CSS - Expanding Page With Browser
I have made a style sheet and an html homepage. I want everything to expand with the browser and I want the <div> tags .
1) How can you center the css style sheet. Like I have the background, then I have <div> tags that display the header, content areas and footer. I want the header content areas and footer centered in the browser and also to expand with the browser if it is made smaller or larger. If you need the code let me know. Similar TutorialsHello, Is there a way to stop an expanding page at a certain width? But yet keep the expanding feature? Right now as you can see from the below website that I am working on the page contracts and the images of course stay at there minimum width but the rest of the page keeps contracting...I don't like it doing that. Any ideas? web.bpro.com/agagency/index.htm I'm having a serious brain fart here...I must have come across this issue a million times before but I guess I haven't thought about it for so long, that I'm at a loss.... Very simply, I want to have a horizontal menu using text (ie not images) that will fill to fit the width of the page. Now I'd want to make there be a min-width and I can do that, but there's got to be a way to have the padding between the items adjust depending on how wide the browser is, right? And I should be able to do this with CSS and not have to use tables right? In other words, the width of the individual menu items will remain the same, but in a browser that's say 800px wide the space between the first item will be very near the left side of the page, and the last item will be very near the right side of the page and the items will be spaced evenly between them. But if the page is 1200px wide, the first and last items will still be very left and very right, but the spacing in between the rest of them will be bigger so that it fills the page width. ?????????/ 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: div#case { position:absolute; z-index:1; top:200px; left:50px; bottom:50px; right:50px; background:url(/assets/images/tile.png) repeat; } div#tlcorner span, div#trcorner span, div#blcorner span, div#brcorner span, div#lftile span, div#rttile span, div#tptile span, div#btmtile span { width:0; height:0; overflow:hidden; display:block; } div#tlcorner { position:absolute; z-index:10; top:0; left:0; background:url(/assets/images/corners.png) -369px 0 no-repeat; width:123px; height:123px; } div#trcorner { position:absolute; z-index:10; top:0; right:0; background:url(/assets/images/corners.png) -246px 0 no-repeat; width:123px; height:123px; } div#blcorner { position:absolute; z-index:10; bottom:0; left:0; background:url(/assets/images/corners.png) 0 0 no-repeat; width:123px; height:123px; } div#brcorner { position:absolute; z-index:10; bottom:0; right:0; background:url(/assets/images/corners.png) -123px 0 no-repeat; width:123px; height:123px; } div#lftile { position:absolute; z-index:5; top:0; left:0; bottom:0; background:url(/assets/images/lr.png) -20px 0 repeat-y; width:20px; } div#rttile { position:absolute; z-index:5; top:0; right:0; bottom:0; background:url(/assets/images/lr.png) 0 0 repeat-y; width:20px; } div#tptile { position:absolute; z-index:5; top:0; right:0; left:0; background:url(/assets/images/tb.png) 0 0 repeat-x; height:123px; } div#btmtile { position:absolute; z-index:5; bottom:0; right:0; left:0; background:url(/assets/images/tb.png) 0 -123px repeat-x; height:123px; } div#case div.content { position:absolute; z-index:10; width:100%; min-height:400px; overflow:hidden; } div#case div.content h1 { font-family: "Times New Roman", serif, sans-serif, Arial; font-size:16px; color:#000000; margin:5px 0; padding:100px 0 0 100px; text-align:left; text-transform:capitalize; } div#case div.content p { font-family: "Times New Roman", serif, sans-serif, Arial; font-size:14px; color:#000000; text-align:justify; padding:0 100px; } HTML Code: <body> <div id="header"> <h1 class="small">GamerUnion</h1> <h2 class="small">For Gaming Addicts by Gaming Addicts.</h2> </div> <div id="case"> <div id="tlcorner"><span>top left corner</span></div> <div id="trcorner"><span>top right corner</span></div> <div id="blcorner"><span>bottom left corner</span></div> <div id="brcorner"><span>bottom right corner</span></div> <div id="tptile"><span>top side tile</span></div> <div id="lftile"><span>left side tile</span></div> <div id="rttile"><span>right side tile</span></div> <div id="btmtile"><span>bottom side tile</span></div> <div class="content"> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="/" class="current">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="/forum/">Forum</a></li> <li><a href="/resources.html">Resources</a></li> <li><a href="/contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <h1>Gamerunion</h1> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> <p>Text text text text</p> </div> </div> </body> The link below looks perfect in ie8. However the div for #maincontent and the div for #footer do not align correctly in >ie8, FF or Chrome. All edges should be touching with no gray background showing through. As I'm sure you can tell, I started with a Dreamweaver template, could the code or comments the application adds could be causing the problem. ht tp://w ww.wildsheep.org/jhg/footer/new/ Thanks in advance!! -yankinmyhairout Hi guys, I've been working on my CSS for a short while now. I'm attempting to get a "layout" for my site that I can work with, and I thought that a table-less layout was the way to go. I had a few problems initially with CSS and posted some code on here, and was lucky enough to get the help of an expert. He pointed out that I needed Doctypes, character sets and so on and helped me get started. I spent a "bit" of time at work doing a bit more to the page and was really pleased with the result - see attachment. I know it is currently quite crude (and the colours are appauling!) but it's practice. I then took my work home and opened it on my computer, and it has fallen apart AGAIN. I cannot believe that it can look so different in the SAME browser on different computers. At home I am using IE 6.0.2900... on WinXP SP2 At work I am using IE 5.50 on Windows 2000 SP4 I am getting so frustrated that everything in CSS seems to involve having little "extra bits" here and there to make work in each browser (or the same browser, different versions!), when the whole idea was to reduce coding and make life easier. I know that I have not posted any code, which could make helping me out difficult....but just by looking at the images below, does it look like I need a simple "hack" (whatever they are!) - ChiefWigs spoke about using an <! IF IE... comment to help out. Or should I look at just reducing everything by a pixel or two to make it fit...and just accept that gaps will be slightly larger on other browsers? It might be worth noting that I am using absolute dimensions (px) for the panels and menu holders...but relative widths (em) for things like the hyperlink boxes... I'm getting really depressed about the whole CSS thing, its already putting me off continuing to learn . If anyone could offer me help I would be very grateful. Regards, Porky I have my site centred in the browser window, yet if you resize the window (as if emulating 800 x 600 or smaller) then the scroll bar appears on the right as it should. But the web page has the top section cut off and is not accessible, is this my code? or is this because of the size of the web site? The page can be viewed he http://www.spanishguitar.co.uk If you make your height of your browser window smaller, you will see that the top of the site gets cut off. How can I fix this? My css for this is: Code: #PageDiv { position:absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; width: 770px; height: 600px; margin-top: -300px; /* half of the height */ margin-left: -385px; /* half of the width */ border: 1px solid #000; } Hello, I have my XHTML code in CSS to insert an image at the top like this: Code: <div id="award"> <img src="images/award.gif" alt="Year Award" /> </div> #award { position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 400px; z-index: 99; } When I resize my browser this image just changes its position and moves across the page. And all my content is set to auto margin on left and right. How do I make it fix into a position and wont change during resizing or the browser? Link to site If you view the page in FF, the main page (General Information) doesnt extend all the way to the bottom of the browser. I think it's lacking text, because if you visit the other pages, it works fine. This works regardless under IE. I'm stumped! Hi, Here's the site I'm working with: http://www.cjfusion.com I want to get that image centered on the browser window and then depending on how big the viewers screen is, the browser will cover up the left and the right. I hope that makes sense. I almost want it to be fluid, but I'm unsure how to do that. Ask questions if this doesnt make sense. Its hard to explain. -CJ Bear with me please. I am brand new to html/CSS etc... I just cobbled together a page a few days ago using someone elses code as a reference, I hardly know what I did or how it works, but it works just like I want it to - Background centered and stationary (no scrolling with content), but the content does scroll, with NO horizontal scroll bar. You can view it he bit(dot)ly/rbsZsH - THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY OTHER PAGE TO DO Ok, so feeling smug, I tried to do another one like it, without the sidebar/header, etc... For the most part it works, EXCEPT - I have an unexpected horizontal scroll bar that goes about 50% across the browser and allows the user to pull the content off-center across the background. I have nearly pulled my hair out trying to fix it and put a hidden message under the content just for fun.. (make lemonade when you get lemons, right?) You can view second page he bit(dot)ly/qMbYl2 - THIS IS THE GOOFY PAGE The only real clue I have is that the first page is set to 780px wide and has this comment in the container div: /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */ My second page container div is set to 802px because I am using an image from Photoshop rather than a background color. Thank you if any of you can shed light on the situation. P.S. - I'm sure I've totally butchered the code, and you can assume when you answer that I can cut and paste but not really understand what you are saying. Hello, I'm new to CSS. I've been developing a website in PHP. I have a report that is meant to be printed. It is formated for printing. However, if the user doesn't have his/her browser print page margins set to a max of 0.25in then some of the printed area will get clipped off. Can CSS be used to control these margins on the page? I've been looking into this and have been lead to the media = "print" area. However, it only seems to be controling the webpage's body margins and not the browser's print page setup margins. I've gotten to the point of using the following style code on my page, but now I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; } body,td,th { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; } body { margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .style4 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; } .style15 {font-size: 10pt} .style21 {font-size: 18pt} .style24 {font-size: 24pt} .style25 {font-size: 16pt} .style28 {font-size: 12pt} --> </style> <link href="file:///C|/Webs/ures/k058_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <style type="text/css" media="print"> <!-- .style19 {font-size: 14pt} .style29 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; } .style22 {font-size: 9pt} .style23 {font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;} .styleprint { margin: 0in 0in 0in 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin-left: 0in; } --> </style> I added the ".styleprint" style to the page only to try and control the browser's print page setup margins. What you see above are actually two attempts to do this. Like I said above the margin settings seem to only be contoling the margins on the displayed page and not the browser's print page setup margins. How can I control the browser's print page setup margins? CAN I control the browser's print page setup margins? If I cannot, what do you do to make sure that the user can print a "printer formated" page with the correct margins? Thanks, Paul My first post.... ok... First I would like to say THANK YOU to anyone who has time to bestow some knowledge to me on what I am sure is a highly noob-esqe situation. I would also like to say that I have thoroughly search this and other forums for my issue, unfortunately I dont think I understand CSS or any web design enough to comprehend the solutions given. I think this may require someone with the knowledge I lack to come down to my level... if you can bend that low.. and walk me thru layman term-style. Again thanks in advance for anytime spent helping out. That being said I was recently trying to jazz up my website that is hosted by a certain music community. I do a decent amount of business thru this site so I wanted to step up the interface a little and get away from using the standard page setup they give you. They do offer the option to edit CSS to construct your own for a little more customization. I jumped in, and after a few days of struggling, I got it looking how I wanted it. I was excited until I realized it looked different on almost every computer i visited the site on. My Background is fine, but the links to paypal and other content is all over the place(e.g. song player, twitter link, buttons) I have tweaked and tweaked, but have not been able to remedy this apparently common problem due to my lack of knowledge and experience. My only hope is to post the coding here and have a Smart Guy/Girl guide me in the right direction. I hope Im not asking too much guys... here goes (I know I can post my url here, how can I redirect you guys to veiw my site??) /********* SoundClick CSS Template (based on custom version Mon, Sep 28 2009) ***********/ Quote: /* general */ body {background: url((MyBGJPEGforbackground)); margin:0px;} body,div,tr,td,select,textarea,input,option {font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px;} a, a:link, a:visited {color:white; text-decoration:none;} a:hover {color:#ff0000; text-decoration:underline;} .pageFooter {clear:both; color:gray; padding:1px 0px 50px 20px;} .infoBox {width:650px; margin:50px auto; background:white; color:black; border:silver solid 1px; padding:30px; font-size:14px;} /* hardly used, its for error messages to user */ .infoBox .quotes {margin:20px; border:#4b4b4b dashed 1px; font-style:italic; padding:10px; background:;} /* main containers */ .mainTable {background: url((MainTableBGPicWentHere)) ; color:#999999; width:750px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center;} .mainContent {background:url(/images/siteNav/transbgblocks/black/bg_0.png); color:#999999; width:725px; float:left; overflow:hidden; margin:0px 0px 20px 5px;} /* IE6 doesnt support our preferred overflow:visible */ /* left navigation */ .navigation {background:url(/images/siteNav/transbgblocks/black/bg_0.png); color:white; width:300px; float:left; overflow:hidden; margin:10px 0px 20px 0px;} .navigation a:link, .navigation a:visited {color:#999999;} .navigation a:hover {color:#ffffff;} .navigationDivider {height:6px; line-height:6px; border-bottom:#232323 dashed 1px; margin-bottom:6px;} /* general elements */ .headline {background:transparent; color:transparent; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:transparent dashed 0px; border-top:transparent solid 0px; padding:330px 1px 50px 50px;} .headlineBig {font-size:22px; font-weight:normal;} .headlineSuppl {float:right; margin:0px 0px 0px 100px; color:#666666; font-size:11px; font-weight:normal;} /* for text/links on the right side of main headline (e.g. song count on main page) */ .headlineSuppl a:link, .headlineSuppl a:visited {color:#666666; text-decoration:none;} .headlineSuppl a:hover {color:black; text-decoration:underline;} .pageturner {background:; color:#cccccc; border:#4b4b4b solid 1px; text-align:right; padding:10px; font-size:13px; font-weight:normal;} /* pages menu (previous, next..), e.g. on music page, message board */ .pageturner .nonactive {color:#666666;} .pageturner a:link, .pageturner a:visited {color:#cccccc; text-decoration:none;} .pageturner a:hover {color:#ff0000; text-decoration:underline;} .listedPicsBox {border:#4b4b4b solid 1px; width:114px; height:160px; overflow:hidden; padding:2px 1px 4px 1px; margin:0px 4px 10px 4px; float:left; font-size:11px; text-align:center;} .listedPics {width:110px; height:125px; background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin:2px 0px 4px 0px; overflow:hidden} .breaker {height:1px; line-height:1px; clear:both} /* general color and font assets */ .color_supplemental {color:#666666;} /* used e.g. for song pages comments count */ .alternateBG0 {background:none;} /* used as background colors for comments */ .alternateBG1 {background:none;} /* alternate color */ /* main page (the default entry page) */ .mainContent .contHeadline {clear:left; font-size:16px; color:#cccccc; padding:1px 0px 2px 20px;} /* interview questions */ .mainContent .contText {clear:left; padding-left:15px;} .mainContent .contInterview {clear:left; padding-left:30px;} .mainContent .newsBox {clear:both; background:transparent; color:white; border:transparent solid 0px; margin:6px 20px 0px 20px; padding:100px;} /* main page: video box (different from video page) */ .videoBox_mainPage {padding:5px; margin:0px 100px 20px 100px;} .videoBox_mainPage .video {padding:5px; margin-bottom:10px;} .videoBox_mainPage .title {font-size:15px; text-align:center; margin-bottom:3px;} .videoBox_mainPage .shareLinks {float:right; padding:2px; border-bottom:#4b4b4b dashed 1px;} .videoBox_mainPage .labels {color:#666666; width:100px; padding-right:20px; text-align:right; float:left;} .videoBox_mainPage .info {padding-left:120px;} .videoBox_mainPage a:link, .videoBox_mainPage a:visited {font-size:13px; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none;} .videoBox_mainPage a:hover {text-decoration:underline;} /* main page: upcoming shows */ .liveshowsBox {background:#cccccc; color:#000000; width:300px; margin:15px 2px 15px 10px; float:right; clear:right;} .liveshowsItems {padding:4px 0px 0px 0px; font-size:11px; clear:both;} .liveshowsBox a:link, .liveshowsBox a:visited {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;} .liveshowsBox a:hover {color:#666666; text-decoration:underline; cursorointer;} /* main page: standard song box on artist page (only this song box or the embedded player is used.

However, the menu bar displays about 10 pixels lower in Firefox than it does in IE. <a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">Link</a> I checked the margins, padding but can not seem to find a way to get the menu to display at the same position in both browsers. Any guidance is very appreciated. thanks. going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE.. Black Background Not Stoping!! 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. 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 You can see the problem he BrianRoyer.com The google adsense ad is expanding past the container.

I have used basic CSS before, but it gets abit harder when i start making boxes etc. Here is my code so far - layout.css - (one that gets included on each page) Code: @import "style.css"; body { margin:10px 10px 0px 10px; padding:0px; } #leftcontent { position: absolute; left:10px; top:50px; width:200px; background:#fff; border:1px solid #000; } #centercontent { background:#fff; margin-left: 199px; margin-right:199px; border:1px solid #000; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; margin-left: 201px; margin-right:201px; } #shoutbox { position: absolute; right:10px; top:50px; width:200px; background:#fff; border:1px solid #000; } #rightcontent { position: absolute; right:10px; top:50px; width:200px; background:#fff; border:1px solid #000; } #banner, #footer { background:#fff; height:40px; border-top:1px solid #000; border-left:1px solid #000; border-right:1px solid #000; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; height:39px; } #footer { background:#fff; height:40px; border-bottom:1px solid #000; border-left:1px solid #000; border-right:1px solid #000; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; height:39px; } #banner h1 { font-size:16px; padding:10px 10px 0px 10px; margin:0px; } #shoutbox, #rightcontent p { font-size:10px } style.css - text formatting etc. Code: body { font: 12px/1.2 Tahoma; background:#ddd; padding:0px; margin:0px; } a { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; color:#c00; } pre { font-size:11px; color:blue; } ol { margin-right:40px; } li { margin-bottom:10px; } p,h1,pre { margin:0px 10px 10px 10px; } h1 { font-size:14px; padding-top:10px; } it produces a good layout, with a header, 3 coloums and a footer. whoever, the boxes expand at different rates and the footer doesnt move down. the header also doesnt expand. i know how i can fix this, but i dont know how to fix it without making it so that its locked at a resolution. i would like the site to exapand as the window is made larger. here is an image of what i get - and this is what i am aiming to acheive - as you can see, i want all the boxes to be the same length, which is defined by the size of the largest box. also, i want to create 2 or more boxes on the left, only the bottom of which gets made longer. on the first image you cannot see the extra box because it is covered by the other one :-/ i would be greatful for any help you guys can provide me thanks, dynamyt Hi all, I have a site where I have several divs that stack on top of each other for layout purposes and they fill the entire width of the screen. In the div that contains the content, I'm finding a rare case where a table appears that's so wide, it is off the edge of the content element. I wanted to do overflow:auto so that it wouldn't mess up the layout but the customer wants the layout to expand with the content. Since all these divs sit on top of each, they aren't really interacting with the div that has the content in it. Is the only way to make those expand to use JavaScript to detect the width and adjust on the fly or is there a better way to do it? I'll be happy to supply some code if you all need me to but its a lot so I'll hold off on that for now. |
