I recently made a layout for my journal,
tempestinatcup, and I didn't know anything about CSS, so I spent hours learning it and working on the coding. Mostly, I've gotten it the way I want it, but a few problems still remain, which my newbie skills can't fix.
1. SOLVED-I needed to use width: auto.
The header is a tiny bit longer than the entries, and hangs over on the right.
2. SOLVED-by me.
The footer has a weird bullet point, which I can't figure out how to remove. Also, the footer isn't its own box (it doesn't have a background or border) and I'm not sure why.
EDIT:I used
this CSS validator. It didn't tell me that there was anything wrong with my CSS, but I copied the valid CSS it gave me and the footer works fine now. (Plus, all of my CSS is nice and tidy now.)
3. SOLVED-I had a typo. :)
On my friends and comment pages, the border around the userpic box is yellow, and I can't figure out why. I want it to be black, like it is on my recent entries page.
4. SOLVED-by me.
I can't find a way for the comment bar at the bottom of each entry to be the same length as the main entry (like the date/subject bar is). I think this is an issue with the entry's padding, and I've tried different positions and negative margins, but I just can't seem to fix it.
EDIT: I used left: -12px and changed the width to 101.4%, and this works perfectly in Google Chrome but is one pixel too wide in IE! Is there a better way to fix this?
EDIT (again): I made the width 101.33%, and it works in both browsers now. I don't know about Firefox, though.
I have a free account, I have the layout's stylesheet disabled, and all of my CSS is in the custom stylesheet box on the journal customization page.
( I'm not sure how much of the code to include, so the whole thing is under the cut. )Thanks in advance!
