Hi, I seem to have a problem regarding the positioning of the heading in my local server web pages.

The following is the problem:

here is the code I currently have.

When I try to move the location of stuff using the design view it does not let me. Only 1 thing in each line, cant even do spaces in the same line which is strange.

Also sometimes I get the error with direct browsing not enabled. any ideas on how to enable it?

here is the style CSS of the template:

It seems as CSS problem - can you share your css with us...

slayasty 26-Jan-14 15:33pm

well this is also the problem with the default template.

but here is the link of the template: http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/stargazer/

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 27-Jan-14 2:35am

I can't see that code for you - please bring up the relevant CSS (for your page) and put it into the OP (improve question)...

slayasty 27-Jan-14 4:43am

mm would it make a difference if here index.html is in the project or not? i cant improve the question right now because im not at my computer. i shall update the question when i get home later. thanks

slayasty 27-Jan-14 13:15pm

ok i added the css. i tried to copy the style.css of the template into the site.css (i think thats the one that is used for the program) but now gives me the "Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory." and i cant seem to fix it :/

Solution 2

My response is about the first CSS you posted...
In the rule .footer add clear:both; to put the footer under main content.

See line 268 in the first CSS and change like this:

CSS

#footer {
  clear: both;
  width: 960px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px 0;
  background: url(images/img07.gif) no-repeat;
}

mm I did do that but now everytime I run the program it gives the The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory error. I did enable the directory browsing but did not work. hope it can be solved! :)

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 27-Jan-14 14:14pm

First of all never enable directory browsing!
Roll back your changes and then see updated solution...

slayasty 27-Jan-14 15:07pm

ooh. can you tell me why never enable directory browsing? :) mm its still giving me the same error :x

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 27-Jan-14 15:42pm

Directory browsing is unsafe as it can expose info about your directory structure - most successful hacking start with a bit of inside intelligent...
"still giving me the same error" - can you elaborate on it?

slayasty 27-Jan-14 16:06pm

mm. well here is a screenshot: http://s622.photobucket.com/user/kidown/media/forbidden403.jpg.html

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter 27-Jan-14 16:12pm

It's about missing default document. Right-click on your default page in the solution and select 'Set as default page'

Hi, try to use div elements to arrange controls in your page..
Replace your particular design part with fallowing & make modifications as per your requirement..If possible after getting your proper design try to remove inline styles for div to centralized css file . Hope this will help you! :)

ASP.NET

<div style="height: 200px">
     <div style="float: left; width: 40%">
         <p>

Check for all css classes & also attributes which are uncommon.Check if there is any online reference in your site for css,jquery or jscript. Though this problem persists with default template also,you can remove it . :)

I not found any positioning issue with template specified inprovided URL. It was working fine for me.

URL-"http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/stargazer/"

For positioning problem, try by commenting fallowing part in css.
-------------------------
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
------------------

** for Direct browsing problem check this link -"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942062"

mm adjusting the px on the margin seemed to work. now if I want to add a picture, is it possible to put it anywhere I want in the page? how do I do so because it will only allow me to put it in the same line as a textbox and acts part of that same <p></p>. Thanks again!

for reference here is what I have for the image: <asp:Image ImageUrl="~/images/textback1.jpg" runat="server" Height="161px" Width="173px" />

Why it will restrict for putting contents in different line ?
May be i am not getting your question clearly.. So if possible post your design part as just you posted above. Where you want to use image in page & for what purpose? tell me what you want to do in little bit brief..

Hi, here is the screenshot of the design view.http://s622.photobucket.com/user/kidown/media/backgroundpic.jpg.html

I would like to have that book picture to the right without having to seperate the label from the textboxes. I hope that clarifies my problem :)
