[css-d] Noob with float/div problems

2008-02-01 Thread Ken Davies
Hello and thanks for letting me join your group, although it's very 
intimidating for a novice.I am definitely not a hand coder, but I sure 
have changed a lot of code by hand. I built a table oriented image heavy 
website no CSS. I struggle to get to first base with CSS on my top 
banner, it should be simple- changing the text between my logo and a gif 
one of my rings. It is presently a fixed size table that I think should 
expand to the browser.
Original site   http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/index.htm  - Right now 
I am just worried about the top banner.
   http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/stylesheets/horsejewelry.css
Visually what works best is http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/test1.htm
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/stylesheets/test.css
This is what I want, the two large images are spacers for now till I get 
the top working. This code isn't good but displays well on IE5,6, 
Opera7,9 and Mozilla, even on old Netscape.
I think  http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/jewelry_horse.htm  is as 
close to proper as I can see. It even validates-but the banner doesn't 
layout properly.
   http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/stylesheets/test.css
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/test2.htm looks good  (alternate text 
only shows) but the right  image is dropped to low.
   http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/stylesheets/banner.css
I tried to keep this short but I keep wanting to cry. Can you please 
take a look at what I have done and offer some advise?
Thanks
Ken

[css-d] Noob with float/div problems

2008-02-01 Thread Ken Davies
Thank you for not laughing at me and for the very constructive advise. I 
will get back at it tonight.
Re -using h1,h2 tags. I tried that a few times but couldn't get the text 
to stay inside the images. Maybe with other
corrections it will work. Also the borders showing originally is because 
I was even more of a noob then.
I will persevere.
I even over thought "asking for help". It is less painful than I had 
been thinking.
Thanks again
Ken

[css-d] Noob with float/div problems

2008-02-03 Thread Ken Davies
Hello Arlen.
You wrote CSS for what I was hoping to accomplish
#banner { padding: 3px; text-align: center; width: 858px; height:  
53px; border: 3px double black;}
#banner img { float: right; }
#banner img#logo { float: left; }
#banner p { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-weight: bold; font-size: 110%;}
I will be trying to see what this does with some adjustments, thanks but please 
clarify
you show #banner each line. Is there a reason other than MY future reference?
Also if reference in a stylesheet is to an img should that preface the #name-ie 
img#name.
Thanks
Ken

Re: [css-d] Noob Float/div problem still

2008-02-14 Thread Ken Davies
I am probably asking it wrong but I am asking. Possibly a repeat post as 
I had html setting on email, sorry.
Please review and advise.
I have tried using h4, or p  for a line of text below the banner 
separating the menu and gallery. Listed in html as a div I get the line 
as separation but when
I link it to the style sheet for text align etc then I lose the rest. I 
also can't get the menu text to accept a the color gold
On  http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/untitled.htm  
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/mis/Arlen2.css
The image is only placed so I encounter and deal with problems-it will 
eventually be replaced.
On Unhovergallery
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/unhovergallery.htm
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/mis/bannergallery.css
The banner works for me. I want a line of text under it.
As h4 class still I lose the rest of the page, as a div I am holding it 
in place but not  getting the text aligning center. Menu is in gold, 
markers gone Great, but menu doesn't float all the way left.
I have been altering and retrying things but am stymied.
Ken

Arlen I have been reading and trying and have started over but you hit 
the nail on the head with your last comment.
I will deal with the others too. No offense taken. I got the first part 
working then ..
Thanks

[css-d] Help with center container

2010-05-10 Thread Ken Davies
Hello I am trying again to rebuild my website, older and it seems only a 
little wiser. In essence  three columns/boxes where center div expands 
and moves images.
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/horse_and%20equine_jewelry_for_equestrians.htm
 Page is valid css and validates html 4.01 strict. I want to rebuid site 
by using css to replace "gallery container" as needed. Trying also to
put div on right which I will use for "clearances or such". Ultimately 
will use the "more info" link in gallery container as a paypal  type link.
Main problem -Cross browser div with images buries under left nav menu 
and right div. I have tried and retried for many hours various position, 
float margins etc. Also the popup should be over top of the right "column"
Page shows what I want in Firefox (with the exception of the 
gallerycontainer getting lost under the menu, almost in IE6. In Opera 9 
complete gallery div is active. Google Chrome it is close.
I realize many people on this list are really up to date but my customer 
base is often remote and slower to update computers  etc so IE6 is still 
important to me. Also I  like some dark backgounds suggested in the 
past( black) but personnaly prefer the readability of the light background.
Thanks for taking a look
Ken

[css-d] My holy grail "galleries of Expanding div's" are almost there, IExplorer really messing with me

2010-05-14 Thread Ken Davies
Hello. I am still new to this even though I feel I have been trying a 
long time.My website is the only one I have done and I am not sure if I 
should separate these into two requests for help, for now here they are.
Both pages validate CSS2 and html 401 strict, menu left, expanding 
gallery with "html popups", and one has an expanding div on the right.
Both pages display well (not perfect yet) in Firefox, Opera 9, and 
Chrome, in 800X600 and 1024X768
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/horse_and_equine_jewelry_for_equestrians.htm
I have tried IE xplorer (6) hacking but really am getting nowhere. 
Gallery is floating center, I can't get it to move over to the menu and 
as well the rail div to move to the right. Also text in popup is 
vertical aligning.
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/UnHoverGallery.htm
IE xplorer 6 has top margin/padding issues for the gallery. The popups 
go way to high, bottom should be to bottom,
Any help is most gratefully appreciated.
Ken

[css-d] IE6 floating right div drops below container

2010-05-30 Thread Ken Davies
Page validates CSS and Html 401strict  
http://www.equestrian-jewelry.com/horse_rings.htm
I have been trying all sorts of variations of % width, max-width, px 
width of the right div (rail)
I have a gallery  with larger previews in the center with a div to the 
right (in FF and IE8) to accommodate  the preview.
In Ie6 the div is below the container div. One third of my Iexplorer 
traffic is Ie6
How can I get this div to stay right of the container div? Please?
A quick question my webstats show Mozilla 5  viewers more often than 
Firefox, (almost as often as Ie6). Is Moz 1.7.2 the same as it views OK 
there.
Thanks
Ken
