Hey annabie, didn't notice your response! Better late than never haha. I applied to the very unique school Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula but haven't heard back yet. It's a very...philosophical program - you basically read a lot of the greatest books that transcend time authored by people like Socrates, Plato, Thomas Aquinas among many others. After that I was thinking I could get my AA in Design or similar program.

Wow, this is weird. I got that code from Firebug, but when I simply view the source its gone. Firebug screenshot: I also tried disabling javascript, but that just removed some styling. Maybe try removing the JavaScript code from the file and see if that helps. What I would do is start over. In my experience using WISYWIG editors has introduce more problems then helped. Defiantly check out this awesome online tool though: http://www.phpform.org/ When I get a moment I'll try and see if I can find a solution to this one...

To fix the text not displaying in IE 7 I figured out I needed to float the images left because for some reason floating the text right wasn't enough. So I'm still really wondering about how to have the "spider" background-image overflow, but I figured out how to have it display okay in the archaic versions of IE. Thanks!

Greetings! I'm trying to achive this: at this site: arkster.com/links.html It seems any overflow is being cut off. Is there a way to do this using css background-image, or is there a better way? I feel like the image is styling, not content, which is why I wanted to try and use css and avoid an img tag if possible. Also, the text on this page doesn't even show up on IE 7. Any ideas where I might start to make this at least viewable on IE 7? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Wow, thank you! Somehow that also fixed the nav at the very bottom in IE 7 - I guess putting a div within the ul caused an error. And lo and behold there is the space in IE 7 and 6.

mrchristoph: haha shame on me! I know, I know... mteam: What do you mean? It appears to me to be the same in IE 8 and FF, though in IE 7 there is not space between the sections like there is supposed to be. Is there a better way to do this?

Ooops, I'm sorry - I should have validated first. Turns out I didn't close the image tag...

Hello! My problem is that Internet Explorer 8 (the latest version I do belive) is not displaying an image whithin a link for the last <li> element. Strangly it is at least visable in IE 7. So I have: <div id="left-nav"> <ul> <li><a href="#"><img src="img/side-nav1_mission.png" alt="Statement of Faith"></a></li> <li class="selected"><a href="#"><img src="img/side-nav2_mission.png" alt="Philosophy Statement"</a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="img/side-nav3_mission.png" alt="Message of Love"></a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- end side-nav --> but the last 'side-nav3...' isn't showing, though the link does function. The site is here: www.arkster.com/mission.html Any ideas or recomendations?

Wow, great explanation. Time to go edit my code....

Thanks for the warm welcoming!

Hello Wickham, thank you for the rely, your simple explination of how margin and padding interact with the background led me to a solution. I had previously tried applying oppisite margin-top to the left and right divs wich didn't work in the older browsers. Now I changed the lenght of the header to where I wanted the center div to be, and then added margins to the left and right divs. Only problem, it doesn't work at all in IE 7, but I guess that's for another thread Thanks again!

Hey there, my name is Austin, I just graduated high school and am very interested in website design and am looking forward to perusing the forum!

Hello, the site I'm working on is hosted here for the time being. As you can see from that page, there is a good amount of space between the picture of the bricks and the start of the footer (at the bottom). I found that removing 'top:-47px;' from my main div's style solves this issue, but for design reasons it's important that the main div is lined up with the logo. To potentially save you time from looking through the code: I have three elements, one floated left, the other right, and the third centered. The centered div needed to be up higher on the page, so I applied 'top:-47px;' to it's div. I would simply do the exact same thing to the footer, but there is a drop shadow around the edges of of the background-images, that overlap and look bad. screen: And ideas?
