HippySurfer | any CSS wiz out there feel like giving me a quick hand on the EP2010 web site? | 12:27 |
Taggnostr | HippySurfer, maybe | 12:41 |
HippySurfer | I have a really simple problem, but I know nothing about CSS so it will take me hours of reading to solve it. | 12:42 |
Taggnostr | if you link me a page and tell me where/what the problem is, I can help you | 12:43 |
HippySurfer | The home page: www.europython.eu has a style '#content' that is called up by the <div id="content"> element. The edge of the containing box is the left-hand edge of the page, i.e. it includes the right-hand-side boxes. I want to constrain the 'content' div to the middle column of the page so that none of the content of the div is ever drawn under the right-hand boxes. | 12:46 |
Taggnostr | you want the stuff at the bottom to stay in the middle column? | 12:47 |
HippySurfer | the content styes is in http://www.europython.eu/styles/styles.css | 12:47 |
HippySurfer | Yes | 12:47 |
Taggnostr | just a sec | 12:50 |
Taggnostr | it would be easier to rearrange the html, but as a quick'n'dirty workaround you could replace the margin in #homepage-boxes with "margin: 0 -250px 6px 20px;" and add "padding-right: 250px;" in #content | 12:54 |
HippySurfer | ah OK. would it be more simple to enclose all of the middle column content in a new div? | 12:54 |
HippySurfer | inside the 'content' div but as a sibling of the 'homepage-boxes' div? | 12:56 |
Taggnostr | it would be better to move #homepage-boxes outside the middle column | 12:56 |
HippySurfer | I can do that easily. | 12:56 |
Taggnostr | but fixing the CSS is not so trivial then | 12:57 |
HippySurfer | oh | 12:57 |
Taggnostr | you could use my workaround for now and then ask the designer of the site to use a proper 3 columns layout | 12:58 |
HippySurfer | OK, thanks for the advice. I have inherited the management of the site - so I think I had better learn some CSS. | 12:58 |
Taggnostr | there are lot of tutorials about 3 columns layouts | 12:59 |
Taggnostr | it's not that difficult, but it needs some testing to get it right | 12:59 |
HippySurfer | I'll do some googling | 13:00 |
Taggnostr | another easier fix is to enclose all the middle column in a div and set margin-right: 250px; | 13:01 |
HippySurfer | I'll give it a try. I am working on a local development version of the site so I will try some of the options. | 13:02 |
Taggnostr | HippySurfer, also note that the other pages seem to use a 2 columns layout, so if you have a template page used by all the other pages it might be better to keep a 2 columns layout and use the last workaround I suggested | 13:04 |
HippySurfer | I have a separate template for the homepage, so I have some flexibility. Thanks | 13:05 |
Taggnostr | you are welcome, if you have other questions you can ping me | 13:08 |
HippySurfer | thanks again, starting to look forward to the conference now ... | 13:09 |
