OK - I found a solution - though not what I'd originally intended. Absolute tagged divs seem to follow the content 'only' if that content is wrapped in a div which has a set width. I originally had it set to 100% so all elements floated. Now I've changed that to 750px. Not perfect - but it...

OK, I understand what you're saying - but how do I then get it to move with the rest of the column - short of cutting the image up and inserting it table style? All I want is the thing to sit on top of other DIVs. I thought CSS allowed this sort of layering to take place?

Hi all Please have a look at the following: http://www.nores.org.uk/misc/status_site/index.html I was hoping to have the clock image move with the rest of the content area but it's instead remaining stationary. Can you spot the problem? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I've...

Thanks Trent, it was down to my version of Firefox - was 1.0. something. Problem is gone with latest version. Thanks again

Hi all, I'm experiencing a browser crash whenever I preview the print job on this page: With PNG graphics (same problem occours with JPG) Does not Print preview - Firefox browser hangs: http://www.condottiero.com/test/students/faq2.html Without graphics Does print preview but displays a...

EDIT: Never mind, I found the answer. I was missing a closing </li> tag.

Hi all I'm getting errors on the following W3C page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bricup.org.uk%2Fmisc%2Flandlords%2Ftest.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline Page is here: http://www.bricup.org.uk/misc/landlords/test.html I'm not sure how to fix this...

Problem solved - needed to apply the attribute to the 'a' instead of the 'li': <li><a class="active1" href="add_property.html" target="_self"><span>2: Add Property&nbsp;</span> <img src="../images/bullet_vertical.gif" alt="" width="6" height="10" /></a> <ul> <li><a href="add_property2.html"...

Hi all I simply want the top parent link to have the '#leftmenu .active1' attribute applied to it - not it's child as well as can be seen here: http://www.condottiero.com/queries/Untitled-1.html 'Property Form' should not have the graphic background visible. What am I do wrong? Thanks in...

Hi Foamcow, I found the answer here thanks: -- I don't have any experience with JAWS, but are you by any chance using display: none;/block; to hide/show the sub-menu? If so, I would take them off and see how JAWS treats them, then, if they were the problem, use position: absolute; instead, like...

I honestly don't know - I've only just installed JAWS yesterday in order to 'hear' how my web pages work. If that is the case, it's less than desireable as a user may not want to activate a link for fear of navigating from the page they're on (before they've heard what else exists on the page)...

Edit: I've got - finally. No need for spaces! http://www.ideasdrama.org/test/test.html

Hi all I have created a CSS menu as I thought all it's sub links (unlike a javascript menu) could be read in JAWS Screen Reader: http://www.ideasdrama.org/test/test2.html However when I run it through, all that seems to be read out are the top 4 parent links. Is there code I need to add for...

Thanks Vragabond - I've made changes which seem to be good enough for the present. I've had to add non breaking spaces before the links as anything else I tried in the CSS seemed to break things in either IE or Firefox. It'll do. Thanks again.

Oops - spoke too quickly. Problem solved in IE - but now Firefox is rendering some strange stuff. Child links are narrow while the roll over is the correct width? http://www.ideasdrama.org/test/test.html

Many thanks Vragabond, that was exactly it. I hate to say how long I've spent on fruitless experimentation on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Thanks again!

Hi all Please have a look at the following file: http://www.condottiero.com/test/test.html I'm trying to build a drop down CSS menu which I found on the web (uses a .htc file as well) but I can't get it to perform correctly. The first child link in the dropdown list does what it's supposed...

I'm sure you're both correct. My level of knowledge is definitely below the standard it needs to be (based on time constraints or employers not willing to invest in 'real' training). Can either of you recommend any user friendly books for beginners (which is what I am) or even better, training...

Hi Chris Sounds very logical and I'm sure you're correct. However, I'm really a front end person and self taught (worst of all combinations) so it's not suprising my code looks like tables as that's what I 'grew up' with. Thanks anyway

Absolutely - well - normally yes. But this s a demo and the client hasn't taken a position one way or the other as yet. To be seen. Thanks again.
