CSS - Divs And Percentage Width
I hope I can explain this in a way that makes sense. I have a table layout where the number of columns is variable (sometimes it can have 1 column, sometimes it can have up to 9 columns), depending on what data is filled out on a previous form.
The code in question: Code: <tr> <td> <div style="float: left; width: 13px"><img src="arrow.gif"></div> <div style="float: left; width: 93%;">My explanatory text goes here!</div> </td> <td> Column 2 Text </td> <td> Column 3 Text (and so on) </td> </tr> The two divs there need to float next to each other -- the first div is a little 13x13 arrow, the second div is some explanatory text. I can not just float the image left (and not put the text in a div), because the client wants the text to be left aligned in the div, not wrapping around the image. The issue: If there are less than 5 or 6 columns, it works beautifully. If you put more columns in there, then the second div appears below the first div. I've been fiddling with the widths on the second div, but it has to be a percentage (not a set number of pixels), because the number of columns is variable (as is the width of those columns). How can I make the columns float next to each other regardless of the width of the table cell that they are within? Any help is appreciated. Similar TutorialsI'm wondering if it's possible to combine fixed pixel width borders and percentage width? I know I can do this... Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<style>
.div1
{
float: left;
width: 50%;
background: green;
}
.div2
{
float: left;
width: 48%;
background: red;
padding: 1%;
}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div class='div1'>
test
</div>
<div class='div2'>
test
</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But what I'd like to be able to do is specify a padding of 10px on div2 without breaking the layout. Is this possible with the w3c box model? Firefox 3.6 is showing a blank screen for everything I have set as 100% width but looks ok in Firefox 5. My main concern at this point is this: I'm trying to figure out how to move the 4 navigation items (the owl, contact, portfolio and home) closer to the tree without going over or under it. Any help or suggestions I can get are much appreciated! ------------------------------------- Here's the HTML: Code:

NEVER MIND. Got it. lol I have two div tags that I want to float next to each other. The page looks like this <table>These Tables stretch 100% of the width</table> <table>''</table> <div class="ParentDiv"> <div class="menuholder"></div> <div class="ChildDiv"></div></div> in FF everything works the way I want to. In IE if I shrink down the browser then the second div tag drops below the first. I want to change this so that it does not drop below but remains in the same place. Is there anything I can set to do that? If I remove the float and change the position on the menuholder the childdiv tag does not drop but the menuHolder content does not stretch the size of the parentDiv and gets chopped off at the height of the childDiv Code:
.ParentDiv {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 997 ? '997px' : '100%');
min-width:997px;
max-width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
min-height: 400px;
}
.ChildDiv {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: 400px;
}
.menuholder {
background-color: #EFF3F5;
color: #eef;
position: relative;
float: left;

top: 0px;
overflow: hidden;

Hang on to this post, I have found a couple of answers, so will post again when i get stuck! Charlie Good day! I have exhausted all of the people I could ask regarding this so I'm hoping I may get help here. This is the first website I've made and it's causing a lot of problems. http:// www . sycwin . com / index2 . html My issue is that my website is browser compatible with everything BUT IE. My problem is getting it to look the same on IE as it currently looks now on Firefox. I understand that there are java script solutions for div stacking problems, but for some reason those are causing no effects problems: 1. subinfo not positioning over mainwrapper and is instead STACKING on top of mainwrapper on IE 2. introduction not in position to the right of carousel/slideshow on IE 3. paints and wires divs are messed up in width, padding and margin on IE here's the css: Code: body {

I hope you guys could help me figure this one out. I'm absolutely clueless. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Here is the relevant HTML code: <table> <tr> <td> <div style="float:left;"> <div class="middle"><div class="r"><div class="l"> <a id="gridtitle" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="reload()"></a> </div></div></div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <a href="#" onclick="addheader()"><img border="0" src="tab_new_header.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="addfooter()"><img border="0" srctab_new_footer.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </div> <div style="float:right;"> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:toggleLayer('newgrid');"><img border="0" src="button_add.png" alt="Add a grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="deleteGrid()"><img border="0" src="button_delete.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div id="gridbox3" class="gridbox" width="870px" height="600px" style="background-color:white;"></div> </td> </tr> </table> And the relevant CSS code [which just sets the background of the tab]: .l {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .r {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg2.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .middle {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg.png); height: 43px;} This is the output (i can't post images?) http://i34 [.] tinypic [.] com/4hpqag [.] png The first problem I am having is that the div my gridtitle (CIBC) is in does not set its width automatically to the text width. Instaed, it spans the whole table ... Position-wise, I would like the tab with "CIBC" to be to the far left, the header and footer tabs to be right of "CIBC" but still floating left, and the + and x signs to be floating right, all on the same line. Help? Thanks in advance. Hi, all. I'm brand new to CSS and have run into my first speedbump. I've tried searching the forum already, forgive me if I missed a previously posted solution. Today I put together a page at work and it looked correct in IE8 (which is the only browser we can use at work). When I got home, I discovered that it doesn't display properly in ANY other browser. I've validated my code, and just can't figure out what the problem is. (I tried to link to images here of what it should look like versus what it actually looks like, but apparently as a new user I'm not permitted to post URLs. I also don't seem to be able to insert images into this post, so if anyone would like to see the images, I guess I could email them to you.) Can anyone tell me why the DIVs appear to be too long? Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the HTML: <HTML> <HEAD> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="comp.css" /> </HEAD> <BODY> <div id="parent"> <div id="left_top"> </div> <div class="bigcontainer" id="right_top"> a very<br>special<br>place<br>on the<br>internet </div> <div class="container" id="left_mid"> additional reading </div> <div class="container" id="right_mid"> tab one | tab two | tab three | tab four | tab five </div> <div class="container" id="left_bottom"> first link<br> second link<br> third link<br> fourth link<br> fifth link<br> sixth link<br> seventh link<br> eighth link<br> </div> <div id="right_bottom"> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... </p> </div> </div> </BODY> </HTML> Here is the CSS: body { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #e5e5e5; } div.bigcontainer { font-size: 20px; font-weight: bolder; vertical-align: middle; padding: 20px 20px 0px 0px; text-align: right; } div.container { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; vertical-align: middle; padding: 10px 20px 5px 0px; text-align: right; } #parent { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position:relative; } #left_top { width: 35%; height: 190px; background-color: #7d7d7d; float: left } #right_top { width: 65%; height: 190px; color: #ffcc00; background-color: #666666; float: right; } #left_mid { width: 35%; height: 35px; color: #ffff99; background-color: #ffd426; float: left; } #right_mid { width: 65%; height: 35px; color: #666666; background-color: #ffcc00; float: right; } #left_bottom { width: 35%; height: 100%; padding: 20px; color: #999999; text-align: right; background-color: #e5e5e5; float: left; } #right_bottom { width: 65%; padding: 20px; color: #666666; text-align: right; background-color: #ffffff; float: right; } Alright guys. I'm working on a horizontally scrolling news ticker type deal. I have two divs on screen, and the rest are off screen using the overflow:hidden on the parent. The divs are set to 466px wide, float:left, and the parent is 932px wide. Since div 3 and up are all 466px, they drop down below the other two. Not a problem, since the overflow is set. However the jquery animation does not reset the reference point when it scrolls, so the divs stay in this arrangement. Is there any way to keep them all lined up next to eachother horizontally? I'm wondering if there is a CSS solution first, before I get creative with the jQuery. I could easily set it for the next two divs to display right, but there is no telling how many divs there will be and it would quickly become a nightmare trying to account for all possibilities. Here is the current CSS I'm using: Code: #test {background-color:#F1F2F2; width:932px; padding:10px; margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden; display:inline-block; height:400px;} #newswrapper {height:100px; position:relative; left:0px;} #newswrapper div {float:left; position:relative; background:#CCC; width:466px; height:400px;}
Hi folks, I hope this is achieveable ... I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... I'm working on a site which has a header and footer div, and in the main section in between, it has a narrow left div and main content to the right. I've got the overall width centered at 90%, and I want the left div to be 250px wide, and then the right main content div to be the remaining width of the 90%. I also want to make sure it doesn't resize below about 600px when the screen is resized. Am I better off setting a fixed width of the overall width instead of a percentage? That way I can make the page about 800px wide, left pane 250px, and main content 550px? Any other thoughts? Thanks. I've been having some issues getting a design for a site I'm co-authoring to display correctly using CSS. I know that what I'm trying to do should be possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out and am getting pretty damn frustrated with the whole thing. I could probably do it with tables, and right now I have it set up with some javascript that I threw together, but css+divs would be the ideal solution. Anyways, this is basically what I want to try and do (that's the javascript version). Just resize the window a bit to see what i'm getting at.

Basically I need a way to have 2 elements next to eachother, 1 of which is an arbitrary size and the other be wide enough to fill the rest of the containing block. Any help would be much appreciated. EDIT: Here's a link to the actual working design, maybe that'll help in understanding my question (don't open it in IE unless you want a facefull of ugly). If I make a wrap, and put other elements in the wrap, and say I want those elements to be x% wide, am I saying x% wide of the window or the wrap? Hi i've got a question... i have a text area block. When i assign a height of 200% to the block it doesnt seem to do anything, but when i assign a height in pixel eg 200px, it works? So I have read a bunch of different results from my google searches and none seem to do what I would like. I'm beginning to think that there isn't really a solution at this point in time. Here is my setup: Code: <div id='container'>
<div id='header'></div>
<div id='menuBar'></div>
<div id='main'>
<div id='content'></div>
</div>
<div id='footer'></div>
</div>
'header', 'menuBar', and 'footer' are all fixed height. 'main' MAY have a sub-menu div. When it does have this sub-menu, I would like for that sub-menu to be full height and 20% wide. Otherwise, I would like for 'content' to be as wide as possible. Currently I'm floating the sub-menu left and as a result the text in 'content' wraps around it after the bottom. In case my description makes no sense... Default Behavior: Current Behavior: Desired Behavior: It's so pretty and colorful I *could* create a second template for pages with a sub-menu, but I would prefer not to have to resort to that. Hi, I'm trying to do a two column layout which spans across the whole screen. This would be easy if I was just using percentages because I could just go: Left: width:20%; Right: width:80%; But I need the left bar to be a fixed width and the right bar to span the rest of the screen. There might be something really simple here that I'm overlooking but at the minute I can't think of how I would do it... Joe Hi, First off, I've tried a quick search to see if anyone else has posted this problem, but didn't come up with anything. So, if I am repeating, apologies :-) Anyway, I've got a problem that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. It's probably quite simple, but my CSS is a bit hit and miss ;-) Anyway, firstly, here's the CSS: Code:

And the HTML: Code: <body> <div id="header"> <div id="logo"> <h1><a href="#">Company Logo Image</h1> <h2></a></h2> </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li ><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">News</a></li> <li><a href="#">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="#">Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="splash">This is the page heading montage image</div> </div> </div> </body> The problem is, I need the splash div to resize depending on the width of the screen. The idea being a cheat so depending on different resolutions, the different the size of the div and with a background-image set, the image will appear to expand/contract depending on the width of the screen. It's gonna be a repeating montage image. If the window is over, say, 80% wide, then it works fine. Thing is, if you shrink the width of the window past about 80%, then the div starts to go off the right hand side of the screen... Hopefully I've made myself reasonably clear? Any ideas? Thanks! Sorry if this is a common problem. I tried a search but didn't find anything that seemed helpful. I've got "frame" (not a <frame>) around the content of my site and I need this frame to expand vertically if necessary, according to the content. I've done this by having a 1px high image, set to 100% height and an exact pixel width. The frame is a table, three cells wide, with the side images in the two outermost cells and the content in the central cell. It's the side images that cause a problem. What I've got works fine in Firefox but in IE6, the sides of the frame don't display, or the image displays but doesn't stretch (I can't tell 'cos the images are only 1px high). Here's the basic table layout: Code: <table id="frameTable" border="0"> <tr> <td> <img id="FrameLeftImg" src="resource/frameleft.png" /> </td> <td> <?php /*Add constructed page data*/ ?></td> <td> <img id="FrameRightImg" src="resource/frameright.png"/> </td> </tr> </table> And here's the CSS for the side images: Code:
#FrameLeftImg {
position: relative;
width: 26px;
height:100%;
}
#FrameRightImg {
position: relative;
width: 28px;
height:100%;
}
The table is contained in a div that is absolutely positioned by pixels but has no value specified for width and height. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I have a left div which is fixed let is say 400px and the right div should extend to the edge of the screen. How can i get it to extend. If i don't give any width to the right div: The right div has other dives which has got dotted bottom border, these dotted border will not extend to the end any ideas? cheers IE seems to have a lot of trouble with percentage based heights. In certain circumstances they seem to be okay, other times they seem be completely ignored. Pixel based DIV heights seem to work, but I don't know if it is just the circumstance or what not. Does anyone know what the actual "rules" are about this as it applies to IE? |
