| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 10:27pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Wow!worked in both FF and IE. Wonderful peeps. Although z-index value didnt work,but it is doing wath i want it to do. Thanks so much. Pls i opened a thread on "lil prob i have with uploading my work". Pls check it out |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 9:29pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
I guess dey call it superimpostion.for example if u want the w word 'me' to appear on (be superimposed on) the word 'you', the paragraph that contains 'me' is given a z-index value of say 2.i use the following code for illustration <p style="position:absolute; top:1px; left:1px; z-index:2; ">me</p> <p style="position:absolute; top:1px; left:1px;">you</p> .in the above code,me and you will appear on top of each other,but me will appear on top because it has a higher z-index value,right? So my question is how will you do something similar if u are floating and not using coordinate(top and left) .thanks |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 7:10pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
I think i am really loving floating. How do i place the content of divA on divB using z-index . Cos in absolute positioning(top&left), you simply give values of coordinates that makes them intersect and then give a higher z-index value to divA. My question is 'how do u make divA appear on divB while floating?' |
| Webmasters › Lil Problem While Trying To Upload To Test My Little Work by lanbaba(op): 2:10pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
i have been trying to upload a mock site i built. just a page though, am using filezilla and freehost/free subdomain from eu.pn, just aint working, though my guild is an e-book, can someone please recommend a freehost/domain that he or she has used, and the person should be willing to hold my hand(step by step support). thanks, i need to upload this so as to encourage me |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 5:32pm On Jan 09, 2010 |
woo hoo, just like dual said, "saved by the babe" . i did all the stuff and it worked. actually , i was clearing outside the containing div, thanks guys |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 11:09pm On Jan 08, 2010 |
Yes yawa. I set d width of both p and of course d containing div and got dem staying side by side.actually, dats not d prob. D prob is dat d paragraphs are nt inside d div's border. D paragraphs appear under d border as if i set d div's height to zero. Note: the paragraphs appear side by side jst as i want. |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 9:34pm On Jan 08, 2010 |
Css part withborder {border-style:solid; border-width:2px; border-color:grey;} clear {clear:both; } , |

pls take a look at this withborder:adds border clear:clears both <div class="withborder" > <p style="float:left;">Our services are unbelievably affordable. just talk to us, no matter how small you think your budjet is, we can make it happen for you</p> <p style="float:left;">Our services are unbelievably affordable. just talk to us, n how small you think your budjet is, we can make it happen for you</p> </div><br class="clear"> in the above code, the two paragraphs are suppose to appear side by side, then the border of the <div> should enclose the two together. Question: why is it that the two paragraphs appear below the border(although side by side as expected). the div's border shows as if i set the value of its height to '0'. this also happen if i set the value of the height to 'auto'. mind you i also set values for the respective widths, of course having in mind the box model and it also didnt work, |

yawa-tide: cant still see my code you edited and the reply you typed with it, what is seun doing about it |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 10:15pm On Jan 07, 2010 |
yawa-ti-de:does it mean that the header, navigation, footer in this example are flowing (default arrangement by browser if no form of positioning is specified). ie header is stacked on the navigation, navigation on the 2 floated dis, and the two floated divs are stacking on the footer.stacking here means default positioning by the browser, |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 11:12pm On Jan 06, 2010 |
think i understood what you said yawatide.i will try it. just the technicalities of iit is the lil prob.but with God andyou guys, its little |

pls take a look at the code below, there are two parts. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <html> <head> <style> body {margin:0px; padding:0px; } .withborder {border-style:solid; border-color:grey; } </style> </head> <body> <!-part 1--> <div class="withborder" style="float:left; padding:3px; width:200px; height:auto; margin-left:200px;"> <p class="withborder" style="">As is usual wi</p> <p class="withborder" >God is verposition:relative; position:relative; <p/> <p class="withborder" >lanre As is usual with positioned below a floating element, use clear.</p> </div> <!--end of part1--> <!--beginning of part 2--> <div class="withborder" style=""> people text andth CSS (and impossible in traditional HTML), you can apply the clear property to any element, not just text and images. So, if you run into a situa</div> <!--end of part two--> </body> </html> there are two parts: part 1 is a <div>(1 will call it <div1> that contains some paragraphs. the <div> is surrounded by a border to make it clearer. part 2 is also a <div>(i will call it <div2> i styled <div1> with float:left.so i expected <div2> to be on the right side of <div1>, it did, just as expected, problem(1) but when i styled <div2> with width:50px, it left the right side of <div1> to stay under&left as if stacking. Adding the <div1>width(200px),margin-left(200px) and <div2>width(50px)=450px only. mind you, i didnt clear the float after <div1>, so why should <div2> leave the right side of <div1>. problem(2) the <div2> border starts from the top left corner of the browser, even to the content(text) starts from the left or under <div1> in the two cases above. thanks. |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 10:05pm On Jan 06, 2010 |
what i understand by floating is: if u say a div1 1s <div style="float:left">, and say another div,call it<div 2> follows in the code, it means that 1(the one with style="left:float" is at the left of 2, if am wrong pls correct, in the light of this, pls explain the code you wrote further |
| Webmasters › Re: Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 8:57pm On Jan 06, 2010 |
thanks, so clear, but if that container is for example a side bar, do u have to now position the container using absolute positioning (top and left) or u can float the header(logo, menu etc) section and allow it (sidebar) to wrap round it, if you can do this, then let us assume the first element /container on your page is the header(logo ,menu etc) (you will float it, then clear other containers like sidebar around it), do you position the header(logo, menu etc) with absolute positioning else how do you do it? |
| Webmasters › Why Float Instead Of Using Coordinates (top And Left) by lanbaba(op): 7:08pm On Jan 06, 2010 |
why float instead of using coordinates (top and left) in css positioning. (ie advantages of floating), what are the possible difficulties that one would encounter while trying to float. cos am yet to fully a\understand it, |
