CSS - Good Two Col, Header & Footer Layout
Hey gang,
Ok, this is embarrassing, but I'm currently working at redesigning my website (here), and would love to get rid of the craptacular tables-based layout. I've spent the last few days googling for a good two-column header and footer tutorial but I can't see any that works well and explains what is going on ( I'd rather know what's working than cut'n'paste someone's css scheme ). I'm not too worried about <IE5.5/etc compatibility as most of the data on the page is UTF-8 ( and IE5.0 - 5.5 makes up 1.49% of my visitors ). This is what I have so far - I just need to get rid of those two cells! Can anyone point me in the right direction (or laugh hard at my crappy google-skills ). Similar TutorialsHi all, I am trying to basically have a centre column of data on my page. Within this centre column, I am trying to place a header and footer. The CSS is working quite well with the exception that the header and footer seem to be shorter than the width of the main column. In other words, there seems to be a margin on the right and left side between the end of the footer/header and main column. I am not sure what is going on as I have made the widths the same. I am sure I am over-seeing something small. I was following the example found http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/1colcentred.htm Code:
html{height:100%;}
body {
padding:0;
margin:0;
height:100%;
background-color: #98AFC7;
color: #000000;
}
#outer{
min-height:100%;
width:800px;
background:pink;
color: #000000;
margin:auto;
text-align:left;
position:relative;
}
* html #outer{height:100%}
#header {
border-top:1px solid #000;
border-bottom:1px solid #000;
background:blue;
left:-1px;
width:800px;
height:40px;
overflow:hidden;
color: #000000;
z-index:100;
//margin-left:6px;
//margin-right:6px;
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
background:green;
height:40px;
border-top:1px solid #000;
width:800px;
//margin-left:1%;
//margin-right:1%;
}
#clearfooter{clear:both;height:40px;}/*needed to make room for footer*/
<body>
<div id="outer">
<div id="header">Header</div>
<p>middle</p>
<p>middle</p>
<div id="clearfooter"></div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I was looking for ways to make the layout work with header, body and footer that work in IE, Gecko, Safari, etc.. I thought I found a good solution via Google surfing and it looked great. Then I discovered that it doesn't have the "<!DOCTYPE ...>" tag, so I added it and now it is thrown out of wack in most browsers. Does anyone know of a valid css layout that would include the header, the body and the footer that work. Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<style type="text/css">
/* colored borders put on for visual effect only */
body{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#spacer{
height: 95%;
float: left;
width: 1px;
font-size: 1px; /* to make sure width is not overridden */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: red; /* visual effect only */
}
#contentwrap{
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#content{

I thought I can do this but it doesn't really work as the footer doesn't go all the way down to the bottom when needed... Code: <div id="header"> .... </div> <div id="main"> .... </div> <div id="footer"> .... </div> 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 I'm attempting to get a page that has a header, footer, left navigation bar with a fixed width, with a right "fluid" content section. I can get it to work by giving the main content a "margin-left" of the width of the navigation panel, and absolutely positioning the navigation. Problem is, with the navigation being absolutely positioned, it takes it out of the flow and doesn't push the container to fit its contents. I've trying playing with using floated divs, which is I'm sure the way I'll have to go, but I want the navigation bar to always be a fixed width of 175px, and I want the content section to stretch to fill the remaining space. I'd also like to make sure the content portion appears BEFORE the navigation panel in the order it appears on the HTML for SEO purposes. I'm sure it's easy using Javascript, but I'd like to do a pure CSS solution, if possible. How do I do that? Here is the link if you want to have a look: http://www.chcs-ut.com/support.php?section=technical 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'm not too sure how to go about getting the help i need. any opinions would be appreciated. thanks in advance I'm currently using .php to include a common header and footer. Is there a way to use CSS to include a common footer. Not the style, but the text themselves. Hey I am creating a website in php with a header and footer attached as in: <?php include("header.php"); ?> I have set the minimum height of the page to 600px however in IE it doesnt' work it displays half up the page In Firefox it is fine but in IE it doesn;t work any clues? cheers J Hello. I'm presently writing a JavaScript applet which will be included into websites to produce a dynamically created header and footer through PHP. That's not important for the most part. What I would like to do is create the header and footer through CSS. I do, howver, have a slight problem. I can not have the user edit their websites in any way except for adding the script inclusion. (<script language="javascript" src="http://webaddress/script.js">) Now, this is what I've come up with for the CSS. css Code: Original - css Code body { padding: 25px 0 25px 0; } .ixga_header { position: fixed; font-size: 11px; font-family: /*Arial, */Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #EAEAEA; top: 0; left: 0; } .ixga_header table,tr,td { font-size: 11px; font-family: /*Arial, */Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF; } .ixga_header a, a:visited { font-size: 11px; font-family: /*Arial, */Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #EAEAEA; } .ixga_header a:hover { font-size: 11px; font-family: /*Arial, */Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #EAEAEA; } /* hide from mac ie5 \*/ .ixga_header { position: absolute; } /* end hide from mac ie5 */ html>body .ixga_header { position: fixed; } .ixga_footer { position: fixed; font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #EAEAEA; bottom: 0; left: 0; } .ixga_footer table,tr,td { font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF; } .ixga_footer a, a:visited { font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #EAEAEA; }
body {

The problem I face is that any HTML on the original page somehow gets shoved UNDER the footer, no matter the case, as if it just shoves the data that SHOULD be there into the footer division itself. Can someone please suggest a better method I can take of doing this? Or perhaps point me to a resource where I can see how to dynamically add a header and footer to a webpage through CSS _WITHOUT_ having to include a division for the page contents itself? This needs to work out of the box. Thanks in advance. Hello! I'm here after much googling, and I am bashing my head against the wall, so any help is appreciated: Footer and header, fixed size, attached to top and bottom of screen. I want the center div to be a fluid height to sit between the header and footer, and if the content extends beyond that, I want it to scroll within the div, not the page. Here, I'm linking to a picture to explain more clearly: portlandworkshop-dot-com-slash-projects-slash-divs-dot-jpg (it won't let me direct link.. durrr) Nothing I do seems to fix this conundrum... Can ANYONE point me in the right direction? Hello to all those reading A really simple question for the knowledgeable, I suppose, however a question nevertheless. I've attached and image to try and save us all time and be as straightforward as I can. How would I accomplish the following with CSS? Problem: if I use absolute positioning on header and footer, I have difficulties centering them. Problem #2: how can I assign fixed values to header and footer and allow the body to stretch dynamically to accomodate different resolutions and\or content. In other words make the middle piece of the design mobile\fluid. jililu.com/portfolio2 I have upload the files that I currently have. I like to have the trapeziod header where the edges will align with the content. Right now I have the header with three sections, a left image, right image and a box in the center. It doesn't seems to be working. Eventually I would also like a drop shadow for the header. I have been trying this for days and it is not working. Can anybody please help. !!!! I have a Corporate Phone List extension sheet that is served on our Intranet. When users print this document from their browser IE defaults to 0.75 margins all around and has IE's default header and footer. Over 300 people will be printing this document. Is it possible to set the margins and get rid of the header/footer through either CSS or HTML? I have had some success in moving the margin of the tables through a stylesheet but I don't know how to set it for the whole page and I don't know how to get rid of the default header/footer. Code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" /> Code: td {font-size: 9pt;}

I am new to PSD to html slicing. i want some help on how this the following template would be sliced for footer and header. Will i need have one large back ground image or seperate for header n footer I have found many different ways of doing the 3 column fluid layout on the net... http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts But none of theme seem simple enough to implement 3 fluid columns where each column is a percentage. I have found a couple, but modifying the css to find my percentage needs loses the effect often times because the css code is long and complicated with many embeded divs. Isnt there an easy way to have a header at top, 3 columns (20%,60%,20% widths) each stretching the same height and a footer at the end? I thought that floating would work, but i get mixed and undesired output in IE and FF. Thanks to all that contribute. I'm having two issues with IE on my site. 1. IE is displaying the body background image (bg.jpg) throughout the entire page. 2. IE is pushing the sidebar way down. Neither of these issues exist in Firefox. I think the second issue may have something to do with the first issue. Here is the relevant code. Code: html,body * {
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
body {
background-image:url(images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color:#fb7d21;
margin:0 auto;
height:100%;
}
div#container {
width:792px;
margin:0 auto;
background-image:url(images/filler.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}

width:792px;
height:109px;
background-image:url(images/header.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
margin-top:20px;
}

float:left;

padding:0 0 0 10px;
margin-top:-40px;
}
div#sidebar {

There is an invoice preview webpage. I want to set header and footer information off while printing it. I know we can edit the page setup settings. But I wanted to know if we can do something without changing the default page setup settings. With default setting inside page setup, webpage title and webpage path are displayed for header and footer respectively. Thanks |
