CSS - Fixed Height Multi-column
I saw an idea that I liked a whole lot for displaying pictures and that kind of thing. I didn't want to really hank the guys code, but tried to make my own version of it. The problem I have is yet again with Internet Explorer doing really stupid things with the pics I drop in my div's. It keeps adding a padding to it and it's beginning to aggravate me.
Here is the code I had: body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #4F6A84; text-align: center; } #super_container { position: absolute; top: 70px; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 438px; background: #424242; padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; } #super_container { height: 438px; } #sub_container { width:775px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; width: 765px; /*border-right: 1px solid #7D1E2C; border-left: 1px solid #7D1E2C;*/ height: 438px; background: transparent; margin: 0 auto; } #sub_container { width: 765px;} #right{ float: right; width: 150px; height: 438px; background: #c5c5c5; } #left { float: left; width: 400px; height: 438px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: blue; overflow:visisble; background-image:url(new_test/test1.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; } #left img { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 5px solid #fff;} #center { margin-left: 401px; margin-right:151px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; border-top:1px solid green; } and the html <body> <div id="super_container"><!--start of super container--> <div id="sub_container"><!--start sub_container--> <div id="right"> </div> <div id="left"> </div> <div id="center"> test </div> </div><!--end sub_container--> </div><!---end of super conatiner--> </body> the problem becomes evident when I put an image in the htnl of the left element. It either looks likeit rises just above the top of the super-container, or it is flush with the top and leaves a margin underneath it. As always, any help or design/tips as to what I am doing wrong would be great. I am just experimenting with new things, trying to see what I can or cannot do. The idea would be to have a home page with picture and right column with info. Then on the sub-pages have nav and subnav on the middle and right columns and pics on the left. Just a dry run, trying to see where i am. Thanks for the help in advance! jon Similar TutorialsHaving 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">*/

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. I need a combination of this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fixed.php and this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fluid.php I need the middle column to be a fixed width and the outer two to be fluid. I also need to maintain the 100% with header and footer at top and bottom respectively. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks. hello. I am currently using a simple horizontal top menu with a vertical drop down. I would like to change the vertical drop down to be horizontal, multi column, and should accomodate more than one line, if possible. The example I'm going for is used as top navigation he nfl - baltimore ravens home page and he ge home page Here is the code I'm using currently (would like it to be all CSS). #### ul#mainNavigation { padding-left:185px; } ul#mainNavigation li { padding:0 16px; float: left; display:inline; position: relative; list-style: none; color:White; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.Seperator { padding:0px; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over { background-color:white; } ul#mainNavigation li.over a { color:Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { color:White; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; display:block; } ul#mainNavigation a:hover { color: Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { display: block; } ul#mainNavigation li p { height:19px; } ul#mainNavigation li ul { display: none; position: absolute; background-color:Black; opacity:.8; filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8; margin-left:-16px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul { display: block; z-index:999; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li { float: none; background:none; border:none; white-space:nowrap; padding:0px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a { color: white; padding:5px; border-bottom:solid 1px black; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a:hover { background: #3d1f6e; color: white; } ~~~~~~~ HTML ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <ul id="mainNavigation"> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink1.html">Mainlink1</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink2.html">Mainlink2</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> #### Thank you, in advance! ~ lahddah 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 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 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; } Hi I have sucessfully created a 4 column 2 row layout which works fine in IE, FireFox & Opera. The problem i have is that search1 needs to span the width of search and vote as opposed to just the width of search. (I have included the html allowing you to see what i mean).

Pretty basic. In the content area there are more divisions to handle different sections of data. The problem is that in some of the content sections, I need to have dynamically allocated "blocks" of data that form psuedo "columns". I do this by doing a float:left on each of the content blocks. (generally a 250px width) That way if I show 1 or 5, they all snug up next to each other and wrap properly in the browser. Still pretty basic. Until ... drum roll please ... the next section. Since the content is "float:left", it's removed from the layout and the following sections will just "snug up" next to the last content block. I want the section to "clear" the previous content division, but don't really have a clean way to declare the "height" of that division, due to the dynamic nature of the data. Silly Rabbit ... just do a clear:left !! In IE it works fine. In Firefox, the clear:left command is clearing the previous container! (side-container ... aka: left nav bar) First question: Which browser is right? is IE right and the clear:left should be contained to it's own division? or is firefox right and the clear:left checks all float:left regardless of division? Second question: If IE is right, what is the fix ... if Firefox is right, how should I actually structure this? Hello, I created a 3 column layout with header and footer: http://www.27lamps.com/public/layout.htm The problems I have a 1. I am not able to extend my 3 columns so they have the same height. How can I do this? Do I need to use images somehow? I would prefer to use CSS only if possible. 2. I am not able to use padding in my columns without breaking the design. Could someone, please, help me fixing this problem and also improve my code? Thanks, Miguel Hello all, I am implementing a 2 column fixed width template. The problem is that the smaller column does not stretch to match the height of the taller column. All of the online templates I have found remedy this problem by setting a 1 px high background image to span the width of the container div. My problem is that I would like to place an image at the top and bottom of the smaller column. How can I achieve this? Currently I have 2 fixed columns and a fluid center column. When I resize the window horizontally I want the columns to stay fixed until the center column will begin to overlap the side columns, at which point I'd like the side columns to begin fluidly squashing to accommodate. Is it possible to do this? Only thing I know of is max-width, but I'm not sure if that's correct as I've never used it before. Any help would be VERY appreciated guys, as I need to know this quite soon. -Luke Please look at http://www.mailhorde.com/scripts.php and http://www.mailhorde.com/ You will see what i mean. THe navigation bar is being stretched down. I have the top image in a table cell of its own. Is there any CSS that will stop this from happening? Thanks, Andrew So, here is the basic gist of what I'm attempting to achieve... Two main fixed-width columns: the one on the left containing my latest blog entry and the one on the right containing a menu of thumbnails. I want the menu column on the right to stop at the height of the left column and use a vertical scroll bar when the thumbnail content is too large to fit. I don't want to use a fixed height for the div containing the thumbnail menu because I want its height to reflect the height of the blog entry on the left. I started out with this tutorial but I don't think it's necessary for my purposes, or even necessarily a good starting point for this type of functionality. TLDR: It currently looks like this, and I want it to look like this. Any ideas? I have a wrapper div 700px wide that is currently set to the following: Code: div.wrapper {
width: 700px;
height: auto;
background-image: url(../local/images/content.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: top left;
text-align: left;
padding: 0.05in;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -350px;
border: 2px #000000 ridge;
}
It renders fine in IE, FF, and Opera. Since the height of the content varies, I am trying to accomplish a minimal fixed height of 700px OR larger if the content is longer than 700 px. Any ideas? Hi... Not sure how to title this message, but here's the problem: I've got a site that has three columns of variable length text. Each column must have a 2px left border. No problem so far. Under each column of text, I must align a block of links. These blocks must align along the top link. The borders must continue from the top of the text to the bottom of the links. Does this make sense? The problem I have is the border is only solid on the column with the longest amount of text and breaks on the shorter ones. I can get this to work by setting a fixed height for the text, but that doesn't seem like a great solution as it would have to be changed as the text length changes. my CSS: Code: .box {border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; width: 254px; float: left; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;}
.txt {font: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;}
.linkscontainer {width: 853px; clear: both;}
.linkbox1 {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}
.linkbox {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;}

I'm working on a website right now and have sort of dived in further than I understand conditional CSS. The website is he www.kekoz.com I have that little menu in the upper right and the info in the lower right. I like those being fixed so when the user scrolls they are always up there. But I can't figure out how to make them stop from colliding with the main pictures when you change the height of the page. Any help would be grand! Right now they're position super simple: Code: #links{ position:fixed; top: 20px; right:20px; width:300px; }
Code: #info_box{ position:fixed; bottom: 25px; right:10px; width:550px; }
I tried to set a minimum height on them, but I think that would have to do with some sort of a container around them. Or maybe I'm just going about it all wrong. Also a couple other things I'm sort of thinking. I would like the "Scroll this way" thing to always be centered between the lower edge of the pictures and the bottom of the window. Not %100 sure how to get that set up. And the last thing I'm thinking for this page, which I'm not sure is all CSS would be to have the "scroll this way" thing actually fade based on the scroll position. I think this might be Jquery but thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone had any advice. 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! 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 Hi! My first post I got a problem with my sticky footer as you can see the footer is fine, fixed to the bottom of the page but I got an unnecessary scroll The site: www dot flyttamig dot com think the problem is that i put 100% height on html html, body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; } Can you guys help me get rid of this scroll Thanks |
