CSS - Absolute Positioning Without Height On Container
Hi,
I have two images which are on top of each other, and the one on top is hidden. I use JS to change the source of the top to a new image, then fade the top image visible, then change the source of the bottom to be the same as the top, then make the top hidden (and so on and so on). To position the images on top of each other, I am using position: absolute. This works well when the DIV container has a defined height, however, when not the DIV collapses upon itself and the images are not displayed. Any suggestions how I might overcome this? Thanks Code:

Is there any way to position the nested div relative to its grandparent vs. its parent without losing the relative positioning, or is JS the only option? Hey guys, I have a web layout with 1 centre column with a height of 100% (i.e. it fills the whole window from top to bottom). I have achieved this using height: 100% and its worked so far but I've just hit a problem. When the content is less than the height of the browser window it is fine - the white extends to the bottom perfectly in both FF and IE. However, if the content extends over the height of the window, the white background stops. So the CSS is making the column the height of the window without taking into consideration the content that is inside it so that when you scroll down, the background dissappears. Any help would be appreciated.

but for some reason i cant seem to get the container to fill the complete height of the page and i cant seem to locate what error i have made. If somebody could please help, as i would like this to work in all browsers. Thanks in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have posted what I'm working on at http://www.scopicdesigns.com/ZoneAll/NewIndex.htm I have put a yellow background on the main nav container to illustrate my problem. There seems to be extra height to the .NavContainer in IE6, but it is not there in IE7 or FF. I've tried adjusting all my margins and paddings, but nothing seems to work. I also tried increasing the width of the .NavContainer, thinking that there was some sort of overflow from the last button or something, but that didn't work either. How do I get rid of this? Thanks, Brad Hi guys, I have a small problem which is driving me crazy. I have a main container with two containers inside named left and right. I want a border on the main container, but i do not know the height of the main container as this will depend on the content in 'left' and 'right'. So what should I set the height of the main container to? I've tried 100% but this does not work and if I omit the geight property the main container does not show up. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Rob. Hi, Hopefully someone here will have experienced this issue before..what I have done is create a div to contain all of the layout elements I want on my page. I started inserting a few of these and I noticed the container div doesn't stretch unless I specify a height which I wanted to avoid should I create an pages that have a limited amount of content and don't fill the page. Here is what I have so far here and this is what I want to achieve here As you can see I have specified a height value in the sceond example, is there an alternative way of doing this? Also is the best way to position the footer at the bottom of the container like so Code: position:absolute; bottom:0px; Thanks for any help guys. p.s. Here are my stylesheets so far Stylesheet 1 Code:
/* CSS Document */
body {
background:#CCC url(images/Bg.gif) repeat top left;
text-align:center;

Hi, I have 3 div boxes in a container, they sit side by side (i.e. 3 in a row) with different amounts of text in each div. The dilemma is that I need all the div's to be the same height as the tallest div. can someone tell me how to do this? thanks Hi I have searched on this subject, and found the Faux Column articles, but I have failed to make use of these. The following page shows the problem LINK And CSS The text in the container div leads off the bottom of the page. The CSS is a bit of a mess at the moment because I have been messing with it trying to get this to work. I need the background of the container div to extend to the bottom of the content div. I have set min-height and heights for the body and html tags, and then for the container, as I know that the height is only taken into account if the parent has a height too. This does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks Jake Hi, I'm trying to position an image in the bottom right of a containing block, but the only way I can get to align perfect all the time, is by using "background-image: url('image.jpg')" attribute. This would be perfect, except I need the image to be a hyperlink. I have a test page up here and the css is here. That's how I want it to look, but can't get the "check me out" image to display in that spot without using the background property. I've tried using a class attribute in an img tag and setting up the css with a position relative, tried removing the p tags, various floats and positions, and a bunch of other things. No matter what I try, the image won't stay in that one spot. Any ideas? Ok, I have three problems with this test page. 1. How do I force the logo to be always to the extreme left (just over left container) whilst ensuring the menu options stay on the right side? 2. How do I force the menu options to vertically align to the bottom? (So that their baseline matches the baseline of the logo) 3. In FF the right side image is correctly displayed in the right-side container, but in IE the images somehow ends up directly below the left side image! Any idea where I'm going completely wrong? If anyone has sometime to have a look here a a link containing the test page content in a zipped file...zipped test page For reference, I'm testing this with the following browsers... IE 6.0 FF 2.0 Thank you in advance. PS. I can create a page with this (and more complex) layout easily using the html "table" tag (it's what I've been doing for at least a few years), but we don't do things like that any more so I thought I'd better get with the scene and master this div thing once and for all! Using "table" tags for layout is so last century! I have read and read through the CSS2 spec and I am unable to figure out if this is possible. Hopefully I can describe it well enough for somebody to help out. Okay, what I want to accomplish seems simple. I want a div, lets call this one "container", with a calculated height/width relative to the document (in terms of percentage). Inside this div will be another div, lets call it "header", whos width will span the length of the containing div (100%) and height is fixed, lets say 30px. Now here comes the tricky part... a third div, lets call it "content" should sit right underneath "header" and its width will also be 100% of the containing div, but the height should fill the remainder of the containing div. I can't seem to get the "content" div to fill the remainder of "container" and scroll when needed. If I specify a calculated height, the offset of the "header" div is not taken into account so "content" div does not fit properly. Thanks a ton if you can help me out. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense. Well I'm running into just a few difficulties trying to enclose a object inside of another container. The problem is that the container does not repeat the background when I lengthen the boxes within it. Can someone with a excellent CSS eye take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've played with overflow:auto; but the problem is that I need to set the width of the container at 990px, and it doesn't seem to work if I statically set the width. http://www.obelix.ca/templates/index.html I am trying to set a height of a container div, and have the inner div spill out of the container without changing the height of the container div: Code: <style media="screen" type="text/css">
.inner{
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #0000FF;
}
.outer {
width: 120px;
height: 20px;
background-color: #FFFF00;
overflow:visible;
}
</style>
IE 6 is giving me trouble. It insists on making the container div the same height as the inner div. Anything I can do to tell IE6 to not change the height of the container? Here's the template I'm working on: http://dhost.info/justusvizslas/template.php Here's my problem: I'm trying to create a centered, two-column layout with a header and a footer, sort of like the tutorial he http://nemesis1.f2o.org/aarchive?id=7 I've got everything working correctly and it looks fine in IE. However, in FireFox, the container div doesn't automatically adjust its height to be the same as the height of the divs inside. Instead, I have to set the height at a certain number of pixils to even get the container div to show up. When I do that, in IE the container div defaults to the same height as the larger of the two inner divs, but in FireFox the container div just stays at whatever pixil height I specified. That becomes problematic because I don't plan on having all my pagecontent divs with the same height. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I've been looking at this for hours and haven't gotten it to work like it should. Here's the relevant code too: CSS Code: #container {
width:792px;
height:50px;
margin: auto auto;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url(design/menuimage.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
#navigation {
width:125px;
height:auto;
padding:0px;
float:left;
margin-top:auto;
vertical-align:top
}
#pagecontent {
width:667px;
height:auto;
padding:0px;
float:left;
margin-top:auto;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
text-align:center
}
PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="navigation"><?php include "nav.php"; ?></div> <div id="pagecontent"> <br />Some more content here<br /> </div> </div> Again, thank you in advance for any help with this. If you're stumped and think it should work as-is, go ahead and go to the actual template I'm working on (first http link in this post) and look at it in IE and in FireFox to note the difference. Hello everyone, I would like to ask for any and all help on solving this problem I am having. Well recently I used to make all of my web sites in tables until I came upon an article saying you should use CSS and absolute positioning. Therefore, my problem is this, If you go to this partially completed site, http://sykotic-designz.org/newsite/index.html. You will now notice that there are two 'shadow' images. One on the left and one on the right. The one on the left works fine. Test it by making your browser window smaller and bigger. You will notice the right shadow moves. I have tried various alternatives like using a table just for the one image but you still need to use absolute position and did not work, I have messed with displaying absolute position by % and by pixels. But it doesn't want to seem to work either. I am mainly having problems probably because I am new to the DIV tags in which I use entirely through out this page, I am not sure if CSS will help at all. You can view the source of the page if you wish. I appreciate and and all help you may provide, thanks! Hi, I was wondering if any CSS experts could give me some advice on how to position elements on a page. Right now I'm really into using absolute positioning because it just seems so easy to place things on an exact point on the screen irrespective of all other elements, but I am wondering whether that is considered bad practice, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any correspondence. Now i have used some of this on one of my designs and at 1280x1024 resolution it looks perfect however if you decrease the resolution then it move the image into a place i dont want it to be. Now is there a way around this or am i just going to have to put the "this site is best viewed at 1280x1024" sign on it? I think the best way to explain this is by example, if you go to this page: http://lifeyouwant.workinprogress.co.uk/how-we-work You will notice the drop down menu works fine in Firefox, Safari, Opera etc. However when it comes to IE7 the drop down menu is positioned too far to the right. Has anyone got any ideas how I can get this to display correctly in IE7 (like it does in Firefox). I would prefer to try not to use a hack for IE7. ANy ideas would be great! Thanks. Hi everyone, I just stated handcoding and I am having a great time. Everything seemed to be going well on my first site until I previewed it on IE. After solving the nasty png issue, I realized that the two elements that I have absolute postioned a) screw the layout up in IE6 b) don't appear all together in IE7 and IE8, but doesn't screw up the flow. The elements are an arm that is supposed to hang off the left side, and hair that sits above the contentwrap (you will understand once you look) It renders perfectly in Firefox, safari and google chrome. Go figure. I read I can't put hyperlinks because of spam, so if you don't mind helping out, please visit: w w w . goscoblog. com/test/index.html Thanks In advance |
