CSS - 100% Height Making Content Div Unecessarily Scrollable
Hi.
I'm having a funny problem where using 100% height makes the content div scrollable, even when there's no actual content in it. I am trying to make my content div be 100% height of the window size, so I have the following css: Code:
html, body
{
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#wrapper
{
background: #FFFFFF;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#header
{
background-image: url("images/h-bg.png");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px;
width: 960px;
height: 107px;
}
#header .logo
{
margin-left: 10px;
}
#header .bg_l
{
float: left;
}
#header .bg_r
{
float: right;
}
#nav
{
background-image: url("images/n-bg.png");
position: relative;
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 143px;
text-align: center;
}
#nav a
{
float: left;
outline-style: none;
width: 240px;
height: 156px;
}
#nav_btn_wrapper
{
width: 960px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#content
{
position: relative;
background-image: url("images/c-bg.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
width: 930px;
height: 100%;
margin: 10px auto 0px auto;
padding: 10px 15px 0px 15px;
font-size: 12pt;
}
As you can see I have height: 100% in every parent element from container up. Without the height set to 100%, the container div just cuts off, which is bad because I'm using a glowy background on it, and it just cuts off abruptly. I have used this method before on another design, but it worked only cos the wrapper and the container were both white, so when the container chopped off, the wrapper would continue, and it would look seemless. See www.landmarkmeds.com to see the problem in action. I have tried to remove the margin on the content div, but that only moved it up a bit. Also, looking at it in firebug, it reports the height as the correct value, and even shows the ruler down to the bottom of the browser window. Why then it allows me to scroll I don't know! I'm sure it's something stupid I've missed, but please help! Similar TutorialsI am trying to work out if its possible to have a div with overflow-x but have the height to whatever the height of the content is. Obviously the content won't have a fixed height for me to just set it. At the moment ive just got: <div style="display:block; overflow-x:auto;"> Lots of content here </div> Is this possible? Thanks So, here is the basic gist of what I'm attempting to achieve... Two main fixed-width columns: the one on the left containing my latest blog entry and the one on the right containing a menu of thumbnails. I want the menu column on the right to stop at the height of the left column and use a vertical scroll bar when the thumbnail content is too large to fit. I don't want to use a fixed height for the div containing the thumbnail menu because I want its height to reflect the height of the blog entry on the left. I started out with this tutorial but I don't think it's necessary for my purposes, or even necessarily a good starting point for this type of functionality. TLDR: It currently looks like this, and I want it to look like this. Any ideas? My ultimate goal: I have some content contained in a scrolling div (overflow:auto). If I hover over one of the links contained within this scrolling div, I would like to get a Netflix-style popup to come up. I want it to overlap over top of the scrolling div. My current attempts have resulted only in the popup content opening within the scrolling div, and making the scrollable region larger. This is not very good as if the user attempts to scroll too see the content they are no longer hovering over the link and the content disappears. Thus, I want the popup to happen outside of the confines of the scrolling div. My test: I have created a test to get down to the basics. In example 1, the blue div overlaps the green one. The green div remains 400px but the blue div overlaps it extends beyond it to 800px. In example 2, I add overflow:auto to the outer (green) div. In this scenario, the outer green div gets enlarged to 800px, only 400 of which is visible, and the rest hidden in the scrollable area. The inner blue div does not overlap the scrollable region so that the full 800px is visible. What I would like to see is for the green div to stay at 400px but have the blue div cover up the scroll bar and overlap the confines of the scrollable region. Is this at all possible? Any help is appreciated. I don't necessarily have to use divs.. anything I can use to get the job done would be great. Example 1: <html><body> <div style="background:green;height:200px;width:400px;z-index:0;position:absolute;"> <div style="background:blue;height:100px;width:800px;z-index:1;position:absolute;"></div> </div> </body></html> Example 2: <html><body> <div style="background:green;height:200px;width:400px;z-index:0;position:absolute;overflow:auto;"> <div style="background:blue;height:100px;width:800px;z-index:1;position:absolute;"></div> </div> </body></html> hello all, i recently tried to implement a layout which fills the available screenspace, with the main content area as scrolling box. I thought i succeeded, because firefox shown no problem, but when looked in IE, IE is very slow to render it, making it just unusable. I've been looking for a way around ,but i'm out of luck so far, so i thought i'd seek advise on this forum. Maybe you can tip me in the right direction ! An image is worth a thousand words, so please have a look at the attached image, it summarizes the screen structure. As you can see, the only scrollable area is the center orange zone : "viewport". thank you for your time and help ! Alexandre I have 2 div columns on a web page, they are positioned using css... the right column is taller than the left column, but the left column does not expand to the full height of the right column... I require this, because the left column has a background color that I want to go right to the bottom of the page. I have height: 100%; in the css style for the left column, but that only makes it 1 screen high... does anyone know of a way to make it the full height of the other column, ie stretch? I have tried height: auto; but that doesnt work either. Hey guys, I'm having some trouble getting a table to stretch to 100% of the browser height. It seems to work in IE but not in netscape. Any suggestions? Here is what I'm doing in headder tag: Code: <style type="text/css">
html,body { height:100%; }
.outer{ height:100%; }
</style>
Then in my code for the table I have this: Code: <table width="808" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="outer"> Should I try using a DIV tag instead? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks! as you can see on: Click Me when you hover over the links on the menu the height of the box changes since it is set to auto, is there a fix so it doesn't move?

thanks Matt This is what I would like to accomplish (though, vertical scrolling..) http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=037%2F037%2Ecss Must look at it with mozilla, btw.. doesn't work in IE. I can't figure out how the hell that person did that. Here is what I have so far... Forgive all the extra tags I don't need. I've been trying everything I can think of... h1{ position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 99; background-image: url(top.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-color: transparent; height: 358px; width: 800px; visibility: visible; background-position: top left;} h2{ position: fixed; top: 0px; background-image: url(sidestar.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-attachment: scroll; height: 6000px; width: 40px; z-index:1;} H1 is the code for the image I want to be on top, H2 is the "body" I want to disappear behind the image. When that is loaded, the image stays fixed in location, but the body scrolls on top of it, eating the image from the bottom. Any ideas what is wrong? If you have firefox, you can check out what is happening he http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/webnik/ I'm having a problem in IE6 when I make the browser window narrow so that all the images cannot fit horizontally. The page is at: URL In other browsers Firefox win/mac, Safari, things work ok if I make the browser window narrow so that some of the images in the right section (#section1) will not fit. The images get clipped and a horizontal scroller appears. But in IE6/Win, the whole table of images gets dropped down. I thought the issue was related to: Internet Explorer and the Expanding Box Problem URL But trying overflow:hidden; in #section1 did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- YamaMon Hello All, I'm currently trying to finish the main design for my church's website - and I'm having a problem with the #mainbody height. LINK TO SITE :: http:// update.gcmpg.com/ If I don't specify a height for #mainbody, it looks like this :: http:// img522.imageshack.us/img522/7663/noheight.png If I do specify a height for #mainbody (350px in this case), it looks like this :: http:// img716.imageshack.us/img716/5158/height350px.png Basically I'm trying to avoid having to specify a height for #mainbody on every page, it seems like a ridiculous notion to have to do so. I've tried the clearfix, but it doesn't work. and I'm having a brain fart. Thanks in advance for all the replies! Cheers! PS -don't mind the ugly graphics - they're just placeholders Hi, I'm working on a website with a header and footer. I want the footer to sit at the bottom of the page even when the content is shorter than the page. I got that to work but can't seem to get the content div to stretch to meet the footer. The background color is different so I need it to stretch down the page. The website is here http://www.tcglv.com/3dgweb/index2.html Here's the css... I'd appreciate it if anyone can see what i'm missing here... Code: * {

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 Let me start by saying I am a php programmer and just starting to get into CSS layouts (I'm a table layout person but trying to change that) Well I have searched and searched and I cannot find a solution to this. Basically as content_left and content_right grows vertically..... the content div they are in does not.... I tried display: table-cell as I've seen on some responses but that breaks in opera, the only way I can get it to look right is to do like height: 1000px; but the content will be dynamic so that won't work... I am sure there is a simple solution any help would be much appreciated thanks! Here is the code: Code: <style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
text-align:center;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#content {
position:relative;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#content_left {
position: relative;
width: 640px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid green;
}
#content_right {
position: relative;
width: 350px;
float: right;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
-->
</style>
and then the html Code: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="content"> <div id="content_left"><br />left<br /><br />left<br /></div> <div id="content_right"><br />right<br /><br />right<br /></div> </div> </div> This is my first completely css site and I am having troubles with my main content areas and some other small minor things. My design requires that the sidebar be the same height as my content area. What do I need to do to get them the same heights. The main content area changes on each page so my sidebar needs to do the same. Here is the website. I guess I cannot post url's so I hope I made sense. Also an example of what the site is going to look is here. Once again cannot post urls. Also, I need help with lists. In the example image I have the lists side-by-side. Normally I would use a table for this. Is there a way to do this with css? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Shaun Is there a way that this can be done, basically I have a div hidden based on certain JS logic, but the amount of space of the content in the div is still taken up on the screen. I would like to make the div say 0xp and discard content. Is there any code that can help me, I've looked but can't find. Thanks 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 have been struggling with this problem since i first started creating this layout (ages ago, but for development reasons, i stuck static width/heights in, just to work on my screen). I have searched google numerous times, but with no avail, as sites go on about something which is irrelevant to what im wanting (so maybe vague/bad use of keywords in search). any way i did a quick search on here, and any help given, does not seem to fix up my layout. My first basic problem is having a side navigation bar to fill the height of the screen, plus the header which is a static height. All this without creating scroll bars for the browser My second problem, which may be more or less the same as the above (miss-understanding of css), having a 100% height which includes padding.

The above is a simplified version of my site's layout, but they are the core div containers which i am trying to get positioned correctly. I seriously will thank any one who gives any help which leads me to fix this problem, as i am not too skilled with css, and this has been troubling me for some time. Thank you Hey, I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a solution and there seems to be none just quite yet. I've searched google and all sorts of help forums... and still zip, nothing. What I want to do is vertically-align the text in this example: http://www.tri-m.com/test.html in the middle of the white space. The problem though is that there is an unknown height of the whitespace because I want it to be that no matter what size you size the window, the content will always be vertically aligned... so I'm pretty stuck on how to do this. I'm needing the solution for this desperatly and I have been searching and trying everything for weeks. If anyone could help that would be VERY VERY apperciated. Thank you sooo much to everyone that tries this out. Once again here is the Example: http://www.tri-m.com/test.html Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
