CSS - Css Container Grows!!! Maybe...
Hey All,
I am wondering if it is possible to make a <div> container that grows depending on the size of the other <div> inside of it. Basically the scenario that I am going for... - I have a container <div> that centers all other <div>s on the page. - The container <div> has a double border on it that I would like to appear all of the time. - Depending on the content from page to page that sizes the <div>s inside the container <div> I want the container <div> to change (in height) so that the border stays and so that I can just keep the CSS definitions the same and not worry about changing them on every page. Is this possible? A cheesy way to do this is to just put a whole bunch of line breaks in the container <div> until the page is the height that I want it to be. That's fine, but it makes the code look sloppy and there HAS to be a better way to do this. ~darknailblue Similar TutorialsThanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a container that I put text (sentences) in. Depending on what the user clicks on, the text can be long or short. In IE, the container grows to match the amount of text required to fit into the container, but in FF, the container stays the same size and the text overflows the container. HTML: Code: <p class="resultscontainer" id="ShowInfo">Read Help Text He </p> id="ShowInfo" is for JavaScript. CSS: Code: p.resultscontainer {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px 8px 0px 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #A6A66F black black #A6A66F;
border-width: 6px;
height: 52px;
line-height: 26px;
background-color: #EDED8E;
}
p:first-line {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
text-decoration: underline;
}
Thanks for the help, Brad Let me start by saying I am a php programmer and just starting to get into CSS layouts (I'm a table layout person but trying to change that) Well I have searched and searched and I cannot find a solution to this. Basically as content_left and content_right grows vertically..... the content div they are in does not.... I tried display: table-cell as I've seen on some responses but that breaks in opera, the only way I can get it to look right is to do like height: 1000px; but the content will be dynamic so that won't work... I am sure there is a simple solution any help would be much appreciated thanks! Here is the code: Code: <style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
text-align:center;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#content {
position:relative;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#content_left {
position: relative;
width: 640px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid green;
}
#content_right {
position: relative;
width: 350px;
float: right;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
-->
</style>
and then the html Code: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="content"> <div id="content_left"><br />left<br /><br />left<br /></div> <div id="content_right"><br />right<br /><br />right<br /></div> </div> </div> Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:
<body>
<div class="colorbox">
<div class="colorboxtop">
<h2>title goes here</h2>
</div><!-- /colorboxtop -->
<div class="boxcontent">
<p>You should read this and <a href="#">Click Here</a>.</p>
<a title="Go Here!" href="#">[button]</a>
</div><!-- /boxcontent -->
</div><!-- /colorbox -->
</body>
No great complexity there...here's the CSS: Code:
body {
color:#666666;
font-family:Lucida Grande,Verdana,sans;
font-size:10px;
font-size-adjust:none;
font-style:normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:13px;
}
.colorbox {
margin-bottom:9px;
padding-bottom:15px;
width:300px;
border:thin solid #CCCCCC;
}
.colorbox h2 {
color:#FFCC33;
}
.colorbox {
color:#CC6633;
padding:0px 20px 15px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.colorboxtop {
background-color: #dddddd;
height:50px;
color:#666666;
background-image: url(images/bg_Tiles/stripe-dk-blue-green.png);
padding:auto 20px;
}
.colorbox a {
color:#C5DBE9;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}
Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind. So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix... (Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.) Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container. <!--AK47--> <div id="imgcont0"> <div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div> <div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div> </div> <!--/AK47--> imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be. Stylesheet: #imgcont0 { width: 825px; height: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #imgcont1 { width: 650px; } #imgcont2 { margin-left: 675px; width: 150px; } As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas? I'm not sure where I'm making my mistake but I can't seem to get the boxes inside the container to stay at 100%. Here is the css code Code:
body {
margin: 0; /* zeroes the margins on the body */
padding: 0; /* zeroes the padding on the body ~ Opera carries a default
padding and requires this zeroing */
border: 0; /* zeroes off any existing border */
text-align: center; /* Hack to center the wrapper in IE5.x pc */
background-color:#BB7900;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}
/* START OF LAYOUT FOR LITTLECREATIONSPHOTOGRAPHY.COM */
.wrapper { /* This is the block that contains all other blocks */
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:relative;
border:1px solid black;
}
.top_menu { /* This is the box that will contain the link at the top */
height:80px;
width:100%;
border-bottom:1px solid white;
}
.middle_container { /* This is the container box that keeps everything right width and center */
position:relative;
width:750px;
height:100%;
margin:0px auto;
z-index:0;
border:1px solid white;
z-index:1;
}
.left_content { /* This the the left hand on content box */
position:relative;
float:left;
height:100%; /*546px;*/
width:160px;
text-align:left;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 2px;
border-right:1px solid white;
z-index:2;
}
.right_content { /* The box that will contain right hand content, company title and picture */
position:relative;
height:100%;
margin-left:160px;
text-align:left;
padding:4px 2px 2px 10px;
border:1px solid black;
}
And here is the link that will show you want it looks like right now. http://littlecreationsphotography.com/css/ Thanks for any help that may come my way.. Stephen I am a new user to the board and apparently cannot make posts containing URL's. Examples illustrating my issues described below are at ...lilinks.com /gp/css_prob/kickboxing.html I want to get the vertical scrolling images to consistently display from the top of the page and terminate at the top of the black footer. Similar image scrollers will appear on other pages that will be of varying depth (follow the 'Brazilian Jiu Jitsu' link for an example) Right now I have one 'container' that would be used for all the pages. I could create separate 'containers' for each scroller and set the height in pixels, but of course I cannot control browser settings, OS, etc. So my basic question is how can I contain the 'container' to 100% of the main content area without exceeding it. I want it to look like this: /gp/css_prob/kb.jpg The style sheet is he /gp/css_prob/css/test.css Thank you in advance for your assistance. Hello, I am asking this here because maybe you people have seen something like this before. I am trying to create a container that will contain other div boxes. These boxes could have differen width and heigths, and I would like thos container to handle there position. I do not know if this is even possible, another solution would be that you put the boxes in the container and determine how many you want to display in one line. However thanks for any sugestions, regards, sim085 I have the following: Code:

Ideally, this will repeat and alternate colors but the text is not colored only a small section above the text. I thought that by enclosing it in the div, the background would be applied to the entire text. What am I doing incorrectly? here's my site for reference. http://www.tobaccosmokeshop.com/temp.htm here's some code PHP Code: #breakfootercontainer{ clear:both; border:solid 1px red; background:url(images/navback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding:0px 0px 0px 189px; width:100%; } #footer{ border:solid 1px green; float:left; width:562px; text-align:center; } breakfootercontainer is a div that spans the whole width of my site, but pads over for my navigation bar. The problem is, In IE the container holds the footer, but in Mozilla (PC) and on my mac in safari and Mozilla the container is only like 0 px height and the footer div pops over the bottom border on the container. Here's my code I'm using. PHP Code: <div id='breakfootercontainer'> <div id='footer'> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> </div> </div> What is causing the container to not fill around the info inside the footer? Also, I have 2 columns(red border around field picture and welcome column and the nav with the blue border) with a container around them (big white border around both), one shorter than the other (the red border column), but I want the shorter one to go the full length of the container (white border) so my column backgrounds line up and part of the page isn't longer than the other. I want to use my footer as a cap all the way across the page. Is there any way to do this without putting <br>'s in the smaller container to fill it out? Firefox is giving: http://www.promogift.be/index.php?page=producten&catnr=7 So it shows the content out of his box, after a refresh everything is correct, how can i get it working from first loadtime? Hi, I'm trying to center the main container here, as you can see it's aligning to the left: http://www.wordpressforrealestate.c...es/Design2/www/ If I remove the container width of 100% it centers, however, I need that 100% width so my footer background image can span across the whole footer. Any ideas? Thanks. I've losing my mind on this. When I look at the following layout in IE6, the "matterR" DIV background color is filling up the entire "content" DIV -- as opposed to staying in its container DIV ("columnR") like I need it to. Any idea why it's bigger than it's container DIV? Code: #content { margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px; width: 780px; overflow: hidden }
#columnR { width: 595px; height: 308px; float: right; overflow: auto }
#matterR { background: #6d6f71; padding: 20px 20px 40px 70px }
<div id="content">
<div id="columnR">
<div id="matterR">Scrolling text content here...</div>
</div>
</div>
Keep in mind that I can't really assign a pixel width to "matterR" -- as its container DIV needs to scroll vertically. It seems if I assign a pixel width, it want to scroll horizontally to compensate for the scrollbar. Any ideas? Thank you! Hi all, Helping out a buddy, but am stuck myself. Possibly simple fatigue. At this site, I'd like to move the entire center container up so that it's only about 20px below the very top. As of right now, when I do this, the top BG image disappears. As you can see from the CSS, there's actually two BG images. I don't want that, I merely want the center container to cover the BG. How, please? Thanks! Chris Hi all, I'm working on a website which has a horizontal navigation menu, much like the one on DaniWeb. Basically I need to include an icon which floats right for each list item. IE7 has a bug whereby if the container div does not have a width stipulated then a right floated element inside of the div will cause it to expand to 100% width. I've tried numerous workarounds that i've seen in blogs and other forums but to no avail. I've spent around 15 hours on this bug. I'm not a designer but due to lack of designer resource I'm having to take this on and finding it difficult to come up with a solution. Also the width of the container div is not known as the information is dynamic, so therefore I cannot simply set a fixed width. Here is an example of my code: Code: <div id="navSearchBar"> <!-- My repeater item --> <Item Template> <li> <a href="http://somelink.com">Click me<a> <img src="image_example.png" class="icon"> </li> </Item Template> </div> Code: #navSearchBar{
float:left;
width:auto !important; margin:0 0 10px;
background: #4594bf url(../LayoutImages/previewNav.png) repeat-x !important;
}
.icon
{
margin-top:4px;
margin-bottom:4px;
margin-right:4px;
margin-left:4px;
width:20px;
height:20px;
float:right;
}

Hi! I want to align my container div 120px to the left from the center, what css code should I use for that? You can see the homepage at madeleinegaterud dot com/test Hi All, I am trying to get the container div to contain the contents of the page, so that if someone has a lower res browser / reduces the size of the page, the whole thing colapses inwards. I simplly cannot get it to work! In IE it does not shrink, in FF the container shrinks, but the elements inside it dont. Charlie |
