<div> placement [solved] by stoshrocket on 05-31-2006 at 03:46 PM

ok, another quick problem. I have a webpage consisting of 4 main divs... a header, div1, div2, and the content. What i want it to look like is this...

but when i use the code...

code:
<div id="div1">
(content)
</div>

<div id="div2">
(content)
</div>
along with some css to define the colours and sizes the page ends up looking like this....

anyone got any ideas as to how to solve this problem? thankies

EDIT: solved the problem, i simply created a new div to hold both of these divs, so i ended up having a container to contain divs 1 + 2... :D

well it would help if you actually told us the css you're using it do it in the first place..

RE: <div> placement by stoshrocket on 05-31-2006 at 03:59 PM

code:
.div1 {
margin:5px 5px 5px 5px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
width:140px;
float:left;
background: #2F2117;
border: 1px solid #231705; }

that's it...

well i don't see how you expected positioning to work if you didn't put any code for it..

well, i dont know how to position it, that was the whole point of the thread, you could've seen in my first post that i didnt enter any code for positioning seen as though i said 'and some css for sizes and colours'... can anyone tell me the code you need to position them then please?

EDIT: solved the problem, see top post
