CSS - Scaling Columns In Css
Got it sorted now
Thanks - Dan. Similar TutorialsHello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs). My problem is: - divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows. Here is a html code: Code: <!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER -->

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg I've made an image to explain my problem pretty well : imgur dot com /n8uOX (apparently I am not allowed to posts links , however its kinda hard for me to explain the problem so its easier to just show it) basically i want my page to always be rendered as I intended it to. I am pretty sure my coding is quite bad and thats what caused the problem , yet if anyone have any way to fix this please post in this thread. Thanks How come IE obeys fixed and em font sizes and firefox doesn't? I want all my site text to be scaleable apart from the navigation text which I gave a fixed size of 10px. In IE the scaling is observed and all fonts are em apart from the navigation. In firefox however it scales ALL fonts which is very annoying. Is this a known problem? I am writing my site in XHTML 1.1 (application/xhtml+xml) entirely using ems. The page scales really nicely with browser text resizes however all of my rounded corners (background images), image bullet points, and any other background images do not. Is there any way to specify the background image width in ems? I think I'm going to have to mix presentational images with content otherwise. Hello, I'm new to these forums and I have a question. I am making a website (c-pj.net/lowercase/), and I'm having a problem. If I add too many posts or make a post to long it goes off the page, or at least the text does. What I mean by that is that the text ends up going onto the header and past my content holder image. Can anyone take a look at the source code, and my style sheet and tell me how I could make the height of my content area scale to the proper size, when I try to set it to auto it doesn't display at all. This could be caused by the fact that my content are is absolutely positioned but I'm just looking for some advice hopefully you guys understand my question. My style sheet is located he c-pj.net/lowercase/stylesheets/default.css Hi, I am having a problem with some getting a div to scale to the full height that I want it to. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is the link to the page in question: http://www.paultheillustrator.com/template.html Basically, I have 3 divs (wrapped in another div), floating left of each other. The left and right div are simply background shading images. The center div is where the content (on this page, my blog) is. The centre div and wrapper div heights are set to auto (as I want them to expand with the amount of content in the centre div). However, because of this, the left and right divs (which have no content, just a repeating background image), do not appear. Currently I have their height set to 100%. Any solutions would be much appreciated! Thanks, Paul Here is the CSS: Code:

Is there a way to tell a browser to NOT zoom it when the user tries to zoom the text... I ask because I use text in a menu bar that I do not want to scale at all. Thanks Prior to doing any serious mobile work, I learned if you had an image that was mostly decorative and didn't need to be read as part of the content, you used a background image. In today's world you have to support many mobile devices. There's a nice trick with <img> tags where you give them a max-width of 100%, and they will scale down proportionately on mobile devices. As far as I can tell, there isn't quite as good of a solution for background-images. Say I have a background image in a div, and I set the dimensions to match the background size - 600 x 300. To allow it to scale down on mobile devices, I set a max-width of 100%. But that doesn't scale the background image down, just crops it. So I set background-size: contain, which makes the background scale, but the div is still 300px tall. And that's where I run into the problem. How do I tell the div to only be as tall as its background? Am I missing something? I am just trying to create a simple layout, where there are specific margins around two color boxes. I'd like the color boxes to fill the space between the margins, 100% and to each take of 50% of height. I have kind of faked it...but I know there must be a better way. Any help would be great. Thanks. http://www.skimdesign.com/projects/mnomentana/ I have also reworked the code a bit, finding that if the position isn't "absolute" somewhere, the boxes won't show at all. Not sure why this is. But here is the reworked code: body { margin:20px 15px 10px 100px; font-family: trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; } #leftcontent { float:left; width:25%; background:#fff; } #rightcontent { position: absolute; width:75%; height:100%; min-height:100%; } #green{ height:50%; min-height:50%; background-color:#CCFF33; } #grey{ height:50%; min-height:50%; background-color:#999999; } thanks. Hi all, I have a problem in scaling images, I re-size all images by -50% to make them act as thumbnails at the following address: http://www.magic-photography.co.uk/photoselector.html It works fine in Chrome using the following simple CSS: Code: a img { border: none; height: 50%; width:auto; text-align: left; }
however in IE/Firefox the images do not re-scale at all. Very very grateful for any help offered. Thanks Hi: I am having trouble implementing a background image using CSS for compatibility with IE7, and if possible, IE6. In my CSS, I have the following code defined Code:
body{
margin:0px;
height:100%;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: black;
background-color:#fff;
background-image: url(../images/bg.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: absolute;
background-size: 100%;
}
/*
body{
margin:0px;
height:100%;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: black;
background: #fff url(../images/bg.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
*/
The results work fine in Chrome, Safari and Firefox on both PC and Mac. However, the image does not scale and gets cropped in IE7. I have tried it two different ways, both of which are in the code, and one of which is commented out. Neither way works properly with IE7. Does anyone have a solution to this that they could share with me. Thanks. Hello everyone, Ive been trying to reconstruct a web design from a photoshop design and it has bars going down the side of a center container where the content is, the problem im having is when the text and such in the content 'rule' goes over one line, prior to what i thought would happen, only the content 'rule' scales to the amount of text and the container rule does nothing. Is there a way to make the container scale with the content and have the bars scale with the container...? Heres the css and the html Code:
#container
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
top: 0;
width: 875px;
margin-top: -8px;
padding: 0;
overflow: visible;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
#secondbar

margin-left: 102px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
background: #4D220F;
}
#bar
{
margin-left: 6px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 96px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
/*[empty]height:;*/

}
#thirdbar
{
margin-left: 123px;
margin-right: auto;

How do I do that? Hi, i tried to change this blogger theme from 2 to 3 columns... but when done .... the menu bar on sidebar disapear... Can you help me?... for you I don't think is so difficult; I'm not a web designer but a system administrator... so, is not so easy. This is the link where you can find the xml. plantillasblogyweb.googlepages.com/Blogy-iPlantilla-Blogyweb.blogspot.c.xml Thank you in advance Surfparadise The columns work, however underneath the selected item, a gap forms. But only on the first 2/3 columns. Why? How can i stop it? Sorry about the messiness of the HTML code, it is dynamically created so readability in source code of page was not thought about! Sometimes you will be able to see it on my testing server. Screenshots for when my server is not online are attached.

Hi, I am looking to retrieve content from a database (that part I can handle) and then output it to the browser, but my css is poor. I want to create a two column format, which I am ok with using two div's in using absolute positioning in a relative frame, but that doesn't allow content to flow. I am looking for text that flows from the fixed bottom of the first column to the top of the second. If there is a way to do this, or anyone can point me to any resources, I'd appreciate it. Thanks http://jordanmeeter.com/?page=about How would I make it so the left and right columns increase in height as the content gets taller and taller? Thanks. :-) I'm building a CSS web site and the main body of the page has a left column containg navigation and then the content on the right. What I want to have is that the height of the smallest of the 2 columns to equal that of the the highest, currently the navigation either runs over the borders of the actual box, or the text from the right column undercuts the navigation column. To see what I mean see www.twstd.net/future/. Hoiw can I prevent the above display issues? Thanks. Notice on NZBMatrix.com on the left hand side, it looks as if there were multiple boxes where normally just one navigation box would exist in a three-column layout. I already know how to do a three-column layout, but my question is, are there several different columns on the left of this website, or is it just one column with several sections defined by borders? Thank you for any advice. |
