div layout assist

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 20.2012

I’m trying to transition from tables to div tags for a web site I manage. I’m using an old version of Dreamweaver to handle menus, but rolling my own divs for layout purposes. For some reason, I cannot seem to get a bulleted list (ul tag) to line up propery. See the test page at [URL=”http://myfranciscanknights.org/test/index3.html”]http://myfranciscanknights.org/test/index3.html[/URL] and take a look at how the list lines up with respect to the div on the left. Also, I’d like to have a uniform background to the div sidebar1, but am having problems getting that done.

I used internal styles in this page so you’ll be able to see everything at once. To see the original site, look at [URL=”http://myfranciscanknights.org/”]http://myfranciscanknights.org/[/URL].

Thanks for any hints. -Larry

@absolutmgd13Jun 21.2012 — you're layout is a little odd.. i'd start with a basic layout and work from there.. something like this... (i set fixed heights just so you can see how it lays out, do with them what you will..)

[code=html]<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
#container{width:500px;height:800px;}
#header{width:500px;height:100px;margin-bottom:10px;}
#footer{width:500px;height:100px;}
#mid-wrap{width:500px;height:800px;margin-bottom:10px;}
#sidebar{float:left;width:150px;height:800px;margin-right:10px;}
#content{float:left;width:340px;height:800px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">

<div id="header"></div>

<div id="mid-wrap">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>

<div id="footer"></div>

</div>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
