CSS - Dynamic Height
Ok im trying to have a division that expands with the content however, although this works in IE if i dont specify a height, in browsers like firefox the background color just stops even though the content carries on.
Code: <div id="content"></div> Code:
div#content
{
background-color: #F3F3F3;
}
ive tried adding height: 100% but it doesnt make any difference Similar TutorialsI have a page where I would like to have boxes floating to the left. I have a constant width on the containing div, so that I get three boxes per row. Now, I would like these boxes to have the same height per row so that if one box have more content than the others on that row, they will stretch so that they all have the same height. I would like it to look like the products on www.netonnet.se, but using divs instead of tables. As I've done it now the boxes get different height. Anyone got a fix? here's my content and the css for the boxes: #contentProducts{ position:absolute; width:600px; margin-top:1em; } .box { float:left; text-align:center; width: 190px; background: #ffffff; border-right: 1px solid rgb(151,149,150); margin-left:0.4em; margin-bottom:0.5em; height:100%; } .box a{ font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #0c2c56; } .box a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } .box h1 { margin:0; font: bold 1em Verdana, Arial; text-align: center; } .box h2 { margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.9em 1em; font: .8em Verdana, Arial; text-align: left; } .box h3 { margin:0; font: 1em Verdana, Arial; text-align: center; color: #ce3929; font-weight: bold; } .box .contentProductButtons { position:relative; cursor:hand; background: url('../../Images/fill.gif'); background-color:#fff; border-right:1px solid #999; border-bottom:1px solid #999; Z-INDEX: 3; bottom: 0px; left:0px; margin-top:10px; WIDTH: 190px; height:20px } Hello, i am creating a dynamic content php page. I start with a photoshop image and create slices and have it output the HTML and CSS table. The problem i am having is that the center cell where the content should go does not expand when the the text goes out of its bound. Is there a way i can do this? Here is the code and a link to the example output. Code:

http://67.86.83.106:81/homeline/index.php I would like the bottom portion along with the menu cell to resize vertically based on the amount of data but always atleast have the given size it is now. Thanks for the help I'm having trouble getting the height to be the same for two divs. One is a big content area (left) and the other is a vertical menu (right) that is created dynamically with PHP. I need the bottom of both divs to line up UNLESS there is a lot of content in the left div that makes the left side taller. (So, if there's not much text in the left content area, it should go ahead and line up with the bottom of the menu.) Is this possible? I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Not exactly sure where to post this question... but: I'm having a bit of trouble keeping a table at a fixed height. What I have is a Small 200x80px table above my an input form. As users type data into the input form, javascript code dynamically updates the contents of the table. I have the table width properly fixed, and the input fields have character limitations... however if a user inputs a lot of capital letters or other wide characters, the table automatically increases in height when the text wraps. It's pretty much necessary that the text wraps for the middle lines of the table, and on the other two lines I have used the javascript to remove wrapping, but I never want the table to grow longer than 80px no matter how much is typed in the fields. Is there a way that I can constrain the table height? Thanks in advance! Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! Hello everybody! I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}

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 I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
height: 150px;
width: 750px;
}
#bannerPic {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#bannerText {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: -150px;
}
And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. i came across a solution for this a while ago and can't repeat the result i have 3 columns, div format with a left left right float. 1 2 3 #2 contains content that varies with the page, #1 and #3 contain background elements. i need 1 and 3 to extend the full height of 2, even tho the actual content is much less. thanks for the help! Hi Guys, Consider the following box: PHP Code: <div style=border: 1mm black Solid; width: 148mm; height: 98mm;'> </div> 148mm + 1mm + 1mm = width of 150mm 98mm + 1mm + 1mm = width of 100mm Now why does neither firefox or ie manage to get it? Firefox is about 2mm out and ie is about 3mm out? Any ideas or is it some quirk? Charlie I have <div> content that diplays at different sizes in IE and Mozilla, which makes lining up the <div> container below it difficult. How can I get the <div> container to expand to the size of the content height wise so that I can then capture it's height with js, setting the <div> container below it to it's proper poisition. Thanks. I was thinking of using DIVs insteed of table to layout my page. The page would be dynamic meaing the text would come from DB so i would have new articles comming in daily. I will like I cant controll where the text is put on the text. If I use CSS width="20px" and hight"20px",, <-- Yeah i know it down to the pixle,, but that would mean i would need to make a new CSS for every article that where put into the db. <-- which would be a pain. So how can I keep the controll of placing my text without using tables ? Please help a new CSS user. Hi Guys... (and Girls) Great Forum you have going here... I've got a quick question regarding Dynamic CSS. I need to mention now though - I'm doing some development work at the moment, but, I'm not a developer so my approach and question might seem unusual to the experienced guys out there. Situation: I'm currently building a new site which is styled completly with CSS - e.g. No Tables or Cells. It's the first time I've done it but it's working great! The website is currently a fixed 760px across so that it will fit into 800 x 600 screen. Market research suggests about 20% of the visitors to this site use a 800 x 600 screen resolution and so I don't want them to have a horizontal scroll bar, but I would like the site to be at least 800px across for everyone not using a 800 x 600 screen resolution. My question is - Can I use a Javascript function to grab the screen resolution of a visitor to the site and then dynamically update the CSS of the site depending on screen resolution? And if so do you think it's a good approach? I'm sure there are others ways to do it but I'd prefer to work within the skills I already have, which includes Javascript and PHP. Thanks for the help... Matt Edwards Despite looking through the forum, having problems with dynamically creating an external CSS file. Can any one explain? Basically I currently have a CSS file: Code:
.normal
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
.userdef
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #FF0000;
font-weight: 800;
}
.big
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
I have set the site up so that the user can define there own colour of text for the userdef style, but im unsure how I can put this colour variable into the CSS file. I'm guessing I have to rename it into a .php file... but how will the browser still know its a CSS file?? Thanks very much for your help Hello all, I'm trying to create a site using all css positioning but I'm running into some problems that to me, shouldn't even be problems. The main issue I'm having is getting a container div's height to expand based on the height of divs nested inside the container. Vut all I get is the nested divs flowing outside of the container div. I don't have any code to share, because I have it so screwed up right now it wouldn't even help explain my issue. I'm going for a 3 column design, that is wrapped by said container div, and the container divs height would be based on the height of the longest div nested within. I've done alot of searching on the web, and the answer seems to be that this can't be done. But I'm giving it one more try here. I'm also a bit confused about relative positioning. Say that my conatiner div actually worked, and the height adjusted appropriatly. I have a left column, and a right column. both are position relative to the container. But when I do this, it seems to come out that the right columns top positioning is relative to the left columns positioning. If I design everything based on viewable browser area, and allow scrolling when necassery, css is a dream. But thats not very practical. It seems that css great for static websites, but not quite up to par for anything dynamic. Once I calm down and I'm not so frustrated, I'll start over and post some code if my explaination isn't descriptive enough. Any input would be appreciated! :-) Thank you for your time and assistance. I am working on building my first website in 2 years. I am very interested in developing a good site interface with standard code that may be easily edited later. Specifically, I am interested in creating dynamic navigation menus that will be supported by as many browsers as possible. I have seen dynamic menus created with javascript, but I know I don't want to do that since some browsers do not support it/or do not have it enabled by default. Can you comment on whether or not CSS would be a good solution to get around this problem? I have never used CSS to create menus in the past, but it seems very useful for standardizing a site interface. I am also open to other suggestions, what would you do to accomplish this task? |
