CSS - Need Help With Three Column Layout
Hello,
I'm not new to the web, but a newbie in terms of CSS. Could someone check out the following page and css and let me know why the text is not being wrapped in the overall layout. In other words, why is it running over top of the page footer and not contained. http://www.brainfuelmedia.com/postscript/temp.html and the css is http://www.brainfuelmedia.com/postscript/ps_main.css Thanks for all help. This is driving me nuts. Similar TutorialsHey, 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? 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! 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-->
<div id="wrapper">

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hi, http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/search.asp has a two column effect. The CSS for it is he http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/css/screen.css I was wondering why if there is a table in the right hand column with a width percentage over 77% there is some horizontal scrolling? This happens in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Janusz Jasinski I am a HTML&CSS novice - I am trying to write a page using a three column layout but the column colour doesn't reach the footer. I understand that this is a common problem and I've looked at a lot of examples on the web of how to work around this or create a better layout but I'm still not sure enough to know which would be the easiest and best to go within the page I have written. I want to avoid images but other than that any help would be great! I have validated the HTML & CSS and they are copied below (could any advice be really specific, as I said this is very new to me!).

I'm new to CSS, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on this page: sugarhooker[dot]com/testing/index2.html *The CSS is included in the head The right column is suppose to start where it says 'Are you hooked...' It should be right underneath the navigation bar. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Hi, I'm trying to write a reasonably complex (I think) layout using CSS but I can't get it working. here is a mockup of what it should look like: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/sitelayout.gif I basically want the main content area to stretch to fit the content being displayed, and have the right column (in blue) to stretch the whole height of the page. The other three areas are a fixed width/height, although the bottom bar's position must change depending on how long the blue bar is (ie the bottom bar should always be inline with the bottom of the blue bar). Here's my attempt so far: http://andrew.estyles.com.au/site/test.html I can't get the bottom (red) bar to line up with the bottom of the blue bar. If I change the height of the content area, the blue bar does not move but the red bar does. This is the main problem. And also, the website does not display correctly in IE If someone could help me out with these issues I'd be grateful, thanks Okay, trying to use CSS to set up a simple three column layout. Here's what I would like: - An fixed, 800px wide column always centered horitontally, relative to browser window size - A collapsable left column and collapsable right column that fill out the page (these need to be seperate columns, technically, because I want to apply a different background image to each) I've done something like this before with "broken" code by doing something like... Code: <table width=100%> <tr> <td width=99%> </td> <td width=800> </td> <td width=99%> </td> </tr> </table> I know, this is really bad code. But hopefully it explains what I'm trying to do. Maybe someone can help me out using some simple CSS? Thanks! Well i am trying to have my directory script have 3 items per row. Currently using a horizontal list but as you can see from the below link it isn't work right. Wandering what the best way to do it would be? link -> http://www.gamingonlinux.info/category.php?cid=8 G'day again, Following on from my last post (as yet unanswered, see the Left and Right Image post below), I am still trying to complete the layout of my site using CSS and <div> tags. As can be seen in the pictu http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/...sitecopyfp2.jpg I have three columns underneath the headers. The width's of each column are fixed, but I want the heights to be the same, ie. that of the column with the most information, and the footer bar to be underneath. The current CSS for the column sections: Code:
#LeftCol
{
position: absolute;
top: 360px; left: 75px;
background-color: #a8b0b3;
width: 157px;
height: auto;
}
#CentreCol
{
position: absolute;
top: 360px; left: 232px;
background-color: #ffffff;
width: 536px;
height: auto;
}
#RightCol
{
position: absolute;
top: 360px; left: 768px;
background-color: #a8b0b3;
width: 157px;
height: auto;
}
and the HTML for the columns: Code:
<div id="LeftCol">
blah blah blah
</div>
<div id="CentreCol">
blah blah blah
</div>
<div id="RightCol">
blah blah blah
</div>
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers. Dear all I would like to be able to create a design with a text column and an image column. The text would be continuous in the left-hand column, and images would be displayed in the right-hand column. In other words, I would like to be able to use the following HTML: Code: <p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah <img src="test.jpg" /> blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2.</p> I would like the text to appear continuously in the left-hand column, while the image appears at the correct point, but in the right-hand column. In other words, I would like the left-hand column (assuming I fixed its width) to contain the output: Code: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2. While the right-hand column will have the image, its top lining up with where the text changes to 'blah2'. Any ideas? I realize the most difficult thing about asking this question is describing the visual layout I want to achieve. I shall try to draw a mock-up, and post a link to it in this thread. Many thanks in advance, Tom I've seen a lot of guides that demonstrate how to make a pure CSS two column layout so that if you have two different background colors, the columns will be the same height no matter which column is taller. However, I'm trying to create a border around the columns and found that these tricks don't work for that. The border only shows up around the content itself. How can I make it so that the border around both columns is as tall as the tallest column? I am creating a website for a synagouge and I am having trouble aligning the third column to the right of the other two. What I have now is he http://www.getabb.com/help/index.htm I want the Blue box on the bottom of the text to be displayed to the right of the text in the Pinkish area. If somebody could show me how to do this, I would appreciate it. Right now the site is only displayed correctly in IE but I will fix that later. Thanks in advance Is it possible to transform the following structu Code: <div 1> <div 2><div 3><div 4> </div 1> to this visual effect: Code: | div 2 (20 px) | div 3 (auto-adjust width) | div 4 (20px) | Now there would probably not be a problem if we knew the all mighty general width of the <div1>, but we don't, and still we want it this scheme to behave like this: Code: <table width="dynamic"> <tr> <td width="20"></td><td>flexible here</td><td width="20"></td> </tr> </table> So is there some way to do it with divs and css? Hi all, I would like to create a 3 column layout with the left menu, right menu & the content to have the same height always independently which is the longest like this example below. Also I have attached the HTML & CSS for your reference. How can I do this in CSS please? Thanks in advance ziffa27 Example: http://www.pixy.cz/blogg/clanky/css-3col-layout/ Code:

I already have a site up and in progress here, but on the utilities page there I want project descriptions on the right and screenshots/links in the left. I want the code in logical order an not use absolute positioning since that will ruin the automatic vertical pagestretch and require fetching exact coordinates. Ultimately there will be self-managed divs. The text needs to be aligned left to the buttons and the left content centered in its 'area' If this doesn't make sense I can try to explain it better or answer questions here. Oh hey, no URLs allowed for me. Ha. Okay... members.allegro.cc/felix-the-ghost/Utilities.html ^site^ Hi there, I am trying to use a 3 column css layout. It works fine in IE7, but the divs just appear under each other in FF. This is my css: PHP Code: #1_left { float:left; width:250px; background-color: #f6f6f6; } #1_right { float:right; width:250px; margin:0; padding:0; background-color: #f6f6f6; } #1_middle { margin:0 250px; background-color: #f6f6f6; } and this is my HTML: PHP Code: <div id="1_left">text</div> <div id="1_right">text</div> <div id="1_middle">text</div> Any ideas? At http://www.glish.com/css/7.asp there is a 3 column layout, I have taken it and put it all inside one containing <div>. I am trying to get the columns to have spaces between them, but they won't seperate without going to the bottom of the page. Here are the relevant styles: Code:
#main {

}
#rightcontent {
float:left;
width:180px;
height:400px;
background:#fff;
border:1px dashed #000;
}
The first and second columns separate but not the third Code: <div id="main"> <div id="banner"> <h1>TITLE</h1> </div> <div id="leftcontent"> <h1>leftcontent</h1> </div> <div id="centercontent"> <h1>centercontent</h1> </div> </div> <div id="rightcontent"> <h1>rightcontent</h1> </div> </div> Thank you [EDIT] Nevermind, after looking at the "Nested Float" example on glish, I just nested it and float:right. If anyone is interested here is the updated #rightcontent style (now called #main #rightcontent) Code:
#main #rightcontent {
float:right;
width:180px;
height:400px;
background:#fff;
border:1px dashed #000;
}
All you have to do is change the name and the float. Hello all. I have implemented a sort of 3 column layout on part of a site I'm working on: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>My site</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
#content {
line-height: 130%;
padding: 1em;
clear: both; } /* end #content */
#column_1 {
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
float: left;
background: red;
width: 33%; } /* end #column_1 */
#column_2 {
margin-left: 36%;
background: green;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
width: 25%; } /* end #column_2 */
#column_3 {
float: right;
background: blue;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
width: 33%; } /* end #column_3 */
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
font-size: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden; } /* end .clearfix:after */
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* Hides from IE5/Mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1px;}
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE5/Mac */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div class="clearfix">
<div id="column_1">
<p>Column 1</p>
<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>
<p>Line 3</p>
</div>
<div id="column_3">
<p>Column 3</p>
<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>
<p>Line 3</p>
<p>Line 4</p>
<p>Line 5</p>
<p>Line 6</p>
<p>Line 7</p>
</div>
<div id="column_2">
<p>Column 2</p>
<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>
<p>Line 3</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In FireFox and Safari, the colors line up but the text does not and in Opera the text lines up but the color does not. There's a rendering problem with IE that I will address later. The solution I would like to achieve would be to have the text and the colors lining up. What would be the best way to achieve this? |
