CSS - Faux Columns - Scrolling Float Ie Bug
Hi,
I believe this to be a IE bug that causes the middle click (used for scrolling a page) to be disabled on floating objects. I've noticed this before in the past but I don't know what the real cause is. If I remember correctly this problem is fixed in IE 7. The problem is I have 2-3 floating columns centred in the middle of the page (using margin: auto). Now in firefox when you middle click within the floated objects in the middle of the page you are able to use the scrolling function. In IE 6 when you middle click on the object it will not work, you have to middle click outside the boundaries in order to scroll. Does anyone know the cause of this strange behaviour? I did a search but I can't seem to find anything about it. Cheers! Similar TutorialsHi, I've been experiencing a problem that for sure most of you should dealed with, I've found the following article: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ The problem I'm facing is that elements only stretch vertically as far as they need to. Meaning, if a 200-pixel tall image is contained within a <div>, the <div> will only expand down the page 200 pixels. On the referenced article the proposed solution is to use a background image. However I'm looking for something else, let's suppose the following html code: Code: <table> <tr> <td width="200" bgcolor="#FFFF00">navigation</td> <td width="500" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">content</td> </tr> </table> Both cells strecth vertically each other on both directions, is navigation is taller the background in content is stretched, and if the content is taller navigation's background is stretched. Is possible to achieve this behaviour avoiding tables? Regards, Caste Hello, I was wondering if there is any good alternative to faux columns to make a 2 column layout, where the 2 columns extend from the top to the bottom of the screen (without a footer). The basic structure looks like this: Code: <div id="main_container"> <div id="navigation_menu"> This div is set to float left with a width of 20% (assuming there's no margin, border and padding) </div> <div id="contents"> This div is set to float left with a width of 80% (assuming there's no margin, border and padding) </div> </div> I want the right side of the navigation div to have a dashed border. Probably this could be achieved by using faux columns, but it's too much of a hassle in my opinion. Whenever I want to change the color or column size of the navigation bar, I have to alter the faux-image. Also when i use this dashed border the faux-image has to be larger than 1 pixel height. It would have to be around 10 pixels (5pixels for the part where the dash is showing and 5 pixels for the part where there's no dash. Is there really no easier way to extend the color of the navigation div all the way down to the page? Thanks in advance so I have a side menu & main content inside a main container which has background so it looks like side menu & main content have diff. backgrounds and they all of same height.. Problem: I would like to add something to the BOTTOM of the side menu but am not able to do so.. this text has to appear at the bottom of the page even if content of side menu is less.. I could do "position:absolute" and give it top:870. but this is not dynamic as when the main content is larger it appears this text is in the MIDDLE rather than at the bottom? Hi, I'm still new to CSS and have been learning for the past couple of days now. I'm having trouble getting a two-column layout working correctly. Using the faux method, I have a background set so the right-column has a different background color. This works fine. But I'm having trouble placing the elements inside of the container to work correctly. When the left-column has more content than the right, instead of the container (and thus the background) moving to fit it, the column just extends down by itself. However if the right column has more content than the left, it works correctly. I think it might be because of the float: left, but I'm still new and not exactly sure what the problem is. The URL to view this is http://serve5.net/extend/ - the CSS is right in the source for you to look at. Could someone point me in the right direction as far as getting the left-column to extend down correctly? It seems to work fine in Internet Explorer - but I use Mozilla Firefox and it's having this issue. However, in Mozilla, the left-column's background extends to the border fine, but in IE, it overlaps it. What can I do to fix this also? Thanks. I have stumbled onto two issues with my layout. I have a fixed footer and I have my three columns and the problem I am having is that the content hides behind the fixed footer which is what I want. However when the content is just not enough it gets clipped behind the footer and what I'd like is to have i scroll up to the top of the footer in that situation. How would I do that in my css? The second issue is that when I have a lot of content it breaks out of the container div or at least it appears that way. I'd like it to push the columns down inside the container as needed. The css and xhtml arevalid. Here is the link: http://www.lonniebruhn.com/sitelab/ Thanks for your help LB My CSS practice site (http://stallinswebdesign.com/vs/index.php) is coming along - no tables! - thanks to those of you who have helped along the way. I've used the float property to construct a 3-column site. Two short questions include: 1. I want to display a small image at the top of my middle column. When I drag from either side to make the browser window smaller, IE forces the image and everything below it to the bottom of the page. FF and Opera simply slide the side-column content under the image, which I much prefer. Is there a way to tell the image to stay at the top so that IE can't push it to the page bottom? 2. If you look, you will see that my site is designed with a narrow column on either side of the main wider column. It would look really great if I could occasionally split that center column into two equal-width columns. For example, if each line segment below represents a short paragraph or image, could I do the following when I've already designed the site with float and not the position property? _____ _______________ ______ _____ _______________ ______ _____ _______ _______ ______ _____ _______ _______ ______ _____ _______________ ______ _____ _______ _______ ______ etc. etc... Thank you all for your time. I have a site with 2 faux columns, and on Safari every other pixel of display width shows a 1px strip of the background image to the side of the table. Can anyone help me correct this? It's driving me nuts!! It's only particularly noticeable when resizing the browser window. The background image and table are the same size (750); when I tried setting the background to 749 it left a visible jog. If you're using Safari you can view the problem at danielsobel dot com Thank you SO much! Im trying the faux column technique but somehow it wont work. I use: Code: body{
background-image: url('themes/default/faux_bg.gif');
background-position: 20% 0%;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
margin: 0%;
padding: 0%;
}
.. in my css file. However it doesnt do anything. I am sure the css file is loaded because when i remove the <link> line the rest of the elements lose their style. When i place the code directly into the body tag like this: <body style="background-ima... etc. it does do something. What am i doing wrong? Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/default/basic_sheet.css">
</head>
<body>
<?php require('includes/structure.php'); ?>
<div class="contentsDiv">
blabla blab,ala<br><Br>
dsjkdasdas<br>djsadhjksad<br>djsuiohashd
</div>
<div class="panelDiv">

contact 2<br>
contact 3<br>
</div>
</body>
</html>
(PS the image is a 10px line with the first 20% filled with blue and the other 80% filled with white. thanks in advance. I took the faux column idea, and from it created a left and right border image for my site. The following CSS from Dan Cederholm's faux column article on ALA is what I used, which is below.. Code:
/* image width is 760px, with one px on each end leaving 758px for the content area */
body {
background-image: url(images/bgborder.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: 50% 0;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
To test to make sure it worked well, I placed a content div on the site, which is centered and has a background color, to test to make sure the border image worked as it should. This is below... Code:
#allcontent {
width: 758px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 0 0;
background-color: #ccc;
}
In FF this works great, but I found a bug in IE (as usual ) that I can't figure out. In IE 6.0, when the window is resized, the background from the content that should be inbetween the border image actually overlaps the image on the left hand side. I can't think of anything that would trigger this, has anyone ever run into it? If not, does anyone have any idea why it happens? -B ok this is taking to long i go think of something else Ive first tried a 2 column layout using the faux technique. Now im trying it with 3 columns but i dont understand it. I read some articles about it and still dont get it really. Can someone explain the main idea of how its done? Just a simple one like this: navigation div | contents div | right menu div No headers and footers and all 3 columns extend to the bottom of the page (all same height). thanks in advance. Hello everyone I've created a faux background for a website I'm currently working on to create the illusion of a column extending to the bottom of the page. The url is as follows: http://notquiteperfekt.gamedaemons.net/eruptmediav2/erupt.html The CSS code I've used is: body { background-image: url("images/pgbkg.jpg"); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 50% 0%; } ---- When viewing the page in Internet Explorer 5.0+ it lines up fine. However, in order for it to line up successfully, I had to add the following code to nudge my <body> content over: html body {padding-left:11px;} ---- Fine and dandy, the extra code made things line up quite nicely. Then comes FireFox. The <body> content is 1px to the right of the background & causes the page to be a little off-center. View the previous URL in FireFox to better understand what I mean. ---- When I don't use the html body {padding-left:11px;} then the page is approximately 11-12 pixels off center - however my CSS code tells the background to position itself 50% on the X-axis & my HTML code tells the body to center itself as well via align="center" Why do these two not line up then? ---- If anyone can view->source to pick out what's causing this & reply back it would be greatly appreciated. You can reply here or e-mail me at sevunx@gmail.com.NOSPAM - I thought I was past all of the headaches with CSS Ok, heres what is driving me nuts: Pretty typical 2 column layout, header, footer, etc. Although here's the glitch...I'm using css and js to round the corners on most of my divs, so while the js approach works it successfully destroys my rounded corners, this is also why the fauz column hack won't work either. I have an rss feed in my #sidebar div which being dynamic adjusts the div height to fit the content, great! my main content area (in this case 2 divs in a container) is fairly static content set at 800px. Now I can adjust the height of the rss feed however it also successfully breaks my corners (basically the rounded corners stay some where around 750px but the div does expand to 800px with a squared bottom) Is there anyway to either set the height of my #sidebar or is it possible to have my main content area always expand to the #footer? Geez or anything to solve this problem. Here's my CSS: Code: div#container{width:100%;margin: 0 auto;background-color: #000000; overflow:hidden;text-align: center}
div#header{width:98%;background-color: #000000;padding:0px 0;text-align:center;margin: 0px 0px 0 10px}

Dave I feel like I am going backwards instead of forward. I have made many changes to the layout trying to achieve what I want I had something close, but it was for a fixed height for the main page layout box and I needed something that will be a min height of 600px but will stretch if the content exceeds that. So now after reading many tutorials on boxes, blocks, layouts, floats, etc. I am actually further from acheiving my goal (I think). I feel like I am losing my mind trying to figure it out I have made each major box a different color for purposes only of trying to get the layout right and figuring out what each element is actually doing - so ignore all the funky colors. I tried using a background image to create a faux side column (hot pink border) that I hoped would do the trick - however, I can't even get it to show up. I realize there has got to be something I am over looking - but what??? I tried using the css toolbar helper - the bg image is outlined but not showing up?? There are no broken images either ??? Click here to see the page So here is my css: Code:
/*Main Section two columns under top section*/
#wrapper{
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #660099;
padding-top: 10px;
position: relative;

Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:
div#navigation {

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;
BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 2px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
HEIGHT: 200px;
WIDTH: 150px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
div.float p {
text-align: center;
}
div.container {
border: 2px dashed #333;
background-color: #ffe;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. |
