Gap in Image

Recommended Posts

Graeme, you can usually avoid problems like this by starting out your CSS with a * {margin: 0; padding: 0, border; 0;}.

 

And I'm pretty sure we've taught you better than this: :unsure:

Graeme, you added:

 

height: 200;

 

try it with:

 

height: 200px; -- that'll work.

 

The only time you do NOT need a unit of measure, is when something is zero - zero is zero, no matter if it's years or Hummel figurines - or in the size declaration of an image - as in <img src="whatever.jpg" height= "300" width="400"> - Personally, I apply the px here, too, but it does seem to be understood that image dimensions are given in pixels.

 

And the reason I deleted you <br>s is that it's a tag for a line break - it's not paragraph spacing, and it's not to create space. What you have up there, are 2 separate paragraphs, and they should each be surrounded with an opening and closing paragraph tag. And if you want more space between your <h2> header and your paragraph, apply margins and/or padding to either your h2 or your p tag.

 

And, you're using an XHTML doctype, even so HTML would be the correct choice, so if you do use the break tag, it has to have the closing slash, not just <br> like the one (improperly) following the <h2>.

Hello Again,

 

I've stumbled across another query. I would like the name at the top to be in red, I altered the

 

#logo h2 {

text-align: center;

font-size: 1.8em;

color: #FF0000;

}

 

but it still shows in the old colour. I'm guessing that because it is a link I need to alter someting else but not too sure what.

 

Thank you

 

Best wishes

Graeme

Hello Andrea,

 

Hands slapped!

 

The logo is an image. I altered the alignment when it was text and this was ok but now it is an actual image I need to change the alignment in .imageholder but not too sure how. I tried altering the float but I guess this is not the ideal way plus how do I add padding to it?

 

Thank you,

 

Best wishes

Graeme

Here's a more in-depth version of Andrea's comment above:

 

-- remove the #imgholder div entirely. There's no need for it, and the less code you have, the better (easier to understand, faster to download)

-- add "text-align:center;" to #logo

-- remove the "height" from #logo (no need for this)

-- the adjust the spacing either by adjusting the padding on #logo, or on "#logo img"

Assuming you are still using http://www.btinternet.com/~gj.d/ian/

 

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. The 10px top padding on #logo is the only thing that is modifying the positioning of the logo image at the moment. Removing that would move the logo up. Beyond that, there isn't much you can do, besides recreating the logo image so it has less height.

Please tell me again about those flippin < /br>'s

 

Just read the post # 3 to this thread - I explained it there.

 

I think you're getting confused by the term 'text-align' - it doesn't just align test, but anything in that division.

 

And yes, you could create your logo image as wide as your content with the text in the middle, or you could try what we've been suggesting above. For that, however, I'd first even out the image itself, as the uneven sides you have now won't allow it to truly appear centered.
