Ah, yes...I see the war is over....you guys may use my forum to continue it...if you want to...
...<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I need some more help...<br />
First, I'm not sure which I should use, Opera, or Netscape...they are both very good browsers...Netscape doesn't support the coloring of the names on my forum, which also shows status. Opera does. Opera has other features that I like...the ability to drag a link that is on a page and open a new tab...the skins are nice...I think I'm going to go to Opera...
<br />
<br />
Yet again, I need help on he CSS for my site...it's the...yup, you guessed it, it's the footer again...<br />
<br />

They are the same problem...rather the same thing is causing both occurences..It was taken in 480x620 Resolution(I believe...the computers at my school block the panel where you change the res. from so I'm not sure if that is what it was set to.)...<!--content-->if you feel Opera gives you better options, use that.<br />

Don't absolutely position it. Set the top margin to whatever is neccessary to get the space you want, but don't absolutely position the footer.<!--content-->Alrighty then....*bops himself on the head with a frying pan...*....I should have realized it...I only know CSS!!....we all have our moments though...<br />
<br />
Also, Opera doesn't seem to support embedded scroll-bars....unless there is an option to enable them?<!--content-->embedded? like colors?<br />
<br />
Opera all the way!<!--content-->I hope you are not talking about those scroll bars in ie with the colors, that is ie only proprietary code... and be glad opera does not let people screw with your browsers gui.<!--content-->no....I mean like just in a table....<!--content--><div style="overflow:auto height:500px; width:500px">when the content gets bigger then the height it will scroll</div><br />
Opera does support that.... No browser (that I know of) supports a scrolling overflow in a table cell because table cells are engineered to stretch, that is how they were intended to be, not rigid.<!--content-->you may need a semicolon [;] in peo's last post.
<!--content-->lol....It all depends...If I was to make that a CSS statement, then yes, I would need a semicolon...however, the way he has it is not part of the CSS file...but I'm going to make it part of the CSS file, because I need to...<br />
<br />
EDIT:...I se what you are talking about now...LOL!...<!--content-->yes I made a typo. But either way if you have more then one property you would need a colon... unless you put one in a style tag, one in the class properties for it, and one in the id properties for it... then maybe one for that element in general.... You could get away with that, but why would anyone want to.<!--content-->I have a question...what is the point of having the class and id?<!--content-->class can apply to several elements whereas an id just one. So if one element in a class has a different background color or something you can vary that. Or if you just have one element you would not use a class.<!--content-->AHA!...So an ID can only be used once..rather each individual ID can only be used once in a page, whereas a class can be used repeatadely in a page...neato...<!--content-->you can also say<br />
td {<br />
height:10px;<br />
}<br />
and it will apply to ever table cell on your page that you do not override with a class, style tag, or id.<!--content-->Let's say you had 3 links. Each of them had the same position from the top of the monitor and all had the property of top: 200px; but they had unique positions from the left side of the monitor. So what you could do is make a class that all the links belonged to and that had the property of top:200px but each of the links had their own id depending on what distance from the left of the screen you wanted that link. That may sound like gibberish so let me show you with code. <br />
<br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<style type="text/css"><br />
.links { top: 200px; }<br />
#link1 { left: 100px; }<br />
#link2 { left: 150px; }<br />
#link3 { left: 150px; }<br />
</style><br />
<body><br />
<div id="link1" class="links"><br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"www.google.com">Google</a><br />
</div><br />
<body><br />
<div id="link2" class="links"><br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a><br />
</div><br />
<body><br />
<div id="link3" class="links"><br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"www.netscape.com">Netscape</a><br />
</div></body></html><br />
<br />
So you can see that instead of having to type the top command for each of the links, i made them all part of the same class, but have different left properties in the id tags.<br />
Hopefully that explains it.<br />
<br />

Yes you hr example would mod every hr. This is deeper then your html book because this is not html, its css. You should not have an 'html' book, but rather something that covers html/xhtml and css since html is only intended to be used as page structure in this day and age, but not for layout or style.<!--content-->My HTML covers enough CSS to get someone started...and it covers quite a bit of JS too...<!--content-->Ugh...<br />
