CSS - Entire Page Height
Hi, I'm trying to make a div in my website take up the entire height of the page, or more if the page is longer.
However when I've managed to get the div the full height of the page, the contents leave the div when it's longer than the page. I want the div to stretch, but be at least as long as the page. Here is a simplification of my code as an example: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.contentdiv{
height: 100%;
width: 758px;
top: 0px;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #89a9c7;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-spacing: 5px;
bottom: auto;
}
.footerdiv
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
background-color: blue;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="contentdiv">

Similar TutorialsHello all. I am working on a sign on page that uses two divs nested in a table. I have a header above them, and a footer below, and I want the divs (which have a nice gradient background) to stretch all the way down to the footer, regardless of the amount of content. In a simplified format, I have: Code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height:100%; padding-top:20px; padding-bottom:20px; width:976px;" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="wrapper1" id="wrapper1" valign="top">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="100%" style="border:3px dotted black; height:100%;">
<table style="width:100%; height:100%;" border="1">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="height:100%;">
<xsl:call-template name="bodyContainerTemplate"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The tables stretch just fine. Where I am running into problems is in my bodyContainerTemplate. That template looks like: Code:
<!--bodyContainerTemplate-->
<div class="bgcolor1" style="width:976px; height:100%; border:2px solid;">
<div class="login_bg" style="height:100%;" id="login_bg">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" style="position:relative;">
<tr>
<td>
My content goes here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
For some reason, once it gets into the template, height:100%; doesn't work anymore, and the divs simply stretch big enough to make room for the content. What styles am I missing for those divs to be 100%? I have messed with: min-height height:auto, relative, etc. margin:0 and a few other things, none of which are seeming to make a difference. Thanks! Howcome: html, body { color: #06F; background-color: #000; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; width: 768px; } Doesn't center the page in the browser? How can I center it? Output example on my website here. I'm using this html: Code: <div id="titlebox">
<div id="title">
<img src="images/title.png" alt="Garden Pub & Grille" />.
</div>
</div>
with this css: Code: html, body {
font-family: Century Gothic;
text-align: center;
background-color: #DEF9FA;
height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
top: 0px;
position: relative;
}
body > #container {
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
}
#titlebox div {
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
min-width: 100%;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 64px;
z-index: 1000;
}
#title div {
width: 1000px;
background-color: black;
}
Trying to get a black bar across the top with an image centered in it. Problem is, when the page is smaller than the content and there is a horizontal scrollbar, the black bar only goes to the edge of the window, but when you scroll right, it dissapears and is cut off. I have a similar setup on the bottom of the page that works correctly (a table with links is inside that one). Why is this not working? Thanks. URL Image doesn't seem to be showing up, link: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5697/29946518.png For caching purposes and/or maximum performance would it be more beneficial to have the same large css document referenced in every page on my site or to have a much smaller different one referenced for each page in my site. example is at http://bluewebpages.com/arch.php I am fairly proficient at coding css and think it's about time to clean(organize) it all up, even though it does validate. Anyway I was wondering if someone could please help me with the overlap problem for the right (smaller) column. I want the entire main content of the page, the part before the footer, to extend down when there is more content to side, not just the left/main content side. EDIT: Fixed .. thanks! The `clear:both;` was what it needed Hi all, I have written a page with jsp and ajax to dynamically load page contents. I also added a hidden "processing.." message image with the following code: Code: <img src="<%=IMAGE_BASE_URL%>/processing-img.gif" id="processing" style="display:none;z-index:2;position:relative;top:250;right:-250"> this img tag was placed right after the <body> tag. When the user clicks on a link, I turned this css property to display:block so that it shows in the middle of the page. But strangely, when it is showing the processing message image, the entire page content after the <img> tag was shifted down a bit and showing an empty row! Does anybody know what's wrong with it? I've tried to change the display to inline using javascript but it still won't help... Any help would be appreciated..thanks.. 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. 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 Does anyone know how to set the height so it's 100% of the page size? Setting "height: 100%" doesn't seem to work. Thanks! #bottomLeft { position: absolute; height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; width: 175px; } Hi guys, I have a problem that really bugs me and I'm probably not seeing the super-easy simple solution that is certainly there. s369533597(dot)onlinehome(dot)us s369533597(dot)onlinehome(dot)us(slash)templates(slash)edison(slash)css(slash)template(dot)css and art.sheet is the tag. (site build on joomla 1.6) If your browser window will show more than 900px in height you'll see immediately my problem. the "body content" area will resize to the window height and not to the amount of content in it leaving a lot of blank space depending on the browser window height. I've tried all the min-height and height options and combinations but nothing really works. If I'll set up a particular height for that tag it will be OK for the home page but on any other page the overflow look awful. I just can't make it fluid. any advise? If you take a look here http://www.challengeyourdiet.com/login you may notice that the page does not go all the way down on big screens. I would like my footer to automatically fall to the bottom of the page no matter what screen size someone has. Any ideas? Thanks! Hi, I'm working on my homepage at www.wecook.co.uk and want the grey background to at least be big enough to fill the whole page on most resoultions - currently on my monitor (1280 x 1024) it ends and i get a white at the bottom of the page - could someone suggest how i can adjust my css to fix this? any help is appreciated. thanks I have 2 div columns on a web page, they are positioned using css... the right column is taller than the left column, but the left column does not expand to the full height of the right column... I require this, because the left column has a background color that I want to go right to the bottom of the page. I have height: 100%; in the css style for the left column, but that only makes it 1 screen high... does anyone know of a way to make it the full height of the other column, ie stretch? I have tried height: auto; but that doesnt work either. Hey everyone, I'm having troubles with some DIVs. I'm trying to divide a page into 4 equal sections. If I remove the doctype declaration, it looks right in Firefox 3.5.2 In ie it is all sorts of crazy. 100% height of the inner objects seems to be referencing the window height and not the parent elements height. I'm more concerned about Firefox anyway. I expect IE to require some hacks. If I set an absolute size to the body, in px, everything works fine. But if I have the body set to %, things shrink. I tried creating a wrapper div and setting it's height/width to 50% but that didn't work either. I tried to find a solution on kravvitz and bon rouge's sites but I didn't find anything that was 100% fluid. Any ideas?

I am looking for some examples on making this layout: ----------HEADER---------- nav content - - - - - - - - - - - - ----------FOOTER0--------- The page needs to be 100% the height of the browser window with header at top, footer at bottom and the content/nav being a minimum height of enough to fill the screen vertically and should be expandable. Anyone got any pointers? Hello, I have been working on this for over 2 days and learning plenty in the process. Yet, I have come to a roadblock. I need the footer, which is outside the main container, to extend to the height of the page. The problem is that the page height changes with each page, and will change in the future, as the info for the pages will be pulled from a database. Please have a look at the footer on my site and tell me what might be a good solution. Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/FriendsCSS2/index.php thanks -Sean Hey everyone. I've read this forum for a long time, and I've finally broken down and joined to seek help for my CSS problem. I cannot get my container to do what I want it to. I'm starting a new site for my family business, and I've uploaded one page for you to look at. I left the CSS code in the source in order to see. Basically, if there's too much content, the page background will not fill the screen as intended if the window is scrolled. If there's too little content, the background does fill the page, but most pages on my site will not be as such. I've also included the code below. Any help is appreciated!!

Greets, I'm trying to get the follwing collumns to display on the complete height of the element they are nested in. Each of the 3 collumns currently only take the space required by the content that is in said element. Preview: The current layout is set with 3 divs (2 left floating, and the bigger one on right-float). I don't want to use tables/cells and I cannot use min-height as the content will be filled by the customer using a CMS. I Wish i could use something like: Code:
#col_1 {height: parent.height;}
here is a link to the actual page, please note that to use the style i am talking about you will have to use the top left select element and choose GH_02 -v. (this is my 1st attempt to have the same content with multiple css sets...) alright I'm stumped so please please please help me out! I have a page that's 100% in height, and usually there's more information so you have to scroll down. but I can't seem to activate the scrollbar. I've tried overflow, messing with the height attribute, i have no idea how to solve this. my page: http://www.aapinboom.nl/luxeduinvil...ntroductie.html and this is the code: Code:
html,body {
background-image: url('../images/bg.gif');
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
font-size: 13px;
height: 100%;
}
#center {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#container {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 600px;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid #B8B8B8;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: left;
}
thanks for any suggestions! |
