<0> JediKirby: Whatever you want your width to be... 1100px?
<1> um, I don't think that's what I was looking for
<1> It didn't work
<1> I just want my page to scroll instead of do that odd stretching thing when I scale the page
<1> Isn't there some way to absolutely position these three elements so that they're all next to eachother
<1> And 20 pixels appart at all times
<1> ?
<2> you can float them.
<2> but yes you can absolutely position them.
<1> But the floating is making them scale with the browser window
<2> then set each to position:absolute; and give their x and y coords in top: left;
<0> or right, for the right one
<2> top: x; left: ;
<1> would I stop floating them?
<0> Yes
<2> you can set the left most div to position:absolute; top: 0; left: 0;



<2> and then follow accordingly
<3> help! lol...i don't know CSS but i'm trying to modify this theme i downloaded for wordpress
<3> lol
<3> blog.dlgeek.net
<3> trying to get that caption to look good
<1> ok, they STILL overlap when I scale them
<1> Can I stop them from scaling with the window?
<0> JediKirby: SOMETHING has to move. You can either change widths, or margins. what would you like?
<0> JediKirby: you need margins on your #comic
<1> of what?
<0> How far you want it from the sides (ad_width + 2xad_margin)
<0> I think its 200?
<1> Now it's off center...
<0> JediKirby: like I said, if youre trying to put fixed width everything, something has to change with the window
<0> `deadcenter
<4> deadcenter: http://reisio.com/examples/deadcenter/
<5> can anyone help me with the syntax of zindex?
<5> how do you use it
<0> ArthurBrazil: z-index: #;
<5> thank you Flannel
<5> do i use #1 or just 1
<0> ArthurBrazil: just the integer
<5> kk thanks Flannel
<5> can you tell me if this is correct?
<5> http://rafb.net/paste/results/WojRkC47.html
<0> ArthurBrazil: except to use z-index the element has to be absolutely positioned
<5> oh
<1> ok, Flannel, LOOK at this page: http://www.simplygraphix.com/banners_sizes.html
<1> If you scale the page
<1> The site doesn't scale
<1> It stays the exact same size
<0> JediKirby: right. Its FIXED WIDTH
<1> Everything on my site is fixed width!
<1> What isn't!?
<1> I'll make it!
<0> JediKirby: your site isnt
<0> JediKirby: put a width on your body: 1100px
<0> there, problem solved.
<0> You should have SAID you wanted a bloody fixed width site.
<0> ArthurBrazil: of course, you've got "top" and "left" values, they should be positioned non-statically anyway ;)
<0> ArthurBrazil: also, stay away from z-index: -1; just go to -2, IE sometimes does funky things with -1 zindexes
<5> lol last time i was here someone told me it was better not to use fixed
<1> Can I center it once it has fixed width?
<0> JediKirby: automargins on the body
<1> ok, if I make a container around the content BELOW my header
<1> can I set THAT to a fixed width, center it, and the header would still scale?
<0> JediKirby: yes.
<6> can anyone tell me how to make the text that follows an image actually follow the image and not start beside it?
<7> as in start below it?
<6> yes
<7> images are inline elements, like text
<7> either put in an explicit break, or make the image display: block;
<1> oh ****, Flannel
<1> It isn't working
<1> content is supposed to be my magical fixed width wrapper
<0> JediKirby: position relative on the wrapper
<1> ah
<6> can i do that inline (not in my style sheet) because i only need it for this image
<6> FunkyBob, by explicit break you mean <br /> ? cause i have tried that
<5> so how would i put one div overlapping another on non static page?
<1> god. dammit. still scales!



<0> ArthurBrazil: position them on top of each other?
<1> No wait, I lied
<7> MetaPhaze: yes a <br> ( or <br /> if you're using XHTML )
<1> But something odd happened
<6> ArthurBrazil, try zindex
<0> JediKirby: what still scales?
<5> its not fixed
<1> No, it doesn't scale anymore
<1> BUT I have odd stuff going on now
<1> Go look at the page
<5> Flannel, i have both the div layers in the same area but its showing up under the other div
<0> JediKirby: right, Im looking at it
<5> need an example?
<6> FunkyBob, so for a display:block; can i do that in a span="" ? or maybe style="" ?
<1> I think position: relative; messed up the ads being position: absolute;
<1> perhaps !important?
<0> JediKirby: no. They didnt.
<1> Then why are they down so far?
<0> ArthurBrazil: you can only position siblings ontop of each other in a particular order, of you have two divs, A behind B, A's children can't go above B
<1> OH I see why
<0> JediKirby: becuase theyr're relative to the wrapper. the tops
<1> Yeah, I see
<5> Flannel, could you elaborate for me please? Im somewhat comfused.
<0> ArthurBrazil: what are you trying to do?
<7> MetaPhaze: you can do it on the img element itself
<5> Flannel, I have a div that runs along the top. I need to place another one over it but not completly over it
<0> ArthurBrazil: alright, so... position it absolutely, so theyre overlapping like you want
<1> Flannel: I love you.
<1> The site FINALLY looks like I want it to
<1> In Firefox, at least
<1> Explorer is a totally different case that I don't even care about at this point.
<1> I'll probably make an explorer version of the site that's ultra dumbed down
<1> With MORE ads.
<1> Muahahahaha
<1> Can you make something load first in a page?
<1> Like, I want my comic to load first, absolutely
<0> No, browsers can load things as they want
<6> FunkyBob, <img src="/location/image.ext" style="display: block;" /> ?
<6> FunkyBob, that's not working :(
<7> MetaPhaze: well, it's difficult to say without seeing your whole page
<7> MetaPhaze: oh, and just out of curiousity... why did you choose XHTML over HTML?
<0> Good lord. You anti-xhtml people are on an all out crusade.
<7> who's anti xhtml?
<7> I'm just trying to get a feel for why people choose one over the other
<6> FunkyBob, just to learn it... i know a lot of html why is html a better language?
<0> Oh, hah. thought there was going to be yet another html vs xhtml lecture ;)
<7> MetaPhaze: well, XHTML1.0 is, essentially, HTML4.01 in XML instead of SGML
<7> so it's not a matter of "a better language"
<6> FunkyBob, just different formatting?
<7> mostly it's a matter of support.
<6> i see
<0> XML is SGML
<6> i'm using xhtml1.1
<7> Flannel: no, it's not
<0> FunkyBob: yes it is
<7> Flannel: no, it's intended as a "simplified" version of SGML
<6> FunkyBob, am i missing out by going xhtml rather than html?
<7> MetaPhaze: if I told you one of the major browsers didn't support XHTML, which would you guess it is?
<6> ie
<0> FunkyBob: XML is SGML. Just like HTML is SGML.
<7> Flannel: wrong
<6> what is sgml please?
<7> Standard Generic Markup Language
<6> ahh
<6> should have known
<0> Standard Generalized Markup Language
<7> it defines how to parse elements and attributes and so on... but not what they mean
<6> so i would be better off with html i bet
<7> HTML is a SGML DocType (or Schema)
<0> FunkyBob: HTML is a type of SGML, XML is a type of SGML. Hense, XML is SGML.
<6> FunkyBob, so is it ie?
<7> "Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879)."
<7> Flannel: no, XML sits at the same level as SGML
<7> they are alternatives
