[css-d] A table of images using sprites...

Hello - I've subscribed to this list for years - and at last have a project and a reason to post... A client of mine had a site done in Flash. http://www.stephenporterstudio.com He has decided that he now wants nothing to do with Flash, and has asked me to recreate the file in HTML. I want t

Re: [css-d] background image makes border and footer disappear

Might try setting up a unique ID for each different page, assign that to body tag of the appropriate page, then define the background for each ID in your CSS. At least I think that's how others have done it. BTW, I don't believe the list is a fan of top-posting ... Peggy Coats wrote: > Brian,

Re: [css-d] background image makes border and footer disappear

Brian and Rick -- thanks for the z-index solution. I always forget that! Brian, you mentioned that the backgroundimages are best left in the CSS file -- since this would normally be associated with the body tag, and there will be different backgrounds for each main page, how would the CSS be writ

Hi all, I'm new to CSS. I've been designing with tables since 2003, putting off the transition to CSS. In the past week, I've taken CSS to bed and woken up to first thoughts of a possible solution to all kinds of problems. This has been a rough journey - going from elation to exhausted annoyanc

Re: [css-d] page check please

Though I believe everything is working as you intend, I would suggest rethinking the header rollover trick. When I roll over the header image, the image extends, and thus increases the height of the page. But then if I move on to the navigation bar - in an effort to navigate to a particular section

Re: [css-d] IE crashing and Horizontal scroll bar woes!

Hi Mark, Having 50% left margin and a width of 800px automatically makes the page wider than any screen less than 1600px in width. That's why you have the scrollbar. Just contain your design in a right aligned div and that should fix that problem. Haven't experienced crashes here in IE7 so far.

This is somewhat of a re-post, but I didn't realize what was happening last time. http://goonsquad.org/santini/site/index.html If you make the visible area of the website less than the whole website (allow vertical scrolling) you will notice that the left and right "borders" do not continue down.
