CSS - Css Sidebar Issue
Hello, this is my first time posting here.
I am having a problem with a CSS sidebar. You can view the page at this URL: http://approg.msu.edu/david/ccsac/index2.htm. For the life of me, I cannot get the sidebar to automatically extend to the length of the page. Obviously, it's not much of an issue at the URL I listed, but it makes a bigger difference when there is a lot of content on the page. I'm sure the solution is simple, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks. Similar TutorialsI'm having a problem with a wordpress theme I'm creating for a site. I'm basically laying out the structure at this point before I start to really style it as I wanted to code everything from scratch (as sort of a hobby/learning experience) and I've wanted to implement things like custom taxonomies and custom post types. Anyway I've got most of the structure (except the navigation) up and working. My single problem right now is that the sidebar is pushed down to the bottom of the page on Firefox on both mac and windows. Every other browser displays it fine, even IE6 (although that one has my footer pushed up below the sidebar instead of at the bottom of the page, but I'll go back and worry about all the IE bugs later). One thing I noticed while trying to diagnose this using the various browser developer tools available is that FireBug shows the sidebar as being in between some <section> tags (I'm using html5) and the other browsers show it being below the <section>, if you think of the section as the container div I think it'll give you a better idea of what I mean. This is the css, it seems to validate ok: Code: /* == Reset == */ html, body, div, span, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, abbr, address, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, samp, small, strong, sub, sup, var, b, i, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, canvas, details, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section, summary, time, mark, audio, video { margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0; font-size:100%; vertical-align:baseline; background:transparent; } article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section { display:block; } /* == BASICS == */ body { margin: 0 auto; width: 960px; } section { overflow: hidden; width: 600px; float: left; clear: none; } /* == POSTS == */ article[id*=post-] { padding: 10px 0; } article>header p, article>footer p { font-style: italic; } article+nav { font-weight: bold; } section>h1 { padding-top: 10px; } /* == SIDEBAR == */ aside { margin-top: 30px; overflow: hidden; width: 320px; float: right; clear: none; } aside li { list-style: none; } aside li ul li { list-style: disc outside; } /* search form -------------------------------------- */ .searchform { display: inline-block; zoom: 1; /* ie7 hack for display:inline-block */ *display: inline; border: solid 1px #d2d2d2; padding: 3px 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 2em; -moz-border-radius: 2em; border-radius: 2em; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.1); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.1); box-shadow: 0 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.1); background: #f1f1f1; background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#fff), to(#ededed)); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #ededed); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#ededed'); /* ie7 */ -ms-filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#ededed'); /* ie8 */ } .searchform input { font: normal 12px/100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .searchform .searchfield { background: #fff; padding: 6px 6px 6px 8px; width: 202px; border: solid 1px #bcbbbb; outline: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2em; -moz-border-radius: 2em; border-radius: 2em; -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.2); -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.2); box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.2); } .searchform .searchbutton { color: #fff; border: solid 1px #494949; font-size: 11px; height: 27px; width: 27px; text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.6); -webkit-border-radius: 2em; -moz-border-radius: 2em; border-radius: 2em; background: #5f5f5f; background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#9e9e9e), to(#454545)); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #9e9e9e, #454545); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#9e9e9e', endColorstr='#454545'); /* ie7 */ -ms-filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#9e9e9e', endColorstr='#454545'); /* ie8 */ } /* == FOOTER == */ body>footer { padding-top: 100px; text-align: center; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; clear: both; } You can check the page for yourself at http://www.jasonfoulke.com/md2/ I don't think posting the html here would really help because it basically includes a bunch of different pages, so the best way to see it is to view source on the page. I have three questions. 1. I saw some site which cut if there is a wide picture on side bars, like it just show the part which is on the sidebar box if its wider it cuts the extra part like this site if you see the first picture on the side bar its bigger but it cuts the extra part (-http://dot21.blogspot.com/-) , i want to know how to do it. 2. When some people add backgrounds they write background-repeat:no-repeat whats the function of that code??? and what can i write instead of no-repeat?? 3. whats the function of this code (background-position:bottom left) ??? If you couldnt answer some i hope you answer the ones you know. I'm trying to have a sidebar to the right of my page content that extends the entire height of the container it is in. Code: .sidebar { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 150px; height: 100%; color: #999999; background: #ffffff; float: right; border-top: none; border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: none; border-right: none; } This is the code I am currently using, but it is only as tall as the contents of the div. I need the border on the left to extend the length of the container it is in. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott I am working on a site in CSS (first time! Yay!) I am having one problem: there is a sidebar, and I have used spacer images to make the coloring go to the very bottom of the page (the links stop above that). HOWEVER: this is for my screen size, and I am worried that when people view it with a different screen/window size, they will have scroll bars, even though there is no content at the bottom. Is there any attribute that will make it just go right to the bottom? Thanx. Here's the main site: http: // anomalyrecords . net / index . html Here's the sto http: // anomalyrecords . net / catalog I am using a Zencart embedded template to wrap the main site design around Zencart.. This is working perfectly with a small remaining issue.. I am trying to synchronize the content placement of the sidebar items between Zen Cart and the rest of the site pages.. There is an ever so slight "shift" of the sidebar elements when you toggle bewteen the site pages and the store.. I've done a lot of tweaking and I'm fairly close, but I am at a COMPLETE loss how to put this to bed once and for all. I am hoping one of the CSS gurus here will see what I am clearly missing and guide me back to the light.. i have created a new model for a 3 column layout, (left sidebar, main content, right sidebar) i used yui 3.0 index.php page as an example to float the main column right. this is designed to put the main column to static so that it is liquid, with a min width. im not working with a liquid layout however, so some adjustments are needing to be made. my site is 950 pixels wide. my sidebars are about 175 pixels each, when used. i have 2 classes that i append to the main column style depending on wether a left sidebar will be used or not. so when i set the #mainColumn for class .marginForLeftNav then it will accomodate for the left nav bar to pop up into place. if no left sidebar, then i use #mainColumn . marginForNoLeftNav class. The problem i am having is trying to accomodate the right sidebar, which will always be used. my requirements a 1) that the side bar html code falls below the main column code on the html page. so essentially i need to leave room in teh mainColumn for these columns to pop up into place. 2) that the styles used to float the left sidebar, and the main column are left in tact if possible. heres some code Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #wrapper{ /* Wraps everything.

NOTICE, how the main column overflows behind the right sidebar, which makes the content in the right sidebar begin AFTER the bottom of the main column. this is obviously the main problem. I need the main column to obey the right sidebar, depending on wether theres a left sidebar or not. Hi all, At http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/blog2/ I have recently changed the entire layout and replaced it all with new images, BG, etc. In IE... On the right, the sidebar and BLOG searchform are all a little too far to the right. I've been playing with it all for a while, but can't seem to move it to the left. I basically just need to shift the entire righthand contents about 10 or 20 px to the left, but I need to avoid that also changing the righthanded content on all the other pages. Actually, in FF it is correct, except that the BLOG searchform bar needs to com over about 10-20px to the left. Other than that, it's perfect. I need to make IE look like that! CSS file is at http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/main.css I'd appreciate any help. Thank you! Chris I know this probably has a really simple answer but how do I make it so the sidebar is on the right side of the content box on a WordPress theme? Here is what it looks like right now: http://reptilenewsstation.1sthoster.com/ The sidebar is below the content box and I want it to be on the right side of the content box. I know the theme sucks right now but this is my first WordPress theme and I want to set everything up in the correct places before I start getting into really styling it. Hello everyone. I am working in wordpress trying to make a web site. I am pretty new to wordpress and i have basic CSS and HTML knowledge so i need some help with this. The website: Code: http://sitesuperhostdemo.com/m2/ 1. The #sidebar-1-wrap. The problem i am having is the sidebar. As you can see on the page the sidebar (#sidebar-1-wrap) is positioned under the content but i would want it to stand beside the content (#home-content). 2.The #content-sidebar-wrap. I didnt add this container it is built into wordpress but the problem is that anything i add in wordpress -> pages -> Home page is for some reason placed inside the #content-sidebar-wrap but i have no idea why. The #content-sidebar-wrap is streching my page down because it contains the sidebar but starts at the top of the default wordpress content and i am clueless as to how i can change it so it doesent include all the content i place on the page. I would like it to only contain #sidebar-1-wrap and if i am correct i assume i can then place the sidebar next to the content and stop the div from extending my page. 3. The sidebar position. I can for example set the following code to the #sidebar-1-wrap: Code: .home_page #sidebar-1-wrap { position: relative; top: -615px; left: 40px; } but there must be a better way. Also doing this doesent change the #content-sidebar-wrap. It still extends the page down as if the sidebar is still under the content. This would maybe work if i knew how to change the content so it isnt inside #content-sidebar-wrap but i see no way of doing it. Someone help please before i blow my brains out. If anyone needs clarification on anything lmk and ill clarify. I'm a bit of a CSS newbie but I try. How do you get the sidebars' height to synchronize with the height of your content? I tried height=100% but it doesn't seem to work. If I put a lot of text in my content, it stretches down but the sidebars remain the same height, making the layout looking ugly. I don't want to have to press enter in my sidebars to match the content's height all the time! Here's my code: <style type="text/css"> #container { width: 100%; border: 1px solid gray; margin: 0px auto; } #banner { padding: 0px; background-color: #CDC8F1; } #content { padding: 5px; background-color: #FFFFFF; } #sidebar-a { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(235, 235, 235); height: 100%; } #sidebar-b { float: right; margin: 0; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(235, 235, 235); height: 100%; } #footer { clear: both; padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(213, 219, 225); } body { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } </style> Can someone help me with stopping the sidebar from overlapping the footer on jussbuss.tv singles category section, please help Hello, I'm developing an intranet forum system with a design similar to Google Groups i.e. a sidebar with links to each message in the current thread, and a main content area to display the actual messages. Each area, i.e. the sidebar and the main content area, is a DIV. I have set the sidebar to width:25% and the main area left:25%, width:75%. My problem comes when I want each area to scroll (the main area vertically, and the sidebar horizontally). My plan is to use overflow:auto; this works fine with the main content area, but with the sidebar the text wraps around onto a new line if it overflows the DIV. This appears to be because the text is "hitting" the other DIV, i.e. the main content area, forcing it onto a new line. So can I do this using DIVs or do I have to resort to frames (I hope not, frames are SO messy and long-winded compared to DIVs....) Thanks, Nick Hi I am a blogger user and write an English blog.

I do not know this. Can you please help me in this regard? Many Thanks Greetings! This is my first time with using css and I'm going out of my mind trying to fix a floating sidebar. As you can see from the included jpeg, I want the sidebar and main content areas to float flush with the navigation bar. But for some reason, my right sidebar keeps getting pushed down. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Devon picture of what it should look like:themorphememan.com/personalstuff/website-design.jpg code:themorphememan.com/personalstuff/index.html Hi, I have a sidebar that's getting a little cramped and I would like to space them out by about 5-10px. Am using wordpress widgets for most of them so am unsure about where to find them in the code.. www.leehughes.co.uk #content #sidebar { float: right; width: 25%; } #content #sidebar p { font-size: 15px; /* dontate button) */ line-height: 22px; color: #FFFFFF; } #content #sidebar p a { color: #FFFFFF; /* dontate button) */ text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar p a:link { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar p a:hover { color: #003366; text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar h2 { color: #FFFFFF; /* categories button) */ font-size: 15px; } #content #sidebar h3 { font-size: 15px; color: #FFFFFF; } #content #sidebar h3 a { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar h3 a:hover { color: #003366; text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar h2 a { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 15px; /* Subscribe button) */ text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar h2 a:hover { color: #003366; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar li { color: #0000FF; /* Bullet point of posts button) */ line-height: 20px; } #content #sidebar li a { color: #FFFFFF; /* posts button) */ font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; } #content #sidebar li a:link { font-size: 15px; color: #FFFFFF; /* seconds posts button) */ text-decoration: none; } #content #sidebar li a:hover { color: #003366; text-decoration: underline; } #content #sidebar a { color: #000000; } Hi, I have been having trouble fixing the coding on my site to be able to withhold the same content size while the window is being re-sized. Before I added min-width: 800px to my main content, it was being squeezed by the sidebar to force the letters/images to the left. Now with the code implemented, the sidebar reacts differently. It is being forced to the bottom as it meets the min-width of the content. Site: Diablo 3 Kore - Please google it - [can't link yet] CSS: /* Content */ #fw-bigcontain {padding: 3px; min-width: 800px; float:right;} #fw-columnContainer {} #fw-mainColumn {margin: 0px;} #fw-paragraph {} .fw-paragraphtop {} .fw-text {} h3.fw-title {background: url(()) no-repeat scroll;color: white; font-size: 17pt; font-family: 'Clarendon Cn BT';} /* Sidebar */ #fw-sidebar h3.fw-title {background: url(() no-repeat left center; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: -8px; height: 13px;} #fw-sidebar {min-width: 245px; float: right; background:black; padding: 7px;} #fw-sidebar li {} .hasSidebar #fw-sidebar .fw-title {font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'SonicCutThru Hv BT';} /* end sidebars */ I haven't seen any css code I implemented that I could carry over to the sidebar code that could do the same thing. Well, please help me resolve this issue. Thank you. hello everyone, I've been reading this forum for ages, but I thought i'd finally post. I have a problem with my site forexpm.com The ads are supposed to be on the right hand side, but some people say that in firefox they are in the middle, covering the text. I know it's something to do with css, but I can't work out what it is. Can anyone please help? Thanks muchly. ***RESOLVED: Had to switch to relative positioning*** Okay. I'm sure this is extremely simple, but I can't seem to get this to work for some reason. I'm basically trying to put a right sidebar in, but it keeps to the left. Concept: http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rhoover84/concept.jpg Reality: http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rhoover84/reality.jpg Here's my css: Code: body { background-color: #5D5D5D; text-align: center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } /* Layout Specs */ #container { width: 950px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; } h1, h2, h3, p { margin: 10px 255px 10px 15px; } div.content { position: absolute; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #504E52; width: 950px; margin: 0px 255px 0px 0px; z-index: 1; } div.header { background-image: url('images/header.png'); background-position: top; background-repeat: no-repeat; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; width: 950px; height: 200px; z-index: 2; } div.rtcol { position: absolute; float: right; width: 240px; background-color: #E7EEF9; color: #504E52; border-left: 2px solid 7BD5EA; z-index: 2; } p.rtcol { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } /* Text: Headings, etc. */ h1, h2, h3 { text-transform: uppercase; color: #6083BB; } h1.rtcol, h2.rtcol, h3.rtcol { color: #E36A07; } And finally, the HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <img src="images/logopng.png" float="left"> <div class="header"> </div> <div class="content"> <h2>Test Title</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Hello, I've found many threads on making your sidebar appear as if it is growing with tiling backgrounds, but my situation is a tad more unique. My project can be found he http://tinyurl.com/ygq22wa If you are on the home page and click "About Us", the content behaves as I want it. The problem is, I want the sidebar to grow with the content, but only underneath the links. I want the bolts image to always be at the lower left of the page, and the "middle" of the sidebar to grow (so that the links stay put, but the sidebar grows underneath to match the content div). That way, I won't have undesired empty space next to the content when the page grows more than the min-height I have defined for the sidebar. I've seen some Javascript solutions, but I really would like to accomplish this with CSS. Big thanks to anyone who can help. I need to center the contents of two divs in one of my sidebars. The page can be seen he http://dev.asbco.com I need to center the free quote image and also the tabbed section beneath it. Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm trying to launch this site by the end of the week. Thanks! |
