin to the appropriate amt then going down with the space bar but this brings the image down with it.
I've tried floating an extra div
I've had extra divs in and out of the div with the background in.
I've tried changing the Z-index of them both, still same problem.
I'm sure it's simple to some but can't think what to go with!

Start with a basic, pre-built 2-col layout. If you want text superimposed on images, you'll need to put those images in the division's background.

Having a image alignment problem using clearbox

Hi,
I'm having an image alignment problem. I cannot figure it out. I'm using the clearbox - lightbox dreamweaver widget. Using Dreamweaver CS6.
Actual page located here. Any help would be appreciated.
http://dirtysouthink.com/gallery/dustin2.html

This has very little to do with Dreamweaver. DW is merely a tool to assist you in building a web site. It is purely a matter of styling (CSS).
When I look at the structure, I see
BODY-CONTENT (width: 490px)
     GALLERY (width: 452px)
          CONTAINER (width: 500px)
               ITEM (width: 150px)
From this I can deduce that:
GALLERY will fit inside BODY-CONTENT
CONTAINER will NOT fit inside GALLERY or BODY-CONTENT
ITEM will fit three times into CONTAINER
To start with, I would reduce the size of the CONTAINER so that it fits inside of its parent. Then I would adjust the width of the ITEM so that only two of them fit inside of the CONTAINER.

Banner Alignment Problem

I am having an alignment issue with a website that I recently built using dreamweaver.
http://bacs.myweb.uga.edu
There is not an alignment problem on the front page (index.html), but subsequent pages (http://bacs.myweb.uga.edu/currentstudents.html) change the alignment of the banners below the tabs for each section. Screen resolutions of 1280X800 do not have any alignment issues, but pretty much any other resolution changes the alignment. Is there a solution to this problem? Rather than posting all the code, you should be able to get it from the links above. Thanks in advance.

Annoying Ipod Synching Problem!!!- Laptop Crash- Now On Another Comp

I Have a Very Annoying and frustrating Problem with my Ipod Classic (80GB). Recently my laptop Crashed and i got all the music onto my main computer now. The Problem now is getting the music onto my ipod. I Synched it to the computer, Therefore It erases my music from the ipod and synchs it to new itunes. But everytime i try to get the music onto the ipod it either, connects them disconnects, Has a Unkown error Or when i've Waited for ages getting all the music on to it, It says A required file is missing and so your ipod cannot be Syched AND i end up with nothing on the ipod and lots of wasted time
Someone Plz Help.
I reset my ipod and tried it in CD mode but it still didn't work!
What Should I Do?
Message was edited by: TigerMegz

+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.)

Spot healing brush alignment problem

Using Photoshop CS4 (11.0) on a Mac with 10.5.6. Sometimes the spot healing brush works as expected. However, after working for a while, the alignment seems to be off--I hover the cursor over the spot I want to retouch, but when I click the mouse the area retouched is a bit (1/4" or so) below the spot healing brush cursor. If I quite and restart Pshop the problem goes away. This is with the spot healing brush--not the one where you need to select where to clone from. Is something wrong, or is there a new feature I don't know about that's causing this? I've used the spot healing brush quite a bit with CS3.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate hearing them. This is getting frustrating.

I think you are talking about a different issue here. This problem is not specific to the spot healing brush.
@ OP: The brush alignment problem is very real and I have it frequently when working with larger files (approximately >500MB in memory). I have two macs, a macbook (GMA X3100) and a mac pro (ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT). So two completely different hardware arrangements that have the exact same problem.This is clearly not a problem with graphics cards.
Drawing with any tool like: brush (any brush - dodge/burn, blur, eraser etc.), lasso (any lasso), line, crop tool etc. will result in a misalignment of about 0,5 cm directly downward. However, clicking on menus and dialogue boxes works as expected. Switching off OpenGL features in PS WILL NOT PREVENT THE PROBLEM (if I shout, maybe Adobe will hear...). The same problem appears whether I'm using a Wacom tablet or a mouse. It even appears when the Wacom driver is uninstalled.
So, if Adobe is not acknowledging the problem it's safe to assume it will be featured in CS5 as well.
@ Jim: Sorry, I would have posted in the other thread but your link does not work anymore.

Alignment problems in JSF datatable

Hi,
In my JSF data-table, i have few alignment problems.
For Example, I have 4 columns, Emp-Id, First-Name,Last-name and Age.
What happens is, sometimes, the value in the First-Name cell moves into the Last-Name cell, leadiing to alignment problems. But this is not happening always. Occasionlly this happens.
I tried with iFrames and also by having fixed width for each cell, then also this problem is persisting.
Is it something to do with the datatable display in JSF?
Any suggestions/ideas on how to resolve this problem would be of immense help.
Thanks

Hi
What happens if you delete the text and retype in and change alignment ?
Does the same issue happens with all sub menu items ?
Please provide the site url.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Keynote 9 and objects alignment problems

Why keynote does not align object using the first one selected as stated in the user guide?
It will rather use the highest one for top, the lowest one for bottom and a ponderate value for all objects for middle.
Same problem for left center right.
If I do align top with an order like (1 being the 1st selected, 2 the 2nd and 3 the 3rd).
     2                                             1     2          3
1                       I end up with                              Rather than 1     2          3
               3
If I do align top with
     3                                             2     3          1
2                      I end up with                               Rather than
               1                                                                                      2     3          1
Can this be changed somewhere?
This is just not logical at all. The first object should be the reference for the alignment.
There also is a problem with distribution, it uses the farthest left and the farthest right in Horizontal distribution rather
than first and last selected.
This is against the documentation.
Cheers.
Joffrey.

Hello.
Thanks for your reply. Indeed, these alignment guides are a powerful and great tool that I use all the time.
Nevertheless when it comes to aligning a big amount of shapes, I can't be bothered doing it one by one.
In the manual of Keynote 09' it is written page 89 and 90:
Quickly Aligning Objects Relative to One Another
You can use menu commands to quickly move objects on the same slide in alignment or space them equally apart. First, you must select all the objects you want to align (hold down the Shift or Command key as you click each object to select it).
To align selected objects:
m    To align the objects with each other, choose Arrange > Align Objects and then choose one of the alignment options in the submenu.
Left: Positions objects so that their left edges align vertically to the first object you select.
Center: Positions objects so that their centers align vertically to the first object you select.
Right: Positions objects so that their right edges align vertically to the first object you select.
Top: Positions objects so that their top edges align horizontally to the first object you select.
Middle: Moves objects vertically so that their centers align horizontally to the first object you select.
Bottom: Positions objects so that their bottom edges align horizontally to the first object you select.
There is a discrepency between the manual and what Keynote actually does.
I know there are lots of way to circumvent this alignment problem, I would just want to know if there is a place, in a config file, may be where this can be switch from topper to first one for example in case of an align top.
Any other tools such as Omnigrafle, Axure, Visio, Adobe suites, you name it, do it using the first selected object. I whish Keynote would act as expected.

CSS Align right problem

Hi
I am using the following css to align a div to the right hand
side of the
page:
#headerRight { RIGHT: 10px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 5px;
align: right; border: 0; width: 235px;}
The above seems to work well, except for one small annoying
problem. If the
content of the page is wide and causes the horizontal scroll
bar to appear,
then the div seems to work as it appears 10px from the right
side of the
window. However if I move the horizontal scroll bar over to
the right, then
the div doesnt move accordingly.
If I then resize the browser window, then the div moves and
always lines up
10px from the edge no matter what size the window is.
Anyone know where I am going wrong, or need any more
information?
Thanks
Brendan
Rate your experiences with your UK and Ireland builders at
http://www.ratethebuilder.co.uk
=========================================

Solved the problem by using the following javascript code:
function scrollDetect(){
document.getElementById("headerRight").style.left =
document.body.clientWidth - 245 + document.body.scrollLeft;
setInterval("scrollDetect()", 500);
Where 245 is the width of the div.
Only problem is that the code probably isnt cross browser at
the moment, but
I'll work on that.
Thanks again for all your help.

I want all text to be middle aligned in the table cells... If
someone could take a look at the code that would be really
appreciated..
In Dreamweaver the text is middle aligned, it just doesnt
work in IE7

You have this on the page:
<td height="79"
<valign="top">
try changing it to thos:
<td height="79" valign="top">
you also have this:
<option selected="selected">Select Card
Type</option>
option selected>Search By Card Type
</option>
make it like this:
<option selected="selected">Select Card
Type</option>
