CSS - Background Height:100%, Not Stretching As Hoped
I am attempting to build a site with a fixed-width column that automatically centers in a window. In addition, I need the center color to extend to the bottom of the browser OR to the end of the content, which ever is longer.
Right now, everything works great, until the content requires the page to scroll (either due to longer content or a shrunk browser window). For some reason, even though the "testing" text will continue, the background color stops short. How can I make the background always extend to the bottom of the text, no matter the browser size or content length? (I do have a much more complicated site built with an external style sheet, but to save hastle, this is a stripped down version showing just the issue I am having. The problem doesn't change even with nesting elements in the "main" div). Sorry if this question is dumb/obvious to anyone, I have tried finding a solution and it just seems to elude me. Thanx for any help anyone can offer! Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {
height:100%;
}
body {
text-align:center;
background-color:#1a5026;
color:#09380e;
height:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#main {
background-color:#d1e2b8;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:900px;
height:100%;
position:relative;
}
</style>

#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 Hello 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! Hi, I have a site with a left navigation bar (which is fixed width, and has a background colour that must stretch full screen from top to bottom of the page). The site is: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005/z.html Stylesheet: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005...s/style2005.css As you can see, the left navigation menu stops once the content within the div is displayed. It does not stretch to the bottom of the screen. (say if you're on 1024 x 768 resolution) Note: this varies according to the main (right) content. If the main content was shorter than the menu bar - it would work fine. The menu bar has a min-height of 100% which means the background applies to the size of your screen. However, if the main content height is greater than that of the menu bar - then the menu bar will not adapt, but the background simply stops. Is there a workaround for this? With tables, this could easily be achieved because the background colour of one cell is stretch until the end of the table, and not the content within the cell. However, I'd like to do this with CSS. Here's some CSS: Code:
body, p {
color:#666666 ;
font-family: Verdana, Arial ;
font-size:7.5pt ;
font-weight:normal;
}
body {
height:100%;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #2F201E;
}
#container {
width: 968px;
height:100%;
}
#nav {
width: 201px;
border-right: 3px solid #FFFFFF;
background: #8D603B;
float: left;
min-height:100%;
}
I've tried switching "min-height" and "height" but they don't seem to do what I want.... if anyone could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks a lot! 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? I'm in the middle of learning CSS and have come along alright for the most part. I have two small questions though. 1) The page I'm working on is http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php. It's a three-column layout, with div boxes holding various links down the right and left sides of articles that will be posted. There is a main div that all of this sits in, and that expands just fine to whatever amount of content the article may have. But if the article were to have just a samll amount of content, the div wouldn't expand to the minimum height established by the link boxes on the right and left. How do I make that happen? I just need the light grey box to expand down to the lowest point on the page. 2) Notice the small box with the yellow border in the middle. I want this to be a copyright footer, but have a similar problem. How do I make that box appear 10px below whatever the lowest point for the main div is? Basically, I need the nav boxes to push everything down. I HOPE this can be done fluidly, so I can simply add and remove boxes quickly without needing a CSS edit...that's the goal anyway...modular nav boxes. My CSS is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.css and the page is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php (Also note that this is really all I'm asking. I'm going to clean up the rest...just roughing it out right now.) Anyway, thanks in advance. I have a background that is fixed, but it isn't large enough to fit all monitors, so i'd like to stretch it to fix (not repeat), but can't seem to figure out how.. here's my current code Code: <style type="text/css">
body
{background-image: url("/Images/AngelLayout.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;}
</style>
Hi guys, I'm roughing out a template and wondered if you could please help me with something: In IE the background graphic body-stretch.jpg does not stretch as it does in Firefox, I read around and thought this may be something to do with the peekaboo hack but I couldn't get any of the fixes to work. Any ideas? Also, you will see I have a footer graphic that stretches all the way across the bottom of the page, right now it is outside my "container" div because when placed inside it is restricted to the width of the container and not to the edges of the page. If I change the width of the container to suit it everything gets left aligned. Placing the footer div outside the container means the textual content crosses over it (see page in firefox to see what I mean). Pulling my hair out! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated Code:

My code is below. The problem is the images in leftFloat & rightFloat are transparent png's and the middle background image stretches into those divs are appear behind the transparent png's in Firefox only. This does not happen in IE. I've tried setting different background images, background image to none and nothing seems to work. Any ideas are appreciated. CSS #container { width: 100%; background: url('images/topM.gif') repeat; } #leftFloat { width: 30px; float: left; } #rightFloat { #width: 30px; float: right; } #middleStretch { height: 25px; min-height: 1% } --------------------------- XHTML <div id="container"> <div id="leftFloat"/>image goes here</div> <div id="rightFloat">image goes here</div> <div id="middleStretch">this div should stretch to fill the space between the left & right floats showing while repeating container background image</div> <!--end #container--></div> Since I began doing CSS layouts instead of tables last year, it seems like every single site I do I run into the same problem -- getting a div to stretch to 100% height. I find the solution to it, it works; then when I try the exact same solution for the next site I do, it refuses to work properly. It's very frustrating how such a simple concept can be so hard to do... http:// www. pinstripepresentations.com/stephanie/residential.php There are two divs -- left column and right column -- within a page_wrapper div. I need the right column div and it's background to always be 100% height and touch the top and bottom of the window. But right now it only stretches to the window viewable area and doesn't continue when you scroll. I've included all the parent height commands. I've been fighting with this dang thing for a whole day and I'm not sure what else to try. Please help! hello, im gonna try to explain my problem. I have a wrapper div with a background image that is repeated on Y. Within that wrapper i have a content div, there are messages that come from a database. the problem is that the wrapper (and the background) isnt expending to the text that is in the content div. How to make the wrapper expend to the size of the content div!?. here are my divs: Code:
div.wrapper{
position:relative;
width:900px;
background:transparent url(images/templatemo_content_bg.jpg) repeat-y scroll 0 0;
margin:auto;
}
div.content{

i changed alot to try and now im totaly lost xD greetings Razedd Hi I have searched on this subject, and found the Faux Column articles, but I have failed to make use of these. The following page shows the problem LINK And CSS The text in the container div leads off the bottom of the page. The CSS is a bit of a mess at the moment because I have been messing with it trying to get this to work. I need the background of the container div to extend to the bottom of the content div. I have set min-height and heights for the body and html tags, and then for the container, as I know that the height is only taken into account if the parent has a height too. This does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks Jake i am trying to have the background of all pages appear like this one: www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/events/ however it will only fill its parent container, like this www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/media/ fade1000.png is the image i need to cover the entire pages content. /* HTML Tag Redefinition */ html { height: 100%; background: #000000 url(images/background.png) center center fixed; background-size: cover;} body { padding: 0px; margin: auto; height:100%; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; } img { border: 0px; } a {cursorointer; } /* Page Structure / Navigation */ #page { position:relative; width: 1000px; margin: auto; text-align:left; background: url(images/fade1000.png) repeat-y; min-height:200%;} #page.logo {position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:330;} #page input { color: #c2d826; background-color: #000000; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#444444; padding:2px; font-size:10px;} #page #content {width: 900px; margin:auto; text-align:left; position:relative; height:100%; } #page #content #header{ position:relative; width:900px; float:left; } Hello, I had a site exactly how I wanted to and messed up a css file. I am almost back to where I was but I am having an issue with the background image of the body element. Please look at this layout - Client Website . Notice how the hardwood floor does not go all the down? I have the image sized to 1500 pixels high and yesterday I did not have this issue. Also, when I outline elements in FF I see the body element seems to fall short. Any help would be appreciated. Tom I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this unless there is a trick or hack....Can u set a background images height & width in a tag? I have a logo'd masthead that I need to reduce when the user wants to print the page. I know I can just create a print-specific image but, I thought I'd ask to see if there was a way to reduce the image thru .css??? thanks! Stephen Hey guys, how are you? So, I got two questions. Right now, on my main pages I have a fixed height, and wondering the best way to change it to a liquid one, so no matter how long the page is, I get a white background that's consistent with my 'main' <div>. And the second one, is how do I get a second background image on the body? I'm probably going to use almost almost a mirror type gradient of the top gradient, but not sure how to add it. You can view the two problems here http://thecheckoutplace.com/ home page). Thanks for your time, cheers. Hi all, I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with a coding problem.

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) |
