help with 3-column layout
Hello all, I have a layout here that should be pretty easy because it is quite static, yet I’m having trouble getting the divs to behave. The layout is here:
http://hapkidobcn.com/tecs.php
Very much a work in progress right now. The problem I have is that I need the 3 columns in the center to be top aligned with each other and have a certain margin between them.
Absolute positioning solves that problem nicely, but then the div that contains them does not flow with the content because I just remembered that absolute positioning removes the element from the flow.
So the question is, what is the simplest way to obtain such a layout?
I’d like to solve it for these 3 columns, but I can’t really change the container because I have other pages that are working with the layout as is, that is, I need to find a solution that affects the 3 columns and hopefully not the rest of the layout.
Thanks
CSS 3.0 Background Properties
Hey Folks,
I am back with CSS 3.0 background options I hope youll love this one .
All the details you can find here http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/c…12&cntsId=7400
Some of the details covered the above article:
Background (multiple)
The css3 gives the possibility to apply more background images to a single element and not just the single one as specified in the css2 property background.
Background clip
The background-clip property is used to determine whether the background extends into the border or not. The default is border-box, which means it DOES extend into it, but if you set it to padding-box, it doesnt. if you use content-box the background only extends to the content area.
Background origin
The background-origin CSS property determines the background positioning area (the origin of a background-image). background-origin does not apply when background-attachment is fixed.
Background size
The background-size property specifies the size of the background images. The contain values scales the image, while preserving its aspect ratio (if any), which may leave uncovered space. The cover scales the image so that it covers the whole area, completely covering the element, but perhaps not showing part of the image if the element and the image did not have the same aspect ratio.
You can find full code and details from the above link. Know the new features in easy way.
Please share any other good links on CSS 3.0 .
Help with choosing a layout for my design. Elastic layouts losing favour?
It’s been a long time since I did any CSS coding so I’m a bit rusty.
I’m working on a personal site at the moment and the basic layout is going to be 2 columns. The widest column will contain a further three columns for some of the text content. The narrowest column is going to house the main navigation and the logo. This navigation and logo needs to remain visible whenever the user scrolls down the page, preferably without using Javascript (I think it can be done with CSS alone). The column for the navigation and logo should ideally be a fixed width, with the main content column being flexible. Hopefully that made sense.
The overall page width needs to be constrained so that users with maximised browser windows is not going to get a weird layout or have the line length be too long. The user needs to be able to control the text size (so the text needs to scale according to the user’s set text size in the browser options) without breaking the layout.
So I’m thinking I should probably go with an elastic or a hybrid layout for this rather than fixed or fluid. But in Dan Cederholm’s Handcrafted CSS book, there is a chapter covering fluid grids which was written by another guy. This guy reckons that elastic layouts are losing favour. Has any of you guys got any idea why this might be? I’ve Googled but found nothing.
Safari Width issue – heeeelp ;)
Hi people,
I’m new to this forum – I have been stumped on this problem for a few days now and feel I need external help!!
In Firefox it’s fine.
In Safari 5.0 on a Mac it is showing a horizontal scrollbar as if the was like 1800px wide… and on IE it has a greyed out horizontal scrollbar
I have a feeling it is some CSS somewhere causing this to happen (margin / padding somewhere maybe?) but I can’t find it.
The “computed style” when I inspected the element of the shows width: 1846px; I don’t use safari much apart from cross-browser compatibility testing so not sure what “computed style” means. I assume it’s the calculated style of what I am looking at in that specific browser with my computer hardware, just an assumption – please correct if I am wrong.
Any help much appreciated – I have wasted enough time on this – hopefully it’s an easy one to fix.
Thanks in advance,

Div left aligns in firefox, centre aligns in IE
Hi.
I have a sliding footer ad on this site: http://www.learn-to-play-tennis.com/ using a jquery plugin.
When viewed in firefox it is aligned to the left and looks ok. However, when it is viewed in IE it seems to be that the left edge of the div is in the centre of the page.
I haven’t seen a problem like this before and my searches haven’t found a fix. Hopefully someone on here can help.
Thanks.
Massive problem with JShop – not even fixing off a backup! :/
http://www.alite.co.uk/shop/index.php
That is the location of the shop, it’s really strange as supposedly no one has touched it (i used to work for them and have since left but still give support).
The second strange thing is the admin works fine and I can successfully connect to the DB with the credentials in the config file.
The third strange thing is that I’ve re-copied most files, emptied the template cache and done everything else bar reinstalling and still the same issues arise?
Does anyone have any suggestions to help?
How to obtain sample product data feed
Hello,
I am reposting and following the guidelines sent by Dan so hopefully this acceptable…
We are a German software company and we are working on launching a SaaS site search service for online stores. The problem is that, since we haven’t launched yet, we don’t have English language stores among our customers yet, and we don’t have English-language product feed data to display in our online demo.
Can anyone advise me as to where we can find sample product feed data (shopping.com or Google merchant format) so we can build a demo with it like we did on our German shop?
http://test-db.sellbysearch.com/demo_sbs/
Ideally we are looking for shopping.com or Google merchant format feeds but we can probably parse and use anything else.
We prefer large product catalogs with complex product names and category structures that are to search.
Thanks in advance to the community.

Merchant accounts: qualified vs non-qualified rates
Hopefully this topic won’t be too boring for the forum, but I think its worth discussing.
I notice paypal charges a flat percentage of 2.4%-3.1% depending on volume (+ the per transaction fee), whereas most merchant account providers charge in the range of 2.2% + 1%-1.5% for non-qualified cards. Non qualified card rates apply to corporate, international, and rewards cards, along with cards that don’t have full AVS info.
If most cards are charged at the non-qualified rate (all cards I own fit that category) this actually makes paypal cheaper than a regular merchant account. I think all recurring billings will automatically get the non-qualified surcharge since the CVV security code can’t be stored on file.
Are you guys finding that most of your e-commerce transactions are charged at the non-qualified rate? If so, maybe paypal is the better option!
Help to id this ecommerce script

I would be greatfull if you could help me id this

Magento Enterprise
Dear All,
I’m setting up an E-Commerce website for our 30 years old retail company located in Dubai/UAE, The website will host 3000+ products.
After searching for almost one month the best solution I found that will meet most of our system requirements is Magento Enterprise. The problem is that the cost associated with getting that software is very high and I didn’t understand what we will get for the $11,000+ that we have to pay (Is it only the license or they will provide a full package from Design to Developing?).
My questions are:
1-Is it possible to hire a developer to program a Magento-like E-Commerce site with the same functionality available in Enterprise? or we better play it safe and pay the 11K annual fee?
2-If that is possible what should we take under consideration when doing that?
3-What would be the cost of programing an enterprise like website from scratch.
4-Is there any other E-Commerce software that we are not aware of that will compete with Magento (Quality/Specifications)?
I appreciate any reply I will get for this questions.
