What is a good way to set up a single container div with some border images surrounding it (in my case only on the left, bottom, and right sides)? I have it centered at the top of the page, overlapping everything else (so like that OSX-style slide-down dialog). Here's the basic layout: Here's what I've got so far (can I avoid a stati...
Hi, I need to hide a DIV partially, not totally. When page loads, I want it to show the first, let's say, 100 pixels sitting on the uppermost part of the div. When the user clicks a certain button, the div will open (it could be a sliding effect like jQuery's show()). When the user clicks back the same button, the div will return to its ...
I just started making a PHP/AJAX site and I was wondering where I should add the functionality to "only include the content". Should I have if statements in my header and footer scripts that check for a "ContentOnly" get parameter? And then append that parameter to the query strings in my AJAX calls? Or should I use a filter on the AJ...
I am new to javascript and have written a piece of code (pasted below). I am trying to build a little game of Battleship. Think of that game with a grid where you place your ships and start clicking on opponents grid blindly if it will hit any of the opponents ships. Problem is I need to get a function called with the ID of the DIV to be...
Can someone shed some light on this issue? The expected result does NOT appear to be happening... Am I correct in my assumptions? .float-right{ float:right; } .header{ (stuff we don't care about) } .header img .float-right { display:inline; margin:0 0 0 0.5em; } I THOUGHT that would mean that a < img > tag inside a < div ...
I want to make a preview page in php, where I can drag n drop images among different divs and save the positions of the images in mysql. ...
This is probably a very dummy question, don't throw your shoes at me :) Consider having HTML like this: <div class="container"> <div class="header"> </div> <div class="body"> </div> <div class="footer"> </div> </div> I want 'header' and 'footer' to be anchored to the parent's top and bottom respectively, and '...
I have a page that I want centered, with a background and a border around the entire content. I made a div and set it with the background color and the border settings I want. Problem is that it has divs inside it that float and the background does not stretch around the floating divs. The only way I was able to get it to work was by s...
Hello, I have a question for the more experienced programmers here. How can I best organize the div's to have like a left side, a middle side and a right side? I am doing my website now for a while and I spend half a day moving div's around because they don't stay in place after I put another one in and I want to work with the relativ...
I have a simple layout with content floated-left and a fixed-positioned menu on the right. It works well for any of my pages that have enough content in the 'content' div so that the div grows to it's maximum width. However I have a couple pages that don't have enough text for the div to grow to its maximum size. The HTML: <div id="f...
I have a containing div (contentBody) that is N% wide. Within that div I have two other divs, contentLeft and contentRight. contentLeft is always 205px. I want contentRight to automatically fill the remaining space in contentBody. How can I achieve this? #div contentLeft{ width:205px; float:left; } #div contentRight{ width:<**1...
One of the arguments I've heard about blueprint css is that it lets you think of your layout in terms of a grid rather than in terms of floats. This seems like a big advantage to me because I always get confused about where my floats are going to end up - sometimes a float will unexpectedly drop down below some other floats and I have a ...
Hi there, been experimenting with unordered list UL and i have seem varios examples of using them in place of divs.. So i a bit confused, when should i use divs and ul.. for example if i have a 3 column layout then i presume i used divs here, although i can use UL Also on the right column i have lots of formatting to do, the idea was...
I am trying to get the main content portion of my website to be wrapped in this notebook style look. However on the main content portion I have a repeating image that sometimes cuts off at halfway through the image and doesn't look right, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this either in Photoshop or with CSS ? I have to maintain...
I have a JQuery function that toggles one of the divs in my layout. The problem is that the whole layout moves around on the screen when the div appears or disappears. Is there a way to achieve the same show/hide effect without altering the layout? <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function () { $("#la...
I have these 3 icons enclosed in separate DIVs all of which are enclosed within a single DIV: <div id="icons"> <div id="divtxt" class="divicon"> <img src="/icons/text.png" id="icontxt" class="icon"/> </div> <div id="divpdf" class="divicon"> <img src="/icons/pdf.png" id="icondoc" class="icon"/> </div> <div id="divrtf...
I have some icons inside divs and needed to lay them out with a left-to-right structure instead of the default top-to-bottom layout that seems to come with divs. It's probably not news to most people who know CSS but I figured out (with a little help) that I could cause the divs to layout left-to-right using either: float: left/right ...
I am trying to create a div that starts 200px from the left and extends to the edge of the page on the right but not beyond. Right now with 100% as the width it extends 200px beyond the page to the right. Without the width, it still extends beyond by 200px. Any idea how to make this work? #MsgBanner{ position:relative; background...
hey guys, how can I just achieve this simple layout? I'm hoping the answer will help me understand the basics of css layout and floats. <div id="verticalElement1"> <div id="horizontalElement1"> some content </div> <div id="horizontalElement2"> some content </div> <div> <div id="verticalElement2"> <div id="verticalE...
I have two elements which can vary in heights and both floated next to each other. The problem is that it looks pretty ugly if one box is higher than the other. So I want them to be the same height. One way I thought might work would be too to wrap them in a container div and hope the taller one resizes it and the smaller one expands t...
