CSS - 100% Width Problem. I'm Stumped!

http://www.turboconceptsllc.com/main.php

in IE 6. how do i get the top banner stretch to span across the entire width of the browser? i think its stopping at the scroll bar, from what ive read..

how is this fixed?

Code:

.main_table_top_banner
{
    background-image:url('');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #3A3A3E;
    width: 100%;
    height: 50px;
    position:absolute;
    left:0px;
    top:0px;
    overflow: none;
    padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    border:0px solid;
    z-index:1;
}

I'm having a problem with a width attribute in IE7. The main content div on the page http://www.mckr.ie/test.html looks fine in Opera but in IE7 it makes the page scroll horizontally. Basically I didn't put a width on the #contentdiv styled <div>, its supposed to just occupy the width of the page automatically. When I put width 100% on it it messed up in IE6. Now I'm looking at it in IE7 and its similarly messed up. Does anyone know a way of solving this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's my HTML code: Code:

<div id="bannerdiv"></div>  

<div id="contentdiv"> 
Content here</div>  

<div id="leftnavdiv"><div id="leftnavouterdiv"><div id="leftnavinnerdiv">Nav here</div></div>  	<div id="searchdiv"><div id="innersearchdiv"><p><b>Site Web en Francais</b></p>  	  <form action="http://search.atomz.com/search/" method="get" target="main">          <b>Search the Site<br />          </b>          <input name="sp-q" size="15" />          <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Go" />          <input name="sp-a" type="hidden" value="sp10023119" />          <input name="sp-f" type="hidden" value="ISO-8859-1" />        </form>  	  
</div>    </div>  </div>  

<div id="topnavdiv">    <ul>      <li><a href="/" id="buttonhome"><b>Home</b></a></li>      <li><a href="about.html" id="buttonabout"><b>About Us</b></a></li>      <li><a href="location.html" id="buttonlocation"><b>Location</b></a></li>      <li><a href="contact.html" id="buttoncontact"><b>Contact Us</b></a></li>      <li><a href="news.html" id="buttonnews"><b>News</b></a></li>      <li><a href="people.html" id="buttonpeople"><b>People</b></a></li>      <li><a href="recruitment.html" id="buttonrecruitment"><b>Recruitment</b></a></li>    </ul>  

</div>

Here is the relevant CSS code:

Code:

#bannerdiv {  	background-image: url(images/logo_banner.gif);  	height: 120px;  	width: 100%;  	background-color: #3366CC;  	background-repeat: no-repeat;  	background-position: left top;  	display: block;  	top: 0px;  	position: absolute;  	z-index: 9;  	left: 0px;  }  body {  	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;  	font-size: 12px;  	color: #000000;  	margin: 0px;  	padding: 0px;  }  
#leftnavdiv {  	position:absolute;  	left:0px;  	top:146px;  	width:237px;  	z-index:2;  	font-size: 11px;  }  #contentdiv {  	position:absolute;   	left:250px;   	top:146px;   	z-index:1  }  
#leftnavinnerdiv {  	width: 210px;  	margin-top: 0px;  	margin-bottom: 0px;  	margin-left: 10px;  	padding-bottom: 30px;  	padding-top: 0px;  }
#leftnavouterdiv {
	background-color: #EEF3F9;
	background-image: url(images/bg.newsbottom.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: right bottom;
}
#searchdiv {
	background-color: #EEF3F9;
	width: 234px;
	margin-top: 15px;
	margin-bottom: 15px;
}
#innersearchdiv {
	margin: 0px 15px;
	padding-top: 15px;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
}
#topnavdiv {
	position:absolute;
	left:0px;
	top:120px;
	width:100%;
	z-index:3;
	background-color: #3366CC;
	border-top-width: 1px;
	border-right-width: 0px;
	border-bottom-width: 1px;
	border-left-width: 0px;
	border-top-color: #f8c015;
	border-bottom-color: #f8c015;

	border-top-style: solid;
	border-right-style: solid;
	border-bottom-style: solid;
	border-left-style: solid;
	height: 24px;
}

How do I make "content"
<div class="content">
to go all the way to the right side of the "profile"?
Code:

<style type="text/css">

#container { width: 800px;
  background-color:#666;
  padding: 20px;
}


#profiles_container {
 background-color:#33CC66;
}

#profiles_container .profile { background-color:#CCFFFF;
  margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
  padding: 10px;
}

#profiles_container .profile .foto {  background-color:#CCCC33;
 float: left;
 width: 200px;
 padding: 10px;
}


#profiles_container .profile .content {  background-color:#FF0000;
  float: left;
  margin-left: 10px;
  padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

#profiles_container .profile .content .col1 { background-color:#CCFFCC;
 float: left;

}

#profiles_container .profile .content .col2 {
 float: left;

}


#profiles_container .profile .btm{
 background-color:#999999;
}

.clear {clear:both;}

</style>



</head><body>

<div id="container">

            
<div id="profiles_container">	



	<div class="profile">
    	<div class="foto"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" alt="Photo_1" border="0" align="top" />
        </div><!-- END foto -->
        
    	<div class="content">
    		<div class="col1"><p>COLUMN_1</p></div><!-- END col1 -->
    		<div class="col2"><p>COLUMN_2</p></div><!-- END col2 -->

If you look closely in Firefox, the content holder (left and right) is one pixel too small - it's meant to be the same size as the header. I don't see why this is happening, as it looks fine in IE.

I could use some help.

Hi all - ive discovered a css problem when using 100% width areas on a website. take the following site for example..

offmymakeupbox.com

if you open a browser that is not maximized there is a scrollbar that allows you to scroll to the right, but if you scroll to the right you can see that the footer has been cut off.

ie. it is the width of the resized browser and not 100% width of the actual template.

is there a way to fix this?
thanks

hi,

wonder if someone can help me. I'm trying to create a css layout for a site, which has a header then two vertical columns (pretty standard). i want the first column to be a set size and the second content column to be variable to use up the rest of the page space. i can get the first column and header to work fine but not the second content column. any help would be good. here my code:


Code:

#header {
	margin: 20px 20px 0px 20px;
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #666;
	background: #ccc;
	height: 100px; /* ie5win fudge begins */
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family:inherit;
	height: 70px;
	}

html>body #header {
	height: 70px; /* ie5win fudge ends */
	}

#menu_v {
	position: absolute;
	top: 120px;
	left: 0px;
	margin: 20px;
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #666;
	background: #ccc;
	width: 150px; /* ie5win fudge begins */
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family:inherit;
	width: 120px;
	}

html>body #menu_v {
	width: 120px; /* ie5win fudge ends */
	}

#content {
	position: absolute;
	top: 120px;
	right: 0px; /* Opera5.02 will show a space at right when there is no scroll bar */
	margin: 20px 20px 20px 190px;
	padding: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #666;
	background: #ccc;
             }
	

When i view rockitdesign.co.uk/portfolio in IE6, one of the columns seems too wide so the right one is getting squeezed underneath. This seems to happen on many of the sites i do so must be the same thing causing it? Any ideas? Thanks.

me again,

i fixed my last problem just to run into another
i messed a little with my code, so that i have 2 elements on the page 'fixed' (in FF and IE) and the main body part is scrollable.
the complete site is here

i cannot seem to set a minimum width for the browser window. try to resize the window and you will see, that the main bodywindow will maintain at least 500px width in Firefox (not in IE < thats prob no.1) -- but also does the main body window slip underneath the navigation to the left. i tried to change the z-value, but even if i give them both the same z-value it slips underneath it.

it would be great, if someone could help me with this problem, i know i have to correct it somewhere in the css, but cannot find it

EDIT
solved problem....

okay, so i just positioned (absolute) the bodybox element a fix amount away from the left border of the screen -- before it was 10% away from the right border of the screen .... it doesn't seem that liquid anymore, but i can live with it .... now i just need to convince IE to maintain a minimum width .... which topic has been discussed before

EDIT2
i added the line
Code:

width: expression(document.body.clientWidth < 781 ? "780px" : "100%" ); 

to my fixed4ie.css file ....

this messes on my old IBM ('95) around a little and i am not sure if you can see the graphic delay on newer computers.
this is the only thing that worked for me so far .... interesting enough there are no more scrollbars, once i go under that certain width ....

if - by now - someone has an idea how to fix this, i would appreciate other solutions to this problem

Hi All,

I have CSS-sheet=

.thumbs {
border: 2px solid #524b2f;
position: static;
height: 80px;
width: auto;
}
body {
background-color: #f5f0ec;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
scrollbar-face-color : #f5f0ec;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #aca899;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #f5f0ec;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #aca899;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color :#f5f0ec;
scrollbar-track-color : #f5f0ec;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #524b2f;

}

The thumbs part resizes some pictures to a fixed height of =80px and calculates the width so everyting is resized correctly.

But IE6 gives problems with the width=auto , some times it's sets the widt correctly other times it doesn't. In other brouwsers its fine.

Any suggestions on fixing this in IE6?

reffering to the dark blue box with the form contained in it:

With the width set to default, or width:auto, it stretches to fit the parent.

If I specify a width, the box will not stretch to hold the content within it. I've also played with min-width/max-width to no avail.

I'm sure im just missing/forgetting a property.

Here is the code for the box:
Code:

#generalBox{
    width: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
    border: 1px solid #525c69;
    background-color: #212a34;
    text-align: center;
}

As simple as the problem sounds, Im completely puzzled by what could be going wrong.

The problem is if I set the width of my div too 100%, it wont show up in Firefox. It works fine if I define it in pixels, but I want it to just stretch. Using a % works fine in IE.

Here is the code:

Code:

  #left {
    width:100%;
    height:598px;
    padding:0;
    background: #EEF;
    display: table-cell;
    background: url("bg.gif") top left repeat-x;
    }

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and would appreciate any help...

I've never used fieldsets before, until now, and check out:
http://www.koofers.com/contact.php

A horizontal bar shows up in IE... and the globe in the top right of the screen goes off the monitor! And in FireFox, if I add bullet points to the content, the text actually goes outside of the fieldset.

I know now the more I read that fieldsets are pretty much just for forms and such, but I really like the cool effect they give! And yes, I know... I shouldn't be using tables for my design, I should be doing crazy sweet things in CSS, but I'm still learning and don't have the time to totally re-design it in CSS (even if I could get it working!)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have the following css:

Code:

#container { background: url(../images/page.gif) repeat-y center;
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#banner {background:url(../images/banner.gif) no-repeat center;
height:108px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
#menu {background:url(../images/menu.gif) no-repeat  top center;
height:124px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
#content {
	margin-left: 240px;
	font-family:'Helv', Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;
	font-size:14px;
	letter-spacing:1px;
	color:#000;
	text-align:justify;
	width:580px;
	position:relative;
}
#footer {background:url(../images/pgfooter.gif) bottom center no-repeat;

height:46px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}

all background are fixed width for 1024x768

and i have the following html
<div id="container">
<div id="banner"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="content"> All text goes here </div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>

now the problem is that if i set the #container width to let say 1000px; it works fine (only resizeing the browser instantly ihave the horizontal scroller). So i want to set thethe container width to 100%. As soon as i set that and resize the browser the page flows well But the text in the #content div remains static and doesn't move along with the bkgrounds, thus flowing "out" of the text area.
