I have a webpage I'm building where the background has one color, and the content, offset from the center, has a different color behind it.

My content is dynamic, so I can't specify different CSS classes based on the page.

For long pages, I need the background colors to reach from the top of the browser to the bottom... simple, add a "min-height" to the body and let the color stretch with the content on the child div.

But if I want to have this same set-up on short pages, the min height will stretch the bodys color but the childs background color stays short and just around the content. If I change the bodys and child to height:100%, it'll work, but the color will stop on long pages where you have to scroll. And apparently you can't nest min-heights, to have both body and child have a minimum height of 100%.

I tried doing the "faux-columns" effect by adding a repeating background image to the body which would have a min-height 100% added. But the problem is my content is offset from center, and I can't position (I think) offset from center.

I've also tried not defining heights anywhere but the child div, and have the child div have a min-height:100%, but that apparently won't expand the parent elements.

I feel like I'm missing something simple. Help!

Greets folks. Work has been slow recently, so I decided to give the website an overhaul. Personally I think it's quite busy and cramped and well... laid out with tables. It was basically built from a template before my arrival.

Anyway, here's what I have come up with and I'm looking for a crit and such. If you have anything you like or dislike, by all means let me know. I'm trying to simplify things while maintaining the current info.

So, be harsh if you must, I won't get offended. Thanks all.

P.S. For some reason, the Give to the College button is wonky in Mozilla-browsers for Mac (Why? I don't know.) Also, the conditional will not load the specific IE 6 style (Why? I don't know.). Other than that, I believe everything works in most browsers as well as validates.

I haven't been doing web design for a few years and I just want to be sure that I cover all my bases. Which browsers should I test on. I've got Firefox, Netscape, Internet Explorer and Opera. Are there anymore that you would recommend? Is there a browser that I didn't mention that you think is fantastic? Let me know. Also, I use Microsoft Windows XP (PC) because I know sometimes Mac/PC factors into what people think is or isn't wonderful.

I have another FireFox question...stuff seems to be randomly messing up now. I have to ask here because I can't think of how to word it and any way I've tried searching for it and haven't found anything.

One day, I opened FireFox and the bottom bar had jumped way up.



Another thing I noticed in here is that on the bottom left is a small orange upside-down v.


It won't allow me to resize it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It came right back. I got so frustrated with this that I started using Internet Explorer 7, but either my computer is a shade to slow for it, it uses too much memory, or both. It just didn't run as smoothly or quick as FireFox. So please, help me get my FireFox back!

Any other browsers I should consider? Is Opera better than FireFox?

I keep having bizarre computer problems, yet I can't detect any viruses, and the only spyware I had was a couple tracking cookies I get from time to time and I deleted them.

Earlier Word wouldn't open, now it will. Sometimes Spybot and Ad-aware will open, sometimes not. Semagic won't open, I get an error message that says "Can't enumerate device." I've gotten the same error when trying to open Word, but now it works.

And sometimes the things that won't open give me an error message that there is not enough memory to run it, even though I have plenty and recently defragged.

I started my computer in safe mode and everything was peachy. I opened Fix-it Utilities, ran some scans and a registry de-frag, as well as running ad-aware and spybot again. All clean. Restarted the computer in normal and tried to open Fix-it, just to test. Still doesn't work. Neither does Semagic and a couple other random things. And randomly, my internet browser fails. Weather I'm in Opera, IE, or Firefox...they all do it. Half the text and images vanish, some look like they are on top of each other. I don't understand.

I'm pretty sure it must be one thing causing all of this, because it all started two days ago together.

Any ideas?

This is on an HP PC with Windows XP by the way.

Date: 10/26/07 (Javascript Community)    Keywords: browser, asp, java, google

**EDIT**
What I am asking for, is if the javascript code below is not compatible with Netscape or Firefox for some reason or if you know of any reason why it might not work in only those browsers. I can't figure out why it's not working in only those two browsers. It gives back the appropriate information in IE, Safari and Opera.

I have attempted to search online for it but I keep hitting dead-ends. If you have suggestions as to what keywords I should be searching for online, that would also be appreciated. I have been searching for "javascript, netscape, safari, compatibility, issues, problems" and various other words like that. The code below does work in IE 6 and 7, Safari, and Opera.

Ok, we've got a form where people put in their first name, last name, email address, and a five digit number. On the confirmation page, we want to return to them: the first initial of their first name and full last name and then the first initial of their first name, first initial of their last name, and the five digits they put in.

For example, if I entered:
First Name: Brittany
Last Name: Jackson
5 Digits: 12345

I would want returned:
bjackson
bj12345

We are using Javascript for it, and where it previously worked, it suddenly stopped working. Thanks to all of your wonderful suggestions and help, I now have it working in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari, but it won't work in Netscape or Firefox and I'm not sure why. I have searched and googled it, but haven't come up with an answer.

On the form page, the javascript we have in the header is (with the script type="text/javascript" in the appropriate < >'s, of course:

//script type="text/javascript"
function verify(forms) {
var errors='';
if ((document.forms.first.value == "") || (document.forms.last.value == ""))
errors+="Please enter your first and last name.\n";
if (errors){
alert(errors)
return false;}

fa = document.forms.first.value.charAt(0);
la = document.forms.last.value.charAt(0)

var len;
var aryText = new Array()
var hyp = "";

if (document.forms.last.value.indexOf ('-') != -1) {
len = document.forms.last.value.indexOf('-')
for (var i = 0; i < len) i++; {
aryText[i] = document.forms.last.value.charAt[i];
hyp = hyp + aryText[i];
}
document.forms.username.value = fa.toLowerCase() + hyp.toLowerCase();
}

else if (document.forms.last.value.indexOf (' ') != -1) {
len = document.forms.last.value.indexOf(' ')
for (var i = 0; i < len) i++; {
aryText[i] = document.forms.last.value.charAt[i];
hyp = hyp + aryText[i];
}
document.forms.username.value = fa.toLowerCase() + hyp.toLowerCase();
}

else{
document.forms.username.value = fa.toLowerCase() + document.forms.last.value.toLowerCase();
}
document.forms.code.value = fa.toLowerCase() + la.toLowerCase() + document.forms.ssn.value;
return true;
}
//

The words after form relate to the fields in the form.


And then in the body, under the start of the form class we have (obviously these would have the start and end tags (<>):

form class="forms" name="forms" action="apply.asp" method="post"

input type="hidden" name="code"
onchange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toLowerCase();" /
input type="hidden" name="username"
onchange="javascript:this.value=this.value.toLowerCase();" /

On our confirmation page/asp page we have:

//
