CSS - Div Not Expanding With Floating Divs Inside
Basically, #bodycont has a background.
When I type text into this div, it expands and the background is show. However when I put the divs menu and news into it the background doesn't show. I've had this problem before but I can't remember how to fix it html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="bodycont"> <div id="menu"> <img src="imgs/menutop.png" /> </div> <div id="news"> wefwef </div> </div>
css Code: Original - css Code #bodycont { background-image:url(../imgs/background.jpg); width:100%; height:auto; } #menu { width:245px; float:left; } #news{ width:545px; height:auto; float:right; }
Similar TutorialsI need to know what attributes to give to my container div in order for this to work correctly. I have a div and within it are many floating divs, each that contain an image thumbnail and caption. I do it this way so the images fit on the page dynamically and it works great. Unfortunately the container div does not wrap around the height of the images. This causes content that should appear below the images to show up behind them. How do I make the container div actually stretch around all the child divs? here is a code sample Code: <div style="border: 1px solid blue; width: 100%; display : inline;"> <div style="float: left; margin: 2px; height: 150px;"><a href="/images/media/182_YachtClub_0003.jpg" rel="lightbox[post182]" title=" size 84k"><img border="1" src="/images/media/thumbs/182_YachtClub_0003.jpg" alt="" /></a><br/></div> <div style="float: left;

I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF.

Hello all, sorry if this is a "newb" question, but I am having trouble with the code on my site. The element "#arrival" is not displaying the proper height unless I literally type code in to fill it up the full 400px. I haven't implemented any paragraph styles, I just want to get the basic elements done for this landing page. How would I go about fixing this? Also, do I have to "float" the "#arrival" element? I would like to have the dog house overlap the first div element of the dog jumping (#dog) like in the jpg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! I'm using this code: CSS: Code:
#content {
margin-top: 75px;
width: 597px;
height: auto;
}
#left {
width: 110px;
height: 497px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
}
#right {
width: 485px;
height: 100px;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="left"> </div> <div id="right"> </div> </div> --------- But the right-div goes under or over the left-div. I've tried clear:both; between the div's, but it didn't help. URL I've used divs before and got them to work just fine. I've read previous posts and can't find the answer I'm looking for because it seems so basic. But here is my problem. I simply can't get the divisions to float left or right. They just sit on top of one another. Here is my style sheet code: Code: #container
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 800px;
}
#header
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: Blue;
}
#menu
{
background-color: Gray;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 140px;
}
#content
{
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 650px;
}
#footer
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 800px;
}
and my HTML: Code: <div id="container">
<div id="header" align="center">
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_header.aspx" -->
</div>
<div id="midsection" align="center">
<div id="menu">
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_menu.aspx" -->
</div>
<div id="content">
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_common_content.aspx" -->
<p>
Garbage.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer" align="center">
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_footer.aspx" -->
</div>
</div>
Thanks in advance for your help. Hi, If I have Code:
#parent {
background-color: red;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
}
#child1 {
float: left;
}
#child2 {
float: left;
}
</style>
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1">
Some text
</div>
<div id="child2">
Some text 2
</div>
</div>
Then the two child divs will appear underneath the parent one, whereas I want the background from the parent one to be the backdrop for the two child divs. if I remove float: left then they appear in it, but underneath each other. I want them side by side. Is this possible with css? 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 have a container div that contains multiple divs floating left within it. The container css is Code:
div.divContainer{
width:100%;
}
The child divs css is: Code:
div.div1{
float: left;
width:50%;
}
When the contents of the left div gets too large (and the browser window too small) the end divs wrap. I have researched this quite a bit and it seems like a solution is to give the container a fixed pixel width. I would like to keep it a relative width. Any ideas? I would even consider placing a horizontal scrollbar on the container rather than having it wrap Thanks I am working on this site for a client and I can't figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. It doesn't "work" in FireFox, which of course (I assume) means that IE is simply forgiving my errors, but let's not have a religious debate, let's solve problems. http://www.nolower.com/example.php http://www.nolower.com/css/public.css I am curious about two things: 1) Why is my white background (the main div) not showing up on this page? I thought I had cleared every float, yet, still, there it isn't! 2) Why does the background shadow (the main div), a background image that extends into the padding in IE as you'll see, not show up on FireFox? If anyone can help identify what I've done wrong and explain to me what made it break in CSS, I'd be very grateful. I've been trying to figure out the peculiarities of CSS and its very poor cross-implementation (not that tables were ever cross-implemented well either, oi) for about a year now and I always either make a new mistake or find something I haven't figured out yet. Thanks! What I have: I have a <div id="content"> that contains the main content of the site. In this <div> I have two other <div>s that are arranged in columns, using float. The left column forms the Navigation for the site and is surrounded by a black border. Here is the problem: If the content on the right is small, the border on the left stretches from top to bottom (since the left div controls the height). However, when there is a lot of content on the right, the border on the left only surrounds the content of the left div and leaves space underneath the bottom border-line. My question: Is there a way to "stretch" the left div so the border touches the top of its parent div on top and the bottom of its parent div on the bottom? Or in other words: Can I force the left div to have the same height as the right div? Here is an example of what I have right now (before tackling the problem): CSS: Code:
#content {
width: 800px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#contentNav {
width: 140px;
float: left;
border: thin solid black;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#contentMain {
width: 600px;
float: right;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="contentNav"> <a href="">Link1</a><br /> <a href="">Link2</a><br /> <a href="">Link3</a><br /> </div> <div id="contentMain"> <p>Here comes a lot of text that spans over many lines. </div> </div> 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. I'm redoing the layout of my site (www.brohawk.com) using floating divs with negative margins to produce a fluid left column and a fixed right column. I followed an article on A List Apart for the basics and got it working fairly nicely. As a matter of fact, the site works beautifull in Mozilla/Firefox and with minmal errors in NS7. I've even got all but the forums working in Opera. I haven't even begun to work on making it IE compliant. Saving the worst for last. Anyhow, on all the pages except the forums, the divs line up perfectly. However, on the forums page, the right div doesn't stay up top, instead it wraps around under the left div. However, I still get all the space to the right of the left div where the right one should go. Anybody with Opera should be able to check it out and see what I mean. Anyhow, can anybody tell me why it won't float properly on that one page, but it works on all the others? I have two div tags that I want to float next to each other. The page looks like this <table>These Tables stretch 100% of the width</table> <table>''</table> <div class="ParentDiv"> <div class="menuholder"></div> <div class="ChildDiv"></div></div> in FF everything works the way I want to. In IE if I shrink down the browser then the second div tag drops below the first. I want to change this so that it does not drop below but remains in the same place. Is there anything I can set to do that? If I remove the float and change the position on the menuholder the childdiv tag does not drop but the menuHolder content does not stretch the size of the parentDiv and gets chopped off at the height of the childDiv Code:
.ParentDiv {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 997 ? '997px' : '100%');
min-width:997px;
max-width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
min-height: 400px;
}
.ChildDiv {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: 400px;
}
.menuholder {
background-color: #EFF3F5;
color: #eef;
position: relative;
float: left;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;

hi, this might be a simple question: i have a "sidebar" div and a "img-content" div. I floated "sidebar" left and "img-content" right. i want them to be side-by-side. in IE6, the "img-content" div is to the right of "sidebar," but is also below it. in other browsers, they sit side-by-side (which is what i want). this must be a common problem, so before i post my code, wondering if anyone can point me to the fix/hack to get the 2 divs to sit side-by-side in IE6? thanks, tim |
