CSS - Auto-resizing Div Column.
Hi all!
I got a three column div lay-out with a wrapper around these three column divs. At the moment, all columns have a fixed width and are floating to the left. Now I want the center column to auto-resize when I make my browser screen smaller. I already tried "width: auto;" but then it places the center column below the left column in stead of next to it. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, I have a quick question which should be cleared up soon enough. However i'm confused. I make a content layer and wish to make the contents height at 100%, so it will cover the hole screen (height wise). So i thought .. the simple code following would solve it. CSS: Code: #content { position:absolute; width:800px; height:100%; overflow:inherit; z-index:1; background-image:url(../images/content.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; left: 100px; top:0px; visibility: visible; } Obviously not seeing as the content ends up a few milimeteres in height. Any help would be fantastic. Regards, Joe. EDIT: I have however .. got it to work in FF .. IE seems to be a problem now though. Ok, first problem: How would I go about creating a div container that auto-resized (and works with all browsers)? I can just set the left and right margins to work with newer browsers, but I need it to work for IE etc. Currently, I am using a table for this, but due to the many colspans and rowspans, the height and width settings are buggy and my borders will not show up right. Besides that, I would much rather do it with divs anyway, because it's smaller and easier. Second problem: How would I create a paragraph that would act like this: If it was under 500px high, it would shrink to fit. If it was over that, it would add a scroll bar with overflow? What I have: Code: p.code { font-family: "Courier New", serif; font-size: 8px; height: auto; width: 600px; border-size: 1px; border-color: #46516F; border-style: ridge; padding: 5px; overflow: auto; } (obviously doesn't work...) Alrighty, I'm trying to produce a layout similar to that of what is shown in the attached image. Please ignore the image being the rainbox colors, but I had to differentiate sections. I can get the banner/search line to appear properly, but the rest will not. Left menu gets positioned fine, the content does as well (more or less), but the right column is displaced, and shifted down to the very bottom of the window -- far right, though. I can't explain much better than that, so without further ado: CSS: Code: .columns-float{ float : left; width : 80%; } .column-one { width : 75%; /* NOTE: This needs to be dynamic! THIS is what I'm inquiring about. The above problem assumes this attribute is set to "auto". */ float : right; } .column-two { width : 25%; float : left; } .column-three{ width : 20%; float : right; } .box-footer{ clear : both; } .column-one-content{ margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; } /*Hack below:*/ .box-wrap, .columns-float, .column-one, .column-two, .column-three, h2{ p\osition: relative; } (Above was borrowed from here, albeit with modifications.) HTML: Code: ... <div class="columns-float"> <div class="column-one"> <div class="column-one-content"> <h2>column 1</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="column-two"> <div class="column-two-content"> <h2>column 2</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="box-clear"> </div><!-- # needed to make sure column 3 is cleared || but IE5(PC) and OmniWeb don't like it --> </div><!-- close boxbody --> <div class="column-three"> <div class="column-three-content"> <h2>column 3</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="box-clear"> </div><!-- # needed to make sure column 3 is cleared || but IE5(PC) and OmniWeb don't like it --> <div class="box-footer">Footer </div> Do not link me to Position Is Everything. Been there already, and it wasn't helpful; the used terminology was too abstruse for me. Any help would be appreciated, and I thank you very much for your time. This is driving me batty.

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 I am building a custom form control that behaves more or less like a <select> menu. For the dropdown portion of the menu, I need to set a max-height. If the dropdown contains enough options to go beyond the max-height a vertical scrollbar should appear.

When the page is loaded for the 1st time, the height of the dropdown portion of the menu is only large enough to see 1 option and no scrollbars are displayed. If I hit refresh (without holding the Shift key), the menu's height goes to its max-height and displays as expected. The only property I could find that has any effect on this behaviour is overflow. If I remove it all together or set it to scroll, it displays at the correct height. Unfortunately, neither of these are an option since they will not produce the desired scrolling behaviour. Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? 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 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. (aka hi hi hi)</div> <div id="rightcol">Sidebar, yippee.</div> </div> <div id="leftcol"> <div id="navigation">test</div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> and the CSS: Code: html, body { background: #333399; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: black; } #pagewidth { width: 750px; text-align:left; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background: #333399 url('images/bodycontent.gif') repeat-y center top; } #header { position:relative; height:138px; background: url('images/header.gif') center; width: 100%; } #leftcol { width: 118px; float: left; left: 25px; position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin:0; padding:0; } #twocols { width: 700px; float: right; position: relative; } #rightcol { width:180px; right: 25px; float:right; position:relative; background-color: transparent; } #maincol { background-color: transparent; float: left; left: 100px; display: inline; position: relative; width: 390px; } #footer { text-align: center; height:39px; background: url('images/footer.gif'); clear:both; } .clearfix:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .clearfix{display: inline-table;} /* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .clearfix{height: 1%;} .clearfix{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ /*printer styles*/ @media print{ /*hide the left column when printing*/ #leftcol{display:none;} /*hide the right column when printing*/ #rightcol{display:none;} #twocols, #maincol{width:100%; float:none;} } Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. 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! 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. I understand that this is a common problem and I've looked at a lot of examples on the web of how to work around this or create a better layout but I'm still not sure enough to know which would be the easiest and best to go within the page I have written. I want to avoid images but other than that any help would be great! I have validated the HTML & CSS and they are copied below (could any advice be really specific, as I said this is very new to me!).

The CSS for it is he http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/css/screen.css I was wondering why if there is a table in the right hand column with a width percentage over 77% there is some horizontal scrolling? This happens in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can do the basics of it but I'm running into a couple snags Question 1 In my stylesheet, I have: Code: #centerCol { float: left; color: #333; font-size: 10px; padding: 10px 10px 10px 15px; } And in my code I have a function that contains: Code: document.getElementById('centerCol').style.fontSize = '12px'; It works fine to resize the centerCol ID but what if I want to only resize the <p> tags in the centerCol ID? Question 2 Is there a way to resize without the use of Javascript? Everything I've found so far includes it. Hi there! I am tweaking a WordPress template to fit a blog for a roleplaying game. The template is a three-column, fixed-width one. It looks fine on my tiny 17" monitor at work, but at home on my 22", the blog is very small and sits in the center of the page. (The content section is just 904px wide.) Is there a way to tweak the style.css file in order to give the columns percentage widths instead of absolute pixel widths, so that the center "content" area will resize properly according to the reader's resolution/monitor size/window size? I have some experience with CSS and I'm usually pretty good at tweaking pre-existing CSS to fit my needs, but this is something that's a bit beyond me. I can't put a direct URL in my post, but here's a snippet of the CSS file: Code: body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, address, blockquote, dd, dl, hr, p, form{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } body{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; background: #fff url(); color: #fff; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px; } a{ text-decoration: underline; color: #08441e; } a:hover{ text-decoration: none; } a img{ border: 0; } abbr, acronym{ border: 0; } address, dl, p{ padding: 10px 0 0; } blockquote{ margin: 10px 10px 0; background: #fffada url(images/bg_blockquote.gif) no-repeat 5px 7px; color: #736926; } blockquote p{ padding: 10px 10px 10px 20px; } blockquote blockquote{ margin: 10px 20px; background: #fff; color: #333; } blockquote blockquote p{ padding: 10px; } code{ background: #f9f9f9; } dt{ font-weight: bold; } dd{ padding: 0 0 5px 15px; } hr{ clear: both; margin: 15px 0 5px; width: 100%; border: 0; height: 1px; text-align: left; background: url(images/bg_comment_bottom.gif) no-repeat; } small{ font-size: 10px; } input, textarea{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 2px; } input#author, input#email, input#url, textarea#comment{ border: 1px solid #cbb945; background-color: #fffadb; padding: 3px; } input#author, input#email, input#url{ margin: 0 5px 0 0; } #container, #header, #menu, #menu ul li, #menu ul li a, #pagetitle, h1, #syndication, .pagewrapper, .page, .wrapper, .narrowcolumnwrapper, .narrowcolumn, .content, .post, .entry, .browse, sidebar{ text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } #container{ margin: 0 auto; width: 904px; padding: 10px 0 0; } #header{ margin: 0 0 10px; float: left; width: 904px; height: 250px; background: url(images/bg_header.gif) no-repeat left bottom; color: #333; } #menu ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 175px; list-style: none; } #menu ul li{ float: left; margin: 0 5px 0 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; background: url(images/bg_tab_right.gif) no-repeat right top; color: #ffffff; } #menu ul li a{ display: block; padding: 14px 20px 10px; text-decoration: none; background: url(images/bg_tab_left.gif) no-repeat left top; color: #ffffff; } #menu ul li a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } #pagetitle{ clear: both; width: 904px; height: 250px; } } #pagetitle h1 a{ text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } .pagewrapper{ margin: 0 0 10px; float: left; width: 904px; background: #fff url(images/bg_page_bottom.gif) no-repeat left bottom; color: #333; } .page{ float: left; padding: 0 5px 5px; background: url(images/bg_page_top.gif) no-repeat; } .wrapper{ /* This wrapper class appears only on Page and Single Post pages. */ float: left; width: 500px; } .narrowcolumnwrapper{ margin: 5px 0 0; float: left; width: 500px; background: #fff url(images/bg_narrowcol.gif) repeat-y; } .narrowcolumn{ float: left; width: 500px; background: url(images/bg_narrowcol_bottom.gif) no-repeat left bottom; } .content{ float: left; width: 500px; background: url(images/bg_narrowcol_top.gif) no-repeat left top; } Thank you!
