I have produced a holding page for a company whist I await copy/images etc:
http://www.virosafeuk.com
I'm working on making it dda standard :
http://www.perspektiv.co.uk/viro…
Is it possible
using divs/css to achieve the button effect on the holding page where it disappears off to the left of the page?Any pointers or discussion rooms or good sites where I can fathom it out?
Cheers.

Yeah, the leftnav buttons on the live site: http://www.virosafeuk.com start from the left of the browser. But I can't get the same layout using css/divs in a three column design.
Any thoughts?
Sorry I can't explain any better.

Thanks, but I'll be happier once I've made it DDA compliant.

any suggestions? Also, 100% height tricks anywhere? As you will see on the test site it isn't working.
- legspin0

Can you not make those button extensions a background image?

If I put it in the background.gif of the bogy it will appear on the right handside also. Any thoughts?
- Dancer0
only make the tabs..... say....600px wide (with no repaat) and put a bg colour of white on the middle div. Hopefully no one will have a browser window that wide. If they do put a bg colour on you right div as well
- Dancer0
ok, so there is no right div. just make it 600px wide and your golden

100% height can be a nightmare in CSS especially trying to make things fill with images- I know I've tired to achieve it many times. The best way I've found so far, using a 3 column layout anyway, is to hack up an exisiting working example. The best of which I found here:

Hope this helps.

Hey Dancer:
http://www.perspektiv.co.uk/viro…I did what you suggested but the background needs to show across to the right also, but without the button effect.

(Aug 11 05, 07:09)I don't understand? In your initial site you showed (current version) it does show the bands on the right, so why do you need them there?

sorry if I'm not making sense but this css stuff is doing my head in and I'm not quite sure what is/isn't possible using this method of building.
This is how the background appears when I made it 600px width with no repeat which gives the button effect I required.
