css and layout

wood1e · #1 01-May-2005, 07:01

Hi,
I am just testing a webpage on my hosting account, and having used CSS for first time proper...

When I uploaded it to the server, adn then went to view, the right hand column went straight underneath the left hand column, I am using a three colmn layout with CSS. And then I clicked on another page, and the layout was ok.

using just CSS the right hand column would go underneath the lefthand coumn when I shrunk my browser. I would prefer to use just CSS, hence the reason for using a table in both columns

And the two images "members", and "search" don't seem to want to appear, and I can't see why, when they do on my PC.

Can anyone help/explain?

You have a lot of extra lines of code in there that you do not need really. And did you want to use all CSS and use DIVs to create the three column layout or did you actually want to mix the two

For example:

CSS Code:

.mainContainer{
     
	 width:792px;
     height:1100px;
     border:0px;
     margin:0 auto;

}
.leftMenu{
     background-image: url(images/agift_of_poetry_49.jpg);
     background-repeat: repeat-y; 
	 width:152px;
     float:left;
     height:1100px;
}

If everything is going to be in your table (maincontainer) you have already specified the height - no reason to do that again.

This site has a few layouts that you could check out.

Also the problem does lie somewhere in that rollover.css file. (Take that out for a moment and I think you will get your desired layout.)
