CSS - Multi Row And Column Layout
Hi I have sucessfully created a 4 column 2 row layout which works fine in IE, FireFox & Opera. The problem i have is that search1 needs to span the width of search and vote as opposed to just the width of search. (I have included the html allowing you to see what i mean).
Any ideas on how i would achieve this? - its driving me insane <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <style> div.container{position:absolute;left:0px;top:283px; width:751px; background-color:#CC3300; } div.panelmain { float:left; width: 191px; background-color:#999999; } div.panelmain1 {float:left; width: 191px; background-color:#0000FF; } div.panelmain2 {float:right;width: 170px; background-color:#CCFFFF; } #featured{ width:170px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; float:left ; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #vote{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; float:left; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #vote1{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; clear:both; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #members{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; float:left; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #members1{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; clear:both; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #search{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; float:left; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #search1{ width:191.3px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-color:a6b7db; clear:both; border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; } #content{ float: left; width: 55%; } </style> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="panelmain"> <div id="members"> members</div> <div id="members1"> <p>members1sssssssssssssssssss</p> <p>s</p> <p>ss</p> </div> </div> <div class="panelmain1"> <div id="search"> <p>Search</p> <p>d</p> <p>d</p> <p>dd</p> </div> <div id="search1"> search1 <p>s</p> <p>s</p> <p>d</p> <p>d</p> <p>ds</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> </div> </div> <div class="panelmain"> <div id="vote"> <p>Vote</p> <p>ss</p> <p>s</p> <p>ss</p> </div> </div> <div class="panelmain2"> <div id="featured"> <p>featured</p> <p>ss</p> <p>sss</p> <p>ss</p> <p>sss</p> <p>ss</p> <p>ss</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> <p>s</p> </div> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHi, I have a multi-column layout where I want every column to always be the same height. Any one of the columns may be the longest on any given page, so the other columns have to automatically adjust to match that height. Usually I'd just use the faux column technique where you repeat a background image, but that won't work because of two elements on this page: 1. each column has a border all the way around it. 2. one column resizes with the page. I've read the articles on liquid layouts with faux columns, but as far as I can tell those techniques won't work if your columns have borders. Does anyone know any technique that would work here? Thanks. hello. I am currently using a simple horizontal top menu with a vertical drop down.

Any ideas? Thanks. --Surgery Question title: A 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally and let them both scroll vertically Hello I did try several idea's, but all failed. Then I did search the web but found a list of > 400.000 in google. If someone is willing to tell me if it is possible and give me some directions, please do. Everything is welcome. I got a list with 3 columns ( basically you could say I have only two columns because 2-3 could be concatenated to together, but they have a different style and justification, but I could live to start with a two column sample) f.e line 1 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 2 : value_one - ( some_text - value_two (right justified) ) line 99:.... e.t.c Column one has a fixed width of 32px. 'some text' can be longer then the wide available and value_two is with 3 spaces appended to column 2. I want that column one is fixed horizontal and that the second and the third column can scroll horizontally. Of course when there are more line's then the height of the container is should be posable to scroll vertically. Finally I need the color behind column one be different then the column 2 and 3. So what I did create is a container with two containers where the left one has a different colour then the right one and above those a container with the list. I have overflow on auto, so I get scroll-bars when necessarily. But my problem is that when I scroll horizontally that my first column scrolls away to the left. Basically my question is. How can I get a 2 column layout, let only the second column scroll horizontally ( first is locked in horizontal place ) and let them scroll both vertically? Hello, I am having difficulty with the center column on the following page: http://cbo4edu.org/index2.html I want to widen the center column so that the CBO NEWS heading touches the blue line which divides the center and right column. When I try to add width to the style sheet the left column moves out of alignment. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Greetings, Basic Layout is: Page-Containter -> Header-Container -> Side-Container -> Content-Container -> Footer-Container Header is normal Side is a Float Left with a width of 250 Content has a left margin of 260 (to allow for the Side-Container) Footer is normal. Pretty basic. In the content area there are more divisions to handle different sections of data. The problem is that in some of the content sections, I need to have dynamically allocated "blocks" of data that form psuedo "columns". I do this by doing a float:left on each of the content blocks. (generally a 250px width) That way if I show 1 or 5, they all snug up next to each other and wrap properly in the browser. Still pretty basic. Until ... drum roll please ... the next section. Since the content is "float:left", it's removed from the layout and the following sections will just "snug up" next to the last content block. I want the section to "clear" the previous content division, but don't really have a clean way to declare the "height" of that division, due to the dynamic nature of the data. Silly Rabbit ... just do a clear:left !! In IE it works fine. In Firefox, the clear:left command is clearing the previous container! (side-container ... aka: left nav bar) First question: Which browser is right? is IE right and the clear:left should be contained to it's own division? or is firefox right and the clear:left checks all float:left regardless of division? Second question: If IE is right, what is the fix ... if Firefox is right, how should I actually structure this? I saw an idea that I liked a whole lot for displaying pictures and that kind of thing. I didn't want to really hank the guys code, but tried to make my own version of it. The problem I have is yet again with Internet Explorer doing really stupid things with the pics I drop in my div's. It keeps adding a padding to it and it's beginning to aggravate me. Here is the code I had: body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #4F6A84; text-align: center; } #super_container { position: absolute; top: 70px; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 438px; background: #424242; padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; } #super_container { height: 438px; } #sub_container { width:775px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; width: 765px; /*border-right: 1px solid #7D1E2C; border-left: 1px solid #7D1E2C;*/ height: 438px; background: transparent; margin: 0 auto; } #sub_container { width: 765px;} #right{ float: right; width: 150px; height: 438px; background: #c5c5c5; } #left { float: left; width: 400px; height: 438px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: blue; overflow:visisble; background-image:url(new_test/test1.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; } #left img { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 5px solid #fff;} #center { margin-left: 401px; margin-right:151px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; border-top:1px solid green; } and the html <body> <div id="super_container"><!--start of super container--> <div id="sub_container"><!--start sub_container--> <div id="right"> </div> <div id="left"> </div> <div id="center"> test </div> </div><!--end sub_container--> </div><!---end of super conatiner--> </body> the problem becomes evident when I put an image in the htnl of the left element. It either looks likeit rises just above the top of the super-container, or it is flush with the top and leaves a margin underneath it. As always, any help or design/tips as to what I am doing wrong would be great. I am just experimenting with new things, trying to see what I can or cannot do. The idea would be to have a home page with picture and right column with info. Then on the sub-pages have nav and subnav on the middle and right columns and pics on the left. Just a dry run, trying to see where i am. Thanks for the help in advance! jon I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Hello! I'm new to CSS, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on this page: sugarhooker[dot]com/testing/index2.html *The CSS is included in the head The right column is suppose to start where it says 'Are you hooked...' It should be right underneath the navigation bar. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! I am a HTML&CSS novice - I am trying to write a page using a three column layout but the column colour doesn't reach the footer. I understand that this is a common problem and I've looked at a lot of examples on the web of how to work around this or create a better layout but I'm still not sure enough to know which would be the easiest and best to go within the page I have written. I want to avoid images but other than that any help would be great! I have validated the HTML & CSS and they are copied below (could any advice be really specific, as I said this is very new to me!).

What I have now is he http://www.getabb.com/help/index.htm I want the Blue box on the bottom of the text to be displayed to the right of the text in the Pinkish area. If somebody could show me how to do this, I would appreciate it. Right now the site is only displayed correctly in IE but I will fix that later. Thanks in advance Hello, I'm not new to the web, but a newbie in terms of CSS. Could someone check out the following page and css and let me know why the text is not being wrapped in the overall layout. In other words, why is it running over top of the page footer and not contained. http://www.brainfuelmedia.com/postscript/temp.html and the css is http://www.brainfuelmedia.com/postscript/ps_main.css Thanks for all help. This is driving me nuts. G'day again, Following on from my last post (as yet unanswered, see the Left and Right Image post below), I am still trying to complete the layout of my site using CSS and <div> tags. As can be seen in the pictu http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/...sitecopyfp2.jpg I have three columns underneath the headers. The width's of each column are fixed, but I want the heights to be the same, ie. that of the column with the most information, and the footer bar to be underneath. The current CSS for the column sections: Code: #LeftCol { position: absolute; top: 360px; left: 75px; background-color: #a8b0b3; width: 157px; height: auto; } #CentreCol { position: absolute; top: 360px; left: 232px; background-color: #ffffff; width: 536px; height: auto; } #RightCol { position: absolute; top: 360px; left: 768px; background-color: #a8b0b3; width: 157px; height: auto; } and the HTML for the columns: Code: <div id="LeftCol"> blah blah blah </div> <div id="CentreCol"> blah blah blah </div> <div id="RightCol"> blah blah blah </div> I'd appreciate any help. Cheers. Dear all I would like to be able to create a design with a text column and an image column. The text would be continuous in the left-hand column, and images would be displayed in the right-hand column. In other words, I would like to be able to use the following HTML: Code: <p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah <img src="test.jpg" /> blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2.</p> I would like the text to appear continuously in the left-hand column, while the image appears at the correct point, but in the right-hand column. In other words, I would like the left-hand column (assuming I fixed its width) to contain the output: Code: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2. While the right-hand column will have the image, its top lining up with where the text changes to 'blah2'. Any ideas? I realize the most difficult thing about asking this question is describing the visual layout I want to achieve. I shall try to draw a mock-up, and post a link to it in this thread. Many thanks in advance, Tom Hi, I'm trying to write a reasonably complex (I think) layout using CSS but I can't get it working. here is a mockup of what it should look like: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/sitelayout.gif I basically want the main content area to stretch to fit the content being displayed, and have the right column (in blue) to stretch the whole height of the page. The other three areas are a fixed width/height, although the bottom bar's position must change depending on how long the blue bar is (ie the bottom bar should always be inline with the bottom of the blue bar). Here's my attempt so far: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/test.html I can't get the bottom (red) bar to line up with the bottom of the blue bar. If I change the height of the content area, the blue bar does not move but the red bar does. This is the main problem. And also, the website does not display correctly in IE If someone could help me out with these issues I'd be grateful, thanks Is it possible to transform the following structu Code: <div 1> <div 2><div 3><div 4> </div 1> to this visual effect: Code: | div 2 (20 px) | div 3 (auto-adjust width) | div 4 (20px) | Now there would probably not be a problem if we knew the all mighty general width of the <div1>, but we don't, and still we want it this scheme to behave like this: Code: <table width="dynamic"> <tr> <td width="20"></td><td>flexible here</td><td width="20"></td> </tr> </table> So is there some way to do it with divs and css? I've seen a lot of guides that demonstrate how to make a pure CSS two column layout so that if you have two different background colors, the columns will be the same height no matter which column is taller. However, I'm trying to create a border around the columns and found that these tricks don't work for that. The border only shows up around the content itself. How can I make it so that the border around both columns is as tall as the tallest column? |
