Hello,
I do not want the <div> with pictures to touch the <div> with contents about
Sweden on the right on the page in the signature.
I tried to set some margins on the external cascading style sheet but it did
not work for some reason.
I do not want it to use "clear" either.
Any suggestion?

Correct your errors.

#foto-svezia-meridionale.subsubsection {float:left;
width: 25%;
min-width: 200px;
min.height: 200px;
border: thin silver solid;
margin-top:0,5em;
margin-left:0,5em;
margin-right:2,5em;
margin-bottom:0,5em;

See all those commas instead of decimal points (or whatever you call
them in Sweden)? Change them to periods/dots.

margin-right:2.5em; gives you the margin you desire.

BTW, I wore out my mouse wheel scrolling to find what you where talking
about. Had you said "the margin at 5.B. In Svezia", it would have been
even simpler to find your error.

Oh, and you may as well try to find out what causes the CSS validator to

Try

#posizione-geografica.subsubsubsection
{margin-left:60%;margin-right:.5em}


as a tactical solution. Then apply it to all the divs in that
col.

Seriously Luigi, this is the most complex, most convoluted css to
control a page that I have ever seen. I could not conceive of
ever remotely making anything like it because I would never be
able to maintain it. Its design appears to me to be almost wholly
tactical and not strategic. It is a recipe for a nightmare of
maintenence.

I have seen a few that were worse, but not by much... <lol>

I actually surprised myself by noticing the commas instead of dots.

Liugi's next mission, should he choose to accept it, is to find out what
is causing the horizontal scrollbar to appear, no matter what the
browser width is. (I do not intend to tackle that one.)

I transferred the CSS to BBEdit from FF to use the better Search
functions there, in conjunction with watching the "current
element" names in FF. (Not that I solved his problem in the end,
though I found "a" solution to one of the paras in that col that
might have provided OP with a clue to go on?)

It was very hard to see things in the CSS in FF (FF has this
annoying limit on the width of the "Edit CSS" col... It would be
nice to be able to widen it more. That at least is the situation
on the Mac version.

Are you using Chris Pederick's Web Developer Toolbar? The Edit CSS panel
is stretchable. Drag the border wider, the one next to the displayed
page.

But for Luigi's page, you probably need a wide-screen monitor. <g>

Well, yes... that is the extension I am complaining about in
respect to width. It is draggable but it reaches a miserable max
width on my Mac

Notice the scrollbar in the left pane. That is because some of your
selectors were composed with no line feeds, like:
#informazioni-generali.subsubsection or
#arredamento-articoli-da-regalo.subsubsection
..which is 270 characters wide.

You are saving only a few bytes by not placing each attribute on a
separate line, but you make the whole sheet a troubleshooting nightmare.

Yes, same in any version... most of the time it's not necessary to go
wider that its maximum. Except for Luigi's, of course.

Luigi... no one is ever sure when talking to you that everyone is

Myohmy. Look at your style sheet with word wrap turned OFF in whatever
you use to edit it. Look at the line for:
#arredamento-articoli-da-regalo.subsubsection

Notice your page svezia.html has a horizontal scrollbar. This is caused
by some mistake in your style sheet. Not the fact that it itself has
long lines, but because some margin is set too wide.

At the moment, your server is down.

"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www-scaiecat-spa-gigi.com."

> Or perhaps both?

Well, that as well.

The long lines in your style sheet cause the *CSS* editing window to
have a scrollbar, as your lines are longer than the width the pane can
be widened to. Go ahead, install the Web Developer Toolbar (very worthy)
in Firefox or Mozilla or SeaMonkey and see for yourself.
http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/

While viewing your page, press Ctrl+Shift+E and see for yourself.

See what I mean? Of course you don't! I say it is always hard to
know if the focus of any discussion with you is constant. You
then tell me it is night time where you are, You are an
extraordinary person Luigi. It is a constantly fascinating
experience for a martian like me to come across such an unusual
species of earthling like you.

And again, you exhibit a quixotic and highly interesting display
of your focussing algorithm. I have studied the code of Eliza but
you seem to have a more sophisticated sub routine here that the
traditional Eliza simply did not have. Interesting to the point
of fascination.

I will let B answer about how to cope with returns in your CSS.
But the pic he provided was a view of the Firefox browser with an
web developer extension facility whereby the CSS of any web page
is displayed and can be altered for experimentation with the
webpage changes being seen "live" immediately the changes are
made in the CSS. Sort of magical in the sense that it is closest
to the idea of making a wish and having it fulfilled without
having to do anything else like save the changes and all that
boring old stuff.

In addition to what B says about your method of typing and layout
of the css, I do know one thing for sure. Or perhaps I should
say, my instinct is very strong: You are over-reaching Luigi in
the extraordinary complexity of your CSS.

I am now going to give you a really good argument as to why you
should change it utterly and completely. This argument would
normally appeal to the English one man business that is inside of
your soul, I have no idea if it appeals to the Italian in Sweden
one man business part of you. The argument is this:

Businesses have resale value. Ask yourself this question: who
will buy your business if they see your html and css? They will
never be able to work it all out or maintain it.

Yes, only more carefully formatted.

background-color: #cccccc;
background-image:none; <--- defaults can be eliminated


color:#000000;
display: block;

Notice the braces are on the first and last line (not mixed with the
attributes), and each one is indented the same amount. I prefer three
spaces, or one tab. (You see, I am a retired programmer.)

You also use very long names for your classes and ids. Surely the words
can be condensed.

At least the lines aren't so long. However, it is still a convoluted
mess.

Have you ever even tried to validate it?

It did not play any role whether the lines were long or short...

I got a parse error when I tried to validate it.
But I had to copy and paste the file.
The validator cannot validate https sites for CSS, I think.

All this about formatting has to do with it being easy to read.
Nothing about validation. In science there is a relationship
between the simplicity of a theory and its truth only because
humans will likely make a complete hash of testing and assembling
a truly complicated theory. But there is no obvious reason, there
may be a reason but not an obvious one, why reality is
essentially simple. There is a reason why human theories need to
be. It has to do with the limitations of the human mind. Help
humans along Luigi and cast out the CSS and HTML and make
everything simpler. Be as a child and charm and disarm your
customers. Soothe us. Humour us. We are your friends. Have a
website just that you let us see. Let the non-friends have the
difficult one if a difficult one need be.

They are 2 different things.
What you were talking about had been a top priority if had planned to sell
the website to anybody else.

Spam is a problem nowadays and, in fact, I am wondering, whether I might let
only registered users get in touch by forms and
let all the others get in touch by snail mail.

I got this:

Where is the line 441?

Did you paste the file into this validator?

You have errors. Additionally, all those margins in percentages...
percentage of what? It is so difficult to tell. I always set margins
either as em units or maybe in a rare case, some number of pixels. But
percents? Why?

Can't say exactly; you apparently are changing the file periodically.
However:

OL {
margin-left:8%;
padding-left:5px;
}



} <--- EXTRA BRACE
li.bilder{

See what I mean about having a well-structured file?

Because percentages are no absolute units, so they should fit both to a
large and a small window.

This has been fixed but the scrolling bars are still there although the css
external style sheet validates
(and I have not solved my problems with Chinese, by the way, do you know a

Fancy bothering to post such an unprovoked set of mean words,
unleavened by any humour, interesting information, wild and
possibly mildly diverting or entertaining theorising. You have
hurt my feelings. Not everyone is a cold hearted bastard like
you, you know.

OK, lets see what can be done to improve the situation with you.
First thing is this: you will, and I mean, you will go back and
read every single post of mine. There will be an exam at the end
and there will - believe me - be consequences for you if you
fail.

Validation and the scroll bars to do with the FF extension Edit
CSS side window have nothing much to do with each other.

Sure, it may validate, but the validator doesn't care if you have a
horizontal scrollbar. Your visitors do, however.

As I said, it is going to be some bad combination of your excessive
numbers of margin and/or width settings, where you have exceeded 100%
for the window width. You might have some luck by adding a selector at
the top of your file for:

* { border: 1px solid green; }

..and see what extends beyond the browser viewport. Any place you have
more than - at the most - three thicknesses of the 1px border, well,
you're nesting too deep.

Your answer seems to suggest that you have not visited that page for a long
time.
I do not see any horizontal scrollbar on the page
https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/it/svezia.html
However, there is such a scrollbar on the page
https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/boende-i-italien.php
So, my question is, does it depend on the number of columns in the table?

Your response, seven days later, seems to suggest that you've been
working on the page.

There is in Firefox, but not in Opera.

Of course.

In the boende-i-italien.php page, I see table styles such as "t10" that
are not defined in your style sheet.

You have lines in the source that scroll horizontally for metres and
metres. I'm not going to attempt to troubleshoot that mess.
