CSS - Fluid Floating Issue
It's been a while since Ive had to produce a layout so I'm a bit rusty and at the moment stuck. I think it should be pretty obvious what I am trying to do from the code, but will briefly explain.
------------------------ |banner | ------------------------ |menu| content | | | | | | | | | | ------------------------ Within the content div, which is fluid and needs to have a min-width of 800px, will be a series of divs (each a 'widget') which either take an entire row to them selves or share a row with another div of same height and a portion of 99% width (leave 1% free to fix ie7 bug). Needs to work in ie6/7 and ff2/3. The issues: Making the content div fluid Ensuring even spacing between widget rows, In FF after a float has been cleared the margin is lost on either the bottom of the floating divs or the top of the cleared div Any help or suggestions would be great. This style of layout is critical for the site and I could do it using tables very easily, however, due to how messy that can become, especially when modifying I would rather a css approach.

Could you guys take a look at the css? rpisolution dot com/test/css/style.css and see if you see what is breaking it in IE6, i thought I had put a hack that was supposed to fix the issues. btw, i know the CSS is probably ugly. sorry about that. thanks 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? Please look at this page in FF http://www.roadhousecamper.com/camper.asp?rv=17 Notice div with the red background and the thumbnails? It should float to the right of the large image but is does not. It does though in IE7? Thanks for any help. T Can someone please look at this page in IE7 - http://www.pacunionsonoma.com/temp.asp?city=Santa-Rosa You'll notice the mortgage agent listing clear the left navigation when they shouldn't; also notice the page horizontal scroll. I highlight all elements but don't see which one is causing that unwanted scroll. Thanks. I've been beating my head against the wall over this problem for two nights now. I'm working on our new site and everything is formatting well across all major browsers. But when I go to print the page, the results are less than desirable, except for Opera on my Mac. For some reason that browser handles floating divs great. But Safari, Firefox 3 and IE 7 all barf on the divs. Particularly, if the text in my main content area exceeds a page length, the remaining text displayed on subsequent pages is displayed down the page and not at the top like one would expect. Another problem is that sometimes the first page will just show me the header and menu of my content and will begin displaying the main content on the second page. I've played around with clearing floats when printing but this just re-arranges the divs and of course overlaps with other floats. Could one of you experts please take a look at this page in particular and the accompanying main.css file and tell me a quick way to prevent this with using just css attributes. An example page is he www proterraonline com / dev / team.asp While I have a print css linked in the source of the html, the code is the same as in the main.css at the moment. Here's a link to the css file to make life a little easier. www proterraonline com / dev / css / main.css Thanks. Hi everyone. Im facing a problem. Basically I have one large table, with 4 rows. In each row it has two tables, the tables are floating left to each other, with some margin properties inside the <td> tags. If you would please look here. http://www.thehundreds.com/ideaforum/betahelp.htm ... As you can see, im using a pattern. A new row, each new row has two tables that float too each other. everything is aligned correct until I get to my 4th row. for some reason it wont float left anymore to the procedding row. Anyone know why it does this? I added a new class for the fourth set of tables, and made it clear both on the float, and this happends. http://www.thehundreds.com/ideaforum/beta1.htm ... See now the 4th table on the left works, but the right does not. If anyone can help me out here I would really appreciate it. Thanks a ton. I am useing bon rouge's 3 columns 100%: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fluid.php In IE, at some resolutions (1280x1024) the footer has a small 1pxish margin at the bottom. Any idea how to fix this? I have problem whereby i want a container div with the width at 100% and a inside div that which is the same width but minus 10px on both sides. How can you get the inside div to be of fluid width to the container div with the 10px either side. Thanks. I am a total newbie to CSS + DIV. I have a logo that I am trying to piece together for a fluid page. The middle image is already in place, and I have it set to 100% width. I have one div, called "header." I need to know how to place the other 2 images at the right and left hand sides. They will, of course, be the static images, and the middle will be dynamically sized by the browser. Here is my CSS, so far for this portion: #header { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; background: url(images/CATScreenMiddle.png); width: 100%; height: 265px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; Thanks for any help, in advance. 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. Code:

What I'd like is for the middle column to just expand as wide as it needs to be and have the whole page expand as a result, pushing the right column properly to the right. Additionally, I'd like the gray box to expand with it. Is this possible? 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! Hello I'm kinda new to css. (PHP programmer by day) and would like some help making something like this. stevenbarre dot com / sample.jpg I want the whole thing to stay in the browser (100% width and height) so you never get scroll bars. The top orange part should have a height in px as well as the bottom purple part. The green should have a width in px and the blue should be whatever is left over. I've done some googleing but haven't been able to find much on 100% height designs. Your help is much appreciated as well as links. Hi guys, need some help for my layout. What I am trying to do is set a div to: When screen width is <1024 x 768 width should be fluid When screen width is >1024 x 768 width should stay at within 1024 (viz. 970) to avoid the long hard-to-read paragraphs. Any ideas? Preferbably no javascript as I want it to change as the browser resizes without refreshing, like when the width is set to 100%. Hello! I'm here after much googling, and I am bashing my head against the wall, so any help is appreciated: Footer and header, fixed size, attached to top and bottom of screen. I want the center div to be a fluid height to sit between the header and footer, and if the content extends beyond that, I want it to scroll within the div, not the page. Here, I'm linking to a picture to explain more clearly: portlandworkshop-dot-com-slash-projects-slash-divs-dot-jpg (it won't let me direct link.. durrr) Nothing I do seems to fix this conundrum... Can ANYONE point me in the right direction? 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 Hi Folks, Anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem? I'll be most grateful. I'm trying to position a DIV element to the top-right of another fluid DIV? The blue-toned photo [please see screenshot] is going right outside of the white content area. What it should look like What it sadly does look like If I get this working, will I have problems with the body text in different pages? Say, if there's no photo, can I get the text to move up automatically? The photo is not within the flow so I have the text at a fixed position. Finally, the footer with [top-of-page arrow] seems detached when the browser is maximised. Hoping someone can help - I've been at this a week. John This code produces what i want in IE. I'd like to know how to achieve the same result in firefox. The important parts of this layout is the fixed height for the footer and the testdiv completely filling the top td regardless of what else is in it.

Hey, I'm creating a 2-column fluid layout and find myself with a problem regarding word wrapping (at least I think that's the problem). For some reason I can't seem to get my content text to behave properly, namely the text gets hidden behind the right column as I decrease the browser-window. The columns are set to 70% (left column) and 30%(right column), with the combined width varying from 760px to 960px. The text I am having problems with is located in the left column, 150px from the far left side. I want this text to stretch from that position up until the right column begins. This have proven quite difficult. The main problem is, I suppose, that the necessery width of the div element that the text is placed within changes as the overall width change. I have tried experimented with specifying the width in percentages, however the correct value for that changes aswell.. So I'm stuck. Hope I made myself clear enough, kind of difficult to explain it to be honest. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this (without abandoning my overall fluid layout)? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. I have an issue with a 2 column CSS layout. Here is my code: Code:

Which produces this: Basically, I need a set up on the columns so that if there is no content in the left column (col1) col 2 will fill up the missing area. It doesn't work with the above code, specifically because of this part of the CSS Code: #col2 {
float:left;
width:70%;
background:yellow;
}
Which makes col2 move to the left, but retains the 70% width If i change the width to 100% or auto, then the col2 appears below col1 if I have content in col1. If I put no width or float in col2, the content in col2 wraps around col1: Help greatly appreciated Hello. I created my own rounded corners fluid site from scratch using CSS and images in the same way you would do it with a table, using the 3x3 format (topleft, topcenter, topright, midleft, midcenter, midright, botleft, botcenter, botright). The problem: The top section works great, but its the middle right section that doesnt justify properly. What you see: For the left and right middle, I have a background repeat on the y-axis. The left background is fine, as well as the middle, but a div inside the middle center is pushing right background to an area below (as shown in this image). http://clients.activemd.net/images/css-problem-screen1.jpg You will notice theres only whitespace on the right, and the background I'm trying to repeat is below it on the right.

The site is dynamic PHP, so I cant just throw a link in here. I hope this is enough information. If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Rick |
