Changing content dimensions?
Thanks so much, that works perfectly! The only question is that now the black footer background seems to disappear, but it's not a big deal. I don't even know if I want a footer so I'm sure it'll be fine. Thanks again!

Changing content dimensions?
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how I would go about altering this template, so that the left column with the links is about half the size and the content from the right column is properly extended (ie. has more room)? http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/thebarn Here's the CSS code for the content area: /* Content */ #content { width: 592px; margin: 0 auto; background: #786E50 url(images/img5.gif) repeat-y; border: 4px solid #000000; } #colOne { float: left; width: 166px; padding: 10px; } #colOne h3 { margin: 3px 0 10px 0; color: #786E50; } #colOne ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; } #colOne a { color: #645B43; } #colTwo { float: right; width: 346px; padding: 10px; }

Text on particular pages being glitchy in IE
Oops, I thought I made note of it here but I guess not. The problem was resolved within the hour - someone offered the really simple solution of increasing the line height and it fixed everything. Thanks! :*)

Text on particular pages being glitchy in IE
Hi guys, I'm having an issue with one particular page format being a bit glitchy in IE. It works fine in Firefox but in IE, the text on certain pages isn't always showing up/rendering properly...if you scroll down the page, some text appears to be missing or cut off on random lines here and there, but then reappears if you highlight it or scroll down and back up again. It seems to be a problem with the black/gray background blocks that the text is on, because if I remove that element from the stylesheet, the text on those pages looks just fine. Here is the CSS file Here is an example of the pages using that stylesheet And here what I believe to be the problem section of the code...the text-related issues seem to lie with this particular item (the back/gray background blocks). Everything checks out with the CSS and Site/XHTML validators. So if anyone knows how to fix up what's happening in IE, that would be stellar, because I'm lost. div.blogitem { background: #000 url('images/pfade.jpg') repeat-x bottom; padding: 20px 15px 50px 10px; }

Background image not repeating vertically
Never mind...everything's working now so consider this thread closed. Thanks for your time!

Background image not repeating vertically
Okay...I've fixed the settings so that now the background image (bg.gif) extends the full length of the page regardless of individual page content and screen res. However, unfortunately, now these extra vertical scrollbars have appeared within the content area, which I can't have. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them without having the bg image cut off again? Revised Code: /* BASIC INFO */ html { height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; border:0; font-size:76%; font-family: Georgia; background:#000;} /* GENERAL LAYOUT */ div#wrapper{ width: 1006px; height: 100%; } body {height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; border:0;} #content {display:block; height:100%; overflow:auto; padding-left:160px; padding-top: 100px; position:relative; z-index:3; color: #ffffff; background-image: url('images/bg.gif'); background-repeat: repeat; #000000;} #head {position:fixed; margin:0; padding-left: 134px; display:block; width: 872px; height:100px; background:url(images/space.jpg) #ddd; font-size:6em; z-index:5; color:#ffffff; font-family: Georgia;} #foot {position:fixed; margin:0; padding-left: 150px; bottom:0px; display:block; width:856px; height:50px; background:url(images/footer.gif) #000000; color:#000000; text-align:center; font-size:10pt; z-index:4; font-family: verdana;}

Background image not repeating vertically
Hey there, unfortunately still having the same problem. I altered the CSS to repeat in both the html and content portions. But it doesn't seem to be working. Basically, on the pages with very little content, that's where the problems arise. On the longer pages, there's no issue because it takes up enough space length-wise. But on the shorter pages, the bg.gif image cuts off before the footer, leaving varying lengths of black space. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Background image not repeating vertically
Hey guys, last tech problem I seem to have with my site - everything else is checking out but this one issue is still giving me real trouble. On my laptop, the background image looks fine and extends all the way down to the bottom of the page, however long that page is. However, on a friend's computer (he has a higher screen resolution), the background image is cutting off and not going all the way down to the bottom. I'm working with a 1280 x 800 res. My site is optimized for 1024 x 768 res. On both my screen and when testing the latter resolution, everything's great. But on larger screens, it seems to cut off and not repeat vertically, no matter what I do. I've tried the standard "repeat-y" settings and a lot of other stuff, and nothing seems to make it take up the full length of the page on my friend's screen. Any suggestions? Site: http://www.tigersjunkyard.com/xilon/main.shtml CSS Code /* BASIC INFO */ html { height:100%; max-height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; border:0; font-size:76%; font-family: Georgia; background:#000 url() -18px 0 no-repeat; /* GENERAL LAYOUT */ div#wrapper{ width: 1006px; height: auto; } body {height:100%; max-height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; border:0;} #content {display:block; height:100%; max-height:100%; overflow:auto; padding-left:160px; padding-top: 100px; position:relative; z-index:3; color: #ffffff; background: url(images/bg.gif); #000000;} #head {position:fixed; margin:0; padding-left: 134px; display:block; width: 872px; height:100px; background:url(images/space.jpg) #ddd; font-size:6em; z-index:5; color:#ffffff; font-family: Georgia;} #foot {position:fixed; margin:0; padding-left: 150px; bottom:0px; display:block; width:856px; height:50px; background:url(images/footer.gif) #000000; color:#000000; text-align:center; font-size:10pt; z-index:4; font-family: verdana;}

Need help with pure CSS image gallery
Hey blue...thanks but actually, the two examples I gave are the ideal styles. Your example seems to be hover-based rather than click-based? And I'm not sure where the captions would go. I'm basically looking for a way of tweaking one of those two galleries I mentioned, or something that has the same type of effect (thumbnails, enlarge to medium size with captions, click for full view). Any ideas?

Need help with pure CSS image gallery
Hey guys, now that my site is validating and the overall layout is finished, the last thing I'm having trouble with is the gallery. I've done two different test galleries (using modified templates) and could really use some help with making them work. Gallery A: http://www.tigersjunkyard.com/xilon/gallery-test.html 1) Is there a way to use this type of layout, but add in code that pops up caption information upon hover? For example, when someone hovers over a thumbnail, and that slightly larger version of the image pops up, I'd love to also have the image information appear either in the black space at the bottom of the box, or even more preferably, in a separate box just to the right or left of the thumbnail box. Is that possible? 2) You'll notice this test gallery isn't incorporated into the main layout of my site like the other one...that's because when I tried to add it into a page with the proper layout, it doesn't appear in the main content area like it should. It seems to be caught in the title area. This is what it looks like: http://tigersjunkyard.com/xilon/gallery.jpg -- any idea why that's happening? Gallery B: http://www.tigersjunkyard.com/xilon/gallery-test.shtml 1) In the hover caption, when I try to make the "Download full size" text a link, it does become a link but a double link appears up in the thumbnail section as well. Similar issue if I try to make the medium sized image itself a link. But I have to have an option to view the full sized image. 2) Having adapted someone else's template, I'm having trouble figuring out if there's a more practical way to set up the code. As of now, all of the thumbnails are individual background images listed in the stylesheet...example - a.slidea {background:url(image.jpg);} - this is obviously not useable if I want to have many images and multiple gallery pages. Is there a way to set up a gallery with this layout, but without having to make each thumbnail a separate item in the stylesheet? So...does anyone have any ideas on how to make either of these work? Preferably the first one, since it doesn't require thumbnails, but getting either one functional would be great. The codes are below: Gallery A - All Code <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #000000; font-size: 13px; color: #ffffff } /* common styling */ a {color:#000;} a:hover {text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#000;} /* slides styling */ .photo {width:635px; text-align:left; position:relative; margin:0 auto;} .photo ul.topic {padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; width:635px; height:auto; position:relative; z-index:10;} .photo ul.topic li {display:block; width:125px; height:31px; float:left;} .photo ul.topic li a ul, .photo ul.topic li ul {display:none;} .photo ul.topic li.active a {color:#ffffff; background:#000000; text-decoration: none;} /*BOX PADDING */ .photo ul.topic li.active ul {display:block; position:absolute; left:0; top:31px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; height:425px; background:#000000; width:464px; padding:10px 10px; border:20px solid #660000; z-index:1;} .photo ul.topic li ul li {display:inline; width:112px; height:87px; float:left; border:1px solid #fff; margin:1px;} .photo ul.topic li ul li a {display:block; width:110px; height:85px; cursor:default; float:left; text-decoration:none; background:#444; border:1px solid #;} .photo ul.topic li ul li a img {display:block; width:100px; height:75px; border:5px solid #eee;} .photo ul.topic li a:hover ul li a:hover, .photo ul.topic li:hover ul li a:hover {white-space:normal; position:relative;} .photo ul.topic li a:hover ul li a:hover img, .photo ul.topic li:hover ul li a:hover img {position:absolute; left:-50px; top:-32px; width:200px; height:150px; border-color:#fff;} p.link a:hover {background-color: #2B2E21;color:#fff;} p.link a:link span{display: none;} p.link a:visited span{display: none;} p.link a:hover span { position: absolute; margin:15px 0px 0px 20px; background-color: #ffffff; max-width:300; padding: 2px 10px 2px 10px; border: 5px solid #660000; font: normal 16px verdana; color: #000000; text-align:left; display: block;} </style> </head> <body> <div class="photo"> <ul class="topic"> <li class="active"><a class="set" href="#Landscapes"><!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="lightbox3.html" alt="" title="" /><img src="landscapes/Kappa Crucis - Desert Shadows - Martin Roes.jpg" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Kappa Crucis - Misty Mountains - Martin Roes.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Kappa Crucis - Misty Mountains - Martin Roes.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Risus - Blue Ice Desert - Martin Roes.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Risus - Blue Ice Desert - Martin Roes.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Risus - Lakeside Sunset - Dobromir Dimitrov.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Risus - Lakeside Sunset - Dobromir Dimitrov.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Risus - Misty Dawn - Dobromir Dimitrov.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Risus - Misty Dawn - Dobromir Dimitrov.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Risus - Sunset Shadows - Jerome.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Risus - Sunset Shadows - Jerome.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Xilon - Alkadine Mountains at Dawn - Brian Simes.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Xilon - Alkadine Mountains at Dawn - Brian Simes.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Xilon - Alkadine Mountains at Twilight - Brian Simes.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Xilon - Alkadine Mountains at Twilight - Brian Simes.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Xilon - Lukanen Mountains - Paul Gibson.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Xilon - Lukanen Mountains - Paul Gibson.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Zenon - Distant Rain - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Zenon - Distant Rain - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Zenon - Rogue Rock at Dusk - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Zenon - Rogue Rock at Dusk - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> <li><a href="landscapes/Zenon - The Andaline Shallows - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg"><img src="landscapes/Zenon - The Andaline Shallows - Thomas Broadfoot.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></li> </ul> <br class="clear" /> </div> </body> </html> Gallery B - Page <div id="container_left"> <div class="thumbs"> <a class="gallery slidea" href="#nogo"><em><img src="galleries/landscapes/Risus - The Road to Drakken - Jeff Hindmarsh.jpg" width="402px" alt="landscapes" /></em><span><b><i>Download full size</b></i><br/><br/><b>Artist:</b> Jeff Hindmarsh<br/><b>Title:</b> The Road to Drakken</b><br/><b>Description:</b> A view of the ice road to Drakken Village<br/><b>Dimensions:</b> 1600 x 1200 px<br/><B>File Size:</b> 452 kb<br/><b>Programs:</b> Terragen<br/><b>Notes:</b> This image is the property of the artist and may not be used without his/her permission</span></a> <a class="gallery slideb" href="#nogo"><em><img src="galleries/landscapes/KC - After the Rain - Stephen A.

Problem with page width, header/footer overlap
Hey, there's a link in my first post already :*) But here it is again: www.tigersjunkyard.com/xilon/main.shtml If you just open that page and try making the browser window smaller and larger, you should see the problem. Hopefully someone will know how to fix it!

Problem with page width, header/footer overlap
Thanks! I'm still not sure exactly what to remove from or change in the stylesheet to make it work. Like I said, when I add in the container code, the main content scrollbar disappears. And the same resizing issue is still occurring when I shrink or enlarge the browser window. I'm just not familiar enough with all the elements to know exactly what to fix. Thanks, noted :*)

Problem with page width, header/footer overlap
Hey notbanksy, thanks so much for answering. Where exactly would I start and end the container code? I added the second code to the stylesheet. Then in the page itself, I added <div id="container"> above <body>, and </div> below </body> but the problem was still occurring. You said to remove the specified body width percent and height, but I'm not sure exactly which part to take out...I edited my initial post here to include the codes for the main page and the stylesheet. Would you be able to tell me which bits to remove from the stylesheet? Also, adding the container code seems to get rid of the main content scrollbar. Any thoughts? Thanks again, I really appreciate your help!

Problem with page width, header/footer overlap
Hi guys, I put this site together for a personal project I've got in progress and am having some issues with the header and footer. My resolution is 1280 x 800, and when my browser is full screen, the page looks perfect. However, if I make the browser window smaller, two problematic things happen...one, the header squishes to accomodate the smaller window and overlaps the main content. Two, the footer text gets cut off on both ends and also overlaps the main body scrollbar. If I view the page on a larger screen, there is a black space between the header/footer and the content scrollbar. So my question is, is there a way to set a fixed size for the page, so that it stays the same no matter what sized window it's being viewed in (ie. if the browser window is small, then there would be a standard horizontal scrollbar on the bottom as opposed to the page resizing)? I'd basically just like to have the header and footer exactly lined up with the edge of the main content scrollbar at all times, regardless of screen resolution/browser window size. Everything but the header and footer seems fine. If anyone can help me fix this issue, I'd really, really appreciate it.
