I have a html file :
<!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">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<div class="maindiv"><div class="subdiv"><input type="submit" class="button" value="button"/></div></div>
<body>
</body>
</html>
And the test.css file :
#charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
.maindiv {
position:relative;
}
.subdiv {
position:relative;
}
.button:hover {
background-color:#333;
}
Everything was working fine till now. Bg of the button changes color if mouse is over the button.
I added z-index=-1 for the subdiv.
.subdiv {
position:relative;
z-index:-1;
}
After which hover was not working. So i used Firefox Inspector tool to capture the element when mouse is over the button and it was capturing 'div.maindiv'.
So i thought of adding z-index=-2 for the maindiv after which it was capturing 'body'
Can some one tell me why it is happening?
Is there any specific reason you are adding z-index: -1 to the subdiv element? Because, adding that to the subdiv is going to place it 'below' the maindiv and body and you wont be able to click on it as a result. The maindiv will cover it so the hover and click event will be not captured by subdiv.
Similarly, making maindiv have z-index: -2 will cause the body element to cover it in the stacking order and therefore again the button will not be clicked.
If you give the body element a position: relative; z-index: -3;, then the button can be clicked by the above logic.
From w3 schools z-index
The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element.
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.

So I have this Div that has a roll over effect on it where it changes the border color on roll over, in order to make this div a link I've put a link into the DIV and given it a Display: Block property so it fills the div.
What I'm having an incredibly hard time doing is getting the text to align to the bottom left corner of this div while keeping the blocking so the whole roll over area stays a link.
ANY solutions to this problem I'd greatly appreciate, thanks for your help in advance I've been battling this for a while.

To align something to the bottom, one can set the position to absolute and bottom to 0px. This will align it to bottom of the first parent that is positioned either absolute or relative.
In your case, set the position of the DIV to relative, the position of the link to absolute and the bottom of the link to 0px:
http://jsfiddle.net/rodin/jxyZz/
And by the way, you can achieve the rollover effect with pure CSS, see the fiddle. If you want to make the entire box a link, the box should be an A and the text a DIV (you did it the other way around).
You could add an additional span element that will positioned a the bottom of the link. Note you could create the hover effect in css as well: http://jsfiddle.net/Te23c/

a{
width: 200px;

I'm currently trying to make a div that is 100% as wide as the whole screen. And I did it by writing the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>100% width</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<style type="text/css">
html,body {
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
width:100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="background-color:yellow;">
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
</div>
</body>
</html>
It works fine in normal zoom settings but when I do max zoom in (FireFox 6.0.2) the letters inside the div outgrows the yellow box. Is there a way for the yellow box to extend to the end of the window as well?
Thanks.
You can force the really long word to wrap with:
word-wrap: break-word;
in your div style.
Does it really matter what happens at maximum zoom though?
Option 1
If you want to keep the text within the yellow box try adding this CSS styling.
div {word-wrap: break-word;}
It will cause the text to go to the next line rather than continue.
Option 2
OR you could try hiding the content that goes past the div border using CSS styling
div {overflow:hidden;}
I have a problem positioning some text in google chrome, I am trying to position
"Get Directions" and "Contact" side by side. This works fine in IE,Firefox and Opera but not Chrome. I know I should probably use floats but does anyone have any idea why isn't this working correctly?
(CSS)
#main_container2{
background-color: white;
position:relative;
left: 0%;
top:0%;
width:950px;
height:985px;
font-family:arial;
font-size:36pt;
}

<font style="position:relative;top:5%;left:56%;">Contact</font><br>
</div>

You use:
<font style="position:absolute;top:5%;left:6%;">Get Directions</font><p></p>
<font style="position:relative;top:5%;left:56%;">Contact</font><br>
First element position: absolute and second element position: relative
Just set the both to absolute or relative
PS
I would have made it into a ul and li's
And either use float or display inline
First off, you don't need the left and top arguments on the main-container div, by default a positioned element is anchored top left.
To fix your problem though, you should try switching the second font tags position to absolute. Since the parent has a position (defined or not) the children's position will be within the parents container. Since you are trying to put them side by side, you should use position absolute on both elements.
I'm trying to make a page with an image meant for being loaded in an iframe. But there is 4px of space at the bottom of the body tag that I can't seem to get rid of. Heres my simplified source:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body, a, head, img
{ margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
border-width: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a><img src="http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/portals.jpg"></a>
</body>
</html>
You'll notice if you shrink your window within 4 pixels of the bottom of the image, you'll get a scroll bar. Where the crap is that space coming from?
The image is placed on the base line of the text line that it's in. The space below the image is the distance between the base line and the bottom of the character cell, where there is space for hanging characters like g and j. With the default font and font size of your browser that happens to be four pixels, you will get slightly different results in other browsers.
One solution is to make the image a block element, that way it's not part of a text line, and doesn't have a space below the base line. The anchor tag is an inline element and it can't have a block element inside it, so to make the elements make sense after the style is applied you have to make the anchor tag a block element also:
a, img { display: block; }
(To make the code valid XHTML you would also need a block element outside the anchor tag, the body tag can't contain inline elements directly. Making the anchor tag a block element using style doesn't help, the structure has to be valid also before the style is applied.)
All browsers come with default styles. Although you are resetting your tags for the page, there's no such tag as image in your CSS.
I suggest using a more global reset stylesheet. I like the one from Eric Meyer. Something as simple as this can help level the playing field between browsers.
replace image with img on your style
Put your "a" and "img" tag inside a div like this
<div><a><img src="http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/portals.jpg"></a></div>
This is a follow-on to hallie's answer, here is a full working example that has been updated in a number of ways to make it actually XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant as well as not showing the spaces. Make sure NOT to introduce whitespace after the </a>

All Internet browsers have a small bit of padding they add to the pages themselves. One surefire way to get rid of it is to simply nuke all margin and padding from every element.
*
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
Of course, this will remove margin and padding form every element on your pages, so use this with caution, overriding this default whenever you need padding and margin (every other selector has a higher priority than this global one, so it's easy to do).
Can we give width and border to <body> and use in place of Container div? see this example
see source code of this file and code of file is also perfectly W3C valid. and looking same in IE 7 and firefox 3.5.

Your example answers your question! Body is a block element like any other. It has width, height, padding, margin and border properties.
Note that it is essential that the page is rendered in strict, rather than quirks, mode to be able to treat the body element as a block-level element; otherwise it is treated as the documentElement and all bets are off. – NickFitz
Then can we use body in place of #container div? – Jitendra
Nice theory. Shame about Microsoft. – David Dorward
#Jitendra: you can, but be thorough with your cross-browser testing, particularly when it comes to scrolling :-) – NickFitz
What is the difference between viewport and body? – Jitendra
the viewport is the visible area of the browser window which displays the document. The body is an element in the document. In quirks mode, the body will also be treated as the documentElement: that is, the root node of the document, which will fill the window, and if necessary will be able to be scrolled. In strict mode, the html element will be treated as the documentElement, and the body will be a child of that. As an experiment, change your test page by adding the style rule html { background-color: #00f; } - you will see that the html element contains the `body' – NickFitz
