Why this problem with the width of the content does not not on smaller screens?

When I test this page on 800 x 600 screens, the text of the article is cut on the right side. I thought that including min-width and max-width (w/IE6 hack) on the div that contains the text of the article would solve my problem, but it does not work. He doesn't even answer if I decrease my browser window on my screen of 1024 x 768. I was reading on, and try to use, "elastic design" but I obviously missed one of the steps. Can someone look at this with a look?

The same thing happens if I use the zoom feature on my browser, but I don't know if I can handle this via CSS?

http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/BJ-Cole.htm

Elastic layouts use Ems.

http://jontangerine.com/log/2007/09/the-incredible-em-and-elastic-layouts-with-CSS

It is very different from (%) of fluid or semi-fluid (% + pixels) layouts.

See the following example of a liquid header & footer with a fixed width content area.

http://ALT-Web.com/templates/I-page-with-floats.shtml

To prevent the header & footer to collapse too on the small windows, I added a min-width of 900px (semi-fluid).

View source to see the code.  Of course on web devices with small windows, they see a horizontal scroll bar.  Which is expected.

  • Problems with the keyboard does not

    I am on windows 7 and for a week, my keyboard does not work. some of the keys do not work. p, return, tab key, and a few others do not work. My on-screen keyboard works fine - except for the question mark-. I tried the drivers, and the computer says that it has the best drivers so no need to update. I don't know where it came from, but then, after an update of windows, my keyboard is back to normal. It worked fine for three days and then, once again, he screw up. It's always the same keys that don't work, so I don't think that my keyboard is worn. my computer is only a year. It's a computer laptop sony vaio. whenever I press the p key, for example, the Start button - a physics - flashes. same thing for the other buttons. When I press the return key, the Start button flashes.

    in the bios, the keys do not work either.

    can anyone help

    Get a cheap USB keyboard and see if it works.  You can buy those cheap for $10 or less.  The fact that the keyboard does not work in the BIOS means is not a Windows problem.

    Good luck.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

    I tried to block my external hard drive with bitlocker, but unfortunetly got encryption interrupted before finishing because I accidentally unplugged the hard drive, I use windows 7... And now when I enter the password the bitlocker stops responding until I unplug the external drive, I tried to decipher the drive using bitlocker repair tool in cmd, but she also is stuck at 29% every time if I managed to get some data back but not my whole data.

    , I just want to know that is there any way to recover my entire data or unlock the drive?... .Please help!
    Thank you

    I'm sorry to say, but you have made two big mistakes:

    (a) you forgot to backup your data regularly, e.g. once per week.
    (b) you have not backed up your data before making a major change, such as when your data encryption.
    There is a small chance that you can repair the damage with the found here BitLocker Repair tool:

    If this isn't the case, then you will have to deal with this disaster as a harsh reminder that regularly back up the files is not an option but a 'must '.

  • Problem with the modem does not

    I come from Netflix through Wii I can get on it and upload a movie, then when I go back and try to get another or do something else, he says I am offline. The modem no longer works. I can't use WiFi on Iphone either. I can close my modem for a bit then he put on my internet Iphone works and will Netflix. I get Netflix early looking around, then he'll do it again.

    Thanks for any help.

    Let's see... your post included Netflix, Wii (by Nintendo), iPhone (by Apple), an unidentified modem (which may or may not include your wireless router) and does not mention your ISP.  Why do you ask your question in a forum of Windows XP?

    Just guessing, but I would say you should replace your wireless router or talk to your service provider.

  • I have a problem with the Aero does not.

    Original title: Aero do not work

    Aero will not work on my pc cause my graphics card is an Ati Radeon 9200 series and doesn't support Aero cause the producer do not release the update. I'm looking for a solution to make aero work? Thank you.

    Hello Nello,

    The support of the ATI Radeon 9200 series to only Windows XP drivers. These drivers do not support WDDM 1.1, and therefore will not support the Aero features. I've looked everywhere and there seems to be no work around that. In this case, I would say that you can buy a new graphics card or contact AMD support for assistance:

  • I have a problem with the content of spam. Somewhere in the Fox appeared script that's choking me audio spam. Every 30 minutes he's playing an audio clip that is malicious.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with the content of spam. Somewhere in the Fox appeared script that's choking me audio spam. Every 30 minutes he's playing an audio clip that is malicious. I can't find the settings as it eliminated. Now, I don't have any plug-ins and Add-ons strange that were not initially in the Fox, but the problem is there.
    I use the Fox years. The problem, he had 1.5 months after Fox cleaning. If the problem can't win, I'll be forced to give up the browser, and I wouldn't.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    If the problem persists in Mode without failure, could reinstall you Firefox in this way:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.5 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Any improvement?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.
