Css Template Code Question


555

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been working on a Joomla site and have not taken a CSS programming course yet in school, the site I am working on has a huge space gap within the pages and I got a answer as to what it could be but it was not really a detailed answer so I have no clue on how to fix the code or start at, maybe someone can please help that has more code knowledge then me?

here is what I was told that needs to be fixed, it seems to be a template error with a new extention that was installed

"CSS in your template is the issue. I suggest to set "float: left;" for div#content_outleft"

I looked threw the code and do not see a div#content_outleft in there.. here is the code

@charset "utf-8";
#left_border {
	float:left;
	width: 100%;
	text-align: left;
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	margin: 0 auto;
}  
#right_border {
	float: right;
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	background-position: right;
}
#bottom {
	float:none;
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-position: bottom;
	width: 1000px;
}
#bottom_right {
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: bottom right;
}
#bottom_left {
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: bottom left;

Hi 555,

Div #content_outleft

I think this is the declaration you are looking for.

#content_outleft {

margin: 0 0 0 188px;

If you are using Windows, I would suggestion downloading a Text Editor, where you can search through the CSS code lines, to make the job easier for you.

I think I get it, so it should be this instead..?

#content_outleft {
	float: left;
}

I just got notepad++ which seems to be very good for editing code, without having to google and read tons of pages, can you please give me a quick summary of what the commands in CSS are "Div, and Li"?

also with Bash shell scripting "fi" command? I am going to school for programming now but have to take a bunch of dumb classes first (imo) like "computer concepts" I slept through that one, "intro to software programming" using puesdo code which I would have rather learned C++ for the semester, does not make sense to me to learn a fake programming language.. cant wait till I can start taking real programming classes, Thanks man!

May I recommend you this tutorial on CSS. It should clear a lot of things for you. It also have other tutorials like HTML5, so I think it would be a good starting place to learn, I use it sometimes when I am doing a bit of PHP coding myself.

Pseudo code isn't about learning a fake language it is about getting the algorithm clear in your mind before sitting down and writing it on the computer. You will find that it can be very useful when learning as you concentrate on the algorithm separately to the coding and it is the algorithms that make the most difference rather than the language used.

Someone told me to do this "Set width for the main container, remove left margin. See how layouts in other templates are coded."

arghhh.. next semester I'm taking a CSS class, I must have ADD or something, I cant concentrate and read all of that stuff on w3schools and understand it. Just need to fix this one final error, it is driving me crazy..
