CSS - Header / Footer / 2 Column Layout With Fixed Left And Fluid Right W/out Javascript
I'm attempting to get a page that has a header, footer, left navigation bar with a fixed width, with a right "fluid" content section. I can get it to work by giving the main content a "margin-left" of the width of the navigation panel, and absolutely positioning the navigation. Problem is, with the navigation being absolutely positioned, it takes it out of the flow and doesn't push the container to fit its contents. I've trying playing with using floated divs, which is I'm sure the way I'll have to go, but I want the navigation bar to always be a fixed width of 175px, and I want the content section to stretch to fill the remaining space. I'd also like to make sure the content portion appears BEFORE the navigation panel in the order it appears on the HTML for SEO purposes. I'm sure it's easy using Javascript, but I'd like to do a pure CSS solution, if possible. How do I do that? Here is the link if you want to have a look:
http://www.chcs-ut.com/support.php?section=technical Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm trying to achieve the following: <div id="left">This column is of blue background, and stretches all the way to the left.</div> <div id="center"> THIS COLUMN IS FIXED WIDTH, 760px </div> <div id="right">This column is of red background, and stretches all the way to the right.</div> Hope that is self explanatory.. I've Googled all this but can only find solutions for fluid "center" columns with fixed width right/left columns. I'm trying to do the opposite. Could anyone let me know how I can do this? I've got some messy CSS that definitely needs to be corrected, I'm trying out different things so here's my 'trial& error' code: Code: #left { background-color: blue; float: left; margin: auto; position: absolute; } #center { background: #DFDFEB url(../images/body/top.jpg) no-repeat; width: 760px; margin: 0 auto; } #right { background-color: red; } Thanks in advance! Hello, im trying to make Fixed width 3 columns (each column have fixed width) layout 100% height with header and footer. -Well I see alot of examples around the web, but i dont see complete one and im really tired of searching, i made the Fixed width 3 comlumns layout, left and right are absolute position, and center is relative to the header -the problem is that all columns dont fill the whole height of the browser windows, the footer doesnot work good. so the whole thing is missed up, so please show 100% working example of what i need. Thanks in Advanced Samer I'm trying to construct a complex 3-column CSS layout. I would like the center column to be fixed-width, and the outer columns to split the remainder of the document's width. All 3 columns should be able to contain centered or floated block elements and accept mouse events. Currently, I have approached this problem two nearly-successful ways. The first was to float the outer columns, but then I have no way to make them fill out. The second was to float the outer columns, then set them both to 50% with the appropriate margin set to half the width of the center column, but then I lose mouse event support in the center column because of the margins. The relevant CSS follows: Code: html { height: 100%; width: 100%; } body { margin: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; } #left { float: left; height: 100%; /* 2nd attempt width: 50%; margin-right: 305px; */ } #right { float: right; height: 100%; /* 2nd attempt width: 50%; margin-left: 305px; */ } #center { margin: auto; height: 100%; width: 610px; } HTML-wise, the div order is #left, #right, #center. Does anyone know of a way to work around this? Link he rpisolution dot com/test/ Ok, the fixed-fluid-fixed part of the layout seems to work ok in the latest firefox and IE7 but it's broken in IE6 and possibly other versions. Could you guys take a look at the css? rpisolution dot com/test/css/style.css and see if you see what is breaking it in IE6, i thought I had put a hack that was supposed to fix the issues. btw, i know the CSS is probably ugly. sorry about that. thanks http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.). The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly. I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too. The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this. Thanks. Hello! I'm here after much googling, and I am bashing my head against the wall, so any help is appreciated: Footer and header, fixed size, attached to top and bottom of screen. I want the center div to be a fluid height to sit between the header and footer, and if the content extends beyond that, I want it to scroll within the div, not the page. Here, I'm linking to a picture to explain more clearly: portlandworkshop-dot-com-slash-projects-slash-divs-dot-jpg (it won't let me direct link.. durrr) Nothing I do seems to fix this conundrum... Can ANYONE point me in the right direction? I have found many different ways of doing the 3 column fluid layout on the net... http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts But none of theme seem simple enough to implement 3 fluid columns where each column is a percentage. I have found a couple, but modifying the css to find my percentage needs loses the effect often times because the css code is long and complicated with many embeded divs. Isnt there an easy way to have a header at top, 3 columns (20%,60%,20% widths) each stretching the same height and a footer at the end? I thought that floating would work, but i get mixed and undesired output in IE and FF. Thanks to all that contribute. I need a combination of this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fixed.php and this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fluid.php I need the middle column to be a fixed width and the outer two to be fluid. I also need to maintain the 100% with header and footer at top and bottom respectively. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks. 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 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #con { width:940px; height:400px; background-color:#00FFFF; } #wapper { width:940px; background-color:#006666; } #box { width:940px; background-color:#000033; height:40px; } #menu-pronuptia { width:185px; background-color:#6633CC; float:left; display:inline; } #menu-pronuptia1 { width:185px; background-color:#009900; display:inline; float:left; } #menu-pronuptia2 { width:385px; background-color:#0033CC; display:inline; float:left; clear:inherit; } #menu-pronuptia3 { width:185px; background-color:#CCCC33; display:inline; float:left; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="wapper"> <div id="menu-pronuptia"> <p>test</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> <div id="menu-pronuptia1"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> <div id="menu-pronuptia2"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> <div id="menu-pronuptia3"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div id="box"> <p><br /> </div> </body> </html> Hello, I came to this forum for help a couple months ago and was very impressed with how my questions were answered, so I hope nobody minds me coming around again. I've begun to create a stylesheet for my website that is completely fluid, rather than the 500px wide container my old stylesheet has. I've run into a couple problems that may or may not be related: 1) In my header div, I have an <h1> element and a <ul> that I'd like to be on the same line, but they're on different ones. 2) Both Firefox and Safari draw unnecessary scroll bars (both vertical and horizontal). 3) Sometimes my footer div will inch up from the bottom of the screen, where I'd hoped to leave it anchored. Here is a test html: http://www.bsuto.com/test.html and here is the css: http://www.bsuto.com/fluid.css Thanks! -Brian Hi all, I have a three column fluid layout that works reasonably well. However, I'm running into situations where people want to use these ridiculous tables that are way too big. What happens in those cases is that the middle column tends to just write itself on top of the right column.

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 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.

I just can't get it to work without messing up the 3rd column. I'm trying to use CSS to create a layout that has a top header, followed by a left side navbar, a center content area, and a bottom footer. I'm totally lost by the CSS needed to make this happen. Here's what I'm trying. It's borrowed from other posts that came up by searching for headers and footer. Any help would be fantastic. I'm trying to end my use of frames for the header and navbar. Thanks in advance for any help. Code: #header { left: 0; width: 100%; height:125px; top: 0; background-image: url(images/topbackground2.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #navbar{ width:122px; height:100%; background-color:#3f79a1; position: absolute; top: 125px; left: 0px;} #footer{ background-image: url(images/gradientsmaller2.gif); font: 10pt; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left:0; background-color: #ccffcc; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 0 15%; } First, I should share this fantastic piece of code for sticky footers (footer stays at the bottom even when content is short): http://scott.sauyet.com/CSS/Demo/FooterDemo1.html It works great for a liquid layout in FF and IE6. However, for fixed width layout, the container is left justified instead of centering the container. See: http://shawkey.com/stickyfooter/fixedlayoutstickyfooter.html Anyone want to hack at this with Firebug and see if they can get the container to be centered? Thanks! I'm having two issues with IE on my site. 1. IE is displaying the body background image (bg.jpg) throughout the entire page. 2. IE is pushing the sidebar way down. Neither of these issues exist in Firefox. I think the second issue may have something to do with the first issue. Here is the relevant code. Code: html,body * { padding:0px; margin:0px; } body { background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-color:#fb7d21; margin:0 auto; height:100%; } div#container { width:792px; margin:0 auto; background-image:url(images/filler.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } div#header { width:792px; height:109px; background-image:url(images/header.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; margin-top:20px; } div#content { float:left; width:570px; padding:0 0 0 10px; margin-top:-40px; } div#sidebar { float:right; width:212px; margin-top:-95px; } div#footer { clear:both; width:792px; height:84px; background-image:url(images/footer.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; } You can see the issues on my site here. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance. Hello, I created a 3 column layout with header and footer: http://www.27lamps.com/public/layout.htm The problems I have a 1. I am not able to extend my 3 columns so they have the same height. How can I do this? Do I need to use images somehow? I would prefer to use CSS only if possible. 2. I am not able to use padding in my columns without breaking the design. Could someone, please, help me fixing this problem and also improve my code? Thanks, Miguel Having coded using tables for the past 5 years, I'm coding my first site using pure CSS (hold back the laughter) ... I'm new to change. In any case ... I'm attempting to setup a homepage that has a fixed width and height. So far I've got a one-column header working fine. Beneath the one-column header I wish to have three columns with--dare I say it Web 2.0ish rounded corner cells--However the caveat is that these three cells need to all be a fixed height to go along with the page design. After two days of research, coffee, banging my head against my desk, I haven't been able to figure this one out. I am using an image at the top of each cell and an image at the bottom of each cell, but cannot get the cells to maintain a specific height.

I'm trying to use a 3 column fluid layout with a header and a footer. I've gotten past the browser problem with IE and now face a new problem with proper display in firefox. With the included css and attached xhtml layout I end up with a rather large gap on the bottom of the design without adding quite a bit of content to make the page length grow. I've tested with about everything else and this problem doesn't show up. I would gladly take some advise if anyone has any thanks.
