CSS help

Alright. This Should Be Simple (TSBS), alas it isn't, but my background isn't working right. As in, not at all.

My site (croxis.net) has this for the basic structure:

body
div id=content
div id=left
/div
div id=right
/div
/div

/body

#content has a nice brown background color which isn't showing up and it is making me sad. Why?

posting up your stylesheet might help. :P

Looking at your CSS file I find the reference for Left and Right but not for Content.

If the DIV Tag can not find the Content ID reference within the style sheet it will not produce the desired result.

Unless I'm missing something?

I think that's what it is Croxis...

Your #Content label is missing...

;)

[CODE]

#left {
float: left;
width: 550px;
background: #66360E;
}

#right {
width: 250px;
float: left;
background: #66360E;
}

/* All the content boxes belong to the content class. */
.entry { border: 1px solid #77471F; }

/* Text Styles */
[/CODE]

That's because I took the whole thing out altogether and decided to go about a slightly more complicated but different route =P

it was #content { background:#66360E;}

JackN

ok... I'm confused...

Is your DIV tag still referencing the (non-existant) "Content" Class as an ID?

:confused:

croxis

Nope =P I took it all out. The problem, I think, was the left and right ids were ignoring the content background and just taking the body background

What browser was the problem in? Floats act weird, in general. I recommend against using them unless absolutely necessary or unless you are building an article with pictures.

croxis

absolute placements are perfered then?

Croxis - I need more info before I can help you. It's hard to tell you any useful info on how to fix it if I don't know what the actual code was that you had issues with and what browser the issue was in. Every browser is different.

croxis

nah, don't worry about it :)
