CSS - How To Expand Wrapper To Fit Content?
Hey guys,
I have been working on this for weeks and it is driving me nuts. I am trying to get the wrapper to expand to accomodate the content, but for some reason it wont expand. Any ideas? Here is the link: h$$p://digitallife.us/tutorials-t.html Thanks, Daniel Similar TutorialsI have nested my content divs within a centered wrapper div. the wrapper div is controlled by an external css file. when content is added to the nested divs they grow outside of the wrapper div. is there a way to force the wrapper to grow with the content like tables do? The CSS: #wrapper { margin-top: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; position: relative; width: 760px; background-color: #FFFFCC; left: auto; right: auto; height: 400px; z-index: 1; } The HTML: (attached) hello genius people... please help this designer move more toward css after years of tables and images... I have a prob with ie 5 and 6 [not sure on 7] showing the content of a scrolling div outside of a containing frame. http://jodihelmer.com/portfolio.html and http://jodihelmer.com/journal.html the content in the scrolling frame shows up outside of the centered content. one possible fix I came up with is to increase the size of the divs at the edge and give them a background color. this seems to work. but, I also need to hide the content to thetop and left of the frame as well. is there a way to keep these divs within the centered wrapper while allowing them to expand to go to the edge of the browser window's relative size? or is there a better way to do this altogether? thanks so much. s Hey guys. I've gotten awesome help here before, so I decided to come back. Here is the web page I am trying to change (note-far from done. Don't laugh too hard): http://metroairvirtual.org/pilot_profile.php?pilot=1645 If you scroll down to "My Career History," you'll notice that (for example, the very first row of the table), it says "Email address updated from," and doesn't continue with the rest of the statement (gets cut off). I want to make it so I can scroll horizontally to view the whole statement by scrolling. I was successful by using the white-space: nowrap and then overflow-x: scroll. While that allowed me to do what I wanted, the actual DIV doesn't continue with the content, as shown in the shots below. Do you guys have any idea on how I can make the div style fill the scroll space? I can't really do a fixed width because history content varies from member to member and it is shorter/longer than others. Thanks for any help you can offer! If you need used code below that's fine, but I assume you can just use FireBug to inspect it. Thanks again! I searched for something I want but I didn't find exactly that, or maibe something is wrong but in IE the page does not look ok. What I want is to have my page looks identical in IE as in FF or OPERA. I will explain here how I done the code PHP Code: <td rowspan="2" width="600" align="left" height="100%" valign="top" > <div class="brand_list_big"> <div class="box_header" style="background-color:#79B602;">CARS LISTED BY BRANDS</div> <div class="box_content" style="width:560px;"> <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Audi</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 2</span></div> <div class="car_list"> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">audi tt</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">Saturn Sky Roadster</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> </div> ... <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Alfa-Romeo</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 0</span></div> ... div.box_header { width: 99,5%; margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } div.box_content { margin: 0 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; height: 100%; scrollbar-face-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-highlight-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color:#919AA4; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFCC00; scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF; } .brand_list_header { width: 99,5%; padding: 2px 0 2px 5px; background-color:#E3FEB1; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-bottom: 0 solid #CCCCCC; margin-top: 10px; overflow:auto; /* I added this now and in ff and Opera everithing is ok, but not in IE*/ } .car_list { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; background-color:#FFFFFF; clear:both; overflow:auto; } .fleft { float: left; margin: 2px 2px 2px 10px; clear:left; } .fright { float: right; } img.new_img { margin: 2px 10px 0 0 ; /*the img from my code( <img 1>, <img 2> ) have this class*/ } Any Ideea why in IE the divs are not ok ? First I tried to list the cars from a brand using <li> elements but I didn't know how to align the images ( icons ) at the right side, like are now. 10x in advance, waiting for a response see ya Hello, I'm working on a website for a client: http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/ http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/rimlox.css My current problem is getting the body to scale to 100% height. At the moment, it stretches to 100% of the browser window, which is great, but if if the content within all the nested divs expands to a height larger than that of the screen, the background does expand with it. In my troubleshooting, I gave the body a 1px border and found out that the body remains at the fixed size of the window even though the content within it expands. I tried messing with the overflow property, all to no avail. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this one. I've looked over a couple of answers and they didn't seem to help me. I have a css "container" box defined like so, containing another "content" box. I'd like the container's height to stretch to contain whatever is in the content box. #container { width: 720px; height:????????????????; margin: auto; text-align: left; position: relative; } #content { position: relative; left:125px; top: 105px; width:500px; border:0px solid #000; } with html like so: <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> The content always spills over, unless I set overflow, but that does not solve the problem. I'm a newbie to css. I'm trying to convert tables to css and having a bit of a tough time. Latest problem - create a window or container with a one line border with minimum height, say 600px, but the height will expand as the content grows. Any help? Thank you kindly! Hi, My website is deployed at www.wecook.co.uk and i'm having problems with the gray background - i want it to be at least as long as the users page(without specifying a height) - how can i do this? the stylesheet can be seen at www.wecook.co.uk/wecook/wecook.css Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Dreamweaver, how do I change alignment of e.g subNavColumn div tag within wrapper Div Tag, I wish to align subNavColumn on left of page. Banner and NavBar extend across full page. I have been unable highlight layer to change properties, must a CSS Stylesheet be attached at outset, could this be part of my problem. Also how can I remove gap showing between layers in IE. I wish to contain all div tags together, Would appreciate help. Hi, I'm new to the forum and very new to CSS, so please excuse my ignorance or any stupid fundamental mistakes I have made. I have almost got what I need to work, but my wrapper and the leftshade and rightshade div heights will not work with the height of the page. If I set them to a preset pixel height, they're fine, but when I set them to auto they disappear. I need them to be able to scroll to whatever the length of my content is going to be. I could really use some advice on how to sort this. Many thanks in advance. Code:

I'm having trouble getting my content to contain within my wrapper in #$%@% IE. Works as expected in Firefox, of course. I simply want to create a background and then put all of my content on top of that background. CSS; Code: html, body {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
div#frameBG {
position: fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
z-index: 0;
}
div#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 900px;
text-align: left;
z-index: 2;
}
#logo {
position: relative;
top: 50px;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
}
HTML; Code: <BODY> <DIV class="frameBG"><img src="images/dk-green-rect.jpg" width="100%" height="100%"></DIV> <DIV class="wrapper"> <!-- Setup the header area --> <DIV id="logo"><img src="images/header_01.jpg"></DIV> </DIV>--> </DIV> </BODY> </HTML> And with that, presto! IE 8 intelligently puts the logo at the bottom of the page. I'd almost rather build tables nested 20 deep than deal with this! Hello all, I've looked all over the place but cannot seem to find anywhere that explains how to add a footer to a CSS page. Basically i have a wrapper div, which is set to 100%, and within this I'd like a footer which would be alligned to the bottom of the wrapper. I just cannot seem to do it. Would it be a case of creating a new box, and having it aligned to 'bottom'? For some reason my sidebar keeps breaking the wrapper and floating under my content on my blog page. universitysquarecondos. com / owners-2 / updates/ Sorry about wack url but it wont let me post urls since it thinks I may be spamming or something... Note that this only happens in IE, not in Mozilla (of course... ) Any ideas? Thanks for helping a noob get his sealegs, Reid I'm looking to basically replicate the design of Engadget. Not entirely, just the real basic design of it. I'm trying to figure out how to use 4 different images (a right header, left header, left footer, right footer) to construct a site that resizes in different browsers to look good. How do I do this? I'm familiar with CSS and html. I want to make the images in Fireworks and slice them, but after I do that and have the html how do I do things like using a wrapper? Thanks for any help you can offer. I just noticed an issue I'm having related to the content on almost all the pages on my site. I have the code below for the body and the #page div. The #page div is supposed to be like a wrapper that encompasses everything. I just tried putting in a border (border: 1px solid #FFFF00 for the #page div so I could see how everything lined up within it (since I have the same background-color for the body and the #page div I can't normally see this). When I added this yellow border, I found only one page where the border went around everything. On all the other pages, the border seems to either not close or to only go around the content near the top of the page or to go around nothing. I think this means that all the code that I have in the #page div is not being applied to most of the content on each of those pages. I'm having a hard time understanding why that border I inserted does not go all the way around everything (why the #page div does not seem to be including everything). I have the div properly closed at the bottom of the page (</div></body></html>) and this is even happening on pages where I have no validation errors. body { background-color: #000000; margin: 0px; } #page { width: 960px; font-size: 14px; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #26D578; background-color: #000000; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 16px; } Wondering if anyone could help me root this problem out. I find that when content forces a scrollbar on the browser window, everything in my wrapper div gets nudged to the left about 10 px. I'm using a sticky footer, but other than that, nothing too shifty. Anyone have an ideas? If you Google Black Warrior Review, you can see the site. Here's the pertinent CSS, including Ryan Fait's sticky footer: * { margin: 0; } a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #FF00FF; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #FF00FF; } html{ height: 100%; } body { background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(background4.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: bottom; text-align: left; height: 100%; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12px; } p { padding-bottom: 16px; } .wrapper { min-height: 100%; height: auto !important; height: 100%; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */ margin-top: 0; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: -35px; margin-left: auto; width: 600px; } .menu { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 10px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; padding-left: 10px; text-align: left; color: #000000; width: 650px; } .content { width: 590px; line-height: 16px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 50px; padding-left: 10px; } h1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 63px; font-weight: bold; width: 590px; padding-left: 7px; margin-bottom: -7px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 20px; } h2 { margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bolder; width: 590px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 30px; padding-bottom: 0px; } h3 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bolder; padding-top: 16px; } h4 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; padding-bottom: 16px; } .contentimg { padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 10px; } .margin { padding-left: 10px; } .revauthor { font-size: 10px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999; } .revtop { vertical-align: bottom; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; } .caption { font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; text-align: right; width: 590px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 5px; } .footer a { color: #FFFFFF; .caption { font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; text-align: right; width: 590px; padding-bottom: 10px; } .contenttable { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12px; width: 590px; text-align: left; line-height: 16px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 10px; } blockquote { padding-left: 20px; } .push { height: 35px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */ } /* Sticky Footer by Ryan Fait */ .footer { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; height: 25px; vertical-align: bottom; text-align:center; color: #FFFFFF; padding-top: 10px; background-color: #999999; } Hello. I am new to website making and I am trying to create a wrapper that is centered, and 2 <divs> in it. One that will align to the right of the wrapper, one to the left.

width:800px;
height:600px;
top:40px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

width:80px;
height:100px;
top:20px;
left:10px;
border: 1px solid #FFF;
background-color: rgb(255,255,0);
}
#Right {
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
width:100px;
height:80px;
right:10px;
border: 1px solid #FFF;
background-color: rgb(0,255,0);

My problem is 1-The wrapper does NOT align in the center of the page, and 2- The 2 other <div> dont seem to care about my wrapper, the position themself relatively to the viewport, not my wrapper... Any clue of what I can do? Please go easy on me, this is so new to me! Thanks a million times! Hi, I am currently redoing our website and have some basic layout lying around, but I just cannot find the reason for IEs behavior regarding the background image. I put a static version of the test page up on http://noitekk.de/test/ntk/index.html Everything looks fine in Opera and Firefox, but on IE (6 and 7) the background for the wrapper div is 1px off to the right, so the navigation bar and the header (which is all black ATM) look as if they are positioned badly. Anybody got any idea? Thanks Thomas Hi everyone, This is about to drive me to If you look at this page you will see the problem right away: cant post my url: See forum rules - well I'll be... Why is the name, address ect.. out side of my wrap?
