I'm new to css and stuck and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. But I would like to have the foot show as three columns. If you look at the image layout and notice the footer has three columns well that's the i'm trying to achieve. Also the footer dotted lines show past the layout.
Here is my layout: http://gdisinc.com/barker/images/menubar/layout_barker.jpg
Here is the working site: http://www.gdisinc.com/barker/default.php#
Could you tell me what I have to do to fix it. Let me know if you have any questions?
The reason why the third <ul> goes down is because you have an extra 1px of border (border-right: 1px dotted #FFFFFF;).
The way you did it was having a 900px container and divide it into 3 columns. That's correct.
But once you added an extra border-right: 1px dotted #FFFFFF;, the column width become 301px (300px width + 1px border = 301px).
To solve this, either you make change the container size into 903px. Or you reduce the width size into 299px.
The other problem about
the footer dotted lines show past the layout.
Be careful with padding. When you add padding inside a div. It is counted as extra width.
Some part of your CSS for <ul> is:
width:902px;
padding:20px;
The total width is 902px (width) + 20px (left padding) + 20px (right padding) = **942px**
To fix this, you change the padding at your <ul> by using padding:20px 0px;. The first value represents top & bottom padding, the second value represents left & right padding.
2 solutions
increase width of the content
.content {
width: 903px;
}
or remove border of the last ul in content
.content ul:last-child {
border-right: 0;
}
add this css
.content {
padding:20px 0;
}
#footer ul {
margin: 0 0 0 20px;
width: 275px;
height:120px;
}
also add a class to last ul and add this
.last {
border:none;
}
better do this as suggested by Emrah
.content ul:last-child {
border-right: 0;
}
Your columns don't fit enough in a parent. Set style="border:none;" for the last column.

I wrote in parenthesis and in all caps, the things I am confused about in my homework instructions.
This is my homework instructions:
On the first line of your "main.css" file create a comment that reads "general". Under that comment write the following
Using the universal selector set the margin and padding to zero for all elements. We are doing this to eliminate all the default margin and padding that the browsers add.
Add the css line from the templates page (on the course website) that groups some selectors and sets them all to "display block".
Skip one line and write a comment that reads "wrapper". Under that comment write a css id of "wrapper" and add the following properties.
Give it a width of 1024px
Give it a margin property with the values of 0 and auto (margin: 0 auto centers the page on the browser window. We have to have a width to allow it to show that it is centered.)
Skip one line and write a comment that reads "main".
Put a border of 1px solid #000 around the left, right bottom of the main element.
(NOT SURE IF I DID THIS PORTION CORRECTLY ^)
Add a padding of 10px to the main element. We add a padding so the content will not butt up against the edge of the main element
Using a contextual selector select all the images within the divisional element with the id of "images" and set each image height to 90px, width to 120px and a margin of 20px around the image. We are using CSS to resize our images.
(NOT SURE HOW TO WRITE A CONTEXTUAL SELECTOR TO SELECT ALL THE IMAGES WITH THE DIV ELEMENT WITH THE ID of "images")
This is what I have created but am not sure if it is correct:
/* general */
Using the universal selector set the margin and padding to zero for all elements. We are doing this to eliminate all the default margin and padding that the browsers add.
*{margin: 0; padding: 0;}
article, aside, figure, footer, header, main, menu, nav, section {display: block;}
<style>
/* wrapper */
#wrapper {width: 1024px; margin: 0 auto; }
/* main */
main{border-left: solid 1px #000; border-bottom: solid 1px #000; border-right: solid 1px #000; padding: 10px; }
div images, #images {height: 90px; width: 120px; margin: 20px; }
</style>
The wording in your homework is incredibly poor, but what I believe you're looking for is to target all elements with an ID of images contained within a DIV. This would be:
div #images {
height: 90px;
width: 120px;
margin: 20px;
}
This will target any element with the ID of images inside any DIV, even if there is an element in between them (such as <div><span><img id="images"></span></div>). Note that you can also target direct descendants with >. div > #images will target <div><img id="images"></div>, but not <div><span><img id="images"></span></div>.
Keep in mind that having multiple elements on the page with the same ID is invalid markup, and the page will fail to validate correctly. The only situation where this would be valid is if your teacher is meaning to have a single element called #images on multiple different pages. You should use classes for targeting multiple elements on the same page. It's possible your teacher meant for you to use a class, which would be div .images.
As for your border, you have done it correctly, though note that you can set all four borders at once with the shorthand border:
main {
border: solid 1px #000;
padding: 10px;
}
Also, keep in mind that your second line should also be in a comment, or else it will throw a syntax error:
/*Using the universal selector set the margin and padding to zero for all elements. We are doing this to eliminate all the default margin and padding that the browsers add.*/
Hope this helps! :)
Hi i will try to answer this the best that i can, i am only a programming student so this is my best shot :)
First of all, id's has to be unique you cant have two identical id's on the same page.
If you have etc
<div id="test"></div>
<div id="test"></div>
And you try to style it like #test{background-color: red} only the last div will actually have a red background.
But basically this is what he wants:
/*--GENERAL--*/
*{
margin:0;
padding: 0;
}
/*--WRAPPER--*/
#wrapper{
width: 1024px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
/*--MAIN--*/
main{
border-left: 1px solid #000;
padding: 10px;
}
div #images img{
height: 90px;
width: 120px;
margin: 20px;
}
Examples of contextual selector
I hope this will help you with your programming journey! :)
I have a div tag in which i have other controls. I have given a border to the div through css. I want the div tag to wrap itself around the controls and auto adjust its own size.
.divwrap
{
width: 60%;
height: 60%;
border: 1px solid #66CCFF;
vertical-align:middle;
margin-left:150px;
margin-right:300px;
}
Now in the above code I have fixed margins. So if I were to use the same style for a div tag on another page, it would be problem because the controls (inside the div) on another page may be more or less in no. I want the div tag to be like a rubber band that can auto adjust the size when wrapped around something (in this case, an html table with controls).
is this achievable? if yes, how??
if you want to make a wrapper keep these things in mind
try not to give it a static dimension.
don't give any width and height, as it is going to be a little larger than the content over which it is applied
give percentage value margin and padding:
try this:
.divwrap
{
padding:3%;
display:inline-block;
margin:3%;
border: 1px solid #66CCFF;
vertical-align:middle;
width:auto;
position:relative;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
}
see this fiddle.
so now, no matter what the width and height of the child div is, this div will always wrap around it.
I made a template with 2 columns with CSS like this picture.
The main div is main. It has 2 dives inside itself. DIV sider has a background-image. And I want to show it always. Now, I have 2 problems. First, it does not cover height of screen by default unldess I set a min-height=... for it. Second, if I do it, after scrolling the page, the background images won't repeat to cover whole of screen height.
html {
margin:0 0 0 0;
height: 100%
}
body {
font-family:Arial;
font-size:9pt;
color:#333333;
line-height:200%;
margin:0 0 0 0;
background: #f0f0f0 url('../images/bg-radial-gradient.gif') fixed 230px top no-repeat;
width:100% !important;
height: 100%
}
#main {
width:100%;
min-height: 100%
}
#sidebar {
width:231px !important;
float:left;
background-image:url('../images/sidebar_bg.PNG');
min-height: 100%;
}
#container {
float:left;
padding:25px 25px 25px 25px;
width:70%;
min-height: 100%
}
What's the problem?
Edit: This is my backgroun image
Try this - DEMO 1 : Unwanted white space
The additional space in the bottom is because of your padding:25px; ( Same as padding:25px 25px 25px 25px;).There's an extra top padding + bottom padding which is givin your div additional 50px.
If you do not want that additional space - Try this => DEMO 2 : without the white space
You can replicate the same effects of top and border 25px with this:
padding:0 25px;
margin:25px 0;
To avoid that extra unwanted space.
Edit:
The additional space is caused by the margin:25px 0;, if you remove it - you wont have that extra space.check this
DEMO 3 Removing unwanted space caused by Margin
Edit 2 :
Your problem is a well documented problem - Matching Columns Problem. There are loads of solutions you can try, here are a few :
1) javascript
2) Alter the Image (Hacky)
3) Pure CSS
My fav => Option 2
I havnt personally explored the last one,but try it out.. :)
Hope it helps..
I have such Layout structure:
1) First lays SimpleLayoutPanel main (green border)
2) I'd like to add DockLayoutPanel child to main (red border; 25px margins)
I have implemented this, but result, shown in attachment (.jpg), is strange for me.
So, all red (top, left, right, bottom) borders of child should be inside main, but child panel shifts. How can I implement this logic in a right way? I have more complex ui structure with 3-4 level. And I also dont work without margins.
And here it is code and css:
SimpleLayoutPanel panel = new SimpleLayoutPanel();
panel.setStyleName("mainModulePanel");
SimpleLayoutPanel p = new SimpleLayoutPanel();
p.setStyleName("moduleBody");
panel.setWidget(p);
initWidget(panel);
//CSS
.moduleBody {
/*width: 100%;
height: 100%;*/
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 3px solid red;
}
.mainModulePanel {
/*margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;*/
border: 3px solid green;
}
This has to do with the html definition for the border!
Let me explain it with an example.
Your DockLayoutPanel is 500x500px. You put a child element with 100x100% into it, where the margin, padding and border are 0px. Your element will have a size of 500x500px. No you give it border of 3px. This means that to the height and width 3px are added. So your element has a size of 506x506px.
The overflow is ignored.
The result is your second picture.
This is correct html behavior and has nothing to do with GWT!
I've solved the problem by removing 100% height and width .moduleBody CSS.
So, to avoid such situation u shouldn't size child element by 100% height and width.
Thanks guys!
I have 3 divs all floated left. I want to set the second div and third div to specific sizes (based on pixels or percentages) and the first div to simply take up the rest of the space.
Additionally at runtime depending on the user's privileges one of the specific sized divs might not be displayed. I need the first div to take up the space left over.
How can I do this?
You can use display:table property for like :
.parent{
width:100%;
display:table;
}
.fill{
border: 3px solid green;
display:table-cell;
}
.fixed{
width: 100px;
border: 3px solid blue;
display:table-cell;
}

It's not work in IE7 & below.
But check this it's work in all browsers:
