CSS - Dynamicly Setting Height Of Div Classes
this is my layout as of now
http://72.232.208.44/new/ you can probally look at it and see what else needs to be done, its very close to completion. theres a div called "left-side-gradient" which is that small thing light bluegreenish line down the left side. right now how ti works is however long i set that line to be is how long the main content area is. which is backwards, i need the left-side-gradient line to be however long the main content div is. and the main content div needs to always stretch down to the bottom panel i've tried everything with all sorts of css variations and i can't figure it out. also i need to do the same sort of effect to the right-side-gradient. but im sure if someone tells me how i can fix the left side i can apply the same sort of rules to the right side. also the top banner portion and the lower content portion has this small gap in them. i can't seem to get that gap to go away either :/ (my html and css are w3 validated) HTML Code:

Similar TutorialsCoding my site up, and I've hit a stump. I've got a box div that I'm putting text in. I try adjusting the height, and it works fine in Mozilla/Firebird, but IE just seems to ignore it (which is causing me problems). Anyone familiar with this? Hi guys, Before I go on, here's the page I'm referring to: http://student-consolidation-loans.co.uk/newsite3/ In IE 6 on the PC the layout is how I want it, however, skip over to the mac and it doesn't look correct in any browser (safari, IE, firefox...) The problem is I've given one of the DIVs (the one that contains the white and black diagonally striped background) an auto height so it stretches to fit all the content, but while IE 6 is picking up on this none of the mac browsers are. Is there a workaround? thanks! I've got a problematic background DIV. It fills up the entire viewport and looks correct, but cuts off at the bottom (one screen height down) when I scroll. How can I get this DIV to span the entire height of the document, instead of just the height of the viewport? BTW, it works fine in IE 6, but cuts off in FireFox 0.9, Opera 7.5, and Netscape 7.1 Here's the code (you'll have to populate the content DIV to get scrollbars and witness the problem): Code:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Fixed. Is there a way that this can be done, basically I have a div hidden based on certain JS logic, but the amount of space of the content in the div is still taken up on the screen. I would like to make the div say 0xp and discard content. Is there any code that can help me, I've looked but can't find. Thanks Greets, I'm trying to get the follwing collumns to display on the complete height of the element they are nested in. Each of the 3 collumns currently only take the space required by the content that is in said element. Preview: The current layout is set with 3 divs (2 left floating, and the bigger one on right-float). I don't want to use tables/cells and I cannot use min-height as the content will be filled by the customer using a CMS. I Wish i could use something like: Code:
#col_1 {height: parent.height;}
here is a link to the actual page, please note that to use the style i am talking about you will have to use the top left select element and choose GH_02 -v. (this is my 1st attempt to have the same content with multiple css sets...) I'm wondering what's the word is called for setting the image width and height in CSS Code:
img.test
{
<<What's the keyword??>>: 10 px;
}
Thanks, FletchSOD This is not too important but my site (http://www.o0matte0o.myby.co.uk/) Sorry nearly fixed it sorry just gotta work out how to get the background to cover the text aswell Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem?

It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}

I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. Hello 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 If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
height: 150px;
width: 750px;
}
#bannerPic {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#bannerText {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: -150px;
}
And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. Hi people, critique this piece of code for a yellowheader and a blue id and tell me what the problem is. It seems both end up as black <style type="text/css"> h3.Big Bird{color:yellow;}/*Class Font#CookieM{color:blue;}/*Id*/ </style> <h3 class="BigBird">Big Bird</h3> <font Id="CookieM">Cookie Monster</Id> Hope to hear from you soon. kaz heya this doesnt seem to work the second class complety overwrites the first ? id like it to append the second one ? any ideas eg main.css .main-header-back { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 793px 0px; overflow: hidden; } index.php .main-header-back { background-image:url('/images/main/image.gif'); } ok here is the question. i have done two websites, i have tested them out in multiple browsers and all seemed fine. When i test them in IE the text runs into to image. I am using div classes to control the image. Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated and hints or solutions would be more then welcomed. I am banging my head against a will trying to figure this out. Thankyou All I've been trying to clean up my code and in the past I never seemed to make use of predefined html element tags like the H1-H6...and instead I just find that I just make a new class but I was wondering if there is anything wrong with using the H-tags in place of a few classes? Obviously it would have to make logical sense to use, but I'm wondering if there has been any changes in how browsers use those tags in the past few years as I wouldn't want to be using an outdated, soon to be phased out element. |
