CSS - Collapsing Border / Full Height Column
Hi,
I have a border around the content of my page which is limited in width but not height. Some of the pages have more content then others so the height adjusts. I also have a left column and a black background with and image in this column but I have 2 problems 1. In IE I can't seem to get this black column(div) to extend to the full height of the column so that it reaches the border. 2. In Firefox this left column extends all the way down the page and the border doesn't surround the text it sort of collapses The column is left floated and in a div and the content is right floated and in a div as well which is all surrounded by a div with a border. I would appreciate any help that you might offer. Thanks Similar TutorialsHello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later Code:

In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance This seems like it should be very easy to do but something is preventing it from working. I was following the guide at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins but with my navigation column on the left. A summary of my layout right now is: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> <div id="navigation" <div id="navlist"> </div> </div> <div id="clearing"> </div> </div> my css: #container { float: right; margin-left: -16.8em; width: 100%; background-color: #2586d7; } #navigation { float: left; width: 14em; background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #wrapper { background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #navlist is a div containing a styled ul for navigation. #clearing { clear: both; height: 0; } So basically the navigation div is supposed to extend to the bottom as far as the container div goes. According to the guide at AListApart it should be working but is something else in my code interfereing? If everything above should work fine, I can post a link to the test file so you can see the rest of the code. Thanks for any help! This is the first site I have attempted to layout using CSS and have ran into a slight problem that I can't figure out so I am looking to the expertise of others. I have a layout that contains a sidebar (used for sub-nav) and a content area all inside of a wrapper. When there is content in the sidebar all is fine in IE and Firefox; however when I include no content in the sidebar IE looks fine but Firefox collapses the space where the sidebar was and begins the content there. Here are some of the links; Appearing correctly due to content in sidebar: http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/the_program/the_program_index.html Appearing incorrectly due to no content in sidebar: http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/contact/contact.html The CSS file can be found he http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/css/stylesheet.css Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Brian Hi all! After trying more then a few things I'm about to give up, so I hope someone here has the answer. The problem is the following: * A website contains 3 DIV columns and an header at the top, this is all inside a single wrapper DIV which centers the webpage. * All three columns should have the same length as the longest column. * When the content in the 3 DIV columns is shorter then the height of your browser window, the DIV elements should fill-out until the bottom of the screen. Point 2 is doable. Point 3 is doable. But the combination of point 2 and 3 seems quite hard. Hope someone has an idea . Thanks! can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } 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">

I am looking for some examples on making this layout: ----------HEADER---------- nav content - - - - - - - - - - - - ----------FOOTER0--------- The page needs to be 100% the height of the browser window with header at top, footer at bottom and the content/nav being a minimum height of enough to fill the screen vertically and should be expandable. Anyone got any pointers? I have 2 div columns on a web page, they are positioned using css... the right column is taller than the left column, but the left column does not expand to the full height of the right column... I require this, because the left column has a background color that I want to go right to the bottom of the page. I have height: 100%; in the css style for the left column, but that only makes it 1 screen high... does anyone know of a way to make it the full height of the other column, ie stretch? I have tried height: auto; but that doesnt work either. Ok I've got this... Code:
<html>

FOOTER

Which works beautifully in opera, the green part is the full size of the document with all those a<br> in there (or without), and the footer is perfectly placed at the bottom. But both IE (testing on version 6) & NS (testing on version 7.1) display the footer at the bottom of the window when it loads, not after the container div is finished... Also in NS the container divs background colour finishes once you scroll down a little. Now I've tried many different ways around this. I know what its like when I spend too long looking at one thing, I end up missing the obvious - so I thought I'd throw it out to a wider group for observations... I thank you in advance. -D Hello, In CSS is there a way to tell an object to extend the full height and width of its parameters without specifying height and using absolute positioning? Thanks, Andy I'd like to make a 2-column layout where each column fills the height of the container div, and the container div's height is determined by the longest div within it... this is getting a bit confusing, because I can't have one being determined by the other one with that one being determined by the first, if that makes sense?

thanks Matt Hi All, I'm having a problem with column lengths and subsequently the borders that define them. On the following site: http://www.oharenoise.org/new/ The layout is exactly how I want it, roughly a 3-column deal. However, you'll notice that the far right column border does not go down to meet the top border of the footer (like the middle column does). This is because it has less content than the middle. I've tried putting a container div around these two columns thinking that if I put the border on the right side of the container that both columns would expand to the container size but that didn't do anything. I also tried adding paragraph tags to the right column but could never get both columns to ever match up. Any ideas? Thanks. I'm having problems with my CSS. I have three columns. 1) Left for navigation 2) Middle for content 3) Right for sidebar I am using this format for a template. The right sidebar column sometimes will be longer in height than the middle column depending on content of the page. The Middle column has a 1px solid line on the left and right (using it as a visual divider). So I really want the Middle column to extend and follow the height of the Right sidebar. I can't add the border to the Right sidebar column because it has it's own border already. What code should I use for the middle column? I currently have this: Code: #middle {
float: left;
width: 375px;
background: #fff;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
}
Thanks in advance. I'm working on a new design for my blog and having a problem with a border. I have a three column layout and want to have a border on the left, right, and bottom the container div, but instead of surrounding it it just sticks it at the top by itself. Heres the page and css Code:

I'm sure its something stupid but I haven't been able to figure it out all day. Everyone complains about trying to get percentage column widths and fluid lengths in CSS but I've got problems with percentage height. My CSS and HTML are below. What I want to do is make sure the footer is always at the bottom of my page (with no scroll bars) and adjust the boxes in the right column to fill the height between the header and the footer using percentages. The main reason for this is I don't want a gap at the bottom of my rightside boxes and ths page will be viewed on unusual ratio screens with varying height. I may also possible need to use borders between my boxes and the content so could you also tell me if this is a problem.

I cannot figure out what's going on with my site. The white background box does not have the height of 100%. I was working but I changed something to get the columns to line up right for IE. Can anyone help.... beachweeklive.org I have a css layout in which I cannot get the height of my columns to extend correctly. If I declare a height, then that fixex the height temporarly until I enter more text then the column will overlap the footer. I have tried using the clear left and clear right for both columns but that doesn't work either. Would anyone mind looking over my code too see what I'm doing wrong. Here is the code: Code:
<body>
<div id="topper">
<div>
<a href="">Header</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="contentHolder">
<div id="wideBox">
<div id="mainBox">
<div id="frame" class="homeFrame">
<img src="i/home.jpg" alt="Park Hill Christian Church" />
</div>
<div id="nav">
<p><a href="">Menu 1</a> <a href="">Menu 2</a> <a href="">Education</a> <a href="">Menu 3</a> <a href="">Menu 4</a> <a href="">Menu 5</a> <a href="">Menu 6</a></p>
</div>
<div id="right">
Column Right
</div>
<div id="lineBacker">
<div id="content" class="homeContent">
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
<p>Body Content</p>

</div>

I think problem lies within the #content id because if I set a height or min-height that will solve the problem temporarly. If anyone could look at this I would be very grateful. Thanks, Teamhonda81 Is it possible to set the height of a border? I have a line that is set to a height of 29px with a 1px right border and I want to make the border less than the full height. If it is not possible could I work around it with an HR aligned to the right? CSS so far: PHP Code: #nav li { border-right: 1px solid white; float: left; width: 75px; } #nav { width: 759px; height: 29px; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 29px; background-image: url(images/navbg.jpg); } I have a brand new site going, and I am having a bit of trouble with the left hand column in IE. It all looks fine as long as the content doesn't take up more space than the height of the banner (I have a skyscraper ad there, nothing else). It's also ok in Firefox, Chrome, etc. But in Internet Explorer, the left hand column refuses to stretch down to the bottom if there is a lot of content, despite being set to 100% height, and I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm certain the code is... unconventional. But it works, aside from IE... I'd really like to explain this better, but I can't post links to show screenshots or anything. the site is comicnex(dot)us I mean, basically, there is a header comprised of 2 boxes, a large one with the header graphic and a twitter box, and a narrow one with a navigation buttons. a narrow column to the left, the content to the right, and a footer at the bottom. The problem arises when the content box gets too full, then the side bar doesn't stretch. *edit - I just discovered another problem in IE. again, I'd show screenshots of what is going on if I could. Basically, if you make the browser narrow, the left column moves to the right, and covers up content in the content area. Again, only in IE. I don't know how to explain it better than that, you'll just have to type in the URL and see it while using IE. |
