CSS - Adjusting Sidebar Width In Css
Hi all, noob here. I am trying something pretty simple but just cant get it to work. For my site, I have a main content area and two right sidebars. I am trying to decrease the width of the the content area and widen the sidebars to fill the extra space created, say 50px. I have come unstuck trying to get it done though.
Below is the relevant part of the css: Code: /* CONTENT layout */
#content {
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
.sidebar-double #content, .sidebar-left #content {
margin-left: -221px;
}
.sidebar-double #content, .sidebar-right #content {
margin-right: -271px;
}
.sidebar-right-double #content {
margin-right: -448px;
}
/* Add blanks left and right for the sidebars to fill */
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-left #squeeze {
margin-left: 221px;
}
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-right #squeeze {
margin-right: 271px;
}
.sidebar-right-double #squeeze {
margin-right: 448px;
}
/* Add whitespace to content area */
#squeeze {
padding: 1em 0 1.5em;
overflow: hidden;
}
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-left #squeeze {
padding-left: 2em;
}
.rightbar #squeeze {
padding-right: 2em;
}
/* SIDEBAR layout */
#sidebar-wrapper .sidebar {
float: left;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
#sidebar-left {
width: 221px;
}
#sidebar-right-sec {
width: 200px;
padding: 1.2em 0;
}
#sidebar-right {
width: 248px;
padding: 1.2em 0;
}
.rightbar .top-corners {
right: -8px;
top: -3px;
padding-right: 8px;
position: relative;
min-height: 12px;
}
.rightbar .bottom-corners {
right: 0;
bottom: -4px;
position: relative;
min-height: 7px;
}
I have tried changing the content or 'squeeze' margins as its called and then just widening the sidebars but it just doesnt work. If anyone can help it would be great, thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... Hi and thank you in advance for any advice or help. my website: http://earlystartdc.com/ Im having trouble trying to find the right css code so that i can adjust the banner underneath the menu in order to remove the white spaces in the module. I would like for the banner to be at margin 0 so that its all the way to the top without any white space in between. any help?? Thank you P.s - This is what my css files look like from my template/css folder . Hello, I am having a problem with the aligning of m website. Whenever I view my website in a normal size window everything looks fine and in it's place. However when I full screen my browser window everything stays to the left, and my background repeats, nothing moves with the browser window. My question is how do I have everything on my webpage automatically adjust to the browser window? Thanks! Is it possible to setup a frame to adjust? I ran into a problem with my menu being on the left side of the screen in its own frame, when it expands it needs about twice as much space otherwise another frame on the right of this frame cuts off the text and buttons from the menu, (this frame is used to display documents inside of it.) Originally I did not think it would be a problem but I just realized that some of the documents need a lot of room horizontally do to images and descriptive frames being inside of the docs, thus causing the reader to have to keep scrolling from side to side in order to read the paragraphs. Is there some way to get the frame with the menu to adjust according to the size of the menu as the user mouses through it, or a way to make the menu float over the doc viewing frame as the user mouses through it and just make the menu frame big enough to fit the menu when it is not being used, or another alternative all together? Thanks for reading. hi all ! I have some dynamic data that gets inside a cell in a table, the problem is that Im having problems to adjust the cell so the data can be seen more user friendly. The max width for the table is 1024 px. This is how it looks: Is there a way to make it look better using dynamic css,script,etc? Thanks a lot ! Hey guys, I started working on my website again and found a great CSS dropdown menu online that is free to use with a GPL license. I adjusted it without a problem (always could read and adjust code but aren't great when it comes to writing it). Now that I embedded it in my website there is a slight trouble I am running into. I can't seem to center it no matter what I try. I read these floats are tricky to center at times which is why I wanted to share my code with you and see if you might be able to fix it for me. If anyone of you can help me out it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks, alex Here is the site with the code.

This is my first OSCommerce site... Where do I adjust the color and size of the title font....the BIG one at the top of each page....is it an h1 tag? I can't seem to find it in the style sheet?? I have nested my content divs within a centered wrapper div. the wrapper div is controlled by an external css file. when content is added to the nested divs they grow outside of the wrapper div. is there a way to force the wrapper to grow with the content like tables do? The CSS: #wrapper { margin-top: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; position: relative; width: 760px; background-color: #FFFFCC; left: auto; right: auto; height: 400px; z-index: 1; } The HTML: (attached) i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy I'm trying to have a sidebar to the right of my page content that extends the entire height of the container it is in. Code: .sidebar {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
width: 150px;
height: 100%;
color: #999999;
background: #ffffff;
float: right;
border-top: none;
border-left: 1px solid #cccccc;
border-bottom: none;
border-right: none;
}
This is the code I am currently using, but it is only as tall as the contents of the div. I need the border on the left to extend the length of the container it is in. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott I have three questions. 1. I saw some site which cut if there is a wide picture on side bars, like it just show the part which is on the sidebar box if its wider it cuts the extra part like this site if you see the first picture on the side bar its bigger but it cuts the extra part (-http://dot21.blogspot.com/-) , i want to know how to do it. 2. When some people add backgrounds they write background-repeat:no-repeat whats the function of that code??? and what can i write instead of no-repeat?? 3. whats the function of this code (background-position:bottom left) ??? If you couldnt answer some i hope you answer the ones you know. I am working on a site in CSS (first time! Yay!) I am having one problem: there is a sidebar, and I have used spacer images to make the coloring go to the very bottom of the page (the links stop above that). HOWEVER: this is for my screen size, and I am worried that when people view it with a different screen/window size, they will have scroll bars, even though there is no content at the bottom. Is there any attribute that will make it just go right to the bottom? Thanx. I have a header div with a background image - it's basically a pair of hands holding a banner - the arms extending to the sides of the window. I'm trying to work it so that, no matter how wide or thin the window, the arms will always extend to the sides. So when you make it smaller, the image will disappear beyond the viewing window. This happens automatically on the right-hand side, but the image is stopping it on the left. Is there a way to set a min-width, which is smaller then the image itself, so that when the window is shrunk the image starts to disappear on either side until it reaches the min-width? I'm trying to get it so the arms will disappear and stop at the hands. Or can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I tried to do it with background and header image, with the arms on the background, so when the top image moves it looks like the arms move with it. That worked great until I started using a patterned background. Full width: |---------------------------------------| |AAAAAAAAHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHAAAAAAAAA| |---------------------------------------| Shrunk width: ------- |------------------------| -------- AAAAAAA |AHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHA| AAAAAAAA ------- |------------------------| -------- Grey bit outside window edge. | Window side A Arms H Hands B Banner I hope that makes sense. I expect there's an easy solution but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and could do with someone else's perspective. Thanks. I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6. Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here's the main site: http: // anomalyrecords . net / index . html Here's the sto http: // anomalyrecords . net / catalog I am using a Zencart embedded template to wrap the main site design around Zencart.. This is working perfectly with a small remaining issue.. I am trying to synchronize the content placement of the sidebar items between Zen Cart and the rest of the site pages.. There is an ever so slight "shift" of the sidebar elements when you toggle bewteen the site pages and the store.. I've done a lot of tweaking and I'm fairly close, but I am at a COMPLETE loss how to put this to bed once and for all. I am hoping one of the CSS gurus here will see what I am clearly missing and guide me back to the light.. |
