CSS - Block Element: Inherit Height Of Surrounding Table Cell
Hi everybody
Is there a way to inherit the height of a surrounding table cell? <td> <a href="..." style="display: block;">...</a> <!-- Should have the same height as the td --> </td> Thanks for help :-) Josh Similar TutorialsI'm looking for a CSS element that behaves like a table, where the size of the container will always be just big enough to surround the data inside, and will grow or shrink based on the content inside without having to specify any widths or heights. A div (with a border) with no width specified will go on forever horizontally. A table (with a border) with no width will stop as soon as the data inside ends. Is there a way to simulate this table behavior using CSS? Thanks Hello people I have a silly style-related question I am trying to render a simple HTML table The table has 2 rows on its left column and one cell on its right column (rowspan = 2) What I am trying to do is to cause the top-left cell to have a fixed height, and to give the remaining height to the cell below it (in the same column). This should work no matter how tall is the table Here is my snippet: Code: <html> <body> <table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50" height="45" valign="top" style="padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px;"><img src="graphic.jpg" width="30" height="40" style="border:1px solid red;"></img></td> <td width="99%" rowspan="2" valign="top" style="padding-bottom:5px;">This<br> is<br> the<br> content<br> of<br> the<br> text<br> on<br> the<br> right</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50" style="padding-bottom:5px;" valign="top">text under photo</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The code behaves correctly when viewed in Firefox 1.5 (see attachment screenshot) but when viewed in IE6.0, the top-left cell seems to ignore my height request... any help would be appreciated Hello, i am creating a dynamic content php page. I start with a photoshop image and create slices and have it output the HTML and CSS table. The problem i am having is that the center cell where the content should go does not expand when the the text goes out of its bound. Is there a way i can do this? Here is the code and a link to the example output. Code: <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- #index-01 { position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:923px; height:103px; } #index-02 { position:auto; left:923px; top:0px; width:100%; height:103px; background-image:url(images/headerbkgdlg.gif) } #index-03 { position:absolute; left:0px; top:103px; width:240px; height:35px; } #index-04 { position:absolute; left:240px; top:103px; width:487px; height:40px; } #index-05 { position:absolute; left:727px; top:103px; width:196px; height:35px; } #index-06 { position:absolute; left:923px; top:103px; width:32px; height:452px; } #index-07 { position:absolute; left:0px; top:138px; width:36px; height:417px; } #index-08 { position:absolute; left:36px; top:138px; width:182px; height:312px; } #index-09 { position:absolute; left:218px; top:138px; width:22px; height:417px; } #index-10 { position:absolute; left:727px; top:138px; width:196px; height:398px; } #index-11 { position:absolute; left:240px; top:138px; width:683px; height:397px; } #index-12 { position:absolute; left:36px; top:450px; width:182px; height:105px; } #index-13 { position:absolute; left:240px; top:536px; width:683px; height:19px; } #index-14 { position:absolute; left:0px; top:555px; width:923px; height:22px; } #index-15 { position:absolute; left:923px; top:555px; width:100%; height:21px; background-color:#DCCC00; } #index-16 { position: absolute; left: 923px; width: 100%; height: 451; top:103px; } --> </STYLE> http://67.86.83.106:81/homeline/index.php I would like the bottom portion along with the menu cell to resize vertically based on the amount of data but always atleast have the given size it is now. Thanks for the help Hi and thanks in advance for any of your help. I need a single colum with several rows, all of which but one have a fixed height. The remaining row/cell should fill the remaining space. I have achieved this in IE6/7/8 with the style "height:100%" attribute but Firefox lets the page scroll of the bottom of the screen. I want the table to be fully visible at all times but with the felxible row/cell collapsing to fit the screen. Code is below with screenshot attached of what I expect to happen (as in IE). Code: <html style="height:100%;"> <body style="height:100%; margin:0;"> <table style="height:100%; width:250px;"> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 1<br />fixed height, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="height:100%;"><div style="vertical-align:top; height:100%; background-color:#ccc; overflow:auto;">text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text</div></td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 3<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 4<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 5<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> Thanks again for any help or pointers as to where I have gone wrong. I want to set up a table so that error messages appear directly above specific table columns in the form of a div tag with a red background and the same width as the column. To do this I've added a div tag inside the <th> element of the table, with the display property set to 'none'. Code: <th> <nobr>Header Content</nobr> <div id="error_message">Error Message</div> </th> When I want to display an error message above the table I use the following styles on the div tag Code: background-color: #ffcccc; width: 100%; position: relative; left: 0px; top: -100px; z-index: 1; display: block; It displays the div tag above the header like I want, but it still stretches the height of the <th> element as if it was still contained inside of it. How do I do this without stretching the cell height? Here is a small snippet of my CSS: Code: body { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #0A142B; background-color: #006699; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; text-align: left; } #main { background-color:#FFFFFF; height: inherit; padding: 5px; } My question is that in the <div id="main"> how can I get that to set the height to 100% from the body, I have tried both setting it to 100% and inherit and it just stays the same height.

So div.menu and div.content have always the same length no matter which of them has the longer content? Thanks for help Josh I'm assuming this is going to be a CSS issue. I have a table cell which contains text, and for the sake of accessibility, I'm allowing text resizing and would like to prevent the table cell from changing in height when the font size is increased. Basically, as the font size increases, the width of the cell is the only thing that will change, not the height. First, is this possible? Second, if so how can this be achieved? I'm pretty sure that I've seen other sites do this, just can't remember where. Thanks in advance! Hello there, I have a question about floating and automatic heights. First, i don't want to use tables becouse of layout etc... I want to have a "row" with 3 seperate "columns". Each "Cell" should have the same height as the heighest "Cell". Now this is where the problem is. The height isn't correct . I Tryed height: auto and 100%. But nothing is working. How can i fix this? Thx in advance. CSS: Code: .divRow { float: left; position: relative; height: auto; margin: 2px 0; } .columnTo, .columnMessage, .columnDate { height: 100%; float: left; padding: 0; padding-right: 2px; background-color: #f0f0f0; vertical-align: middle; } .columnTo { width:75px; overflow: hidden; background-color: #ff0000; } .columnMessage { margin-left: 2px; width:270px; overflow: hidden; background-color: #00ff00; } .columnDate { margin-left: 2px; width:40px; overflow: hidden; background-color: #0000ff; } HTML Code: <div class="divRow"><div class="columnTo" style="background:#ffad39">Column#1:</div><div class="columnMessage" style="background:#ffad39">Column#2:</div><div class="columnDate" style="background:#ffad39">Column#3:</div><div class="clearBoth"></div></div> <div class="divRow"><div class="columnTo clearBoth">Foobar #1</div><div class="columnMessage">This is a peace of text etc.. etc.. etc.. etc..

So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. Any ideas? Thanks! I'm having some problems with CSS. If you look at the pictures below, the first is a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like. It's how it looks in most browsers. The second one, however, is how it looks in IE 6 on Windows and IE 5 on the Mac. It is wrong. Correct look Incorrect look I want to know how to fix this. The little colored boxes are supposed to be squares and have solid borders on them. The shape is off and the borders are missing on the IE version. Also, on the progress bar, there is not supposed to be space between the cells but there is. There is also space between every cell on the page and there is not supposed to be any. Here is my main CSS: Code: body { background-color: #FFFFFF; } a { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } a:link { color: #003366; background-color: transparent; } a:visited { color: #003300; background-color: transparent; } a:active { color: #339933; background-color: transparent; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } table { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;} td, th { border: 0px solid black; padding: 5px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; } tr.one { background-color: #FFFFFF; } tr.two { background-color: #DDDDDD; } table.squares { border: 0px; border-spacing: 1px; width: 50px; height: 10px; } td.square { border: 1px solid grey; padding: 4px; } td.nopadding { padding: 0px; } .default { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; } .h1 { font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;} .h2 { font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; } .h3 { font-weight: bold; } .step { font-size: 150%; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; } Here is one of the sets of squares: Code: <table class="squares"> <tr> <td class="square" style="background-color: #CCCC66"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #CC9966"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #990000; border: black"><td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #669966"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #669999"></td> </tr> </table> And finally, here is one of my progress bars: Code: <table style="color: white; width: 100px"> <tr> <td style="padding:0px; text-align: right; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#222244; width:41px"></td> <td style="padding:0px; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px; background-color:#666666; width:59px">40.7%</td> </tr> </table> And in case that code is not enough, here is a link to the full HTML. According to this CSS test my CSS is not wrong. So does IE just suck? Is there something I can do to make it work in all browsers? My last question is, should I be using div tags for my boxes and progress bars instead of tables? I couldn't figure out how to make them work with divs so I just went with what I knew. Could someone give me an example of each using divs so I can learn how to make it work? the width property of the element "#globalNavWrapper #nav .subnav li a" in this drop down menu is being ignored. when i add padding-right: 200px to it, the full element is visible in the drop down menu, but the long text strings get cut off. why is the width element being ignored?

I've googled this extensively and haven't found any working solutions. I'll write in pseudo-code what I want to happen, and hopefully someone can fill in the blanks... here goes: Code: <style type="text/css"> .container { display: inline-block; } .title { align: left; } .subtext { align: right; } </style> <div class="container"> <div class="header"> <div class="title">Title Goes Here</div> <div class="subtext">Align Me Right</div> </div> <div class="content"> Variable content which container needs to size dynamically to fit. Could be 300px wide, could be 500px wide... </div> </div> What I've tried so far: Tried setting the container width to 1% so IE would autosize to content (while setting white-space: nowrap for the title/subtext), but IE wrapped between the title and subtext elements) Played around with setting absolute widths for the container, but I would really prefer being able to have variably sized content And unfortunately (in many ways) it only has to work in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hi there! This might seem really basic but I don't seem to be able to remove the default border from a cell I created. The code looks like this: "<p> </p> <table align="center" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 475px; width: 700px; border-style: hidden;"> <p align="center"> <img height="457" width="600" src="images/stories/vlkommen3.jpg" alt="vlkommen3" style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> How shall I do to hide the border? Thanks in advance! /Kristoffer Hey, I've got a quick question - I know this must have a common workaround to it, I just can't seem to find it. I have a div positioned absolutely within several parent divs making up the rest of the page. To put the issue simply, it seems to be positioning this child div relative to the body. top:20; and left:20; will put it 20 from the top and left of the body of the page rather than he top and left of the block level div it's nested within. There's no positioning applied to its direct parent. The issue is the same in both IE5.5+ and FF. I can whip up a code example, but I think this is a simple issue that would be easier interpreted as I've put it. Thanks in advance for any help on this. =) try to make a UL into a horizontal nav. i want the a's inside the li's to be display:block, so i need a block element around the outside, but that means they wrap to new lines. What is block without new lines? thanks. I'm having trouble getting two textual elements to align oppositely, one left one right, within a DIV. Visually, I am attempting this: PHP Code: ================================================================= User: John Doe Main Menu :: Logout ================================================================= To accomplish this in all browsers as compliantly as possible, I attempted to define the outer div in CSS, align the content left in the XHTML, and then float another DIV inside to the right to hold the right-aligned textual content. I know that since <DIVs> are considered block level items, they are preceeded and followed by a linebreak. Thus, I defined the Right-floated DIV as display: inline, hoping to fix that. The CSS: PHP Code: #loginbar { height: 14px; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 7pt; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; background: #285064; margin: 0; padding: 3px 3px 0px 3px; } #logout { float: right; display: inline; } .loglink { font-size: 7pt; line-height: 7pt; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; } And the markup: Code: <div id="loginbar" align="left"> User: '.$_SESSION['fullname'].' <div id="logout" align="right"> <a class="loglink" href="main.php">Main Menu</a> :: <a class="loglink" href="logout.php">Logout</a> </div></div> This system works nicely in every browser I've tried (IE6 Win, IE5.1 Mac, Opera 7.54, Camino, Safari, and NN7.2) EXCEPT Firefox. Firefox continues to put the linebreak in before the logout, dropping the text halfway below the bottom of the div even when the div is defined as display:inline. (Interesting enough, the other so-called compliant browsers don'tput in the linebreak before the div even when it's not defined inline.) Anyone have a more elegant solution to this? I'm pretty sure I'm doing it the hard way now and can't see the forest from the trees at this point Hello, I know that putting a block level element (such as <p> or <div>) inside an inline element (such as <a>) is against "xhtml 1.0 strict" rules, so I'm putting a <span> (inline) within an <a> (also inline). I've made my <span> "display: block;", and it works in all browsers and validates fine, but I feel like I'm cheating the system a bit? The thing is, I need to put a margin under a piece of text without using <br /> (as when a browser forces a line break, it will use that rule and make different pieces of text look odd), but all the text is within an anchor tag, so I can't use <p> or <div>. Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter, Cheers! I am working on a site right now. I have two adjacent divs, one on top of the other. Both are styled with margins and padding set to "0." I want the second div to be directly below the first with no spacing. If I include a single-pixel border on the second div, the elements touch with the border being the only thing between the first and second div. Without the border, there is a space of what I believe to be 20 pixels. I don't want to actually use the border so I'm not sure what to do. I don't understand why the page is behaving this way.
