CSS - 3 Column Issue
Hello -
I'm new to CSS and am attempting to design a simple 3-colum page with a banner and a footer. Everything is working fine except the rightmost column content does not begin until the line after the bottom of the middle column. Left column is working fine. Everything is very simplistic at this point so I'm not sure what could be the problem. Here is the CSS: #wrapper { width: 960px; background: url(images/right_nav_color.gif) repeat-y right top; } #leftcolumn { float: left; width: 200px; margin-top: 10px; } #rightcolumn { float: right; width: 200px; background-color: #e3e3e3; } #main { margin-left: 220px; margin-right: 220px; margin-top: 10px; } Any help is appreciated. Similar TutorialsHi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts. I hope someone here can advise. This is an abridged version of the site's code for example: Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- #main1 { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #left { width:260px; margin:0; padding:0; float: left; } #left-top { background-image: url(../images/panel-top-left.gif);

Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this.

Thanks a lot! Rob I have a two column page and need to get the green background of the side column to meet the footer. I have looked at some solutions but to no avail. Can anyone look at the page here? I would prefer to have the bottom picture stick to the bottom of the column leaving the logon below the menu so I can add further items in between. I have a two column layout (inside a DIV/container, not full page) that works fine in Firefox but the right column is veering/starting about 50ish pixels left into the left column. Below is the CSS syntax used. Any ideas on a fix or how to properly write a two column layout that works for most/all browsers? TIA Code: #content_left { float:left; width:345px; padding:0px; } #content_right { float:right; width:315px; padding:0px; } I'm having two issues with IE on my site. 1. IE is displaying the body background image (bg.jpg) throughout the entire page. 2. IE is pushing the sidebar way down. Neither of these issues exist in Firefox. I think the second issue may have something to do with the first issue. Here is the relevant code. Code: html,body * { padding:0px; margin:0px; } body { background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-color:#fb7d21; margin:0 auto; height:100%; } div#container { width:792px; margin:0 auto; background-image:url(images/filler.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } div#header { width:792px; height:109px; background-image:url(images/header.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; margin-top:20px; } div#content { float:left; width:570px; padding:0 0 0 10px; margin-top:-40px; } div#sidebar { float:right; width:212px; margin-top:-95px; } div#footer { clear:both; width:792px; height:84px; background-image:url(images/footer.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; } You can see the issues on my site here. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance. Hi Folks, Newbie here, first post. I need to figure out a way for the left border on the right column, its a DIV floated to the right (contains an image of a brain which has a certain irony!) to expand all the way down the page when you set the text to "largest" with your browser. Example: http://www.cre8webdesign.co.uk/services.html Can anyone help? Thanks Darren. Hello, I have created a three column html layout with header and footer using liquid CSS format. The problem is, if either any one of the columns (left , middle or right column) increases in length, the others don't grow accordingly. Please let me know how to do it. I didn't post the actual code as it is long. However I could post it if needed. Thanks Hi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Hey, So I have a three column layout being implemented as such: html: Code: <div class="content"> <div class="col1 column"></div> <div class="col3 column"></div> <div class="col2 column"> <div class="header">Header</div> </div> </div> CSS: Code: .column { padding: 10px; position:relative; } .header { background:#cfe6f5; color:#416383; font-size:11px; font-family:Arial; font-weight:300; padding-left:15px; } .col1 { float: left; width:250px; } .col2 { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .col3 { float:right; width:250px; } The problem is that the width of the header div extends all the way to the left and right of the page when it's in the middle column, but behaves the way I want it to (extends to the left and right of the column) when it's in the left or right column. Any ideas? Thanks. --Surgery Question title: A 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally and let them both scroll vertically Hello I did try several idea's, but all failed. Then I did search the web but found a list of > 400.000 in google. If someone is willing to tell me if it is possible and give me some directions, please do. Everything is welcome. I got a list with 3 columns ( basically you could say I have only two columns because 2-3 could be concatenated to together, but they have a different style and justification, but I could live to start with a two column sample) f.e line 1 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 2 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 99:.... e.t.c Column one has a fixed width of 32px. 'some text' can be longer then the wide available and value_two is with 3 spaces appended to column 2. I want that column one is fixed horizontal and that the second and the third column can scroll horizontally. Of course when there are more line's then the height of the container is should be posable to scroll vertically. Finally I need the color behind column one be different then the column 2 and 3. So what I did create is a container with two containers where the left one has a different colour then the right one and above those a container with the list. I have overflow on auto, so I get scroll-bars when necessarily. But my problem is that when I scroll horizontally that my first column scrolls away to the left. Basically my question is. How can I get a 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally ( first is locked in horizontal place ) and let them scroll both vertically? can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } Hello, I am having difficulty with the center column on the following page: http://cbo4edu.org/index2.html I want to widen the center column so that the CBO NEWS heading touches the blue line which divides the center and right column. When I try to add width to the style sheet the left column moves out of alignment. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Hi, hopefully you enjoyed the title, I had a good laugh thinking of it in that split second it took me to write it. So, I found a 3 column css layout on a CSS generator website, because I got sick of trying to hack up layouts I've made in the past that didn't work. Anyhow, it was working fine with one line of content in each column when I tested it out, however, once content in the middle column was added, and stretched vertically beyond a certain point, it will drag the left columns content down with it. The right column is not affected in any way. I have spent a few hours trying to look for reasons as to why it would happen, but I had no luck. I would appreciate any help... so thank you in advance if you take a stab at it.

I'm working on this page: sugarhooker[dot]com/testing/index2.html *The CSS is included in the head The right column is suppose to start where it says 'Are you hooked...'

I am a HTML&CSS novice - I am trying to write a page using a three column layout but the column colour doesn't reach the footer.

The example I'm going for is used as top navigation he nfl - baltimore ravens home page and he ge home page Here is the code I'm using currently (would like it to be all CSS). #### ul#mainNavigation { padding-left:185px; } ul#mainNavigation li { padding:0 16px; float: left; display:inline; position: relative; list-style: none; color:White; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.Seperator { padding:0px; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over { background-color:white; } ul#mainNavigation li.over a { color:Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { color:White; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; display:block; } ul#mainNavigation a:hover { color: Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { display: block; } ul#mainNavigation li p { height:19px; } ul#mainNavigation li ul { display: none; position: absolute; background-color:Black; opacity:.8; filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8; margin-left:-16px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul { display: block; z-index:999; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li { float: none; background:none; border:none; white-space:nowrap; padding:0px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a { color: white; padding:5px; border-bottom:solid 1px black; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a:hover { background: #3d1f6e; color: white; } ~~~~~~~ HTML ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <ul id="mainNavigation"> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink1.html">Mainlink1</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink2.html">Mainlink2</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> #### Thank you, in advance! ~ lahddah WHAT IS THE TYPICAL CSS PROBLEM FOR THIS ISSUE? w w w. jaywayproductions . c o m/portfolio/work_history.html It suppose to look the way it looks in IE. It is a little off in Firefox. I have been try'n several things to solve this particular issue but cannot. It seems as if the bottom and top row stretches and makes the effect I was trying to accomplish look off in FF. You can understand what I'm sayin' when you view both. Does anyone know why it is doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hello I am having difficulties with a site I am working on. First, if you look at it in IE and roll your mouse to the right of the site the whole thing shifts to the left. No idea why it does this. Second: In Firefox it looks like a disaster! Help! http://www.tombraiders.net/katie/shelly/index.html User: letme Pass: in Thank you! Hi everyone, For years I've been using tables solely to position elements on web pages but it's come to my attention that this is now "frowned" upon in the web community so I figured if I'm going to start doing things the more common way (with DIVs) I might as well start now. I'm not a professional website developer (C programmer here...eek! haha), but I do part time web work for some important clients of mine. So I have a very simple layout done with DIVs/CSS to start (code at the bottom). The problem is when you render it you'll see a large gap between the bottom of the layout and bottom of the page. My hypothesis is that this is due to where the "DIVs" would normally have been, except I moved them around. It sounds very similar to the problem encountered he http://forums.devshed.com/css-help-116/how-to-remove-blank-space-at-bottom-554773.html but I don't see what he did to solve it. Note that ultimately what I want is only the "header" and "footer" to have a fixed width/height. The leftcol and content should have fixed widths, but height grow with what ever is in them. And it should be centered in the page the way it is now. I tried various "text-wrap" and "height: 100%" and a few different codes but no luck. I really don't want to have to give up on DIV's but I am finding them a tad frustrating . I've altered the code from here (http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-Style-Sheets/DIV-Based-Layout-with-CSS/3/). I tried "floating" them but that didn't seem to help either or is messes up my centering, plus I don't want it expanding to different resolutions. Thanks in advance if you can give a DIV newbie a heads up.
