Layer or div tag positioning help wanted

Okay, actually I have two problems: 1) I have managed to
create a navigation bar, but I can't find out how to save it other
than saving the html page it was created on. The help literature
seems to vaguely indicate that a nav bar created can be saved and
used on other pages, but I'll be damned if I can find where there
are any details of this process.
*BTW, my navbar has multiple elements or buttons, so I can't
just copy paste, ctrl/shift doesn't seem to work selecting multiple
elements, tho it works on regular images*
2) Once I solve problem #1, I am goin to want to have the
navigation bar "stay put" in it's position on the screen, immune to
any scrolling that occurs on the page(s). So, I plan on putting
into a layer or div that can be given this behavior or property.
Unfortunately, I can't find or figure out how to do that, either.
Is this a good plan? Is there a better way to make the Nav bar
exempt from page scrolling?

No offense, but I think your approach may be a bit off base
here (of
course I have not seen a link to a a page showing what you
are trying to
achieve, so I could be completely wrong). The first part of
your
question already makes me nervous, because it makes me think
you have
used Fireworks or another image program to create your
navbars.
Depending on which version of Fireworks you are using, that
could be
disastrous or only unwieldly. The navigation bars created by
Fireworks
are definitely not the best solution,and you can go through
years of
posts, particularly by Murray, advising against their use.
If you are interested in an easier way to create your
navigation, post back.
Second, wanting your navigation to stay put while the rest of
the page
scrolls is something I see here a lot, but it's not
necessarily how the
web works. People plunge into frame hell in order to
accomplish it,
but it is like trying to kill a mosquito with a jackhammer.
There is a good extension that will do this for you if you
insist, but
given the problems you are having now, I would first create a
properly
coded page that behaves as a normal web page should, and ONLY
THEN
worry about server-side includes
revisit the issue of fixed and scrolling page elements.
An excellent tutorial for creating a cross-browser friendly,
modern
(e.g.not relying on tables for layout) page can be found at
www.projectseven.com (search for "quickdraw" without the
quotation
marks), where you can also find an excellent tutorial for
creating
horizontal or vertical navigation menus that are simple and
can be used
in templates or server-side includes (search for "uberlink"
without the
quotation marks).
Good luck.

understand

AP div tags/positioning within a box/can't do it/?

*I've drawn a container box for my home page, into which I want to add an image, and then freely position my interactive/rollover buttons and/or images within the confines of that box. I've got the background...and the box...but Dreamweaver will not let me draw an apdiv tag within the box. I can draw outside the box, but get a circle with a slash when I try to draw within the box.
I have a page online www.bradmarsh.org. I created it by just placing the image and then drawing the button boxes and placing them. They are not placed relative to the confines of the box, so they move when I resize the browser. Also..I might add...it's just a mockup.
At this point, I still don't understand html, but I am starting to grasp it somewhat. If I can solve this little issue, I can carry on with creating my own site.
Help??
Thank you

Help with placement of div tags

Hello. I am sorry to ask what probably is a dumb question, but I'm new, using Dreamweaver CS5, and I need some help. I'm sure I'll be posting here a few times during this process of building a new site, but I'm hoping it can be a good way for me to learn. I've watched a lot of tutorial videos, and so here I am.
I have my site, but I'm having problems being able to place div tags. I set it up with a wrapper div, a header div, a content div, footer div, etc. But, inside those divs I want to have other div's where I can place things like a client login box, etc. So, I tried and tried to place them after one div, or before one, but I just can't get them to work right. I'm very proficient at Photoshop, but web work is fairly new. I've done a few sites, but in Golive and just basic bringing them in from Photoshop. Now I want to learn correctly, so I'm trying all of this.
I found a way to make a box, using AP Div tag, and then move that where I want it, but, it doesn't work right for me then. I don't want it fixed in the same spot absolutely, but rather I want it to move with the page. I'm going to post a link to the site I'm working on, in case that helps. But, if you look at the site so far, you can see for example I want the text box that says client login to move as you make the page wider or smaller. It's fixed now. But, it's the only possible way I know how to put the box and div tag where I want it. When I just try to insert a div tag (not an AP div) it just goes underneath the div above it.
What I'm asking is, how do I place div's within div's? Or, can I use this AP div to put it where I want, and then change it to a regular div, and it stay in the right spot? I just don't understand how exactly to place divs where I want them, unless I use the AP div box and move it around the screen. Also, if I have a div box setup, is there a way to drag it somewhere else or reposition it somewhere else on the screen just by dragging? It's all a bit hard for me to figure out at this point, but I appreciate any help you can give me.
The AP Div I used is at the top that says client login. That's the box/table/div tag I'm trying to set up correctly, so it moves with the other elements, like the logo, as you make the page wider or less wide.
Here is the link:

Thank you again.

DW is not drag & drop friendly like graphics or word processing apps.
APDivs are NOT for primary layouts. They are for special situations and should be handled with care or you'll end up with a mess. Here is why:
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
The best advice I can offer is to familiarize yourself with HTML markup (content) and CSS (styles) before you even open Dreamweaver. Without a working knowledge of code, you're not going to get good results.

Help with div tag in DWCS4

Hola
this is my first time using --or trying to used-- CSS
I have a div tag that I want to used as a navigation bar.
I type the links, and when I try to fix them with CSS, if I put a line (border top and bottom) on top of the link, the whole links Shift out of the navigation box.
Then I tried to put an inside div in the navigation div to try to control the shifting, but it didn't work, still shift out of the div nav.
I'm going to post a link later so you can "see it".
Hope you understand my problem
Thanks for your help.

I have being trying to get 2 div tags to float next to eachother for hours! I've been messing with the float and messing with margins, but what ever i do the div is always somewhat under my other div tag. I want them completely side by side. I have tried changing the top and bottom margins but that doesn't work either. how can i get them side by side? One is called 'textbox' and the other 'imagewrapper'. The code is:

If you want to position 2 divs - one on left and other on right, the float for your left div should say float: left; and for the one on the right the CSS should say float:right;
In your code, I see you want imagewrapper to come on right and textbox to come on left. But your float for BOTH these say right. This is where the issue lies.
You can combine float:left and float:right to achieve side by side divs provided the overall width (container width+padding+margin) of both divs is less than or equal to the width of the wrapper div.
In the OP's example:
#wrapper = 1064+0+0 = 1064px
#textbox + #imagewrapper = 600+70+280+720 = 1670px = float drop

CS4 Div Tags Help Needed

I just upgraded to CS4. In dreamweaver I am trying to build a
site that I designed in Photoshop to Dreamweaver using all Div
Tags. I can get the container to center, but when I place other
divs on top, they wont stay where I put them. I have taken absolute
positioning off, but then they fly off position totally. How to get
around this? I have tried relative, fixed and inherit, all with the
same result. I just cant figure it out. Can anyone help me?

Most of which are erroneous guesses.

How do I position AP Div Tags relative to a Table?

Hi!
I know that it is possible to position an AP Div Tag relative to the header using a template in Dreamweaver. However, I am not able to position to relative when using a table so if you know how then help would be appreciated! Thank you! (I am using CS5 by the way)

Not sure why you want to do this as it can be hit and miss.
I would insert a <div> in a table cell and set its position to relative and then insert an absolutely positioned <div> inside of the relatively positioned one:
<td>
<div style="position: relative;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 50px; left: 40px;">Content goes here</div>
</div>
</td>
I think that should work although I havent tried inserting <divs> inside a <td> cell for many moons.

Help with Div Tags

Hello,
I've got 2 flash files in separate div tags. Div 1 is sized 100% x 100% to match the movie, and the other div tag is set at 900px x 700px (again to match the movie). The 1st tag sort of acts as a background to the top layer. This all works great and really happy with the result.
My only problem is when the browser window gets smaller than the top layer a scroll bar appears (this is no problem, i actually don't want the top layer to resize due to text legibility etc.) but what i notice is that when you scroll to view the rest of the top layer, the bottom layer no longer fills the screen, the remainder of the screen is now white, it actually cuts off some of the image from where the window was in it's last position.
this is the site:
http://www.baycreative.co.uk/Test.html
Any suggestions to why this is happening?

Try this tutorial instead. I believe the one you are
following is flawed.

Div tag not expanding with content.. Help please!

Hi there,
Firstly I'm reasonably new to this so if I appear stoopid, it's possible that I am.
I have been building a CSS based page with Div tags. What I'm trying to achieve is an html body that has a #wrapper centred on the page, then a #header, #nav, #banner, #content and #footer consecutively down the page. Then inside I want to place a #leftColumn and a #rightColumn. This much I have achieved. What I'm having trouble with is having the content div expand with the two column divs within it. I've included the main.css file I'm using below as well as the source code for the content section of the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Philamon

Hi,
Change your wrapper code to this.
#wrapper {
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;

text-align: left;
You haven't included the Wrapper Div in your code :
You haven't specified and CSS markup for leftColumn2.

Position images at bottom of div tag?

How do I position images at the bottom of a div tag?
These images are going to be used as links and Im using a
template which will double there size on certain pages, so I cant
use background images.
Please help as I cant believe this isn't possible!
James

I dont understand what you mean by;
'If you do not know the widths, and you want them all to flow
one after
the other, the make another div as their container, and move
the
"position:absolute;right:0px;" styles to the new div'
When I apply a rule for all images in the div tag, the images
all sit on top of one another;
.container img {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
If I set the images individually I can stop them from doing
this;
.container #image1 {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 320px;
The problem however is that this design is for a template.
The images in the template will double in size when the user is on
that page.
If i use a pixel (or a %) value for the left position, then
the left hand side of the image is centered, not the centre of the
image. This means that the space between the images will vary when
one of them enlarges.
This could be solved if there was some way of making the
images sit next to each other, without specifying a position left
value (like when you insert images into a div tag with no rules).
Can this be done?
Alternatively, is there a way of using a position left value
which controlled the position via the center of the image, not the
left side? Then I could use % values and the images would still
look ordered.

AP Div Tags Help

In my div tags, when they get so big, there appears a
horizontal dotted line. what does this mean? I try to color the
background of the div tag, but it only goes down till the dotted
line, and stops.

You are not paying attention to what I am saying. You only
get the dotted
line when you have specified a dimension for the container
that is SMALLER
than what you have already put into it. If you fix those
dimensions, the
dotted line will go away.

Help- check box on when the page is loaded first time have to show div tag

posted Yesterday 11:48 PM
Hi Friends,
I have a check box and the information of if it is checked or not comes from Actionform get, I want the div tag to be displayed when the jsp is first loaded and the check box is checked.
Can some one help me in sending the sample code for this.
with regards,
Bhargavi.

Hi Scott,
Declare a SessionBean variable to hold the unique key field value for that table. Set that value when the user clicks on the button. Use the value to select only that row on the next iterattion of the page in RowSet.setCommand statement.. You will want to do some conditional initialization for this page depending upon whether or not this seesion bean variable has been initialized.

Help needed creating vertical bullet list using div tag and css

Hi,
I think there is something quite fundamental that I'm missing when using div tags - I seem to keep running into problems with them.
I'm trying to create a vertical bullet list. It works fine when I try the code on its own as follows:
<!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">

When I insert that into my site template page, its all over the place:
http://www.pa-solutions.co.uk/development.html
I've put the css code into a seperate file http://www.pa-solutions.co.uk/pas.css - I get the same results when its embedded into the html doc.
Please help before I pull all my hair out.
Thanks,
Phil.

Unless you know what you're doing with absolute positioning, avoid absolute positioning! Absolute positioning actually takes an element out of the normal HTML document flow and positions it absolutely in relationship with it's first parent with a position other than static - for details read the HTML specs at the W3C.
Ideally you should use the normal HTML document flow. Divs are block level elements meaning that they act like blocks that take up a height (determined by children content) and width (the full width of the page or it's parent container, unless you tell it otherwise).
For your CSS try this:
#techlistcontainer {
    width: 75%;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 30;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 30;
How does that work with your templates?

When floating DIV tags, I am unable to center the tags? help..

I am relatively new to dreamweaver, and have only used CS4 prior to CS5.5.
I am creating a website that has three columns, the header and the links bar to all other pages centers fine. But when i try and align the DIV tags it acts as if it is glued to the left or right hand side of the screen.
I am just wondering if there is a way to align the most left of the tags to directly underneath the most left of the header and the same for the right hand side?
If anybody could help it wouyld be much appreciated.
Thanks.

First, the way you have to handle multiple columns is to wrap them in a larger div.
So you'll have a container with three divs, name them left, center, right.
So here are your styles in CSS:
#container {
          width: 780px; /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
          background: #FFFFFF;
          margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
          border: 1px solid #000000;
          text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
          clear:both;
    height:0;
    font-size: 1px;
    line-height: 0px;
#left {
          float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
          width: 180px; /* the actual width of this div, in standards-compliant browsers, or standards mode in Internet Explorer will include the padding and border in addition to the width */
          background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
          padding: 5px; /* padding keeps the content of the div away from the edges */
          margin-top:15px;
#right {
          float: right; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
          width: 280px; /* the actual width of this div, in standards-compliant browsers, or standards mode in Internet Explorer will include the padding and border in addition to the width */
          background: #FFFFFF; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
          padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; /* padding keeps the content of the div away from the edges */
#center {
          margin: 0 290px 0 190px; /* the right and left margins on this div element creates the two outer columns on the sides of the page. No matter how much content the sidebar divs contain, the column space will remain. You can remove this margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the sidebar spaces when the content in each sidebar ends. */
          padding: 0 10px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
Now, when you put together your HTML, you'll do this:
<!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>
<title>Page Title goes here</title>
<link href="path/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
    header goes here
    </div>
</div>
<div id="left">
Left Content Here
</div>
<div id="right">
Rightmost Content goes here. Please note the middle section comes after the right section.
</div>
<div id="center">
This is the center stuff and you will note that it has margins that keep it to the center.
</div>
<br class="clearfloat" />
<div id="footer">
Footer stuff goes here and is as wide as the main container
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Re-positioning div tags

I am grappling with div tags - I am a newbie and have created an experimental web page. However all was good until I started to add a spry menu. the right container moved and I cannot figure out how to get it to move left. I tried the positioning properties but could not get it to budge! Can anyone help. I only have 2 div tags "left_column" and "right_column" plus the container The page is here
http://web.me.com/suethomo/Site2/Index.html
This is how it used to look before I mucked around with the spry menu
http://web.me.com/suethomo/Site2a/Index.html
Thanks

You didn't close the left_column so the right column is in the left column. Add </div> before <div id="right_column">
