Div problems
« on: March 07, 2011, 11:51:12 am »
Ok, so i have 2 divisions inside a table:
Code: (style) [Select]
div#ball {background-image:url('gr/ball.png');
position:relative;
width:600;
height:600;
z-index:1;
}
div#reply{position:relative;
top:315;
z-index:2;
}
Code: (in the table) [Select]
<div id="reply"><img src="gr/nothing.png"> (it changes when you click the button)</div>
<div id="ball"></div>

As you see in the attached pic, there is a giant space above the ball thats the same size as the image in the reply div. Can anyone help me with this?

Could be just the ball being vertically aligned to the bottom. Try adding vertical-align: top; to the #ball definition.

It always has the space above it no matter where i put it. When i highlight the reply div it also highlights the space above the ball, which is why i think its related.

Ok im back in class. Lucky for me, its a 3 hour class for computers  :thumbsup:

So here's the full page:

Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>Magic 8 Ball</title>
<script type="text/JavaScript">
function answer()
{
now = new Date();
num = now.getSeconds() % 16;
document.ans.src=("gr/pic" + num + ".png");
}

function check()
{
if (document.ask.question.value.length == 0)
{
alert("Please enter a question!");
document.ask.question.focus;
}
else
{
answer();
}
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-image:url('gr/8ball.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:left top;
}
.pies {font-family:Arial;
font-size:22px;
}
div#ball{background-image:url('gr/ball.png');
position:relative;
width:600;
height:600;
z-index:1;
}
div#reply{position:relative;
top:315;
padding:0;
z-index:2;
}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#aaaaaa">
<table border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="60%" align="center" bordercolor="#777777">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#999999" align="center" valign="top">
<div id="reply"><img src="gr/nothing.png" name="ans"></div>
<div id="ball"></div>
<br>
<form name="ask" action="">
What is your question?<br>
<input type="text" name="question" size="45"><br>
<input type="button" value="Shake!" onMouseDown="check()">
</form>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Adding vertical-align didnt work either :(

Im thinking my only choice is to do absolute positioning instead of relative, but that could cause compatibility issues with some browsers, and i need to figure out how to get it horizontally centered.

Attached is the images as requested :) (theres a total of 16 answers but theyre about the same size so i only included one)

You are using position:relative I see,
relative looks at the last item in the HTML, and check the coordinates from there...
You might consider using position:absolute, as it then uses the coordinates from the top left of the screen :)

Hope that helps ;)

You could do that using JavaScript...
Code: (HTML/Javascript) [Select]
<div id="myDiv" style="position:absolute;width:50px;height:50px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function $(e) { return document.getElementById(e); }

$('myDiv').style.left = ( (screen.width / 2) - ( $('myDiv').style.width / 2 ) );
$('myDiv').style.top = ( (screen.height / 2) - ( $('myDiv').style.height / 2 ) );
</script>
Haven't tested it, but should work.
