CSS - Make 2 Divs The Same Height
i have 2 divs
one is a navigation bar, the other is the pages main contents. the contents and navigation links changes from page to page so i need a method so if the content is long, the navigation will stretch down long too to be the same height of the content, and the same thing vice versa. how do i go about doing this? Similar TutorialsHi 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! Hey guys, so I've cleaned up my code a bit. Read up on semantic coding. I think it's a bit better. Anyways, I'm trying to make my right and left content div's the same height. I've tried the faux technique, and it doesn't seem to work. Anyways, I was wondering if it's worth the 5 hours of headache to avoid using tables to setup the layout? I think it would be nice to have it in DIV's, that way if I want to switch left to right, and vice versa, it would be a breeze. Also, for the content, I'd like the left (main) side to be the remainder of the page width, and I'd like the right side to be 260px. If it works better, I wouldn't mind having the main part 77% of the width and the right side be 23%. Anyways, here's my code: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Beta</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- @import url("layout.css"); --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <!-- Site Head --> <div id="header"> <div id="banner"></div> <div id="head_user_container"> <div id="head_avatar"><img src="img/layout/avatar_test.jpg" alt="User Avatar" /></div> <div id="head_user_info">Welcome <a href="">Mike Jensen</a> (<a href="">Sign Out</a>)<br /><a href="">Edit Profile</a><br /><a href="">Message Center</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- End Site Head --> <!-- Menu --> <div id="menu"> </div> <!-- End Menu --> <!-- Start Top Ad Banner --> <div id="top_ad"> </div> <!-- End Top Ad Banner --> <!-- Main Content Container --> <div id="content_container"> <div id="main_content"> eh... </div> <div id="right_content">right content <br />yes sir</div> </div> <!-- End Main Content Container --> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> and heres my css: Code: /*Basic Elements*/ body { font-family: "trebuchet MS", calibri, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #303030; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0 20px; background-color: #d8d8d8; } p { margin-top: 10px; text-align: justify; font-family: "trebuchet MS", calibri, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 10pt; } a:link { text-decoration: underline; color: #417cb3; } a:visited { text-decoration: underline; color: #417cb3; } a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #5e9cd5; } acronym { font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px dotted #417cb3; } /*Specific DIVs*/ #container { margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; max-width: 1204px; min-width: 950px; height: 100%; clear: both; text-align: left; position: relative; } /*- Banner -*/ #header{ background-color: #417cb3; height: 74px; width: 100%; clear: both; float: left; border-left: solid 1px #496986; border-right: solid 1px #496986; } #banner{ background-image: url(img/layout/not_yet.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; width: 284px; height: 74px; } /*End Banner*/ /*Head User Info*/ #head_user_container{ background-image: url(img/layout/logged_info_bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; clear: both; height: 66px; position: absolute; right: 4px; top: 4px; } #head_avatar{ background-image: url(img/layout/ban_avatar_bg.jpg); height: 66px; width: 64px; float: left; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 1px; padding-left: 1px; } #head_user_info { background-image: url(img/layout/logged_info_end.jpg); background-position: right 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; min-width: 225px; max-width: 500px; float: left; height: 66px; margin-left: -1px; font-family: "trebuchet MS", calibri, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #FFFFFF; padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px; } #head_user_info a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #5dbdfa; } #head_user_info a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #5dbdfa; } #head_user_info a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #7fc9f8; } #head_user_end { float: left; background-image: url(img/layout/logged_info_end.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 66px; width: 3px; } /*End Head User Info*/ /*Menu*/ #menu{ background-color: #417cb3; background-image: url(img/layout/menu_bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 34px; width: 100%; clear: both; border-left: solid 1px #94aec5; border-right: solid 1px #94aec5; } /*End Menu*/ /* Top Ad Banner*/ #top_ad{ background-color: #ededed; height: 109px; width: 100%; clear: both; border-left: solid 1px #94aec5; border-right: solid 1px #94aec5; } /*End Top Ad Banner*/ /* Main Content */ #content_container{ width: 100%; overflow: hidden; clear: both; border-left: solid 1px #94aec5; border-right: solid 1px #94aec5; } #main_content{ background-color: #fff; clear: both; margin-right: 260px; } #right_content{ width: 260px; background-color: #ffead1; position: absolute; right: -1px; top: 217px; } /* End Main Content */ Here's the site, and what it looks like right now: http://24.16.238.252/sd_beta/working/layout2/ Anyways, thanks for all your help guys! If you need more info, let me know! Here's the template I'm working on: http://dhost.info/justusvizslas/template.php Here's my problem: I'm trying to create a centered, two-column layout with a header and a footer, sort of like the tutorial he http://nemesis1.f2o.org/aarchive?id=7 I've got everything working correctly and it looks fine in IE. However, in FireFox, the container div doesn't automatically adjust its height to be the same as the height of the divs inside. Instead, I have to set the height at a certain number of pixils to even get the container div to show up. When I do that, in IE the container div defaults to the same height as the larger of the two inner divs, but in FireFox the container div just stays at whatever pixil height I specified. That becomes problematic because I don't plan on having all my pagecontent divs with the same height. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I've been looking at this for hours and haven't gotten it to work like it should. Here's the relevant code too: CSS Code: #container { width:792px; height:50px; margin: auto auto; color:#000000; background-color:#FFFFFF; background-image:url(design/menuimage.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y; } #navigation { width:125px; height:auto; padding:0px; float:left; margin-top:auto; vertical-align:top } #pagecontent { width:667px; height:auto; padding:0px; float:left; margin-top:auto; color:#000000; background-color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center } PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="navigation"><?php include "nav.php"; ?></div> <div id="pagecontent"> <br />Some more content here<br /> </div> </div> Again, thank you in advance for any help with this. If you're stumped and think it should work as-is, go ahead and go to the actual template I'm working on (first http link in this post) and look at it in IE and in FireFox to note the difference. Hey everyone, I'm having troubles with some DIVs. I'm trying to divide a page into 4 equal sections. If I remove the doctype declaration, it looks right in Firefox 3.5.2 In ie it is all sorts of crazy. 100% height of the inner objects seems to be referencing the window height and not the parent elements height. I'm more concerned about Firefox anyway. I expect IE to require some hacks. If I set an absolute size to the body, in px, everything works fine. But if I have the body set to %, things shrink. I tried creating a wrapper div and setting it's height/width to 50% but that didn't work either. I tried to find a solution on kravvitz and bon rouge's sites but I didn't find anything that was 100% fluid. Any ideas?

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> I have a 3 column layout. Each column may contain one or two articles with a border at the bottom of each article. The There are two borders between the three columns. I'm trying to use floated divs as containers for each of the columns, with a left-hand border in the center and right columns. You can see a non-css example at: http://www.sananselmopreschool.org/pilot/ Well, no matter what I do, I haven't been able to get the column containers to extend to the bottom of the page in IE. If I set them to height:100%, they seem to shoot out to 150% or so. body { height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; background-color:#ECF6DD; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px; color: #707070; text-align:center; border: 1px solid purple; } .body_container { position: relative; height:100%; width:100%; left: 0px; border: 1px groove darkred; } .body_position_center { height:100%; position:relative; width:780px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; border-collapse:collapse; border: 1px solid #999 ; } .header { padding:0; margin:0; position:relative; width:766px; height:195px; } .leftblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .centerblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .rightblock { position: relative; height:100%; border-left:3px dotted #228B22; float:left; width:250px; } .blockcontents { padding-top:14px; padding-bottom:14px; border-bottom : 3px dotted #228B22; text-align:left; } Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't used much javascript, so unless I can see an example, it might be tough to work out a javascript solution. I was experimenting this weekend with some CSS 'page-sculpting', using small divs to make shapes, etc. I used FireFox as my testbed and of course everything went smoothly. I switched over to IE6 and saw that every div had a minimum height-it looked like 1em. I specified height and width on all <div>. Some used borders, some did not. An example would be: PHP Code: <div style="height:2px; width:3px; background:green" ></div> Has anyone else come across this or know of a fix? I haven't tried <span> or other tags (I will...just thought of that), tho I suspect they'll behave the same. Any help appreciated. NotGoddess I had my css working fine and then I decided to change the layout and I almost have the new style sheet finished. However, I am trying to divide my header field into 2 columns (each 50% of the width), the left most column will have my banner and the right most column will be split in half (each half being 50% of total height), with 2 rows, one for a search field and the other for my main site navigation. However, the 2 rows are not taking up the 50% of the height that I would like for them to take up. Any ideas as to why? I tried defining min and max height, but that didn't work...

Hello, not sure I know how to explain this. I have a page that I want to divide in two parts. To do so I am using floats. The problem is that the content in one div is not the same as the content in the other div and therefore the height of the two floated div is different from one another. However, I want that the div's have a border that seperates them and I would like this border to be from top to bottom of the containing div regardless of which of the two floated div is the highest. I could do this with javascript but I would like to know if there is some pure html/css option. Here is my example; Code: <html> <head> <style> .main { margin: 0px auto; width: 800px; border: 2px solid red; } .wrap:after{ content: "."; display: block; position:relative; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .wrap{ display: inline-block; } /* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .wrap{height: 1%;} div.wrap{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ .left { float: left; width: 100px; } .right { float: left; width: 680px; border: 10px solid blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="left">My left div has more.<br/>more..<br /><br />more...<br /><br /><br />lines then the right one</div> <div class="right">My Right div has only one line but need border till down there ...</div> </div> </div> </body> </html> As you can see in the example the border of the right div does not go down till the bottom border of the main div. Hi, I have been puzzle for a while now working out how to do this. I have two fixed height divs which I want to appear on the same line (inline). However to maintain the fixed height they cannot be set as display: inline; (Well that works in IE but not in Firefox). Anyway I find out that setting one div to float left and the other to float right with another div with clear:both works fine. However when it comes to setting the position of the flash elements I want in each div element it works now in Firefox but not in IE. I currently have: <div id="diva"> <object id="face1" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face1" value="face1.swf"> <embed src="face1.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="divb"> <object id="face2" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face2" value="face2.swf"> <embed src="face2.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="clear"></div> With the relavent css: #div1 { background-image : url(images/bg1.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: left; text-align : center; vertical-align : bottom; } #div2 { background-image : url(images/bg2.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: right; text-align: center; vertical-align : bottom; } #clear { clear: both; } img { border: 0px; } #face1{ padding-top: 220px; left: 30px; } #face2{ position: relative; top: 220px; left: 10px; } Effectively what I want is: Where the divs are on the same line and are fixed height (as they have a background) and then each swf element releatively positioned inside the div...which will work in Firefox and IE! Thank you for your time. Hi, Take a look at this page: http://nazgulled.home.sapo.pt/table.html This is easly done with tables as you can see, now, I want reproduce the same effect with divs but I don't know how. My exact problem is, how can I center more than 1 div tag in the same "line". And for any div tag I use the float option, I can't align the text to anywhere, how can I do this too? http://www.webpagedesignrus.co.uk/DECS Code: #container { margin: auto; width: 100%; display: block; text-align: center; height: 100%; } #middle { text-align: left; margin: auto; width: 600px; height: 100%; background-color: #FFF; } #main { margin: auto; background-color: #FFF; border-left: solid black 1px; border-right: solid black 1px; width: 650px; height: 100%; cell-padding: 0px; cell-spacing: 0px: } I can't get the white part to be 100% height... I need it to go to the bottom of the page... Please help... I am new to CSS so bare with me if this is dumb, i have taken my page to the bare minimum trying to diagnose this. Mozilla Firefox does not seem to work with nested divs the way I think it should. IE7 works like a champ. I have a content area (mainpage) with a Vertical Navigation bar nested in it. I would expect the page to have a full background of coatedmetalsm.jpg since the mainpage is set to height: auto; But this only works in IE and Mozilla has no background. Can someone show me the error of my ways?

I want the divs to be the same height but for the over all height to adjust to the size of the content. Is this possible? You can see the layout I have in the following gif. If anyone wants to see the code I've written so far, just ask and I'll upload a zip file or something. It's the divs with the screenshot link and the test text that I want to be the same height. I've not assigned height properties to either as just giving them height:100% properties seems to do nothing. How do I get the 'results' div to be 100% in height ? The page height changes depending on the page being shown so need to have the height of the div to be 100%, but using 100% for the div does not make it 100% ! Any ideas how I do this ?

I would like my footer to automatically fall to the bottom of the page no matter what screen size someone has. Any ideas? Thanks! I'm not so CSS savvy, can anyone help me with the specific changes needed here that will force the 3 columns to load height at 100% or full column height? Also is it possible to have multiple content boxes loading one above the other in the left and right columns instead of one long content box? jarsandmixes.com/liquid.php body { background-color: #FFF7EF; } div { text-align:center; } div#wrapper { background-color: transparent; border:0px solid black; margin:0px auto; text-align:left; position:relative; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; } div#border { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:10px; } div#page { background-color: #DEC6B5; border:1px dashed black; position:relative; clear:both; float:left; width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; padding-bottom: 10px; overflow:hidden; } div#header { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; border:1px dashed black; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:100%; height:80px; } div#menu { clear: both; background-color: #CA7B93; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } div#left1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; float:left; margin:5px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#left2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#content1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:5px auto; width:54%; height:auto; } div#content2 { background-color: #DEC6B5; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; width:96%; height:auto; } div#divider { background-image: url(images/.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; margin:10px auto; width:439px; height:60px } div#right1 { background-image: url(images/bkg2.gif); background-repeat: repeat; float:right; border:1px solid black; margin:5px; right:10px; width:20%; height:auto; } div#right2 { background-color: #FFF7EF; background-image: url(images/bkg3.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border:1px solid black; margin:0px 5px 0px 5px; padding:4px; right:20px; width:90%; height:auto; } div#footer { clear: both; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; width:100%; height:30px; } |
