hello,
i m building a WIDE site (dont ask why, customers will).
now the problem is that the all thing have to be aligned right !!
meaning that i will have a left/right scroll that will have to be scrolled left to see the rest of the site.
i couldnt figure out a way to do this..
is this possible ?Ok, I'm reading this and I just want to make sure I have it correct.
You will have a very wide width on the site and want it to start out on the right side, and customers will then scroll to the left via a scrollbar to see the rest.
I'm not sure you can easily do this, because the only way I know how to make the view default to a certain area is to use a
<a name="whatever">
and then modify the link so it's:
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.yoursite.com/page.html#whatever
The problem is that I think this will ONLY work vertically. You can try setting it up and testing it, but my guess is that it's not going to work. I think the browser simply scrolls down through the document and stops when it gets to that NAME tag.
I know you said not to ask, but why on earth would you do this? I can't think of a single reason (aside from a comic book/art page) where you'd want them to scroll horizontally.
1. ESPECIALLY since you're making them go to the left. That will confuse a ton of people.
2. The only reason a user would want to scroll horizontally is if you have a picture that is too large width-wise to display in the average resolutions ppl browse at.
3. Consider if you have text that doesn't wrap. Do you REALLY want a user to have to scroll way right to read, then all the way back left again for the next line down? This will piss people off to no end.
conclusion: change your layout.body { width: 10000px }ok.. here is the customers "why":
there is the site and some banners to the left of it.
when in high resolution u will see it all = site+banners.
when 800*600 u will see the site only (it takes all of the 800*600 area) and if u will want to see the banners u'll have to scroll left.
i know its V-E-R-Y weird !!!
but is it possible at all? not as far as know/testedWhy are the banners to the left of the site? Shouldn't they be directly above your content?
If you use relative values (percentages) for your content area, the page should fit whatever screen resolution the user has, thus eliminating scrolling.
