Using Links Within CSS

[Drew Richardson]

On my page, I have a stylesheet that puts a "cell" in the middle of the page
then creates another frame within that cell. I have my external links below
the middle frame, so that only my content scrolls. My question is, can I
put a link outside of the content div class that will load into the content
frame? My stylesheet code is below if it helps...

div.textbox
{
background-color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
color: #808080;
height: 330px;
width: 450px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 175px;
}


div.entry
{
overflow: auto;
background-color: #000000;
color: #808080;
text-align: left;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
height: 250px;
width: 425px;
border: 1px solid #000000
}


div.leftbar
{
background-color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;
height: 330px;
width: 125px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 50px;
}

div.rightbar
{
background-color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;
height: 330px;
width: 125px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 625px;
}

To clarify, the div.entry part is nestled within the div.textbox part and my
main content is within the entry, but my external links are all in the
textbox area so that they don't scroll with the rest of the content. Can I
make a link in div.textbox (outside of div.entry) that loads into div.entry
on the same page?

CSS does no such thing. CSS is a way to suggest a presentation for
markup. It is not a replacement for that markup.

If you are using frames for the fixed part, try the css position:
fixed property.

If you want more help, a url is always nice.

It doesn't validate. Perhaps not possible using a free web host. But
you don't even have a doctype. And you have posted in
ciwa-stylesheets, so presumably you use css for presentation, and yet,
you have loads of font tags, tables for layout, etc. What are you
aiming for?
