    It works!!!

    That sounds like it should work. I should have thought of that. I am on a public computer right now, so I cannot test it but I will try it out this afternoon.axel

    Hey guys. I'm having a problem with my site. If you look on the left/right you can see the thin blue bar (the vertical one, enclosing the main content) only go down as far as the "Hello"'s go. I want it to go down the whole page though. The left and right bars and the content are in a div called page that goes down as far as I want, so shouldn't the leftbar and rightbar fill the full 100% height of the page div if I set height to 100%?Here is the link:http://www.macintoshclub.com/developerlink/template.htmlplease help,axel

    Making the height 150% doesn't work. It goes down to far. This is a really imprecise way of doing it because I am going to be having different amounts of content in my page so I won't always know the exact percentage I need. thanksaxel

    Yeah that works. I should have seen that.thanks a bunch,axel

    Ok, I've been working on this a bunch since obviously no one feels like answering my original question. I'm getting somewhere but I would still appreciate some help! Here is my page:http://www.macintoshclub.com/developerlink/test.htmlI need the bar on the left to go ALL the way down. As you can see, it is going down the length of the window, but it is not hitting the bottom of the page. Scroll down and you will see what I mean!please help,axel

    Hey guys. I've got a small problem. I need to have a footer on my page. Check out the page here:http://www.macintoshclub.com/developerlink/test.htmlThe footer at the bottom works, but it is not proper css (w3 validator doesn't like it). Does anyone know how I can get this same effect, but have a successful validation?thanks a bunch,axel

    You can put any HTML between the <html> tags (but better in the body tag). The html for the frames should go in the files frame_b.htm and frame_c.htm. Here is a normal document make up:<!doctype ...><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>Your HTML should go in the body section.axel

    Hey guys. I'm working on a new website and I'm designing it with div's and css. I am trying to have an info bar running down the left side of the screen. This bar will contain member information, but I want it to continue to the bottom of the page even if I don't have that much text in it. Here is a link to my website. It is the bar on the left that says something like "This will have information about the member/guest!!!". I have tried setting the height to 100% and some other things but none of that works. I considered using js to find the height of the screen and then set the link bars length to that, but I find that really sloppy for something as simple as this. thanks,axel

    Hello. I'm not sure if this is what you want but you can just put "transparent" for the color in css (e.g. background-color:transparent;).axel

    could you give a link to the page so I can test it. I have some ideas to what the problem is but I really can't do a thing without looking at an example/code.merry x-mas,axel

    Another way to center the div is to position it using absolute. You'll need some javascript too. With js find the width and height of the window (or possibly the parent element if this is supposed to be nested). Then divide both of those by two. Now you have the center point. You'll need to subtract half of the div's width and height then and then use js to set the div position to that.axel

    ~HELP~

    applenerd replied to a topic in HTML/XHTML

    I agree with all of the previous posts. I have made a forum already, and I am going to make a new forum for my new site. It is really important that you know mySQL, because you will use that to save any of the posts. Also, you should know PHP (or perl). I'll be making my new one in PHP. I'll give you some of the planning that I have come up with for my new forums.The files:forum.php --- this page will display all of the forum topics. For me it will have an id in the url for which forum.topic.php --- this page will display all of the posts for one topicnewtopic.php --- this page will let a user post a new topic.reply.php --- This page will let a user post a reply to a topic.These are the required FORM files for a simple forum. You will need a file then to actually perform the tasks (e.g for reply.php the user would fill out a form with what topic they want. Then in a new file like replyrun.php you would actually ad the reply). This really accomplishes the majority of a forum. The database:You will need to have a database to keep track of the forums. You could do it in two ways: have one table, and then id's for each post, or you could have tables for each topic, and one table that has a "table of contents" and contains the original post for each topic, and has the table name for the rest of the topic. For my old, simple forum I used the one table way. But I find this gets really messy (mostly for me when I need to do some admin stuff for it). So for my new topic I will have individual tables for each topic (and each table will then have only the reply's for that topic). You could really go either way with this, just depends if you feel comfortable making new tables dynamicaly and if you want serious organization.>I hope this helps. I'll be making my new forum over the next weeks, so feel free to contact me at axel@macintoshclub.com if you have any questions about your own.axel

    The border technique mentioned above works great, but there are two other ways. The other easy way is to use a fieldset. Here is an example:<fieldset><legend>Notes:</legend>Here are some notes</fieldset>This makes a box around "here are some notes", but it also has a legend. The legend puts the text "notes" in the upper left of the box (here is a crude example: ----Notes:--------------------). The best way to do a box would be to set up a table (or divs with divs inside it), and then in the corners you could put a rounded edge (this would have to be an image). You could use <hr> for the part of the box without the corner. So, each way has its uses. The border technique is quick and easy, and there are different border choices/sizes. The fieldset is nice because of the legend. You will often find fieldset's used in forms, and the legend tells the users what goes in that field. The final way I said where you use a table that has 4 hr's and 4 images of a rounded corner (you don't need this) can make a nice professional effect. You don't need to use <hr>'s, but they are easy for doing this. I like the last way because I can really customize the box, and I like the rounded effect on my boxes.hope this helps,axel
