CSS - Need A Div To Dynamically Expand
I'm trying to get the footer to dynamically expand with the content in the box 1, 2, 3. How can i do this?
The HTML Code: <div id="footer"> <div id="box1">Content</div> <div id="box2">Content</div> <div id="box3">Content</div> </div> The CSS Code: #footer { min-height:150px height:auto; } #box1 { float:left; min-height:150px height:auto; } #box2 { float:left; min-height:150px height:auto; } #box3 { float:left; min-height:150px height:auto; } Similar TutorialsGod, this is really simple but I have forgotten how to get the containing box to expand Basically the text div expands but the containing div doesn't PHP Code: <div style="width: 300px; min-height: 200px; border: 1px dashed red;"> <div style="border: 0; width: 110px; height: 110px; float: left;"> <img src="#" width="100" height="80" border="0" align="left" /> </div> <div style="border: 0; width: 190px; min-height: 200px; float: right;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I have a page that uses CSS to handle layout. I also use a combination of CSS and javascript to create an expandable menu. I have a simplified version of this page he http://www.stringersites.com/csstest/index.htm Users of Dreamweaver will recognize this as being based on the HaloNavLeft template. As you can see, the page displays fine until you start expanding the menu items contained in <div id="mainMenu">. If you expand enough, the mainMenu box extends beyond the borders of the <div id="pagecell1"> in which it's contained. My primary question to the group is how to get the pagecell div to autoexpand along with the mainMenu div. My secondary question is how to stretch a vertical column to the height of the containing div. Specifically, this is <div class="relatedLinks">, which is contained in pageNav, which, in turn, is contained in pagecell1. The relevant pieces of CSS are included below, but you can link to the entire CSS sheet from the test doc above. Thanks in advance for the help. -Steve Stringer Code: #pagecell1{ position:absolute; top: 112px; left: 2%; right: 2%; width:95.6%; background-color: #ffffff; } #mainMenu { background-color: #EEE; border: 1px solid #CCC; color: #000; width: 350px; position: absolute; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 20px; } #pageNav{ float: left; width:178px; padding: 0px; background-color: #F5f7f7; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; font: small Verdana,sans-serif; } .relatedLinks{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } Hey all, the test page is here. Notice when you expand the "view more details" in IE8 to the point where it is supposed to push the page down, it doesn't! But it does in FF/Safari. HTML CSS Potentially relevant CSS: Code: body { margin: 0; padding: 0; min-height:0; } div.container { width:100px; } div.outerBody { width:100%; min-height:0; } div.innerBody { width:100%; background-image:url("../../images/artist_center/body_bg.jpg"); background-repeat:repeat-x; min-height:0px; height:auto !important; background-color:#cedce5; text-align:center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } div.tabContent { width:945px; min-height:596px; border:solid 1px #cccccc; float:left; position:relative; margin-left:14px; padding-bottom:14px; margin-bottom:14px; } I'm using clearfix to make things work in IE7, but clearly there's some kind of other problem going on. Thanks for any help! Hey guys. I've gotten awesome help here before, so I decided to come back. Here is the web page I am trying to change (note-far from done. Don't laugh too hard): http://metroairvirtual.org/pilot_profile.php?pilot=1645 If you scroll down to "My Career History," you'll notice that (for example, the very first row of the table), it says "Email address updated from," and doesn't continue with the rest of the statement (gets cut off). I want to make it so I can scroll horizontally to view the whole statement by scrolling. I was successful by using the white-space: nowrap and then overflow-x: scroll. While that allowed me to do what I wanted, the actual DIV doesn't continue with the content, as shown in the shots below. Do you guys have any idea on how I can make the div style fill the scroll space? I can't really do a fixed width because history content varies from member to member and it is shorter/longer than others. Thanks for any help you can offer! If you need used code below that's fine, but I assume you can just use FireBug to inspect it. Thanks again! Hi, what I'm trying to do is get two divs next to each other. That much I can do if I give them both a style of 'float:left;', but the problem with that is that they will overflow out of the div that they both sit in. Is there anyway to get two divs to sit next to each other, but to also expand the parent div if necessary? Thanks! I have some tables that contain a lot of columns, so the table goes beyond the users viewport. I would like the body of the page to expand to the table, anyone know of a way to get the body to expand horizontally. Below is some code, I would like the red outline to expand to the black. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body style="border:1px solid red;"> <table style="border:1px solid green;width:2500px;"> <tr> <td style="">slkfdj</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> I have an absolutely position <div> with some content positioned within it. I do not always know the size of the inner content so my problem is getting the outer div to expand to the height of the inner div. Is there a solution for this with absolutely positioned items that wil work in IE/Firefox/Safari? I'm attaching a simple html file which mimics what i am trying to accomplish and the code is below: Code: <div id="detailBlock" style="position: absolute; width: 250px; height: 35px; z-index: 3; border: 1px solid #000; overflow: visible; background-color: #fff5d9; font-size: 8pt; top: 50px; left: 100px;"> <div id="closeBlock" style="position: absolute; width: 40px; height: 8px; left: 210px; top: 3px; font-size: 7pt;"><a href="javascript: closeDetail();">CLOSE</a></div> <div id="detailContent" style="position: relative; width: 240px; top: 15px; left: 5px; border: 1px solid #F00;">Content whose size i do not know...So if I write anything substantial in here it will go over the edge</div> Thanks in advance for your help. Hey guys, I have been working on this for weeks and it is driving me nuts. I am trying to get the wrapper to expand to accomodate the content, but for some reason it wont expand. Any ideas? Here is the link: h$$p://digitallife.us/tutorials-t.html Thanks, Daniel 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 I've been searching for a few days, but I haven't found a solution to my problem. How do I get my parent DIV to expand to contain all of my content beyond the viewport?

Thanks, Brent I have a div that has a table inside of it. Even though the table expands with content added, the div does not. It's important to me that the div extend with the table because this div in question has a background shadow border for the table. Here is the CSS: Code: #right { float: right; width: 80%; height: 100%; } #rt_brdr { height: 100%; width: 100%; padding-bottom:5px; padding-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; vertical-align: bottom; background: url(img/r_brdr.gif) repeat-y right; } My HTML: Code: <div id="right"> <div id="rt_brdr"> <table border="0" align="left" width="100%" style="height: 93%; margin-top: 2px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="top" style="background: url(img/w_tl.jpg) no-repeat top left #FFFFFF;"></td> <td class="white_fill"></td> <td class="top" style="background: url(img/w_tr.jpg) no-repeat top right #FFFFFF;"></td> </tr> <tr class="white_fill"> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bottom" style="background: url(img/w_bl.jpg) no-repeat bottom left #FFFFFF;"></td> <td class="white_fill"></td> <td class="bottom" style="background: url(img/w_br.jpg) no-repeat bottom right #FFFFFF;"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> I have attached a screenshot. Note that I took the content out of the table in the post so that the code doesn't extend forever. I have put a black border around the right border to make it stand out in the screenshot. hi... if you look here - http://www.outlawz.frihost.net/fula/test2.php you can see i have written to much text... here is my code Quote: <?php require("header.php"); ?> <div id="content"> <br><br> <b>Welcome to Kadafi Legacy.</b><br><br> <img src="image/yaki1.jpg" alt="Yaki Kadafi" align="left"> Here at Kadafi Legacy we aim to bring you the latest and most in depth information on Yaki Kadafi, such information will include the family and friends of Yaki Kadafi, Kadafi's childhood years, the records Kadafi featured upon and all this and much more can be found in our <a href="/history.php" alt="Yaki Kadafi History">Kadafi history</a> section.<br><br> The latest news and information regarding projects from the official Kadafi site - <a href="http://www.yakikadafi.com" target="_blank" alt="YakiKadafi.com">YakiKadafi.com</a>, will also be reported and updated daily in our <a href="/news.php" alt="Yaki Kadafi News">Kadafi News</a> section.<br><br> Also available on Kadafi Legacy is the <a href="/music.php" alt="Yaki Kadafi Music">music</a> section, you will find information, images and lyrics about previous releases such as 'Son Rize: Volume 1'.<br><br> In our <a href="/links.php" alt="Yaki Kadafi Links">links</a> section you will be able to find direct links to official sites that are related to Yaki Kadafi in one way or another also in our links section is a 'support the real' area of links which will link to sites we support, i.e - Sekou Odinga, Assata Shakur.<br><br> Our ultimate goal is to honour Yaki Kadafi, his family and his music in the correct way, this means there will be no illegal downloads available on this site and nothing will be used without permission from Yaasmyn Fula.<br><br> Last and not least, Kadafi Legacy would like to thank the following people -<br><br> Yaasmyn Fula<br> Cory Caudill<br><br> content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content </div> <br> <div id="foot">Graphics & Design by "NO NAMED DESIGNS" - Copyright 2006 "KLSOON2BE"</div> </body> </html> and heres the css - Quote: a:link {color:white} a:visited {color:white} a:hover {color:black} a:active {color:white} body {background-color: #666666} #head img { display: block; } #head{ position: relative; top: 7px; left: 140px; width: 707px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; color:white; background-color: #666666; background-image: url(wavy.jpg); } #box1{ position: relative; top: 7px; left: 140px; width: 345px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; color:white; background-color: #666666; background-image: url(wavy.jpg); } #content { position: relative; top: 7px; left: 140px; width: 697px; height: 500px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; color:white; text-aligh: justify; background-color: #666666; background-image: url(image/back.jpg); padding: 5px; } #foot{ position: relative; left: 140px; width: 707px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9px; text-align: center; color:white; background-color: 666666; background-image: url(wavy.jpg); } on the page the text goes out side the blue box.. how do i make it so the when it does that the blue box stretches down... thanks! also it works in IE but not in FIREFOX! Hello, i'm trying to make a tableless image gallery, each image is inside <span></span> (i don't know the dimensions of the image, it's resized by server side) while the div container expands fine, the span container does not expand to fit the image, and i also don't know how to vertically center it. i can't use <div> because images can be in the same row. Code: body { margin:0px padding:10px; background-color: #ffffff } body, div,span { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: #000000 } a { color:#000099 } a:hover { color:#0000ff } div.paging { padding:10px; border:1px solid red; } div.paging span { padding-left:10px; border:1px solid red } div.gallery { padding:10px; border:1px solid red } div.gallery span { margin:20px; border:1px solid green; } div.gallery img { border:1px solid black } this is the result http://addf.net/tests/m_g/gallery.php is float the only option? must i float every element on the page? what if it's a module for another not floated website? i'd rather not use float or a table. if you could help thank you So probably my topic title explains my problem pretty clearly, but basically I've got this div and I'd like it to expand downward as I fill a div contained within with content. Can anyone explain how I can do this? I tried placing a fairly tall picture in my inner div and right now it extends past the bottom of the outer div and looks really weird. Actually if there was even just a way I could tell the outer div exactly how tall the inner div is, that would also be fine, but I can't find a way to do this. I've tried the height: 253px; tag, but it hasn't changed anything. My outer div still doesn't go as far down the page as the inner one, so I'm left with an image thats halfway sticking out my content box. Any help would be great, thanks! Pretty much what the title says. I have a parent div that I fill up up floating div's using javascript, but the parent won't grow. Only ie7 is a problem. To see the problem... Link is here... http://esteemforthehome.stealthwd.c...electedPageID=7 Add a couple products to the cart, click on "View Cart"... Filling in shipping info and click "Calculate Shipping". Its the "viewCartShippingOptions" div that doesn't expand. Thanks in advance Hi Trying to make a box (with a div and css to control it) that will fit around an image and some text. The image is 90 x 90 pixels and should have a margin of 10 pixels around it so I want my box to be a minimum of 110 pixels high - heres the catch, the text is never the same length its actually printed into the page from some php so the box needs to never go smaller than the image and its margins however if the text is of greater height than those the box needs to expand. This is what I have so far... <style> .floatimage { float: left; padding: 1px; margin-right: 10px; background-color: #CCCCCC; } .floatbox { width: 380px; padding: 10px; background-color: #ff0000; height: 112px; } </style> <div class="floatbox"> <div class="floatimage"><img alt="" src="image/icons/icon.php" /></div> <p> The float property allows other text to fit itself around a box. This is particularly useful with images, but it can be used in any way. </p> <p> I've created this example with enough text that it should wrap around the above floated paragraph. Let's keep going to see what happens. Does it really do what I think it should do? </p> </div> but when i give the box a height its fixed and when i don't it can go smaller than the image - is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance a+ gar I have nested my content divs within a centered wrapper div. the wrapper div is controlled by an external css file. when content is added to the nested divs they grow outside of the wrapper div. is there a way to force the wrapper to grow with the content like tables do? The CSS: #wrapper { margin-top: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; position: relative; width: 760px; background-color: #FFFFCC; left: auto; right: auto; height: 400px; z-index: 1; } The HTML: (attached) 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. |
