CSS - 2 Column Layout - Problem With Right Column
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! Similar TutorialsHey, 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? 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! 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!).

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. Janusz Jasinski I have a two column, three row layout for my website. I'm having problems where my left column is longer than the middle "main" content, and when that happends it overlaps my footer instead of pushing it down. Would someone mind looking at my html/css and tell me how I can fix this issue? Link: http://mividdesigns.com/csshelp.html By the way, it works/looks fine in FF, but I have problems in IE. Thank You! I have this problem on 2 sites I'm working on. I can't seem to nest 2 divs in a content div to create a 2 column layout. In FF it seems to work fine but IE is pushing the left column content down below the right column content. I've tried many things and I'm stuck. Am I going about the whole concept the wrong way or is there some small hack I'm missing somewhere? Any help would be great. link Thanks, Brad i want 2 columns side by side:css is as below. it seems the 2nd column is displayed below the first column.wat can be done to avoid this. div#column1 { margin-left: 150px; width: 70px; height: 500px; background: #CCCCFF; color: blue;} div#column2 { margin-left: 250px; color: black; background: blue; } [/CODE]I have a 2 column css layout.

Can anyone give me some advice or what to do to make this line go the length of the page?? Thanks in advance, Mike Hello I would be really grateful if anyone can help me - I'm struggling with a 3 column layout using css. It seems to work well in all except IE6 (I'm looking at it on a Mac using Safari and Firefox, I've got different browser screen shots from a website and all seem OK except IE6, which puts the center column under the other two, instead of at the same height. If anyone has any ideas, they'd be much appreciated - I don't really know what I'm doing with css, and I have tried several different 3 col layouts that I've found on the web: this is the only one that has worked in almost all browsers for me.

Thanks for your time! Frances I have a css site which is structured as following: <head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="navigation"></div> <div id="leftmenu"></div> <div id="rightmenu"></div> <div id="content"></div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> #container{width:100%;height:100%;} #header{height:105px;width:100%;} #navigation {width:100%;} #LeftMenu { position: absolute; width: 150px; top: 145px; left: 2px; height: 553px;} #RightMenu{ position: absolute; width: 220px; top: 145px; right: 2px; height: 553px; } #content{ margin: 20px 225px 5px 155px; height: 550px; } My main problem is that when the left menu or right menu content increases it overflows the container and goes above footer. how can i make leftmenu, content and right menu when one is increasing all to increase together? Cheers I'm working on site with some main containers and a 3-column content area inside the containers. The middle column on IE win is getting bumped down below the left column when it should be aligned to top. I'm kind of a novice so I have no idea what's going on. Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance! Hi, I have a 4 column layout, all the columns have percentage widths at the moment but I want the 3rd column to be fixed width. I can't seem to figure out how I can have columns 1,2 and 4 fluid and fit the page, whilst having column 3 fixed width. Code: ________________________________________________ | expand | expand | fixed | expand | | | | width | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | atm i've created this by just using position:absolute; and then a % width and % from left side. For example the 2nd column atm is width:20%; left:40%; (because 1st column is 40% width) I'm sure you can help, thx! (if I didn't explain too well, ask all questions ) I'm working on a new design for my blog and having a problem with a border. I have a three column layout and want to have a border on the left, right, and bottom the container div, but instead of surrounding it it just sticks it at the top by itself. Heres the page and css Code:

I'm sure its something stupid but I haven't been able to figure it out all day. I have an issue with a 2 column CSS layout. Here is my code: Code:

Which produces this: Basically, I need a set up on the columns so that if there is no content in the left column (col1) col 2 will fill up the missing area. It doesn't work with the above code, specifically because of this part of the CSS Code: #col2 {
float:left;
width:70%;
background:yellow;
}
Which makes col2 move to the left, but retains the 70% width If i change the width to 100% or auto, then the col2 appears below col1 if I have content in col1. If I put no width or float in col2, the content in col2 wraps around col1: Help greatly appreciated I have a pretty typical three column layout with col1 floating left, col2 in the middle and col3 floating right. The HTML calls the divs in order of col1,col3,col2 and everything generally works fine with the exception of using a div in the middle column (col2) with a style that has clear:both in it. The clear:both clears all items in the sidebar columns and not just in the middle column (which is what I want). The problem can be seen at the below URLs. wwwDOTjessiekpowellDOTcom/2009/08/kristin-cavallari-filming-on-malibu-beach-for-the-hills/ and wwwDOTjessiekpowellDOTcom/2009/10/alessandra-ambrosio-bikini-photo-shoot/ As you will see the second set of images from the gallery is displayed after a huge gap of white space after it has cleared the last div in the right sidebar. What I want is to just clear the first row of images in the middle column. This does not just affect images but anything with a div style=clear:both Any suggestions will be appreciated as I've exhausted my skills on this one. At the moment I have a css layout nearly done. It works fine in IE and Firefox except for that the left navbar does not push the footer down. Instead it jumps out the parent div. The 2nd (maincontent) and 3rd (right column) do push the footer down. This wouldn't be such a problem if the navbar would contain static content, but it is dynamic and database driven. A simple solution would be to move the navigate thing to the right bar, but sadly I'm not allowed to do that. Layout CSS code Code: #body {

Live example Can anyone (dev)shed some light on this? I just can't get it to work without messing up the 3rd column. My site has three columns. left-middle-right The middle column in IE is right underneath the header as it should be. On firefox the middle coumn is as far below the header as the height of the right column. I have tried everything but i cant get it to look right in both browsers. It is all done with floated divs and doesn't use any tables at all. Please can someone help me! www.datahq-online.co.uk Thank you! Hi, I'm working on a website for a church and we're near completion, but I'm having trouble getting the site to display properly in IE7 on Windows XP and a few other browsers according to browsershots.org. CSS and XHTML both validate at w3c.org. I've ripped this thing apart and put it back together with no luck. The really weird thing is the Home page looks fine, but in the rest of the pages the body content gets pushed below the left and right navigation bars. Is it a CSS float problem? Margins or paddings??? Home page: Looks OK in IE7, at least on my machine - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/index_temp.php Ministry page: Content is pushed to bottom of page - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/mini...ns_ministry.php The CSS files are at http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/main.css and http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/common.css. Would anyone be willing to take a look? Thanks in advance. 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-->
