[SOLVED] Help!!!

[Spida]

Hi. I am new to this forum and hope that someone out there can help.
I have to skin a site to make it compatible with my web site and I have just about got the hang of CSS with HTML but this site is written in ColdFusion and I just don't get it!! I am trying to to drop the header down the page - I have tried changing all the variations of the margin numbers and nothing. This is just the first of my problems - I just know there are going to be a mega load more!!!
Thanks.

The code is below.

Code: Select all

padding:0;
margin:0 0 30px 0;

Can you host this on freewebs or another host please.
It's much easier to help you that way.

[karinne]

A link would be much better as we need to see all the code.

[Monie]

which part do you want to move?

You have a layout problem that you need to solve. The page totally messed up in Firefox but looks ok in IE7.

Hi I am trying to move the logo section down the page, so I have a 30px (ish) margin above the black border at the top.
Yes I know I have a layout problem, I'm going through each section at a time trying to solve the problems that deals with that specific entity. Thanks

[Monie]

On your css, give the body a padding-top properties.

Code: Select all

body {
padding-top: 20px;
margin:0 0 30px 0;
margin-top: 25%;
text-align:center;
font:11px Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background:url(images/backgrnd.jpg);
}

[Spida]

Thanks - will give it a try

[Monie]

Any luck?
I tried that and it seems fine.

[Spida]

Yes it worked fine thanks. Just got to sort out the design layout problems with Firefox!!!! Give me HTML any day! lol

[Monie]

nice..
It is best to design your page in FF and later sort the problem that occur in other browser such as IE, (I read that somewhere...)

[Marc]

Generally if you code the site for Firefox, it usually works in IE6/7 apart from a few px padding/margin. Atleast that is what happens with me!
