[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

Maybe the replies to my post will help you. My post has the subject
Anchor offset ? I don't know if you have been following the list or
just joined to ask your question. My post is recent, last few days. I
think you can get to the archives from one of those URLs above in the
list's auto signature. Sorry I have been on the list very long so I
don't have a direct URL to the archives.

The center column expansion is problematic and for the time being, at 
least, it may be beneficial to hold an overall fixed width. This is at 
980px and quick checked only: IE 6/7/8, Chrome, Safari, SeaMonkey, and 
Firefox. Note revison of both css and the markup.

I hope it will help get you started toward what you want..

 Thanks Dave, it helped  a colored header is better, as did a link I 
 got off an earlier reply
 Margins aren't perfect yet but page moves the way I want with an 
 expanding center div. Firefox and Chrome look decent so far. Now I 
 have lost the images in container div on IE6. Opera still has a 
 completely active container div with mouseover.. Got any ideas on those?
 Ken



What say we just send this to the list and ask their opinion?  Other 
people on the list may wish to contribute their thoughts. I just try to 
cope with really simple stuff.  Questions of more profound  and complex 
matter may be best dealt with by others better qualified than me ...

Best,
~d
