CSS - Preventing Page From Stretching
hello all,
On my website i allow my users to use a an editor such as tinyMCE to do a write up and I store the html in my database to display later. the issue i have is how can i make sure that in the DIV where i'm displaying these writeups from the user doesn't stretch out. for example if a user puts in the code "<font size=999>TEST</font>" in their article that they are posting to my site, i don't my whole site to go out of wack due to the large font size. i want it to stay the same and just wrap the text to the next line. Thanks Similar TutorialsHello all. I am working on a sign on page that uses two divs nested in a table. I have a header above them, and a footer below, and I want the divs (which have a nice gradient background) to stretch all the way down to the footer, regardless of the amount of content. In a simplified format, I have: Code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height:100%; padding-top:20px; padding-bottom:20px; width:976px;" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="wrapper1" id="wrapper1" valign="top">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="100%" style="border:3px dotted black; height:100%;">
<table style="width:100%; height:100%;" border="1">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="height:100%;">
<xsl:call-template name="bodyContainerTemplate"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The tables stretch just fine. Where I am running into problems is in my bodyContainerTemplate. That template looks like: Code:
<!--bodyContainerTemplate-->
<div class="bgcolor1" style="width:976px; height:100%; border:2px solid;">
<div class="login_bg" style="height:100%;" id="login_bg">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" style="position:relative;">
<tr>
<td>
My content goes here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
For some reason, once it gets into the template, height:100%; doesn't work anymore, and the divs simply stretch big enough to make room for the content. What styles am I missing for those divs to be 100%? I have messed with: min-height height:auto, relative, etc. margin:0 and a few other things, none of which are seeming to make a difference. Thanks! It's a classic problem, but I was just wondering if anyone could give me some help on it. Heres the link to the webpage (note, none of the links or owt work, it's just filler for the mo): Code: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jdg8/WebSiteHelp/ I want to the make the sidebars on each side stretch to the bottom of the page (Down to the footer) but it won't seem to go. I've tried following googles advice and it's not working either. Here's the code: Code: body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background:#FFF;
height: 100%;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #FFF;
}
a:link{color:#00B800;}
a:visited{color:#39F}
a:hover{color:white; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold;}
#container {

background: #666666; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 3px solid #000000;

/* Tips for sidebars:
1. Since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use side padding on the sidebars. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the "#sidebar1 p" rule.
3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you may choose to change to pixel sized columns.

/* Tips for mainContent:
1. the space between the mainContent and sidebars is created with the left and right margins on the mainContent div.
2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600 resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 300px or smaller (this includes images).
3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs.
*/
#mainContent {
/* the right and left margins on this div element creates the two outer columns on the sides of the page. No matter how much content the sidebar divs contain, the column space will remain. You can remove this margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the sidebar spaces when the content in each sidebar ends. */

It should be noted that I'm not totally sure about CSS and most of it is either stolen from dreamweaver or rehashed together from old websites I made. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Perhaps this should go into a Javascript or PHP but I wasn't quite sure. I want to declare a navigation bar's text to a fixed height of 12px which I think is rather easy for MOST anyone to read. What I'm having to do is because the site owner wants a "tabbed" appearance, I'm using images for the sides and will make the background of the text various colors (depending on if their active or not). If a visitor to the site, however, has their text style zoomed, that will considerably disrupt the apparent "image" of the tabs and make it look screwey. Text must be used for SEO so making the tabs a full image is not an option. Any advice? Sorry if this should have gone to a different forum. Thanks. Tim http://www.jobsinkent.com/v5b/index.php The main form (select industry/location) form is in a "div id=select" which is set in the css to "float: left". This "float: left" is preventing users in Mozilla from selecting items in the right hand column and the drop-down list refuses to drop-down! When removed it works with no problems. Everything is fine in MSIE. Is this a XHTML/CSS problem or a Mozilla bug? Ideas? There is a big amount of space that shows up in firefox and not IE on a page I am trying to develop. temporary site <--- fixed. in a state of constant change. The css is layout.css . I have had two people try to design a template in photoshop for me but they are dragging their butts. I decided to just start without them with a simple template. I know there are problems. I probably coded things wrong and not efficient and the image is also too big. It also doesn't validate if anyone checks that(it is because of my transparencies). I really would like to know what is causing the extra space in firefox. If you have comments on other stuff feel free to comment because this is my first attempt at a css template. Also if anyone has an idea for a design feel free to draw something up. I know I've seen lots of questions on div sizing and positioning, but I apparently haven't been able to follow them. So I wrote out some very basic containers, and am looking for some very basic answers, even if they're only "no, it won't work." So let's say I have a layout like this: PHP Code: <div style="height: 100%; width: 100%; border: 2px red dashed; text-align: center;"> <!-- outside div --> <div style="height: 200px; width: 300px; border: 2px blue solid; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "> <!-- centered div --> <div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; border: 2px green dashed; text-align: left; float: left;"> <!-- floated div 1 --> hello world 1 <!-- /floated div 1 --> </div> <div style="height: 100px; width: auto; border: 2px orange dashed; text-align: left; float: left;"> <!-- floated div 2 --> hello world 2 <!-- /floated div 2 --> </div> <div style="font-size: 0px; height: 0px; width: 0px; clear: both;"> <!-- clear div / --> </div> <!-- /centered div --> </div> <!-- /outside div --> </div> What I want to happen is for the orange div (floated div 2) to fill the rest of the width of the surrounding blue div (centered div). I know with this simple example I can simply set the pixel width, but I want to eventually make it more dynamic, allowing for variable sizes, like if I set the blue div to be a percentage instead of a fixed width. Any ideas? (Even links to appropriate threads are appreciated!) Thanks! (edit: had to update "centered div" to be firefox compatible) I have two divs floated inside another div, but the outside div isn't stretching to accommodate the inner divs. Why not? The TMPL tags are used by the HTML::Template perl module. html Code: Original - html Code <div class='photo-navigate'> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=PREVIOUS_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=NEXT_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> </div> <div class='photo-navigate'> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=PREVIOUS_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=NEXT_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> </div> css Code: Original - css Code div.photo-navigate { border: 1px solid black; background-color: #eeeeee; }
div.photo-navigate {
I read a thread on div streching but I didn't totally understand what was going on in that particular case so I thought I create a new thread and throw my code up as well. I'm trying to have a minimum height with a footer anchored at the bottom of the div (contained within it for the bg image to carry through behind the footer). But I can't seem to get all the pieces to work together. The problem I'm dealing with now is that the div won't stretch and the footer will be pushed down way too far. Here is what's happening. So how do I get the div to keep a minimum height of 706px or like 80% and then how do I get it to auotmatically stretch with the content and keep the footer anchored at the bottom of the stretched div? Here's the code: Code:

Hello, I have a div element within a series of nested tables. the width of the cell that the div element is in is set to "45%". My div element has a CSS style of "overflow:auto;" meaning I want scrollbars to appear if the contents of the div are larger than the alotted space. For some reason, the scrollbars appear, however, My div element stretches and pushes other elements off of the screen. Is anyone aware of any bugs or something that could cause this? The thing that is really strange is that I only have this problem when the table within the DIV contains elements that have the nowrap attribute set to true. Thanks, Crystal http://www.gamecitadel.com/reviews/31 In firefox: All content in the middle between the header and footer is in a div called mainContent Code:
#mainContent {
background-color: #323333;
background-image: url(images/index/contentBG.gif);
width: 779px;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 7px;
}
when the height is set, as is above, the mainContent div will only go to that height, and the content within it will continue down past(outside) of the div. if the height is removed, the mainContent div doesnt show at all. shouldnt the content inside the mainContent div determine its height? What have I forgotten to add? In IE: Works perfect Hopefully this is an easy question, how is this done to fill a frame, without repeating, just to stretch it out and fill up a frame? I know this has been done to death but all the fixes I looked at on here didn't seem to help me... Essentially I'm trying to create a three-column layout plus a header and footer for an email. The left and right columns essentially act as thick borders and the middle column is for content. As such I want the left/right columns to stretch to the height of the middle column. Someone suggested that I wrap them in a div with the height set to 100% so that they expand to fill that space, but it hasn't worked. As such the content breaks the layout and the borders don't continue down with the rest of the content. Here's the code (minus header + footer divs): Code: <div name="column" id="column" style="width:600px; height:100%;"> <div style="padding:0px; margin:0px;"> <div name="leftbar" id="leftbar" style="float:left; width:20px; height:100%; background-color:#69696b; border-left:1px solid #252429; border-right:1px solid #bcbcbe;"></div> <div name="contentbox" id="contentbox" style="text-align:left; width:553px; float:left;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ideally I'd have turned those borders into background-images and set them to repeat-y but HTML emails don't like background images. Any ideas? Ok so www.gameyin.com/index.php You will see a dotted border flowing up the left nav bar, and below advertisements (Yes I know I'm using tables. I will eventually move them onto a roll over menu.) I have it set up so it should only be dotted border for the ads. But it is going around everything. Weird. Here is.. CSS for it. Code: .advertisement {
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
border: 1px dotted;
width: 100%;
}
.advertisement p {
font-weight: bold;

You will see more if you go to site and see what I mean. Dunno if I got all the HTMl for it and CSS. I wrote it a while ago with the problem. Just never got around to trying and fix it . Hey I'm new at this forum, and also new with tableless layouts. I wanted 2 small divs at the left and right side of the main content div. Everything went ok, till I putted some content in. None of the divs expanded in Firefox and in IE just the maindiv streched. Layout: www.dennisenderink.nl/test2 Stylesheet: www.dennisenderink.nl/test2/stylesheet.css Can you help me out please? Ok, iv had this problem alot when making sites, however this time it seems to be more complicated. http://area51.chicagowars.com/templates/modern_rouge/index.php is a site im working on. However the background in <div class="outer"> wont stretch. Iv used clearfix CSS such as Code: div.inner:after {
clear: both;
display: block;
content: ".";
height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
/* hide from IE-mac \*/
* html .inner {
height: 1%;
}
div.inner {
display: block;
}
/* end hide */
and the simpler Code: div.clearfix
{
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
<div class="clearfix"> </div>
You'll be able to see these in the script. Iv done this kind of thing before (http://www.rap-wars.com) where i had tyhe same problem, but this time its not workin, i think its the breadcrumbs thats complicating things! Does anyone have the solution? Another question with this menu: Austin360 Does anyone know how they made the widths of the submenu items stretch/adjust wider for more text, while the top level stays the same? I have a couple of dropdown templates, but the submenus are only as wide as the top level list items. (If their text is wider, the top level item is stretched too -- not what I want) Thanks in advance! Hey everyone, my first time exploring page layouts using CSS and I'm having a few problems. I have a simple page with separate Header, Navigation and Content divs stacked on top of each other inside of a wrapper div (used to align the three to the center), with another div for the Footer placed below everything else. Here's how it looks now: Code: <html> <head> <title>CSS Divisions</title> <style type="text/css"> #Wrapper { width:800px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:left; } #Header { width:800px; height:120px; background:#FC6;} #PNav { width:800px; height:40px; float:left; background:#CCC; } #Content { width:800px; height:400px; float:left; overflow:hidden; background:#FFC; } #Footer { width:100%; height:80px; float:left; text-align:center; background-color:#FC6; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="Wrapper"> <div id="Header">Header</div> <div id="PNav">Navigation</div> <div id="Content">Content</div> </div> <div id="Footer">Footer</div> </body> </html>
Ideally what I want is for the page to look exactly how it is, but with the footer stretching from the bottom of the Content div, down to the bottom of the wherever the user's browser has loaded; basically to fill the vertical remainder of the screen. I've tried setting the footer height to 100%, but that forces the page to extend vertically, and I fumbled around with about a dozen other techniques not really knowing what I was doing, and I've had no luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's a question I can't seem to fix. I have nested DIVs and when the nested DIVs receives text/content it will stretch, but the parent DIV of that DIV won't stretch with it. Causing the nested DIV to stretch beyond the border of the parent DIV. I've temporarily(sp) tried to fix the problem by putting tables in it, but any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you. ^_^ When I shrink my browser to the left my div slides to the left out of view. Is there a way to create a cut off point so my div can neatly meet the edge of the browser and stay put when minimizing the browser to the left? I'm using a word wrap function in CSS that looks like this. .wordwrap { word-wrap:break-word; } It's very effective in preventing any tables on the entire site from stretching (comment boxes, news feeds, etc). However, it is SO effective that it will cut a word in half if it hits the edge of the table for example, a sentence like: L1 "The cow and dog jumped over the " L2 "moon and fell off." Might come out as: L1 "The cow and dog jumped over the mo" L2 "on and fell off." Any ideas on how I can use this function without cutting words in half? It does such a great job at preventing tables from stretching. |
