I'm pretty new to CSS. I can do basic layouts fairly well, but something I'm working on right now has me stumped. I've resorted to trial and error, randomly trying different properties and values to try to correct the issues I'm having, which at the moment has resulted in me accidentally cropping part of a graphic and has not gotten me much closer to my intended result.
You can view the HTML file here: http://neptune.he.net/~swdnbrg/cow/REBUILD/local.html and you can view the CSS here: http://neptune.he.net/~swdnbrg/cow/REBUILD/global_oneColElsCtrHdr.css (Note that I know the ordering of the rules needs to be cleaned up to make it easier for tweaking later, I've been using Dreamweaver to quickly style, and was going to clean it up at the end.) I opted to use background images for the nav bar rather than embedded images in the HTML. Basically, the pink segment is supposed to sit under the main navigation links, with the vertical section sitting between those and the "home" link, with the right horizontal segment positioned slightly above the "home" link. The cross on the far right of the page is supposed to be more or less where it is (when viewed in Firefox), just not cut off (I'm not quite sure how I screwed that up at this point--I know that margins can be used to crop like that). I am actually trying to rebuild a page that was made years ago out of a nasty mess of nested tables and JavaScript. This is the URI of the current page for a visual example of what I'm trying to do with CSS, but we're having server problems and it likely won't load: http://www.swedenborg.org/local.cfm The other thing that I've been having difficulty with is that IE7 and Firefox position the images rather differently. The pink bars can be positioned perfectly in one browser, but overlapping text in the other. Is there some way to make IE7 play nice for this situation? Any help is much appreciated. -- --Renée ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
