View Full Version : left div layer question LateNightHarlot 02-17-2004, 01:49 AM Ok I have a basic 3 set div layer on my page a header, left scroll bar, and a center text pat on my page. Now is there a way to make the left tool bar extend forever? so that if they don't have my downloaded fotn is still goes on to the end but that it doesn't exccced my Copyright Info at the bottom? please can anyone help? lovely 02-17-2004, 03:14 AM Hmm, I don't quite understand what you're asking for - do you want the left div to extend down or left? Could you give us your site address or the code, maybe? That might help, too. :) LateNightHarlot 02-17-2004, 04:23 AM I want it to extend down which I already have but if you dont have the fonts I have gotten specially for my site it doesnt extend far enough or it extends to far I am wondering if I can jsut keep it on the left but taking up the whole space so it shows all red on the left extending 200 pixles and that you never see black after the red my site is www.weirdgirlwithastick.com salomeyasobko 02-17-2004, 04:43 AM er... i'm guessing you figured out a way to do it? 'cause i don't see any black after the red :D LateNightHarlot 02-17-2004, 05:02 AM no I haven't I manually changed the height but there has to be an easier way because not everyone has the buffied and slayer fonts so it wont fit correctly as it should without them I want to figure our how to keep the left menu bar to stay in place while you scroll lovely 02-17-2004, 06:07 AM Hmm, well, what if you made both your divs transparent and then made the background for the whole page be an image of the right widths of red and black (like this www.freewebs.com/herekittykittie/redblack.jpg) and just put body { background-image: url(whatever.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } in the <head> where you've already got the style? I think it would repeat down the page forever - no black at the bottom. Would that work, maybe? To test it your could put: body { background-image: url(http://www.freewebs.com/herekittykittie/redblack.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } Alternatively, you could put bgcolor="000000" in the main body tag and make an image of the right width of red and use background-repeat: y-repeat; I think it would work out the same either way. ;) LateNightHarlot 02-17-2004, 10:54 PM Ok the backroune Idea is great but now I need to keep it frm extendin all the ay over the page I just would like it to extend as far left as the menu is suppose to go bascially I only want it to go repeat vertically not horizantly someone help! lovely 02-18-2004, 12:23 AM If you used background-repeat: y-repeat; it would only repeat down the left hand side vertically, I believe. (See here: http://www.lissaexplains.com/css.shtml#stylebody) LateNightHarlot 02-18-2004, 02:45 AM I keep tryign why isn't it working? lovely 02-18-2004, 02:48 AM I don't know. I don't see where you put it on your site.. could you give us the whole code or upload a page where we can see it? LateNightHarlot 02-18-2004, 03:11 AM actually I got it lol stupid me, I typed in background-repeat: y-repeat instead of background-repeat: repeat-y lol now it works go take a look www.weirdgirlwithastick.com AND THANK YOU I would of never thought to do this though I never think outside the box! stargrl329 02-18-2004, 05:48 AM Just to let you know, there's a way that you can get the fonts to show up even if the user doesn't have it on their computer :) @font-face { font-family : "My Font" src : url("myfont.ttf") } That only works in CSS2 though, and you have to upload the .TTF file to your server and link to it in the code. |
