CSS - Height Attribute For Div Layer
I'm quite fluent in xhtml, css, and other crap...but I'm not sure why this doesn't work ->
the height attribute is set to a percentage, yet it doesn't work...I know its acceptable i checked the css reference. view source on this Validated xhtml strict 1.01 EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT... I NEEDED TO PUT THIS html, body { height:100% ; width:100% } Similar TutorialsI am working on aligning a pricelist with product and price. The procuct is on the left, and the price should align to the right on the same line. When I try to use float: right in the div for the price it jumps down a line, if I use text-align right in a relative devision it also jumps doen a line. I also tried adding align:right to the b tag. Any ideas how to get this done? I am trying to avoid tables. Thanks Having a little trouble. I'm creating a horizontal nav menu with a bg image for each li, but can't seem to get the height set for the li in css. Using this code: Code: nl#navBar { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } nl#navBar li{ list-style-type: none; display: inline; } nl#navBar li a:before { content: url(../images/navbutton_left.gif); } nl#navBar li a:after { content: url(../images/navbutton_right.gif); } nl#navBar li a{ text-decoration: none; background-repeat: repeat-x; background: url(../images/navbutton_bg.gif); } nl#navBar li a:hover{ text-decoration: none; background-repeat: repeat-x; background: url(../images/navbutton_bg_hover.gif); } I have tried several different variations of code putting height attributes and displays as block, but no combination seems to work. Have a look at this code. Why is the background not showing up as the appropriate pixel sizes? PHP Code: <html> <head> <title>CSS Testing</title> <style type="text/css"> .test-height { width:200px; height:108px; background-color:yellow; } #test { width:200px; height:108px; background-color:red; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="test-height"><p>This should be 200px high and 108px wide.</p></div> <br /><a href="#" class="test-height">Click Me (This should be 200px high and 108px wide.)</a> <div id="test"><p>This should be 200px high and 108px wide.</p></div> <br /><a href="#" id="test">Click Me (This should be 200px high and 108px wide.)</a> </body> </html> Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, CH... Hello I thought I could make it, but what I got so far is jumping over the screen, so please a need some help. I got a image with two transparant shapes. Behind those shapes I would like to show 2 other images. |-------1-------| | |-----| |----| | | |...2..| |..3..| | | |____| |____| | |_____________| Image 1 should be on top z-Index Image 2 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. Image 3 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. Now the issue, image 2 and 3 should be dynamically replaceable. Please help Thanks Hi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem?

I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. Hello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Three Columns</title> <style type="text/css"> *, html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 100%; } html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; } #maincontainer { position: relative; height: 100%; background: #eee; } #left { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 200px; background: #fbb; height: 100%; } #mid { position: relative; margin: 0 200px 0 200px; background: #efe; height: 100%; } #right { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 200px; background: #bbf; height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="maincontainer"> <div id="left"> left start<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left end<br /> </div> <div id="mid"> mid start<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid end<br /> </div> <div id="right"> right start<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right end<br /> </div> </div> </body> </html> In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code: div.divBox1 { width: 286px; height: 359px; float: left; } div.divClearFloat { clear: both; height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */ font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */ } div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1 { width: 575px; height: 3px; background-color: #ff0000; font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */ } Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto { border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #000000; height: 150px; width: 750px; } #bannerPic { position: relative; z-index: 1; left: 0px; top: 0px; } #bannerText { position: relative; z-index: 2; left: 0px; top: -150px; } And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. Hi Guys, Basically I'm having trouble with getting the 'Content' div layer to wrap around the switching div layers. The grey background colour represents the 'Content' div layer which wraps around the button menu OK but doesn't wrap around the layers which switch. The bodged way of doing it is to have a fixed height but then it leaves a blank area underneath the divs that are short of text...If you get what I mean? Code: <div id="content_test"> <div id="rollovercontentwrapper"> <div id="tabwrapper"> <ul id="tabmenu"> <li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentOne('TabContentOne')">Summary</p></a></li> <li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentTwo('TabContentTwo')">Benefits</p></a></li> </ul><!--TABMENU--> </div><!--TABWRAPPER--> <div id="TabContentOne" class="TabContentOne" style="visibility: hidden"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Many thanks, Mark Hi. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to cut down on my image sizes on my website: http://toptiertemplates.com, but i am having a few difficulties. I have this table which was created in photoshop which is off to the side. I would like to take just a slice of the table and repeat the image the full length of the table's original length. The page is written by placing everything with divs. I know how to set the image as a background and all and repeat it, however, when i do so, it replaces my website's background and just shows up as a white space. So i am wondering if I have to use layers of some sort or anything else. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks. I've been re-designing my site in valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS, and I've hit a bit of a problem.... Everything works perfectly in Firefox, but IE isn't liking things at all. The navbar at the left should stretch all the way to the bottom image, but it isnt having it. I've tried messing with it for about an hour now, and can't fix it.... The page can be found at URL and the stylesheet at URL Oh, and I know the colours are all messed up, I'll fix that later :P Edit: Fixed bbCode I have a webpage located at http://www.niu-sae.com I have a drop down menu image, in a div layer that will pop up when you roll over the first link "Active Chapter". First of all the positioning is all weird... when I am at full screen I have to set the div left at 285... even though it is really only about 116. any idea what I am doing wrong? Second even when I get it lined up... the way it is now... it changes if you resize the window. HELP. please. Hi! Does anybody have some great link or book advice about all the properties of the DIV and/or LAYER - tags? Inspiring examples with javascript to this are also welcome. I will use it to build advanced layer functionality. Regards Bjorn |
