CSS - Right Column Background Not Going All The Way Down
Hi there,
I have a right hand column with a background colour, but if the content area is longer than the column, the right column stops and the background colour does not go all the way down. I have tried using a background images which works fine and goes all the way down in IE, but not in FF. Any ideas how I can make it go all the way down? Thanks! Similar TutorialsSo I have a page where the content itself will be an 800px wide light column down the center of the page. But the background (to the left and right of the column) I want to be a gradient lightblue. I would usually accomplish this by making the background color lightblue and simply attaching the gradient to the top using CSS. Then I would create a table for the center column and make it the light background color. The problem is that on short pages, I want the center column to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, irregardless of the content. Unfortunately, height="100%" or it's CSS variants don't work for tables, cells, or even DIVS so I can't force the table to extend down to the bottom of the page. The only way it seems I could do this, then, is by using the body background image attribute or body background CSS to make the column color the background for the entire center of the document, but those attributes are already both used up creating the gradient. Any thoughts on how I might go about this. A sample of what I'm getting at is at http://www.poweredpages.com/fdr/index2.php. There, you can see the background gradient and the column that should extend to the bottom, even if there's very little text. Thanks, Jeremy So I'm trying to setup a column on the right side of my content for advertisements. I've gotten the two columns lined up next to each other, but the problem is that the background doesn't flow down to compensate for the length of the advertisement. It only seems to pay attention to the content in the content column on the left. Does anyone know how to get that background to extend down to compensate for the length of the advertisement, depending up on whether or not it's displayed? If anyone's better with CSS than I am, and could help, I'm open to suggestions and fixes for how to accomplish this. Test Page: cvoproweb.com/testpage.html Test CSS: cvoproweb.com/teststyle.css Thanks for the help, hopefully the problem isn't too complicated. -Chris Edit: This problem seems to be occurring in Firefox and Opera, (it works in IE7) does anyone know how to fix this in Firefox and Opera? Hello, I've made a layout using Photoshop and Dreamweaver. As you can see here. Everything is fine for me except the Site Updates section. As you can see the sides of the site updates section aren't layers, instead they're images. When I tried making them as layers they didn't give me the outcome I wanted. Can somebody please tell me how to replace those images with layers so the section expands with more content. Thanks Hi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts. I hope someone here can advise. This is an abridged version of the site's code for example: Code: <style type="text/css">

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob Hi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Question title: A 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally and let them both scroll vertically Hello I did try several idea's, but all failed. Then I did search the web but found a list of > 400.000 in google. If someone is willing to tell me if it is possible and give me some directions, please do. Everything is welcome. I got a list with 3 columns ( basically you could say I have only two columns because 2-3 could be concatenated to together, but they have a different style and justification, but I could live to start with a two column sample) f.e line 1 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 2 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 99:.... e.t.c Column one has a fixed width of 32px. 'some text' can be longer then the wide available and value_two is with 3 spaces appended to column 2. I want that column one is fixed horizontal and that the second and the third column can scroll horizontally. Of course when there are more line's then the height of the container is should be posable to scroll vertically. Finally I need the color behind column one be different then the column 2 and 3. So what I did create is a container with two containers where the left one has a different colour then the right one and above those a container with the list. I have overflow on auto, so I get scroll-bars when necessarily. But my problem is that when I scroll horizontally that my first column scrolls away to the left. Basically my question is. How can I get a 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally ( first is locked in horizontal place ) and let them scroll both vertically? Hey, So I have a three column layout being implemented as such: html: Code:
<div class="content">
<div class="col1 column"></div>
<div class="col3 column"></div>
<div class="col2 column">
<div class="header">Header</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS: Code:
.column {
padding: 10px;
position:relative;
}
.header {
background:#cfe6f5;
color:#416383;
font-size:11px;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:300;
padding-left:15px;
}
.col1 {
float: left;
width:250px;
}
.col2 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.col3 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}
The problem is that the width of the header div extends all the way to the left and right of the page when it's in the middle column, but behaves the way I want it to (extends to the left and right of the column) when it's in the left or right column. Any ideas? Thanks. --Surgery Hello, I am having difficulty with the center column on the following page: http://cbo4edu.org/index2.html I want to widen the center column so that the CBO NEWS heading touches the blue line which divides the center and right column. When I try to add width to the style sheet the left column moves out of alignment. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Hi, hopefully you enjoyed the title, I had a good laugh thinking of it in that split second it took me to write it. So, I found a 3 column css layout on a CSS generator website, because I got sick of trying to hack up layouts I've made in the past that didn't work. Anyhow, it was working fine with one line of content in each column when I tested it out, however, once content in the middle column was added, and stretched vertically beyond a certain point, it will drag the left columns content down with it. The right column is not affected in any way. I have spent a few hours trying to look for reasons as to why it would happen, but I had no luck. I would appreciate any help... so thank you in advance if you take a stab at it. Here's the html: Code: <body> <div id="pagewidth"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="wrapper" class="clearfix" > <div id="twocols" class="clearfix"> <div id="maincol">Main Text, woot.

Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } I am a HTML&CSS novice - I am trying to write a page using a three column layout but the column colour doesn't reach the footer.

The example I'm going for is used as top navigation he nfl - baltimore ravens home page and he ge home page Here is the code I'm using currently (would like it to be all CSS). #### ul#mainNavigation { padding-left:185px; } ul#mainNavigation li { padding:0 16px; float: left; display:inline; position: relative; list-style: none; color:White; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.Seperator { padding:0px; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over { background-color:white; } ul#mainNavigation li.over a { color:Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { color:White; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; display:block; } ul#mainNavigation a:hover { color: Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { display: block; } ul#mainNavigation li p { height:19px; } ul#mainNavigation li ul { display: none; position: absolute; background-color:Black; opacity:.8; filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8; margin-left:-16px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul { display: block; z-index:999; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li { float: none; background:none; border:none; white-space:nowrap; padding:0px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a { color: white; padding:5px; border-bottom:solid 1px black; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a:hover { background: #3d1f6e; color: white; } ~~~~~~~ HTML ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <ul id="mainNavigation"> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink1.html">Mainlink1</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink2.html">Mainlink2</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> #### Thank you, in advance! ~ lahddah I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. I want to have 2 columns inside a master container, I can handle the master container, but heres what I want for the two inner columns. I want the first column to account for the left 80% of the container, and the second column to always be 150px, and always just to the right of the first column. so as you expand the container (the page) the left column should take up more and more space, but the right column should remain a constant 150px, and always a fixed distance from the left. Any Help? |
