CSS - Anyone Know How To Get Sidebars To Resize Automatically?
Hello, so basically I've got these side bar graphic things I want to put on the edges of my main content table to make it look nice. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to make them resize their height automatically depending on the length of the main content table, which is slightly different on every page.
Since URLs are blocked I guess I have no choice but to just include the code here, ugh. Code:
...
<div id="page-container">
<div id="headerer">
</div>
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="navpanel">
<img src="images/interface/gorglogowidth.jpg" width="270" height="269" border="0" /><br />
<div id="tvbg">
<div id="main-nav">
<dt id="news"><a href="index.php">news</a></dt>
<dt id="episodes"><a href="episodes.html">episodes</a></dt>
<dt id="universialinfo"><a href="universialinfo.html">universialinfo</a></dt>
<dt id="music"><a href="music.html">music</a></dt>
<dt id="contact"><a href="contact.html">contact</a></dt>
</div></div></div>
<div id="sidebar-b">
<img src="images/interface/panelright.jpg" width="17" border="0" />
<img src="images/interface/bottomrightcorner.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="sidebar-a">
<img src="images/interface/panelleft.jpg" />
<img src="images/interface/bottomleftcorner.jpg" width="28"/>
</div>
<div id="content">
<span class="titletext">Episode 1: The Greatest Planet in Existence</span><br />
<a href="episodes/episode1high.html" target="_blank">High Quality (595MB)</a>
<br />
<a href="episodes/episode1low.html" target="_blank">Low Quality (85MB)</a>
<br /><br />
<span class="titletext">Episode 2: Savory Dark Truffle</span><br />
<a href="episodes/episode2high.html" target="_blank">High Quality (597MB)</a>
<br />
<a href="episodes/episode2medium.html" target="_blank">Medium Quality (264MB)</a>
<br />
<br />
<span class="titletext">Episode 3: Spoon the Pretty Bad</span><br />
<a href="episodes/episode3medium.html" target="_blank">Medium Quality (146MB)</a>
<br />
<a href="episodes/episode3flashhigh.html" target="_blank">High Quality FLASH FORMAT(Recomended)</a>
</div>
<div id="panelbottom">
<img src="images/interface/bottommiddle.jpg" width="300" height="28" /> </div>
Anyway, the two images, "panel left", and "panel right" (contained in the DIVs "sidebar-a" and "sidebar-b", respectively) go wayyy down, as their native resolution is very large and I was initially hoping to simply be able to scale them down to to match the height of the main content page The CSS file is as follows: Code:
...
#page-container {
width: 800px;
margin: auto;
text-align: left;
}
/* Main Navigation */
#tvbg {
background:url(../images/interface/navtvlonger.jpg)
}
#main-nav {
padding-top: 50px;
margin-left: 32px;
height: 356px;
width: 150px;
}
#header {
height: 188px;
background: #696969
url(../images/interface/episodesheader.jpg);
width: 530px;
float: right;
}
#sidebar-a {
float: left;
width: 28px;
}
#sidebar-b {
float: right;
margin-left: 155px;
width: 17px;
}
#navpanel {
float: left;
}
#content {
margin-right: 17px;
margin-left: 268px;
line-height: 18px;
background: #696969;
}
#content .padding {
padding: 25px;
}

Thanks! I want to create smaller sidebars with large sidebar. Like small boxes within a large box on left hand side and the same on the right. I will put up an example soon but don't i use absolute positioning for the large box, a relative postion within this box for smaller box containers. The css tags are class and an id so I can keep the appearance of each smaller container the same. I actually have two problems... Installing hte firebug plugin for firefox may ease helping me out... The problem is with http:// kthxbai2u<dot>com I cant for the life of me center the "content" div. I have tried every method I found on the first 4 pages of Google. The only thing I can think of is that it is inheriting something wierd or I am missing something simple... The second problem, I can't seem to make the left and right side bar expand to meet up with the footer wayy down at the bottom of the page. I want that div to make a column the whole way down. If anyone can help me out, it would be more than appreciated! Thanks I have just moved to working with layers as opposed tables/cells. Previously i had a table with three cells, at 86%, 4%, and 16% widths so it spanned the screen. The first cell's content only partly fills the cell, so when the browser is resized (made smaller), each cell stays on the same line and the table happily resize to the point where it can no longer get smaller before it wraps text I have tried to replicate this using 3 div's of the same width as the cells, with float left, however, the browser can hardly be resized at all from full screen without the third div moving onto the next line. If i make the 2nd and third divs larger it works slightly better, however the content does not look right in the layers Therefore can anyone point out how i might be able to achieve better DIV resize when the browser resizes please. Thanks very much Ed Hi All, First time here on the CSS part of Dev Shed. I attempted laying out my page entirely with css for the first time and I have got a question. I have got dymanica content loading into the content DIV of my page. The amount of content varies from one senario to another. So how do I automatically reposition my footer DIV so that it is always at the bottom on my page no matter how much downwards my content DIV adjusts. Thanks guys. Hi all For accessibility reasons I use "em" in my CSS instead of "px", "pt" etc., so the users of all general browsers can scale my websites. But during implementing the page I use "px" because it's easier and I don't have to calculate the relative "em" values all the time. As soon as I finish the implementation process, I go over all the "px" values and calculate the to "em" values. Now my question: is there maybe a Firefox plugin that helps me doing this? Sometimes it's annoying to find out the font-size of the parent element so I can calculate the correct "em" value... A tool like the "Layout" view of the Firebug plugin which would display everything in "em" instead of "px" would be great... anyone knows such a thingie? :-) Thanks a lot for help, Josh Experimenting with layouts.... How do I get the right-hand DIVs (content = 'two') to automatically stretch down to the same height as the left-hand DIVs (as table cells would): Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.frame {
margin-left : 5%;
width : 90%;
font-size : 1em;
text-align : center;
}
.header {
width : 800;
border : 0.05em dashed black;
text-align : center;
}
.header1, .header2, .header3 {
float : left;
margin : 1px;
vertical-align : center;
font-size : 0.8em;
position : relative;
border : 0.05em red solid;
}
.header1 {
text-align : right;
width : 750;
}
.header2 {
text-align : center;
width : 40;
}
.clear {
clear : both;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>

I have page that automatically changes the images in a container via css. Does anyone know if its possible for each image to have a different hyperlink? Would have done this in Flash but, IT Security is not on board with that yet. Any suggestions? Solution included in post below --- thanks. Hi, I am rewriting a series of webpage in CSS. the pages have a two column layout with a top area which has a banner effect. What I would like to do is to have the top and the left div's contain the same info on all pages. So instead of manually putting the contents of these div's in each page I would like to just create the contents in one file say top.html and left.html and load them in each page by using some sort of link. This would make any changes to the contents easy, edit one file instead of many. I am CSS newbie so I would be greatful for any pointers. Thanks, R Haynes Hi all, I am trying to replace the frames with CSS on my tree menu page. Was just wondering if it is possible to bring the resize funcationality to the menu as I had in frames (i.e, user could menually resize the frame if required) OR mayb some auto fit- content solution i.e the pane would automatically grow if possible. Thanks, Sameer. Hi I am rather novice at CSS and what it can do but thought I would see if anyone can offer any feedback. I have been asked to resize the following website: http://www.Ihaveone.org Currently it takes up a third of the window and it is requested to take up the whole window. Is there an easy way to do this? I have downloaded all the files to Adobe GoLive, but am unclear if or how this can be done without redesigning the entire site. Please, any help is greatly appreciated! bufhal i thought it was easy but i cant seem to get a div fit the space it has on my page like.....the size of my page depend on 1 table...the div has to grow till the bottom of that table if i put 100% in the div and things it grows too big maybe im forgetting something hi all, i'm doing a content management system front end form that worked perfectly until i tried the last bit of debugging and found that when resizing the browser it distorted the page... is there a way around this? im fairly new to CSS and have been using relative positioning for my divs. I want to have a web page with a list on it that dynamically resizes to fit the browser viewport with a minimum distance between list items. Here's an example I faked in TextPad: Normal view: User enlarges browser: User shrinks browser: How would I accomplish this in HTML/CSS? Thanks! Hi, I am using html and css to design a website. My problem is that when I resize the web browser, all of the elements reposition themselves accordingly. Is there some to keep them all fixed in position? Thanks! I have the following situation: I have a scrolling table, split in two divs. One div contains the header table with column headers, and the data div contains the actual data table. Both divs are fixed in height, but what I would like to do is have the data div resize depending on the number of rows in the data table. I have tried playing with divs' min-height and max-height and these seem to work fine for IE7, FF2 and Safari, but not for IE6 and Opera. Is there any workaround that would be compatible with all mentioned browsers? Thanks! I ran across a source code and was playing with it to see how it works. The code from what I can tell is mainly for background images. My questoin is, how can I apply a code that will resize the image within the same css coding. I thought it was pretty cool that you can include a large image as the background and it resizes with the window. Not sure this can even be done so that's why I'm asking. Can it be written to resize any or all the images you place on the page? I've included the coding Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title> </title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {margin:0; padding:0; width:100%; height:100%; overflow:hidden;}
#content {padding:5px 300px 20px 200px;}
body {font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:76%;}
#background{position:absolute; z-index:1; width:100%; height:100%;}
#scroller {position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; top:0; left:0; overflow:auto; z-index:2;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img id="background" src="bg.gif" alt="" title="" />
</div>
<div id="fixed">
</div>
<div id="scroller">
<div id="content">
<center>
<H1>Header Text Here <br>
<img src="header_img.png"><br><br>
Text here<br><br>
Text Text</h1><br>
<img src="Just an image here">
</center>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Hello I need to display an image as a background for a table cell I am using the style background-image and it is working fine Here is my problem My table cell has a specific width of 100 pixels The image that I need to display may have a width greater than 100. Is there a way to tell the browser to resize the image to width of 100 pixels and then to display it as a background image? Currently, it just displays the first 100 pixels of the image inside the cell and the rest of the pixels are cut off I must use a background image (background-image) and not an image tag (img) regards |
