CSS - Equal Column Heights?
Hi!
I'm playing around with style sheets, mainly because I have a tabular layout at the moment and everyone keeps telling me how evil tables are, so i tought being as i haunt devshed, i should use the advice and before my site gets too big, change it! Finding it quite difficult to start with, but making good progress! And I have the following so far... PHP Code: h1 {font-size: 1.4em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h2 {font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h3 {font-size: 1.2em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h4 {font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} h5 {font-size: 1em; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;} a:link {color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;} a:hover {color: #dedbcb; text-decoration: underline;} a:visited { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none;} body {margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: .7em; line-height: 1.4em} div#header {padding: 2%; text-align: center; background-color: #0e2e3b; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 2px; border-bottom: solid #ffffff 1px} div#footer {padding: 2%; text-align: center; clear: both; background-color: #0e2e3b; border-top: solid #ffffff 1px} div#maincontent {padding: 2%; text-align: justify; margin-left: 150px; background-color: #0e2e3b; color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 2px; border-right: solid #ffffff 1px; border-left: solid #ffffff 1px} div#leftcolumn {padding: 2%; float: left; text-align: right; background-color: #0e2e3b; color: #ffffff; width: 150px;} div#rightcolumn {padding: 2%; float: right; text-align: right; background-color: #0e2e3b; color: #ffffff; width: 10px;} My question is, the rightcolumn is really just for layout, its not going to contain anything. What I need is the right column to equal the height of the left column all the time, so the layout looks right. Could someone point me in the correct direction? Charlie Similar TutorialsOk, heres what is driving me nuts: Pretty typical 2 column layout, header, footer, etc. Although here's the glitch...I'm using css and js to round the corners on most of my divs, so while the js approach works it successfully destroys my rounded corners, this is also why the fauz column hack won't work either. I have an rss feed in my #sidebar div which being dynamic adjusts the div height to fit the content, great! my main content area (in this case 2 divs in a container) is fairly static content set at 800px. Now I can adjust the height of the rss feed however it also successfully breaks my corners (basically the rounded corners stay some where around 750px but the div does expand to 800px with a squared bottom) Is there anyway to either set the height of my #sidebar or is it possible to have my main content area always expand to the #footer? Geez or anything to solve this problem. Here's my CSS: Code: div#container{width:100%;margin: 0 auto;background-color: #000000; overflow:hidden;text-align: center}
div#header{width:98%;background-color: #000000;padding:0px 0;text-align:center;margin: 0px 0px 0 10px}
#site {width: 100%;margin: 1px 0px 0 10px}
#sidebar {float: left;width: 24%;background-color: #FFFFCC;border-right: 1px solid #000000;text-align:left; overflow:hidden}
#content {float: left;width: 74%;background-color: #FFFFFF}

#leftcontent {float: left;width:46%;background:#fff;text-align:left; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 12px}
#rightcontent {float: right;width:46%;background:#fff;text-align:left;padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 12px}
#leftcontent h1, #rightcontent h1 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #FF0000;font-size: 14px;font-weight: bold; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;line-height: 0pt}
/* begin styles for RSS Feed

Dave Hi, I need some expertise in trying to get equal length columns on a site. I'm completely revamping a site and having trouble with a two column layout. The right column just stops halfway down the page. What am I doing wrong. The CSS is body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; } p { padding: 10px; } ul { list-style-type: disc; display: list-item; } li { } h1 { padding: 10px; text-align: right; font-size: 20px; } h3 { font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; } ,clear { clear: both; display: block; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #wrapper { margin: 0 auto; float:left; width: 100%; } #topadsense { float:left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #bookmarking { float:left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #printerfriendly { float:right; padding 10px 10px 10px 10px; } #content { float: left; color: #333; background: #FFFFFF; width: 50%; display: inline; } #pagecontent { float: left; color: #333; background: #FFFFFF; width: 75%; display: inline; } #header { color: #333; width: 100%; float: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; height: 250px; background: #FFFFFF; } #pageheader { color: #333; width: 100%; float: left; height: 75px; background: #FFFFFF; } #footer { clear: both; width: 100%; position: relative; text-align: center; color: #000; background: #FFFFFF; } #footerbreak { width: 100%; height: 25px; clear: both; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; color: #FFF; background: #000000; } #supportfooter { float:left; } #navigation { float: left; width: 100%; height: 25px; color: #333; background: #CC0033; } #leftcolumn { color: #333; background: #EBE3CD; width: 25%; float: left; } #rightcolumn { color: #333; background: #EBE3CD; width: 25%; float: left; display: inline; } #footerleft { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #footerright { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #footermiddle { color: #000; background: #FFF; width: 33%; float: left; margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto; } #redcolor { color:#CC0033; text-align: center; font-weight:bold; } #topheader { margin-left:auto; margin-right: 0px; } and the page has this setup: <HTML> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>PC Hell: How to Start Windows in Safe Mode</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/common/style.css" /></head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="pageheader"> <h1>How to Start Windows in Safe Mode</h1> </div> <div id="navigation"> </div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="pagecontent"> <div id="topadsense"> <!--#include virtual="/adsense336.txt" --> </div> <div id="bookmarking"> <!--#include virtual="/bookmarks.txt" --> </div> <div id="printerfriendly"> <A href="/print/printpage.php"><b>Printer Friendly Version </b><img src="/images/printicon.gif"></A> </div> Main body of content is placed here <div id="supportfooter"> <!--#include virtual="/support/supportfooter.txt" --> </div> </div> <div id="rightcolumn"> <p><!--#include virtual="/adsense.txt" --> </p> <br /> <br /> <p align="center"><!--#include virtual="/searchtables2.txt" --> </p> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="footerbreak"><strong>Recommended Software for PC Hell Visitors</strong> </div> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="/indexfooter2.txt" --></div> </div> </body></html> Any help is appreciated. I have a wrapper div that should do the trick, but its not working. Thanks, Mark Ok i made a design for a website in photoshop .. sliced it up into divs put it in dream weaver and i edited to css for the divs there... I'm having a problem with all the columns with background images to stretch to the end of the page dynamically according to the hight of the highest column.. For example if i add more content to the content section of the site i have to go in and change the hight of every repeatable background image that extends to the bottom of the page.... as you may know this sucks and i really want to figure out how to get the site the way it should be so its easily editable. .. I know quite a bit of the problem is the fixed positioning that's being used but the website is not a perfectly square site so some exception need to be made.. i tried to make a website that was way above my lvl to make but i made it.. its just has some bugs i need to figure out.. To get the problem to occur all one has to do is make the text bigger using the browser and watch the background image not extend to the end of the site.. which is all i need to happen ... so if i add or subtract content the site auto adjusts to the size.. really need some help on this.. thanks.. I've got a site I've started to work on: domosworld.net I want it setup so the three middle columns are equal width? I set right/left borders on the middle content, but am worried that perhaps the right side will be longer than the middle which will cause the layout not to look right. What is the best way to achieve the equal columns? Hi I need these 3 columns http://dmumford.bizhat.com/equalheights.htm to be of equal height regardless of what column has the most text in. Could somone please help me with this, I have looked at Paul OB's 2 col example but I am at a puzzle how to do it with my requirements!! Your help is much appreciated! I'm working on a very simple layout for a site right now, where there are two repeated images on either side of the content in div's, and obviously everything else in between. The problems I'm having a - getting the image div's to extend to the end of the page no matter what the height (currently they only fill the browser when the page is loaded, if the page goes further the images do not repeat) - getting the content div to take up all available space, so the footer div will always be at the bottom of the page, even if it is not vertically scrollable.

I don't have it hosted anywhere right now but I think it's a relatively simple problem. I did search around for solutions for a while, but I couldn't find a fix. Yes, I am new to CSS / website design / not using tables to do things Hey, I was wondering how you set the height of a div so that the div will cover the full height of the page. currently i have: .navigationDiv{ position: absolute; width: 19%; height: 100%; } This fills the whole visible part of the document as it was loaded but once you start scrolling down its not filled anymore. how to fix this? thanks in advance? HI, I have the following tables: PHP Code: <table class="middle" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tr> <td style="height: 1px;"> <img border="0" src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="customHeading">aaaa</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="right"> <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" valign="top"> <form action="aaa.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(this);"> <table class="content" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td align="left">aaa:</td> <td><input type="text" name="issueNumber" size="22" class="formField"> </td> <td><a href="#"> <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" class="formButton" onmouseover="this.className='formButtonHover';" onmouseout="this.className='formButton';" > </a> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </td> </tr> </table> They use the following CSS classes: PHP Code: .middle { width: 760px; height: 360px; background-color: #FFFFFF; } .content { background-color: #FFFFFF; font: 13px Arial, sans-serif; padding: 2px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } My issues is this. In IE the row of the first table (where the hrefs are) expands to a seemingly arbitrary height, beyond the size of the text contained within it. In Netscape the row is only as high as the text contained within it. I want it to act the same in IE as it does in Netscape. Never thought I'd say that.. =) Any ideas? Well I've run into a few more snags and after all of my atempts to learn this **** on my own I failed and need help... keep this in mind... My only table named capsule is defined like so: index.php Code: <body> <table class="capsule"> default.php Code:
.capsule
{
border-collapse:seperate;
border-spacing:0;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
bottom:0;
right:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
My "biggest" concern I'm trying to make a site that is at least supported on all resolutions supported by my monitor, 800x600 to 1600x1200. I also plan to include 640x480 but my monitor doesn't go that low so I'm hoping it looks nice, as if anything could look nice at 640x480, when the other resolutions are tested. I found a few solutions to this but unfortunatly none of them worked for strict xhtml. Most of them used the tagline height attribute and tagline margin attributes. I substituted the tagline html for CSS like this: Code:
body
{
margin:0;
}
This didn't work, you might have guessed that... I know with an object and static sizes, like something defined in px, can use the overflow scroll property. But that's static sizes and limited in resizing features. Here is the code I got my ideas from: [code] <BODY leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" link="#000000" alink="#CDCDCD" vlink="000000"> <TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%"> [code] I looked for an alternate to margin-height and margin-width with no luck. Another "issue" spacing in cells. I hate IE, yet another problem that is ONLY visible in IE, not opera no mozilla, firefox, galleon, konquor. Wha thappens is, gayness spacing. I have the following CSS and this worked in every browser but IE 6.0. Unfortunately, since MS is a big part of the computer world, I can't just NOT support it. See .capsule above. According to w3schools this should work from IE5+. One more "thing" ...a little off topic, just a lil' I always thought that Opera used the IE engine but Opera, IMO is better than IE. It just, works. All this for well you know...ugly sites suck... Any responses to any of these topics or to further expand on the are more than welcome!!! PS When I came to this site it said 404 NOT FOUND. I tried again it worked. I then tried NEW THREAD and again the same thing. I tried again and it worked. I said "F* this ****" cleared cache etc and tried again. Still the same problem. Any new place I vist from this visit on, I think, is going to be a pain, all of my old bookmarks will have to be updated somehow...I don't know what this is. Any button I hit, preview post, ad links, save changes, submit thread, etc.. all do the same thing. Some admin might be interested in this... Once I do it once it doesn't happen for that action anymore. Hi, I'm new to the forum and very new to CSS, so please excuse my ignorance or any stupid fundamental mistakes I have made. I have almost got what I need to work, but my wrapper and the leftshade and rightshade div heights will not work with the height of the page. If I set them to a preset pixel height, they're fine, but when I set them to auto they disappear. I need them to be able to scroll to whatever the length of my content is going to be. I could really use some advice on how to sort this. Many thanks in advance. Code:

Hi.. another question for the CSS mastas out there. I have a table taht I have applied a class to: PHP Code: <table class="middle" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td> <img border="0" src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"> </td> <td align="left"> <p class="customHeading">aaaa</p> </td> <td> <p align="right"> <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> | <a class="importantLink" href="">aaa</a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" valign="top"> <table class="content" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td align="left">aaa:</td> <td><input type="text" name="aaa" size="22" class="formField"> </td> <td><a href="#"> <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" class="formButton"> </a> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> .middle { width: 760px; height: 360px; background-color: #FFFFFF; } .content { background-color: #FFFFFF; font: 13px Arial, sans-serif; padding: 2px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to control the height of the outside tables first row. It seems to just take on a size depending on how I set the height in the element. Can I not place a height tag in the <td>'s for that row to set it at a fixed height? Hi, I have this border on the right hand side of my table and i was wondering, how do i reduce its height as i don't want it going right from the top to the bottom? border-top: 1px solid #6593B8; any help is appriciated, Thanks Hi, I have a dotted border that seperates my navigation bar from my content area. My question is since I had to remove a set height from my CSS IDs how to I get the border to extend all the way from the top blue bar all the way to my footer? It looks okay on the main page because it uses up all of the space but when you go to a page where the content does not take up the same height as the nav area the border does not extend all the way down. The border is currently set as border-right for the main content. If i set it to border-left for the nav bar it will display correctly on the shorter pages but only cover the nav bar for my longer pages. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Its the last one! My site is located he http://www.venturingvortex.org the css is located he http://www.venturingvortex.org/Style/Master.css See: http://www.mandgweb.net/css_help/ I am trying to get the 'divs' of the 3 columns of content (A, B, C) to expand to the height of the tallest column (in this case 'A') while the height of the main container (blue border) expands/contracts as necessary to accommodate the tallest column. The main effect I am trying to achieve it to get the vertical rules between the columns to be the same height (i.e. the height of the tallest column). Easier said then done..? Thanks in advance. Hello, I have been writing a web page as a project for a course using XHTML. I have tested it with several browsers, including IE, Netscape, and Opera and validated its source code and CSS Style sheet. The site works at 1024 X 768 resolution. My problem is that if I minimize the window or change the screen resolution size every div element gets switched around and the display is destroyed. The page is currently located at http://student.flvs.net/html/millety/mod8/index2.htm . Please tell me how to fix this. The links on the page do not work as they should, so only look at the oage I have linked to. I would like the color behing the navigation to run in a vertical band all the way to the bottom of the page. The footer is supposed to be all the way at the bottom and the main text's background color should not appear under it, which is part of my current problem. Thank you in advance for your help. Greetings Not sure about the best way to go about this. I have an Unordered List that has a set height for the List Items. Like so: Code:
#left ul {
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
#left ul li {
text-align: center;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
height: 200px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
This works fine for most of the pages, but there is one where I really need the height of the <li>'s to be 350px. I tried just adding a class like Code:
.comics {
height: 350px;
}
I tried adding this to the <li> Code:
<li class="comics"><a href="#"><img src="images/comics/thumbnails/HeldvsHeldin3_sm.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350">
</a></li>
and also just a <span> Code:
<li><span class="comics"><a href="#"><img src="images/comics/thumbnails/HeldvsHeldin3_sm.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350">

but it still kept the 200px height. Do I need to make a whole new <li> code or am I missing something? IE seems to have a lot of trouble with percentage based heights. In certain circumstances they seem to be okay, other times they seem be completely ignored. Pixel based DIV heights seem to work, but I don't know if it is just the circumstance or what not. Does anyone know what the actual "rules" are about this as it applies to IE? Hello, I'm relatively new to using CSS as the foundation of a site, as i've only ever built sites for family/work etc using tables. I have used it previously for styling and so on, but not as intensively as i now am. It's great, but a couple of issues are giving me a headache - the fun of web design, hey?... I'm experiencing two problems, and have spent a lot of time describing them (with examples and images) on the following page - fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm - not wanting to clutter up the forum with my explanations and too many images. The first is to do with the 100% height trick - my "wrapper" div is not expanding with my "content" div - but i do not believe faux columns are possible for my design (if someone proves me wrong, great!) as i don't have two full height columns, but one content column and a vertical menu div... The second issues is with a Horizontal menu i am using as main navigation. In both FireFox & Chrome, the menu shifts down so the text links are unreadable unless hovered over. In IE, it's positioned as i want (with Comp View Settings turned on for IE8). So, if anyone could shed come light on my problems, i'd love to hear some ideas. The full explanation, complete with working examples and images (as well as my code) can be seen at fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm. Thanks in advance, Azerus85 Hello everyone, Ive been trying to reconstruct a web design from a photoshop design and it has bars going down the side of a center container where the content is, the problem im having is when the text and such in the content 'rule' goes over one line, prior to what i thought would happen, only the content 'rule' scales to the amount of text and the container rule does nothing. Is there a way to make the container scale with the content and have the bars scale with the container...? Heres the css and the html Code:
#container
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
top: 0;
width: 875px;
margin-top: -8px;
padding: 0;
overflow: visible;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
#secondbar
{
margin-left: 102px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
background: #4D220F;
}
#bar
{
margin-left: 6px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 96px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
/*[empty]height:;*/
background: #E3C98E;
}
#thirdbar
{
margin-left: 123px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 21px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
background: #7F8FA6;
}
#content
{
margin-left: 154px;
margin-right: auto;
top: 0;
width: 709px;
position: absolute;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
Code: <head> <title>Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "styles.css"> </head> <body bgcolor="f4f1ea"> <div id="container"><div id="bar"> </div><div id="secondbar"> </div><div id="thirdbar"> </div> <div id="content"> </div></div> </body> Thanks for any help, sorry if its a bit confusing Xidus |
