CSS - Percentage Relativity In Css
If I make a wrap, and put other elements in the wrap, and say I want those elements to be x% wide, am I saying x% wide of the window or the wrap?
Similar TutorialsSo I have read a bunch of different results from my google searches and none seem to do what I would like. I'm beginning to think that there isn't really a solution at this point in time. Here is my setup: Code: <div id='container'>
<div id='header'></div>
<div id='menuBar'></div>
<div id='main'>
<div id='content'></div>
</div>
<div id='footer'></div>
</div>
'header', 'menuBar', and 'footer' are all fixed height. 'main' MAY have a sub-menu div. When it does have this sub-menu, I would like for that sub-menu to be full height and 20% wide. Otherwise, I would like for 'content' to be as wide as possible. Currently I'm floating the sub-menu left and as a result the text in 'content' wraps around it after the bottom. In case my description makes no sense... Default Behavior: Current Behavior: Desired Behavior: It's so pretty and colorful I *could* create a second template for pages with a sub-menu, but I would prefer not to have to resort to that. Hi i've got a question... i have a text area block. When i assign a height of 200% to the block it doesnt seem to do anything, but when i assign a height in pixel eg 200px, it works? Hi, I'm trying to do a two column layout which spans across the whole screen. This would be easy if I was just using percentages because I could just go: Left: width:20%; Right: width:80%; But I need the left bar to be a fixed width and the right bar to span the rest of the screen. There might be something really simple here that I'm overlooking but at the minute I can't think of how I would do it... Joe IE seems to have a lot of trouble with percentage based heights. In certain circumstances they seem to be okay, other times they seem be completely ignored. Pixel based DIV heights seem to work, but I don't know if it is just the circumstance or what not. Does anyone know what the actual "rules" are about this as it applies to IE? Hi all!! I've just finished this website relifeservizi.com but I have experienced some problems with browsers compatibility. .Links. In the index page relifeservizi.com links are buttons (images) you can click and they should have a complete border but it does work only for textual links, for the images I have only the bottom border. But I don't mind because I like it this way. The problem is that Firefox displays always the border at the bottom of each image, white Chrome and Safari don't. The only link without border is the first one, that is the company's logo and I really can't understand why!!! .Googlemaps. I embedded a googlemap here relifeservizi.com/contatti.htm with percentage sizes, width e height in %. It does work both with Chrome and Safari but not with Firefox, displaying it small. .Vimeo. Same problem for a video I embedded from vimeo. relifeservizi.com/relife.htm I used percentages in size and it displays correctly with Safari and Chrome but again not with Firefox. This is pretty much irritating, because I'm really not able to understand what is the problem and I do need that link underline on hover... And it's much more irritating because I'm a Firefox user anyway u___u Sorry if this is a common problem. I tried a search but didn't find anything that seemed helpful. I've got "frame" (not a <frame>) around the content of my site and I need this frame to expand vertically if necessary, according to the content. I've done this by having a 1px high image, set to 100% height and an exact pixel width. The frame is a table, three cells wide, with the side images in the two outermost cells and the content in the central cell. It's the side images that cause a problem. What I've got works fine in Firefox but in IE6, the sides of the frame don't display, or the image displays but doesn't stretch (I can't tell 'cos the images are only 1px high). Here's the basic table layout: Code: <table id="frameTable" border="0"> <tr> <td> <img id="FrameLeftImg" src="resource/frameleft.png" /> </td> <td> <?php /*Add constructed page data*/ ?></td> <td> <img id="FrameRightImg" src="resource/frameright.png"/> </td> </tr> </table> And here's the CSS for the side images: Code:
#FrameLeftImg {
position: relative;
width: 26px;
height:100%;
}
#FrameRightImg {
position: relative;
width: 28px;
height:100%;
}
The table is contained in a div that is absolutely positioned by pixels but has no value specified for width and height. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Hi, First off, I've tried a quick search to see if anyone else has posted this problem, but didn't come up with anything. So, if I am repeating, apologies :-) Anyway, I've got a problem that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. It's probably quite simple, but my CSS is a bit hit and miss ;-) Anyway, firstly, here's the CSS: Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #FFFFFF url(images/img01.gif) repeat-x;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #8E959B;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 225px;
margin: auto;
padding: 12px 0 0 0;
}
#logo {
float: left;
width: 208px;
height: 208px;
margin: 0px 0 0 14px;
padding: 0 15px 0 0;
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
}
#logo h1 {
padding: 120px 0 0 0;
text-align: center;
letter-spacing: -3px;
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: normal;
}
#logo h2 {
margin-top: -10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: medium;
}
#logo a {
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: lowercase;
}
#logo a:hover {
color: #990000;
}
#splash {
position: absolute;
left: 250px;
margin-right: 10px;
top: 100px;
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
width: 73%;
max-width: 73%;
height: 115px;
}
#menu {
float: right;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
#menu ul {
height: 55px;
margin: 0;
padding: 41px 0;
list-style: none;
}
#menu li {
display: inline;
}
#menu a {
border: 3px solid #EB850C;
display: block;
float: left;
width: 80px;
height: 22px;
padding-top: 12px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: lowercase;
letter-spacing: -1px;
font-size: 1em;
}
#menu a:hover, #menu .active a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
And the HTML: Code: <body> <div id="header"> <div id="logo"> <h1><a href="#">Company Logo Image</h1> <h2></a></h2> </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li ><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">News</a></li> <li><a href="#">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="#">Calendar</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="splash">This is the page heading montage image</div> </div> </div> </body> The problem is, I need the splash div to resize depending on the width of the screen. The idea being a cheat so depending on different resolutions, the different the size of the div and with a background-image set, the image will appear to expand/contract depending on the width of the screen. It's gonna be a repeating montage image. If the window is over, say, 80% wide, then it works fine. Thing is, if you shrink the width of the window past about 80%, then the div starts to go off the right hand side of the screen... Hopefully I've made myself reasonably clear? Any ideas? Thanks! Good morning. I'm in the procces of changing my old table based site to css/ divs layout. Instead of using a "position: absolute" setup, I was trying to get the page to fit dynamicaly with different screen resolution (I placed the initial divs with "left: 20%;" and "right:20%;" which seems to work fine in FF, but fails completely in IE). So, in the end I had to resort to fixed positions and sizes... not what I wanted... but it'll do in the meantime (Until I find the propper tutorials to get this done). Meantime, I have a problem with two small divs I'm trying to place at the center and bottom of the page. They do display at the right position with FF, but are placed on the left with IE. text-align: center doesn't seem to do the trick... and since the "align" tag is going to be deprecated... I don't want to use it. How do I set these to be placed in the bottom/center? The page: http://www.onpoi.net/ah/ (Note that only the index.php has been redone, the rest is still with the old table layout). Thanks in advance I have a left div which is fixed let is say 400px and the right div should extend to the edge of the screen. How can i get it to extend. If i don't give any width to the right div: The right div has other dives which has got dotted bottom border, these dotted border will not extend to the end any ideas? cheers I think this is more of a css problem than php thats why its here I can get percentage bars to work without text on them, but not with text, the bar is either pushed below the text, or the text is pushed onto 3-4 lines, depending on how wide the bar is So far i have: The php PHP Code: $poke[] = '<div class="percentage"> <span style="position:relative;">'.$text.' ('.round($per, 2).'%)</span> <div class="perc" style="width:'.$per.'%;"></div> </div>'."\n"; the css Code: .percentage {
background-color:#800000;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
height:15px;
font-size:10px;
z-index:2;
}
.perc {
visibility:visible;
height:15px;
z-index:3;
background-color:#000;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}
This is how it looks with that code I hope I can explain this in a way that makes sense. I have a table layout where the number of columns is variable (sometimes it can have 1 column, sometimes it can have up to 9 columns), depending on what data is filled out on a previous form. The code in question: Code: <tr> <td> <div style="float: left; width: 13px"><img src="arrow.gif"></div> <div style="float: left; width: 93%;">My explanatory text goes here!</div> </td> <td> Column 2 Text </td> <td> Column 3 Text (and so on) </td> </tr> The two divs there need to float next to each other -- the first div is a little 13x13 arrow, the second div is some explanatory text. I can not just float the image left (and not put the text in a div), because the client wants the text to be left aligned in the div, not wrapping around the image. The issue: If there are less than 5 or 6 columns, it works beautifully. If you put more columns in there, then the second div appears below the first div. I've been fiddling with the widths on the second div, but it has to be a percentage (not a set number of pixels), because the number of columns is variable (as is the width of those columns). How can I make the columns float next to each other regardless of the width of the table cell that they are within? Any help is appreciated. I'm doing a 2 column layout via css (my first attempt at doing full css layout) and I'm having some problems in firefox getting it to work right. Code:
#navBar{
float: left;
width: 20%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #eeeeee;
border-right: 1px solid #0163CB;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float:left;
}
then my divs are as follows:
<div id=navBar>
stuff
</div>
<div id=content>
more stuff
</div>
The problem is that in firefox the top of content sits directly to the bottom and left of the end of navBar . If I set conent width to 78% it seems to be fine but it there are borders inside content that i want to take up 100% of the remaining page. Thanks Dave I'm wondering if it's possible to combine fixed pixel width borders and percentage width? I know I can do this... Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<style>
.div1
{
float: left;
width: 50%;
background: green;
}
.div2
{
float: left;
width: 48%;
background: red;
padding: 1%;
}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div class='div1'>
test
</div>
<div class='div2'>
test
</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But what I'd like to be able to do is specify a padding of 10px on div2 without breaking the layout. Is this possible with the w3c box model? I have added a percentage padding to some cells of my website (I'm really obliged to use tables and cells for that part of my website, so please do not suggest replacing the cells to DIVs as a solution). For some odd reason, the percentage padding shows just fine with Opera or Internet Explorer, but does not work at all in Firefox. Here is my CSS (and in dark red bold, the percentage padding concerned): Quote: html, body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; } a:link, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000; } a:active, a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000; } form { margin: 0px; } img { border: 0px; } table { border-collapse: collapse; } #top { background: url(../images/top.jpg); height: 100px; } #bar { background: url(../images/bar.jpg); font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; height: 26px; width: 100%; } #bar1 { position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 0px; background: url(../images/bar1.jpg); height: 26px; width: 4px; } #bar2 { position: absolute; top: 100px; right: 0px; background: url(../images/bar2.jpg); height: 26px; width: 4px; } .bar4 { font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; width: 200px; } .bar5 { font-family: verdana, tahoma, serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; height: 18px; } a.nav:link, a.nav:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } a.nav:active, a.nav:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff; } img.top { height: 100px; width: 395px; } td.bar1 { padding-left: 6%; } td.bar2 { padding-right: 6%; } td.bar3 { padding-left: 1.4%; } And here is the HTML (in bold again the place concerned): Quote: <?$page='';?><?include'body/head.txt';?> <div id="top"> <img src="images/top1.jpg" class="top" alt=""/></div><div id="bar1"></div><div id="bar2"></div> <table id="bar"> <tr> <td class="bar1"> <a href="index.php" class="nav">Index</a> | <a href="forums.php" class="nav">Forums</a> </td><td align="right" class="bar2"><form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom"> <table> <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="domains" value="xander6669.com"/></td> <td><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" checked="checked"/></td><td>Le Web</td> <td class="bar3"><input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="xander6669.com"/></td><td>A Labrie.com</td> <td class="bar3"><input type="text" class="bar4" name="q" maxlength="200"/></td> <td class="bar3"><input type="submit" class="bar5" value="Rechercher"/></td> </tr> </table> </form></td> </tr> </table> </body></html> So, anyone knows what the problem is? If you want to view how this thing looks like in Opera/IE/Firefox, just go the http://xander6669.com/. Thanks for any help. |
