CSS - Div Won't Expand Width Of Content
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! Similar TutorialsI have a site with a fixed width, but a few pages on the site are reports with wide tables that overflow that fixed width. Per the spec, they overflow their containers instead of expanding the containers (as happened in the old table layout). Is there a way to get the old table behavior out of the styled div tags? This is a short example of what the site uses for layout. The first block is normal content. The second has content overflowing and I would like all containers to expand (Main expands for the content, Page expands b/c Main expanded, Header* and Footer expand b/c their container (Page) expanded). The third is what it'd look like after that expansion (table rendered). Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

I won't go back to tables, but I'd really like a general solution that can be applied to all pages, instead of doctoring widths and margins on the pages in question to get tolerable results. The page should be the set fixed width unless the content demands otherwise, then the entire page should stretch to flow. Any ideas? A screenshot for viewing sans personal test file. 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 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've looked over a couple of answers and they didn't seem to help me. I have a css "container" box defined like so, containing another "content" box. I'd like the container's height to stretch to contain whatever is in the content box. #container { width: 720px; height:????????????????; margin: auto; text-align: left; position: relative; } #content { position: relative; left:125px; top: 105px; width:500px; border:0px solid #000; } with html like so: <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> The content always spills over, unless I set overflow, but that does not solve the problem. 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. 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) I'm a newbie to css. I'm trying to convert tables to css and having a bit of a tough time. Latest problem - create a window or container with a one line border with minimum height, say 600px, but the height will expand as the content grows. Any help? Thank you kindly! in ie the main page looks fine but the inner pages in for ex: http://www.bekirhoca.com/ogretmen/uzmanortmen.asp width sux. When i gave width value its not okay both in ie and firefox. So now I publish my site with spaces between columns in ie and messed up style in firefox. I think that'd help ,, i want a code that will keep my site remain same when the window has a small weight or height Please helppppppppp ok here i am again with a width problem ,, http://www.bekirhoca.com/index.asp < here's the problematic page. the index looks fine but inner pages like http://www.bekirhoca.com/ogretmen/uzmanortmen.asp (this is one of the pages cleared from tables) , content width is smaller and not like as i want it to be or you want it to be ,, in my css when i gave width it looks fine on my computer but on another computers not because i adjust the width for my computer. when i give width, if you have a tight browser the content overflows and puts itself to the downwards of the page. And also when theres no width, the site sux in ff. where the the problem starts in my css #contentColumn { float: left; background:white; //if width: a number; } if you didnt understand the subject i'll try and explain it a bit better here! This is my problem in IE my page looks like this http://www.readyflowers.com.au/div-fill.gif But what i want is when there is no content for those divs not to appear so it would look like this (In firefox it works!) http://www.readyflowers.com.au/div-fill-firefox.gif 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 Hello, How can i create a fixed-width menu to the left with content to the right that fills up the rest of the page. ie, no auto-width, it needs to fill up all the way to the right edge. So if you create a horizontal line <hr> in the content it will draw all the way to the right (except for some padding of course) Like this pictu tinyurl.com/ydsr2ov Ok, i have a scenario. I need to add something to a web page without effecting the overall width of the site. Now obviously i can add a background image to the body tag and that wont effect the width but how can i do this elsewhere in the site? For example, the width of a site is 780px wide and at the bottom of the site is a footer with a 800px width image. I need that image to be there but without increasing the site size from 780 t0 800 so that it is still optimized for computers running 800x600 Cheers 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. My problem is that when the table has so many <td>s that its width is forced to be greater than its parent <div>'s fixed width, the other page elements are not rendered as desired. Here is a simple illiustration of what I'm talking about. The text on the page explAins my issues (although it should be evident from loooking at it in a browser).

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? I've noticed a trend in recent CSS sites with a header, content and perhaps double footer. Each of these sections has a fixed width for the content but the backgrounds for each section are liquid and each has a unique colour. I've been trying to replicate this effect on a clients site but I just can't seem to make it work. Does anyone have any ideas? This is the technique I've been using: Code: <div id="header-fluid"> <div id="header-fixed"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"></div> </div><!-- head-fixed --> </div><!-- head-fluid --> Code: <div id="content-fluid"> <div id="content-fixed"> <div id="content"></div> </div><!-- content-fixed --> </div><!-- content-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer1-fluid"> <div id="footer1-fixed"> <div id="sponsors"></div> </div><!-- footer1-fixed --> </div><!-- footer1-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer2-fluid"> <div id="footer2-fixed"> <div id="copyright"></div> </div><!-- footer2-fixed --> </div><!-- footer2-fluid --> Thanks for your time on this!! Hanek Alrighty, I'm trying to produce a layout similar to that of what is shown in the attached image. Please ignore the image being the rainbox colors, but I had to differentiate sections. I can get the banner/search line to appear properly, but the rest will not. Left menu gets positioned fine, the content does as well (more or less), but the right column is displaced, and shifted down to the very bottom of the window -- far right, though. I can't explain much better than that, so without further ado: CSS: Code: .columns-float{
float : left;
width : 80%;
}
.column-one
{
width : 75%; /* NOTE: This needs to be dynamic! THIS is what I'm
inquiring about. The above problem assumes this attribute
is set to "auto". */
float : right;
}
.column-two
{
width : 25%;
float : left;
}
.column-three{
width : 20%;
float : right;
}
.box-footer{
clear : both;
}
.column-one-content{
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
}
/*Hack below:*/
.box-wrap, .columns-float, .column-one, .column-two, .column-three, h2{
p\osition: relative;

I haven't used CSS/html in awhile but if anyone can help me either "fix" the content box so it appears like mockup which would be centered on my screen as my resolution is 2560X1600(30") and just repeat the <div's> when needed. Hope someone can help me with my question. 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? |
