CSS - Adjusting Wrapper Div To Expand To Fit Content?
I have nested my content divs within a centered wrapper div. the wrapper div is controlled by an external css file. when content is added to the nested divs they grow outside of the wrapper div. is there a way to force the wrapper to grow with the content like tables do?
The CSS: #wrapper { margin-top: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; position: relative; width: 760px; background-color: #FFFFCC; left: auto; right: auto; height: 400px; z-index: 1; } The HTML: (attached) Similar TutorialsHey guys, I have been working on this for weeks and it is driving me nuts. I am trying to get the wrapper to expand to accomodate the content, but for some reason it wont expand. Any ideas? Here is the link: h$$p://digitallife.us/tutorials-t.html Thanks, Daniel hello genius people... please help this designer move more toward css after years of tables and images... I have a prob with ie 5 and 6 [not sure on 7] showing the content of a scrolling div outside of a containing frame. http://jodihelmer.com/portfolio.html and http://jodihelmer.com/journal.html the content in the scrolling frame shows up outside of the centered content. one possible fix I came up with is to increase the size of the divs at the edge and give them a background color. this seems to work. but, I also need to hide the content to thetop and left of the frame as well. is there a way to keep these divs within the centered wrapper while allowing them to expand to go to the edge of the browser window's relative size? or is there a better way to do this altogether? thanks so much. s Hey guys. I've gotten awesome help here before, so I decided to come back. Here is the web page I am trying to change (note-far from done. Don't laugh too hard): http://metroairvirtual.org/pilot_profile.php?pilot=1645 If you scroll down to "My Career History," you'll notice that (for example, the very first row of the table), it says "Email address updated from," and doesn't continue with the rest of the statement (gets cut off). I want to make it so I can scroll horizontally to view the whole statement by scrolling. I was successful by using the white-space: nowrap and then overflow-x: scroll. While that allowed me to do what I wanted, the actual DIV doesn't continue with the content, as shown in the shots below. Do you guys have any idea on how I can make the div style fill the scroll space? I can't really do a fixed width because history content varies from member to member and it is shorter/longer than others. Thanks for any help you can offer! If you need used code below that's fine, but I assume you can just use FireBug to inspect it. Thanks again! I searched for something I want but I didn't find exactly that, or maibe something is wrong but in IE the page does not look ok. What I want is to have my page looks identical in IE as in FF or OPERA. I will explain here how I done the code PHP Code: <td rowspan="2" width="600" align="left" height="100%" valign="top" > <div class="brand_list_big"> <div class="box_header" style="background-color:#79B602;">CARS LISTED BY BRANDS</div> <div class="box_content" style="width:560px;"> <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Audi</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 2</span></div> <div class="car_list"> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">audi tt</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> <span class="fleft"><a href="#">Saturn Sky Roadster</a></span><span class="fright"><img 1><img 2></span><br> </div> ... <div class="brand_list_header"><span style="float:left;"><strong>Alfa-Romeo</strong></span><span style="float: right;">Total Cars : 0</span></div> ... div.box_header { width: 99,5%; margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } div.box_content { margin: 0 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; height: 100%; scrollbar-face-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-highlight-color:#7098DF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color:#919AA4; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFCC00; scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF; } .brand_list_header { width: 99,5%; padding: 2px 0 2px 5px; background-color:#E3FEB1; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-bottom: 0 solid #CCCCCC; margin-top: 10px; overflow:auto; /* I added this now and in ff and Opera everithing is ok, but not in IE*/ } .car_list { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; background-color:#FFFFFF; clear:both; overflow:auto; } .fleft { float: left; margin: 2px 2px 2px 10px; clear:left; } .fright { float: right; } img.new_img { margin: 2px 10px 0 0 ; /*the img from my code( <img 1>, <img 2> ) have this class*/ } Any Ideea why in IE the divs are not ok ? First I tried to list the cars from a brand using <li> elements but I didn't know how to align the images ( icons ) at the right side, like are now. 10x in advance, waiting for a response see ya I've looked over a couple of answers and they didn't seem to help me. I have a css "container" box defined like so, containing another "content" box. I'd like the container's height to stretch to contain whatever is in the content box. #container { width: 720px; height:????????????????; margin: auto; text-align: left; position: relative; } #content { position: relative; left:125px; top: 105px; width:500px; border:0px solid #000; } with html like so: <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> The content always spills over, unless I set overflow, but that does not solve the problem. Hello, I'm working on a website for a client: http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/ http://evoxdesigns.com/rimlox/rimlox.css My current problem is getting the body to scale to 100% height. At the moment, it stretches to 100% of the browser window, which is great, but if if the content within all the nested divs expands to a height larger than that of the screen, the background does expand with it. In my troubleshooting, I gave the body a 1px border and found out that the body remains at the fixed size of the window even though the content within it expands. I tried messing with the overflow property, all to no avail. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this one. I'm a newbie to css. I'm trying to convert tables to css and having a bit of a tough time. Latest problem - create a window or container with a one line border with minimum height, say 600px, but the height will expand as the content grows. Any help? Thank you kindly! hi all ! I have some dynamic data that gets inside a cell in a table, the problem is that Im having problems to adjust the cell so the data can be seen more user friendly. The max width for the table is 1024 px. This is how it looks: Is there a way to make it look better using dynamic css,script,etc? Thanks a lot ! Hi and thank you in advance for any advice or help. my website: http://earlystartdc.com/ Im having trouble trying to find the right css code so that i can adjust the banner underneath the menu in order to remove the white spaces in the module. I would like for the banner to be at margin 0 so that its all the way to the top without any white space in between. any help?? Thank you P.s - This is what my css files look like from my template/css folder . Is it possible to setup a frame to adjust? I ran into a problem with my menu being on the left side of the screen in its own frame, when it expands it needs about twice as much space otherwise another frame on the right of this frame cuts off the text and buttons from the menu, (this frame is used to display documents inside of it.) Originally I did not think it would be a problem but I just realized that some of the documents need a lot of room horizontally do to images and descriptive frames being inside of the docs, thus causing the reader to have to keep scrolling from side to side in order to read the paragraphs. Is there some way to get the frame with the menu to adjust according to the size of the menu as the user mouses through it, or a way to make the menu float over the doc viewing frame as the user mouses through it and just make the menu frame big enough to fit the menu when it is not being used, or another alternative all together? Thanks for reading. Hello, I am having a problem with the aligning of m website. Whenever I view my website in a normal size window everything looks fine and in it's place. However when I full screen my browser window everything stays to the left, and my background repeats, nothing moves with the browser window. My question is how do I have everything on my webpage automatically adjust to the browser window? Thanks! Hi all, noob here. I am trying something pretty simple but just cant get it to work. For my site, I have a main content area and two right sidebars. I am trying to decrease the width of the the content area and widen the sidebars to fill the extra space created, say 50px. I have come unstuck trying to get it done though. Below is the relevant part of the css: Code: /* CONTENT layout */
#content {
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
.sidebar-double #content, .sidebar-left #content {
margin-left: -221px;
}
.sidebar-double #content, .sidebar-right #content {
margin-right: -271px;
}
.sidebar-right-double #content {
margin-right: -448px;
}
/* Add blanks left and right for the sidebars to fill */
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-left #squeeze {
margin-left: 221px;
}
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-right #squeeze {
margin-right: 271px;
}
.sidebar-right-double #squeeze {
margin-right: 448px;
}
/* Add whitespace to content area */
#squeeze {
padding: 1em 0 1.5em;
overflow: hidden;
}
.sidebar-double #squeeze, .sidebar-left #squeeze {
padding-left: 2em;
}
.rightbar #squeeze {
padding-right: 2em;
}
/* SIDEBAR layout */
#sidebar-wrapper .sidebar {
float: left;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
#sidebar-left {
width: 221px;
}
#sidebar-right-sec {
width: 200px;
padding: 1.2em 0;
}
#sidebar-right {
width: 248px;
padding: 1.2em 0;
}
.rightbar .top-corners {
right: -8px;
top: -3px;
padding-right: 8px;
position: relative;
min-height: 12px;
}
.rightbar .bottom-corners {
right: 0;
bottom: -4px;
position: relative;
min-height: 7px;
}
I have tried changing the content or 'squeeze' margins as its called and then just widening the sidebars but it just doesnt work. If anyone can help it would be great, thanks! This is my first OSCommerce site... Where do I adjust the color and size of the title font....the BIG one at the top of each page....is it an h1 tag? I can't seem to find it in the style sheet?? Hey guys, I started working on my website again and found a great CSS dropdown menu online that is free to use with a GPL license. I adjusted it without a problem (always could read and adjust code but aren't great when it comes to writing it). Now that I embedded it in my website there is a slight trouble I am running into. I can't seem to center it no matter what I try. I read these floats are tricky to center at times which is why I wanted to share my code with you and see if you might be able to fix it for me. If anyone of you can help me out it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks, alex Here is the site with the code.

in Dreamweaver, how do I change alignment of e.g subNavColumn div tag within wrapper Div Tag, I wish to align subNavColumn on left of page. Banner and NavBar extend across full page. I have been unable highlight layer to change properties, must a CSS Stylesheet be attached at outset, could this be part of my problem. Also how can I remove gap showing between layers in IE. I wish to contain all div tags together, Would appreciate help. Hi, My website is deployed at www.wecook.co.uk and i'm having problems with the gray background - i want it to be at least as long as the users page(without specifying a height) - how can i do this? the stylesheet can be seen at www.wecook.co.uk/wecook/wecook.css Any help is appreciated. Thanks Hi, I'm new to the forum and very new to CSS, so please excuse my ignorance or any stupid fundamental mistakes I have made. I have almost got what I need to work, but my wrapper and the leftshade and rightshade div heights will not work with the height of the page. If I set them to a preset pixel height, they're fine, but when I set them to auto they disappear. I need them to be able to scroll to whatever the length of my content is going to be. I could really use some advice on how to sort this. Many thanks in advance. Code:

I'm looking to basically replicate the design of Engadget. Not entirely, just the real basic design of it. I'm trying to figure out how to use 4 different images (a right header, left header, left footer, right footer) to construct a site that resizes in different browsers to look good. How do I do this? I'm familiar with CSS and html. I want to make the images in Fireworks and slice them, but after I do that and have the html how do I do things like using a wrapper? Thanks for any help you can offer. I just noticed an issue I'm having related to the content on almost all the pages on my site. I have the code below for the body and the #page div. The #page div is supposed to be like a wrapper that encompasses everything. I just tried putting in a border (border: 1px solid #FFFF00 for the #page div so I could see how everything lined up within it (since I have the same background-color for the body and the #page div I can't normally see this). When I added this yellow border, I found only one page where the border went around everything. On all the other pages, the border seems to either not close or to only go around the content near the top of the page or to go around nothing. I think this means that all the code that I have in the #page div is not being applied to most of the content on each of those pages. I'm having a hard time understanding why that border I inserted does not go all the way around everything (why the #page div does not seem to be including everything). I have the div properly closed at the bottom of the page (</div></body></html>) and this is even happening on pages where I have no validation errors. body { background-color: #000000; margin: 0px; } #page { width: 960px; font-size: 14px; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; color: #26D578; background-color: #000000; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 16px; } Hello all, I've looked all over the place but cannot seem to find anywhere that explains how to add a footer to a CSS page. Basically i have a wrapper div, which is set to 100%, and within this I'd like a footer which would be alligned to the bottom of the wrapper. I just cannot seem to do it. Would it be a case of creating a new box, and having it aligned to 'bottom'? |
