CSS Question - 'Looping' Layers

[xmukoux]

I am using 'DreamweaverMX 2004' but this question applies to all web-building programs, and even coding from scratch.

What is the code used so that a layer will 'loop' itself however much is needed, should text over-run the initial given space. I have tried the 'overflow' effects on DW but that just gave scrollbars (which I do NOT want any more than one of).

Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope I have explained this correctly, and appologize if I am sounding like a 'nOOb'.

I'm not sure what you mean do you have an example?

[xmukoux]

OK. Here is an EXAMPLE of what I want. As the image shows, the layer table height increases.


Sorry about the link. I can assure you that is not my page though, and I linked to it fr explanation purposes only.

I don't see what you mean by a "loop".

[xmukoux]

'wrap' whatever you call it. f I dont get a response with the CSS code within 24 more hours, I will just make my webpage 'static'. If this is the case, could a mod please lock this after 24 hours. Thanks.

Well, I'm sure that we can greatly assist you if you can articulate in a way that we can comprehend.

[xmukoux]

Um, OK, I can't explain it very well, and I have developed my site to much too mess around with now.

Thanks for the responses though.

Any mod/Gmod, could you please lock this now, thanks.

I think what you mean is that when the text gets bigger/more text is added, the space automatically gets larger?

[xmukoux]

Yes! Bingo! Is this hard to do? Or is it best just keeping to static size?

First of all, a 'static' page is something completely different. Secondly, do you mean you want the page to expand in height or width?

[xmukoux]

I wish it to expand in height.

And I know a static page is somthing different. I was saying I was going to use that as an alternative ^_~

Just put the image you want to get taller as the background of a div:


<style type="text/css">
<!--
.content
{
width: 350px;
background-image: url(contentbackground.jpg);
}
-->
</style>

<div class="content">Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text</div>


I think that's what you're asking for...

[xmukoux]

Dude, you are the coolest! Seriously! Since there are different <div>s I put these in EVERY div that needs 'looping'.

Anyway, I will muck about with this code on a test.htm and try it in different ways just in case I muck up.

Thanks again!
