Identify that line!

Freakish_05 · 10 Mar 2007 at 22:41

Which is appeaing at the bottom of some pages in I.E. and all pages in FF. In FF the 'content' div seems to be raised by the same ammount as the line at the bottom.

Offending Site (you will be pleased to know that the colour scheme has been greatly improved!)
Offending CSS

Been changing every variable in the CSS files and nothing seems to get rid of it.

Any help greatly appreciated as this is these are the last little flaws in the design and I can then get back to the PHP

It's things like this in CSS that make me mad and go back to tables. Sorry, had a fiddle and I can't find it, either.

Are you talking about the salmon pink line?

If so as it stands now there are a few edits you need to do. I haven't looked into how you have done the curved corners but i think they are the cause of the problem - their positioning.

Anyway instant fix as it stands now change CSS code (highlighted red the bits that need changing or adding in:

Code:

#navigation
	{
	width: 170px;
	float: left;
	position: absolute;
	top: [color=Red]166px[/color];
	text-align: left;
	z-index:2;
	background: #CC00FF;
	min-height: 100%;
	height: 100%;
	}

#content
	{
	position: absolute;
	top: [color=Red]166px[/color];
	left: 170px;
	padding: 15px;
	text-align: left;
	z-index:1;
	background:#FFCC99;
	max-width: 70%;
	min-width: 70%;
	[color=Red]height: 173%;[/color]
	}

Not entirely sure what effect this will have once you have more content in the content box.

[edit]

Ok i lie. Whats wrong with your site is that it needs to be chucked in the bin and then restarted from scratch. You have so much wrong with the site such as 2 of the <head> things and one begni in the body part :s random styling in random places etc.

In my opinoin you should either learn html and css quickly or find a better template rather then use someones very very very very badly made template.

Is this just a one off site for your own company or are you trying to learn html, css etc? If this is just a one off site to help your company i have no problem making a simple site free for you as long as you kidna know what it is you want design wise?

Well excuse me for not being up to your high standards Mr Fancy Pants.
The reason that there are <head> tags in the body is because I had to create style elements specific to each page and as for the reason they are appearing in 'strange' places is because I'm using a php include in the content div for the site pages.
Don't like it? **** off

Harib0, Matja - thanks for your help guys

Freakish, what he said may have sounded a bit harsh, but it was constructive criticism, if you're putting all your code in the wrong places then something is bound to go wrong.

Check your site out on http://validator.w3.org/ when your code is made valid it would be easier to find problems, then at least the problems arent created by sloppy code.

If you ask for people's help (and addy offered to make a site for you) then expect criticism.

Got no problem with criticism skyfall, I welcome it. However, if addy had made a comment like that about something you've been slaving over for 20-30 hours I'm sure you'd be pretty miffed. Its not what he said, its how he said it.
Addy COULD have said something along the lines of:

addy said:
You've got quite a few things wrong here, example being two <heads> on one page, one of which is lodged in <body>!!! wtf??
In my opinion you're better off starting from scratch with this one.

Back OT.
Now that I've cooled off and decided that this template just isn't going to work with the rounded corners, I think I'll start a fresh one later in the week when I've had some time to reflect on what went wrong with this one. I'll be sure to run all of my code through the W3 validator as well, cheers for that skyfall.
