CSS - 100% Height Div W/ Background!
Since I began doing CSS layouts instead of tables last year, it seems like every single site I do I run into the same problem -- getting a div to stretch to 100% height. I find the solution to it, it works; then when I try the exact same solution for the next site I do, it refuses to work properly. It's very frustrating how such a simple concept can be so hard to do...
http:// www. pinstripepresentations.com/stephanie/residential.php There are two divs -- left column and right column -- within a page_wrapper div. I need the right column div and it's background to always be 100% height and touch the top and bottom of the window. But right now it only stretches to the window viewable area and doesn't continue when you scroll. I've included all the parent height commands. I've been fighting with this dang thing for a whole day and I'm not sure what else to try. Please help! Similar Tutorialshello, im gonna try to explain my problem. I have a wrapper div with a background image that is repeated on Y. Within that wrapper i have a content div, there are messages that come from a database. the problem is that the wrapper (and the background) isnt expending to the text that is in the content div. How to make the wrapper expend to the size of the content div!?. here are my divs: Code:
div.wrapper{
position:relative;
width:900px;
background:transparent url(images/templatemo_content_bg.jpg) repeat-y scroll 0 0;
margin:auto;
}
div.content{
float:left;
width:550px;
margin-left:20px;
}
i changed alot to try and now im totaly lost xD greetings Razedd Hi I have searched on this subject, and found the Faux Column articles, but I have failed to make use of these. The following page shows the problem LINK And CSS The text in the container div leads off the bottom of the page. The CSS is a bit of a mess at the moment because I have been messing with it trying to get this to work. I need the background of the container div to extend to the bottom of the content div. I have set min-height and heights for the body and html tags, and then for the container, as I know that the height is only taken into account if the parent has a height too. This does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks Jake Hey guys, how are you? So, I got two questions. Right now, on my main pages I have a fixed height, and wondering the best way to change it to a liquid one, so no matter how long the page is, I get a white background that's consistent with my 'main' <div>. And the second one, is how do I get a second background image on the body? I'm probably going to use almost almost a mirror type gradient of the top gradient, but not sure how to add it. You can view the two problems here http://thecheckoutplace.com/ home page). Thanks for your time, cheers. I am attempting to build a site with a fixed-width column that automatically centers in a window. In addition, I need the center color to extend to the bottom of the browser OR to the end of the content, which ever is longer. Right now, everything works great, until the content requires the page to scroll (either due to longer content or a shrunk browser window). For some reason, even though the "testing" text will continue, the background color stops short. How can I make the background always extend to the bottom of the text, no matter the browser size or content length? (I do have a much more complicated site built with an external style sheet, but to save hastle, this is a stripped down version showing just the issue I am having. The problem doesn't change even with nesting elements in the "main" div). Sorry if this question is dumb/obvious to anyone, I have tried finding a solution and it just seems to elude me. Thanx for any help anyone can offer! Code: <html>

<style type="text/css">
html {

Hello, I had a site exactly how I wanted to and messed up a css file. I am almost back to where I was but I am having an issue with the background image of the body element. Please look at this layout - Client Website . Notice how the hardwood floor does not go all the down? I have the image sized to 1500 pixels high and yesterday I did not have this issue. Also, when I outline elements in FF I see the body element seems to fall short. Any help would be appreciated. Tom I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this unless there is a trick or hack....Can u set a background images height & width in a tag? I have a logo'd masthead that I need to reduce when the user wants to print the page. I know I can just create a print-specific image but, I thought I'd ask to see if there was a way to reduce the image thru .css??? thanks! Stephen Hi all, I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with a coding problem. Basicaly, I have two columns and I want both to fill with the background colours with the same height. My sample coding is below. (NOTE: Ive had to remove the urls from the DOCTYPE and <html>, please replace with correct code). <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head><title>100% Height CSS Layout</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style type="text/css"> #all{ WIDTH: 950px; PADDING-TOP:0px; MARGIN: 3px auto 0px; POSITION: relative; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; FLOAT: left; } #leftside{ FLOAT:left; WIDTH:169px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid #999; POSITION: relative; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ededed; } #rightside{ BORDER: 0px solid #000; WIDTH:775px; FLOAT:left; POSITION: relative; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 5px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F4CDD8; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="all"> <div id="leftside">a<br>b<br></div> <div id="rightside">c<br>d<br>e</div> <div> </body> </html> In the above example I would like the "leftside" div to stretch to the same height height as the "rightside" div filling the area up with the "leftside" background colour and also extending the 1px border. All help much appreciated. Thanks Soph i am trying to have the background of all pages appear like this one: www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/events/ however it will only fill its parent container, like this www(dot)grimebikes(dot)com/media/ fade1000.png is the image i need to cover the entire pages content. /* HTML Tag Redefinition */ html { height: 100%; background: #000000 url(images/background.png) center center fixed; background-size: cover;} body { padding: 0px; margin: auto; height:100%; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; } img { border: 0px; } a {cursorointer; } /* Page Structure / Navigation */ #page { position:relative; width: 1000px; margin: auto; text-align:left; background: url(images/fade1000.png) repeat-y; min-height:200%;} #page.logo {position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:330;} #page input { color: #c2d826; background-color: #000000; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#444444; padding:2px; font-size:10px;} #page #content {width: 900px; margin:auto; text-align:left; position:relative; height:100%; } #page #content #header{ position:relative; width:900px; float:left; } Below is what I have. Displays fine in FF. In IE, there is approximatly a 13px white space under the image. Can't find an answer to this. Any insight is appreciated. --Sean HTML: <p id="dot"></p> CSS: #dot { position:relative; left: 0px; top: 0px; width:200px; height:6px; background-image: url(dot.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; line-height:0pt; margin: 0px; } I am new to CSS so bare with me if this is dumb, i have taken my page to the bare minimum trying to diagnose this. Mozilla Firefox does not seem to work with nested divs the way I think it should. IE7 works like a champ. I have a content area (mainpage) with a Vertical Navigation bar nested in it. I would expect the page to have a full background of coatedmetalsm.jpg since the mainpage is set to height: auto; But this only works in IE and Mozilla has no background. Can someone show me the error of my ways? Thanks, Carlos Code:

Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! Hello everybody! I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. Hello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later Code:

In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1
{
width: 575px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
height: 150px;
width: 750px;
}
#bannerPic {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#bannerText {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: -150px;
}
And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. i came across a solution for this a while ago and can't repeat the result i have 3 columns, div format with a left left right float. 1 2 3 #2 contains content that varies with the page, #1 and #3 contain background elements. i need 1 and 3 to extend the full height of 2, even tho the actual content is much less. thanks for the help! I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about |
