 Help Noobie Help
Help. Im new to CSS and HTML, i already know the basics, and now have moved onto coding my own site. Right now, im trying to code this layout i made, but its just not working so far.
here's the CSS code:
Code:
.body {
background: url(images/bg.gif);
font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
color: #333333;
}
.content {
background: url(images/content.gif);
height: 503px;
width: auto;
}
Im trying to make the content get on top of the bg, but its not working. im also trying to make it fluid.
Here's the HTML:
Code:
<head>
<title>ValKros The Best Design Ever</title>
<link href="global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="body">
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thank You. If you dont understand what i mean, ask, and ill try to sum it up for you. Thank You.

You need to make the classes id's and change the . to # . Just my thoughts, but this shouldn't change what you need help with, I haven't looked into that :O

If you are using
Code:
<div class="body"></div>
As the background of the page, you don't need to - Just use
Code:
body {
background: url(images/bg.gif);
font-family: arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
color: #333333;
}
That will style the body without the need to put in in a div.
So just remove the
Code:
<div class="body"></div>
If you are using [code]<div class="body"></div> as some other background, you need to use positioning; absolute, relative or floats. I myself use floats.
What happens is that a div is a box element, and will automatically place it's self below another div. By using
this allows another div to 'float' (or sit next to the) left of it.
Hope this helps.

Holds all the elements together and gives it a fixed width so it won't change on resize.

Code:
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
All your other divs in here
</div>
Code:
CSS
#wrapper {
width:780px; (change to your prefered width)
margin:0 auto; (this gives marign top and bottom 0px; and center aligns it horizontally)
}

He called his a wrapper, but you can call it what you want. In this case he is referring to a container.
