CSS - Force Width Of Div Box?
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;
}
Similar TutorialsHi, 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.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? 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'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?!

I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts.

Any thoughts? 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? 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. 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> Hi everyone I am running a blog that uses xhtml and css style sheets to generate templates. I have about 10 templates that I would like to switch to and from. I want to add a banner on the bottom of the page, but I cannot figure out how to do it correctly. If I add it to the footer templates, before the </body> tag, it does not always come out correctly. Sometimes it the banner ends up in the 3rd column over to the right, sometimes the banner is obscured by the body of the main column. I am trying to find a way to forcefully push the banner to the bottom of the page, below all of the text that is generated. I was thinking that perhaps javascript could be used to force a banner underneath, but I am not too familiar with the sort of code that is in my blog. any ideas? thanks Roy Suppose this: ----- Header Div Content Dive Footer Div ----- Is there a way to force a footer div to the bottom of the window even when there isn't enough content above to fill the window? Maybe some way to "pad" the content div? Hi all, I made a recent post having trouble with a three column layout. Its not really had much attention however it wasn't really clear what i was asking. I wanted the two outside columns which only contained background images to be hiden in the background from the viewpoint. You can see my original post here, it includes two diagrams: http://forums.devshed.com/css-help-...ion-584924.html Now I have edited the layout to a single column and used the images on the sides as borders. I am still having the same problem so I am now wandering if I can force the browser to centre on the main column... This would leave overhang on ether side but its only images to make the site look better. Currently the site will look good using a wide resolution but on standard 1024x768 i want the centre of the column to be in the middle of the browser window on load. Can I do it with css? javascript or ajax? If in javascript or ajax could you please like me a tutorial or something as i have no ability in those categories! Any help is great. Cheers. I have some code like this: Code:
<a href="">My Link is Long</a>
<a href="">My Link is Longer Than Yours</a>
The second link is coming at the end of a line and is breaking to the next line in the middle. Is there a way to force the entire <a> tag to go to the next line if it wont all fit on the current line? something like Code:
a {
behavior-when-getting-split-lines: do-not-split;
}
hi, im trying to get a long text to wrap in a div with a given width PHP Code: <div style=" width: 100px; word-wrap: break-word; "> aaweofajw;eofija;weoifja;weoifja;woeifja;woeifja;wieofj </div> however, the closest thing i found is "word-wrap: break-word;" which only works in IE. is there anyway i can get it to work in netscape or firefox? thanks! justin I have set font size to 8px, and IE, FF, Safari and Chrome all respect this and size the font to the value in question, but Opera refuses to comply. When I tested it, I've found out it wont show fonts that are smaller than 10px or 1em. Is there a way to force Opera to display fonts less than 10px or 1em? |
