CSS - Specifying A Percentage Height For A Div

I think this is more of a css problem than php thats why its here

I can get percentage bars to work without text on them, but not with text, the bar is either pushed below the text, or the text is pushed onto 3-4 lines, depending on how wide the bar is

So far i have:

The php
PHP Code:
 $poke[] = '<div class="percentage">
        <span style="position:relative;">'.$text.' ('.round($per, 2).'%)</span>
        <div class="perc" style="width:'.$per.'%;"></div>
    </div>'."\n"; 





the css
Code:

.percentage {
	background-color:#800000;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	border: 1px solid #000;
	height:15px;
	font-size:10px;
	z-index:2;
}

.perc {
	visibility:visible;
	height:15px;
	z-index:3;
	background-color:#000; 
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}

This is how it looks with that code

Good morning.

I'm in the procces of changing my old table based site to css/ divs layout. Instead of using a "position: absolute" setup, I was trying to get the page to fit dynamicaly with different screen resolution (I placed the initial divs with "left: 20%;" and "right:20%;" which seems to work fine in FF, but fails completely in IE). So, in the end I had to resort to fixed positions and sizes... not what I wanted... but it'll do in the meantime (Until I find the propper tutorials to get this done).

Meantime, I have a problem with two small divs I'm trying to place at the center and bottom of the page. They do display at the right position with FF, but are placed on the left with IE.

text-align: center doesn't seem to do the trick... and since the "align" tag is going to be deprecated... I don't want to use it. How do I set these to be placed in the bottom/center?


The page: http://www.onpoi.net/ah/

(Note that only the index.php has been redone, the rest is still with the old table layout).

Thanks in advance

I hope I can explain this in a way that makes sense. I have a table layout where the number of columns is variable (sometimes it can have 1 column, sometimes it can have up to 9 columns), depending on what data is filled out on a previous form.

The code in question:

Code:

<tr>
	<td>
		<div style="float: left; width: 13px"><img src="arrow.gif"></div>
		<div style="float: left; width: 93%;">My explanatory text goes here!</div>
	</td>
	<td>
		Column 2 Text
	</td>
	<td>
		Column 3 Text (and so on)
	</td>
</tr>

The two divs there need to float next to each other -- the first div is a little 13x13 arrow, the second div is some explanatory text. I can not just float the image left (and not put the text in a div), because the client wants the text to be left aligned in the div, not wrapping around the image.

The issue: If there are less than 5 or 6 columns, it works beautifully. If you put more columns in there, then the second div appears below the first div. I've been fiddling with the widths on the second div, but it has to be a percentage (not a set number of pixels), because the number of columns is variable (as is the width of those columns).

How can I make the columns float next to each other regardless of the width of the table cell that they are within? Any help is appreciated.

I have a left div which is fixed let is say 400px and the right div should extend to the edge of the screen. How can i get it to extend.

If i don't give any width to the right div:
The right div has other dives which has got dotted bottom border, these dotted border will not extend to the end

any ideas?

cheers

Hi,

First off, I've tried a quick search to see if anyone else has posted this problem, but didn't come up with anything. So, if I am repeating, apologies :-)

Anyway, I've got a problem that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. It's probably quite simple, but my CSS is a bit hit and miss ;-)

Anyway, firstly, here's the CSS:

Code:

body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background: #FFFFFF url(images/img01.gif) repeat-x;
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #8E959B;
}

#header {
	width: 100%;
	height: 225px;
	margin: auto;
	padding: 12px 0 0 0;
}

#logo {
	float: left;
	width: 208px;
	height: 208px;
	margin: 0px 0 0 14px;
	padding: 0 15px 0 0;
	border: 3px solid #EB850C;
}

#logo h1 {
	padding: 120px 0 0 0;
	text-align: center;
	letter-spacing: -3px;
	font-size: 2em;
	font-weight: normal;
}

#logo h2 {
	margin-top: -10px;
	text-align: center;
	font-size: medium;
}

#logo a {
	text-decoration: none;
	text-transform: lowercase;
}

#logo a:hover {
	color: #990000;
}


#splash {
             position: absolute;
             left: 250px;
            margin-right: 10px;
            top: 100px;
            border: 3px solid #EB850C;
            width: 73%;
            max-width: 73%;
            height: 115px;
} 

#menu {
	float: right;
	padding: 0 0 0 0;
}

#menu ul {
	height: 55px;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 41px 0;
	list-style: none;
}

#menu li {
	display: inline;
}

#menu a {
	border: 3px solid #EB850C;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	width: 80px;
	height: 22px;
	padding-top: 12px;
	text-align: center;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-transform: lowercase;
	letter-spacing: -1px;
	font-size: 1em;
}

#menu a:hover, #menu .active a {
	color: #FFFFFF;
}

And the HTML:

Code:

<body>

<div id="header">
	<div id="logo">
		<h1><a href="#">Company Logo Image</h1>
		<h2></a></h2>
	</div>
	<div id="menu">
	        <ul>
		<li ><a href="#">About</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">News</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Careers</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Calendar</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
	       </ul>
	</div>
	<div id="splash">This is the page heading montage image</div>
	</div>
</div>
</body>

The problem is, I need the splash div to resize depending on the width of the screen. The idea being a cheat so depending on different resolutions, the different the size of the div and with a background-image set, the image will appear to expand/contract depending on the width of the screen. It's gonna be a repeating montage image. If the window is over, say, 80% wide, then it works fine. Thing is, if you shrink the width of the window past about 80%, then the div starts to go off the right hand side of the screen...

Hopefully I've made myself reasonably clear?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

IE seems to have a lot of trouble with percentage based heights. In certain circumstances they seem to be okay, other times they seem be completely ignored. Pixel based DIV heights seem to work, but I don't know if it is just the circumstance or what not. Does anyone know what the actual "rules" are about this as it applies to IE?

I'm doing a 2 column layout via css (my first attempt at doing full css layout) and I'm having some problems in firefox getting it to work right.

Code:

#navBar{
  	float: left;
	width: 20%;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	background-color: #eeeeee;
	border-right: 1px solid #0163CB;
}


#content{
	width: 80%;
	float:left;
}

then my divs are as follows:
<div id=navBar>
     stuff
</div>
<div id=content>
     more stuff
</div>

The problem is that in firefox the top of content sits directly to the bottom and left of the end of navBar . If I set conent width to 78% it seems to be fine but it there are borders inside content that i want to take up 100% of the remaining page.

Thanks
Dave

I'm wondering if it's possible to combine fixed pixel width borders and percentage width?

I know I can do this...
Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<style>
	.div1
	{
		float: left;
		width: 50%;
		background: green;
	}
	
	.div2
	{
		float: left;
		width: 48%;
		background: red;
		padding: 1%;
	}
</style>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
	<div class='div1'>
		test
	</div>
	<div class='div2'>
		test
	</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>

But what I'd like to be able to do is specify a padding of 10px on div2 without breaking the layout. Is this possible with the w3c box model?

I have added a percentage padding to some cells of my website (I'm really obliged to use tables and cells for that part of my website, so please do not suggest replacing the cells to DIVs as a solution). For some odd reason, the percentage padding shows just fine with Opera or Internet Explorer, but does not work at all in Firefox. Here is my CSS (and in dark red bold, the percentage padding concerned):

Quote:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #ffffff;
font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}
a:link, a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ff0000;
}
a:active, a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #ff0000;
}
form {
margin: 0px;
}
img {
border: 0px;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
#top {
background: url(../images/top.jpg);
height: 100px;
}
#bar {
background: url(../images/bar.jpg);
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 26px;
width: 100%;
}
#bar1 {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 0px;
background: url(../images/bar1.jpg);
height: 26px;
width: 4px;
}
#bar2 {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
right: 0px;
background: url(../images/bar2.jpg);
height: 26px;
width: 4px;
}
.bar4 {
font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10px;
width: 200px;
}
.bar5 {
font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10px;
height: 18px;
}
a.nav:link, a.nav:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
}
a.nav:active, a.nav:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #ffffff;
}
img.top {
height: 100px;
width: 395px;
}
td.bar1 {
padding-left: 6%;
}
td.bar2 {
padding-right: 6%;
}
td.bar3 {
padding-left: 1.4%;
}
And here is the HTML (in bold again the place concerned):

Quote:
<?$page='';?><?include'body/head.txt';?>

<div id="top">
<img src="images/top1.jpg" class="top" alt=""/></div><div id="bar1"></div><div id="bar2"></div>


<table id="bar">
<tr>
<td class="bar1">
<a href="index.php" class="nav">Index</a> | <a
href="forums.php" class="nav">Forums</a>
</td><td align="right" class="bar2"><form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="domains" value="xander6669.com"/></td>
<td><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" checked="checked"/></td><td>Le Web</td>
<td class="bar3"><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="xander6669.com"/></td><td>A Labrie.com</td>
<td class="bar3"><input type="text" class="bar4" name="q" maxlength="200"/></td>
<td class="bar3"><input type="submit" class="bar5" value="Rechercher"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body></html>
So, anyone knows what the problem is? If you want to view how this thing looks like in Opera/IE/Firefox, just go the http://xander6669.com/.

Thanks for any help.

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.

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?

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:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</html>

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>

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
