I am new to CSS, I found an layout online, but I have a little problem customizing it.
When the content of mainContent div is "higher" then the left menu, everything is working ok - but when the mainContent is smaller, it looks like this:
The div order is visible through Firefox WebDevelopper addon. The .css file is as follows:
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#container {
padding-right: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
#header {
}
#mainMenu {
border: 1px solid #808080;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
#pageBody {
position: relative;
}
#sidebar {
width: 250px;
padding: 5px 10px 10px 10px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #808080;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-right: 10px;
min-height: 500px;
}
.mainContent {
text-align: justify;
min-width: 400px;
min-height: 500px;
margin-left: 285px;
}
#footer {
font-size: 0.8em;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
text-align: center;
color: #CCCCCC;
background-color: #333333;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0;
/*clear: both;*/
}
#footer p {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
#footer a {
color: #CC3300;
text-decoration: none;
}
#footer a:hover {
color: #FF9900;
}
Can I please ask for some guidance in repairing this layout? I would like to acheive something similar to:
The exact position is not important, I just want the footer to be placed below the pageBody div.
I would be grateful for any help.
I don't know what your html looks like, but it looks like you could try inserting a clearing div just before the footer... btw, why is the 'clear: both;' commented out in the footer css rule?
code to insert just before the footer div:
<div style="clear: both;"/>
Not positive whether it will help, but if I understand your problem correcty, this is my best guess!
Try changing pageBody to:
#pageBody {
float: left;
clear: both;
}

I want to centralise a button or a tag within the line it is on (by themselves).
I've written this CSS which makes it yellow, puts a border around it etc but it is always left aligned. How do I centralise it?
a.butt, button.butt {
border: 1px solid #ffff01;
background-color: transparent;
height:50px;
cursor:pointer;
padding-left: 40px;
padding-right: 40px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
color: #ffff01;
}
Thanks for your help
several ways to do this, but maybe
a.butt, button.butt {
border: 1px solid #ffff01;
background-color: transparent;
height:50px;
cursor:pointer;
padding-left: 40px;
padding-right: 40px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
color: #ffff01;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: ??px;
}
will do the trick.
You can do it by adding text-align:center; to parent <div>
Example here https://jsfiddle.net/uy4u781d/
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:150px; //width as you want
display:block;
I'm learning how to code Wordpress themes currently, and I'm having trouble centering my navigation menu. It moves too far to the right. I have included an image to illustrate the problem with the code that I have presented.
Here is a link to a screenshot of the problem: http://i59.tinypic.com/8z1m2o.png
body {
font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #333;
}
a:link,
a:visited {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
p {
line-height: 14px;
}
/* General Layout */
div.container{
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
article.post {
border-bottom: 1px solid #bbbbbb;
}
article.post:last-of-type{
border-bottom: none;
}
/* Header */
.site-header {
border-bottom: 2px solid #999;
padding-top: 10px;
}
/* Footer */
.site-footer {
margin-top: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #999;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
/* Navigation */
.site-nav {
position: fixed;
left:50%;
}
.site-nav ul{
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.site-nav ul li{
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
overflow:hidden;
text-decoration: none;
margin-right: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
border-right: 1px solid #DDD;
}
.site-nav ul li:last-of-type {
border-right: none;
}
.site-nav has position: fixed, left: 50% so the left side of the element will be positioned in the middle of the screen. Remove this rule or give the element margin-left: -X where X is equal to half of .site-nav's width if you must use fixed positioning.
.site-nav {
width: 100%
position: fixed;
margin: 0;
}
.site-nav ul{
position: relative;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
I'm not really a champ when it comes to CSS, so I was hoping I could get some assistance.
Right now I got one parent div with two child divs. Currently, whenever I resize the browser, the two divs overlap each other. I want the left div to be visible at all times.
It can be viewed in action over here: http://unlimitedbrettworks.com/forums/
CSS:
#header {
position: relative;
height: 140px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #E1E1E1; }
#logo a {
overflow: hidden;
float: right;
width: 620px !important;
height: 190px !important;
cursor: pointer;
background: url(../images/art/logo.png) no-repeat;
}
#userarea {
float: left;
margin: 0 1em;
padding: 1.5em 1em 0 1em;
text-align: left;
font-size: 0.95em;
width: 38em;
color: #313131;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
line-height: 130%;
}
#userarea a:link, #userarea a:visited {
color: #333333;
}
#userarea a:hover {

text-decoration: underline;
}
#header {

}
#userarea {

margin: 0 1em;
padding: 1.5em 1em 0 1em;
text-align: left;
font-size: 0.95em;
width: 38em;
color: #313131;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
line-height: 130%;
height: 122px; /* is value is the height min the padding you use.*/
}
#userarea a:link, #userarea a:visited {
color: #333333;
}
#userarea a:hover {
color: #800000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
That is the first problem. The second is on line 128 in your css file.
div#wrapper
{
margin: 0 auto;
min-width: 764px;
max-width: 2300px;
border: 10px solid #333333;
}
Needed to be:
div#wrapper
{
margin: 0 auto;
min-width: 1024px;
max-width: 2300px;
border: 10px solid #333333;
}
I went to your site, and played with Chrome's inspector, and found an answer.
Try adding these properties to #userarea:
#userarea {
position: absolute;
background-color: #E1E1E1;
height: 100%;
}
Hope this helps
Sorry, I didn't get your question... in the page you linked the #userarea div is always visible even if you resize the window.
To see the #logo div entirely, remove the 'height ' attribute from the parent div #header and it will go on a new line if the window is not large enough.
I' cant for the life of me figure out why the div "book_button" won't display at the bottom of the page, above the footer. I have a main wrapper div, and then there is a content div. I've placed the book_button in a relative position outside the content div. In the dream weaver design window it's showing it where I want it to be. When I view it in a browser it diplays like so
http://kerrydean.ca/GreyRiver/fly_fishing.html
here is the css
#Wrapper {
margin-top:0;

background-color: #ebebeb;

#book_button{

margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;

I figured it out.
I put the book_button div right before the footer. I made the width 100%, position:relative and add a float:left
thanks anyway!
1) Make #Wrapper position:relative
2) make #book_button position:absolute, set bottom:40px;right:200px;
This probably isn't best practice, but you could use the top style property to push the button down where you want it. It looks like the content of your page is static, meaning that button isn't going to need to position itself dynamically each time the page loads. So, a hard coded value to position it may work for you.
I took your current view source and just changed the #book_button back to relative and it displays in between the footer and the content. Change that back to relative as absolute will not work.
I am not very good at this I know some but I am having some issues with my CSS I can not figure out.
My mainContent ID overlaps with under my Sidebar ID. I am sure I messed up my css trying to fix this but I have no idea how to fix t his. I have changed things so many times I have become lost.
Any help would be nice.

Make sure you specify a width on BOTH the .fltrt and .fltlft columns
Your css should look like this:
/** Assuming the parent element (container) is 940px wide **/
.fltlft {
float: left;
width: 540px;
}
.fltrt {
float: right;
width: 380px;
}
Also, make sure you replace/remove **y** with .y and remove that unused **font** attribute.
Not sure what's happening as there isn't a visual on whats actually happening.
.twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, {
Just remove the , and all should be good
The bottom there is a few errors.
.twoColHybLtHdr #table {
**font:**
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
color: #FFF;
**y** background-color: #8B0000;
; background-color: #A00;
border: #A00;
}
I'm guessing it should be more like
.twoColHybLtHdr #table {
font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
color: #FFF;
.y{
background-color: #8B0000;
background-color: #A00;
border: #A00;
}
Take the float right off of the container
put a float left on the main content
add a div after the main content that clears both.
.twoColHybLtHdr #container {
width: 80%;
background: #CFF;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 2px solid #A00;
text-align: left;
border-color: #A00;
******** removed Float:right;
}
.twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 {
float: left;
width: 210px; ****** Change this to pixels unless you are specifying the font-size as !important otherwise you could have problems with this width scaling unintentionally.
background: #006633;
padding: 5px 0;
background-color: #D4DFAA;
border: #A00;
}
.twoColHybLtHdr #mainContent {
margin: 5px 20px ;
padding-left: 15px;
color: #000;
float: left; ****** Added float left to mesh it with your sidebar float right would work as well but wouldn't mesh it with your floated sidebar.
}
*********** add another div after your mainContent and assign it the ID="clear"
.twoColHybLtHdr #clear {
clear: left;
}
There are some other errors in your css but I think these are the ones where you are having your problems.
