CSS - Stretching The Container Of A Three Column Div
Hey guys,
I have a site where I have a 3 column layout in the middle of the site. What I did to get it to work was made a container for the three column div with a relative position then gave the three column div an absolute position within it to position it correctly in the site. I want a border across all three columns to appear at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately though, because all three columns will differ in height depending on content the border appears at different places across the bottom. My quick solution was giving the container div a border bottom and give it a definite height (like 300px). That works fine, as long as any of the three column divs don't have more content that that, then the content will overlap the container div border. Okay Okay, I know you're probably tired of reading, so here's the css and markup that I have to help... The CSS: Code:
/*-- three column container --*/
#tcontent {
position: relative;
width: 758px;
height: 350px;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
border-bottom: solid 1px #9E5459;
/*-- the three column div --*/
#leftcontainer {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 175px;
height: auto;
}
#centercontainer {
margin-left: 175px;
margin-right: 215px;
height: auto;
}
html>body #centercontainer {
margin-left: 175px;
margin-right: 215px;
height: auto;
}
#rightcontainer {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 215px;
text-align: left;
height: auto;
}
/*-- the divs that hold the content for each of the three columns --*/
#tleftcontent {
width: 175px;
height: auto;
margin: 30px 0 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#centercontent {
float: left;
width: 327px;
height: auto;
margin: 27px 0 0 0;
padding: 0 15px 0 0;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
width: 342px;
text-align: left;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 80%;
letter-spacing: 0em;
line-height: 1.5em;
}
#rightcontent {
float: left;
width: 215px;
height: auto;
margin: 28px 0 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
And now the markup: Code: <div id="tcontent"> <div id="leftcontainer"> <div id="tleftcontent"> left content here </div> </div> <div id="centercontainer"> <div id="centercontent"> center content here </div> </div> <div id="rightcontainer"> <div id="rightcontent"> right content here </div> </div> If I make the height in the #tcontent div "auto", the bottom border shoots up to the top. If I give it a definite height, the copy from either of the three column content div's overlaps it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to solve this? Thanks, I know this was a long question! -B Similar TutorialsHi I am quite familiar with CSS but am stumped on how I could do the following. Basically I need a template with a header, body and footer, I know, sounds simple right, but I need to have the middle body section of the page stretching to the height of the browser, so that the space in between the header and footer is filled in with the middle container. The middle container that stretches to the required height needs to have a background image that cannot be covered over by the header or the footer. This is the problem, because if the middle container is set to 100% height, then a scroll bar is always present because of the header and footers height. I have been able to create what I am trying to do with a table, but obviously I want to avoid using a table for a layout. Is there any way to recreate this but via CSS? Take a look at the table layout and change the size of your browser to see the effect I am aiming for, but in CSS http://labwaves.com/temp/index3.php This is an attempt in CSS, but It requires me to set the headers and footers background image to the same as the bodys background image, with I can't have . http://labwaves.com/temp/index2.php Congratulations on making it to the end of this long, but hopefully un-confusing post Thanks and any reply's are really, really appreciated as I am so stuck on this one! say you have a page with 2 main columns inside a container. the right column is a sidebar. both are supplied content dynamically. i'd like the container (inclusive) to be the height of the content column (as determined by its children), and the sidebar should scroll (vertically) its content based on that size. there's a (non-functional) example attached. if you run it you can see the container takes the height of the sidebar - it (the bordered container) should end at the bottom of the content div, and the sidebar should scroll. it's laid out using floating divs, but tables would be fine; javascript is not (per client). any ideas would be welcome. tyia.

Argh. Tried a number of variations on this probably simple task. Nonetheless: In this example how do I get the 'sidebar' to fill the vertical space of the container, and ensure the 'footer' remains positioned at the bottom (which it currently does) http://www.mandgweb.net/css_test/css_test.html Thank you Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:
<body>
<div class="colorbox">
<div class="colorboxtop">
<h2>title goes here</h2>
</div><!-- /colorboxtop -->
<div class="boxcontent">

Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind. So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix... (Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.) Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container. <!--AK47--> <div id="imgcont0"> <div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div> <div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div> </div> <!--/AK47--> imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be. Stylesheet: #imgcont0 { width: 825px; height: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #imgcont1 { width: 650px; } #imgcont2 { margin-left: 675px; width: 150px; } As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas? Hi all, I've tried searching around for this issue, but I've not found any help so far and it's driving me nuts. I hope someone here can advise. This is an abridged version of the site's code for example: Code: <style type="text/css">

I've placed the Country Title in an H2 tag, then beneath that, each anchor is enclosed in a DIV, and is set as a left-floated block. Then I placed a spacer DIV (clear: both) to create a new line, then repeated with H2 and links. This all works fine in Firefox, IE7 and Opera, but of course IE6 is being a pig as usual. The spacer DIV is pushed to sit alongside the bottom of the left column, and I can't figure out how to (or if I can) stop this. I can't add in links properly, so I hope this is acceptable under the rules -- The site in question is: www.swalings .com/swalings/index4.asp and here's a screenshot of IE6 behaviour: www.swalings .com/images/swalings-ie6-troubleshoot.jpg Hopefully that's enough information to go on, please let me know if there's something I missed out. Thanks a lot! Rob Hi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Hey, So I have a three column layout being implemented as such: html: Code:
<div class="content">
<div class="col1 column"></div>
<div class="col3 column"></div>
<div class="col2 column">
<div class="header">Header</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS: Code:
.column {
padding: 10px;
position:relative;
}
.header {
background:#cfe6f5;
color:#416383;
font-size:11px;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:300;
padding-left:15px;
}
.col1 {
float: left;
width:250px;
}
.col2 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.col3 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}
The problem is that the width of the header div extends all the way to the left and right of the page when it's in the middle column, but behaves the way I want it to (extends to the left and right of the column) when it's in the left or right column. 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? I have two divs floated inside another div, but the outside div isn't stretching to accommodate the inner divs. Why not?

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 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:

Hi, hopefully you enjoyed the title, I had a good laugh thinking of it in that split second it took me to write it. So, I found a 3 column css layout on a CSS generator website, because I got sick of trying to hack up layouts I've made in the past that didn't work. Anyhow, it was working fine with one line of content in each column when I tested it out, however, once content in the middle column was added, and stretched vertically beyond a certain point, it will drag the left columns content down with it. The right column is not affected in any way. I have spent a few hours trying to look for reasons as to why it would happen, but I had no luck. I would appreciate any help... so thank you in advance if you take a stab at it. Here's the html: Code: <body> <div id="pagewidth"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="wrapper" class="clearfix" > <div id="twocols" class="clearfix"> <div id="maincol">Main Text, woot. (aka hi hi hi)</div> <div id="rightcol">Sidebar, yippee.</div> </div> <div id="leftcol"> <div id="navigation">test</div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> and the CSS: Code: html, body
{
background: #333399;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: black;
}
#pagewidth
{
width: 750px;
text-align:left;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background: #333399 url('images/bodycontent.gif') repeat-y center top;
}
#header
{
position:relative;
height:138px;
background: url('images/header.gif') center;
width: 100%;
}
#leftcol
{
width: 118px;
float: left;
left: 25px;
position: relative;
background-color: transparent;
margin:0; padding:0;
}
#twocols
{
width: 700px;
float: right;
position: relative;
}
#rightcol
{
width:180px;
right: 25px;
float:right;
position:relative;
background-color: transparent;
}
#maincol
{
background-color: transparent;
float: left;
left: 100px;
display: inline;
position: relative;
width: 390px;
}
#footer
{
text-align: center;
height:39px;
background: url('images/footer.gif');
clear:both;
}
.clearfix:after
{
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
.clearfix{display: inline-table;}
/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix{height: 1%;}
.clearfix{display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */
/*printer styles*/
@media print{
/*hide the left column when printing*/
#leftcol{display:none;}
/*hide the right column when printing*/
#rightcol{display:none;}
#twocols, #maincol{width:100%; float:none;}
}
Again, thank you in advance if you can come up with anything. 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! can i make my left column, the same height as my right column? or infact, if the left is taller than the right, the right extends to it and if the right is taller than the left the left extends to it? is this possible, cheers heres my css: left column, is #leftNav and the right column is #contentMain PHP Code: #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 632px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } Here's a question I can't seem to fix. I have nested DIVs and when the nested DIVs receives text/content it will stretch, but the parent DIV of that DIV won't stretch with it. Causing the nested DIV to stretch beyond the border of the parent DIV. I've temporarily(sp) tried to fix the problem by putting tables in it, but any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you. ^_^ Hey I'm new at this forum, and also new with tableless layouts. I wanted 2 small divs at the left and right side of the main content div. Everything went ok, till I putted some content in. None of the divs expanded in Firefox and in IE just the maindiv streched. Layout: www.dennisenderink.nl/test2 Stylesheet: www.dennisenderink.nl/test2/stylesheet.css Can you help me out please? Ok, 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? 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? http://www.gamecitadel.com/reviews/31 In firefox: All content in the middle between the header and footer is in a div called mainContent Code:
#mainContent {
background-color: #323333;
background-image: url(images/index/contentBG.gif);
width: 779px;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 7px;
}
when the height is set, as is above, the mainContent div will only go to that height, and the content within it will continue down past(outside) of the div. if the height is removed, the mainContent div doesnt show at all. shouldnt the content inside the mainContent div determine its height? What have I forgotten to add? In IE: Works perfect |
