I did it!

[jnl]

Hi everyone,

I did it! I've learned and created a page (an example) in CSS coding. There will be no more frames and tables for my current website (if this thing works out well).

Would u guys and gals check it out for me...

Q1: how I can position my columns (left, middle, right) fix at one place even when one resizes his/her browser size?

Q2: how come my links dont work on the menu (left) column?

Thanks for your feedback...I NEED IT!

Enter one or all of these codes into the header:

#rightcontent {
position: absolute;
right:10px;
top:50px;
width:200px;
background:#fff;
border:1px solid #000;
}

#leftcontent {
position: absolute;
right:10px;
top:50px;
width:200px;
background:#fff;
border:1px solid #000;
}

#centercontent {
position: absolute;
right:10px;
top:50px;
width:200px;
background:#fff;
border:1px solid #000;
}

This code is for your margins, change to desire.

<style type="text/css">
p.margin {margin-left: 8px; margin-top: 230px; width: 580px}
</style>

Place one of these in the body

<div id="rightcontent">

<div id="leftcontent">

<div id="centercontent">

The links may not work because they may not be the right link other wise I don't no.


Check out my site then look at the source code under view in the File bar.

change one of these

right:10px;
top:50px;
width:200px;

px can be changed to in, cm if you would like the width is how far it is from one side to the other

Does this help?

Hey the little guy,
im almost done with redoing and redesigning my current website with CSS coding. thanks for your help. i will write an article about how this forum and the people who had given me their feedback,and how i had to learn css coding in order to please the masters here. but i've made my website to look more polish and professional now. thanks to everyone!

i kinda miss the dancing heart guy of "dera"....hihi...it looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

check out my site's newlook ....

your site does look good. You have done a good job also, some interesting stories there i started reading one and then i remembered i had other stuff i have to get done ;P It had my attention

[rapid]

new site looks really good. well done.

easy to look through in the way you would a magazine.

few navigation issues i found:

-couldn't find a link to the home page except on the home page, which is useless. this is really important and every page should have one. the banner logo at the top of the page is often used for this.

-you really should tell vistors if the link opens another website rather than opening another page on your site. Having both internal and external links in the same menu is confusing.

-the UPDATED info at the bottom of the page is in the same font as the links, which makes it look like a link when it isn't.

anyway, good color scheme, feminine and gentle on the eyes.

also, found a bit of a spelling mistake: "We apologize for the inconvenient" shouldnt it be inconvenience?

[The Little Guy]

White text is hard to read on the light pink.

And about the home page linking, I think you should make the "Paris Woman Journal" image on the top of the page the link to the home page, on all of the pages.

[jnl]

OK...i will do all what you guys told me above. will darken the light background a bit for white text, or should i go with burgundy link color instead of white?

rapid: im not sure about the word, it is not a misspelled but it has different meanings. i will change if it bothers you. the home link is on the top nav with "latest news", well, i guess i need to rename it to "home" instead.

pawky: hihi...what story did u read? the one that i am thinking about...lol...

the little guy: i have another problem in opera browser. u know the it allows you to reduce the size of your site like view at 10% up to 1000% (not a pretty one though). my logo images on top would run bizarre when you view it at lower than say 60%, since i had two to cover big screen viewers. i dont know, will find a way to around this nuisance thing.

OK...give me some more days for the changes and updates...
thanks everyone. dont hestitate to tell me all...I NEED IT! i cannot see my mistakes u know...too tired with the codes...lol.

[The Little Guy]

What If you ran it in 100%. What would happen? What Do you mean by bizarre?

I don't have an opera browser. But maybe If you described to me what was happening I may be able to help you.

[jnl]

the little guy: when u view at 100% things are fine, at normal view. i found a way round to the problem. instead of putting 2 identical images side by side in a table with with columns, i just put the image as the background on the table. this way, the background will extend or shrink to the user's choice without floating all over the place.

someone told me that she cannot view the website correctly. would u please tell me if you can view it ok? she said she could only see the two photos on the home page. i dont understand y. i have checked with ie, firefox, opera and netscape (lastest versions), and the site seems to work out fine with all of them.

is there a problem with css in other older browser versions?

[The Little Guy]

There are some browsers that are to old to read css, but some browsers can only read certain css codes. CSS is newer than HTML, thats why not all browsers can read it.


I have a old computer that cant read GIF or JPG and thats basically how the browser is working.
