Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 06.2008

2 days and I still can’t get these damn DIVs to move down automaticly when I put content inside… Ok heres the code guys:

The CSS

[CODE]
#bg {width:950px;margin:25px auto 0 auto;background-image:url(something.jpg);}
#all {width:921px;margin:0 0 0 14px;padding:0;}
[/CODE]

The HTML

[CODE]
<div id=”bg”>
<div id=”all”>
I want both of these to automaticly move down based on how much content is entered!
<br>
<br>
ETC.
</div>
</div>
[/CODE]

its tricky, ill post the folder too which might be required for you to understand whats going on here…

@NatdizzleauthorOct 06.2008 — so if I put "float:left or float:right;" on the ID for #bg {}

then i get the effect I want.. although its floating left which is not what I want. hmm I think what i need to do is have a container for #bg **** I dont know

@opifexOct 06.2008 — not sure what "the effect" is, but

1. add a doctype or ie goes into quirks mode and other browsers go to defaults

2. move the <ul> outside of the <h3>

???

why set body height?

what is #all for??

why does #bg have a height?

you have rounded corners graphics in the folder - are you going to use them in the design?

lots of questions, but i can't picture the design......

if you take out the height for #bg it behaves[I] correctly(?)[/I]

Because I am indeed a "[B]JR.[/B] Web Developer".

Good question... heh. It's there to hold my content, but i suppose i could achieve the same results if I combined '#all' with '#bg', while adjusting the margin.

Only to demonstrate my problem. If I don't specify a height, the background-image will not display past the '#header' tag; which is my problem.

Those in particular will not be used for the design.

Thanks Opi

@NatdizzleauthorOct 06.2008 — So, I merged those 2 IDs together and set the overflow to auto... worked perfect.

Thanks
