CSS - Text Flow Into Newspaper Columns?
HI,
I have an A-Z contents list for my website. I can manually split the list into 3 columns of equal length, but that only works as long as the list doesn't change length and the window is the right size. Is there a way to have a single long list and automatcally show it in 3 newspaper style columns? Thanks Richard Similar TutorialsIs there a way to make text flow through to a new line if there is too much text to fit in the defined width of a button? hi i have a table that has another small table of a fixed height aligned to the right. what i want is that when i enter text in the larger table, the text should 'flow' around the corner of the table. +----------+----+ +....1.....+..2.+ +..........+----+ +...............+ +---------------+ when i enter text in 1, i want that it wraps it around 2 as well. please tell me how to do it. so I have a side menu & main content inside a main container which has background so it looks like side menu & main content have diff. backgrounds and they all of same height.. Problem: I would like to add something to the BOTTOM of the side menu but am not able to do so.. this text has to appear at the bottom of the page even if content of side menu is less.. I could do "position:absolute" and give it top:870. but this is not dynamic as when the main content is larger it appears this text is in the MIDDLE rather than at the bottom? Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs). My problem is: - divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows. Here is a html code: Code: <!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER -->

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg What are some reasons that a div box could come out of the flow of the page. I know when you set an elements position to absolute, it comes out of the flow. Fixed does this as well. Any other reasons, or bugs. I have a couple div boxes which are positioned relatively and floated left and right. They have come out of the flow and now overlap other elements. I have no idea why.

Hello Friends I've a problem where my images flow away after i did added an banner has the following css code Code:
#topbar{
position:absolute;
padding: 2px;
background-color: #F4F3B3;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
}
HTML Code Code: <div id="topbar"> <a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><img src="images/close.gif" alt="blah" border="0" /></a> ads goes here </div> now the images on IE below the banner flow away and after i make refresh it back again i've tired to change position:absolute; to fixed/relative ..ect but it will effect the banner since it moves down with the scroll thanks in advance Hi All, I am using DIV tags to hold content rather than using a table. I have about 16 elements with the following style applied: Code:
div.game {
text-align: center;
float: left;
height: 180px;
width: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This works well, the DIVs will fit as many per row as possible but it can leave a lot of empty space to the right of the screen (up to 150px obviously) and if the last row has less DIVs they to the left of the screen like this: |--- page ---| [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ] I would like to be able to either center the DIVs or to space them out like this: |--- page ----| [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ______ [ ] Hope that is clear. I can't set relative widths, as I want the page to scale. So is there any way I can acheive the effect I want? Thanks. I'm running into a problem with an interface that I'm developing. Basically it's a collapsible treeview using DHTML and the display property to 'open' and 'close' tables. I need to have several of these tables side by side but without overflowing horizontally so that the user has to scroll horizontally. The best way I've found was to float the elements so that any overflowing tables would be wrapped. Example: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] However, a problem arised when I 'open' and 'closed' the tables repeatedly (three times or more). The other tables started to wrap immediately after the first table (the one I was opening and closing). So that all the tables lined up in a single column eventually and not flowing as they should've been. Example: [] [] [] [] [] Upon refreshing the page, everything flows as it should. Please let me know if I'm unclear in my description. Hello, I'm stumped on how to float an image to the left, and still keep it in the flow of the document. Here is an example off my head. Code:
#container {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
img.floatleft {
float:left;
}
div {
display: inline;
}
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
The image will exceed the bounds of 'container' if the image is larger than the text is tall. How can I get around this? Thanks again for the help. webg <div>text</div> I've got a 2 column layout. It goes like this: .leftnav { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } .content { position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 0px; } In the html: <div class="leftnav">A bunch of navigation</div> <div class="content">A bunch of content</div> Now, underneath both of these columns, spanning the width of both, I want a footer div. The leftnav and the content will not be the same length down the page. I don't know which of these 2 columns will be longer on any given page. However, underneath the longest column, I want to put my footer div. I could do this with a table easily enough. But how fun would that be? 'Ello, This problem is a bit complex to try and explain on here so if this gets too confusing just let me know and I'll try and clear up whatever you are confused about. I am currently building a site that has a wrapper div with a width set to 100% and a max-width of 1000px so that on smaller screens the site will appear nicer and not have horizontal scrollbars. In this wrapper div is a content div that is 84% of the wrappers width and has it's margin set to 0 auto to make in then content div centre in the wrapper. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to change the content divs width from 84% to 100% once the wrapper div get to a small enough size. At the moment when the screen gets too small the content div is still 84% size of the wrapper div and centred, but say on a screen with a resolution of 800x600 I think it would be more beneficial to have to content div take up the whole wrapper to display more content. I was thinking of setting a min-width but then if the screen gets smaller than the min-width a horizontal scroll bar would appear. I was just wondering if something like this was possible, if not it doesn't matter to much as I can set the min-width up for a 800x600 screen resolution and anything below that probably isn't too important anyway. Hello, My page when correct should show the HeaderContainer, blow that the ActionContainer which has, 3 column divs, then below that the FooterContainer. It is important that the page build starts with the CenterContainer, then the LeftContainer, then RightContainer. My issue is that the LeftContainer and RightContainer columns both are aligning to the bottom of each other, and to the bottom of the CenterContainer column. I think this could be an issue with floats. What do you think? See online demo, http://tlcgiftsandbaskets.com/demo/positioning/position_css.php Code:

Each layer has a Y-repeat repeating image that tiles seamlessly. There is one for the left spacer, the middle content, and the right spacer. The Nav menu on the left are just images placed in at the top of the left spacer layer. I'm trying to get each of these layers to expand as content fills up the middle Content layer. This doesnt work at all in Firefox - with any excess content just heading off into white space. And it works somewhat with IE - with only the Content layer to expand as content fills it. I know this is a recurring issue with CSS, but is there a simple fix for this? I've seen this done before without any Javascript hacks, but can't remember where. I do remember, it didn't look like the most graceful solution. And in IE, the navigation .gifs on the left have a gap between each of them. I found that odd since they're just <IMG>s within the layer. Any help would be greatly appreciated Hi, im kind of new to css and im trying to find the most effective way to organize content into 4 columns, I need the columns to be fixed of about 175px, is it possible to use list for this? Never Mind, I got it, I just discovered what "clear:" does I'm building a CSS web site and the main body of the page has a left column containg navigation and then the content on the right. What I want to have is that the height of the smallest of the 2 columns to equal that of the the highest, currently the navigation either runs over the borders of the actual box, or the text from the right column undercuts the navigation column. To see what I mean see www.twstd.net/future/. Hoiw can I prevent the above display issues? Thanks. Have a little problem with the 3-column layout. I'm converting it down to 2-column, which should be easier. However, in all exampels I've seen, there is no need to assign height, and all of the column divs always stay the same height. I can't seem to duplicate this. Here's what I have: PHP Code: <div id="leftCol"> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> <p>crap</p> </div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> <p>more content</p> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> and the relevant CSS: PHP Code: .clear{ /* clearing element for floats */ font-size: 0px; /* for weird IE */ height: 0px; width: 0px; clear: both; } div{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px black solid; } #leftCol{ width: 100px; border: 5px #000077 solid; border-top: 0px #000077 solid; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; } * html #leftcol{ /* Tan Box Hack */ width: 104px; width: 100px; } IE likes it (IE likes just about anything), but the "more content" text gets wrapped around the "leftCol" in Firefox. Any suggestions to what I'm missing? Thanks! Hi, I am looking to retrieve content from a database (that part I can handle) and then output it to the browser, but my css is poor. I want to create a two column format, which I am ok with using two div's in using absolute positioning in a relative frame, but that doesn't allow content to flow. I am looking for text that flows from the fixed bottom of the first column to the top of the second. If there is a way to do this, or anyone can point me to any resources, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Hi I am new to css and am trying to use the following code to make a page. i cant seem to position the content on the right of the left nav. i want it so that the content div resizes and stays in the same position when the browser is resized but the leftnav stays in the same position and doesnt re size....any help would be appreciated. third.css body { /*sets properties for the body of the document*/ background-color:#ffffff; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; } #container { margin-top: 50px; margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; padding: 0px; background-color: orange; width: 80%; min-width: 181px; } #footer { padding: 0px; position: relative; padding: 0px; background-color: yellow; width: 100%; } #content { left:200px; width:100%; background-color: red; } #leftnav { /*sets properties for the left nav bar*/ background-color : #66ccff; width: 180px; } third.html <div id="container"> container <div id="leftnav">left nav</div> <div id="content">content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content </div> <div id="footer">footer</div> </div> Notice on NZBMatrix.com on the left hand side, it looks as if there were multiple boxes where normally just one navigation box would exist in a three-column layout. I already know how to do a three-column layout, but my question is, are there several different columns on the left of this website, or is it just one column with several sections defined by borders? Thank you for any advice. |
