Hi,

Could you please help me?

I have a problem with my page and I really can't find where is the error.

I have a iframe in the middle of the page, everything is fine but at the
moment I minimize everything in the frame is messed up. I don't know if I
have to work with the frame or the problem is the docs. I show in the frame.

In those docs. there are some tables and with them it seems that the frame
respect them and they are not messy, but with divs is diferent. the docs.
shrink when the frame does it and then comes the problem.

I am not professional, sorry if my question is not properly explained.

the problem is: sidebar link Temas/verbos/presente simple (divs) problems

Doc with table. Miscellaneous/Números (table), it has no problem.

Thanks very much in advance.

Irma.

Not everything might be fine when you have an iframe. Why do you want
it in the first place?
Maybe you're trying to fix the symptoms of a problem you wouldn't have
if you fixed the source.

Hi Philipp,

Yes, the iframe came to solve the problem of the navigation bar. I think I
have more control with links to the different topics if I just control one
page, the index with the iframe.

I don't know another way to have the navigation as an include in HTML just
with php.

Excuse me just a question what do you mean with "fix the source"?

Thanks.

Irma.

Frames are a highly suboptimal solution to that problem, introducing more
problems then they solve.

This HTML is wrong:
<div class="centerleft" style=" width: 80%; margin-left: 8em;
margin-bottom:1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR:#eef6ee">
<div class="centerright" style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 0em; PADDING-RIGHT: 0em;
WIDTH: 70%; BACKGROUND-COLOR:#dbe9db">
<div class="centerright2" style="WIDTH: 50%">
<p align="center"><em>3ra. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>vivir</b>
</p>
</div>
<p align="center"><em>2da. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>comer</b></p>
</div>
<p align="center"><em>1ra. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>trabajar</b></p>
</div>

----------------
This is corrected, but still needs tweaking:

<div class="centerleft" style="float: left; width: 15%; margin-left: 8em;
margin-bottom:1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR:#eef6ee">
<p align="center"><em>1ra. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>trabajar</b></p> </div>

<div class="centerright" style="float: left; margin-left: 0%;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 0em; PADDING-RIGHT: 0em; WIDTH: 15%;
BACKGROUND-COLOR:#dbe9db">
<p align="center"><em>2da. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>comer</b></p></div>
<div class="centerright2" style="WIDTH: 15% margin-left: 00%;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 0em; PADDING-RIGHT: 0em; WIDTH: 30%;
BACKGROUND-COLOR:#dbe9db">
<p align="center"><em>3ra. conjugación</em></p>
<p align="center"><b>vivir</b>
</p>

</div>

Why don't you just use a table? This is typical tabular stuff, so I would
use a table instead of divs.

Irma,

Your divs were messed up because your text was OUTSIDE the div tags.
I looked at the Numeros page and it works because it's a table.

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for your remark in my divs. I think I got them right now.

Your are totally right, this is a tabular stuff. The thing is that I
thought divs worked for everything, but now I think that for certain things
tables are very useful as well.

Thanks again for your post and have a nice day.

Irma.
