I could use a tutorial on how to make a journal with a scrollbar, rather than one that gets longer and longer, while keeping everything else how it should be, like replaced journal icon and such...

I find your tutorials very useful and easy to understand.

I have the exact same problem as I'm trying to use position absolute, and it's turning out very weird. The side menu covers up a part of the header, footer, and the journal and I really don't know how to fix it
Any tips?

kuschelirmel-stock In reply to Elitha [2007-10-21 09:51:43 +0000 UTC]

you have to push it downwards with the top?px attribute - then you need to give the journaltext a padding on the left (or right - wherever you positioned your div) that will push the text from the journal out from under the div.
as for the length: if the stuff inside the absolute div gets too long it will always flow over the footer - you need to either make whatever is inside shorter or the journal itself longer so it will stretch more. A trick to get "at least a ??px long journal" so the navi will fit can be achieved in firefox only: give the .journaltext the attribute min-height?px;
I hope this helps

Thanks so much! I actually figured it out already -- I just gave the text a bigger padding on the right and it worked like a charm!
Many thanks for your beyond awesome tutorials (I'd still have no idea what a div is if it wasn't for you!)

Why not make a tut explaining how to center something using absolute positioning?

i.e.

left: 50%;
margin-left: -[half of width of object]px;
