CSS - Keeping Row Height Constant When Individual Columns Expand
I'm trying to replicate what I had in html tables with css div. The final (I hope) problem is that as I populate cells with data retrieved from a MySQL data base there are columns that want to expand beyond the default height. When that happens, that cell overlaps the next row. If I use min-height, the cell alignment goes haywire because other cells are below the minimum. The workaround is to increase the default height, but that doesn't make me love divs. Is there a solution to this?
Here's my code (stripped down--there'e a lot more to the application, and sanitised for anonymity). Thank you. <style type="text/css" media="screen, print, projection"> body, html { margin:0; padding:0; color:#000; background:LightBlue; } #wrap { width:99.5%; margin:0 auto; background:LightBlue; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; border: none; } #p { float:left; width:72.5%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border: 3px solid navy; } # li { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; height: 36px; font-size:small; } #p li.header { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; font-weight:bold; font-size:medium; height: 24px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; } #p ul { margin:0; padding:0px; list-style:none; } #p p { font-weight:bold; font-size: medium: padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #title { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; width:100%; } #button { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:10%; } #pt { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:20%; } #c { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:30%; } #ex { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:19%; } #az { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:9%; } #ep { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; width:11%; } </style> </head> <body> <?php // code to connect to mysql and do do some other stuff goes here $cl=field_already_retrieved_from db; echo "<div id=wrap>"; //wrapper for entire page (the real application does a lot more than this section $result = mysql_query //sql select statment goes here $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "<div id='p'>"; //wrapper for p's echo "<div id='title'>"; echo "<ul><li class=header>Lines</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end title while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $p=$row['p']; $v=$row['V']; echo "<form action='detail.php' method='post'> "; echo "<div id='button'>"; //button to display line detail echo "<ul><li>"; echo "<input type='submit' class='btn' name='line' value ='Detail'><input type='hidden' name='p' value ='$p'><input type='hidden' name='v' value ='$v'><input type='hidden' name='cl' value ='$cl'>"; echo "</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end button echo "</form>"; echo "<div id='pt'>"; echo "<ul><li>"; echo $row['pt']; echo "</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end pt echo "<div id='c'>"; echo "<ul><li>"; echo $row['c'] .

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg I'm trying to make up a thumbnail page that shows pics in a row at a constant height. I don't want the images distorted so the width will vary. I tried: Code: img.proj_thumb {border-style:none; height:75px; width:auto}
Ths worked on mylaptop, but fails on the server - see the attached pics. Any suggestions? Hi, Is there any way to set a DIV that starts at 500px height but can grow if the content inside is longer than that? Thanks. God, this is really simple but I have forgotten how to get the containing box to expand Basically the text div expands but the containing div doesn't PHP Code: <div style="width: 300px; min-height: 200px; border: 1px dashed red;"> <div style="border: 0; width: 110px; height: 110px; float: left;"> <img src="#" width="100" height="80" border="0" align="left" /> </div> <div style="border: 0; width: 190px; min-height: 200px; float: right;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Nam fermentum, metus in varius scelerisque, diam purus tristique tortor, vitae suscipit elit ipsum eu dolor. Ut dictum porttitor velit. Pellentesque cursus purus elementum dui. Phasellus aliquet ante vitae pede. </div> </div> I am working on aligning a pricelist with product and price. The procuct is on the left, and the price should align to the right on the same line. When I try to use float: right in the div for the price it jumps down a line, if I use text-align right in a relative devision it also jumps doen a line. I also tried adding align:right to the b tag. Any ideas how to get this done? I am trying to avoid tables. Thanks I searched for something I want but I didn't find exactly that, or maibe something is wrong but in IE the page does not look ok. What I want is to have my page looks identical in IE as in FF or OPERA. I will explain here how I done the code PHP Code: <td rowspan="2" width="600" align="left" height="100%" valign="top" > <div class="brand_list_big"> <div class="box_header" style="background-color:#79B602;">CARS LISTED BY BRANDS</div> <div class="box_content" style="width:560px;"> <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Audi</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 2</span></div> <div class="car_list"> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">audi tt</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">Saturn Sky Roadster</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> </div> ... <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Alfa-Romeo</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 0</span></div> ... div.box_header { width: 99,5%; margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } div.box_content { margin: 0 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; height: 100%; scrollbar-face-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-highlight-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color:#919AA4; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFCC00; scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF; } .brand_list_header { width: 99,5%; padding: 2px 0 2px 5px; background-color:#E3FEB1; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-bottom: 0 solid #CCCCCC; margin-top: 10px; overflow:auto; /* I added this now and in ff and Opera everithing is ok, but not in IE*/ } .car_list { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; background-color:#FFFFFF; clear:both; overflow:auto; } .fleft { float: left; margin: 2px 2px 2px 10px; clear:left; } .fright { float: right; } img.new_img { margin: 2px 10px 0 0 ; /*the img from my code( <img 1>, <img 2> ) have this class*/ } Any Ideea why in IE the divs are not ok ? First I tried to list the cars from a brand using <li> elements but I didn't know how to align the images ( icons ) at the right side, like are now. 10x in advance, waiting for a response see ya I have an absolutely position <div> with some content positioned within it. I do not always know the size of the inner content so my problem is getting the outer div to expand to the height of the inner div. Is there a solution for this with absolutely positioned items that wil work in IE/Firefox/Safari? I'm attaching a simple html file which mimics what i am trying to accomplish and the code is below: Code: <div id="detailBlock" style="position: absolute; width: 250px; height: 35px; z-index: 3; border: 1px solid #000; overflow: visible; background-color: #fff5d9; font-size: 8pt; top: 50px; left: 100px;"> <div id="closeBlock" style="position: absolute; width: 40px; height: 8px; left: 210px; top: 3px; font-size: 7pt;"><a href="javascript: closeDetail();">CLOSE</a></div> <div id="detailContent" style="position: relative; width: 240px; top: 15px; left: 5px; border: 1px solid #F00;">Content whose size i do not know...So if I write anything substantial in here it will go over the edge</div> Thanks in advance for your help. Hello, I'm working on a website for a client: http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/ http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/rimlox.css My current problem is getting the body to scale to 100% height. At the moment, it stretches to 100% of the browser window, which is great, but if if the content within all the nested divs expands to a height larger than that of the screen, the background does expand with it. In my troubleshooting, I gave the body a 1px border and found out that the body remains at the fixed size of the window even though the content within it expands. I tried messing with the overflow property, all to no avail. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this one. I'm a newbie to css. I'm trying to convert tables to css and having a bit of a tough time. Latest problem - create a window or container with a one line border with minimum height, say 600px, but the height will expand as the content grows. Any help? Thank you kindly! I attached an image with an exemple of my problem, left side is from Internet explorer and right side is from Opera and Firefox. The div in which I inserted that image does not expand in height as much as the image height .. only on how much text I insert in that div. How can I fix this in opera and firefox ? PHP Code: .bggrad{ background-image:url(images/bg-gradient-b-w.gif); width:486px; text-align:left; height:auto; /* INITIALY I DID NOT USED HEIGHT BUT IT WAS THE SAME */ } img.img_event{ padding:4px; border:1px solid #FFC91B; background-color:#FFF4CB; margin:10px; } <div class="bggrad"> <img src="images/test.gif" width="117" height="148" border="0" class="img_event" align="left"> text text text text </div> 10x in advance Doh! Nevermind, I fixed my problem. Hello all. I have a site with 2 columns. I would like the left column to be the same height as the right column. The right column will always be longer than the left.

Any thoughts? Hi, I am trying to better understand how column heights are displayed, and how to create full height columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index.html, the column which drives the height of the page is <div id="main">, and the left and right columns do not span the entire column height, and the red <div id="content"> shows at the bottom of both side columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index2.html, I put less stuff in the center <div id="main"> so it wouldn't drive the height of the page. The green <div id="main">, however, did cover the entire column unlike the left and right column on the earlier page. Can anyone help me understand what is going on, and why one column has full height color yet not the other one? Also, what is the best way to make the left and right column have full height color? I know I can apply a repeating background graphic to <div id="content"> which mimics the appearance of the left and right column, however, it would be nice to do differently if possible. My code is listed below (sorry about the ugly colors!) Thanks Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Hi I need these 3 columns http://dmumford.bizhat.com/equalheights.htm to be of equal height regardless of what column has the most text in. Could somone please help me with this, I have looked at Paul OB's 2 col example but I am at a puzzle how to do it with my requirements!! Your help is much appreciated! I am baffled by what seems like a simple task which I can't seem to find the solution to. I've two columns (#top_left, #top_right) inside a containing div (#top_container). I want both columns to be the same height (100%). So if the column on the right has more content, the column on the left will stretch to match the same height. If I set a fixed height on the containing div (#top_container), it fixes the issue, since at this point my declaration of height:100% on the two columns actually knows what it is supposed to be 100% of. But then I run into overflow issues if the content goes over fixed height and when I try min-height, the columns fail to stretch once more. Here is my code: Code:
<style type="text/css">
#top_container {width:760px;}
#top_left {float:left; height:100%; width:200px;}
#top_right {float:left; height:100%; width:560px;}
</style>
<div id="top_container">
<div id="top_left">Content</div>
<div id="top_right">Content</div>
<br clear="all" />
</div>
I've slimmed down the code and cut out non relevant pieces like font styling, colors, and other non pertinent sections. Hi... Not sure how to title this message, but here's the problem: I've got a site that has three columns of variable length text. Each column must have a 2px left border. No problem so far. Under each column of text, I must align a block of links. These blocks must align along the top link. The borders must continue from the top of the text to the bottom of the links. Does this make sense? The problem I have is the border is only solid on the column with the longest amount of text and breaks on the shorter ones. I can get this to work by setting a fixed height for the text, but that doesn't seem like a great solution as it would have to be changed as the text length changes. my CSS: Code: .box {border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; width: 254px; float: left; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;}
.txt {font: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;}
.linkscontainer {width: 853px; clear: both;}
.linkbox1 {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}
.linkbox {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}
my html: Code: <html> <head> <link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="linkscontainer"> <div class="linkbox1">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> <div class="linkbox">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> <div class="linkbox">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> </div> </body> </html> Thanks for any help! :grimey Hi i want to have a site with 3 columns a header and a footer where the height of the content and both the columns spreads to fill the page even if there is only a few lines of content. Also i wanted to have a margin round the page so that the page doesnt fill the screen horizontal. i cant seem to get it to work correctly does anyone have an example i can look at? cheers Andy Hello, Below is css I am trying to get to work and use as a template for a two column , header, and footer layout. I can get by with css, but an not a designer so can't figure out the exact specifics on how to do this. I've looked at many sites, make examples, javascripts included, but either they are to hard to fit into what I am looking for or just cause me to hit my head against the wall. I'm trying to get the left columns background to fill height 100% to the footer. The content's doesn't need it because the wrapper's background act's as its color. Also, if either column's height changes past the screen's height. I need the footer to move down too. Currently, I tested if the left-column and the main content goes past the screen's height it will just go past the footer. This works beacuse the css I have currently is making sure that the footer is always at the bottom. Code: <html >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
html {
overflow-y: scroll; /* forces firefox scrollbar on */
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #F2F2F2;
font: 100% Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
height: 100%;
}
/* text-align: center; is so that the content will float in the center*/
div.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: left;
margin-bottom: 42px;
}
div.header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
font-size: 1.5em;
height: 42px;
}
div.footer {
position: absolute; bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
font-size: 1.5em;
height: 42px;
}
div.wrapper .left {
width: 215px;
float: left;
background: yellow;
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
div.wrapper .right {
width:auto;
margin-left: 215px;
}
div.wrapper .tabs {
background: green;
height: 35px;
}
div.wrapper .mainContent {
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header" class="header">header</div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="leftColumn" class="left">left content</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="tabs">Tabs go here</div>
<div class="mainContent">Main content goes here</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer" class="footer">footer</div>
</body>
</html>
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance. Risso Hey, I have two columns on a site I'm working on, which are a liquid height, this works fine, the page scales the overall page height to contain all off the content. The thing is, I want column 1 to dictate the height of the page, and for column 2 to match that height and add scroll bars if needed. So far I have: Code:
#wrapper {
width:975px;
background-image: url("../Images/main_background.jpg");
}
#left_column {
width:625px;
float:left;
padding:0px 25px 0px 25px;
}
#right_column {
width:250px;
float:right;
padding:0px 25px 0px 25px;
}
I experimented with adding overflow:auto;, overflow:scroll; and height:inherit; to the right column, but it still stretches to contain the content in the right_column. Any ideas? Thanks guys. |
