CSS - Alternating Columns Help
Help please! I'm trying to apply css to my source to position div elements in alternating columns like this:
stuff1 stuff2 stuff3 stuff4 [etc.] My source looks like this: <div id="container"> <div class="item">stuff1</div> <div class="item">stuff2</div> <div class="item">stuff3</div> <div class="item">stuff4</div> [etc.] </div> I've been able to do this by applying styles like this: #container{ width:250px; } .item{ width:100px; height:100px; margin-right:10px; float:left; display:inline; } But there's a problem. Because all of the elements in #container are floated, the #container div has no height. So any content that's placed after #container in the source overlaps with the items (like the footer I need to add to the page). And unfortunately I cannot add a height to #container because the number of items within it are variable (and so the height is variable). I could apply alternating styles to the item divs and I can add <br/> tags and stuff within the code. I just cannot easily reorder the items in the source. I'd love some help with this. Good karma. Thanks, Bob Similar TutorialsHi, I am trying to alternate 2 images for posts at a forum(in phpbb2) and i've applied the classes but it doesn't seem to take effect Here's the CSS : Code: /*

Please help. I see that CSS3 will finally have support for this, but I thought I'd stumbled upon support in CSS1 or CSS2(.1) also. I even printed it out, though I can't find it now. Does anyone know how to alternate row colors in CSS2.1 without resorting to tr.row1 and tr.row2 or scripting? Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

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 Have a little problem with the 3-column layout. I'm converting it down to 2-column, which should be easier. However, in all exampels I've seen, there is no need to assign height, and all of the column divs always stay the same height. I can't seem to duplicate this. Here's what I have: PHP Code: <div id="leftCol"> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> </div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> and the relevant CSS: PHP Code: .clear{ /* clearing element for floats */ font-size: 0px; /* for weird IE */ height: 0px; width: 0px; clear: both; } div{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px black solid; } #leftCol{ width: 100px; border: 5px #000077 solid; border-top: 0px #000077 solid; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; } * html #leftcol{ /* Tan Box Hack */ width: 104px; width: 100px; } IE likes it (IE likes just about anything), but the "more content" text gets wrapped around the "leftCol" in Firefox. Any suggestions to what I'm missing? 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. 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!

I am trying to create a page with two side by side boxes, each coloured differently, and a third box, the full width of the page, directly underneath the other 2. The puzzling thing for me is that when I define the two side by side boxes as 50% each the left box will appear under the bottom box. If I define 1 of the boxes as 49.9% they appear side by side with a small strip between them. The other thing is that although I have defined margin and padding as 0 the boxes do not fill the width of the screen. Can anybody explain to me how to get the screen filled to 100% and the 2 columns to take 50% of the screen each. Here is the code: Code: .main_container{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
background-color:#FFF;
}
.left_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: left;
float: left;
background-color:#333;
}
.right_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: right;
float: right;
background-color:#666;
}
.footer{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 100px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: both;
position:relative;
background-color:#888;
}
Just wondering is it a good way to do columns in css using two spans set to float left and then right and having their widths set, then the content in divs or spans inside them? Hi, im kind of new to css and im trying to find the most effective way to organize content into 4 columns, I need the columns to be fixed of about 175px, is it possible to use list for this? Never Mind, I got it, I just discovered what "clear:" does Hi I am new to css and am trying to use the following code to make a page. i cant seem to position the content on the right of the left nav. i want it so that the content div resizes and stays in the same position when the browser is resized but the leftnav stays in the same position and doesnt re size....any help would be appreciated. third.css body { /*sets properties for the body of the document*/ background-color:#ffffff; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; } #container { margin-top: 50px; margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; padding: 0px; background-color: orange; width: 80%; min-width: 181px; } #footer { padding: 0px; position: relative; padding: 0px; background-color: yellow; width: 100%; } #content { left:200px; width:100%; background-color: red; } #leftnav { /*sets properties for the left nav bar*/ background-color : #66ccff; width: 180px; } third.html <div id="container"> container <div id="leftnav">left nav</div> <div id="content">content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content </div> <div id="footer">footer</div> </div> 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. :-) Hi, I am trying to setup 2 columns in XHTML, and am wondering how I would get the right column to automatically begin after the left column. PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="leftcolumn"> <div id="leftcolumntop"> aaaa </div> <div id="leftcolumnbottom"> bbb </div> </div> <div id="rightcolumn"> <div id="rightcolumntop"> ccc </div> <div id="rightcolumnbottom"> ddd </div> </div> </div> So basically what I'm looking to do is position "rightcolumn" so it begins right after "leftcolumn". I'm not sure how to tho. Right now I'm using absolute positioning, but I'd rather have it all line up automatically rather then having to play with #'s to get it to line up every time. Hello, I am looking for a CSS two fixed width columns centered layout with header and footer. Could someone recommend me a good one? Thank You, Miguel Hi, there. I've created a simple tableless 3-column fixed-width layout within a 'wrapper' div#. The column displays exactly how I want it and where I want it in Firefox, Safari, Chrome... but not in IE7 - for some reason, IE7 repeats part of the content of the third column. courses.algarve-golf.co.uk/index.html courses.algarve-golf.co.uk/scripts/default.css (The site isn't yet finished, so while the CSS validates, the HTML is not completely validated as I have more content, nav-bars and so on to add.) I've double and triple-checked everything I know of, but as my CSS experience is somewhat limited, I'm hopeful that this is just the result of a known IE7 that i'm not yet aware of. Any help or advice that anyone can offer greatfully appreciated! Hi So I am setting up a portfolio website and I have been focusing mainly on the highslide portion which I got working great (with this forums help, thank you!). Now I have gotten rid of all the tables and garbage like that and am trying to make the images the backgrounds so they will be locked but now the image links spill out of the column and don't line up anymore. this is what it SHOULD look like: http://kdpatton.com/index01.htm but this is what does look like: http://kdpatton.com/portfolio02.htm I can't figure out why. Any help would be great. Love this forum! Hi all, I have the following: Code:
