ShadowMage Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I noticed that your .container class has a width of 9000px. I don't think that's what you wanted. You could just get rid of the width attribute altogether, then it will expand to the entire width of its parent. You can also probably get rid of the margin: 0 auto from your .container class since it won't really do anything if the div is as wide as it's container.

It needs margin: 0 auto because the div's inside .container (.whiteLeft, whiteMain and whiteRight) need to be centred. It also needs the width: 900px because it has no parent. It's the parent for the white box and everything in it.EDIT: Wow, that solved it. That was my problem, well half of it. Changing it from 9000px to 900px has centred the white box, almost. It's sitting where the .whiteLeft should be sitting. All I need now is to get .whiteLeft, .whiteMain and .whiteRight next to each other instead of on top of each other and figure out why the Button Bar isn't showing the background image except for where it's padded.EDIT 2: I've played around a little bit and I found that if I put an empty paragraph (<p></p>) in the html code of the .whiteLeft div then the div displayed with the background image covering the space. Unfortunately my FTP has gone down and I can't upload the changes for you to see what I mean.EDIT 3: I've played around some more and by setting a minimum height of 300px I've actually got it lined up and displaying properly, except the .whiteBottom is either not there or is under the .container (I suspect the latter). Also, by adding a padding of 30px to the bottom of .buttonBar I've got that to display correctly. Although I don't know why I had to pad it to get the background image to display. I suspect it's because the .button sections are floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've got my facts straight, all they're being used for is round corners on a white rectangle right? So, why couldn't you just make a new image with round corners for the whiteMain and get rid of whiteLeft and whiteRight? That would save the hassle of trying to align three separate divs. You could also get rid of the container and just put a width and margin on whiteMain.

styphon Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 *Bump* Can someone please help explain how to have the .whiteBottom show at the bottom and why .buttonBar needs padding:30px; for the background image to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
