CSS - Layout And Document Flow
I've got a 2 column layout. It goes like this:
.leftnav { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } .content { position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 0px; } In the html: <div class="leftnav">A bunch of navigation</div> <div class="content">A bunch of content</div> Now, underneath both of these columns, spanning the width of both, I want a footer div. The leftnav and the content will not be the same length down the page. I don't know which of these 2 columns will be longer on any given page. However, underneath the longest column, I want to put my footer div. I could do this with a table easily enough. But how fun would that be? Similar TutorialsHello Friends I've a problem where my images flow away after i did added an banner has the following css code Code:
#topbar{
position:absolute;
padding: 2px;
background-color: #F4F3B3;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
}
HTML Code Code: <div id="topbar"> <a href="" onClick="closebar(); return false"><img src="images/close.gif" alt="blah" border="0" /></a> ads goes here </div> now the images on IE below the banner flow away and after i make refresh it back again i've tired to change position:absolute; to fixed/relative ..ect but it will effect the banner since it moves down with the scroll thanks in advance What are some reasons that a div box could come out of the flow of the page. I know when you set an elements position to absolute, it comes out of the flow. Fixed does this as well. Any other reasons, or bugs. I have a couple div boxes which are positioned relatively and floated left and right. They have come out of the flow and now overlap other elements. I have no idea why.

I'm running into a problem with an interface that I'm developing. Basically it's a collapsible treeview using DHTML and the display property to 'open' and 'close' tables. I need to have several of these tables side by side but without overflowing horizontally so that the user has to scroll horizontally. The best way I've found was to float the elements so that any overflowing tables would be wrapped. Example: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] However, a problem arised when I 'open' and 'closed' the tables repeatedly (three times or more). The other tables started to wrap immediately after the first table (the one I was opening and closing). So that all the tables lined up in a single column eventually and not flowing as they should've been. Example: [] [] [] [] [] Upon refreshing the page, everything flows as it should. Please let me know if I'm unclear in my description. Hi All, I am using DIV tags to hold content rather than using a table. I have about 16 elements with the following style applied: Code:
div.game {
text-align: center;
float: left;
height: 180px;
width: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This works well, the DIVs will fit as many per row as possible but it can leave a lot of empty space to the right of the screen (up to 150px obviously) and if the last row has less DIVs they to the left of the screen like this: |--- page ---| [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ] I would like to be able to either center the DIVs or to space them out like this: |--- page ----| [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ______ [ ] Hope that is clear. I can't set relative widths, as I want the page to scale. So is there any way I can acheive the effect I want? Thanks. Hello, I'm stumped on how to float an image to the left, and still keep it in the flow of the document. Here is an example off my head. Code:
#container {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
img.floatleft {
float:left;
}
div {
display: inline;
}
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>
The image will exceed the bounds of 'container' if the image is larger than the text is tall. How can I get around this? Thanks again for the help. webg <div>text</div> Is there a way to make text flow through to a new line if there is too much text to fit in the defined width of a button? 'Ello, This problem is a bit complex to try and explain on here so if this gets too confusing just let me know and I'll try and clear up whatever you are confused about. I am currently building a site that has a wrapper div with a width set to 100% and a max-width of 1000px so that on smaller screens the site will appear nicer and not have horizontal scrollbars. In this wrapper div is a content div that is 84% of the wrappers width and has it's margin set to 0 auto to make in then content div centre in the wrapper. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to change the content divs width from 84% to 100% once the wrapper div get to a small enough size. At the moment when the screen gets too small the content div is still 84% size of the wrapper div and centred, but say on a screen with a resolution of 800x600 I think it would be more beneficial to have to content div take up the whole wrapper to display more content. I was thinking of setting a min-width but then if the screen gets smaller than the min-width a horizontal scroll bar would appear. I was just wondering if something like this was possible, if not it doesn't matter to much as I can set the min-width up for a 800x600 screen resolution and anything below that probably isn't too important anyway. Hello, My page when correct should show the HeaderContainer, blow that the ActionContainer which has, 3 column divs, then below that the FooterContainer. It is important that the page build starts with the CenterContainer, then the LeftContainer, then RightContainer. My issue is that the LeftContainer and RightContainer columns both are aligning to the bottom of each other, and to the bottom of the CenterContainer column. I think this could be an issue with floats. What do you think? See online demo, http://tlcgiftsandbaskets.com/demo/positioning/position_css.php Code:

I can manually split the list into 3 columns of equal length, but that only works as long as the list doesn't change length and the window is the right size. Is there a way to have a single long list and automatcally show it in 3 newspaper style columns? Thanks Richard Can be all viewed here -> http://streaming.smad.jmu.edu/smad307/ring/gloo I have three layers starting at the same position on the page. Each layer has a Y-repeat repeating image that tiles seamlessly. There is one for the left spacer, the middle content, and the right spacer. The Nav menu on the left are just images placed in at the top of the left spacer layer. I'm trying to get each of these layers to expand as content fills up the middle Content layer. This doesnt work at all in Firefox - with any excess content just heading off into white space. And it works somewhat with IE - with only the Content layer to expand as content fills it. I know this is a recurring issue with CSS, but is there a simple fix for this? I've seen this done before without any Javascript hacks, but can't remember where. I do remember, it didn't look like the most graceful solution. And in IE, the navigation .gifs on the left have a gap between each of them. I found that odd since they're just <IMG>s within the layer. Any help would be greatly appreciated hi i have a table that has another small table of a fixed height aligned to the right. what i want is that when i enter text in the larger table, the text should 'flow' around the corner of the table. +----------+----+ +....1.....+..2.+ +..........+----+ +...............+ +---------------+ when i enter text in 1, i want that it wraps it around 2 as well. please tell me how to do it. Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom 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. Here is the xhtml starting at the 2 column part (wrapper): Code: <!--begin wrapper-->

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? I have a css stylesheet and an xslt stylesheet. In my xml doc i apply the xslt stylesheet, but how do i also apply the css? thanks I have CSS that contains numerous dynamic style properties, using the IE propriety css expressions. However, this causes IE to sometimes display sections of the page as blanks. The page get rendered properly once the use resizes the window. One could get past the issue using the following JavaScript (DHTML) expression: document.recalc(true); This expression can be called once the page has finished loading. I have however found that this does not always help. Those sections appears blank until the page is resized. Anyone knows of a solution? Hi all, Position Fixed does not work IE so the approach I used was document.body.scrollTop in my css. My approach seems to work but the div is very jumpy and does not run very smoothly. css Code: Original - css Code <!--[if lte IE]> <style type="text/css"> .banner { position:absolute; top:expression(eval(document.body.scrollTop + document.body.offsetHeight - 45)); left:0; margin:0; padding:0; height:42px; width:100%; color:#FFFFFF; background:#DDDDDD; } </style> body > banner { position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; } <![endif]-->
html Code: Original - html Code <div id="banner" class="banner" align="left"> <div id="banner" class="banner" align="left"> Stephen OK not only am I having problems giving a background image to individual cells. I have a problem where I cannot give the whole document the same background. I mean the background appears but one table (tab2) and one cell (td1) do not show the image that should span their areas too. Ive included the css, I think I may be some suspisious code. If you could please have a look for me. Thanks (see attached) Can somebody please help me with a problem i am having with my footer. I have been reading through articles and help forums for days now trying to get a footer on my theme that will stick to the bottom of the document. At the moment the Footer is sticking to the bottom of the page, but as the content of my pages are longer than the viewpoint, My footer is appearing in the middle of my content. I have been trying all sorts to try and figure this out, and everything i try seems to not work. My website is here My HTML code can be found here And my CSS Code can be found here Many thanks, Is there a way to expand the height and width of a DIV to the height and width of the document, not the browser window? When I set it too 100%, and scroll, the div remains the size of the original window. The DIV is for a background grey out screen, and I want it to encompass the height and width of the document and persist when scrolling. Explicitly setting height and width with pixels doesn't work, because that depends on the user's screen resolution. Any thoughts? Many thanks... |
