Dreamweaver trouble

[CML-1591]

Anyone know how to create a DIV tag (i think) within a DIV tag and keep it on the same line but the other side of the page?

Thanks for the help!

Code Select Expand

<div align="right">

yes, that what was i was thinking - i was just being lazy about the code.

But reading through the request again i'm not really sure what you are after Craig.

What is it you are trying to achieve?
A table can be used just as easily to insert text and have it placed in columns or similar...

If you could supply some more information i'm more than sure you will get one or more solutions to your problem.

I have a web comp!



I have a width of 1000px (this too big?) and so i made the header thing 1000px, i figure if i made that width smaller i could then do a second header for the top nav and have it along side ?

I'm guessing I can't have the red and white writing on this?

Thanks folks!

This is the first time I have used dreamweaver since year 10 and its using xhtml and css which i haven't come across before. The woman just said insert a div within a div and it just goes underneath.

To have the things in different places I haven't a clue if to use padding, positioning or any of the other things that are similar lol!

Doesn't Dreamweaver also have a WYSIWYG thing? If so, then just doing the old drag-n-drop should sort the problem out.

Mind you, 'wizziwig' does tend to defeat the object of learning website coding. Vim!

Have a look at http://www.oswd.org/ for some ideas.

on a coding side - using plain html i would ahve used a table to insert you menu options as displayed on the webpage pictured.
you've defined a page with a width of 1000 pixels which is more than acceptable nowadays.
So just insert a single line table with the columns defined to set widths and colour and then insert you links...

If memory serves CSS does it in a slightly more refined manner. Never really got into it big time though!

The current standards are that tables are used for tabular data not positioning. All positioning should be done by css div's and the display and content should be separate css for display and html for content.

Back to the OP though you can do this with a float.

In this case you have one div for the header and then one each for the left and right content so the html code would be something like

Code Select Expand


<div class="header">
<div class="header_left">
left content here
</div>
<div class"header_right">
right content here
</div>
</div>


Then your css would be something like

Code Select Expand


.header {width:1000px; height:100px;}
.header_left {width:200px; float:left;}
.header_right {width:300px; float:right;}


This would give you a 500px clear space between the two divs.

Hope this helps.
