Help with css float layout

Hi I am having problems with a page http://beermattonline.co.uk/manuscript_doctor/fees_submissions1.html half way down after the fees sub heading I can't get the next line to appear underneath it instead of to the right. Any suggestions? Here is my CSS.
Thanks in advance, Matt.

h3 { color: #26221e; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top: 5px;}

h5 { color: #26221e; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top: 5px;}
h6 { color: #26221e; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top: 5px;}

If you change the next to last style definition in your CSS file "manuscriptdoctor.css" from
h5 { color: #26221e; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top: 5px; }
to:
h5 { color: #26221e; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top: 5px; clear: both; }
everything should be fine.

Help with CSS Page Layout

I guess I am "old school" in that I have always used tables
to lay out my web pages. I decided I must learn to do it with CSS,
but I'm having a terrible time (and it shouldn't be so hard!). I
understand how to define the styles, add divs, etc. Here's what I'm
having trouble with:
How do I specify the normal page width to be 800 pixels,
however I want it to be relative to the browser (i.e., 100% of 800
pixels).
I understand the "float" tag, but if I have a right-hand
sidebar, I can't seem to get the text to the left (in a div called
"maincontent") to stop at the sidebar and wrap to the next line. I
tried specifying "Hidden" as my textbook suggests, but that has no
effect.
I can easily do all of this with tables, so do I really need
to abandon them?
Thanks!

Hi Jane,
I'll try to answer all your questions, then a tip or two to
stop the main
content from dropping when the browser window size is
reduced.
- " I didn't realize that
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
is not the same as margin: 0px auto;
That's right.
margin: 0px auto; is actaully saying make the top margin 0,
the right margin
auto, the bottom margin 0 and the left margin auto.
It's just CSS shorthand.
For example, you might have:
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left:15px;
You could just use margin: {10px 20px 5px 15px;}
Think of a clock to remember the directions.
12:00 top, 3:00 right, 6:00 bottom, 9:00 left.
If any of the values are the same, you can shorten it more.
For example, if top is 10, right is 20, bottom is 5 and left
is 20, it's
margin: {10px 20px 5px;}
If the 4th location (left) is missing a value, it makes it
the same as what
you have for right.
If top and bottom are 10px, and left and right are 20px,
it's:
margin {10px 20px;}
If the last two positions ( bottom and left vlaues ) are
missing, then it
will use the top value for the bottom, and the right value
for the left.
What auto right and left is doing is subtracting your content
width (the
container width) from the browser window width, and then
dividing the
remainder in 2 and applying each value to each side of the
container.
-"I found that they all took on the font of the maincontent
and I had to fix
them
individually. "
The only text that should be Time is the text in your main
content, where
you have that font defined. Everything else should be Arial
if you define
the body as such. I'll post a link at the end of this.
- "I put my bold sentence (Friendship, Fun, etc.) in h1, but
I had to change
the
color & size, so that added another style element. "
You don't need to give the h1 a class. You can actually just
style the h1
tag:
h1 {
margin: 10px 10px 2px;
font-size: larger;
color: #941238;
You can only use h1 once on a page.
You can use h2, h3, h4, etc, as many times as you would like,
and you can
style these just like the h1 style above.
- "I don't quite understand the .rightsidebar p { and
container p{
I am assigning the spacing to the <p> tag? What exactly
is that doing?"
That is saying, give all the <p> tags inside the
rightsidebar container the
follwing style.
So, in this example:
.rightsidebar p {
font-size: 18px;
margin: 2px 10px;
it's saying give all the <p> tags in this container a
size of 18 and margin
of 2px top and bottom, and 10px left and right.
It's a lot easier than giving a class to every <p> tag
- "I also don't quite understand the .clear {
Why not just choose clear:both on the next section <div
class="footer">"
You could, if the footer was in the container. It just needs
to be the final
element before the close of a container that contains the
float(s).
-Do you use the <div class="container"> technique all
the time?
Yes, most of the time. I usually put everything in it, and
use the
margin:0px auto; to center it.
That way, I don't have to try to get a number of different
elements to align
with the right and left sides by applying values to all of
them, which can
get tricky quickly.
-"If you'll indulge me one more question, I wonder if it's
possible to put a
graphic (say, of a putting green) underneath my
rightsidebar? I would want
the sidebar to lay on top of the putting green for an
interesting artistic
touch.
Yes, you can give that div a background image. You just need
to make the div
the same size as the image so you see it all (or vice-versa).
Now, to make that maincontent not drop like it does you can
remove the width
in the CSS. Now it will expand over to the left edge of the
rightsidebar.
You can control how close it gets by giving the right sidebar
a bigger left
margin. The point is, with no width assigned, the maincontent
will shrink
down to the longest word in it before it drops.
Here's what it looks like:

Let me know if you have any questions.
Take care,
Tim

Help with css float

I have a layout that I need help with please. The bright green panel is going to have a Flash file inserted but I need it to sit inside the detailsWrapper div, which needs to stretch to allow this to happen. The content is being generated through php modules and the details will vary in length, so I'm having difficulty styling this. I'm sure it's something obvious but I need help please!
Here's the link: http://www.designermagic.co.uk/hobarts/reapitDetails.php?clearcache=true&pagevars=1-bedroo m-property-for-sale-in-London-N22-hobrps-ALE090002

Your CSS code could use some tidying up. It's kind of a mess. See details below.

These statements are redundant.
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, {

Help with CSS beginner layout problem?

Making my first CSS website. See http://www.capeannphysicaltherapy.com/index-test.html
The DIV layout held up fine even after I copied text into the #main_text DIV. But when I turn it into html the #main_content DIV jumps down even though the text stays in place. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

Increase text size in browser (Ctrl+++) Zoom, text only - to test your pages.
Get rid of DIV container HEIGHT-itis:
#container {
width: 812px;
background: #FFFFFF;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
height: 566px; **remove me, no height is needed here**/
#left_container {
width: 222px;
float: left;
background-image: url(images/banner_left.gif);
height: 566px; /**remove me**/
min-height: 566px /**for non-IE browsers only**/
#main_content {
background-image: url(images/content_area.gif);
height: 370px; /**remove me**/
min-height: 370px; /**for non-IE browsers only**/
width: 590px;
Web pages need to be flexible. Do a Google search for "CSS Min- & Max width" and "CSS Min- & Max heights."

Help with creating a layout.

I need help creating a layout for my program, but am having tons of problems. I just an't that good at creating this, and it's been driving me insane.
Here's the link to how I want it to look like. http://s94182144.onlinehome.us/randomstuff/layout.JPG
In panel 1... that will be a cartesian plain, so it will pretty much be empty until lines and stuff are drawn in there.
In panel 2, there will be two drop down menus and a couple of buttons
In panel 3, there will be a bunch of things, with two buttons on the bottom.... and this section has to be scrollable.
Any help with the basic layout will be helpful... I can put in the buttons myself. For reference, the whole programs size is 400x800.
Thanks,
sachit

Read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers. You can combine multiple Layout Managers to get the effect your want. By default the content pane uses the BorderLayout, so one approach might be:
JPanel center = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
center.add(panel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
center.add(panel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
getContentPane().add(center, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(panel3, BorderLayout.EAST);
It turn you would layout panel1, panel2 and panel3 with the appropriate layout manager. Panel2 could be something like:
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
panel2.add(comboBox1, BorderLayout.WEST);
panel2.add(comboBox2, BorderLayout.EAST);
JPanel bottom = new JPanel();
bottom.add(button1);
buttom.add(button2);
panel.add(bottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

I have no idea what you mean by "sliding around", but could
it have
something to do with your missing old_break.css file?

Need help with Div Float Left...

Hi... this is a bit beginner, but can't seem to figure it out..
I'm trying to put three photos in a row... I am doing this by using divs with one floating left... but the third photo wants to drop to a second line below the other two...
Here is a link: http://www.robynjeandesign.com/bayareafacepainters/index.html
Help please
Thanks!

Don't overly complicate your code with too many divisions. Less is more.
Change this:
<div id="index_photos">
<div id="index_photo1"><img src="images/Face-Peacock.jpg" height="400" width="300"></div>
<div id="index_photo2"><img src="images/Face-Fairy-Crown.jpg" height="400" width="300"></div>
<div id="index_photo3"><img src="images/Face-Dragon.jpg" height="400" width="300"></div>
</div>
to this:
<img src="images/Face-Peacock.jpg" height="400" width="300">
<img src="images/Face-Fairy-Crown.jpg" height="400" width="300">
<img src="images/Face-Dragon.jpg" height="400" width="300">
Having said that, there may be times when you need 3 floats on a page. See link below for details.

Need help with Fluid Grid Layout and variable column balance.

I'm using the fluid grid layout. I have multiple columns that are actually fluid grid layout columns done by Dreamweaver. I'd like them to extend as high as each other (all to the maximum height of each other) within the same section. An added catch is that in the desktop layout, I have three side by side under one that takes the whole width of the page. On tablet size, it's 2x2 in a square grid. On mobile, they're vertically stacked. I'm trying to get it so that background colour and/or borders looks decent and is fully balanced, no matter which layout is hit with the fluid layout. The columns reflow, no problem. But the height of any background and/or border is variable.
Any help on fixing this?
Example at: https://music2help.thoughtburst.net/
The example doesn't have borders or colours, as it looked silly unbalanced. The music2help.css is the only one I'm modifying manually.
Love the fluid grid layout, but I need a way to make it behave decently with backgrounds/borders. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

I tried the solution Nancy posted. It altered things, but doesn't seem to do the trick.
Just some quick background. I did HTML from 1994 through about five years ago by hand in vi on *nix systems. I learned HTML through 4.01, and never bothered with XHTML at all. I learned CSS through most of CSS2. The CSS3 and HTML5 stuff is all new to me, but it can't be that hard. I'm not exactly a novice in JS (I've done a fair bit of AJAX programming), but it's not even close to my primary language (I'm a Perl guy).
I'm "stuck on" wanting to use Fluid Grid Layouts. It's billed as one of the selling points of DW CS6, and I really like the concept and results. I just want the results embellished a little, namely with sensible identical heights on grid containers set in the same row, so that you can apply background colours, dropshadows, and borders. That's really all I want to do that it doesn't already do.
I have a test page at: http://music2help.thoughtburst.net/ that you can try with your Quick Columns. I'd be interested to know if you can get it to work.
Here's the catch, though... Resize the browser, shrinking it inwards. (I suggest Firefox, as Chrome only shrinks so far, and you won't get to Mobile width.) As you can see, on a Tablet, one of the columns that should be equal height actually moves up a row and should be equal height with the row that, on a desktop, would take the entire width of the page area. So that's like a 4-up output in printing terms. At Mobile size, the entire thing is vertical, so none of the columns should be resized.
If your product works and can accomodate these conditions, I think I would be interested in spending the $35 it costs.
Let me know? Thanks!
EDIT: Changed URL to be non-SSL. The server has multiple vhosts on it, and I keep forgetting that I don't have a cert on this new one. Sorry about that. You can just add anything to one of the the three middle columns, if you're pulling it down to test.

Basically in Internet Explorer it's where I want it to be,
level with the top of the movie, but in Safari it drops down much
lower.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?
This is the CSS I'm using for the menu:
width: 300px;
height: 160px;
float: left;
margin-top: 40px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 85px;
display: block;
clear: none;

There's room for much improvement.

Help with CSS modifications...

Hi!
Finally got this up online for temporary testing. Here are
the items I'd like to modify...not sure how to tweak the code/css.
1) for starters, the links on the left hand continously move
down when I hit return in order to add more content on the page.
I'd like for everything in the left hand panel to be completely
static, and so the links fit into that transparency block within
the background image. (they are in a table now, before I had them
outside of a table, but I had a difficulty controlling them) When
we correct these to move up, the contact phone #, etc, will move up
where they should be positioned as well.
2) if you click on one of the links, the remainder of the
links all receive the 'visited' state visual; it's reading as one
cohesive element. That should not be, as they are independent.
3) I'm trying to control the "join our mailing list" to move
up into the sign up box, and in turn, this will bring up my main
paragraph closer to the top of this cell.
As you will see, I'm attempting to control this with CSS as
much as I can.
Thank you for your help; I really appreciate it!

They are moving because a) they are in a table that is nested
in a table
cell, b) the table cell in which that table is nested has no
vertical
alignment specified, c) with no vertical alignment specified,
you get the
default, which is MIDDLE, and d) as the outer table grows in
height, the
middle point of the cell in which the navigation table is
nested also
migrates lower.
The solution is to assign the CSS style vertical-align:top to
td.navlinks.

This is because they are all linking to the same target.
Visit one, and all
become visited.

The " " is not a layout tool. Don't use it as if it
were -
<h1
class="signup"> SIGN
UP!</h1>
If you want that content spaced over from the left, use a
padding-left style
on the .signup class.
Do not use background-attachment on that <h1> -
.signup {
height: 50px;
width: 99px;
border: 1px solid #C5C19D;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 420px;
margin-right: 20px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #591F00;
font-size: 13px;
background-image: url(images/signup-gradient.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: 10px;
background-attachment: fixed;
Replace your markup for that <h1> and <td> with
this -
<td width="546" height="261" valign="top"><h1
class="signup"
style="padding-left:10px;width:89px;">SIGN UP!<br>
<span class="joinmailinglist"
style="margin-left:0;">Join our
<br>mailing list</span></h1>
Finally, validate your page, and fix the errors. You have
table heights,
for example....

Help with CSS rule cross platform browser compatibility

I am an advanced beginner website designer.
The website I need help with is www.sprungtheatre.com
I designed this site on a PC machine. Each page has a
different CSS Background Image rule. The only rule I have set is
image and the "non-repeat." I have not set rules for its placement.
Each of these images had a feather effect applied to it in
Illustrator so the image would fade into the black background. This
works fine on Windows machines in IE and Firefox.
However, on Macs, the left-hand side of the image is chopped
off. Which is to say, it appears if the feathered edge has been cut
off and the image ends abruptly.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
My only guess is that the following my be happening:
The CSS Background Image rule is applied to a nested table
that is editable in a template. I'm thinking that the Mac browswers
are moving the image to the upper left of the overall, "poppa"
table in which the editable region is nested, cutting off that part
of the image that appears in the non-editable region of the "poppa"
table and showing that part of it that appears in the nested,
editable table. I hope that makes sense. Would applying the
placement rules help this? If not, what might?
Many thanks,
Jon

Don't use a fixed background image.
Sorry to break the news but the code is hidous for an
advanced beginner.
Youre sure to run into much trouble unless you are preapred
to take
some time out and learn this stuff correctly.
Using layout mode and spliting and merging tables into all
sorts of
shapes is a seriously bad method and one you should quickly
move away
from for the sake of your own sanity.

Help with CSS & Firefox

Could anyone help with the query below. I posted this last
friday but never
got a reply. The original message that i posted is also
below. It might be
easier to read from the bottom up.
Thanks
James
----------------------------------->
Thanks for your reply.
I've changed my code as you suggested & now the content
div is coming about
half way down the page- so were getting somewhere. There are
floated
elements so I have added the 'clearthefloats' div. There are
no absolutely
positioned elements, but I tried making the content div
position:relative
anyway but it had no effect.
I also added some text into the 'clearthefloats' div so i
could see where it
was on the page & it is halfway down the page itself,
even though it is
below the other elements in the page.
Thanks,
James

Yes I have tried setting the height. It should wrap round the
whole page
content not just the graphic. I tried setting the height till
it looked
right in firefox but then in ie there was about 150px extra
at the bottom.
(this was on another page which is a lot longer). Plus if i
set the height
to be right on the homepage, the other pages will be wrong. I
would have to
use seperate style sheets, or give the div's different id's.
Surely there is a way to get the div that all the contents
are in, to simply
wrap round them.
Thanks

Help with some floats

Hello again! Happy M.L.K day.
Still confused with some floats.. Here's a screenshot
and the css
.headingbox {
       clear:both;
       height:26px;
.floatright {
        float:right;
        margin-right:20px;
        color:#ffffff;
.floatleft {
        float:left;
        width:350px;
the headingbox class is above the paragraph and contains the floatleft and floatright. The issue here is that the paragraph sticks to the left of .floatleft. I want the paragraph to always be below it. This will work with a bigger height but when there is little text in the .alingleft there is just too much space between the post title and paragraph.
Is there an easy fix for this?

Sure! Sorry, I didn't think it would be unclear.
<div class="headingbox">
<div class="floatleft"> <h3 class="smalltext">Sample Post TwoSample Post TwoSample Post TwoSample Post Two</h3></div>
<div class="floatright"><h4 class="nomargin">Lorem Ispum has been...</h4></div></div>
<p>Lorem Ipsum is sample text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard sample text ever since the1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and…</p>
So.. I'm trying to get the <p> below .floatleft and .floatright. And when .floatleft has a lot of text in it I want to try and push down the paragraph. without it floating to the left of <h3> text.

Help with dynamic page layouts

Hello JSP Gurus,
I'm attempting to dynamically generate the page layout for my site based on the organization a user belongs to. Basically, I'd have certain resources like navigation links, graphics, etc, that are modular. Then I'd like to construct the layout using these "moduls" in a dynamic fashion. Does anyone have any suggestions on techniques or technologies that would be useful? I'm not really looking at the portal/portlet model. Is this something that Cocoon could do by storing the layout for each customer as an XML file or something? Any ideas, suggestions, experiences would be helpful.
Thanks!

How does Tiles differ from the JetSpeed apache
project? They both appear to be portal-like
frameworks, or am I incorrect about that? Which is
preferred?Frankly, I can't give you an in-depth answer to that. Maybe someone else can help with more details.
What I can tell you is that JetSpeed seems to be more of a real portal architecture. Emphasis is placed on the framework portion, interfacing with exisiting applications. Visual layout takes second seat to this.
Tiles on the other hand puts more emphasis on visual layout and reuse.
Just looking at JetSpeed's visual interfacing a little bit makes me really dislike it. You build tables and such inside of a servlet, so there's a tight coupling (or at least, much tighter than with Struts/Tiles) between the presentation and logic. (I'm basing this on a JavaWorld article at
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2001/jw-0727-jetspeed.html )
Based on your initial question, it would seem to me that tiles is much closer to what you're looking for (and likely easier to just pick up and use).
Anyway, take all this with a grain of salt; I'm not exactly an expert on JetSpeed. =)
