Full Length Header

Full Length Header

≠Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and I'm using CSS Sculptor and I like the preset CSS layouts. I have a very limited and basic understanding of HTML & CSS and I'm trying to separate a full length header from the rest of the CSS layout. (Ideally having the header at the left, top of the browser and having the CSS layout begin maybe 250 pixels below that) I've seen it done many times all over the web (example: Adobe's product support tutorial site) But I cannot figure this out after much research and experimentation. Can anyone assist me ?

If you look at the CSS files generated by Sculptor, you should find a class called:

#fullWidthHeader

and to get the result you need, you will just need to add this line of code to that class:

margin-bottom:27px;


You can adjust the number as needed.

Let me know if you still have a question.

One way that you could do this is to start with a full width header layout then edit the css. In here choose the box tab and select the outer wrapper, it should be just below the full width header.

With this selected you can move down on the page by adjusting the top margin value. In my test I just set the top margin to be 250 px. This put the content area down 250px on the page well below the header.

What have you tried and what are the results you are getting?

Full length header

To All who provided me with prompt response,

I did experimentation using the suggestions and ultimately decided to do away with full length headers for my page design. It is good to know how to do that in the future however, should I ever get a client that requests such a feature. I'm in the process of building my site: www.impeccabledesign.net and from the homepage if you click the rollover link for free consultation it takes you to where I attempted to place a form using form builder. I placed the form relatively with a top margin of -300 pixels or so and it displayed how I wanted it to when previewing in dreamweaver but once posting it online....the form is pushed about 500-700 pixels down. Does anyone know why it is doing this ? I'm sorry to hassle anyone I'm a neophyte to web design, part of the reason I sought out web assists products. I have limited HTML, CSS experience. Thanks in advance for your help !

It looks like you are putting it in between the left and rite columns that are floated. It looks like if I add a float left to the form css it adjusts it properly.

This setting is in this css file:

CSSFormBuilder/FD_Standout_Default.css

In here on line 83 is this style, add in the float left here like this:

form.Standout_Default {
background-color:#999999;
font-family:Futura,"Trebuchet MS",Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11pt;
padding:60px;
width:20em;
float:left; /* this is the float that was added */
}
