Styling the footer - 6/29/2005 8:09:41   
Hi,

How can I make the right hand image be parrellel to the left one with the text left aligned between the 2 images in the footer?

Please scan my css style sheet to see if anything is wrong (it validates)

I am just beginning to layout my web sites using css exclusively.



Thank you
Tailslide

Do you want the images to be within the black border of the footer or outside?

If you want them within the black footer border then I'd remove the Footerleft and footer-right div names and do this:
Add this to the CSS:
#footer img {float:left; padding-right:5px;}
.floatright{float:right; padding-left:5px;}


Change your HTML to this:
<div id="footer">
<img src="lennphotot.jpg" /><span class="floatright"><img src="FairHousing.gif" /></span>

</div>


BTW - It'll make life a lot easier for you if you stick all that CSS into a separate CSS file - that way it will apply globally throughout your site and you only have to edit it once!

Edit: forgot to say - you'll need to give your footer a specific height say height:100px because otherwise the border won't encompass the images in Standards compliant browsers. Also possibly worthwhile giving your footer a margin-bottom: 10px just to take it off the bottom of the page a bit - just a thought that last bit!

Thanks for the tips - how can I center the footer on the page and left align the text without it hitting the image

I left the css visible so it is easier to troubleshoot...but will place in an external style sheet later.

Hi

It's a case of playing with the margins - so you'd need to do this:

#footer{
height:100px;
width: 567px;
background-color: #E6E6DC;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding:5px;
text-align:center;	
margin:0 auto 5px auto;    
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
