3 Column Layout With Equal Length?	View Content

I've got a site I've started to work on: domosworld.net

I want it setup so the three middle columns are equal width? I set right/left borders on the middle content, but am worried that perhaps the right side will be longer than the middle which will cause the layout not to look right. What is the best way to achieve the equal columns?

I need some expertise in trying to get equal length columns on a site. I'm completely revamping a site and having trouble with a two column layout. The right column just stops halfway down the page. What am I doing wrong.

Css Three Column Layout Column Length

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!).

How To Create Equal Length Columns

I have a three column layout. The third column is empty except for a background image which I'd like to be the same length as the main (content) centre column. This would ensure the background image in the right column is at the same length as the main content

Any ideas how I can do that?

Hi!

I'm playing around with style sheets, mainly because I have a tabular layout at the moment and everyone keeps telling me how evil tables are, so i tought being as i haunt devshed, i should use the advice and before my site gets too big, change it! Finding it quite difficult to start with, but making good progress! And I have the following so far...

PHP Code:
h1 {font-size: 1.4em;
font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;}

h2 {font-size: 1.3em;
font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;}

h3 {font-size: 1.2em;
font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;}

h4 {font-size: 1.1em;
font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;}

h5 {font-size: 1em;
font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;}

a:link {color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;}

a:hover {color: #dedbcb;
text-decoration: underline;}

a:visited {
    color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;}

body {margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: .7em;
line-height: 1.4em}

div#header {padding: 2%;
text-align: center;
background-color: #0e2e3b;
color: #ffffff;
margin-bottom: 2px;
border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1px}

div#footer {padding: 2%;
text-align: center;
clear: both;
background-color: #0e2e3b;
border-top: solid #ffffff 1px}

div#maincontent {padding: 2%;
text-align: justify;
margin-left:  150px;
background-color: #0e2e3b;
color: #ffffff;
margin-bottom: 2px;
border-right: solid #ffffff 1px;
border-left: solid #ffffff 1px}

div#leftcolumn {padding: 2%;
float: left;
text-align: right;
background-color: #0e2e3b;
color: #ffffff;
width: 150px;}

div#rightcolumn {padding: 2%;
float: right;
text-align: right;
background-color: #0e2e3b;
color: #ffffff;
width: 10px;}

My question is, the rightcolumn is really just for layout, its not going to contain anything. What I need is the right column to equal the height of the left column all the time, so the layout looks right. Could someone point me in the correct direction?

Css Column Equal Hight Postioning

Similar Tutorials

Ok i made a design for a website in photoshop .. sliced it up into divs put it in dream weaver and i edited to css for the divs there... I'm having a problem with all the columns with background images to stretch to the end of the page dynamically according to the hight of the highest column..

For example if i add more content to the content section of the site i have to go in and change the hight of every repeatable background image that extends to the bottom of the page.... as you may know this sucks and i really want to figure out how to get the site the way it should be so its easily editable.
..

I know quite a bit of the problem is the fixed positioning that's being used but the website is not a perfectly square site so some exception need to be made.. i tried to make a website that was way above my lvl to make but i made it.. its just has some bugs i need to figure out..

To get the problem to occur all one has to do is make the text bigger using the browser and watch the background image not extend to the end of the site.. which is all i need to happen ... so if i add or subtract content the site auto adjusts to the size.. really need some help on this.. thanks..

Equal Columns In Liquid Layout

Hello,
To make my columns have equal lengths in fixed layouts, I have employed the Faux technique successfully.

I know of a js that suppose to equal the columns, and someone told there is a CSS method also. Can you still use the Faux?

Any suggestions?

A 2 Column Layout, Let Only The Second Column Scroll Horizontally But Both Vertically

Similar Tutorials

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?

Three Column Layout: Middle Column Width Woes

Similar Tutorials

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.

Problems With Layout Of Main Column With In 2 Col Layout

Similar Tutorials

I am working on the new home page which is based on a template.

The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout.

Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like

Here are the problems I am having:

1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden.

There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want.

2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css:

#home img {
margin: 5px auto 5px auto;
}

which I thought would do the trick, but it's not.

3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does.

Here is what I have for the css:

#home p, .large {
margin: auto 40px auto 40px;
}

It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code:

Hello!

I'm new to CSS, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm working on this page:

*The CSS is included in the head

The right column is suppose to start where it says 'Are you hooked...'
It should be right underneath the navigation bar. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Flexible-width, Content-first Layout With Fixed-width, Equal-height Sidebar

Similar Tutorials

Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help.

My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off...

The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view!

My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance....

Help With Three Column Layout

I am creating a website for a synagouge and I am having trouble aligning the third column to the right of the other two.

What I have now is he
http://www.getabb.com/help/index.htm

I want the Blue box on the bottom of the text to be displayed to the right of the text in the Pinkish area.

If somebody could show me how to do this, I would appreciate it.
Right now the site is only displayed correctly in IE but I will fix that later.

Thanks in advance

Help With Three Column Layout

Similar Tutorials

Hi,

I'm trying to write a reasonably complex (I think) layout using CSS but I can't get it working.

here is a mockup of what it should look like: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/sitelayout.gif

I basically want the main content area to stretch to fit the content being displayed, and have the right column (in blue) to stretch the whole height of the page. The other three areas are a fixed width/height, although the bottom bar's position must change depending on how long the blue bar is (ie the bottom bar should always be inline with the bottom of the blue bar).

Here's my attempt so far: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/test.html

I can't get the bottom (red) bar to line up with the bottom of the blue bar. If I change the height of the content area, the blue bar does not move but the red bar does. This is the main problem.

And also, the website does not display correctly in IE

If someone could help me out with these issues I'd be grateful, thanks

Two Column Layout....but Different.

Similar Tutorials

I already have a site up and in progress here, but on the utilities page there I want project descriptions on the right and screenshots/links in the left. I want the code in logical order an not use absolute positioning since that will ruin the automatic vertical pagestretch and require fetching exact coordinates. Ultimately there will be self-managed divs. The text needs to be aligned left to the buttons and the left content centered in its 'area' If this doesn't make sense I can try to explain it better or answer questions here.

Oh hey, no URLs allowed for me. Ha.
Okay...

Two Column Layout

Similar Tutorials

I've seen a lot of guides that demonstrate how to make a pure CSS two column layout so that if you have two different background colors, the columns will be the same height no matter which column is taller.

However, I'm trying to create a border around the columns and found that these tricks don't work for that. The border only shows up around the content itself. How can I make it so that the border around both columns is as tall as the tallest column?
