CSS - Css Div Layout 100% Height Problem
I have spent the last two hours trying to fix this problem and it's driving me crazy. I've searched all over google and found all kinds of other height problems but none that are mine. Please help, before I go crazy.
The problem: I have a 3 column layout that is set to 100% height with background images for each of the columns that stretches to fill the browser window vertically. It does this beautifully so long as the content that actually fills the columns is smaller than the height of the browser window. The moment you make the browser window smaller than the content in any of the columns and scroll down, the background only stretches in the column with the content. The other two are left shorter and the background stops at literally the height of the browser window only. I'm sure this is most likely a common problem and there's something I just am missing. I'm primarily a designer and I'm still learning CSS so please excuse the fact that my grasp of CSS is still very limited. I don't have the site up yet because I'm still building the code, so I can't provide a link but this is what my code looks like: The HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked)"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>TC</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <ul id="menu"> <li><img src="img/menu_top.png" /></li> <li><a class="menuhome" href="index.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menushowcase" href="showcase.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menuaboutus" href="aboutus.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menuservices" href="services.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menucontactus" href="contactus.html"></a></li> <li><img src="img/menu_bottom.png" /></li> </ul> <div id="main"> <img src="img/top.png" /><br /><br /> </div> <div id="right_strip"></div> </div> </body> </html> The CSS: Code: body {

Similar TutorialsHello 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 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 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">

Please take a look at the following page. its a simple two column layout http://www.aptlogix.com/testcss.html I need to have both divs side by side of same height independent of the contents in them. how can i stretch the right yellow backgroudn to the full length of the page ?. the yellow color is displayed till the height of the page when i scroll the page the rest of the bottom is white. i have tried that min-height thing with it but no luck. Please advice Regards, DQ 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? This seems like it should be very easy to do but something is preventing it from working. I was following the guide at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins but with my navigation column on the left. A summary of my layout right now is: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> <div id="navigation" <div id="navlist"> </div> </div> <div id="clearing"> </div> </div> my css: #container { float: right; margin-left: -16.8em; width: 100%; background-color: #2586d7; } #navigation { float: left; width: 14em; background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #wrapper { background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #navlist is a div containing a styled ul for navigation. #clearing { clear: both; height: 0; } So basically the navigation div is supposed to extend to the bottom as far as the container div goes. According to the guide at AListApart it should be working but is something else in my code interfereing? If everything above should work fine, I can post a link to the test file so you can see the rest of the code. Thanks for any help! Having coded using tables for the past 5 years, I'm coding my first site using pure CSS (hold back the laughter) ... I'm new to change. In any case ... I'm attempting to setup a homepage that has a fixed width and height. So far I've got a one-column header working fine. Beneath the one-column header I wish to have three columns with--dare I say it Web 2.0ish rounded corner cells--However the caveat is that these three cells need to all be a fixed height to go along with the page design. After two days of research, coffee, banging my head against my desk, I haven't been able to figure this one out. I am using an image at the top of each cell and an image at the bottom of each cell, but cannot get the cells to maintain a specific height. Any help would be appreciated: CSS: Code: /*<agl.folder "general">*/

Hello, Below is css I am trying to get to work and use as a template for a two column , header, and footer layout. I can get by with css, but an not a designer so can't figure out the exact specifics on how to do this. I've looked at many sites, make examples, javascripts included, but either they are to hard to fit into what I am looking for or just cause me to hit my head against the wall. I'm trying to get the left columns background to fill height 100% to the footer. The content's doesn't need it because the wrapper's background act's as its color. Also, if either column's height changes past the screen's height. I need the footer to move down too. Currently, I tested if the left-column and the main content goes past the screen's height it will just go past the footer. This works beacuse the css I have currently is making sure that the footer is always at the bottom. Code: <html >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
html {
overflow-y: scroll; /* forces firefox scrollbar on */
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

font: 100% Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
height: 100%;
}
/* text-align: center; is so that the content will float in the center*/
div.wrapper {

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance. Risso I deleted the other posting as it take too long to work on it and it doesn't work. So, I got the other code from google search and decided to use it. There, I rearrange, redo, customzie the scripts to make it work better. Now I have one problem. See the class "wrapper" that make use of the height. I when I have it set at 100%, the footer extend too far down and the vertical scroll bar appear at the right. This is not what I want. I figure maybe it's because of the float that the browser doesn't know the real height of the header and footer. Can anyone help? I would really apppreciated it. Code:

Thanks, FletchSOD Hello, im trying to make Fixed width 3 columns (each column have fixed width) layout 100% height with header and footer. -Well I see alot of examples around the web, but i dont see complete one and im really tired of searching, i made the Fixed width 3 comlumns layout, left and right are absolute position, and center is relative to the header -the problem is that all columns dont fill the whole height of the browser windows, the footer doesnot work good. so the whole thing is missed up, so please show 100% working example of what i need. Thanks in Advanced Samer Hi, I have a multi-column layout where I want every column to always be the same height. Any one of the columns may be the longest on any given page, so the other columns have to automatically adjust to match that height. Usually I'd just use the faux column technique where you repeat a background image, but that won't work because of two elements on this page: 1. each column has a border all the way around it. 2. one column resizes with the page. I've read the articles on liquid layouts with faux columns, but as far as I can tell those techniques won't work if your columns have borders. Does anyone know any technique that would work here? Thanks. Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... Okay so I essentially have 3 divs. #header #body #footer header will ALWAYS be 60px footer will ALWAYS be 20px I would like body to fill 100% of the remaining space no matter what, with no scrollbars showing. Is this even possible? I had gotten it to work in FF and then saw IE7 was a no go. I did something conceptually like this Code:
<div id="container">
<table>
<tr>
<td><div id="header"</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height=100%>
<div id="body"></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="bottom"><div id="footer"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
in CSS, the HTML, BODY, #body, and #container are set to 100% height I am trying to display some data from a mysql file in a spreadsheet format. The first column of data displayed is boolean so I want to show it as a check box, which requires defining a form. When I do this is it increases the row height on the screen, regardess of what I set the height to in the css file. If I take out the form column, it respects the row height setting in the css file. Any thoughts on why the form overrides the row setting and how to fix it? PHP Code: <tr class="firstrow"> <td class="colDone"> <form class="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <input <?php if ($row_rsList['isDone']) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox" disabled="disabled" /> </form> </td> <td class="colItem"><?php echo $row_rsList['taskitem']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_rsList['taskpriority']; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row_rsList['taskcategory']; ?></td> <td><?php echo date("m-d-Y",strtotime($row_rsList['taskduedate'])); ?></td> </tr> from css file: tr.firstrow { background-color:#FFFFCC; height: 20px; } I'm beginning to convert my site from HTML tables to CSS divs. I am having problems with two of my image borders, both on the left and right side of my layout. Neither of the borders stretch to the bottom of the page. The left border stretches to the height of the content in the current DIV. The right border doesn't appear at all. How do I make to borders stretch to the bottom of the page? CSS version: http://www.depiction.net/layoutsliced.php HTML version I'm trying to match: http://www.depiction.net/?id=tutorials The problem is that it seems to be making a 10px scrollbar that I just can't seem to get rid of. I've tried all sorts of things to get rid of the scrollbar and none of them seem to work. Can anyone give me a helpful hand or some pointers? This is my first go at a fully css xhtml document.
