PicnicTutorials Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 well... =) I did that, but now my longer pages show a gap.. You can see it here: http://ticanew.com/public/classifieds.php I see what your talking about. Uhm... try using a margin:0 0 8px on the #left instead of padding. And then remove the bottom-border on the #menubot. That "should" do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 It worked for the most part - im happy with it. The longer pages look great. But the homepage loses that white border on the bottom. If we cant get it perfect, thats okay - i doubt anyone will see it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should be able to add a 1px bottom border to the grey colored faux column and then use a 9px margin on the #left. Something like that...

I have a small question - i am new at this, when i place margin or padding at :0 0 8px; which is top/left/bottom/right? No problem, it goes like this. padding:0(top) 0(right) 8px (bottom) 0(left); In your case, the left and right are the same so they can be combined like this. padding:0 0(left/right) 8px; If the top/bottom and left/right are the same, they can be like this. padding:0(top/bottom) 10px(left/right); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PicnicTutorials Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The only time "I" use padding-left:10px instead of padding:0 0 0 10px; is when I need to override a padding rule above and I don't want to zero out the other values.

AndaleTheGreat Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) so, yeah. i almost posted a question. then something hit me. turns out i'm dumb and forgot to change a DIV ID while experimenting. Anyway, I've been trolling this forum about a week and learned a ton from you guys. i only first started this project about 2 weeks ago and most of the time from then to now i've been watching Doctor Who instead Point is you've really helped me out without my ever asking a question. Thought I should post this for others to see when they come looking for how to build a footer. It features multiple text areas on the same line as well as a link to firefox on a button. I guessed my whole way thru this stupid thing cuz i guess its not too popular a feature.

lesley Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi, i have a new question. It seems that this should be easy but i cant get it to work. I am trying to add a UL and OL to this page http://www.ticanew.com/public/about/tds.php However, i need the margins to go back to default, but every time i try it messes up the menu since it also is a list.
