 Div tag trouble
Hi, im having some problems with the div tags on this
Example
when you resize your browser to 800x600 (ie or ff) and get the scroller and scroll down, my main wrapper div gets cut off, and the embeded div tags seem to sit on top of the wrapper. any idea how i can avoid this?

Asuming that the divs on the left are floating, use this:
Code:
<div style="clear: left;"></div>
put that just infront of the closing tag of your wrapper.

I believe you use 100% height. This means it will be 100% of the window height not 100% of the document height.

Bas, thanks but didnt work. I added your style to my main wrapper, but nothing happened.
Sysblnk, yea I set html,body to height="100%". this allows my wrapper (also set to height="100") to extend the full document height, which also containts a repeating background image.
So still, no luck

Wait hold on, Height "100%" ? You can't do that. You can only set width to 100%

Not sure if I made it clear..but thats your problem its not the solution. 100% height will only adjust to the window size.

yea, i set the following for my main 'wrapping' div
#center{
position:absolute;
left:50%;
width:404px;
margin-left:-200px;
height:100%;
background-image:url(./images/memxit-pillar.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
background-position:center;
height:100%;
}
|
what this does, is puts the #center div tag in the center regardless of the size of the browser window. It also has a repeating background image that needs to extend from top to bottom. If i take away the height:100%, the div collapses on itself, as it has nothing in it.
Maybe im going about doing that the wrong way?

#center{
position:absolute;
left:50%;
width:404px;
margin-left:-200px;
height:100%;
background-image:url(./images/memxit-pillar.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
background-position:center;
height:100%;
}
}
|
first off you have height as 100% twice, and a tip on making your code shorter
Code:
#center {
position: absolute;
left:50%;
width:404px;
margin-left:-200px;
height:100%;
background: url(./images/memxit-pillar.gif) repeat-y center;
}
unfortunately I am not very experienced in css to help, but I do know from experience a lot of my errors were simply from syntax errors so make sure to validate your code before thinking its all wrong.

i seem to have figured out what was causing this to happen. using the 'position:absolute;' seems to be causing this in FF, but not IE.
Using 'position:relative;' has cleared it all up. Although, I'm unsure as to why.
