CSS - Div Tags To Replace A 2 Column Table In A Div Tag
I'm creating a site with a few div layers. Like so:
Code: <div id="mainDiv"> <div id="topLinks"><a href="##" class="linkStyle">Calendar</a> | <a href="##" class="linkStyle">Site Map</a> | <a href="##" class="linkStyle">Home</a></div> <div id="siteContent"> <div id="mainContent"> <div id="header"> <a href="##"><img src="img/logo.gif" width="131" height="30" border="0" alt="Logo" title="Logo" style="padding: 10px 0px 12px 19px;" /></a> <div id="orangeNav">Top Navigation</div> </div> <div id="content"> ****** Need left navigation and right content here**** </div> </div> <div id="bottomNav">Bottom Navigation Here</div> <div id="footer">Footer Info here</div> </div> </div> The problem is with the bold green part. I'm trying to create a left-side navigation with content to the left. If I create a table, I'm done and it works. Of course, I'm trying not to use a table to set up the design. The the other div tags are all position: relative. If I add two div tags that are position: absolute and place them, the text put in the absolute tags are not affecting the rest of the page and the footer either covers or gets covered by the absolute tags. However, I can't get it to work with relative div tags. I'm a beginner so I'm struggling. I know I've done it before, but it's just not working this time. In case you need it, here's the style sheet: Code: body {
background-color: #1D1F12;
margin: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
/* The whole container for the page */

Edited to add: I have included the div tags for the left and right portions: #leftSide and #rightSide Similar TutorialsHi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Hi, http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/search.asp has a two column effect. The CSS for it is he http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/css/screen.css I was wondering why if there is a table in the right hand column with a width percentage over 77% there is some horizontal scrolling? This happens in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Janusz Jasinski Dear friends, I have the following table, which I need to be replaced with CSS. How can I do it? Here is the code: Code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinUpLeft.png) top right no-repeat; width:51px; height:51px"><div id="closeBut" style="width: 30px; height: 30px; position:absolute; margin-left: 302px; margin-top: 10px"><img src="engine/images/closeBoxBut.png" /></div></td>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinUp.png) top left repeat-x;"></td>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinUpRight.png) top left no-repeat; width:51px; height:51px"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinLeft.png) top right repeat-y;"></td>
<td style="background-color:#FFFFFF" height="400"> </td>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinRight.png) top left repeat-y"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinDownLeft.png) bottom right no-repeat; width:51px; height:51px"></td>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinDown.png) bottom left repeat-x;"></td>
<td style="background: url(engine/images/onLayerWinDownRight.png) bottom left no-repeat; width:51px; height:51px"></td>
</tr>
</table>
I'd like to do something like this: Quote: <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#666666" width="100%"> <tr> <td>Test</td> </tr> </table> But I don't want to use an inline style tag. I tried this: Quote: <html> <head> <style> .border { border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="border" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td>Test</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> But it does not work. What am I doing wrong? is there a problem with placing div tags inside table cells. I have a need to do this and it works fine on my FF3 and IE7 but i am told this is bad practice. is there a problem and/or workaround to using div tags inside a table cell Something like this gives real thick and uneven borders, is it possible to make the borders combine and become one single border when they are next to each other? I don't want to use seperate border-top border-left etc ... Thank you. Code:

I want to lock columns as shown at http://web.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/...column-csv.html Unfortunately that only works in IE. I've had a crack at doing it with firefox and it's give me grief. Any ideas? Hi, I am very new to CSS and very confused. I wrote my site about 10 years ago using tables and have been working very hard the last few weeks updating the code to CSS and XHTML. I have a navigation page that was made as a table using an image to replace the bullet and act as the link. I am having a terrible time rewriting the blasted thing without using a table. The columns will not line up (I suppose I do not understand how to use the negative margin properly) and when I try to use the clear: left; code so my bullet image lays properly it will only clear the bottom of the previous column so there is a giant gap in between the links. I have no idea what I am doing. Here is a link to what the page looks like using the old code. This page will NOT validate, the code is old and depreciated but if you have a peek you can se what I am trying to achieve. www.medeaslair.net/myths.html. Here is what I wrote but I am afraid it is very long. I apologize in advance for how bad it is. CSS Code:

I have a star rating graphic that I got off the web that uses an HTML list, turned horizontally, to get the stars to light up when you hover over them. It took me ages to get it working, to customize it to my website's colors, and now it all works great. The only problem is I need it to appear centered in a table column, and no matter what I do with the css code I can't make it happen. I know I should probably be using divs and all, but I tried that, and ultimately decided tables is easier for this purpose. Anyway, if someone can forgive my sloppy, amateur ways and tell me how I can get this f-ing thing to center in my table column I would much appreciate it. Here's the css code: Code: /* star rating */
.star * {
float: right;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
list-style:none;
}
ul.rating{
background:url(images/star8.jpg) bottom;
height:21px;
width:115px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
ul.rating li{
display:inline
}
.rating a {
display:block;
width:23px;
height:21px;
float:right;
text-indent:-9999px;
position:relative;
}
.rating a:hover {
background:url(images/star8.jpg) center;
width:115px;
margin-left:-92px;
position:static;
}
.rating a:active {
background-position:top;
}
and here's the HTML code (in php format): Oops - won't let me send code because it contains URLs. Either way, it's a straight up table with three columns. Cheers. Julian OK...thbbt. Situation 1 (the one that works as I want) Code: <table style="width: 100%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 15em">Column 1</td>
<td>Column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
In Situation 1, the second column expands to be all of the remaining width. This is good. Situation 2 Code: <table style="width: 100%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 15em">Column 1</td>
<td>Column 2</td>
<td>Column 3</td>
</tr>
</table>
In Situation 2, column 2 and 3 share the remaining space. I want column 2 to take no more than exactly the space it needs. I want column 3 to expand to take all the remaining space. The only way I've found that (sorta) works is to actually use the old HTML width="" attribute and make it a percentage that's impossible. If you make it 95% or something, then all the other columns squeeze down pretty far. The issue with this approach is that it ignores the style width of the first column and just crushes it as much as possible. Anyone have an idea? Thanks Tim Hi, I'm building a table -like structure with divs and spans. When the columns have long text, the text overflows a bit funnily, so that the text in right column continues from left column. I have example at: http://www.viewinteractive.fi/tests/div.htm The page was validated before I put the code there within the textarea. The important part is he Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.r1 {
background-color: #ccc;
width: 400px;
}
div.r2 {
background-color: #eee;
width: 400px;
}
span.s1 {
color: #700;
width: 150px;
border-right: 2px solid black;
float: left;
}
span.s2 {
color: #070;
}
div.sep {clear: both; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="r1">
<span class="s1"> Sometimes this stuff get's quite long. </span>
<span class="s2"> And it is not a problem, if both columns are long.</span>
</div>
<div class="sep"></div>
<div class="r2">
<span class="s1"> Now if... </span>
<span class="s2"> ... only right column is long, the page looks a bit funky. </span>
</div>
<div class="sep"></div>
<div class="r1">
<span class="s1"> If left is long, it looks ok in IE, but not Firefox. </span>
<span class="s2"> And right is short.</span>
</div>
</body></html>
I'd rather do this with tables, but that is not an option atm. Any helps? t.j right guys...this one is a bit backwards. I have a table as follows: Code: <table height=100% wieght=100 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td width=50%></td> <td width=760px></td> <td width=50%></td> </tr> </table> For obvious validation reasons, i need to convert this to CSS but keep the 100% height. Example of it: http://www.ridobusinesscentre.org.uk All help is welcomed. Hi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts. I hope someone here can advise. This is an abridged version of the site's code for example: Code: <style type="text/css">

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob Question title: A 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally and let them both scroll vertically Hello I did try several idea's, but all failed. Then I did search the web but found a list of > 400.000 in google. If someone is willing to tell me if it is possible and give me some directions, please do. Everything is welcome. I got a list with 3 columns ( basically you could say I have only two columns because 2-3 could be concatenated to together, but they have a different style and justification, but I could live to start with a two column sample) f.e line 1 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 2 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 99:.... e.t.c Column one has a fixed width of 32px. 'some text' can be longer then the wide available and value_two is with 3 spaces appended to column 2. I want that column one is fixed horizontal and that the second and the third column can scroll horizontally. Of course when there are more line's then the height of the container is should be posable to scroll vertically. Finally I need the color behind column one be different then the column 2 and 3. So what I did create is a container with two containers where the left one has a different colour then the right one and above those a container with the list. I have overflow on auto, so I get scroll-bars when necessarily. But my problem is that when I scroll horizontally that my first column scrolls away to the left. Basically my question is. How can I get a 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally ( first is locked in horizontal place ) and let them scroll both vertically? Hey, So I have a three column layout being implemented as such: html: Code:
<div class="content">
<div class="col1 column"></div>
<div class="col3 column"></div>
<div class="col2 column">
<div class="header">Header</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS: Code:
.column {
padding: 10px;
position:relative;
}
.header {
background:#cfe6f5;
color:#416383;
font-size:11px;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:300;
padding-left:15px;
}
.col1 {
float: left;
width:250px;
}
.col2 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.col3 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}
The problem is that the width of the header div extends all the way to the left and right of the page when it's in the middle column, but behaves the way I want it to (extends to the left and right of the column) when it's in the left or right column. Any ideas? Thanks. --Surgery Hi, hopefully you enjoyed the title, I had a good laugh thinking of it in that split second it took me to write it. So, I found a 3 column css layout on a CSS generator website, because I got sick of trying to hack up layouts I've made in the past that didn't work. Anyhow, it was working fine with one line of content in each column when I tested it out, however, once content in the middle column was added, and stretched vertically beyond a certain point, it will drag the left columns content down with it. The right column is not affected in any way. I have spent a few hours trying to look for reasons as to why it would happen, but I had no luck. I would appreciate any help... so thank you in advance if you take a stab at it. Here's the html: Code: <body> <div id="pagewidth"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="wrapper" class="clearfix" > <div id="twocols" class="clearfix"> <div id="maincol">Main Text, woot.

Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } Hello, I am having difficulty with the center column on the following page: http://cbo4edu.org/index2.html I want to widen the center column so that the CBO NEWS heading touches the blue line which divides the center and right column. When I try to add width to the style sheet the left column moves out of alignment. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy I am a HTML&CSS novice - I am trying to write a page using a three column layout but the column colour doesn't reach the footer. I understand that this is a common problem and I've looked at a lot of examples on the web of how to work around this or create a better layout but I'm still not sure enough to know which would be the easiest and best to go within the page I have written. I want to avoid images but other than that any help would be great! I have validated the HTML & CSS and they are copied below (could any advice be really specific, as I said this is very new to me!).
