CSS - Css Layout Div Height Help Required
Please take a look at the following page. its a simple two column layout
http://www.aptlogix.com/testcss.html I need to have both divs side by side of same height independent of the contents in them. how can i stretch the right yellow backgroudn to the full length of the page ?. the yellow color is displayed till the height of the page when i scroll the page the rest of the bottom is white. i have tried that min-height thing with it but no luck. Please advice Regards, DQ Similar TutorialsHi, I have a site (URL address blocked: See forum rules) which I need the bottom footer bar to always be at the base of the screen (on larger resolutions). So when you start minising the browser window and adjusting it up and down it seems to have this grey space under the footer but the footer is meant to be flush to the bottom. Works on every other page bar the homepage and the problem only happens in IE7. Any ideas? Hello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later Code:

In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance I have spent the last two hours trying to fix this problem and it's driving me crazy. I've searched all over google and found all kinds of other height problems but none that are mine. Please help, before I go crazy. The problem: I have a 3 column layout that is set to 100% height with background images for each of the columns that stretches to fill the browser window vertically. It does this beautifully so long as the content that actually fills the columns is smaller than the height of the browser window. The moment you make the browser window smaller than the content in any of the columns and scroll down, the background only stretches in the column with the content. The other two are left shorter and the background stops at literally the height of the browser window only. I'm sure this is most likely a common problem and there's something I just am missing. I'm primarily a designer and I'm still learning CSS so please excuse the fact that my grasp of CSS is still very limited. I don't have the site up yet because I'm still building the code, so I can't provide a link but this is what my code looks like: The HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked)"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>TC</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <ul id="menu"> <li><img src="img/menu_top.png" /></li> <li><a class="menuhome" href="index.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menushowcase" href="showcase.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menuaboutus" href="aboutus.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menuservices" href="services.html"></a></li> <li><a class="menucontactus" href="contactus.html"></a></li> <li><img src="img/menu_bottom.png" /></li> </ul> <div id="main"> <img src="img/top.png" /><br /><br /> </div> <div id="right_strip"></div> </div> </body> </html> The CSS: Code: body {

This seems like it should be very easy to do but something is preventing it from working. I was following the guide at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins but with my navigation column on the left. A summary of my layout right now is: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> <div id="navigation" <div id="navlist"> </div> </div> <div id="clearing"> </div> </div> my css: #container { float: right; margin-left: -16.8em; width: 100%; background-color: #2586d7; } #navigation { float: left; width: 14em; background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #wrapper { background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #navlist is a div containing a styled ul for navigation. #clearing { clear: both; height: 0; } So basically the navigation div is supposed to extend to the bottom as far as the container div goes. According to the guide at AListApart it should be working but is something else in my code interfereing? If everything above should work fine, I can post a link to the test file so you can see the rest of the code. Thanks for any help! I am looking for some examples on making this layout: ----------HEADER---------- nav content - - - - - - - - - - - - ----------FOOTER0--------- The page needs to be 100% the height of the browser window with header at top, footer at bottom and the content/nav being a minimum height of enough to fill the screen vertically and should be expandable. Anyone got any pointers? Fixed. Having coded using tables for the past 5 years, I'm coding my first site using pure CSS (hold back the laughter) ... I'm new to change. In any case ... I'm attempting to setup a homepage that has a fixed width and height. So far I've got a one-column header working fine. Beneath the one-column header I wish to have three columns with--dare I say it Web 2.0ish rounded corner cells--However the caveat is that these three cells need to all be a fixed height to go along with the page design. After two days of research, coffee, banging my head against my desk, I haven't been able to figure this one out. I am using an image at the top of each cell and an image at the bottom of each cell, but cannot get the cells to maintain a specific height. Any help would be appreciated: CSS: Code: /*<agl.folder "general">*/

I can get by with css, but an not a designer so can't figure out the exact specifics on how to do this. I've looked at many sites, make examples, javascripts included, but either they are to hard to fit into what I am looking for or just cause me to hit my head against the wall. I'm trying to get the left columns background to fill height 100% to the footer. The content's doesn't need it because the wrapper's background act's as its color. Also, if either column's height changes past the screen's height. I need the footer to move down too. Currently, I tested if the left-column and the main content goes past the screen's height it will just go past the footer. This works beacuse the css I have currently is making sure that the footer is always at the bottom. Code: <html >

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance. Risso 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 Hello, im trying to make Fixed width 3 columns (each column have fixed width) layout 100% height with header and footer. -Well I see alot of examples around the web, but i dont see complete one and im really tired of searching, i made the Fixed width 3 comlumns layout, left and right are absolute position, and center is relative to the header -the problem is that all columns dont fill the whole height of the browser windows, the footer doesnot work good. so the whole thing is missed up, so please show 100% working example of what i need. Thanks in Advanced Samer Hi, I have a multi-column layout where I want every column to always be the same height. Any one of the columns may be the longest on any given page, so the other columns have to automatically adjust to match that height. Usually I'd just use the faux column technique where you repeat a background image, but that won't work because of two elements on this page: 1. each column has a border all the way around it. 2. one column resizes with the page. I've read the articles on liquid layouts with faux columns, but as far as I can tell those techniques won't work if your columns have borders. Does anyone know any technique that would work here? Thanks. Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... 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).

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1
{
width: 575px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> Hello everybody! I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine.

If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. |
