CSS - An Extra Column Outside A Centered Main Box

OK...thbbt.

Situation 1 (the one that works as I want)

Code:

<table style="width: 100%">
  <tr>
    <td style="width: 15em">Column 1</td>
    <td>Column 2</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In Situation 1, the second column expands to be all of the remaining width. This is good.

Situation 2

Code:

<table style="width: 100%">
  <tr>
    <td style="width: 15em">Column 1</td>
    <td>Column 2</td>
    <td>Column 3</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In Situation 2, column 2 and 3 share the remaining space. I want column 2 to take no more than exactly the space it needs. I want column 3 to expand to take all the remaining space.

The only way I've found that (sorta) works is to actually use the old HTML width="" attribute and make it a percentage that's impossible. If you make it 95% or something, then all the other columns squeeze down pretty far. The issue with this approach is that it ignores the style width of the first column and just crushes it as much as possible.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks

I am working on the new home page which is based on a template.

The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout.

Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like

Here are the problems I am having:

1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden.

There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want.

2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css:

#home img {
margin: 5px auto 5px auto;
}

which I thought would do the trick, but it's not.

3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does.

Here is what I have for the css:

#home p, .large {
margin: auto 40px auto 40px;
}

It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code:

  	<!--begin wrapper-->
  	<div id="wrapper">
  
  	<!--begin side column -->
  	<div id="sideColumn">

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. 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.

I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules --
The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp
and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg

Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out.

Thanks a lot!

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>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; }

  

  


 div.container


 {


   height: 400px;


   width: 800px;


   overflow: scroll;


 }


 table


 {


   width: 100%;


 }


 td

 }


 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

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?

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.

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.

Here's the html:

Code:

<body>

<div id="pagewidth">

 clear: both;

 }
 
.clearfix{display: inline-table;}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix{height: 1%;}
.clearfix{display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */  


 
 /*printer styles*/ 
 @media print{ 
/*hide the left column when printing*/ 
#leftcol{display:none;} 

/*hide the right column when printing*/ 
#rightcol{display:none;} 
#twocols, #maincol{width:100%; float:none;}
}

Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything.

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;
    } 

hi all, right have got a problem which has been bugging me for days now. i have 4 columns in a row (inside a wapper div)which all will have different content image, text other divs/classes etc. now one of these columns will be quite fluid as it will have different text on each page meaning it will be quite long on some pages not on others. the problem i am getting is in the good browsers firefox etc its ok in IE6+. the wapper does'nt seem to see the divs in the content meaning it does not get filled, meaning that the footer flys to the top and not where it should be, i dont have a live version but heres the code: mainly thanks Dan

Hello!

I'm new to CSS, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

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...'
It should be right underneath the navigation bar. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/search.asp has a two column effect. The CSS for it is he http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/css/screen.css I was wondering why if there is a table in the right hand column with a width percentage over 77% there is some horizontal scrolling? This happens in IE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

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.

I understand that this is a common problem and I've looked at a lot of examples on the web of how to work around this or create a better layout but I'm still not sure enough to know which would be the easiest and best to go within the page I have written.

I want to avoid images but other than that any help would be great!

I have validated the HTML & CSS and they are copied below (could any advice be really specific, as I said this is very new to me!).


Thanks

I have a site that I am working on:

test dot choupique dot com

The #subpage class is centered in internet explorer 9, but not firefox 5. I can't figure out why for the life of me. Can anyone see why?

Thanks
