CSS - Stretching Background Div To Fit Content
I'm in the middle of learning CSS and have come along alright for the most part. I have two small questions though.
1) The page I'm working on is http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php. It's a three-column layout, with div boxes holding various links down the right and left sides of articles that will be posted. There is a main div that all of this sits in, and that expands just fine to whatever amount of content the article may have. But if the article were to have just a samll amount of content, the div wouldn't expand to the minimum height established by the link boxes on the right and left. How do I make that happen? I just need the light grey box to expand down to the lowest point on the page. 2) Notice the small box with the yellow border in the middle. I want this to be a copyright footer, but have a similar problem. How do I make that box appear 10px below whatever the lowest point for the main div is? Basically, I need the nav boxes to push everything down. I HOPE this can be done fluidly, so I can simply add and remove boxes quickly without needing a CSS edit...that's the goal anyway...modular nav boxes. My CSS is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.css and the page is at http://www.mcconaha.com/csscenter.php (Also note that this is really all I'm asking. I'm going to clean up the rest...just roughing it out right now.) Anyway, thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsOk, iv had this problem alot when making sites, however this time it seems to be more complicated. http://area51.chicagowars.com/templates/modern_rouge/index.php is a site im working on. However the background in <div class="outer"> wont stretch. Iv used clearfix CSS such as Code: div.inner:after {
clear: both;
display: block;
content: ".";
height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
/* hide from IE-mac \*/
* html .inner {
height: 1%;
}
div.inner {
display: block;
}
/* end hide */
and the simpler Code: div.clearfix
{
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
<div class="clearfix"> </div>
You'll be able to see these in the script. Iv done this kind of thing before (http://www.rap-wars.com) where i had tyhe same problem, but this time its not workin, i think its the breadcrumbs thats complicating things! Does anyone have the solution? I have a background that is fixed, but it isn't large enough to fit all monitors, so i'd like to stretch it to fix (not repeat), but can't seem to figure out how.. here's my current code Code: <style type="text/css">
body
{background-image: url("/Images/AngelLayout.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;}
</style>
Hi guys, I'm roughing out a template and wondered if you could please help me with something: In IE the background graphic body-stretch.jpg does not stretch as it does in Firefox, I read around and thought this may be something to do with the peekaboo hack but I couldn't get any of the fixes to work. Any ideas? Also, you will see I have a footer graphic that stretches all the way across the bottom of the page, right now it is outside my "container" div because when placed inside it is restricted to the width of the container and not to the edges of the page. If I change the width of the container to suit it everything gets left aligned. Placing the footer div outside the container means the textual content crosses over it (see page in firefox to see what I mean). Pulling my hair out! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated Code:

Hi, I have a site with a left navigation bar (which is fixed width, and has a background colour that must stretch full screen from top to bottom of the page). The site is: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005/z.html Stylesheet: http://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/2005...s/style2005.css As you can see, the left navigation menu stops once the content within the div is displayed. It does not stretch to the bottom of the screen. (say if you're on 1024 x 768 resolution) Note: this varies according to the main (right) content. If the main content was shorter than the menu bar - it would work fine. The menu bar has a min-height of 100% which means the background applies to the size of your screen. However, if the main content height is greater than that of the menu bar - then the menu bar will not adapt, but the background simply stops. Is there a workaround for this? With tables, this could easily be achieved because the background colour of one cell is stretch until the end of the table, and not the content within the cell. However, I'd like to do this with CSS. Here's some CSS: Code:
body, p {
color:#666666 ;
font-family: Verdana, Arial ;
font-size:7.5pt ;
font-weight:normal;
}
body {
height:100%;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #2F201E;
}
#container {
width: 968px;
height:100%;
}
#nav {
width: 201px;
border-right: 3px solid #FFFFFF;
background: #8D603B;
float: left;
min-height:100%;
}
I've tried switching "min-height" and "height" but they don't seem to do what I want.... if anyone could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks a lot! I am attempting to build a site with a fixed-width column that automatically centers in a window. In addition, I need the center color to extend to the bottom of the browser OR to the end of the content, which ever is longer. Right now, everything works great, until the content requires the page to scroll (either due to longer content or a shrunk browser window). For some reason, even though the "testing" text will continue, the background color stops short. How can I make the background always extend to the bottom of the text, no matter the browser size or content length? (I do have a much more complicated site built with an external style sheet, but to save hastle, this is a stripped down version showing just the issue I am having. The problem doesn't change even with nesting elements in the "main" div). Sorry if this question is dumb/obvious to anyone, I have tried finding a solution and it just seems to elude me. Thanx for any help anyone can offer! Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {

My code is below. The problem is the images in leftFloat & rightFloat are transparent png's and the middle background image stretches into those divs are appear behind the transparent png's in Firefox only. This does not happen in IE. I've tried setting different background images, background image to none and nothing seems to work. Any ideas are appreciated. CSS #container { width: 100%; background: url('images/topM.gif') repeat; } #leftFloat { width: 30px; float: left; } #rightFloat { #width: 30px; float: right; } #middleStretch { height: 25px; min-height: 1% } --------------------------- XHTML <div id="container"> <div id="leftFloat"/>image goes here</div> <div id="rightFloat">image goes here</div> <div id="middleStretch">this div should stretch to fill the space between the left & right floats showing while repeating container background image</div> <!--end #container--></div> Hi there, I have a content glider script, but I have added it to a wrapper with a background image. The css is using a white background colour so when a new layer is glided up, it covers the one underneath it. However, I want the background to be transparent to show the background image underneath.... If I remove the white background, they layers become transparent and overlay each other, so you can see all text in the layers on top of each other making it impossible to read. Is there anyway I can make it so it has a transparent background, but so it will not show the content under the new slide? This is my CSS: PHP Code: .glidecontentwrapper{ position: relative; /* Do not change this value */ height: 230px; /* Set height to be able to contain height of largest content shown*/ overflow: hidden; } /* Total wrapper width: 350px+5px+5px=360px Or width of wrapper div itself plus any left and right CSS border and padding Adjust related containers below according to comments */ .glidecontent{ /*style for each glide content DIV within wrapper.*/ position: absolute; /* Do not change this value */ background: white; visibility: hidden; width: 330px; } /* Total glidecontent width: 330px+10px+10px=350px Or width of wrapper div itself (not counting wrapper border/padding) */ .glidecontenttoggler{ /*style for DIV used to contain toggler links. */ width: 360px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center; /*How to align pagination links: "left", "center", or "right" background: white; /*always declare an explicit background color for fade effect to properly render in IE*/ } Any help would be great! Thanks. I am new to using CSS for more than just text, and I have run into a problem. What I want to do is to have an image with a margin of 3px around it. The problem occus with the background color and border in Mozilla (Fire Fox). The box dosn't fit around the image properly. Does anyone have an idea why this is? --xenite is there a way to have a different background image in the .content area on different pages? this is the site: http://bradleyrose.net/WaterStreetRestaurant/pages/catering&parties.html cobble-stone-road-4.jpg is used on all pages, is there a way to use a different image on some pages? I have a layer 'main' that contains two columns - one on the left called 'left', one on the right called 'right'. Both columns are layers themselves. 'main' has a background colour 'left' and 'right' have a fixed size background image which does not repeat. JavaScript determines the size of the window and then sets the height of these three layers exactly. This is supposed to be a minimum height to ensure the page is filled initially, however I have used the following code (explained later): Code:
if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
// main height
var pageHeight = myHeight;
document.getElementById("main").style.height = pageHeight+"px";
// content height
var leftHeight = pageHeight - 233;
document.getElementById("left").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
document.getElementById("right").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
Content on 'right' may extend beyond the height of the page and therefore makes the page scroll. When the content in 'right' expands - it is hoped that the size of 'main' expands so that the background colour of this layer fills the space where the content overflows. Using the above JavaScript and this HTML - that works as desired in IE7. Code:
<div id="main" style="position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 680px; background: #E1E6EA; text-align: left; padding: 0; z-index: 2">
<div id="left" style="float: left; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 198px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/left.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 3">
blah
</div>
<div id="right" style="float: right; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 482px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/right.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; z-index: 3; overflow: inherit">
badly coded extra bit to extend the layer
<br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
<br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfdgf
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
</div>
</div>
As the content of 'right' expands so does the background behind everything. HOWEVER - this only works in IE and not the other two test browsers: Safari and Firefox. To remedy this - I tried minHeight instead of height. The outcome of that - the background behind 'right' extends (because the background colour continues past the minHeight) but the background behind 'left' is just not shown and the background of 'main' does not extent. Therefore it has a background on the left hand side until the minHeight of 'main' then the left hand side has no background after that point. That's in Firefox and Safari. With this "solution" in IE - it goes a bit weird but since it doesn't even work right in the other two I ignore that for now. So - it either works in IE or not at all. Hence why I am currently using the code that at least works in a browser. Any suggestions to get it working in all? I update the website of a local gaming center and I recently redesigned it. I am not a CSS expert and now that I have integrated it into to site, the background will not fill the screen on larger monitor sizes. When you scroll down to the bottom of the page it turns leaves a large white space at the bottom of the screen. There is also an odd white border around the site. The css can be found in the source code. The site is nextlevelchardon.com I've noticed a trend in recent CSS sites with a header, content and perhaps double footer. Each of these sections has a fixed width for the content but the backgrounds for each section are liquid and each has a unique colour. I've been trying to replicate this effect on a clients site but I just can't seem to make it work. Does anyone have any ideas? This is the technique I've been using: Code: <div id="header-fluid"> <div id="header-fixed"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"></div> </div><!-- head-fixed --> </div><!-- head-fluid --> Code: <div id="content-fluid"> <div id="content-fixed"> <div id="content"></div> </div><!-- content-fixed --> </div><!-- content-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer1-fluid"> <div id="footer1-fixed"> <div id="sponsors"></div> </div><!-- footer1-fixed --> </div><!-- footer1-fluid --> Code: <div id="footer2-fluid"> <div id="footer2-fixed"> <div id="copyright"></div> </div><!-- footer2-fixed --> </div><!-- footer2-fluid --> Thanks for your time on this!! Hanek Hello, I just joined the forum, I'm new to web design although I have some experience in video post production. I'm attempting to create a layout for a website using sticky footer technique and an image for the border shadow in the main column. The sticky footer works well until I tweak the css to add the background border image, then I get this empty space in the middle of the body where the border image background should be extending to. It's probably a novice mistake but I can't get to find it. Your help would be much appreciated. The HTML: Code: <body>

Thank you, pixelMason. Edit: Problem Solved thanks to f_nietzsche I read a thread on div streching but I didn't totally understand what was going on in that particular case so I thought I create a new thread and throw my code up as well. I'm trying to have a minimum height with a footer anchored at the bottom of the div (contained within it for the bg image to carry through behind the footer). But I can't seem to get all the pieces to work together. The problem I'm dealing with now is that the div won't stretch and the footer will be pushed down way too far. Here is what's happening. So how do I get the div to keep a minimum height of 706px or like 80% and then how do I get it to auotmatically stretch with the content and keep the footer anchored at the bottom of the stretched div? Here's the code: Code:

I know I've seen lots of questions on div sizing and positioning, but I apparently haven't been able to follow them. So I wrote out some very basic containers, and am looking for some very basic answers, even if they're only "no, it won't work." So let's say I have a layout like this: PHP Code: <div style="height: 100%; width: 100%; border: 2px red dashed; text-align: center;"> <!-- outside div --> <div style="height: 200px; width: 300px; border: 2px blue solid; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "> <!-- centered div --> <div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; border: 2px green dashed; text-align: left; float: left;"> <!-- floated div 1 --> hello world 1 <!-- /floated div 1 --> </div> <div style="height: 100px; width: auto; border: 2px orange dashed; text-align: left; float: left;"> <!-- floated div 2 --> hello world 2 <!-- /floated div 2 --> </div> <div style="font-size: 0px; height: 0px; width: 0px; clear: both;"> <!-- clear div / --> </div> <!-- /centered div --> </div> <!-- /outside div --> </div> What I want to happen is for the orange div (floated div 2) to fill the rest of the width of the surrounding blue div (centered div). I know with this simple example I can simply set the pixel width, but I want to eventually make it more dynamic, allowing for variable sizes, like if I set the blue div to be a percentage instead of a fixed width. Any ideas? (Even links to appropriate threads are appreciated!) Thanks! (edit: had to update "centered div" to be firefox compatible) I have two divs floated inside another div, but the outside div isn't stretching to accommodate the inner divs. Why not? The TMPL tags are used by the HTML::Template perl module. html Code: Original - html Code <div class='photo-navigate'> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=PREVIOUS_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=NEXT_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> </div> <div class='photo-navigate'> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=PREVIOUS_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=PREVIOUS_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> <div style='width: <TMPL_VAR NAME=THUMBNAIL_WIDTH>; float: left;'> <TMPL_IF NAME=NEXT_EXISTS><a href='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_LINK>'><img src='<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXT_IMG>' border=0 /></a></TMPL_IF> </div> </div> css Code: Original - css Code div.photo-navigate { border: 1px solid black; background-color: #eeeeee; }
div.photo-navigate {
Hopefully this is an easy question, how is this done to fill a frame, without repeating, just to stretch it out and fill up a frame? Ok so www.gameyin.com/index.php You will see a dotted border flowing up the left nav bar, and below advertisements (Yes I know I'm using tables. I will eventually move them onto a roll over menu.) I have it set up so it should only be dotted border for the ads. But it is going around everything. Weird. Here is.. CSS for it. Code: .advertisement {
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
border: 1px dotted;
width: 100%;
}
.advertisement p {
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
clear: both;
text-align: center;
}
HTML for it Code: <div class="advertisement">
<p>Have A Look At Some Of Our Sponsors</p>
<img src="images/ad1.gif" alt="Ads" />
<img src="images/ad2.gif" alt="Ads" />
<img src="images/ad3.gif" alt="Ads" />
<img src="images/ad4.gif" alt="Ads" />
<img src="images/ad5.jpg" alt="Ads" />
<img src="images/ad6.gif" alt="Ads" /><br />

You will see more if you go to site and see what I mean. Dunno if I got all the HTMl for it and CSS. I wrote it a while ago with the problem. Just never got around to trying and fix it . |
