[css-d] text near bottom of div?

2011-06-22 Thread Koen van der Drift
Hi,

I have a background image for my header (banner), and would like to
put some text in the bottom right corner of the image. I can't figure
out how to align the text near the bottom of the picture (or header
div).

See below for the html and css I am using now.



My website
Isn't it awesome?


#header
{
   background:url('my_banner.jpg') no-repeat;
}

# header h1 h2
{
   text-align: right;
}


Thanks,

- Koen.

[css-d] HTMLdog website / Son of Suckerfish

2011-06-27 Thread Koen van der Drift
Hi,

I was trying to look at a tutorial about drop down menu's from
http://www.htmldog.com (called Son of Suckerfish), but all I get are
403 errors (Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this
server).

Is this website still active, and if not, is there another place where
I can find the Son of Suckerfish info?

[css-d] nav bar: how to move one item all the way to the right?

2011-07-23 Thread Koen van der Drift
Hi,

I have a working nab bar and want to move the right most item all the way to 
the right. I tried the following:



….  [insert links here]
allright



nav ul 
{
margin: 0;  /* reset */
padding: 0; /* reset */
list-style-type: none;  /* no bullets */
overflow: hidden;   
}

nav li 
{
display: inline;
float: left;
}


nav a.rightitem
{
float: right;
}



But that doesn't do what I am looking for.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

- Koen.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up solving it by taking the link out of the 
unordered list in the nav bar and position it manually at the right side.

[css-d] How to prevent the content to be wider than the header?

2012-10-07 Thread Koen van der Drift
I'm building a website using responsive design and HTML5 and would
like the content not to exceed the width of the banner in the header.

The banner was provided by the client, and I am using the following
code to implement it:

background: url("../images/banner.png") left no-repeat;

Now if the window becomes large, the text in the content becomes wider
than the banner on the right side.

If I use:

background: url("../images/banner.png") center no-repeat;

the banner gets cut on the left side if the window is small, and an
important section of it gets cut off, which I don't want to happen. I
already tried max-width for the content, but that doesn't work either.

How do I make sure that the content becomes not wider than the width
of the banner, preventing the banner gets cut on the left side?

- Koen.

After thinking a bit more about this, what I probably need to use is a
media query, that aligns the banner either to the left or in the
center based on the screen size.

By looking at the screenshot, one can assume they should all be lined up with

Actually, I am *not* looking for a  menu solution, I don't like those 
either. I now understand what you meant by those.

The examples in the link are nice, but unfortunately there is no code with it.

So back to my original question, how do I make a navigation menu appear using 
css? I'm not sure what you mean by "off canvas" approach?
