CSS - Relative Child Height That Does Not Overflow??
I'm having a problem getting a child element to be the full height of its parent without going over.
So if I have: Code: html, body {
height: 100%;
background-color: #E2E9EA;
}
#mainContainer {
width: 770px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #fff;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: 1px solid #000;
position: relative;
}
and then I implement: Code: <body> <div id="mainContainer"></div> </body> This should show a centered area in a layout. However, using a hieght of 100% for the child (mainContainer) makes it too long on the page and it extends beyond the border of the "parent" body tag. Even when I try using: Code: body #mainContainer { ... }
it does not work. How can I make the child (mainContainer) element be 100% of the parent (body) element without going over? Similar TutorialsFirefox ignores the white background in the "main" <div> in the following, but IE, Opera and Safari/Win all display the white background. Is this a firefox bug, or am I missing something here? Note: The z-indexes are for when the "main" div is scrolled... Also note: I am making the <body> tag relatively positioned because otherwise, Firefox (apparently) treats the viewport as the parent to the absolute-positioned element. In that case, it renders the white background until the bottom of the window, but reverts back to black "below the fold" because bottom: 0 is interpreted as the bottom of the window. Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background: black; color: silver; position: relative}
div#header {position: fixed; top: 0; left: 20%; height: 80px; z-index: 2; right: 0; background: gray; margin-bottom: 2px; color: yellow}
div#sidebar {position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 80%; background: silver; margin-right: 2px; color: maroon}
div#main {position: absolute; top: 80px; left: 20%; right: 0; bottom: 0; background: white; color: red; z-index: 1}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">

I am trying to have div mian, lightback, and darkback extend vertically to accommodate all cnav and content items. Obviously it is not working, but I cannot seem to spot my mistake. I would be very grateful if someone would be able to help me find where I am going wrong. HTML. Code:

I'm trying to create these two elements that are 100% of their parent element minus the height of anything above or below them. For example: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type = "text/css">
body
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #636E90;
}
div.everything
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 750px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #4A61A8;
}
.top
{
background-color: red;
height: 120px;
}
.left
{
float: left;
margin-left: 0px;
width: 125px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.right
{
float: right;
width: 125;
height: 100%;
margin-right: 0px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class = "everything">
<div class = "top">Top</div>
<div class = "left">Left</div>
<div class = "right">Right</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that the "left" and "right" elements extend beyond the bottom of "everything," and more precisely they're extending the height of "top" off the bottom of "everything." That probably read poorly. The "left" and "right" elements are doing what they're supposed to do in that they are 100% of the parent element "everything." The problem is that this height isn't derived as being height of "everything" - height of "top", but instead it's just the absolute height of "everything." I've been trying to figure out how to make their height 100% of their parent element after other elements, such as "top", are placed inside the same parent element. found what I was looking for. Hi - I'm working on a page with what I think should be a relatively simple CSS layout. Basically, I have a table on the top half of the page (it displays an address book). The table has a <thead> and <tbody>, and the <tbody> is set to overflow: auto, to give me a scrollbar when its contents gets too big. The bottom half of the page uses AJAX to fetch an entry from the address book, and display more details. It too uses overflow: auto to show scroll bars when necessary. Each element is in a <div>, and I used height: 45% (or so) on each to try to make the whole thing fit on one page, so that there is no whole-page vertical scrolling. An example of the code I'm working with can be found at http://kc9ddi.us/ex.html . My design is working nicely in Firefox, but not IE. IE does not seem to do the right thing with the height: attribute in CSS, so their is no scroll bars in the individual parts of the page, like I want. Can anyone offer any advice here? I am trying to set a height of a container div, and have the inner div spill out of the container without changing the height of the container div: Code: <style media="screen" type="text/css">
.inner{
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #0000FF;
}
.outer {
width: 120px;
height: 20px;
background-color: #FFFF00;
overflow:visible;
}
</style>
IE 6 is giving me trouble. It insists on making the container div the same height as the inner div. Anything I can do to tell IE6 to not change the height of the container? Does anyone know why overflow:hidden does not work when height is given in percentage? The following example does not work and all values from 1 to 20 are shown on screen ... Code: <div style="overflow:hidden;height:10%;border:1px solid green;"> 1<br /> 2<br /> 3<br /> 4<br /> 5<br /> 6<br /> 7<br /> 8<br /> 9<br /> 10<br /> 11<br /> 12<br /> 13<br /> 14<br /> 15<br /> 16<br /> 17<br /> 18<br /> 19<br /> 20<br /> </div> Changing height:10% to height:50px makes the overflow:hidden works fine. Does anyone know how I can make the overflow:hidden css rule with height rule given in percentage? Can anyone tell me whether they have experienced height and overflow problems with FireFox and Mozilla browsers? Check this out: Test Page. It looks fine in IE, but not the other two. I've been working on this half the day with no solution. Can anyone help? If the problem can be solved without the use of javascript, that would be preferred. Thanks, Darin I want to set up a table so that error messages appear directly above specific table columns in the form of a div tag with a red background and the same width as the column. To do this I've added a div tag inside the <th> element of the table, with the display property set to 'none'. Code: <th> <nobr>Header Content</nobr> <div id="error_message">Error Message</div> </th> When I want to display an error message above the table I use the following styles on the div tag Code:
background-color: #ffcccc;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: -100px;
z-index: 1;
display: block;
It displays the div tag above the header like I want, but it still stretches the height of the <th> element as if it was still contained inside of it. How do I do this without stretching the cell height? I am building a custom form control that behaves more or less like a <select> menu. For the dropdown portion of the menu, I need to set a max-height. If the dropdown contains enough options to go beyond the max-height a vertical scrollbar should appear.

I'm seeing some unexpected behaviour ihn Firefox. When the page is loaded for the 1st time, the height of the dropdown portion of the menu is only large enough to see 1 option and no scrollbars are displayed. If I hit refresh (without holding the Shift key), the menu's height goes to its max-height and displays as expected. The only property I could find that has any effect on this behaviour is overflow. If I remove it all together or set it to scroll, it displays at the correct height. Unfortunately, neither of these are an option since they will not produce the desired scrolling behaviour. Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? I'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Just like the title says, the child is wider than the parent, and i want it automatically centered, so t hat the centers of both divs are inline with each other. I tried the Code: margin 0px auto; which works if the child is smaller, but it doesn't seem to work in this case, any other ideas? My CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } 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 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 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">

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) */
}
div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1
{
width: 575px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> 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 |
