CSS - One Container Inside Another
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
I have 2 containers, one inside the other. If the inside container grows I want the outside container to grow with it. Is that possible? Here is what I have so far... datacontainer is not growing when piccontainer grows. HTML: Code: <body> <div id="datacontainer"> <div id="piccontainer"><img src="../../My Pictures/Copy of PiercedDesktop51024x768.jpg" alt="" /></div> Data</div> </body> CSS: Code: body {
background-color: #000000;
margin-top: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-image: url('VSADImages/Border.jpg');
}
#datacontainer {
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: yellow;
background-color: #00FFFF;
border-width: 2px;
height: auto;
}
#piccontainer {
float: left;
width:700px;
margin: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: green;
background-color: #FF6600;
border-width: 2px;
}
Similar TutorialsHi, I have 3 div boxes in a container, they sit side by side (i.e. 3 in a row) with different amounts of text in each div. The dilemma is that I need all the div's to be the same height as the tallest div. can someone tell me how to do this? thanks Iv got my boxes sorted!!! but im quite newbie to CSS layout and stuff... so i want to put two boxes in side my container box side by side. i decided to use float... but they float outside my container box, which i suppose is what they are supposed to do. This is what im trying to achieve. Code: ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- --------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Float Left | | Float right | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------- --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- I'm pretty new to using CSS so please be gentle I'm trying to hack (develop is to lofty a word at this point) this tableless page and get the bg image to stick to the right/top corner of the "content" div. IE6 renders it pretty well but Firefox (my preferred browser) is horrendous. The image size is 400x392. Any thoughts or a good reference on this would be greaty appreciated. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="generator" content="http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php" /> <style type="text/css"> #container { width: 760px; width: 780px; width: 760px; border: 1px solid gray; margin: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 10px; } #banner { padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225); } #content { padding: 5px; margin-left: 215px; background-color: gray; background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(images/bg_run.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 400px; background-position: right top; } #sidebar-a { float: left; width: 200px; \width: 210px; w\idth: 200px; margin: 0; margin-right: 5px; padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(235, 235, 235); } #footer { clear: both; padding: 5px; margin-top: 5px; background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225); } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="banner">Banner</div> <div id="sidebar-a">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </body> </html> Well I'm running into just a few difficulties trying to enclose a object inside of another container. The problem is that the container does not repeat the background when I lengthen the boxes within it. Can someone with a excellent CSS eye take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've played with overflow:auto; but the problem is that I need to set the width of the container at 990px, and it doesn't seem to work if I statically set the width. http://www.obelix.ca/templates/index.html I am trying to get the blue box (which is the content container) to be big enough to cover both divs "cbox1" and "cbox2". Right now it only covers the <h1> title and neither of the cboxs. I also need these two cbox's to be side by side instead of on top of or below each other. I can achieve one of these at a time but not both when I play around with the float values of the cbox's. I would appreciate any help at getting the results I desire. Thanks. Here is the basic html I am working with. Code: <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style media="screen" type="text/css">

#cbox2 {
border-radius:15px;
border: 2px solid #000000;

You can pop this right into try it: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic I need to know what attributes to give to my container div in order for this to work correctly. I have a div and within it are many floating divs, each that contain an image thumbnail and caption. I do it this way so the images fit on the page dynamically and it works great. Unfortunately the container div does not wrap around the height of the images. This causes content that should appear below the images to show up behind them. How do I make the container div actually stretch around all the child divs? here is a code sample Code: <div style="border: 1px solid blue; width: 100%; display : inline;"> <div style="float: left; margin: 2px;

I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:
<body>
<div class="colorbox">
<div class="colorboxtop">
<h2>title goes here</h2>
</div><!-- /colorboxtop -->
<div class="boxcontent">
<p>You should read this and <a href="#">Click Here</a>.</p>
<a title="Go Here!" href="#">[button]</a>
</div><!-- /boxcontent -->
</div><!-- /colorbox -->
</body>
No great complexity there...here's the CSS: Code:
body {
color:#666666;
font-family:Lucida Grande,Verdana,sans;
font-size:10px;
font-size-adjust:none;
font-style:normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:13px;
}
.colorbox {
margin-bottom:9px;
padding-bottom:15px;
width:300px;
border:thin solid #CCCCCC;
}
.colorbox h2 {
color:#FFCC33;
}
.colorbox {
color:#CC6633;
padding:0px 20px 15px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.colorboxtop {
background-color: #dddddd;
height:50px;
color:#666666;
background-image: url(images/bg_Tiles/stripe-dk-blue-green.png);
padding:auto 20px;
}
.colorbox a {
color:#C5DBE9;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}
Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind. So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix... (Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.) Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container. <!--AK47--> <div id="imgcont0"> <div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div> <div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div> </div> <!--/AK47--> imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be. Stylesheet: #imgcont0 { width: 825px; height: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #imgcont1 { width: 650px; } #imgcont2 { margin-left: 675px; width: 150px; } As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas? here's my site for reference. http://www.tobaccosmokeshop.com/temp.htm here's some code PHP Code: #breakfootercontainer{ clear:both; border:solid 1px red; background:url(images/navback.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding:0px 0px 0px 189px; width:100%; } #footer{ border:solid 1px green; float:left; width:562px; text-align:center; } breakfootercontainer is a div that spans the whole width of my site, but pads over for my navigation bar. The problem is, In IE the container holds the footer, but in Mozilla (PC) and on my mac in safari and Mozilla the container is only like 0 px height and the footer div pops over the bottom border on the container. Here's my code I'm using. PHP Code: <div id='breakfootercontainer'> <div id='footer'> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> <a href='' class="mainnav">duplicate nav</a><br> </div> </div> What is causing the container to not fill around the info inside the footer? Also, I have 2 columns(red border around field picture and welcome column and the nav with the blue border) with a container around them (big white border around both), one shorter than the other (the red border column), but I want the shorter one to go the full length of the container (white border) so my column backgrounds line up and part of the page isn't longer than the other. I want to use my footer as a cap all the way across the page. Is there any way to do this without putting <br>'s in the smaller container to fill it out? I am a new user to the board and apparently cannot make posts containing URL's. Examples illustrating my issues described below are at ...lilinks.com /gp/css_prob/kickboxing.html I want to get the vertical scrolling images to consistently display from the top of the page and terminate at the top of the black footer. Similar image scrollers will appear on other pages that will be of varying depth (follow the 'Brazilian Jiu Jitsu' link for an example) Right now I have one 'container' that would be used for all the pages. I could create separate 'containers' for each scroller and set the height in pixels, but of course I cannot control browser settings, OS, etc. So my basic question is how can I contain the 'container' to 100% of the main content area without exceeding it. I want it to look like this: /gp/css_prob/kb.jpg The style sheet is he /gp/css_prob/css/test.css Thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm not sure where I'm making my mistake but I can't seem to get the boxes inside the container to stay at 100%. Here is the css code Code:
body {
margin: 0; /* zeroes the margins on the body */
padding: 0; /* zeroes the padding on the body ~ Opera carries a default
padding and requires this zeroing */
border: 0; /* zeroes off any existing border */
text-align: center; /* Hack to center the wrapper in IE5.x pc */
background-color:#BB7900;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}
/* START OF LAYOUT FOR LITTLECREATIONSPHOTOGRAPHY.COM */
.wrapper { /* This is the block that contains all other blocks */
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:relative;
border:1px solid black;
}
.top_menu { /* This is the box that will contain the link at the top */
height:80px;
width:100%;
border-bottom:1px solid white;
}
.middle_container { /* This is the container box that keeps everything right width and center */
position:relative;
width:750px;
height:100%;
margin:0px auto;
z-index:0;
border:1px solid white;
z-index:1;
}
.left_content { /* This the the left hand on content box */
position:relative;
float:left;
height:100%; /*546px;*/
width:160px;
text-align:left;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 2px;
border-right:1px solid white;
z-index:2;
}
.right_content { /* The box that will contain right hand content, company title and picture */
position:relative;
height:100%;
margin-left:160px;
text-align:left;
padding:4px 2px 2px 10px;
border:1px solid black;
}

Ideally, this will repeat and alternate colors but the text is not colored only a small section above the text. I thought that by enclosing it in the div, the background would be applied to the entire text. What am I doing incorrectly? Hello, I am asking this here because maybe you people have seen something like this before. I am trying to create a container that will contain other div boxes. These boxes could have differen width and heigths, and I would like thos container to handle there position. I do not know if this is even possible, another solution would be that you put the boxes in the container and determine how many you want to display in one line. However thanks for any sugestions, regards, sim085 Firefox is giving: http://www.promogift.be/index.php?page=producten&catnr=7 So it shows the content out of his box, after a refresh everything is correct, how can i get it working from first loadtime? I've losing my mind on this. When I look at the following layout in IE6, the "matterR" DIV background color is filling up the entire "content" DIV -- as opposed to staying in its container DIV ("columnR") like I need it to. Any idea why it's bigger than it's container DIV? Code: #content { margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 10px; width: 780px; overflow: hidden }
#columnR { width: 595px; height: 308px; float: right; overflow: auto }
#matterR { background: #6d6f71; padding: 20px 20px 40px 70px }
<div id="content">
<div id="columnR">
<div id="matterR">Scrolling text content here...</div>
</div>
</div>
Keep in mind that I can't really assign a pixel width to "matterR" -- as its container DIV needs to scroll vertically. It seems if I assign a pixel width, it want to scroll horizontally to compensate for the scrollbar. Any ideas? Thank you! Hi, I'm trying to center the main container here, as you can see it's aligning to the left: http://www.wordpressforrealestate.c...es/Design2/www/ If I remove the container width of 100% it centers, however, I need that 100% width so my footer background image can span across the whole footer. Any ideas? Thanks. I got a bit of a problem, I don't know if this is possible but I want a container that resizes depending on the content inside it. BUT I want the rest of the containers to be the same size as the biggest. I.e. --------- --------- --------- --------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------- --------- --------- --------- See the first one is bigger? Well I want the rest to be of the same size, i.e. --------- --------- --------- --------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------- --------- --------- --------- |
