Two "simple" layouts

Dario de Judicibus

I wish to create two simple layouts by using only HTML, CSS and the minimum
JavaScript as possible. Layouts should be "elastic" (no fixed widths and
heights) and cross-browser enabled.

The first one is a non-scrollable page which contains a centered title and a
centered division with automatic scrolling on overflow, that is:

+---------------------+
| TITLE |
| +--------------++ |
| | || |
| | || |
| | || |
| | || |
| +============== ++ |
+---------------------+
LAYOUT 1

When the page resizes, the inner division should resize accordingly.
The second layout is similar but the inner division is on the right,
wherease on left I have a fixed image.

+---------------------+
| TITLE |
| +---+ +--------++ |
| | | | || |
| | | | || |
| +---+ | || |
| | || |
| +========++ |
+---------------------+
LAYOUT 2

Note that it is VERY important do not assume pre-defined widths or heights.
Layouts should be all based on percentages and relative values.
Cross-browsing prevents iframe usage.

I was able to do that on IE, but it does not work in firebirds and other
browsers. I used mostly <DIV>. I tried also <TABLE> but with no success. The
box model is different for different browsers, and scroll bars sometimes do
not appear, or appear when they should not, or sizing or positioning is
wrong.

Any help appreciated.

Not a bit of this requires javascript. Just good CSS.

"Simple" animation in C# --> memory leaks???

by: Beam_Us_Up_Scotty | last post by:

Hello all, I am trying to write a "simple" animation using C#, and I've tried many things but nothing seems to work for me without leaking memory. Here's a very simple piece of code that uses a timer to set the image of a label from an ImageList every 100ms or so. This is what was being used when I inherited this piece of code, and I thought it was OK, until I changed the size of the label to do animation on a larger piece of screen...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
