CSS - 4 Column With One Fluid Column And Footer
hi all, right have got a problem which has been bugging me for days now. i have 4 columns in a row (inside a wapper div)which all will have different content image, text other divs/classes etc. now one of these columns will be quite fluid as it will have different text on each page meaning it will be quite long on some pages not on others. the problem i am getting is in the good browsers firefox etc its ok in IE6+. the wapper does'nt seem to see the divs in the content meaning it does not get filled, meaning that the footer flys to the top and not where it should be, i dont have a live version but heres the code: mainly thanks Dan

I can get it to work by giving the main content a "margin-left" of the width of the navigation panel, and absolutely positioning the navigation. Problem is, with the navigation being absolutely positioned, it takes it out of the flow and doesn't push the container to fit its contents. I've trying playing with using floated divs, which is I'm sure the way I'll have to go, but I want the navigation bar to always be a fixed width of 175px, and I want the content section to stretch to fill the remaining space. I'd also like to make sure the content portion appears BEFORE the navigation panel in the order it appears on the HTML for SEO purposes. I'm sure it's easy using Javascript, but I'd like to do a pure CSS solution, if possible. How do I do that? Here is the link if you want to have a look: http://www.chcs-ut.com/support.php?section=technical I'm trying to construct a complex 3-column CSS layout. I would like the center column to be fixed-width, and the outer columns to split the remainder of the document's width. All 3 columns should be able to contain centered or floated block elements and accept mouse events. Currently, I have approached this problem two nearly-successful ways. The first was to float the outer columns, but then I have no way to make them fill out. The second was to float the outer columns, then set them both to 50% with the appropriate margin set to half the width of the center column, but then I lose mouse event support in the center column because of the margins. The relevant CSS follows: Code: html { height: 100%; width: 100%; } body { margin: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; } #left { float: left; height: 100%; /* 2nd attempt width: 50%; margin-right: 305px; */ } #right { float: right; height: 100%; /* 2nd attempt width: 50%; margin-left: 305px; */ } #center { margin: auto; height: 100%; width: 610px; } HTML-wise, the div order is #left, #right, #center. Does anyone know of a way to work around this? I'm having problems with a fluid three column layout. I started with the layout from Realworldstyle and ended up with this. The strange thing is that it seems to stay wider than the window, no matter what size the window is. There's also the right end of the top border in the right DIV, which is a few pixels short. Any suggestions? http://midnighttweaker.50megs.com/test.htm I need to create a layout that is 100% width. 2 columns. The right column is 300px and and left column (content) takes up the rest. I need content to be first in the code because of float clearing. Thanks for any help! Hi all, I have a three column fluid layout that works reasonably well. However, I'm running into situations where people want to use these ridiculous tables that are way too big. What happens in those cases is that the middle column tends to just write itself on top of the right column.

Greetings header, one column content body, navigation footer. My layout idea is fairly basic. Fixed width-fluid height. One column with a <div> block element with "overflow: auto" so my lengthy text content can be scrolled within the skin. What I need to figure out is how to allow the skin's graphics, with its block element body to vertically expand or contract, depending upon the user's resolution. I have considered using % values, but I don't know how to apply them to the skin's graphics properly. jbonham At the moment I have a css layout nearly done. It works fine in IE and Firefox except for that the left navbar does not push the footer down. Instead it jumps out the parent div. The 2nd (maincontent) and 3rd (right column) do push the footer down. This wouldn't be such a problem if the navbar would contain static content, but it is dynamic and database driven. A simple solution would be to move the navigate thing to the right bar, but sadly I'm not allowed to do that. Layout CSS code Code: #body { position:relative; margin:0 auto; width:94%; min-width:50em; max-width:70em; border: 15px solid #ffffff; } #header { /* border: 1px solid #000000;*/ height: 185px; background-color:#ffffff; background-image: url(../images/design/test3.jpg); } #outer_wrapper { background: #ffffff url(../images/design/background_3.gif) repeat-y left; border-top:none; border-bottom:none; } #wrapper { background: url(../images/design/background_2.gif) repeat-y right; } #container { width: 100%; float: left; margin-right: -200px; background: #ffffff url(../images/design/background_2.gif) repeat-y right; /*border:1px solid #000000;*/ } #content { margin-right: 200px; /*background: url(../images/design/background_3.gif) repeat-y left;*/ } #main { /*border:1px solid #000000;*/ margin-left: 150px; /* background-color:#bbbbbb;*/ } #left { position: absolute; top:189px; width: 140px; /* height: 100%;*/ float: left; text-align: left; /* border-left: 2px solid #bbbbbb;*/ font:normal normal normal 12px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #sidebar { width: 200px; float: right; clear:right; } #footer { /* border: 1px solid #000000;*/ background: #304773; height: 30px; } .last { margin-bottom: 0; } .clearing { height: 0; clear: both; } Div structu Code: <div id="body"> <div id="header"><h1>Welkom bij Overeem de Haas</h1> </div> <div id="outer_wrapper"> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="main"> </div> <div id="left"> <? include ("../include/navigatie.inc"); ?> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <? include ("../include/uitloggen.inc");?> <? include ("../include/winkelmand.inc"); ?> </div> <div class="clearing"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"><p class="content"></p></div> </div> navigatie.inc code Code: <div id="navigatie"> <ul> <li class="menu">Navigatie menu</li> <li><a href="index.php">Home pagina</a></li> <li><a href="#">Wat is Overeem?</a></li> <? ... echo "<li><a href=\"#\">Contact</a></li>"; echo "</ul>"; echo "</div>"; ?> Live example Can anyone (dev)shed some light on this? I just can't get it to work without messing up the 3rd column. 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. Hi all, I'm trying to achieve the following: <div id="left">This column is of blue background, and stretches all the way to the left.</div> <div id="center"> THIS COLUMN IS FIXED WIDTH, 760px </div> <div id="right">This column is of red background, and stretches all the way to the right.</div> Hope that is self explanatory.. I've Googled all this but can only find solutions for fluid "center" columns with fixed width right/left columns. I'm trying to do the opposite. Could anyone let me know how I can do this? I've got some messy CSS that definitely needs to be corrected, I'm trying out different things so here's my 'trial& error' code: Code: #left { background-color: blue; float: left; margin: auto; position: absolute; } #center { background: #DFDFEB url(../images/body/top.jpg) no-repeat; width: 760px; margin: 0 auto; } #right { background-color: red; } Thanks in advance! Hey guys, since the last time I posted, I've made a lot of progress with learning CSS but I'm still having one issue. When I resize my window or I use a smaller resolution, my footer bleeds out into the third column. It doesn't do this with the header, navbar, or text box and I don't understand why. Any help? I would love for it to look like the footer on the mint.com site. Do you know how to accomplish this? I seem to be having a bit of a problem with a layout I am attempting...here is the problem... First of all, this is a 4 column layout with an absolutely positioned header. The 4 columns use floats for positioning as I am trying to keep a natural code flow. The 4 columns are intended to expand and contract with the page's width, and the heights should be 100%. The content of the page flows below the fold of the page on nearly every page. My problem is with the 100% height. In Firefox the footer that I am using to clear the floats is not clearing them, but rather resting below the floats. Does anyone have a good reference for using floats with 100% height that flow below the fold of the page? If someone wants to take a look at an example, you should message me as I can't post the development site publicly. I'm having two issues with IE on my site. 1. IE is displaying the body background image (bg.jpg) throughout the entire page. 2. IE is pushing the sidebar way down. Neither of these issues exist in Firefox. I think the second issue may have something to do with the first issue. Here is the relevant code. Code: html,body * { padding:0px; margin:0px; } body { background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-color:#fb7d21; margin:0 auto; height:100%; } div#container { width:792px; margin:0 auto; background-image:url(images/filler.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } div#header { width:792px; height:109px; background-image:url(images/header.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; margin-top:20px; } div#content { float:left; width:570px; padding:0 0 0 10px; margin-top:-40px; } div#sidebar { float:right; width:212px; margin-top:-95px; } div#footer { clear:both; width:792px; height:84px; background-image:url(images/footer.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; } You can see the issues on my site here. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance. Hello! I am in need of some help with my css. I know, I am a total newbie but need some help with getting the css working properly. It seems that some parts work for IE and other parts work for Firefox. It seems like my left bar shows differently in IE and Firefox. Furthermore I have checked with IE on Mac and the main body doesn't show correctly either. It is displayed too short, doesn't fill the box. If anyone please could take a look at the code and see if they can help me I would appreciate it. Please anyone help me. You can see the page at: http://www.galakse.no/test/index.php/tscm/news The css is located he http://www.galakse.no/test/design/tscm/stylesheets/tscm.css Any and all help is very much appreciated! Thank you! I've spent the last two days struggling, trying to get the footer to stay at the bottom of the window and the two right most columns in my layout to stretch to the footer. I've search this site thorough for answers, and yes, there were many of them. But still, after implementing everyone I came across, I can't get the layout to do the above criteria in both IE and Firefox.

While they were helpful, I wasn't successful in implemented many of the techniques suggested in them to solve my problems. Using my http://www.thatspotonline.com as an example I'll explain my problem. I'm trying to use a 3 column fluid layout with a header and a footer. I've gotten past the browser problem with IE and now face a new problem with proper display in firefox. With the included css and attached xhtml layout I end up with a rather large gap on the bottom of the design without adding quite a bit of content to make the page length grow. I've tested with about everything else and this problem doesn't show up. I would gladly take some advise if anyone has any thanks. Code: * { margin:0 auto; padding:0; } h2 { font:bold 2em/1.4 "Lucida Bright", Georgia, Times, serif; color:#8B9F86; } h3 { font:bold 1em/1.6 "Lucida Bright", Georgia, Times, serif; color:#845697; } a { color:#4C53E0; } a:focus, a:hover, a:active { color:#EB8518; } body { background:#000000 url(images/body2.jpg); background-repeat:repeat; background-position:top left; font-size:90%; margin:0 auto; padding: 24px 0; } #outer { margin:0 auto; width:80%; min-width:40em; max-width:70em; border:10px solid #EEEEEE; border-width:0 5px; background:#EEEEEE; } ul#nav:after, #outer:after, #sub:after, form:after, form div:after { content:"."; display:block; visibility:hidden; clear:both; height:0; } * html #nav, * html #content, * html form, * html form div { height:1%; } ul#access, .off { position:absolute; left:-1000em; top:-1000em; } hr {display:none} #header { background:#EBEBE9 url(images/banner-bg2.jpg) repeat-x left bottom; } #header h1 { padding-left:.6em; font:bold 3em/2.5 "Lucida Bright", Georgia, Times, serif; /* line-height allows for image of buildings */ letter-spacing:1pt; color:#FFFFFF; background: transparent url(images/banner2.jpg) no-repeat right bottom; } #header h1 a { color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none; } ul#nav { list-style:none; margin:3px 0 1em; text-align:center; background:#FFFFFF; border-top:2px solid #444444; border-bottom:2px solid #444444; } #nav li { list-style:none; margin:0 auto; width:94%; min-width:40em; max-width:70em; display:block; text-align:center; background:#000000; } * html #nav li { width:24.9%; } #nav a { display:block; font:bold 1em/1.8 'Lucida Grande', Arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; text-decoration:none; color:#444444; margin:1px; background:#FFFFFF; } #nav a:focus, #nav a:hover, #nav a:active { border:1px inset #8B9F86; margin:0; color:#EB8518; text-decoration:underline; } ul#nav li#active { background:#FFFFFF; font:bold 1em/1.8 'Lucida Grande', Arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000; text-decoration:underline; } #sub, #right { font: 1em/1.5 'Lucida Grande', arial, verdana, sans-serif; word-spacing:.1em; margin-bottom:1em; } #sub { width:74%; float:left; position:relative; } #center { width:65%; float:right; } #left { width:33%; float:left; } #right { width:25%; float:right; } #center p { margin:.5em 2% .5em 0; } img.img-right { float:right; } #left h2 { color:#845697; font-size:1.5em; } #left p { font-size:.9em; } #right { font-size:.9em; } #right h2 { font-size:1.2em; } /** Footer **/ #footer { clear:both; margin-top:1em; font: 0.9em/1 'Lucida Grande', arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; border-top:3px double #C8DCC2; } #footer p { margin:1em 1em 1em 0; text-align:center; padding: 21px 0; } #footer ul { list-style:none; margin-top:.7em; } #footer li { display:inline; border-right: 1px solid #C8DCC2; padding:.3em 2%; } Hi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts.

Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob Hi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me |
