CSS - Three Final Touches!!! Home Stretch For My Site!

this might be basic but I can't get it to work.

}
#subhead{
background-image: url(banImgs/top_sub_01.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 140px;
}

I want "top_sub_01.jpg" in every page to link to \default.html

Can someone please tell me what the font-stretch property within CSS does? I have been playing around with the following online example, but the way the text is rendered never changes.

Could someone please tell me how to use the font-stretch property? I am just trying to see what it does.

Thank you!

I have been trying to work a lot with CSS3 to rotate, scale, etc. One effect I've been trying to figure out is how to stretch something. I could scale it along the y axis but that's not really stretching. A stretch would mean the top and bottom (or left and right) sides would curve inward. How can I distort an element in this fashion?

Hello... I'm having some trouble. I have a container div set to 100% width. I have 2 small fixed width divs floated right and left and then a div between them that needs to stretch to fufill the 100% width while showing the background image of the container div. Works in Firefox, IE7... not so much. Any help is appreciated in advance

CSS

#container {
width: 100%;
background: url('images/topM.gif') repeat;
}

#leftFloat {
width: 30px;
float: left;
}

#rightFloat {
#width: 30px;
float: right;
}

#middleStretch {
height: 25px;
}
---------------------------
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>

Hi,

I am editing a dynamically driven site and I don't have access to edit the HTML code, just the CSS. I have a <div> with content in it within a <td> tag. When the div stretches past the width of the <td> tag it makes the table cell wider. Is there any way in CSS to have it not stretch the width of the cell? The <div> has an id="mylinks" on it, however the <td> or the <table> doesn't have any id or class on them.

I'm pully my hair out trying to figure out a fix, any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance

right....

i have two fixed width columns and i want them to be the same height - the height of whichever has the most content. so i figured i do something like:


+---------------------+
| +-----+ +----+ |
| | | | | |
| | | | b | |
| | a | | | |
| | | +----+ |
| | | |
| +-----+ |
+---------------------+


(OK - problems with spaces and non breaking thingy.. do you get the idea though? )

the container div will stretch to fit the content, divs a and b will increase in height depending on content. so i was thinking if i set divs a and b to be 100% height it would work. however, this will do nothing if i haven't defined the height of the parent (container). so i think, ok, i'll set that to 100% as well. however this does not work. when i say "does not work" i mean the following:

my container div fills the viewport. the column divs stretch from the bottom to the top of the page. -- all ok this far.

when i add a load of content, i the div (a or b) will stretch beyond the viewport BUT the other one doesn't.

now.. does anyone have any ideas of how i could do this? has anyone seen this anywhere? any help appreciated.

I feel so STUPID.

I have DIV[a]

inside DIV[a] is DIV[z]

DIV[z] is 200px high.

there is no height attribute et for DIV[a]

shouldnt DIV[a] stretch atleast to fit in DIV[z]

You can see here, in firefox, the dark background only comes
down 200px. That is because its height is at 200px, i did that
so you could see it. If I remove the height attribute, it
dissapears completley. The menu and such on the left are within this div, so it should stretch correct?

It works fine in IE.

If I need to explain more let me know.

Thanks

The font-stretch property, for example: css Code:
Original - css Code font-stretch: condensed;

  

 font-stretch: condensed; 

doesn't seem to be adequately supported by most browsers, even though it has been part of CSS 2 for quite a while. Most references I checked seemed to point to system font dependency, i.e., if your system does not have a condensed or expanded version of that particular font installed, no change in font width will appear. Why is this? Microsoft Word has an algorithm to stretch and condense all fonts, not just those with special versions. Why can't the css standard use a similar display algorithm to implement font-stretch?

Hi there,

I'm having trouble (right now Im just trying to get firefox to work) getting my #content div to stretch completely vertically. The #main div is stretching correctly, I figured I'd be able to use the same code to get the #content div to stretch. TIA - Mark

Ok, I have a gradient and i'm using it as the background for a <div> I want the whole background to show. So it's always dark at the bottom and light at the top. I have my image gradient.jpg and I want it to stretch or shrink vertially but repeat horizontally.


Heres what I have:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
div {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background-image: url(background.jpg);

}
-->
</style>

Like that it will only display half of the gradient if the gradient is longer than 50% of the page.

I want it to stretch or shrink the image so that the whole gradient is displayed.

I tried using the background-size: 100% attribute but it diddnt do anything :-\

Thanks for any help.

I can only get my page to display correctly in IE6. Not IE7 or Firefox. If anyone could help, it'd be much appreciated!

Basically, the borders on the left/right don't stretch all the way down the page in IE7 and Firefox (like they do in IE6).

Here is the website:

http://www.stacyandmatt.com/

Here's the simple HTML:

Code:

<body>
<div id="container">
	<div id="maincontent">
    	<div id="header">
	  		<p>&nbsp;</p>
		</div>
        <div id="navBar">
        	<p>&nbsp;</p>
		</div>
        <div id="mainRight">
        	<img src="images/mainPic.jpg" />
		</div>
        <div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>

And here is the CSS:

Code:

html, body {
	background: #000;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	color: #F09;
	height: 100%;
	line-height: 1.5em;
}

#container {
	background: #000;
	height: 100%;
	width: 780px;
	margin:auto;
	padding: 0;
	text-align: justify;
}

#maincontent {
	background: #000 url(../images/borderTest.jpg) repeat-y top left;
	height: 100%;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	border-right: 6px solid #F09;
	overflow: visible;
}

#header {
	background: url(../images/header.gif) no-repeat top left;
	width: 100%;
	height: 141px;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

#navBar {
	width: 155px;
	float: left;
	padding: 20px 0px 0px 40px;
	margin: 0px;
	color: #000000;
}

#mainRight {
	width: 555px;
	float: right;
	padding: 20px 5px 0px 5px;
	margin: 0px;
}

.spacer {
	clear: both;
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how i would go about stretching a background image for my website so as it stretches with different page sizes and resolutions an all the rest

I am working on this template: http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2790 & I need both the white & green content boxes to stretch as I add content. I don't know if this is even possible but would like to know if there is an easier way than having to create another (more stretched) image. Also as the content will be changing frequently I don't want to have to change from one image to another if I can help it.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Hello,

I have been playing with this for a few days now and I am completely frustrated.

The left side bar and the right side bar I need to auto stretch. I veiwed everything in several different browsers and screen resolutions. I orginally hade a body background picture and it worked perfectly except on firefox at 800x600. It was left aligned instead of centered.

So.. I made the backrounds and border colors instead. Now the problem is I cannot get them to auto strech - I am very frustrated. It seems to be all messed up in IE5.5 at 800x600.

Can anyone take a look and help me? Thanks in advance!
If you need the html - I would be glad to provide it.

Here is the css file:

i put a div container around all my divs (so i could center them and put a bg and border) and put height at 100% but it only stretches from the top of the viewable page to the bottom. if a text content div stretches beond the page (and i have to scroll) the main content div cuts off. i set body height to 100% also. i cant figure out a way around this other than set the height in PX but since the content will be includes i have no way of know how much will be on each page. is there anyway around this, even if i have to use tables.
