CSS - Make Height Same -- 2 Areas W/ 1 Dynamic?
I'm having trouble getting the height to be the same for two divs. One is a big content area (left) and the other is a vertical menu (right) that is created dynamically with PHP. I need the bottom of both divs to line up UNLESS there is a lot of content in the left div that makes the left side taller. (So, if there's not much text in the left content area, it should go ahead and line up with the bottom of the menu.) Is this possible? I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Code: #content {width: 750px;height: 100%;position: relative;margin: 10px 25px 0 25px;}
/*BEGIN LOCATION PAGES MINIMUM HEIGHT STYLES*/
/* for Mozilla/Safari/Opera */
*>.boxContent {padding-top: 900px;min-height: 1px;}
*>#locDoctors, .locInfoMap {margin-top: -900px;}
/* for IE, with IE5/Mac backslash filter \*/
* html .boxContent {height: 900px;}
/* end filter */
/*END LOCATION PAGES MINIMUM HEIGHT STYLES*/
/*BEGIN LOCATION BOX*/
#locationBox {background-image: url(../images/location/pgBotLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 614px;height:810px;position: relative;background-position: bottom;background-color: #DDF0F2;}
#locationBox .boxTop {background-image: url(../images/location/pgTopLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 100%;height: 20px;}
#locationBox .locInfoMap {width: 100%;height: 408px;background-image: url(../images/location/mapLarge.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: top right;}
#locationBox .boxBot {background-image: url(../images/location/pgBotLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 100%;height: 15px;}
/*END LOCATION BOX*/
/*LOCATION MENU START*/
#locationMenu {width: 136px;position: absolute;z-index: 10;right: 0px;}
#locMenuList {margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 9px;list-style: none;}
#locMenuList li {margin: 0;padding: 0;display: inline;}
#locMenuList li.main {height: 30px;height /**/: 30px;/* for IE5/Win only */ }

Similar TutorialsI'm creating an area that will have code snippets in it, I want it to scroll horizontally (wrapping may make the code inaccurate in some languages), but vertically I want the height of the area to grow dynamically. An example can be seen on this page: http://scratchprojects.com/2006/02/sample_article_tic_tac_toe_p02.php The problem is, in IE, if there is a horizontal scroll bar, it doesn't make quite enough room, so you have to scroll vertically as well. Shrink your browser window so the code snippet at the bottom of the page doesn't fit and you'll see the two scrollbars appear. In Firefox and Opera, just the horizontal scrollbar shows up. Here's the basics of the code: Code: <div class="code">
<pre class="codeblock">Private Sub menuAboutTTT_Click(ByVal sender _
As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles menuAboutTTT.Click
MessageBox.Show("Tic-Tac-Toe v1.0" & vbCrLf & _
"See how this and other programs work at" & _
vbCrLf & "http://www.scratchprojects.com")
End Sub ' menuAboutTTT_Click</pre>
</div>
Here's the style sheet: Code: .code {
text-align: center;
margin: 15px;
}
.codeblock {
text-align: left;
background: #fff;
border: 1px;
border-style: inset;
width: 99%;
height: auto;
overflow: auto;
}
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Hi I've got 4 divs that are of the exact same size. I need them to all occupy the same real estate on a page. three of them will always be hidden and only one is visible at a time, this is controled by javascript. My question is what kind of positioning tricks do I have to do in order to make these 4 identical sized divs occupy the same space. I tried relative positioning like this div1{ position:relative; top:0; left:0; height:200px;} div2{ position:relative; top:-200; left:0;height:200px;} div3{ position:relative; top:-400; left:0;height:200px;} div4{ position:relative; top:-600; left:0;height:200px;} This only moved the contents of each div up to the desired location, however, it did not move the actual div itself, so I'm left with the reserved 600px high worth of empty space Please help Ok im trying to have a division that expands with the content however, although this works in IE if i dont specify a height, in browsers like firefox the background color just stops even though the content carries on. Code: <div id="content"></div> Code:
div#content
{
background-color: #F3F3F3;
}
ive tried adding height: 100% but it doesnt make any difference I have a page where I would like to have boxes floating to the left. I have a constant width on the containing div, so that I get three boxes per row. Now, I would like these boxes to have the same height per row so that if one box have more content than the others on that row, they will stretch so that they all have the same height. I would like it to look like the products on www.netonnet.se, but using divs instead of tables. As I've done it now the boxes get different height. Anyone got a fix? here's my content and the css for the boxes: #contentProducts{ position:absolute; width:600px; margin-top:1em; } .box { float:left; text-align:center; width: 190px; background: #ffffff; border-right: 1px solid rgb(151,149,150); margin-left:0.4em; margin-bottom:0.5em; height:100%; } .box a{ font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #0c2c56; } .box a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } .box h1 { margin:0; font: bold 1em Verdana, Arial; text-align: center; } .box h2 { margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.9em 1em; font: .8em Verdana, Arial; text-align: left; } .box h3 { margin:0; font: 1em Verdana, Arial; text-align: center; color: #ce3929; font-weight: bold; } .box .contentProductButtons { position:relative; cursor:hand; background: url('../../Images/fill.gif'); background-color:#fff; border-right:1px solid #999; border-bottom:1px solid #999; Z-INDEX: 3; bottom: 0px; left:0px; margin-top:10px; WIDTH: 190px; height:20px } Hello, i am creating a dynamic content php page. I start with a photoshop image and create slices and have it output the HTML and CSS table. The problem i am having is that the center cell where the content should go does not expand when the the text goes out of its bound. Is there a way i can do this? Here is the code and a link to the example output. Code:

I can't get the white part to be 100% height... I need it to go to the bottom of the page... Please help... If you take a look here http://www.challengeyourdiet.com/login you may notice that the page does not go all the way down on big screens. 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 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? 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 ? Code:

So for a long time I've seen that widths for dropdown menus must be fixed for one reason or another. Trying to make it so that the width of the dropdown was dynamic worked in IE, not Firefox, or vice versa. For instance, you had a horizontal nav menu (<ul>), with two items (<li>s), "cars" and "trucks". Under cars you have dropdown links for "Focus" and "Sky" (so the width could be very short) but for trucks you have "Chevrolet 510 Extended Cab" and "Ford Yadda Yadda Yad" (so a long width). The widths of these dropdowns would have to be specified, meaning that 1.) it wouldn't be perfect padding unless you define the perfect width and 2.) unless you want to define a different width for each dropdown, the width would have to be the same for all and you might have a buttload more padding for one (like the first item) than another (the second item). So I'm wondering, if I force my users to CSS3 (which luckily I'm working on a project where I can), does it allow us to ditch this convention, and dynamically size the width of the dropdown based on content? Maybe through display:table-cell? I've looked around and even the fanciest CSS3 dropdowns still appear to have fixed widths: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css3-dropdown-menu 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; } I have stripped the whole page down to the bare bones and can not seem to get the center DIV to be the same height as the rest of the page. Is there a simple fix for this or would I need to redo it completely ? The left and right content is not always the same so their height is also variable. I have a min-height in the center DIV, and using height 100% does not seem to work either. Can anyone suggest what I could change to make it the same or suggest how I redo this so it is. Code:

How do you make a container div aware of the height of floated divs nested inside? I have 2 floated divs, which are contained within a container div. The container has a background image that I need to tile vertically. In FF the image does not tile unless I specifiy a height for the container other than auto. I don't want to set it to 100% because when I do, the container div extends much further than I intend it to. Here is the link to the site with the problem. CSS Code:
/* CSS DOCUMENT */
html, body {
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
font: 10px Verdana, Arial, Halvetica;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
background: url(../images/bdy_back.jpg) #252525 no-repeat center;
#container {
width: 938px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
height: auto;
opacity: .90;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
background: url(../images/middle2.jpg) repeat-y right #444444;
}
#lcol{
float: left;
width: 15%;
height: auto;
}
#right {
float: right;
width: 85%;
height: 100%;
}
}
HTML Code:
<div id="container">
<div class="hdr">
<div id="officer" style="display: none;"></div>
</div>
<div id="lcol">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
Hello, I've created a wrapper div for my main content and I center it on the page by setting margin left and right to auto. I add some content to it but the height of the wrapper never grows larger than the content. How can I make it so the background color of the wrapper, for example, goes to the bottom of the browser regardless of the amount of content inside of it? Thanks in advance. The situation is very simple: Code: <div id="maindiv" style="border:1px solid #000000; width:400px; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
<div id="reddiv" style="border:1px solid #FF0000; width:150px; float:left;">
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
</div>
<div id="greendiv" style="border:1px solid #00FF00; margin-left:170px; width:100px;">
green box<br>
green box<br>
green box<br>
green box<br>
</div>

AS you can see, I have a main div. Inside it, I have 2 divs: red and green. If I enter text into the green div, the main div resizes automatically. But if I enter text into the red div, the main div doesn't resize, and so the red div overflows. What I need is either enter text in the red or green divs and make the main div to auto resize. (I'm using Mozilla FireFox) Any Idea? I deleted the other posting as it take too long to work on it and it doesn't work. So, I got the other code from google search and decided to use it. There, I rearrange, redo, customzie the scripts to make it work better. Now I have one problem. See the class "wrapper" that make use of the height. I when I have it set at 100%, the footer extend too far down and the vertical scroll bar appear at the right. This is not what I want. I figure maybe it's because of the float that the browser doesn't know the real height of the header and footer. Can anyone help? I would really apppreciated it. Code:

Thanks, FletchSOD I tried to use height:auto, and put it into the main container, then I put it in the div that is floated. Nothing works in firefox for me. Ive tried searching on google but I cant find anything that works. Basically, its not just an issue with floats, in general, what is the correct way to set divs, to auto expand to cover what is inside and that works in IE, Firefox and safari, is there a way to ? Thanks in advanced. Ok, I've read over and over my CSS and everything seems perfect. In my HTML editor, the CSS is working, but when it gets the the internet, the content goes berserk. Here are the parts of the code that are not responding: CSS #content { width:610px; margin-left:0px; position:absolute; left:128px; top:156px; padding:25px; height: 838px; } HTML <div id="content"> (too long for post, please veiw source at website) </div> And the link to the website |
