Help – I need a CSS God!

 

www.BuyLendSell.com is running DNN4.5 and the page skin is BLS3col.ASPX using BLS3col.CSS (both attached).

 

Problems:

 

  1. Want control of outermost border (is it #wrap?) similar to this site:
    http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1149282603171
     as I want the look of a fixed width image of a “page” beneath the content that collapses
  2. DIV’s CLEARS FLOATS and the way they wrap and drop in the browsers – I really don’t understand how this structure works (sidebar,content,sidebar2). What defines this behaviour? See Attached Image Overlap.png
  3. CSS - Is this the load squence for inheritance? default.css, skin.css, MySkin.css, container.css MyContainer.css, portal.css
  4. CSS – load size optimization - I just wanted it all in one file so cleared default, skin, container, portal.
  5. CSS - Browser Issues, work arounds

Hey Gp, not sure really what you need? Your example site uses a huge image background. That is not a good practice if you want your pages to load fast. Use a slice of image and repeat it or use color background if you want it optimized. What hosting do you use? If you server is slow or using shared hosting with 1000's of sites it will be always slow. There is nothing to optimize in CSS just make sure you have valid CSS, you can check that with CSS Validator from www.w3.org . For optimizing further you can use javascript to preload all images, use caching where possible. All .NET sites will unload if your site does not get in hits for ceratin amount of time usually 20 min. If site is unloaded the next visitor will get delays for your site to load. I am assuming by sidebar, content you mean the panes for your webparts. Those are defined in your skins which consists a ascx or html which defines the layout and a XML file. You can look at DNN Docs for Skinning it have all the info's you need. CSS browser hack depends on the issues you are having.
