CSS - 2<div> Columns, Then Another <div> Spanning Width Of Both Below
hi,
I have 2columns with varying heights. and then I have a div below which spans the width of both. If the right column is taller than the left there is no problem. The underneath div falls under it by 5px. But when the left columns is taller than the right. The column underneath still falls 5px below the right column, but the div below is underneath the left column. anyone know how to get the div below to go 5px below whichever div is tallest? heres the css: PHP Code: #leftColumn { float: left; margin: 10px;; width: 300px; padding: 0; } #register { margin: 20px 0 10px 330px; border: 1px solid #ccc; width: 396px; background: #fff; } #prodBreak { margin: 0 10px; padding: 0; border-top: dashed #666 1px; border-right: solid #ccc 1px; border-bottom: none; border-left: solid #ccc 1px; background: #fff url(../images/break.gif) repeat-x; width: 720px; height: 50px; } ta, if you dont understand the explanation please let me know and ill draw a picture Similar TutorialsI'm trying to set a background image that spans from edge to edge in my browser window. Currently, I have everything set up and positioned as I'd like, but the image stops just short of reaching the very edges of the browser window on the left and right sides. The image itself is 2000px wide, so that various browser widths show the continuation of the image. You can see the problem I have at URL Notice the blue lines on either side aren't quite making it to the edge of the browser. The relevant CSS is located at URL The .main div at the bottom is the one with the background image code. Thank you for any help offered. Hi 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 Is it possible to to set up two divisions that display next to each other and take up the entire width of page? Neither of the divisions would be static. In my example, the one division would contain an image of variable size and the second division would take up the remainder of the width of the page with text. Is this possible with CSS? I can make this work with tables, but haven't been able to manage it with CSS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Anne. Hi all, I have a mysql database with a list of milkshake flavors. I want to pull those out and display them into 4 columns. No problem there. The hangup is that the width of these columns isn't going to be the same (because the list of milkshake flavors is going to be updated regularly and the display of them is dynamic as well). So, I can have it kick out 4 columns no problem and the width of these columns is based on the longest name in that column (which is what I want, so everything is OK there). The problem is that I want these 4 columns to be grouped together and centered on the page. I got it working in Firefox by making a container div and giving it a {display: table} value... works perfectly. However, that's not the case in IE. In IE, the container div is the width of the entire page and the columns are all left-aligned. Here's the page in question and my code is below. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:

Hi i want to have a site with 3 columns a header and a footer where the height of the content and both the columns spreads to fill the page even if there is only a few lines of content. Also i wanted to have a margin round the page so that the page doesnt fill the screen horizontal. i cant seem to get it to work correctly does anyone have an example i can look at? cheers Andy 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 I've run into a problem with a 3-column layout I'm making. The problem is to get the columns equally high. Previously I've just made the "illusion" of equally high columns by making a background image and repeating it in the y-direction (like this). This works fine as long as the page has a fixed with - in this case the left and right column have a fixed width but the center column is dynamic. So, how can I make all the columns look equally high? (without using tables, obviously) Btw, I can't show you an example of the page, but hopefully you'll get the picture and could point me to an article or something about the subject. EDIT: Never mind! I found an example and it worked! http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/ <-- thats the one. 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 all, I'm trying to achieve the following: <div id="left">This column is of blue background, and stretches all the way to the left.</div> <div id="center"> THIS COLUMN IS FIXED WIDTH, 760px </div> <div id="right">This column is of red background, and stretches all the way to the right.</div> Hope that is self explanatory.. I've Googled all this but can only find solutions for fluid "center" columns with fixed width right/left columns. I'm trying to do the opposite. Could anyone let me know how I can do this? I've got some messy CSS that definitely needs to be corrected, I'm trying out different things so here's my 'trial& error' code: Code:
#left {
background-color: blue;
float: left;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
}
#center {
background: #DFDFEB url(../images/body/top.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#right {
background-color: red;
}
Thanks in advance! Hello all, Perhaps it is just because I've been working all day but I cannot remember how to do this. My site is http://www.geocities.com/lokisapocalypse/debug/index.html . I almost have it set up the way I want it but how do I get the three columns to all be the same height? How's it going, If you look at this link below, you'll see how one of the images below is larger than the content area and thus goes over into the sidebar...which looks really wack. http://www.sustainablelivingrealest...-home-for-sale/ Is there a way to confine all images so they don't spew over, without actually resizing each image in Photoshop? Thanks in advance. Hey guys, I was wondering if you could enlighten me on the right way to do this. URL On this CSS blog I'm designing for a friend, I'm trying to get the leafy sidebar to span the height of the content. My CSS for the property is: #sidebar { float: left; background: #589f45 url(images/sidebar.gif) repeat-y; height: 100%; width: 44px; } I have a feeling that the height: 100% property is causing the problem. When you look at the site, the sidebar repeats exactly one page-length and stops. The HTML markup for the page: <div id="sidebar"></div> <div id="header"></div> <div id="topbar"></div> <div id="blog"> Test<br />... </div> <div id="footer"></div> All of the other IDs are floated left. Do you guys have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg 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.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? 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 Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html |
