CSS - Force Columns To Be Same Height
Hello all. I have a site with 2 columns. I would like the left column to be the same height as the right column. The right column will always be longer than the left. Here is what I have so far:

Any thoughts? Similar TutorialsHello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs). My problem is: - divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows.

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg What I have: I have a <div id="content"> that contains the main content of the site. In this <div> I have two other <div>s that are arranged in columns, using float. The left column forms the Navigation for the site and is surrounded by a black border. Here is the problem: If the content on the right is small, the border on the left stretches from top to bottom (since the left div controls the height). However, when there is a lot of content on the right, the border on the left only surrounds the content of the left div and leaves space underneath the bottom border-line. My question: Is there a way to "stretch" the left div so the border touches the top of its parent div on top and the bottom of its parent div on the bottom? Or in other words: Can I force the left div to have the same height as the right div? Here is an example of what I have right now (before tackling the problem): CSS: Code:
#content {
width: 800px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#contentNav {
width: 140px;
float: left;
border: thin solid black;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#contentMain {
width: 600px;
float: right;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="contentNav"> <a href="">Link1</a><br /> <a href="">Link2</a><br /> <a href="">Link3</a><br /> </div> <div id="contentMain"> <p>Here comes a lot of text that spans over many lines. </div> </div> Doh! Nevermind, I fixed my problem. I am baffled by what seems like a simple task which I can't seem to find the solution to. I've two columns (#top_left, #top_right) inside a containing div (#top_container). I want both columns to be the same height (100%). So if the column on the right has more content, the column on the left will stretch to match the same height. If I set a fixed height on the containing div (#top_container), it fixes the issue, since at this point my declaration of height:100% on the two columns actually knows what it is supposed to be 100% of. But then I run into overflow issues if the content goes over fixed height and when I try min-height, the columns fail to stretch once more. Here is my code: Code:
<style type="text/css">
#top_container {width:760px;}
#top_left {float:left; height:100%; width:200px;}
#top_right {float:left; height:100%; width:560px;}
</style>
<div id="top_container">
<div id="top_left">Content</div>
<div id="top_right">Content</div>
<br clear="all" />
</div>
I've slimmed down the code and cut out non relevant pieces like font styling, colors, and other non pertinent sections. Hi, I am trying to better understand how column heights are displayed, and how to create full height columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index.html, the column which drives the height of the page is <div id="main">, and the left and right columns do not span the entire column height, and the red <div id="content"> shows at the bottom of both side columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index2.html, I put less stuff in the center <div id="main"> so it wouldn't drive the height of the page. The green <div id="main">, however, did cover the entire column unlike the left and right column on the earlier page. Can anyone help me understand what is going on, and why one column has full height color yet not the other one? Also, what is the best way to make the left and right column have full height color? I know I can apply a repeating background graphic to <div id="content"> which mimics the appearance of the left and right column, however, it would be nice to do differently if possible. My code is listed below (sorry about the ugly colors!) Thanks Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Hi... Not sure how to title this message, but here's the problem: I've got a site that has three columns of variable length text. Each column must have a 2px left border. No problem so far. Under each column of text, I must align a block of links. These blocks must align along the top link. The borders must continue from the top of the text to the bottom of the links. Does this make sense? The problem I have is the border is only solid on the column with the longest amount of text and breaks on the shorter ones. I can get this to work by setting a fixed height for the text, but that doesn't seem like a great solution as it would have to be changed as the text length changes. my CSS: Code: .box {border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; width: 254px; float: left; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;}
.txt {font: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;}
.linkscontainer {width: 853px; clear: both;}
.linkbox1 {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}
.linkbox {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}

Could somone please help me with this, I have looked at Paul OB's 2 col example but I am at a puzzle how to do it with my requirements!! Your help is much appreciated! Hi i want to have a site with 3 columns a header and a footer where the height of the content and both the columns spreads to fill the page even if there is only a few lines of content. Also i wanted to have a margin round the page so that the page doesnt fill the screen horizontal. i cant seem to get it to work correctly does anyone have an example i can look at? cheers Andy Hello, Below is css I am trying to get to work and use as a template for a two column , header, and footer layout. I can get by with css, but an not a designer so can't figure out the exact specifics on how to do this. I've looked at many sites, make examples, javascripts included, but either they are to hard to fit into what I am looking for or just cause me to hit my head against the wall. I'm trying to get the left columns background to fill height 100% to the footer. The content's doesn't need it because the wrapper's background act's as its color. Also, if either column's height changes past the screen's height. I need the footer to move down too. Currently, I tested if the left-column and the main content goes past the screen's height it will just go past the footer. This works beacuse the css I have currently is making sure that the footer is always at the bottom. Code: <html >

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance. Risso I'm trying to replicate what I had in html tables with css div. The final (I hope) problem is that as I populate cells with data retrieved from a MySQL data base there are columns that want to expand beyond the default height. When that happens, that cell overlaps the next row. If I use min-height, the cell alignment goes haywire because other cells are below the minimum. The workaround is to increase the default height, but that doesn't make me love divs. Is there a solution to this? Here's my code (stripped down--there'e a lot more to the application, and sanitised for anonymity). Thank you. <style type="text/css" media="screen, print, projection"> body, html { margin:0; padding:0; color:#000; background:LightBlue; } #wrap { width:99.5%; margin:0 auto; background:LightBlue; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; border: none; } #p { float:left; width:72.5%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border: 3px solid navy; } # li { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; height: 36px; font-size:small; } #p li.header { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; font-weight:bold; font-size:medium; height: 24px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; } #p ul { margin:0; padding:0px; list-style:none; } #p p { font-weight:bold; font-size: medium: padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #title { border-bottom: 1px solid navy; width:100%; } #button { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:10%; } #pt { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:20%; } #c { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:30%; } #ex { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:19%; } #az { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; border-right: 1px solid navy; width:9%; } #ep { float:left; border-bottom: 1px solid navy; width:11%; } </style> </head> <body> <?php // code to connect to mysql and do do some other stuff goes here $cl=field_already_retrieved_from db; echo "<div id=wrap>"; //wrapper for entire page (the real application does a lot more than this section $result = mysql_query //sql select statment goes here $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "<div id='p'>"; //wrapper for p's echo "<div id='title'>"; echo "<ul><li class=header>Lines</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end title while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $p=$row['p']; $v=$row['V']; echo "<form action='detail.php' method='post'> "; echo "<div id='button'>"; //button to display line detail echo "<ul><li>"; echo "<input type='submit' class='btn' name='line' value ='Detail'><input type='hidden' name='p' value ='$p'><input type='hidden' name='v' value ='$v'><input type='hidden' name='cl' value ='$cl'>"; echo "</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end button echo "</form>"; echo "<div id='pt'>"; echo "<ul><li>"; echo $row['pt']; echo "</li></ul>"; echo "</div>"; //end pt echo "<div id='c'>"; echo "<ul><li>"; echo $row['c'] .

The thing is, I want column 1 to dictate the height of the page, and for column 2 to match that height and add scroll bars if needed. So far I have: Code:
#wrapper {
width:975px;
background-image: url("../Images/main_background.jpg");
}
#left_column {
width:625px;
float:left;
padding:0px 25px 0px 25px;
}
#right_column {
width:250px;
float:right;
padding:0px 25px 0px 25px;
}
I experimented with adding overflow:auto;, overflow:scroll; and height:inherit; to the right column, but it still stretches to contain the content in the right_column. Any ideas? Thanks guys. Hi, I have a multi-column layout where I want every column to always be the same height. Any one of the columns may be the longest on any given page, so the other columns have to automatically adjust to match that height. Usually I'd just use the faux column technique where you repeat a background image, but that won't work because of two elements on this page: 1. each column has a border all the way around it. 2. one column resizes with the page. I've read the articles on liquid layouts with faux columns, but as far as I can tell those techniques won't work if your columns have borders. Does anyone know any technique that would work here? Thanks. Hello, im trying to make Fixed width 3 columns (each column have fixed width) layout 100% height with header and footer. -Well I see alot of examples around the web, but i dont see complete one and im really tired of searching, i made the Fixed width 3 comlumns layout, left and right are absolute position, and center is relative to the header -the problem is that all columns dont fill the whole height of the browser windows, the footer doesnot work good. so the whole thing is missed up, so please show 100% working example of what i need. Thanks in Advanced Samer Here is a snippet of the DIV I am working on. Regardless of what I put in between the h-2 tags, I would like the box to be 320 pixels wide instead of only being as wide as the text within the h-2 tags. I have ended up padding the h-2 content with blank spaces to widen it out. There must be a cleaner solution? Code: <div id="box_header"> <h2>Make This 320 pixels wide?</h2> </div> Code:
#box_header h2{
color:#359764;
line-height: 35px;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
border: double #5B85C5;
display:inline;
font-weight: bold;
width: 320px;
}
I heve three images - all in their own div - across the page. I want these images centered. I then want text UNDER these images. As you can see in my page, the text is actually starting to the right of my images. Why is this happening? http://69.89.31.86/~gentryfo/ Thanks. how can i keep these 2 divs i have on the same line, i tried min-width for the div they are in and it works perfect but IE doesn't support it, i even tried a extra div to use as a spacer but IE seems to make keep them on the same line even though there is already enough space for it, here is the html i'm using Code: <div id="ms_all" ><!-- Start all mapserver --> <div id="ms_main_map_div"> <input alt="Map" id="ms_main_image" type="image" name="mapa" src="map_img.phtml?[data_to_img]" /> </div> <div id="ms_side_bar" > <!-- A bunch of form stuff --> </div><!-- End Side Bar --> </div><!-- End all mapserver --> and here is the css Code: #ms_all {
/*padding:5px;*/
height:610px;
min-width:810px;
position:relative;
}
#ms_main_map_div {
padding:2px;
left:5px;
float:left;
/*top:2px;*/
width:600px;
}
#ms_main_image {
cursor:crosshair;
width:600px;
height:600px;
}
#ms_side_bar {
right:2px;
float:right;
padding-top:20px;
/*top:10px;*/
padding:2px;
width:200px;
/*clear:both;*/
}
i want the 'ms_main_map_div' and the 'ms_side_bar' to be on the same line, but the 'ms_side_bar' stuff keeps jumping to the bottom of the page if it doesn't fit in the window, so does anyone know of a way to get IE to display this the right way or maybe make IE support the min-width thing, preferably keeping my CSS and XHTML valid I have a div like this: Code: <div class="image_box"> <img src=""> </div> I have a border and background-color going on w/the div, but I want it to only be as wide as the image. It is stretching as wide as the screen. How do I force it shrink down and only be as big as the image that is inside of it? This should be simple, I just don't know how to do it. Thanks. I hate it when browsers jump when the scrollbar appears on a longer page. Is there any way to force scrollbars to stay on the page on all browsers? Pretty Common issue.... I think... I need my div's background to go all the way down the page.... even on small pages!! Here is an example... Sign Up Page |
