    making the #rt-main .rtcontainer position absolute

    Posted 12 years 8 months ago
    • Hi.
      I am making a template for a World of warcraft guild and was wondering how I can make the position of the #rt-main .rt-container appear in a fixed position.

      As you can see from the site http://www.symbiotic-ubiquity.co.uk , the backgrounds demand that the main body is in a fixed position. Once the timer module has completed its task and is removed, the main body content and sidebars will move up about 100px throwing everything out of whack.

      Is it possible to make the position of the main container fixed?
      I would need it to stay 413px from the top of the screen, no matter what modules were positioned above it (or 100px below the menu container)...


      Thanks.

    • Hi there,

      As it is the utility position that is the real problem - e.g. closes when countdown reached - why not ensure a single forced position in utility and edit the css to give a min-height setting.
      #rt-utility .rt-container {
      min-height:45px;
}

      Hope this helps 8)

    • I had already tried that, but wasnt too impressed with it as I wanted to use various other module positions such as #showcase, so I worked it out a different way. I pulled apart the artwork used for the background image and got 3 separate images - THAT took a lot longer than coding stuff, but I wanted variability for the site...

      I now have the body background, a background for #rt-menu, and a background for #rt-main.
      This has the added bonus of letting me swap out background images whilst keeping the menu and the main backgrounds constant.

      Now for my next issue, but thats one for another thread...
