hey, I'm re-designing my site (yet again) and I found a good flv player template using CSS, thing is, I'm trying to customize it before I add it to my site. the design Ive chosen is this one: http://files.filmsbynick.com/branit/tabbed.htm but the back and forward buttons seem a little useless in terms of design, plus I cant seem to get the back button to go inside the table (making it look weird) I've left the directory open so you can see the CSS file I have used. http://files.filmsbynick.com/branit can anyone help? thanks
nope, hasnt changed. do you see the buttons either side of the content box? I dont want then there, or at least have everything shifted to the right so the button fits inside the main box
Ah so you want the arrows overlayed on the image/text? The two buttons appear in the light grey box for me. Changing the code to remove them is easy enough, so if that's what you are after I'll post the updated code
I'm using Opera and it looks like it does on FireFox. Checking IE7, they're in the box, but the whole thing ins't centered. Checking your HTML/CSS: First of all, remove the <CENTER></CENTER> from the document - don't use that Instead, either put the following into your CSS file: body {text-align: center;} or, in your HTML file, change <body> to <body style="text-align: center;"> Secondly: You have quite a few <div></div> codes that don't seem to be doing anything atm Thirdly: Remove the <p>&nbps</p> and turn into either: specifying the margin of the top <div> in the CSS file, or into <br /> tags. Fourthly: wouldn't it be easier to change the <table> into <div>'s instead? I think it would. Anyway, to get the button's more into the center, change your <div class="scrollable"> into <div class="scrollable" style="padding-left: 40px;"> and that should put them more or less into the box You can check how they fit together by giving them borders: style="border: 1px solid black;"
thanks, i'll try that. the reason the whole thing isnt made with divs is that i know jack all about css. I know HTML, and i found this flv player with playlist template and wanted to integrate it
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp If you want nick, if you send me a picture of how you want it all to look, I'd be more than happy to div it all for you. That is, if you want. Or you can learn CSS from w3schools
thanks walsh, i'll boot up good old photoshop and do some editing. although I still want to keep the functionality of the flv player/playlist/menu thingymajig if thats possible? edit, attached attachment please be awake that i might well want to tweak things in time, and add/change buttons etc... so if you could either comment the CSS code for me, or make it easy for a noob to understand whats going on, that would be great, cheers
All things are possible Nick Find attached a .rar with your stuff in it: Note: I do know there's a little banner I've not put on, but I was trying for a while to get it to look alright in all browsers - but I wasn't having any luck. I'll have another go later on, but I've got some things I really need to do before hand
many thanks mate. I hope the little graded bar can be fixed for all browsers. If I could be a total pain in the backside, could you possibly do a version of the page without the player as well, but make it so that the dark box is scrollable (as in I could have loads of stuff, and you can scroll down to see it) thus keeping the whole site in the big black box? i would like the keep the graded box to the right as it is as well (no scrolling) I owe you big time dude, and I'm starting to see how easy CSS makes it to change stuff on a website ps i know I've been cheeky throwing this added request in
Find the attached files to your specifications common.css obviously needs to replace the common.css in your player/scripts/csstabbed folder
Yup - it is. You can really have as many CSS files as you want - but I prefer to keep CSS files to a minimum.
just an update thos those who might be interested, with many many thanks to S Walch, I have a nice design here http://www.files.filmsbynick.com/branit/ the links arent set up properly yet, but the main design is down now
