CSS - Child Items Not Expanding Parents Vertically
I'm working on this vanity site for myself, and don't have a lot of experience doing table-free layouts. But I've seen the benefits of it firsthand and want to start doing it for everything.
An image of the layout I'm aiming for can be found here. The main problem I'm having right now is that when I put child <div>s into a parent <div>, the parent doesn't expand vertically. My main div that contains everything is "frame". Within "frame", there's "content_bg", and within "content_bg" there's "side", "blog" and "footer". I'm wanting all this to be centered and scaled 100% vertically, but I know that's a pain so I'm setting everything up first. - If I don't have the position property set to "fixed" or "absolute" in frame, it won't expand to contain the children. It will be 0px high. - If I don't have the position property set to "fixed" or "absolute" in content_bg, it has the same problem. - I can only set one or the other. Setting both expands content_bg, but not frame. - Sidepanel seems to have this problem too, but I haven't even started to try and fix it. Page CSS css Code: Original - css Code body { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000; background-image: url(assets/img/bg_stripes.gif); background-color: #2F2920; margin: 0px; } a { color: #544545; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } p { text-align: justify; } h1 { color: #2d5659; text-decoration: none; } #frame { background-image: url(assets/img/bg_frame.jpg); width: 996px; padding-right: 66px; padding-left: 66px; background-repeat: repeat-y; position: fixed; /* Without this, the background won't show for some reason */ } #frame #content_bg { background-image: url(assets/img/bg_main.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; } #frame #content_bg #blog { float: left; width: 540px; top: -30px; left: 20px; position:relative; } #frame #content_bg #side { background-image: url(assets/img/bg_sidepanel.jpg); position: relative; top: -66px; float: left; width: 275px; } #frame #content_bg #me { background-image: url(assets/img/me.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; width: 275px; height: 228px; } #frame #content_bg #header { background-image:url(assets/img/What-Happened-Final_06.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; width: 589px; height: 294px; } #frame #content_bg #side #linklog { position: relative; left: 29px; top: 2px; width: 208px; height: 248px; overflow: auto; } #frame #content_bg #side #linklog ul { margin-left: -35px; list-style-type: none; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 10px; } #frame #content_bg #side #linklog a { display: block; margin: 2px; padding: 3px; width: 176px; background-color: #E0C187; border-bottom: #CEB07A 3px solid; } #frame #content_bg #side #linklog a:hover, #frame #content_bg #side #linklog a:active { display: block; padding: 3px; margin: 2px; width: 176px; background-color:#F3D193; border-bottom: #CEB07A 3px solid; } #frame #content_bg #side #photolog { position: relative; left: 8px; top: 42px; width: 210px; height: 248px; } #frame #content_bg #side #photolog img { width: 58px; height: 58px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 10px; } #frame #content_bg #footer { background-image: url(assets/img/bg_footer.jpg); width:565px; height:218px; position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 366px; }

Any help and/or constructive criticism would be very greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsOk, Im somewhat of a newb when it comes to CSS so forgive me if any of thise doesnt make sense. Im writing a page that has 3 sections, a top-menu section, a middle dynamic section and a bottom static section. Ive elected to use layers to display content in the middle section based on a mouseclick in the top section. To do this Ive made used of a script that encloses the dynamic section in a div, with subsequent nested divs set to visibility: none until they are called to be displayed. The issue that I am having is I am trying to position the bottom static section, that should always remain visible, below the middle section depending on the height of the midle section. Essentially the bottom section should move vertically as the size of the midle section changes sizes. The style that Im using is: Code: <style type="text/css">
#container { position:relative; width:495; height: 400px; z-index:100 }
.lyr { position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:0; top:0; z-index:1 }
.layer { }
</style>
This is an example of the code in the body: Code: <a href="#" onClick="swapLayers('lyr0'); return false"><font>Click to return to the Welcome Text</font></a><br />
<a href="#" onClick="swapLayers('lyr1'); return false"><font>Click to return to the Welcome Text</font></a><br />
<a href="#" onClick="swapLayers('lyr2'); return false"><font>Click to return to the Welcome Text</font></a><br />
<div id="container">
<div id="lyr0" class="lyr">Layer 1</div>
<div id="lyr1" class="lyr">Layer 2</div>
<div id="lyr2" class="lyr">Layer 3<p> Continuing layer 3</p><p> Continuing layer 3</p></div>
<div class="layer">Layer 4</div>
</div>
With the above example Layer 1-3 will display based on mouseclicks. Layer 4 should appear beneath the currently displayed layer, and re-position accordingly based on the size of the preceding DIV. Does this make sense? Im not sure if Layer 4 should be nested inside the container div or below it. Thnx in advance for any help. How could I Force a parent div to vertically expand to size of its child div? Thanks in advance, Richard Carson As the title says... Design constraints unfortunately mean I need to do achieve the basic design shown in the example below (using a list) I have created an example to illustrate the problem I am experiencing. Problem example The list item text is wrapping too early in IE6 and IE7, though fine in my other target browsers such as Firefox and Opera. removing clear:left stops the wrapping, but then when 2 or more nav items have short content they sit on the same line which is no good obviously Any ideas / solutions etc. would be most welcome I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6. Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>

I'm doing this little look and feel thing to a Drupal site. In order to really do this I had to fire up a play Drupal on my testbed. Here's the testbed: http://chamber.colleenweb.com The top menu (where the tabs are horizontal the menus pop down) they want the sub menus not to cover up any of the main menu text when you mouseover them. I don't know absolutely where the bottom is, because it's height is based on how much text they have in the parent so I'm not sure how to do it. As you see the first menu tab has just one line, and its submenu naturally pops up where they want it. The second one, however has two lines of text, and so its popup obscures the lower part of the main menu tab's text. What do I override in the styles and what do I override it to? I'm using the Drupal nice_menus module. Here are the styles that come with it: http://chamber.colleenweb.com/contrib/modules/nice_menus/nice_menus.css And here is what I have overridden so far in my skin's style Mainly torquing the width, moving the arrow to the top, and taking away the borders. I tried torquing the height but I could not get a fixed height that looked good in both IE and FF. Code: ul.nice-menu-down li.menuparent {
background-position: right top;
}
ul.nice-menu-down li.menuparent:hover,
ul.nice-menu-down li.over{
background-position: right top;
}
ul.nice-menu-down li li.menuparent{
backgroundi-position: right top ;
}
ul.nice-menu-down li li.menuparent:hover,
ul.nice-menu-down li li.over{
background-position: right top;
}
ul.nice-menu,
ul.nice-menu ul{
border-top: 0px;
}
ul.nice-menu li {
border: 0px;
}
/* style for nice down menus color font etc. */
ul.nice-menu-down li a {
font-family: Lucida Grande, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 13px;
color: #003366;
width: 96px;
}
ul.nice-menu-down li {
width: 111px;
}
Oh and one more question, How do I make the very top graphic not have any blue border on it (only problem on IE on FF it is fine) I've heavy handedly 0px all the margin padding border and and it's still there. I'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Just like the title says, the child is wider than the parent, and i want it automatically centered, so t hat the centers of both divs are inline with each other. I tried the Code: margin 0px auto; which works if the child is smaller, but it doesn't seem to work in this case, any other ideas? Greetings, friends! I have a quick question about CSS. I am fairly versed in CSS 2.0 and the selectors that are used within. However, I am not sure if any specific type of selector is available to help me do what I want. I am looking for a selector that will define styles for an element that contains specific children. To give you an example, let's say that I have an image on my page. That image is assigned the class of "alignleft". Now, let's say that I make that image into a link. I would like to find a CSS selector that allows me to assign style definitions to that link. Let's say my code looks like: Code: <a href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="example-pic.png" class="alignleft" alt="Example Picture" /></a> Now, I know if it was the other way around: Code: <a class="alignleft" href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="example-pic.png" alt="Example Picture" /></a> I could use something like: Code: .alignleft > img However, I am not sure if there is any way to go up a level in CSS. I would envision it looking something like: Code: a < img.alignleft but I can't find anything in the CSS spec that refers to instances like that. Does anyone know of anything? For instance, I would want a spec that looks something like: Quote: E < F - Matches any E element that is the parent of an element F. The specific reason I'm looking for something like this is that I am using the class of "external" to assign a background image to all of my links that lead away from our Web site. However, if that link is an image rather than text, I want to set the background of my link to "none" so that the background image does not interfere with the image itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hello, I started off trying to find a content box that expands depending on screen res because the last one I made would break in the middle if the users screen res was over 1600px wide. This box worked great with the screen res but now I'm trying to put content in it and my content is not expanding the box down. Instead of pushing the box lower and forcing a scroll bar. The content keeps going down past the bottom of the box and makes a scroll bar. Any idea how I can make the box expand with my content? here is a link to my test page. http://www.gamerunion.com/test.html My css code. Code:

We have our magento store with lots of categories, but it looks silly with categories being added under the first row. We'd like to have these added on a row above this, but i am having a hrd time getting this done. Is there an easy way to have category items being added on top in a new row, instead of a new row under the current one? Simply put, instead of this way: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 We want it this way: 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 As you understand this will look much better and not screw with our design;-) Anybody? Hey guys, I've got a two column layout, and I want both columns to be the same height inside the wrapper. Ussually when I do this sort of thing I have a repeating background image or something so it makes it appear they are both the same height, except this template is using rounded corners, so a repeating background won't work. Code: #wrapper{
width:962px;
margin: 25px auto;
}
#mainContent{
width:735px;
background-color: #F4FEFE;
padding:0px;
border:0px;
float:left;
}
#rightColumn{
background-color: #F4FEFE;
width:207px;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
}
Click here to see what I'm talking about... I want that right column to match the height of the main content div. Would this only be possible using JavaScript or is there a CSS solution? Hello. Trying to construct a page with vertical expansion on both of two nested DIVs. Left column is primarily text which varies in length. Right column is a navigation/contact panel that is mostly fixed height, but want ability to drop in objects and expand vertically on some pages. I have tried to background image in container DIV, but I am still getting the content breaking out of the bottom of the DIV. Any other approaches? Min-height (could not get that to work either). Ideally I would like for these to have the same height. Not shading, so it doesn't need to be exact. Here's a sample of code (w/o all the junk). going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE.. Black Background Not Stoping!! I have started creating a new DIV layout for my website but can't seem to get it to function correctly. I finally got the DIVs to expand with whatever content is in them, but now they will only span to the height of the window and hide the rest of the content instead of expanding further and just making the IE window scroll. Maybe one of you guys can help me out?

ad = rightnav.inc Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. hi, Im making a site, and i decided to use CSS instead of tables.

it produces a good layout, with a header, 3 coloums and a footer. whoever, the boxes expand at different rates and the footer doesnt move down. the header also doesnt expand. i know how i can fix this, but i dont know how to fix it without making it so that its locked at a resolution. i would like the site to exapand as the window is made larger. here is an image of what i get - and this is what i am aiming to acheive - as you can see, i want all the boxes to be the same length, which is defined by the size of the largest box. also, i want to create 2 or more boxes on the left, only the bottom of which gets made longer. on the first image you cannot see the extra box because it is covered by the other one :-/ i would be greatful for any help you guys can provide me thanks, dynamyt I think that this is something really basic but I just haven't been able to put my finger on the problem. Can someone please point me in the right direction? In IE 6 the cell background (as defined in CSS) or the table cell size is not correct, but it looks fine in FF. The test page is: http://www.kdays.com/box/kerrin.htm ive been at this for a while now. i have a navleft.gif, navbody.gif, and navright.gif. what i want to do is make an expandable nav bar with the body repeating on the x axis. every attempt ive made doesnt work. im still fairly new to css. should i have a <div id="nav"> and within this div put a another div with id=navleft and another with navright? no idea how to go about this. any help would be appreciated. Hi all, I have a site where I have several divs that stack on top of each other for layout purposes and they fill the entire width of the screen. In the div that contains the content, I'm finding a rare case where a table appears that's so wide, it is off the edge of the content element. I wanted to do overflow:auto so that it wouldn't mess up the layout but the customer wants the layout to expand with the content. Since all these divs sit on top of each, they aren't really interacting with the div that has the content in it. Is the only way to make those expand to use JavaScript to detect the width and adjust on the fly or is there a better way to do it? I'll be happy to supply some code if you all need me to but its a lot so I'll hold off on that for now. |
