I am working on a project that is rather time sensitive. The task is to make a micro site that users can access through their smartphones, where they will be able to access a number of movies. They will scan a QR code (I know they are dead, I didn't plan the campaign). and land on this site. I am not a fontender, but know my way around html + css and I have been able to find a few things around the internet, but now I've come to a dead end. I am optimizing the site for max-width 640px with a 100% scalable width down to min-width of 320px. I've gotten it all working quite well on my test site, implemented fonts etc. but I run into a problem when I am trying to place the div #textbox inside the #sunny div, on top of the #image div. I have managed to center the #textbox, but I can't get it to align vertically and "stay" vertically aligned no matter what size screen the user views the page at.
Here is my code and css:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">

</div>
<div id="textbox">
<p>Jacket Name</p>
See Details
</div>
</div>
</div>

</html>
And here is the CSS:
#font-face { font-family: FuturaStdBook; src: url('../fonts/FuturaStd-Book.otf'); }
#font-face { font-family: FuturaStdBook; font-weight: bold; src: url('../fonts/FuturaStd-Bold.otf'); }
#container
{

max-width:640px;
min-width:320px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#header
{
padding: 20px;
}
#logo
{

display:block;
margin:auto;
}
#sunny
{
width: 100%;
max-width:640px;
min-width:320px;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
#textbox {
background-color:white;
width:33%;
left:33%;
top:30px;
min-width: 70px;
height:50px;
text-align: center;
z-index:1;
position: absolute;
text-transform:uppercase;
padding-top:10px;
padding-bottom:10px;
color:#a3a3a3;
}
#textbox p {
font-size:14px;
line-height:0;
}
#textbox a {
font-size:12px;
color:#666666;
}
#image {
width:100%
position: absolute;
}
#image img{
width:100%;
height: auto;
}
N.B: Please bare in mind that I need to repeat the code, and have like 7 or 8 "identical" areas under each other, so the CSS have to be applicable to this design.
Hope someone is able to help me out :)
Seems like its a case of using too many divs. What you need to do is to place your elements in a div with position:relative, and then position the elements themselves as position:absolute and go about positioning them as you'd like.

i have made a simple website using a free template. i am confused because the images on my version are not showing but the images on the demo version are working and both have exactly the same css files and html because i copy pasted. i will post them below. my confusion lies in the fact that i dont see any of the images reffered to in either the html or the css stylesheet. the styling is there for the images but no link to the file location. 2 questions.
this is what the site should look like:
http://www.quackit.com/html/templates/download/bryantsmith/greenmountain/
this is what my site looks like:
https://cherry-cupcake-30790.herokuapp.com/
as you can see background, background to the navbar and main images are missing but other styling and css are implemented.
why are the images not showing on my version?
why are the images showing on the demo version 0hen there seems to be no reference to the actual file location of the image (only styling of the image)?
thanks.

<h3>Template Notes</h3>
<p>The main image can be changed by either replacing the current image with another one of the same size (900x402), or using a new one of what ever dimensions you'd like. If you choose the latter, you must open up style.css and change the dimensions of #mainpic, as well as the file name if that is different. If you would like to move the heading around in the above image, find "#mainpic h1" in style.css and modify it's "left" and "top" properties, this is also true for the h2 tag.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>More information</h3>
<p>I decided to leave the content portion open for the templates users to do as they wish with a blank canvas. I don't like to restrict my users too much, and for this reason I leave the defining of any content related styles to you.</p>

for problem 1, because your website's css is empty, nothing in. The css link is https://cherry-cupcake-30790.herokuapp.com/assets/application-e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855.css .
for problem 2, the image link refer is not in the html, but in the css file.
#mainpic {
background-image: url(images/main.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 900px;
height: 354px;
}
the image link is http://www.quackit.com/html/templates/download/bryantsmith/greenmountain/images/main.jpg
I've got the following css file :
.h_bg{
padding:22.4% 0;
background-size:100% auto;
background-position:center top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
position:relative;
height: 2em;
}
.h_bg h1{
width: 100%;
position:absolute;
line-height:1;
top: 23%;
color:#fff;
font-size:500%;
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 15%;
background-size:89px 183px;
}
#media screen and (min-width:1001px)
{
.h_bg{
background-image:url(/images/bg1-desktop.png);
}
}
#media screen and (min-width:1001px) and (max-width:1300px)
{
.h_bg h1{
background-size:7% auto;
padding-bottom: 16%;
}
}
And the following html page :
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Beauty app</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="h_bg">
<h1>text</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
css link extactly to the place, where css file is. Unfortunately, text string is invisible and this code shows blank page. What can be a problem? Any help would be appreciated.
the problem is here:
color:#fff;
The #fff is forcing your H1 text in h_bg class to be white color, therefore it is invisible
Just incase you hit similar issues in future. This is how you can debug it.
Open your browser (i was using chrome) then right click on the element, for your instance its kind of difficult because you can't see it then click on inspect element.
On the bottom right corner you should see your CSS properties, try play around with it till you found your problem.
I'm trying to make a horizontal nav bar on my website and I want to use CSS to position it closely under my websites name header and a portion of the background of the nav bar behind the icon to the left. Here is my code
<!doctype html>
<html>

var keepTime;
function setupPicChange()
{keepTime=setTimeout("changePic()", 5000);}
function changePic()
{currPic++; if(currPic>totPic)currPic=1;
document.getElementByld("image").src="image"+currPic+".jpg";
setupPicChange();}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setupPicChange();">
<div id="wrapper">

</html>
Not much to see here I guess it's obvious what I am doing, and my CSS
#charset "UTF-8";
body{background-image:url(../images/bg_bodytakeover.png);
}
#wrapper{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;

font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 75pt;
text-shadow: 2px 2px #FFFFFF;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
nav {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
background: #FF6600;
top: 110px;
}
#list-nav{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:calc(100% - 192px);
float:right;
top: 125px;
}
#list-nav li{
float:left;
width: 25%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#list-nav li a{
text-decoration:none;
width:100%;
background:#FF6600;
color:#eee;
float:left;
text-align:center;
display:block;
}
#list-nav li a:hover{
background:#1d8ed0;
color:#000;
}
Now I want to have my nav bar very closely under the giant header text and the orange line background to go under the icon to the end of the white content border. I've tried all sorts of padding and margin mixing but its really just making a mess. I have looked around extensively but nothing seems to be working for me what works for others. Or I can't get all of what I'm looking to do. Anyone got any tips?
EDIT:I've tried a lot of padding to get the nav bar to stretch the screen but it keeps breaking the even separation of the buttons and their hover effects, is there another way to sort them evenly?
*SECOND EDIT NEW QUESTION*
I am trying to have my images change back and forth between the two after 5 seconds. I have seen code from other sites and don't see why it isn't working. Anyone notice what is wrong?
Update for comment:
I've updated the fiddle here to have exactly what you want. If you can't use calc on the list items and since you have a set width of 1000px, you can hardcode the widths in by doing this: width: (1000px - 192px) / 2, which would be width: 202px
Original answer:
If you will always have 4 menu items, set width: 25% (100% / 4) on each #list-nav li. Here's an updated fiddle
I also set the margin and padding on the li elements to 0.
Is this what you are looking for?
I created a webpage in my mac. I tested it with the common browsers, like Chrome, FF and Safari. It is perfect. I just got the opportunity to test the website in IE. It looks disastrous- The logo has gone too much to the right. I believe its the floats that's causing this. I'm posting some codes here, hoping to get some help from the experts here. Pls help me. Thanks!

This is how it looks like in IE:
instead of setting width to body, you can create a wrapper like
<div id="wrapper"></div> and set width for wrapper, and also its not good practice to give margin in minus values, and also you had set the width and height for each divs, thats why its looks like that in IE. and please make correction then will looks good in IE though you may need to make some correction with respect to margin and padding for IE.
I want to create a horizontal scrolling image panel that consists of large images with a max height of 800px. When the browser is resized I want the entire selection of images to get smaller/bigger according to the size of the browser window. I want the top of the images to hang 200px at the top with a 30px margin at the left (when page is loaded) and 30px at the bottom.
I am really new to this so any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated

What is the most efficient way to do this?
Many thanks in adavnce
EDIT
On page load
On scroll
On 75% decrease window
How about something like these changes to your CSS for the "#images" and "img" sections...
#images {
position:absolute;
left:20px;
bottom:30px;
top:200px;
border: 2px ridge gray;
width: 90%;
display: inline-block;
overflow: scroll;
white-space: nowrap;
}
img {
padding:10px;
width:50%;
height:95%;
}
You can play around with those values but you should get a horizontally scrolling image section that changes on resizing the window...
You can take the gray border off if you'd like - I was just using it for testing...
EDIT
Uploaded a code sample with absolute positioning instead of relative as that keeps the image section 30px off the bottom...
I would change the image-related size measurements to % rather than px. That way the size of your images, paddings, margins, etc. will change with the size of the browser window although the proportions will stay the same.
example: img {width:80%; height:60%; etc.}
edit
Using part of Zack's answer, I would change your css img rule to:
img {
padding:10px;
width:3.799;
height:100%;
}
That will give you an image that adjusts with the browser window size.
However you will need to use percents (%) to adjust your positioning rules (i.e. left, top, padding, margin, etc.) to keep all proportions the same.
Note
At this point I am only adjusting the example, so for the record Zack's design is more efficient, and would be better if the look satisfies you.
