CSS - Content Getting Clipped At Bottom - Please Help!
Hello. I'm having an impossible time trying to get my page to behave properly. First, here's a link to the testing site:
http://www.tromadance.com/hoffman_test/index.php The black left/right borders are supposed to go down to the bottom of the page (as long or short as that may be, depending on the content). Whichever is longer between the left side content or the right side content should be in charge of "stretching" the page. There is also a footer that should remain at the bottom, which is not even being shown... I added borders to some of the divs to try to see what was going on. It looks like a mess, but I'm not sure what i am doing wrong!... Here is the CSS, followed by the HTML... CSS: Code: /* CSS Document */ html, body { background-color: #8A1410; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0; margin: 0; color: #000; height: 100%; } p { font-size: .8em; } #container { background: #EC1D25; width: 800px; margin: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; border-left: 2px solid #000; border-right: 2px solid #000; overflow: hidden; height: 100%; } #header { background-color: #EC1D25; width: 800px; height: 177px; background: url(../images/header_top.jpg) top center no-repeat; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; } #nav { background-color: #000; color: #FFF; text-align: center; width: 100%; height: 50px; } #nav p { margin-top: 30px; } #sidebar { background-color: #EC1D25; width: 270px; min-height: 86px; float: left; margin-top: 20px; text-align: center; margin-left: 10px; border: 1px solid #999; } #donate { background-color: #000; width: 270px; height: 500px; } #maincontent { background-color: #7AD3F7; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 10px; height: 100%; width: 500px; float: right; border: 1px solid #66F; } #spacer { clear: both; border: 1px solid #FF0; } #footer { font-size: .7em; text-align: center; height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; } HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>TROMADANCE!</title> <link href="includes/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"><?php include("includes/nav.php") ?></div> <div id="sidebar"> <object width="270" height="215"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zQR7sDpGegw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zQR7sDpGegw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="270" height="215"></embed> </object> Tromadance 10th Anniversary PSA <p> <div id="donate"> </div> </p><br /> <p>asdsadsa</p> </div> <div id="maincontent"> <p>SAMPLE TEXT</p> </div> <div id="spacer"></div> <div id="footer"><?php include("includes/footer.php") ?></div> </div> </body> </html> Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered!!!...

Thanks for any help! So I have a 3-column layout in CSS and I'd like to have the content in the right-most column to be align to the bottom, like so: Code: | LEFT | MIDDLE | | | (top) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RIGHT | | | | (bottom) | Any idea how to do it? Thx! I want a footer that's at the bottom of the page. If there isn't much content that means it should be at the bottom of the screen and there will be no scrollbars. If there is tons of content then it should show after the content and only be visible if the user scrolls to the bottom of the page. This code shows what I'm after and the problem I'm hitting.

Greetings, I have a 3 column layout with a header, nav bar, content space and footer on the center column, making the center column have 4 rows. The content div's height is set to auto and it's overflow to auto so that when the browser is maximized on higher resolutions it will expand and contain the text without a scrollbar. alternatively it will give a scroll bar if the content div is shrunk below 300px. however the auto height on the content div is causing it to take up more room than necessary. if the window is shrunken down, the content text will leak out over the footer bar and beyond. Before i post code does anyone have any suggestions on what i should be looking for? If code is wanted lemme know. Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one left for navigation and one to the right for the content. For some reason, the right hand side one is displaying content at the bottom where the left div's content ends, instead of at the top. This is my code. Any help on what I have done wrong would be great! PHP Code: #main_left{ width: 238px; float:left; background-color: #EBE1D1;} #main_left_inside{ padding: 10px;} #main_content{ margin-left: 248px; background-color: #ffffff;} #main_content_inside{ padding: 10px;} hi, I am fairly new to css and working on a website with a complete css layout for the first time, one I got from dreamweaver. I thought things were going great because I did all my testing in Firefox (like a good boy) but then I tried to test it in Internet Explorer 6 and alot if not all of my webpages have the text positioned at the bottom instead of the top of a page.

Hello - I'm having trouble with the layout of a site I'm working on. Here's the site in question: http://www.americanidiotsband.com/ If you look at it in anything up to 1024x768, it's fine. But if you go higher than that (say, 1280x1024 resolution), then the main (black) part of the page goes only as far down as the content that is filling it. What SHOULD happen is that the black background should span all the way to the bottom, no matter how much content is inside it... Here is a link to the stylesheet that I made up: http://www.americanidiotsband.com/styles.css I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and I'm hoping that someone could help me correct this. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!... Hi all, this is my first post and hope I get help in a hear-tearing problem that I face at this link: (URL address blocked : See forum rules) ie show the complete page fine but firefox obscure the bottom content, no need for more explanation since it is obvious from looking at the page, I have the same problem when page content get much long as in the above link. any help would be greatly appreciated. sorry for my bad english Hello, My first CSS site was going fine; I was learning as I went and drawing from different resources. My code and CSS probably isn't very pretty ( I validated it, I know it needs to be cleaned up) but things were working. Then I went back and made some adjustments concerning the widths of my column divs. Now I find that Firefox is respecting the rightcolumn div (specifically: <div id="contentright">)but IE keeps kicking it to the bottom left. I've tried messing with the column lengths so everything fits accordingly as specified in the frame div width. Can anyone please take a look and offer a suggestion? thanks. http://www.brinjac.com/test/binnspark.html Basic, I know. I've probably just been staring at this thing too long. The building image to the right of the navbar displays correctly in Firefox, and has its top clipped off in IE 7 (not caring at this point about 6). Hmm... I guess I can't post a link. Crumbs. Well, not sure if its even possible to get help with this thing but maybe describing it with code will make the solution pop to my head. I'm doing a quick rebuild of palladio-tours .com to sort of bring the code into this millennia. In my first run through using Firefox to check (mistake) I changed the navbar to a horizontal text CSS based <ul> underneath the Palladio Tours <img> with a <br>. Now, in Firefox this works just fine, but in IE 7 (and 6, but again, not caring at this point), the yellow-ish building to the right of the nav list is clipped off exactly above the upper boundary of the list before it. Let's see if I can post the relevant code.

Please take a look at this mumbo jumbo example: Testing page The objective is to adjust the images of the four round corners of a content rectangle. Now the problem is that the two bottom round corners are not showing properly in Firefox 1.0. They bleed outside the rectangle towards the bottom, with a few pixels. And no matter what I change or try, it won't work. Second, the corners don't look even close to right in Internet Explorer 6.0. Do you have any idea how to correct this thing? Thanks a lot for anyone taking the time to help and give tips. Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a footer for a web page. The content displayed will change dynamically from article to article that is posted. The footer is a simple div that has centered text stating "page posted by $membername on $date" What I want is if the article is not long enough to push the footer all the way to the bottom, that it would be fixed to the bottom of the screen (not the page). Is this possible? For instance, someone posts an article that is long enough that you would need to scroll down to see the entire page. The footer would be ok being placed just after the article. But if the article is very short, just like 1 paragraph.. the footer would show halfway up the page. Ideas? Hello all I have an elastic design in which an image clips to the appropriate size via overflow: hidden. Is there any way to control which sides are cropped? What I mean is, can one emulate the background-position property for IMGes with overflow: hidden? Thanks Tom Hi, I'm working on a website for a church and we're near completion, but I'm having trouble getting the site to display properly in IE7 on Windows XP and a few other browsers according to browsershots.org. CSS and XHTML both validate at w3c.org. I've ripped this thing apart and put it back together with no luck. The really weird thing is the Home page looks fine, but in the rest of the pages the body content gets pushed below the left and right navigation bars. Is it a CSS float problem? Margins or paddings??? Home page: Looks OK in IE7, at least on my machine - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/index_temp.php Ministry page: Content is pushed to bottom of page - http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/mini...ns_ministry.php The CSS files are at http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/main.css and http://www.stlukeslutheran.com/css/common.css. Would anyone be willing to take a look? Thanks in advance. this is bugging the hell out of me, cant find a working answer anywhere (i've tried a bunch of things) So I have 3 images for the top of my page and 3 images for the bottom. The page is enclosed in a div frame titled "frame" each of the 3 columns is enclosed in a frame "leftframe" "centerframe" and "rightframe" Each of the 3 columns has a top which is a fixed size image at the top, a middle which is just empty space for content to go, and a bottom which is a fixed size image at the bottom. Problem: I can't get any of the 3 column's bottoms to stick to the bottom of "frame" I've tried some code in here to do it and it doesn't work.. any help here? thanks!

If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read. Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide? This is my CSS: PHP Code: .glidecontentwrapper{ position: relative; /* Do not change this value */ height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/ overflow: hidden; } /* Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding Adjust related containers below according to comments */ .glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/ position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */ background: white; visibility: hidden; width: 330px; } /* Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding) */ .glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */ width: 360px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right" background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/ } Any help would be great! Thanks. Well I managed to find a partial solution by adding "clear" to the "statusDiv" like so: Code: .statusDiv { clear: both background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png); height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1px; } This kicks sibling divs onto their own line (which is what I wanted) but the spacing between divs is 2 pixels and I can't seem to find any combination of padding, margins etc to get the spacing down to one pixel. Does anyone know of a way to control the inter-div spacing when "clear" is defined? Thanks Ken --------------------------------------------------------------- Original post --------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to make a few divs to create the same basic functionality as an outline (with disclosure triangles etc...) and am having alignment problems. The first row renders perfectly but the text of subsequent rows overlaps the text of first row. Here's the html: Code: <div id="contentBlock" class="bodyText"> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">New</div> </div> <div class='statusDiv'> <div class='disclosureCollapsed'></div> <div class="disclosureDivLabel">Open</div> </div> </div> And here's the CSS: Code: #contentBlock { position: absolute; top: 130px; left: 200px; height: 101%; /* Hack to force vertical scroll bars */ right: 280px; min-width: 400px; visibility: visible; display: block; } .statusDiv { clear: both background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_block.png); height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1px; } .disclosureCollapsed { background-image: url(../png/disclosure_triangles/blue_collapsed_wide.png); display: block; text-align: right; /*position: absolute;*/ float: left; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 18px; height: 20px; } .disclosureCollapsed:hover { cursor: pointer; } How would I make the text in each subsequent row (statusDiv) line up? Thanks for any help Ken http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/?m=200712 Still working on it, but something caught me and I'm clueless. See, I'm still learning Tableless CSS, and well... I'm not sure how to have it so that the content doesn't run over the footer like that. As it should be more like... http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/ For CSS reference, here is where the css file is located: http://www.hybridillusions.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/simplistic/style.css Thanks in advance! |
