CSS - Size Not Working For Divs ??
Hi All,
I'm using divs to layout some boxes. There are a lot of boxes but if they are sized to fit the screen tehy are unreadably small. Hence they go off the edge of the screen. The user will use the scroll bars to view the page. BUT ... the blocks off the screen in aren't obeying the width rules! The ones on the initial screen view are fine, but when you scroll sideways they have gone to an odd size. This only happens on my local machine and intranet. See teh attached screen shot. The bottom row of boxes should all be the same size. When posted to a www address it works fine. I've posted the page here which works and a txt file with the code is attached. Any ideas how to correct this? By the way this is for an internal intranet so only have to consider IE 6 users. Similar TutorialsI could see this as potentially being really easy to do or really hard to do. I'm hoping for the former. Suppose I have 3 divs, A, B, C and that I want the total width of A + B + C to equal the width of the screen. Suppose also that I want them to be inline. How can I have B to be a fixed width while A and C expand depending on the screen width (such that the width of A = the width of C)? The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Hi, I'm trying to build a modal box tool. Yes I know downloadable solutions exist, but wisely or not I'm building from scratch. And the javascript is fine, but on the CSS I feel I'm not quite doing it right. The HTML structure is pretty straightforward: PHP Code: <div id="PopUpBox" class="SinglePopUpBox" style="display:none"> <div class="TopBar"> <div class="CloseX"><a href="javascript:closePopUp()"><img src="Images/WindowCloseX.PNG" /></a></div> <div id="PopUpBoxTitle" class="Title"></div> </div> <div id="PopUpContainer" class="Container"><b style="color:#FFFF00">...Connectiing...</b></div> </div> and I just stick that on any underlying page with a button to make it appear. Ajax connects and injects the chosen content into PopUpContainer. Here's the issue. PopUpBox I want to be a percentage of the screen, to work on any size window. It appears in the middle via percentages. TopBar within that is a fixed height. And then PopUpContainer should fill the rest of the PopUpBox. So I set height=100% on PopUpContainer. But then it overflows the box by exactly the height of TopBar. At first I thought "hey, this sounds like a job for clearfloat" but that doesn't work. And it shouldn't, because floats aren't the issue. The problem I believe is going to 100% of a variable size. % of (% - x) to be more precise. So I "fix" this by giving PopUpBox enough padding-bottom to match the size of TopBar. This immediately feels bad, and I don't even know why. But it looks good, so I was prepared to shut up and accept it. However, IE7 (and probably 6, if I wanted to try it) don't play along. (Ditto IE8 in compatability mode, naturally.) They don't seem to respect that height=100% at all, and will make the Container shrink or bust out depending on what's inside. So what's the right approach to doing this? I'm quite willing to make moderate changes to my approach, but less happy to do stuff like add 12 pages of javascript to resize the box. CSS: PHP Code: div.SinglePopUpBox { color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; background-color: #000000; position:fixed; z-index: 100; left: 15%; top: 15%; right: 15%; bottom: 15%; padding:0px; padding-bottom:31px; /* Made to match height of TopBar + Container margin + Container Border + this border */ } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar { background-color:#000000; background-image: url(Images/TopBar-Black.PNG); width:100%; height:26px; vertical-align:bottom; } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar div.CloseX { float:right; margin-right:5px; } div.SinglePopUpBox div.TopBar div.Title { font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; padding-top:5px; padding-left:10px } div.SinglePopUpBox div.Container { background-image: url(Images/BackgroundBlue.JPG); overflow:auto; height:100%; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px; margin-left:3px; margin-right:3px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; } Hi I have applied this style to a drop down. However, the font size only appears at 10px in FF and not IE. Any ideas why? <option style="font-family: Verdana; background: #E0EAF8; font-size: 10px;" value="link">link text</option> I am trying to get these 2 divs, which are going to be acting as a "tab" off of the main layout of the page. The first one for Personal is working and displaying correctly as far as I can tell, but something is wrong with my Business one. It doesn't seem to be taking any of my styles for displaying that tab correctly, either that or the position is totally off. If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've read previous posts and can't find the answer I'm looking for because it seems so basic. But here is my problem. I simply can't get the divisions to float left or right. They just sit on top of one another.

The title bit is ok. The problem is the main <div>. In Firefox l can't seem to get the two divs (grouptitle1 & grouptitle2) to float side by side. The only way l can do it is by setting grouptitle2 to a certain width. But l want grouptitle2 to fill the remaining width of the screen whatever size the browser is and not be a set width. Is there any way so that l can make the two divs appear side by side without adding a width to the grouptitle2?? here's a working version: Clicky I am new to CSS so bare with me if this is dumb, i have taken my page to the bare minimum trying to diagnose this. Mozilla Firefox does not seem to work with nested divs the way I think it should. IE7 works like a champ. I have a content area (mainpage) with a Vertical Navigation bar nested in it. I would expect the page to have a full background of coatedmetalsm.jpg since the mainpage is set to height: auto; But this only works in IE and Mozilla has no background. Can someone show me the error of my ways?

I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right. Code: <font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1> I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either Code: fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;} Thanks So when using Netscape 7.2 & Opera 7.5 and MSIE 6.0, How do you get a simple tag like body { font-size:small; } to be equal in all browsers? Setting IE Text Size to Medium, and Opera's Zoom to 100% (both defaults) and Netscape 7.2 to 120% (not the default) is one way, but is there a CSS way? By the way, the child element hack "body>div {property}" wasn't working no matter what I tried, by not working I mean to say Netscape never would read it or apply it. It appeared to be that Opera & IE need to read the same value while Netscape needs to apply a larger size to be equal to IE's and Opera's rendering. B Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code: <html> <body> <div style="float:right"> Hello there! </div> <hr> </body> </html> If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code: <html> <body> <div style="border: 1px solid #000; "> <div style="float:right"> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> </div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div> <hr> </body> </html> Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code: body { font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px; padding:0px; border: 0; line-height: 2; } #header { width: 802px; } #wrapper { width: 802px; margin:0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y; } #content { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #maingrad { background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x; padding: 10px; } #main { width: 589px; float: right; background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat; border-left: solid 1px #000; border-right: solid 1px #000; } #mainstop { width: 589px; float: right; background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat; border-left: solid 1px #000; border-right: solid 1px #000; border-bottom: solid 1px #000; font-size: 10px; } #sidebargrad { background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x; padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px; } #sidebar { width: 200px; float: left; background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat; line-height: 2; font-size: 14px; border-left: solid 1px #000; border-right: solid 1px #000; } I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. Alright, I've been working on my own custom border box for a while and I've almost got it, but it has a few problems still. How I do it is I have one div that contains it all (.box) that defines the height and width of the whole box. Then I have three boxRows to lay out the images, and then I define how three cells in each of those rows should behave, very much like how custom borders used to be done with tables. Here are the problems: In both firefox and internet explorer, the bottom row and the far right column actually appear OUTSIDE the .box containing box. There are two additional problems in internet explorer. First, the middle row handles the auto height differently and only expands about 10px instead of the height of the containing box. The second is that the whole middle row for some reason appears to be pushed to the right by about 16px. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code: HTML: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testBox.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <div class="boxRowTop"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowMiddle"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowBottom"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> </body> </html> And here is the layout css file: Code: /* Box classes */ .box { background: rgb(120,120,120); height: 200px; width: 500px; } .boxRowTop { height: 16px; position: relative; width:%100; } .boxRowMiddle { height: auto; width:%100; position: relative; } .boxRowBottom { height: 16px; width:%100; position: relative; } .boxCellLeft { height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 16px; } .boxCellMiddle { height: 100%; margin-left: 16px; margin-right: 16px; width: auto; } .boxCellRight { height: 100%; left: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 16px; } /* Define Cell Backgrounds/Images */ .boxRowTop .boxCellLeft { background: url(../LandingImages/topleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat; } .boxRowTop .boxCellMiddle { background: url(../LandingImages/top_border.png) repeat-x; } .boxRowTop .boxCellRight { background: url(../LandingImages/topright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat; } .boxRowMiddle .boxCellLeft { background: url(../LandingImages/left_border.png) repeat-y; } .boxRowMiddle .boxCellMiddle { background: rgb(255,255,255); } .boxRowMiddle .boxCellRight { background: url(../LandingImages/right_border.png) repeat-y; } .boxRowBottom .boxCellLeft { background: url(../LandingImages/bottomleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat; } .boxRowBottom .boxCellMiddle { background: url(../LandingImages/bottom_border.png) repeat-x; } .boxRowBottom .boxCellRight { background: url(../LandingImages/bottomright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat; } And last, the reset CSS, which I don't think has anything to do with the problems because if I take it out it still has them.

Thanks! Hello. I was wondering how I would go about doing this. I have a div, the left and right side of it is an image that I want the size to be able to be fluctuated, say, if the div goes larger than say 50 px, then it will start repeating and get larger. I have tried to start this already, but I havent had any luck. I also am not having any luck on getting the backgroun image to show. Anyone here know how I would make it to where my left or right side (border-right, border-left) will automatically resize if it is needed to go larger or get my background image to show? It's for a news conent box for my website I am coding, and I need it to go larger than just a set value. Thanks for your help. P.S. this is what I have so far Code: <div style="width:460; height: auto; border-right: url("images/border_right.gif"); border-left: url("images/border_left.gif"); background-image: url("images/content_content.gif"); background-repeat: repeat;"> News content will go here </div> Whats the best way to fix font size? I use CSS. The font size seems to stay fix on IE but not on Mozilla and Netscape. Also I notice when I use adgui font it stay fix no matter in what browser and no matter at what text view. Why is that. Are there more of this kinda fonts? Bottom line, whats the best way to fix the size of fonts regardless of browser and at what text view. Thanks for you help Liz People viewing my site at 120 dpi are seeing misaligned text and layout, whereas people viewing the site at 96dpi can see it properly. I'm using "em" instead of pixels when setting font sizes in CSS. The site has fixed length and width, do I HAVE to allow it to resize itself? We have > 400 products in our children's boutique in Infant Girl as an example. Right now, you click 1-20, 21-41, etc. to view them by 20. I'd like to give people a way to view all, but here's my problem. I use a horizontal looper asp program to show 3 colms and products and how ever many rows required to show 20. Behind this I use a white CSS box that looks like this. <span class="detailsboxlist"></span> There's nothing in it. I use layers to push it behind the products. How can I now make it dynamically scale to the view all (400+ products) which change all of the time? Thanks!!! Mike |
