CSS - Box Size Problem With Nested <div> Tags
I have set up a couple vertical boxes and filled them with 'column' boxes all nested within the parent vertical boxes.
My problem is when, say, box #3 from the left has more content than the furthest left box, instead of stretching the parent to accommodate the content and push down the other parent horizontal box below, the content just flows behind the lower horizontal box. If the content in the furthest left box is the longest, this problem doesnt occur. The parent box is stretched to fit.

#content p { font-size: 24px; }
.smalltext p { font-size: 12px; }
Then, I create a #content div in my HTML with three paragraphs in it. I want the middle paragraph to have the .smalltext class, like this: http://www.toprival.com/temp/css_question.gif With the CSS the way I have it, the font size (12px) of the .smalltext paragraph is ignored. But if I change the CSS so both selectors are IDs, or so both are classes (and update the HTML accordintly), it works. Why is that? Can anyone tell me how to remove the left indent for nested ul tags in IE? Hi, I'm trying to build a modal box tool. Yes I know downloadable solutions exist, but wisely or not I'm building from scratch. And the javascript is fine, but on the CSS I feel I'm not quite doing it right. The HTML structure is pretty straightforward: PHP Code: <div id="PopUpBox" class="SinglePopUpBox" style="display:none"> <div class="TopBar"> <div class="CloseX"><a href="javascript:closePopUp()"><img src="Images/WindowCloseX.PNG" /></a></div> <div id="PopUpBoxTitle" class="Title"></div> </div> <div id="PopUpContainer" class="Container"><b style="color:#FFFF00">...Connectiing...</b></div> </div> and I just stick that on any underlying page with a button to make it appear. Ajax connects and injects the chosen content into PopUpContainer. Here's the issue. PopUpBox I want to be a percentage of the screen, to work on any size window. It appears in the middle via percentages. TopBar within that is a fixed height. And then PopUpContainer should fill the rest of the PopUpBox. So I set height=100% on PopUpContainer. But then it overflows the box by exactly the height of TopBar. At first I thought "hey, this sounds like a job for clearfloat" but that doesn't work. And it shouldn't, because floats aren't the issue. The problem I believe is going to 100% of a variable size. % of (% - x) to be more precise. So I "fix" this by giving PopUpBox enough padding-bottom to match the size of TopBar. This immediately feels bad, and I don't even know why. But it looks good, so I was prepared to shut up and accept it. However, IE7 (and probably 6, if I wanted to try it) don't play along. (Ditto IE8 in compatability mode, naturally.) They don't seem to respect that height=100% at all, and will make the Container shrink or bust out depending on what's inside. So what's the right approach to doing this? I'm quite willing to make moderate changes to my approach, but less happy to do stuff like add 12 pages of javascript to resize the box. CSS: PHP Code: div.SinglePopUpBox { color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; background-color: #000000; position:fixed; z-index: 100; left: 15%; top: 15%; right: 15%; bottom: 15%; padding:0px; padding-bottom:31px; /* Made to match height of TopBar + Container margin + Container Border + this border */ } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar { background-color:#000000; background-image: url(Images/TopBar-Black.PNG); width:100%; height:26px; vertical-align:bottom; } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar div.CloseX { float:right; margin-right:5px; } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar div.Title { font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; padding-top:5px; padding-left:10px } div.SinglePopUpBox div.Container { background-image: url(Images/BackgroundBlue.JPG); overflow:auto; height:100%; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px; margin-left:3px; margin-right:3px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; } html: Code:

Hope the above scripts can be viewed easily. I just started using css, and for some reason I can't get this simple template to function in Mozilla Firefox. I don't know how nested divs behave, but it's really frustrating. The problem is that i have two main divs within one encompassing div. The encompassing div is supposed to expand in height based upon the height and/or position of the nested two divs, but it only expands based one of these nested divs. These nested divs have divs inside them too. This only happened in mozilla firefox. In IE it works. I'm not using floats or anything. I don't have it up on a site, but if necessary I'll post a pic of the rendering. Thanks in advance. I am Having a problem with IE6 and DIV's which use blocks to highlight links. The problem is I want to have different colour links. It seems to work OK in FF but not IE 6. Code:
.mainmenu a:link { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:visited { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:active { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:hover { color: #ac4545; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #f7d4d4; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; display: block; }

.menutop { color: white; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; background-color: #cc5252; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; display: block; width: 180px; height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; }

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I've been searching the web on how to fix this but haven't got anything yet. In IE, my nested div (class="BioContent") stays within the parent container (id="BioBox"), but does not in FF. Right now I am using width: 100%; I've tried defining the width in pixels, but if I get it to work in FF, then it isn't wide enough in IE. Any ideas?

i have nested tables but table inside is inheriting properties from table outside. i have written classes for both tables in css and i dnt want inside table to inherit. what can i do? Hi, I've a problem designing with CSS. This is the html code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="structure-yellow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="main"> <div id="headimage">test</div> <div id="greybar">test</div> </div> </center> </body> </html> And the attached css file is: Code:
div#main {
border: solid #000000 1px;
padding: 3px;
width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
#headimage {
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100px;
background: #FFFF00;
}
#greybar {
position: relative;
top: 3px;
background: #CCCCCC;
}
Since the headimage and the greybar are nested within the main div, the 3px padding of the "main" div should be respected, however it's not. What I think is happenning is that the 3px padding of the main div is respected for the expected greybar position, and it is not updated after setting the "#greybar" position property on the CSS file. How can I solve this problem? I know that I could achieve the same effect adding a 3px white bottom border on the "#headimage" class, but I'm looking for more elegant solution based on block positioning. Any ideas? Thanks, Caste So does anyone use div tags only and no tables at all? Not even for tabular data? Okay, I have a page on which I want a banner div with a links div underneath it, a left menu bar div, and a content div. I've put them all in a container div. However, on some pages the menu bar is longer than the content and on others the content is longer than the menu bar. I want the menu bar and the content bar to always be equal heights but adjust to the length of content. Here's the gist of the code: Code:
#container {
text-align: left;
background:#000064;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 650;
height:100%;
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
}
#banner {
background: #fff;
width: 650;
}
#piclinks {
background: rgb(00,00,64);
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 650;
}
#links {
position: absolute;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-right: 1px dotted #fff;
width: 140px;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
color: #fff;
font-size: 8pt;
background: rgb(00,00,64);
}
#content {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 500;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
color: #fff;
padding: 5px;
}
I've looked at a few resources, including the 'PIE' site, but haven't been able to quite figure it out. Thanks I'm having a problem with a float property placing a nested div outside of a parent box. I've ran validation on both the XHTML/CSS. Both are coming up with no errors. Heres the DIV snippet: Code: <!-- Div snippet -->
<!-- start main -->
<div id="main">
<div class="mainbx">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<!-- content area -->
<div id="leftcol">
<pThis column ( leftcol ID ) is correctly placed.</p>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
<!-- Rounded corner dialog begins -->
<div class="dialog">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<div class="c">
<div class="s">
<!-- content area -->
<h1>This is an inline dialog.</h1>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div>
</div>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div> <!-- end mainbx -->
<div id="footer">footer text</div>
</div> <!-- end main -->
If I place a float property in the left or right col ID, the whole ID is placed outside of the mainbx class. For instance: Code: /* example w float */
#rightcol {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 35px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how it looks: http://b.imagehost.org/0176/inc_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! Now if I remove the float and add a position property: Code: #rightcol {
position:relative;
right:-320px;
top:-190px;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how the rightcol is placed: http://d.imagehost.org/0643/cor_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! It seems better, but if the black box is re-sized eventually it will end up outside mainbx class ( the purple box ). This leads me to belive that the problem has something to do with nesting. The weird thing is if I add lots of text to the black dialog box, mainbx re-sizes. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks for any help or ideas. My website (OPM) uses css for all the layout. Sometimes, when I load a new page within the website, the entire webpage appears nested within one of the layers. When I reload the page, this effect disappears right away or after a few reloads. It appears about 10% of the time and occurs in several different browsers (i.e. Firefox, IE). Nested webpage error URL Normal page URL I don't know why this is happening, especially since it's only part of time. Please help! Thank you, Misha Hi I've got a bit of a problem. I am making a website and what I want to do is create links with block background showing an image, which changes to just pink on a mouse over. what I did was make a div, give it classname menu_items and in that div put different hyperlinks. my code: Code: /* Menu picture caption */
.menu_items a { display: block; color: #FFF; background-color: #FF0066; text-decoration: none; padding: 5px; position: absolute; }
#menu_0910_dg000 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg000.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 0px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg000:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg601 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg601.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 150px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg601:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg200 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg200.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 300px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg200:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_elderly { background-image: url('img/0910_elderly.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 440px; top: 0px; left: 0px; font-size: 18pt; }
#menu_0910_elderly:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_demos { background-image: url('img/0910_demos.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 890px; top: 200px; left: 0px; font-size: 20pt; }
#menu_0910_demos:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
Code: <div class="menu_items"> <a id="menu_0910_dg000" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG000 Introducing Competency-Centred Learning </a> <a id="menu_0910_dg601" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG601 Digital Video</a> <a id="menu_0910_dg200" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG200 Creative Programming for Designers</a> <a id="menu_0910_elderly" href="0910_elderly.html">Project: Elderly Interacting with the Digi-world</a> <a id="menu_0910_demos" href="0910_elderly.html">External: Demos Bar Committee</a> </div> You can see that I first used the nested selector .menu_items a, but this doesn't work with hover, so .menu_items a:hover doesn't work. Why not and how to fix?:S gr Bram if you go he http://www.tvshow-caps.co.uk/showPics.php?showid=24&season=6&episode=1 you will see that the nested list do not expand but OVERLAP in IE. firefox displays is ok. EDIT1: i have fixed the nested list problem (i was using height property which IE doesnt like) second problem: now IE doesnt apply the border-bottom property properly (use the above link) Hello all. I've got a layout with three columns. The first column contains the navigation and the second two are variable content. All the columns can be any length, and consist of any number of divs; each div is a bordered block of variable-sized content. The problem is if I want to float an image around some text in the second or third column. Since the image is floating, its container doesn't extend fully, and the image overlaps the border and the block below it. However, if I put a "clear: both" spacer within the block, then the container clears elements in the left or right columns, and extends way too far down! What I really need is a way to just clear a single level of nesting, but "clear" seems to be pretty much all or nothing. I've also tried the pseudoclass :after trick to extend the box, but that didn't appear to do any good. It just added the content inside the border of each block, but doesn't enclose the image at all. I hope somebody has suggestions - I actually haven't found anything about this problem, but perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong terms. It seems like a fairly fundamental thing to do... Thanks! Why does GOOD VERSION, below, work perfectly, but the BAD VERSION fails (all browsers)? The only difference is the order of TOPIMAGE and BOTTOMIMAGE in the 2nd IMAGEBUTTON. How can I adjust my CSS so both versions work? GOOD VERSION Code: <style>
a.IMAGEBUTTON img.TOPIMAGE { z-index:1; position:absolute; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON:hover img.TOPIMAGE { filter:alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity:0.0; -khtml-opacity: 0.0; opacity: 0.0; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON img {width:150px; }
</style>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />
</a>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />
</a>
BAD VERSION Code: <style>
a.IMAGEBUTTON img.TOPIMAGE { z-index:1; position:absolute; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON:hover img.TOPIMAGE { filter:alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity:0.0; -khtml-opacity: 0.0; opacity: 0.0; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON img {width:150px; }
</style>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />
</a>
<a class="IMAGEBUTTON" href="http://google.com" >
<img class="BOTTOMIMAGE" src="pics\pic1.png" />
<img class="TOPIMAGE" src="pics\pic2.jpg" />
</a>
THANKS Hi, I've done an English site which works but now I'm doing the language versions..in particular, Arabic, which is read from right-to-left (direction: rtl) http://www.ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/dindex.html On IE, the page looks fine. On Firefox, however, the <UL> tags (see light blue and normal blue text in middle of page) are being aligned to the right, overlapping the <div id="main"> which is supposed to contain it. Code: #main {
width: 590px;
padding-top: 115px;
padding-left: 4px;
padding-right: 5px;
background: url(../../../images/0_logo.gif) no-repeat;
float: left;
margin: 0px 3px 0px 0px;
}
I do want everything aligned to the right, since Arabic is apparently read that way, but I need the effect as shown on IE. Any ideas how to make this work? Also, if anyone has any recommendations on what I could do to fix the W3C validation errors , please let me know. Thanks very much in advance! Here is the page: http://www.usdphidelts.com/alumni/map.php There are <div> box's that need to be placed next to each other, one contains the map, the other contains the information about the icon click on the map. It looks like with my current CSS, the two <div>'s names map and alumni are being placed on top of one another. Any idea how I can get them to layout next to each other? Thanks! |
