HELP : can't solve css templates PB !

[zefri]

Hi,

I want to create a simple css template like this :
http://www.alsacreations.com/article...les/g_fixe.htm

But i've got a problem : the footer doesn't follow if contents(menu or
center) grow !

- Try to fill the menu with text so that its content is bigger than the
content of the center (right block).
you can see that the footer doesn't follow...!!!

-on the contrary, if the content of center is bigger than the content of
menu, footer follow as expected.

How to solve this ?!

Thanks a lot for any help !!

Regards,

Zefri

Try this. Also use units everywhere, e.g. body margin and padding.

body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#conteneur {
position: absolute;
width: 750px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -375px;
background-color:#CCCCFF;
}

#header {
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #99CCCC;
}

#gauche {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 150px;
background-color: #FFAABB;
}

#centre {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 600px;
background-color:#9999CC;
}

#pied {
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #99CC99;
}

I recommend choosing an ID which reflects the content, not the location on
the rendered page. Same with #centre.

And change this:

body {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;

...to this:

body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;

Don't forget the } !!

Compare to this, however.

font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Here, Mac users who have both Arial and Helvetica on the machine get
Helvetica, which many have described as a superior font (off of which
Arial was crudely based, if my memory serves me). Windows AFAIK never has
Helvetica anyhow, and even if it did it'd probably be better than Arial.

Needless to say, if my facts are in error, someone's sure to correct me. I
hope. :)

Of course. Note I reposted only the first three lines of the body css
to show the two changes I recommended.

Yeah. I keep forgetting about those Mac people... :-)

None from me.

*mscir* <ms***@access4less.net>:

body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
Do we need to discuss this *again*?
position: absolute;
width: 750px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -375px;

I'd be very careful with negative margins (and pixel sizes).
