CSS - Scrollable Div Without Fixed Height?
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? 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 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! 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. Please look at http://www.mailhorde.com/scripts.php and http://www.mailhorde.com/ You will see what i mean. THe navigation bar is being stretched down. I have the top image in a table cell of its own. Is there any CSS that will stop this from happening? Thanks, Andrew Hello! I'm working on a website right now and have sort of dived in further than I understand conditional CSS. The website is he www.kekoz.com I have that little menu in the upper right and the info in the lower right. I like those being fixed so when the user scrolls they are always up there. But I can't figure out how to make them stop from colliding with the main pictures when you change the height of the page. Any help would be grand! Right now they're position super simple: Code: #links{ position:fixed; top: 20px; right:20px; width:300px; }
Code: #info_box{ position:fixed; bottom: 25px; right:10px; width:550px; }
I tried to set a minimum height on them, but I think that would have to do with some sort of a container around them. Or maybe I'm just going about it all wrong. Also a couple other things I'm sort of thinking. I would like the "Scroll this way" thing to always be centered between the lower edge of the pictures and the bottom of the window. Not %100 sure how to get that set up. And the last thing I'm thinking for this page, which I'm not sure is all CSS would be to have the "scroll this way" thing actually fade based on the scroll position. I think this might be Jquery but thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone had any advice. I saw an idea that I liked a whole lot for displaying pictures and that kind of thing. I didn't want to really hank the guys code, but tried to make my own version of it. The problem I have is yet again with Internet Explorer doing really stupid things with the pics I drop in my div's. It keeps adding a padding to it and it's beginning to aggravate me. Here is the code I had: body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #4F6A84; text-align: center; } #super_container { position: absolute; top: 70px; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 438px; background: #424242; padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; } #super_container { height: 438px; } #sub_container { width:775px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; width: 765px; /*border-right: 1px solid #7D1E2C; border-left: 1px solid #7D1E2C;*/ height: 438px; background: transparent; margin: 0 auto; } #sub_container { width: 765px;} #right{ float: right; width: 150px; height: 438px; background: #c5c5c5; } #left { float: left; width: 400px; height: 438px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: blue; overflow:visisble; background-image:url(new_test/test1.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; } #left img { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 5px solid #fff;} #center { margin-left: 401px; margin-right:151px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; border-top:1px solid green; } and the html <body> <div id="super_container"><!--start of super container--> <div id="sub_container"><!--start sub_container--> <div id="right"> </div> <div id="left"> </div> <div id="center"> test </div> </div><!--end sub_container--> </div><!---end of super conatiner--> </body> the problem becomes evident when I put an image in the htnl of the left element. It either looks likeit rises just above the top of the super-container, or it is flush with the top and leaves a margin underneath it. As always, any help or design/tips as to what I am doing wrong would be great. I am just experimenting with new things, trying to see what I can or cannot do. The idea would be to have a home page with picture and right column with info. Then on the sub-pages have nav and subnav on the middle and right columns and pics on the left. Just a dry run, trying to see where i am. Thanks for the help in advance! jon Hi... Not sure how to title this message, but here's the problem: I've got a site that has three columns of variable length text. Each column must have a 2px left border. No problem so far. Under each column of text, I must align a block of links. These blocks must align along the top link. The borders must continue from the top of the text to the bottom of the links. Does this make sense? The problem I have is the border is only solid on the column with the longest amount of text and breaks on the shorter ones. I can get this to work by setting a fixed height for the text, but that doesn't seem like a great solution as it would have to be changed as the text length changes. my CSS: Code: .box {border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; width: 254px; float: left; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;}
.txt {font: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;}
.linkscontainer {width: 853px; clear: both;}
.linkbox1 {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}

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.

It renders fine in IE, FF, and Opera. Since the height of the content varies, I am trying to accomplish a minimal fixed height of 700px OR larger if the content is longer than 700 px. Any ideas? Hi! My first post I got a problem with my sticky footer as you can see the footer is fine, fixed to the bottom of the page but I got an unnecessary scroll The site: www dot flyttamig dot com think the problem is that i put 100% height on html html, body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; } Can you guys help me get rid of this scroll Thanks Hi, I have been puzzle for a while now working out how to do this. I have two fixed height divs which I want to appear on the same line (inline). However to maintain the fixed height they cannot be set as display: inline; (Well that works in IE but not in Firefox). Anyway I find out that setting one div to float left and the other to float right with another div with clear:both works fine. However when it comes to setting the position of the flash elements I want in each div element it works now in Firefox but not in IE. I currently have: <div id="diva"> <object id="face1" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face1" value="face1.swf"> <embed src="face1.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="divb"> <object id="face2" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face2" value="face2.swf"> <embed src="face2.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="clear"></div> With the relavent css: #div1 { background-image : url(images/bg1.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: left; text-align : center; vertical-align : bottom; } #div2 { background-image : url(images/bg2.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: right; text-align: center; vertical-align : bottom; } #clear { clear: both; } img { border: 0px; } #face1{ padding-top: 220px; left: 30px; } #face2{ position: relative; top: 220px; left: 10px; } Effectively what I want is: Where the divs are on the same line and are fixed height (as they have a background) and then each swf element releatively positioned inside the div...which will work in Firefox and IE! Thank you for your time. I'd like to make a 2-column layout where each column fills the height of the container div, and the container div's height is determined by the longest div within it... this is getting a bit confusing, because I can't have one being determined by the other one with that one being determined by the first, if that makes sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks 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. 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 Hi! Is it possible to align vertically block elements in a fixed-height (unknown) container? If not, this is a serious shortcoming of the css model of placing objects on the screen. Thanks!

The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... How can I fix a Div a set distance below another Div without a set height? 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> I need two scrollable div inside a table. Please help. Details: The div contains a table that should force it to show the scrollbars. This table inside the div has specific width(1180px). The div on the other hand should have its width set to 100%. As to why i'm using a table for the layout, i'm using a masterpage that uses table. Attempt #1 i set the div width to 1180px. This showed the scrollbar. But i don't want the users to be stuck to this if they have bigger resolution. Attempt #2 i added position: absolute; --> there are scrollbars but the 2 divs are overlapping HTML: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container
{
border: 2px solid red;
overflow: scroll;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width=100%>
<tr>

<div class=container>
<table border style="width: 1800px;">

I'm creating an area that will have code snippets in it, I want it to scroll horizontally (wrapping may make the code inaccurate in some languages), but vertically I want the height of the area to grow dynamically. An example can be seen on this page: http://scratchprojects.com/2006/02/sample_article_tic_tac_toe_p02.php The problem is, in IE, if there is a horizontal scroll bar, it doesn't make quite enough room, so you have to scroll vertically as well. Shrink your browser window so the code snippet at the bottom of the page doesn't fit and you'll see the two scrollbars appear. In Firefox and Opera, just the horizontal scrollbar shows up. Here's the basics of the code: Code: <div class="code">
<pre class="codeblock">Private Sub menuAboutTTT_Click(ByVal sender _
As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles menuAboutTTT.Click
MessageBox.Show("Tic-Tac-Toe v1.0" & vbCrLf & _
"See how this and other programs work at" & _
vbCrLf & "http://www.scratchprojects.com")
End Sub ' menuAboutTTT_Click</pre>
</div>
Here's the style sheet: Code: .code {
text-align: center;
margin: 15px;
}
.codeblock {
text-align: left;
background: #fff;
border: 1px;
border-style: inset;
width: 99%;
height: auto;
overflow: auto;
}
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
