CSS - [help]expanding Two <div> Columns As Same Length
Alright, I am new to these forums since the other handful I have went through could not help me out.
Here is my situation, I have a layout I am creating for a final project, and I have it set up so that the navigation is in a left column and the content for the actual page is in a right column, right. Both are right next to eachother which you can see below in this image: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/...sitebug5la1.png My issue is that once the content within the Right Column expands beyond the browser and creates a scroll bar, the left column no longer expands it's background image to match up. All containers and elements have their height set to 100% that are involved.

Both the CSS and XHTML are valid Any help is much appreciated. Similar TutorialsHi everyone. This is my first venture into laying out pages using style sheets. If you have a look at the attached image you will see what I need done. Please ignore the pink lines, it's ust my graphic designer slicing up images. I'm pretty sure that I can create the colors, borders, positioning etc. I just don't know how to make the left column grow with the right column when more text is added. Help anyone? Thanks in advance. I have a three column layout. The third column is empty except for a background image which I'd like to be the same length as the main (content) centre column. This would ensure the background image in the right column is at the same length as the main content Any ideas how I can do that? The site is weary.me.uk/MT and the CSS is weary.me.uk/MT/css/threeColumn.css Thank you so much Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg Hello, I started off trying to find a content box that expands depending on screen res because the last one I made would break in the middle if the users screen res was over 1600px wide. This box worked great with the screen res but now I'm trying to put content in it and my content is not expanding the box down. Instead of pushing the box lower and forcing a scroll bar. The content keeps going down past the bottom of the box and makes a scroll bar. Any idea how I can make the box expand with my content? here is a link to my test page. http://www.gamerunion.com/test.html My css code. Code:

Hello, I'm trying to make the left and right divs increase length with the centre (content) div. http://offhourscomputing.com/test.htm I've tried experimenting with using 100% and auto for the height, but that either makes the left and right sides exactly 100% of the height space in my browser or makes them disappear (using auto). Thanks. The picture you can see is part of a PSD which I'm now "converting" into html... anyway, I'd like to know whether there is a CSS attribute that can define the exact width of borders? Hey, so I've just formatted my first table-free html page, using CSS. It's mostly cool, except that the page length doesn't mesh with the amount of content... http://mailwerx.ca/grundmans/about_us.htm The css is at... http://mailwerx.ca/grundmans/grundmans.css If anyone knows why this is happening, please tell me! I've played with this for hours! (And I know it's probably something small and stupid.) Thanks! -Jaeger Hi folks. I'm so new at CSS it's sad. I'm using a css template and I can't figure out how to get the page shorter. I tried adding overflow, tried setting it to auto or inherit. Pretty sure I'm way off. I see in the stylesheet it's set to be 1100px but I don't need it that long on every page. This is my first post here so I will wait to see if anyone wants me to post the stylesheet. Thanx so much for the help! So, I want it so that depending on how much content there is on my page, it will be longer or shorter, so I don't have to stick to a fixed height. Draft: I was thinking I need to use a code similar to this link. Would anyone care to help me out? Our pages all validate and work fine in all browsers (opera, firefox, mozilla, ie6, 5.5, nn >= 4.8) but in ie 5.01 the page content is far too long...a badly drawn ascii example: normal view: nav | content nav | content nav | content footer-------- problem in ie 5.01 Code: | content
| content
| blank
| blank
nav | blank
nav | blank
nav | blank
| blank
| blank
| blank
| blank
footer--------
Hope that makes some kind of sense. Basically IE is pushing the nav down, but it also seems to be adding the contents height below the nav as well Hi, I need some expertise in trying to get equal length columns on a site. I'm completely revamping a site and having trouble with a two column layout. The right column just stops halfway down the page. What am I doing wrong. The CSS is body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; } p { padding: 10px; } ul { list-style-type: disc; display: list-item; } li { } h1 { padding: 10px; text-align: right; font-size: 20px; } h3 { font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; } ,clear { clear: both; display: block; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #wrapper { margin: 0 auto; float:left; width: 100%; } #topadsense { float:left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #bookmarking { float:left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #printerfriendly { float:right; padding 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #content { float: left; color: #333; background: #FFFFFF; width: 50%; display: inline; } #pagecontent { float: left; color: #333; background: #FFFFFF; width: 75%; display: inline; } #header { color: #333; width: 100%; float: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; height: 250px; background: #FFFFFF; } #pageheader { color: #333; width: 100%; float: left; height: 75px; background: #FFFFFF; } #footer { clear: both; width: 100%; position: relative; text-align: center; color: #000; background: #FFFFFF; } #footerbreak { width: 100%; height: 25px; clear: both; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; color: #FFF; background: #000000; } #supportfooter { float:left; } #navigation { float: left; width: 100%; height: 25px; color: #333; background: #CC0033; } #leftcolumn { color: #333; background: #EBE3CD; width: 25%; float: left; } #rightcolumn { color: #333; background: #EBE3CD; width: 25%; float: left; display: inline; } #footerleft { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #footerright { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #footermiddle { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #redcolor { color:#CC0033; text-align: center; font-weight:bold; } #topheader { margin-left:auto; margin-right: 0px; } and the page has this setup: <HTML> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>PC Hell: How to Start Windows in Safe Mode</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/common/style.css" /></head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="pageheader"> <h1>How to Start Windows in Safe Mode</h1> </div> <div id="navigation"> </div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="pagecontent"> <div id="topadsense"> <!--#include virtual="/adsense336.txt" --> </div> <div id="bookmarking"> <!--#include virtual="/bookmarks.txt" --> </div> <div id="printerfriendly"> <A href="/print/printpage.php"><b>Printer Friendly Version </b><img src="/images/printicon.gif"></A> </div> Main body of content is placed here <div id="supportfooter"> <!--#include virtual="/support/supportfooter.txt" --> </div> </div> <div id="rightcolumn"> <p><!--#include virtual="/adsense.txt" --> </p> <br /> <br /> <p align="center"><!--#include virtual="/searchtables2.txt" --> </p> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="footerbreak"><strong>Recommended Software for PC Hell Visitors</strong> </div> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="/indexfooter2.txt" --></div> </div> </body></html> Any help is appreciated. I have a wrapper div that should do the trick, but its not working. Thanks, Mark I've got a site I've started to work on: domosworld.net I want it setup so the three middle columns are equal width? I set right/left borders on the middle content, but am worried that perhaps the right side will be longer than the middle which will cause the layout not to look right. What is the best way to achieve the equal columns? Hello, I have 2 questions - hope that ok moderator? First. My sidebar, it bugs me. I would like for it be the same length as the #Maincontent, but It is either to long or to short...Does anybody have a idea for a solution? Second. I would like to have a picture next to the #maincontent, on the right, from top to bottom, and parallel to it, and a bit out. (Sorry I don't know the correct English term). Kind of like the lines next to the sidebar - which is a background image for #sidebar. I already got a background image on body. Is This possible? In advance, thanks for any help or advice. And I can't post url... so here is some CSS: Code: html { margin-top: 20px; }
body { padding: 0px; background-color:#e6e2bf; background-image: url('imgs/bag.png'); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position: top right; padding:30px; margin-bottom:0px;}
#wrap { width: 850px; height: 500px; padding: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-image: url('imgs/right.png'); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-position: top right;}
#maincontent {position: relative; left: 230px; float: left; text-align: left; width: 580px; min-height: 500px; margin-left:10px; background-color:#fff; z-index:2; }
#header { background-color: #e5edf2; width: auto; height: 100px; margin-bottom: 30px; top:35px; z-index:3;}
#footer { width: 100% height: 50px; margin: 0px auto 30px auto; color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url('imgs/bund.png'); }
#sidebar {position:absolute; top: 0px; text-align: left; padding-top: 40px; padding-bottom:200px; width:auto; height:100%; padding-right:10px; z-index:4; background-image: url('imgs/sidebar_bag.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-y; }
#logo {position: relative; right: 40px;}
I'm wanting to extend a div all the way to the bottom of the page to give the effect of a white column. How can I make it extend all the way to the bottom if the content is too short to make it do this? The example is at http://www.wattersisere.co.uk/devshed. Thanks, Watters It's a classic problem, but I was just wondering if anyone could give me some help on it. Heres the link to the webpage (note, none of the links or owt work, it's just filler for the mo): Code: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jdg8/WebSiteHelp/ I want to the make the sidebars on each side stretch to the bottom of the page (Down to the footer) but it won't seem to go. I've tried following googles advice and it's not working either. Here's the code: Code: body {

background:#FFF;
height: 100%;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */

/* Tips for sidebars:
1. Since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use side padding on the sidebars. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the "#sidebar1 p" rule.
3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you may choose to change to pixel sized columns.

/* Tips for mainContent:
1. the space between the mainContent and sidebars is created with the left and right margins on the mainContent div.
2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600 resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 300px or smaller (this includes images).
3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs.

It should be noted that I'm not totally sure about CSS and most of it is either stolen from dreamweaver or rehashed together from old websites I made. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. ive been at this for a while now. i have a navleft.gif, navbody.gif, and navright.gif. what i want to do is make an expandable nav bar with the body repeating on the x axis. every attempt ive made doesnt work. im still fairly new to css. should i have a <div id="nav"> and within this div put a another div with id=navleft and another with navright? no idea how to go about this. any help would be appreciated.

ad = rightnav.inc Hello. Trying to construct a page with vertical expansion on both of two nested DIVs. Left column is primarily text which varies in length. Right column is a navigation/contact panel that is mostly fixed height, but want ability to drop in objects and expand vertically on some pages. I have tried to background image in container DIV, but I am still getting the content breaking out of the bottom of the DIV. Any other approaches? Min-height (could not get that to work either). Ideally I would like for these to have the same height. Not shading, so it doesn't need to be exact. Here's a sample of code (w/o all the junk). I have started creating a new DIV layout for my website but can't seem to get it to function correctly. I finally got the DIVs to expand with whatever content is in them, but now they will only span to the height of the window and hide the rest of the content instead of expanding further and just making the IE window scroll. Maybe one of you guys can help me out? Here is the test page: well apparently I can't post the url, so I guess I'll just "say" it. juicyart dot net / test.html |
