Positioning issues … new at customizing ~

  • Hi,

    I apologize in advance as I’ve a thread here, but can’t figure out how to delete it. (Wanted to merge both issues together.)

    This is the website I’ve been working on, still needing various tweaks and such, but no matter where or how I search and the variety of things I try, I just can’t seem to fix anything properly.

    Design was a bit too complex for my first I believe. ??

    My first problem is the newspaper at the bottom, I need it to be at the very bottom, right now it has a space below it … tried setting both the margin and padding bottom to 0, but still won’t work.

    The menu, I can’t seem to get the space between each link to be the same amount of pixels, as well … when I hover the mouse over top the first link to test the drop down, I’m not able to click it! I’ve been at this for days it seems.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated … as I’d like to get this completed and over with.

    Thank you kindly,
    Jennifer

    Uh oh … I had a friend take a look at this (as they’ve a 21″ screen) and the attached is what it looks like ~

    Any idea on how I can fix this to fit all screens properly or would I be further ahead to have it fixed with a background color?

    What a challenge this has been …

    What’s with the ‘B’ arrow? Should your layout not cover the entire width?

    In that case wrap the entire layout (between the <body> and </body> tag) in a wrapper and assign a width to it, and center the layout

    #wrapper {
    width: 900px; /* or whatever width you had in mind */
    margin: 0 auto;
    }

    Not sure what the B is referencing honestly … yes, should be the entire width.

    Thank you, I’ll try that, I’m missing the margin: 0 auto;

    Oops, that is what I have!

    Looks like the main layout itself is alright, its the various elements inside that are all over the place, quite the gap between the content and sidebar. *sigh*

    Perhaps if I adjust the positioning on those?

    well, the positioning of the photo is absolute, I don’t think you will be able to solve this for the different screen sizes (but then again, I’m no expert whatsoever, so maybe it can be solved).

    Maybe some heavy javascript, like jQuery can help you with that.

    Still haven’t found a solution, I’ll post it when (and if) I do …
