my html is
<div id="heading1">
<ul class="heading">
<li>Geelong</li>
</ul>
</div>
and css is
.heading {
font-size: 24px;
text-align: center;
list-style-image: url('img/stationary/marker.png');
}
If I do the css inline it works but not otherwise.
With that code:
<div id="heading1">
<ul class="heading">
<li>Geelong</li>
</ul>
</div>
.heading{
font-size: 24px;
text-align: center;
list-style-image: url('https://www.google.fr/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png');
}
The list is displaying correctly with Google logo as bullet.
It seems that your problem is the image's URL that is wrong. You may verify that it points to an image that exists (think that it's a relative link)
I'm playing around with a simple website (I'm a beginner with HTML and CSS), where I made a simple menu with some submenus. The content of the page, mainly images and videos will be displayed in a scrollbox.
Now I thought that instead of creating different subpages, it'd be better to be able to jump down to the relevant content. I've tried out different solutions, but something's not working out - or at least, jsfiddle doesn't show it.
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li>
main menu
<ul>
<li>section 1</li>
<li>section 2</li>
<li>section 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
that's my code for one part of the menu, here's the scrollbox with images:
<div class="scroll" style="float:left;border: 1px solid black; width: 40em;
height: 30em; line-height: 3em; overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x:hidden;
text-align: center; margin:5%; margin-bottom: 5%; background-color: #ffffff;
color: #ffffff;">
<img src="http://websiteurl.com/image.jpg" style="float: left; width: 95%;
padding: 3%; padding-right: 3%; display: block" alt="image1">
<a name="section1"><img src="http://websiteurl.com/image2.jpg"
style="float: left; width: 95%; padding: 3%; padding-right: 3%; alt="image2"></a></div>
So as you can see, I would like clicking on the menu link "section 1" cause to jump down the scrollbox to the desired image location without changing the page itself.
How would that be possible? or: where's the error in the anchoring? Thank you all for answers!
It's difficult reading the code with the inline css. I'd first suggest moving the css to a stylesheet, that would surely help readability and debugging.
Have you tested without the images or without the scroll box?
An anchor tag is normally just
Click Here
or if using images instead of links
<img scr="imageLocation"/>
and then the anchor part is
<a name="myAnchorName"></a>
I'm using a bit of javascript to create a dropdown that appears when an image is clicked. Currently the initial image is centered, but the drop down is appearing at the left of the frame... and I'm stumped. Help would be greatly appreciated. My code is below:
<div align="center" class="dropdown">
<img alt="Select Your District Here" onclick="showMenu()" src="images/buttons/select_district.png" style="width: 200px; height: 36px;" />
<ul aria-labelledby="dLabel" class="dropdown-menu" id="district-dd2" onmouseout="hideMenu()" role="menu" style="display:none">
<li>
Arbuckle</li>
<li>
Country Estates</li>
<li>
Strawberry</li>
<li>
Walnut Ranch</li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showMenu(){
document.getElementById("district-dd2").style.display="block";
}
function hideMenu(){
document.getElementById("district-dd2").style.display="none";
}
</script></div>

EDIT: CSS for dropdown-menu added. FYI, this site is using joomla beez template with bootstrap, with css heavily modified. the code below comes from bootstrap.css
.dropdown-menu > li > a {
clear: both;
color: #333333;
display: block;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 20px;
padding: 3px 20px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
EDIT 2: More CSS - After scouring all my css files, it looks like all the references to dropdowns are in bootstrap.css. Rather than past all of them here (which would be long), i posted the CSS as a txt file here: http://www.waterutilitymanagementservices.com/boostrap.txt
So I currently have the logo sitting in the very left of the navbar, however I would like it in the middle. I have tried almost everything on these forums and on google searches and I can't seem to change it.
Here's the code for it:
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
<a class="brand" href="#">
<img alt="logo.png"src="img/logo.png" style="height:60px;>
</div>
Thanks,
Here is a sample which puts the logo in the middle of the toolbar: http://jsbin.com/efagoj/1/edit.
The only key changes you need to make is to give float: none; margin: 0 auto; to the a tag with .brand class. We add float: none; because in bootstrap .brand has a float: left; in it and we don't want it to be like that. margin: 0 auto; is to center the link.
We also need to add text-align: center; to the div with container-fluid.
Due to current limitations on getting DIV tags to work well across browser platforms for the particular liquid layout I desire, I have opted to use a combination of Tables and DIVs for layout. That being said, a couple of issues remain.
The FIRST issue is that in Firefox, my table row height for my footer is being rendered differently than it is being rendered in IE when using a table with a height of 100%. What happens is that in Firefox the footer row for the table has a height that is greater than the height specified for the table row. This, in turn, throws off my footer layout.
Here is the code for the page:
<html>
<head>
<meta NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Cold Fusion Applications and Development">

And here is the code for the sytle sheet:
html, body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: :#a02f1d;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
a {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 12;
font-weight: 500;
}
.header {
color: #ff0000;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 116px;
background-image: url(stripe.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
.fullheight {
height:100%;}
.lf4 {
float: left;
margin-top: 0px;
clear: left;
width: 240px;
margin-left: 190px;
color: #a02f1d;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: semi-bold;
font-style: italic;
}
.lfc {
float: left;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-left: 20px;
color: #a02f1d;
font-size: 48px;
font-weight: semi-bold;
font-style: italic;
}
.rfl {
float: right;
margin-top: 24px;
margin-right: 20px;
clear: right;
}
.content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
overflow: hidden;
color: :#a02f1d;
}
.spacer {
background-color:#a02f1d;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.clearspacer {
background-color:#000000;
}
.footer {
color: #ffffff;
background-color:#a02f1d;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 30px;
clear: both;
}
.footertext {
color:#ffffff;
margin-top: 6px;
font-size: 12px;
}
The SECOND issue has to do with modifying the existing layout so that there is a centered vertical area of 760px in width that displays in a shade of color different from the surrounding viewport. The primary difficulty is that in order to get my footer to stick to the bottom in both browsers and resize with the viewport, I had to re-adopt a table layout. The current strategy, however, is to use as few nests as possible in order to benefit from the speed and clarity from using DIVs. I would opt to use a DIV layout to the exclusion of a TABLE layout if it were not for the apparently, currently insoluble problem of getting a working sticky-footer to work with a DIV liquid layout.
I know this is quite unrelated, but I recommend that you use the w3c validator to validate your HTML once in a while.
A couple suggestions:
Add a doctype - if use use the right one you can get IE to standards mode rather than quirks mode http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html, so behaviour will be more consistent between IE and other browsers.
As suggested by K4emic - validate your markup.
Add a css reset to zero default margins and paddings, a good starting point here http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/.
You will find that these things will make chasing down layout bugs a lot easier. Otherwise, you just won't know where to start, is it your css, your html, the default browser stylings, the rendering mode of IE......?
As the other responders pointed out you first have to make sure that your document is well formed. That is, it must conform to a DTD. I will point out one issue that is easy to spot:
<tfoot height="28"><td height="28" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- FOOTER -->
<div class="clearspacer"><img src="1.gif" height="10" width="1"></div>
<div class="footer"><div class="footertext"> w w w . c 4 s q . o r g </div></div>
<!-- FOOTER END -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
In this snippet you can see that your
<tfoot>
element is unclosed. It should contain
<tr>
but that is missing.
These small errors are probably causing the inconsistent behavior that you are witnessing. After they have been corrected if you are still getting the behavior then you can look at the browser differences. Some HTML editor like Frontpage and Dreamweaver can be set to out put code that conforms to a DTD and highlight areas that do not conform. I would recommend using one.
