How do I place a footer after many absolute DIVs ??? - Page 3

pamelafluente

Dears,

I'd like to know the cleanest solution for the following problem.
I want to insert some CSS/htm after a long vertical column
of DIVs absolutely positioned.

Since this code is generated automatically by a streamwriter, I am
looking for the cleanest and simplest solution possible.

I would like:
- No reference to external stylesheet
- No solution where I have to write something "before and after" some
other code. The code should be in on place only, possibly at the end of
the page.

Thank you very much,

Pam

Q. How do I place the following at the bottom of the page ?

>>>As to fonts, No the user cannot change sizes. Everything is done

That is almost always a mistake.

Agree with that from the perspective of a web artist. My perspective is
that
of a document prepared in a page setter (like quark Xpress) and
outputted to web.
There are many other things (pictures, label, text) to match: so
precision is a feature.

You can't do that in a reliable way with HTML and CSS; if
pixel-perfection is crucial you need to choose another file format, such
as PDF, Flash or GIF.

There is an important difference between print and screen design: In
print design you have control over the viewing situation (your prepared
layout printed by your favorite printer on a fixed-size piece of paper),
while in screen design the viewing situation can vary a lot - imagine
your boss wanting his/her site to look good both on the 20 inch desktop
screen and the Palm.

>>>Fonts are fixed defined in pixels. This is a very precise layout
(enterpris e report). User cannot change it. User can only interact
with it with some onclick onmousedown events.

The user can always change it, unless you have some way of
absolutely controlling the users' browser and environment.

That I have just tried. Changing the font size from the menu has no
effects (tried with IE).

Try it with Firefox. Google this group and you find tons of discussions
about this behaviour of IE being correct or not - anyway you can't even
know if future versions of IE will behave like the same.

If you code for IE6 behaviour you might get the desired look for a
majority of today's users, but it is a good idea to make sure it does
not break for the others.

Thanks for the advice. If all of you experts think there is no clean
solution in js/css, I will resort
to compute the last div position programmaticall y. Let me know...

How do you want to do this?

render as close as possible a design made in a composer.

There are also interactivity problem as I have to handle the click on
each cell. and there could be thousands of cell arranged in any
possible layout, not necessarily "tables".

Cells can have pictures and alarms inside. There can be label
superposed precisely on charts,... So a mess.

I think that Flash is the perfect tool for what you need to achieve. You
have all kinds of layout possibilities, can easily add any kind of
interactivity to any kind of element, and you can script it all for
automatic generation. I assume that it is not difficult to find a Flash
crack who will be happy to build this for you, as it seems to be an
interesting application.

Thanks Marcus.

Flash is losing ground lately, I think ...

PS
No, it was just a provocation :)
