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.

Thanks a lot! Rob 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. (aka hi hi hi)</div> <div id="rightcol">Sidebar, yippee.</div> </div> <div id="leftcol"> <div id="navigation">test</div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> and the CSS: Code: html, body { background: #333399; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: black; } #pagewidth { width: 750px; text-align:left; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background: #333399 url('images/bodycontent.gif') repeat-y center top; } #header { position:relative; height:138px; background: url('images/header.gif') center; width: 100%; } #leftcol { width: 118px; float: left; left: 25px; position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin:0; padding:0; } #twocols { width: 700px; float: right; position: relative; } #rightcol { width:180px; right: 25px; float:right; position:relative; background-color: transparent; } #maincol { background-color: transparent; float: left; left: 100px; display: inline; position: relative; width: 390px; } #footer { text-align: center; height:39px; background: url('images/footer.gif'); clear:both; } .clearfix:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .clearfix{display: inline-table;} /* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .clearfix{height: 1%;} .clearfix{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ /*printer styles*/ @media print{ /*hide the left column when printing*/ #leftcol{display:none;} /*hide the right column when printing*/ #rightcol{display:none;} #twocols, #maincol{width:100%; float:none;} } Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. Hi there, I have a left coloumn that is used for my navigation. However, I want it to go all the way down the page so it is the same height as my content div. I have tried the following, but it is not working. PHP Code: float: left; width: 200px; background-color: #070c12; padding: 15px; height: 100%; Any ideas? Thanks 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: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Three Columns</title> <style type="text/css"> *, html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 100%; } html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; } #maincontainer { position: relative; height: 100%; background: #eee; } #left { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 200px; background: #fbb; height: 100%; } #mid { position: relative; margin: 0 200px 0 200px; background: #efe; height: 100%; } #right { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 200px; background: #bbf; height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="maincontainer"> <div id="left"> left start<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left end<br /> </div> <div id="mid"> mid start<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid end<br /> </div> <div id="right"> right start<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right end<br /> </div> </div> </body> </html> 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 http://zeroonedesign.com/beyond%2Dmap/www/ Take a look at it first in Firefox, and then in IE. As you can see IE seems unable to understand what display:inline means, or perhaps its interpreting the pixel values I set differently. I have tried a whole pile of different things. I've tried taking out the containing <div style="relative> and it makes no difference. I've tried setting everything static with no sizes but then it all collapses. I am THIS close to moving to a table based layout... sometimes CSS is just so frustrating. Can anyone spot something I'm just missing? Many thanks A website generally has a header/footerand then a left column and main column. The left column contains links and the main column contains the content. Years ago I saw a design that was validated and used CSS to achieve a tableless design that actually had the main column content BEFORE the left column links in the sourcecode, but on the site itself, it was like a normal site (left column was on the left and main content was on the right or center). Does this achieve better search engine results by having the main content first in the eyes of the search engines, but in reality, to the people, the left links actually shows up first. Also, can someone provide a link to this or show some coding on what you have seen done to achieve this? Ok, so I'm really new to this, but I've spent several hours over the last few days tinkering with things but nothing I'm doing works: In my two column CSS layout my left navigational column is stuck hanging out underneath the center column. It looks like this both in IE and Firefox. I've searched around on here and haven't found anything, but maybe I'm not using the right keywords. Any help or suggestions for this newbie greatly appreciated!

I want all the columns at the same height. But when the middle content is long the left column remains short. And also I have a problem with that menu or something. Just go over the menus without clicking and you'll see the scrollbar is going crazy and the lower part of the page acts crazy when mouse is over links. And the page is a little bit heavy acting for that reason,, but that problem is okay in firefox although not in ie. Please help me... thanx from now for your replies I have the following: Quote: <div class="video"> <h1>Header</h1> <p><a href="#" title="title"><img src="images/01.jpg" alt="alt" width="150" height="150" class="img-left border"/></a></p> <div class="redBG border" style="margin-left:180px;"> <p><strong>Content</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="video"> <h1>Header</h1> <p><a href="#" title="title"><img src="images/01.jpg" alt="alt" width="150" height="150" class="img-left border"/></a></p> <div class="redBG border" style="margin-left:180px;"> <p><strong>Content</strong></p> </div> </div> Not the nicest of code but it'll do for now. I want each div with class=video to come under one another but at the moment, the 2nd div starts just after the text in the first div and not actually under it. This is in the middle column of a 3 column CSS layout. The bottom is what the .video class has. Quote: .video { margin-bottom:10px; } Any help? Hello, My first CSS site was going fine; I was learning as I went and drawing from different resources. My code and CSS probably isn't very pretty ( I validated it, I know it needs to be cleaned up) but things were working. Then I went back and made some adjustments concerning the widths of my column divs. Now I find that Firefox is respecting the rightcolumn div (specifically: <div id="contentright">)but IE keeps kicking it to the bottom left. I've tried messing with the column lengths so everything fits accordingly as specified in the frame div width. Can anyone please take a look and offer a suggestion? thanks. http://www.brinjac.com/test/binnspark.html I cannot figure out what's going on with my site. The white background box does not have the height of 100%. I was working but I changed something to get the columns to line up right for IE. Can anyone help.... beachweeklive.org Everyone complains about trying to get percentage column widths and fluid lengths in CSS but I've got problems with percentage height. My CSS and HTML are below. What I want to do is make sure the footer is always at the bottom of my page (with no scroll bars) and adjust the boxes in the right column to fill the height between the header and the footer using percentages. The main reason for this is I don't want a gap at the bottom of my rightside boxes and ths page will be viewed on unusual ratio screens with varying height. I may also possible need to use borders between my boxes and the content so could you also tell me if this is a problem.

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 Please look at this layout as provided by my graphic designer: http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/default.jpg Now look at my attempt to achieve the same http://hometown.tmhdesign.com I am a bit challenged at the right column and how to lay it out. She put a fixed height gradient background in the right div and then placed yet another div on top of that one. THe issue as you can see is if the content on the left exceeds the content on the right the design breaks up (so to speak). I'm really curious to get some feedback from the experts... 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? I have three elements in the body of my page that I need to stretch between the top menu and the footer. This page looks perfect without borders on the elements, but with borders seperating the left, center, and right columns, you can tell the length of each column. It is quite annoying. This is what I mean: Borders As Seperators I need to have some sort of seperator (I'm open minded) to extended the whole height of the content container. Any Help or References? Hi guys, I am struggling a bit with getting the background of one of my css-created columns to be the height I want it to be. If you have a look at http://www.addictivemedia.com.au/clients/REW/ you will see (depending on your browser) that the left column behaves not the way I want it to: - in IE 6 it creates an additional scrollbar (because it adds the height of the banner at the top to the 100% height I gave to the column) - in all other browsers it is not as long as the column on the right The effect I want to achieve is of course for both columns to have the same height and (if possible) to always push the footer to the bottom of the browser window. I have tried the pushing to the bottom many times and out of previous posts I gather that it probably won't happen for all browsers. But I cannot figure out why the left column doesn't extend as far as the right one. Thanks for your help! |
