CSS - Columns Out Of Order
Hi
So I am setting up a portfolio website and I have been focusing mainly on the highslide portion which I got working great (with this forums help, thank you!). Now I have gotten rid of all the tables and garbage like that and am trying to make the images the backgrounds so they will be locked but now the image links spill out of the column and don't line up anymore. this is what it SHOULD look like: http://kdpatton.com/index01.htm but this is what does look like: http://kdpatton.com/portfolio02.htm I can't figure out why. Any help would be great. Love this forum! Similar TutorialsHello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs). My problem is: - divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows. Here is a html code: Code: <!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER -->

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg I'm building a CSS web site and the main body of the page has a left column containg navigation and then the content on the right. What I want to have is that the height of the smallest of the 2 columns to equal that of the the highest, currently the navigation either runs over the borders of the actual box, or the text from the right column undercuts the navigation column. To see what I mean see www.twstd.net/future/. Hoiw can I prevent the above display issues? Thanks. Notice on NZBMatrix.com on the left hand side, it looks as if there were multiple boxes where normally just one navigation box would exist in a three-column layout. I already know how to do a three-column layout, but my question is, are there several different columns on the left of this website, or is it just one column with several sections defined by borders? Thank you for any advice. Have a little problem with the 3-column layout. I'm converting it down to 2-column, which should be easier. However, in all exampels I've seen, there is no need to assign height, and all of the column divs always stay the same height. I can't seem to duplicate this. Here's what I have: PHP Code: <div id="leftCol"> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> </div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> and the relevant CSS: PHP Code: .clear{ /* clearing element for floats */ font-size: 0px; /* for weird IE */ height: 0px; width: 0px; clear: both; } div{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px black solid; } #leftCol{ width: 100px; border: 5px #000077 solid; border-top: 0px #000077 solid; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; } * html #leftcol{ /* Tan Box Hack */ width: 104px; width: 100px; } IE likes it (IE likes just about anything), but the "more content" text gets wrapped around the "leftCol" in Firefox. Any suggestions to what I'm missing? Thanks! http://jordanmeeter.com/?page=about How would I make it so the left and right columns increase in height as the content gets taller and taller? Thanks. :-) Hi, i tried to change this blogger theme from 2 to 3 columns... but when done .... the menu bar on sidebar disapear... Can you help me?... for you I don't think is so difficult; I'm not a web designer but a system administrator... so, is not so easy. This is the link where you can find the xml. plantillasblogyweb.googlepages.com/Blogy-iPlantilla-Blogyweb.blogspot.c.xml Thank you in advance Surfparadise Hi, im kind of new to css and im trying to find the most effective way to organize content into 4 columns, I need the columns to be fixed of about 175px, is it possible to use list for this? Never Mind, I got it, I just discovered what "clear:" does Hi, I am trying to setup 2 columns in XHTML, and am wondering how I would get the right column to automatically begin after the left column. PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="leftcolumn"> <div id="leftcolumntop"> aaaa </div> <div id="leftcolumnbottom"> bbb </div> </div> <div id="rightcolumn"> <div id="rightcolumntop"> ccc </div> <div id="rightcolumnbottom"> ddd </div> </div> </div> So basically what I'm looking to do is position "rightcolumn" so it begins right after "leftcolumn". I'm not sure how to tho. Right now I'm using absolute positioning, but I'd rather have it all line up automatically rather then having to play with #'s to get it to line up every time. The columns work, however underneath the selected item, a gap forms. But only on the first 2/3 columns. Why? How can i stop it? Sorry about the messiness of the HTML code, it is dynamically created so readability in source code of page was not thought about! Sometimes you will be able to see it on my testing server. Screenshots for when my server is not online are attached.

Hi I am new to css and am trying to use the following code to make a page. i cant seem to position the content on the right of the left nav. i want it so that the content div resizes and stays in the same position when the browser is resized but the leftnav stays in the same position and doesnt re size....any help would be appreciated. third.css body { /*sets properties for the body of the document*/ background-color:#ffffff; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; } #container { margin-top: 50px; margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; padding: 0px; background-color: orange; width: 80%; min-width: 181px; } #footer { padding: 0px; position: relative; padding: 0px; background-color: yellow; width: 100%; } #content { left:200px; width:100%; background-color: red; } #leftnav { /*sets properties for the left nav bar*/ background-color : #66ccff; width: 180px; } third.html <div id="container"> container <div id="leftnav">left nav</div> <div id="content">content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content </div> <div id="footer">footer</div> </div> Just wondering is it a good way to do columns in css using two spans set to float left and then right and having their widths set, then the content in divs or spans inside them? Hi, I am looking to retrieve content from a database (that part I can handle) and then output it to the browser, but my css is poor. I want to create a two column format, which I am ok with using two div's in using absolute positioning in a relative frame, but that doesn't allow content to flow. I am looking for text that flows from the fixed bottom of the first column to the top of the second. If there is a way to do this, or anyone can point me to any resources, I'd appreciate it. Thanks I am trying to create a page with two side by side boxes, each coloured differently, and a third box, the full width of the page, directly underneath the other 2. The puzzling thing for me is that when I define the two side by side boxes as 50% each the left box will appear under the bottom box. If I define 1 of the boxes as 49.9% they appear side by side with a small strip between them. The other thing is that although I have defined margin and padding as 0 the boxes do not fill the width of the screen. Can anybody explain to me how to get the screen filled to 100% and the 2 columns to take 50% of the screen each. Here is the code: Code: .main_container{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
background-color:#FFF;
}
.left_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: left;
float: left;
background-color:#333;
}
.right_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: right;
float: right;
background-color:#666;
}
.footer{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 100px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: both;
position:relative;
background-color:#888;
}
Were in the middle of re-writing our tools and alowing our users (who put our tools in their website) much more controll over the css of the page. One of the things were touting is that the user can change the order of the fields in the forms to suit what ever is more important to them. While this may work well positionally , the tab orders are all f'd up. Is there any way to set these in CSS?.. All of the inputs and labels are each in their own divs with a unique ID. I'm thinking this isn't possible but I thought id ask Hello, Im new to CSS, im wondering if its possible to write a CSS to display items in the same way as a table with 2 columns. for example: Code: <table width="438" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td width="93" align="right"><strong>Key:</strong></td>
<td width="325">Element</td>
</tr>
</table>
Hi, I have spent ages trying to fix this. The problem is that the 'news' box on my site (www.getmooked.com/index.php) is meant to start at the same level as the other title 'welcome'. Whatever I do it doesnt seem to go to the same level. I cannot figure out how to do it without setting a negative margin, but then if the content on the left gets longer, the position of the news box gets lower down the page. Any ideas as to how to fix it? Cheers. The site has been uploaded to www.getmooked.com/index.php.

Hello all... I need to have one of my div's of my layout contain two separate columns. My layout has 3 columns and in the center main content column I need to split it in half to display list items. Part of a sitemap. I have this and it is not working. The boxes are working and in the proper horizontal alignment but they are not equal vertically. Ideas? Code: <div id="contentcenter"> <div style="background-color: #006666; float:left; width: 185px; "> <p>testing</p> </div> <div style="background-color: #000000; margin-left: 189px; width: 185px; "> <p>testing</p> </div> </div> Is it possible to to set up two divisions that display next to each other and take up the entire width of page? Neither of the divisions would be static. In my example, the one division would contain an image of variable size and the second division would take up the remainder of the width of the page with text. Is this possible with CSS? I can make this work with tables, but haven't been able to manage it with CSS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Anne. |
