Hi Barrett, While that is certainly one possible solution: a) We're already using a (not very good) CMS, and I don't think it will allow me to specify class names according to odd/even order. To clarify, I *want* to allow people to swap the order of boxes, and I *would like* it if they didn't have to manually edit a class name when they do that. b) Regardless of back-end process, I still think this is a valid requirement: i.e. to display a series of boxes in a column layout which can be reordered with minimum effort, with nice clean markup.

Re: [css-d] Two background images on the {body}
Well I have my background image, but to the right of the browser there
is white space, I want to fill in, which is why I asked.

Can you have two background images on the {body} ? and position them?
No, you can only have one background image per element.
What exactly is the effect you are going for?
You can, for instance, have a background image for the body that is
positioned like:
body {background-image: url(http://www.foo.com/image-left.gif);
background-position: left top; background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;}
And then have a wrapper div like:
div#bodydiv {background-image: url(http://www.foo.com/image-right.gif) ;
background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position-x: right;
background-position-y:top; width:100%; height:100%;}

Re: [css-d] form can't be placed where I want it
Just as a tip - it's probably best to specify the where you want it part of your question. Since we don't know what's in your head or on your sketch pad. :-) But I'm guessing you're just wanting it below the navbar. I think you might need to change the register div margin-top to just top Since you've declared that as absolutely placed, you then need to tell it where to be. There is no placement info there except absolute. You need to give it a where. I think that's what's going on. Others on here can verify my thoughts or dispel them. Chris A.

Looks like IE6 has lost track of where the many 'position: relative'
involved should go, and ends up with a dead in the water position for
#mygallery.
I don't have a sensible explanation for IE6' behavior, but adding...
#content {position: relative;}

I have put what I am trying to achieve on the server, now to break up
the problems in two different questions:
Link to page: http://www.walkfar.ca/main3.html
A) *CSS Roll Over*
-= You will see a giant image and three smaller circles these smaller
circles is where I want the roll over to be which will be links to other
parts of the pages or another page how can I achieve this in CSS ?
B) *Two background images on the {body}*
-= Two background images on the {body} you will see white space to the
right of your browser I want to fill this with a image how can this be done?
*NOTE*: I am using /dreamweaver /so if it can be explained on how to do
this in /DW/ as well as code it would be benificial to me.

I would also suggest the image to the left and text to the right, or text under the image and the image centered, though that might lead to other changes in your layout.

Christopher, do you mean Jens? :-) Jens Nedal wrote: christopher wrote: ok, I'm not a designer or an artist, but I would think the graphic needs to be to the left of the rollovers and underneath the introductory paragraph.

Other than that, I think it's a great looking page I agree with Christopher here. The art should be in the foreground, not the textual explanation. The text is the interpretation of the artist, but that is not the same as what the onlooker will see. Let the one seeing the picture decide first what he feels about it and explain afterwards! I would also suggest the image to the left and text to the right, or text under the image and the image centered, though that might lead to other changes in your layout. Otherwise i like typhgraphy, line-height and spacing. Text seems unobtrusive against the art. regards, Jens __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Chris,
does this get you any closer to what you want to see.
I have sliced a part of your background image and applied it to a wrapper
div, it fills the screen in the x direction using repeat-x.
Then your original image sits on top of that.

No they are not free. http://www.vbulletin.com/ http://www.ubbcentral.com/ http://www.photopost.com/ The last one doesn't appear to be forum software, but a photo gallery that integrates with a forum. I would not necessarily agree that these are the main players though. vBulletin is definitely up there, and is a great package, if a bit overpriced, IMO. phpBB is quite a bit more common than UBB.threads, and from what I've seen, with version 3, it's probably more capable than UBB.threads, too. From what I've seen, I'd say that phpBB 3 is probably the most feature-filled and capable of the _free_ forum software packages out there. It also has a large community of developers making mods and themes for it, which would be useful both for improving the forum's capabilities AND for getting help with questions that Patrick might come up with that fall outside this email list's scope. As for a bigger picture of the available forum choices, here are lots of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(ASP) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_internet_forum_software_(other) There are numerous choices at all price levels. phpBB appears relatively easy to modify themes for, adding whatever styling you'd like, though I haven't done much of it myself. It's basically like designing a website, but it's more modular, and the appropriate keywords need to be in place to plug the content in. I recently did something similar with WordPress, where I basically took an existing website and copied/pasted the appropriate parts into a basic WP theme, and made some semi-minor changes to the CSS file.

Re: [css-d] Creating a forum
Yeh photopost is a photogallery - thought I'd throw that in there not knowing the extent of his project since it is made to integrate and has a proven record of heavy usage http://www.photopost.com/ sitesphp.html I don't have a list handy anymore, but a few years back when I researched these forums I consistently found them being used on very heavily trafficked sites. To me that was trial by fire as those sites most assuredly would not mess around with something that wasn't working at high usage levels. For free phpbb does look really darn good, but depending on the project I lean towards a paid product with paid support to make sure the job gets done right and on schedule. I look forward to hearing and seeing a fully css based forum project.

Re: [css-d] Hidding text behind a graphic
My immediate thought would be:
h1 a { position: relative; height: 62px; }
h1 a img { position: absolute; top: 0; background-color: inherit; }
BUT, you might want to test that under different browsers and/or wait for
further responses, because I'm not an expert on all of IE's idiosyncrasies. As
far as I can tell, though, that's according to spec.
Bear in mind that this will 'fail' when text size is increased, although other
elements of your design do that anyway.

Chris,
Unless we all come round to your house we can only experiment with what
you give us in the way of published files.
If you look at the code on the example I posted you will see that the
#wrapper is a div that encloses the other items on the page.
The thin slice that I took from the tight hand side of your
backgroundforpage10.png is used to repeat across the page to take care of
any whitespace that is not covered by your large image.
Whatever the mock up image is that you want on the right side, it needs to
be published as a part of the page.
Don't forget, it is only when you publish the files to a server that we
can see them.

Re: [css-d] Two background images on the {body}
Hi Christopher,
you've come through off-list but no matter, only problem is that anyone
else following the thread won't know of any changes.
First off, you mustn't lose sight of the fact that no-one can see changes
that you make to your local files. They must be published to a server for
anyone to be able to suggest modifications or corrections.
As I can't see your mock-up image, I'll go back to the code that I
published as a demo and explain a little of that. I'll put notes in
standard comment notation so it doesn't screw up if you view it in
Dreamweaver.

/div
/div
p class=backgnbsp;/p
pnbsp;/p/div !-- This is where the wrapper div ends, you will see
that it encloses all of the other items on the page --
/body
/html
Your HTML and CSS must be capable of working along with each other, the
HTML provides the structure of the page and the 'hooks' to attach the
relevant CSS rules.
Taken in isolation, neither will provide very much, so simply taking my
#wrapper rules may not have had too big an effect.
I have attached the 2 modified image files so you can experiment with them
rather than try to download them from my demo page.
I did not make any changes inside your main CSS file and for now I would
suggest setting up all of your css rules in the head area of the page so
you can experiment more easily.
Once you get fixed with your image layout you should take a deeper look at
your css in the file, things like setting pixel heights for text are not
generally considered good practice and a line height of 2px is not good.
These are items that may give you problems as your page progresses so
worth taking care of as soon as your images are sorted out.

[css-d] Tables display problem in Firefox but not IE
Hello, I'm reworking a website that someone else created, and have been banging my head against the wall a bit with it. What happens is that the tables (that were laid out with images and rowspans) display fine in IE but not FireFox. FireFox puts a huge blank space between the first row of the page and the body content. The problem is that almost 25% of our users are using FireFox. Can someone please suggest how I could go about fixing this? You can see what I'm talking about by viewing this page (or the entire site, for that matter) in both IE and FireFox: http://www.er-mag.com/test.html http://www.PubCon.com/redirect.cgi?f=21d=3682011url=http://www.er-mag.com /test.html Thank you, Ian __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Modifying CSS for specific browsers
Okay I'm punting to you guys but sure as the world, 60 seconds after
I send this I'll find the answer.
There are characters I can add to my CSS which are browser-specific,
i.e., read only by Safari or IE6 for instance but I can't find a
listing of them. I'm not talking about conditional style sheets but
rather something like this:
#footer {
margin:0;
padding:0 20px;
_padding:0 10px;-- picked up only by IE6
background-color:#3f3f72;
color:#fff;
}
Anyone care to offer me a reference where I can see what markup to
use for different browsers? Also, while we're at it, is this approach
any better/worse than a conditional style sheet?
Thanks,
-Tim
