CSS - Div Width Not Expanding To Fit Width Of Child Div - Ie7
I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6.
Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Similar TutorialsI'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE.. Black Background Not Stoping!! Hi guys, I'm trying to sort out the top level menu. It's supposed to allow a hover effect, where a sub menu then appears. This secondary nav then spans across in an inline fashion. The link to the site is: http://yoursitetest.co.uk/index2.php However it seems to have some kind of 'width' set on the parent which the sub menu cannot expand past. This is some of the code i think is relevant: (Rest of nav cut due to repeating nature) Code: <ul id="navigation">

Hope someone can help, Regards, Joe. I have set my table cell #3 to 246px and have placed an image (called keyboard.jpg) with a width of 246px in it as a background image (the only cell in the table with an image), yet the table cell has expanded beyond that 246px width. I need to set the cellpadding to 5px because for legibility for all the other cells (with just text) in the table. Can I turn off the cellpadding for just this one cell #3 that has an image in it? Why does a background image in a table cell react to the table's cellpadding? Should I remove the keyboard.jpg as a background image and make it an in-table image? <em>Whatever the case, how can I make the image fit nicely without any extra space in the cell?</em> Here's my code and my stylesheet: <div id="table"> <table width="725" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="table"> <tr> <td width="1"> </td> <td class="cell1" width="130"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla</p> <p>Bla bla bla</p></td> <td class="cell2" width="124"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla</p> </td> <td class="cell3" width="246"></td> <td class="cell4" width="174"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla<br /> <br /> Bla bla bla</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tdblue"> </td> <td class="cell5"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla</p></td> <td class="cell6"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla</p></td> <td class="cell7"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla</p></td> <td class="cell8"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="cell9"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla</p></td> <td class="cell10"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla Bla bla bla.</p></td> <td class="cell11"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla </p></td> <td class="cell12" width="174"><p><strong>Yada</strong></p> <p>Bla bla bla Bla bla bla Bla bla bla </p></td> </tr> </table> Here's my stylesheet: table { width: 760px; margin: auto; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 150%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; letter-spacing: .5px; } table td { vertical-align: top; } td.cell1 { background: white; padding: 5; width: 130px; } td.cell2 { background: #F7F4EE; padding: 5; width: 124px; } td.cell3 { background: #ffffff; background-image: url(../images/keyboard.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; spacing: 0; padding: 0; width: 246px; } td.cell4 { background: #F7F4EE; padding: 5; width: 174px; } td.cell5 { background: #DFE5F0; padding: 5; width: 130px; } td.cell6 { background: white; padding: 5; width: 124px; } td.cell7 { background: #DFE5F0; padding: 5; width: 246px; } td.cell8 { background: white; padding: 5; width: 174px; } td.cell9 { background: white; padding: 5; width: 130px; } td.cell10 { background: #F7F4EE; padding: 5; width: 124px; } td.cell11 { background: white; padding: 5; width: 246px; } td.cell12 { background: #F7F4EE; padding: 5; width: 174px; } .tdblue { background: #DFE5F0; } .tdtan { background: #F7F4EE; } I have a page whose outer-most container has a fixed width. On some pages, there is a table whose width I cannot set to be fixed because its contents (more specifically the number of <td>s) are dynamic.

I'm not saying my code is correct and that the browsers are not displaying it properly. I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what. Any suggestions? Well, this would be the first time I actually am starting to use full DIVs to code a website, usually use tables. Anyways, I have most bugs fixed out since I do somewhat know how to code in DIVs - the question is though, on one of the "right" side content area things I have, the content part extending right over the DIV, and even the container. I also gave both with fixed widths, no idea why this is happening. Anyone have any ideas? http://www.futuregamers.net http://www.futuregamers.net/style.css Dear all, IE problems trying to get a large amount of content to sit in a smaller div with overflow set to auto. In FF it works perfectly, but in IE the outer div ignores the width value I have set and instead expands to the width of the content. My code: Code: <div id="calendarWrapper" style="width:800px;height:600px;overflow:scroll;"> <div style="width:4000px;height:1000px;overflow:auto;background-image:url(img/calendarBackground.gif);position:relative"> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:76px;left:150px;width:1000px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:151px;left:300px;width:750px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:1px;left:75px;width:100px;height:74px;">Test</div> </div> </div> I found a couple more threads similar to this but none with a solution. any help most appreciated. Mark I'm having a serious brain fart here...I must have come across this issue a million times before but I guess I haven't thought about it for so long, that I'm at a loss.... Very simply, I want to have a horizontal menu using text (ie not images) that will fill to fit the width of the page. Now I'd want to make there be a min-width and I can do that, but there's got to be a way to have the padding between the items adjust depending on how wide the browser is, right? And I should be able to do this with CSS and not have to use tables right? In other words, the width of the individual menu items will remain the same, but in a browser that's say 800px wide the space between the first item will be very near the left side of the page, and the last item will be very near the right side of the page and the items will be spaced evenly between them. But if the page is 1200px wide, the first and last items will still be very left and very right, but the spacing in between the rest of them will be bigger so that it fills the page width. ?????????/ Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... 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.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {

I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... I have a header div with a background image - it's basically a pair of hands holding a banner - the arms extending to the sides of the window. I'm trying to work it so that, no matter how wide or thin the window, the arms will always extend to the sides. So when you make it smaller, the image will disappear beyond the viewing window. This happens automatically on the right-hand side, but the image is stopping it on the left. Is there a way to set a min-width, which is smaller then the image itself, so that when the window is shrunk the image starts to disappear on either side until it reaches the min-width? I'm trying to get it so the arms will disappear and stop at the hands. Or can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I tried to do it with background and header image, with the arms on the background, so when the top image moves it looks like the arms move with it. That worked great until I started using a patterned background. Full width: |---------------------------------------| |AAAAAAAAHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHAAAAAAAAA| |---------------------------------------| Shrunk width: ------- |------------------------| -------- AAAAAAA |AHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHA| AAAAAAAA ------- |------------------------| -------- Grey bit outside window edge. | Window side A Arms H Hands B Banner I hope that makes sense. I expect there's an easy solution but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and could do with someone else's perspective. Thanks. Code: <tr class='firstrow'> <th width=10%><strong>Rank</strong></th> <th width=40%><strong>Site</strong></th> <th width=25%><strong>In</strong></th> <th width=25%><strong>Out</strong></th> </tr> that makes it exactly the way i want, but when i switch to Code: <tr class='firstrow'> <th style='width=10%'><strong>Rank</strong></th> <th style='width=40%'><strong>Site</strong></th> <th style='width=25%'><strong>In</strong></th> <th style='width=25%'><strong>Out</strong></th> </tr> it is sized naturally. I'm writing a modification for a bulletin board. One of the beta testers had a problem with their template... My modification uses a left & right float, with a clearing div at the bottom with a copy right. I know the problem, but my question is, why is it a problem: width="75%" will sometimes, in certain templates, make the right floating table drop down beneath the left floating menu, and it's width is 100%. When I change it to inline styling, style="width: 75%;", it works as it should. I'd really like to know why it's doing this, because I've never ran into this before. Here's a slimmed version of the HTML/CSS: Code: <div id="st0re_wrapper" style="float: left; width: 24%; clear: both;"> <table class="borderwrap iptable" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="" class="maintitle"><p>Your Menu</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-left: 5px;" valign="middle"> <div style="margin-left: 5px;"> Sample menu item. </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table class="borderwrap iptable" style="float: right;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" width="75%"> <tr> <td colspan="" class="maintitle"><p>Sample</p></td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td valign="top" width="100%"> Sample content. </td> </tr> </table> The used CSS classes a Code:

st0re_wrapper is just an unused id, besides the inline styling. Internet Explorer always presents me with a challenge (partial repost). The current issue involves emulating max-width in IE using the technique described by Svend Tofte. http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/ The CSS code uses JavaScript expressions and feeds the browser's width to the style. The CSS code follows. * html #Content { height: 1%; width:expression( document.body.clientWidth > (500/12) * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)? "30em": "auto" ); } This implementation resizes and displays the fluid width in IE. But it does not emulate the max-width property. Basically, I need help fixing the max-width implementation on #Content. Since max-width remains a challenge in IE, the min-width remains a greater mystery. Min-width would be nice as well. The page is complex with several wrappers for other IE display issues and JavaScript functionality. Presently, these workarounds and hacks have my head spinning. The page has an overall wrapper #Container. #Content div has the max-width expression. It encases #div.bgWh, so the page could have true transparent round corners. One issue relates to how div.bgWh expands beyond #Content when the client's browser width approaches 260 pixels. These containers serve a purpose; but IE does not deal with their width in a predictable manner. Fortunately, Firefox does not have these issues. These scenarios leave me scratching my head more often than not. Overflow hidden property has worked for me in the past, but did not provide the magic bullet this time around. Please load the page and shrink you browser to around 260 pixels. Keep your eye on the round corners around the main content area. The container, div.bgWh, expands beyond #Content. Please let me know if you see any relevant patterns and if you have any useful suggestions on implementing max-width. Somebody may suggest better approaches to the IE max-width conundrum. http://neville.f2o.org/nifty_TEMP1.html Styles in Question #Content div.bgWh #Container |
