CSS - How To Make Center Div The Same Height As The Rest Of The Page.

I'm currently creating a simple website using css and its looks fine in IE however the nav bar is not aligned with everything else in Firefox. Sorry i'm new at CSS, thanks for the help in advance.

Here is the site: insightchirocare.ca

Here is the css code:

A:link {

}
A:active {
text-decoration: underline; color: #18fa07;
}
A:hover {
text-decoration: underline; color: #18fa07;
}

Floats always cause me some consternation. This one sort of works, except for the border and the padding/margin (which may be related to the border issue). I've only checked this on FF on a Mac so far, btw.

Right now the divs do float, but the left side of the border is a million miles away. Solving the border issue might take care of the padding/margin between #caravan and #rally (right now each tweak does nothing).

Also, is it possible to get the text at the end to flow under the property changes box? Probably not, as I set a width of 65%, but that was the only way I knew to get the two boxes to float up...I guess I'd have to make that last paragraph its own div to get the text to go all the way across?

The page I'm trying to figure out is here and the relevant CSS is

#caravantop {
background-color: #ffefca;
margin: 0;
padding: 1.2em 2% 0 2%;
}

#caravan {
float: left;
width: 63%;
background-color: #ffefca;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 2% 0 2%;
}

#rally1 {
padding-right: .1em;
border: 1.2px #775b36 solid;
margin-right: .5em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

#rally1 h4 {
margin-bottom: .6em;
}

#rally1 p {
font-size: .7em;
padding-bottom: 0;
margin: .6em;
}

#rally1 ul {
list-style-image: url(../images/icons10_webpage.gif);
list-style-type: circle;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: .7em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
margin-left: 2.5em; }

#rally1 li {
margin-bottom: .4em;
margin-left: 1.7em;
}

#rally1 li.lastli {
margin-bottom: 2.5em;
}

/*#rally1 ul.nohouse {
list-style-image: none;
list-style-type: none;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: .8em;
margin-bottom: .3em;
margin-left: 0;
}*/

#rally2 {
padding-right: .1em;
border: 1.2px #775b36 solid;
margin-right: .5em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

#rally2 h4 {
margin-bottom: .6em;
}

#rally2 p {
font-size: .7em;
padding-bottom: 0;
margin: .6em;
}

#rally2 ul {
list-style-image: url(../images/icons10_webpage.gif);
list-style-type: circle;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: .7em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
margin-left: 2.5em; }

#rally2 li {
margin-bottom: .4em;
margin-left: 1.7em;
}

#rally2 li.lastli {
margin-bottom: 2.5em;
}

It seems I get one or the other, but not all.

Hello everybody!

I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. 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.

I actually have two problems...

Installing hte firebug plugin for firefox may ease helping me out...

The problem is with http:// kthxbai2u<dot>com

I cant for the life of me center the "content" div. I have tried every method I found on the first 4 pages of Google. The only thing I can think of is that it is inheriting something wierd or I am missing something simple...

The second problem, I can't seem to make the left and right side bar expand to meet up with the footer wayy down at the bottom of the page. I want that div to make a column the whole way down.

If anyone can help me out, it would be more than appreciated!

Thanks

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

Code:

#container {
	margin: auto;
 	width: 100%;
 	display: block;
	text-align: center;
	height: 100%;
}

#middle {
	text-align: left;
	margin: auto;
	width: 600px;
	height: 100%;
	background-color: #FFF;
}

#main {
	margin: auto;
	background-color: #FFF;
	border-left: solid black 1px;
	border-right: solid black 1px;
	width: 650px;
	height: 100%;
	cell-padding: 0px;
	cell-spacing: 0px:
}

I can't get the white part to be 100% height... I need it to go to the bottom of the page... Please help...

i have 2 divs

one is a navigation bar, the other is the pages main contents.

the contents and navigation links changes from page to page so i need a method so if the content is long, the navigation will stretch down long too to be the same height of the content, and the same thing vice versa.

how do i go about doing this?

How do I get the 'results' div to be 100% in height ?

The page height changes depending on the page being shown so need to have the height of the div to be 100%, but using 100% for the div does not make it 100% !

Any ideas how I do this ?

I'm not so CSS savvy, can anyone help me with the specific changes needed here that will force the 3 columns to load height at 100% or full column height?

Also is it possible to have multiple content boxes loading one above the other in the left and right columns instead of one long content box?

I'm having trouble getting the height to be the same for two divs. One is a big content area (left) and the other is a vertical menu (right) that is created dynamically with PHP. I need the bottom of both divs to line up UNLESS there is a lot of content in the left div that makes the left side taller. (So, if there's not much text in the left content area, it should go ahead and line up with the bottom of the menu.) Is this possible? I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Code:

#content {width: 750px;height: 100%;position: relative;margin: 10px 25px 0 25px;}

/*BEGIN LOCATION PAGES MINIMUM HEIGHT STYLES*/
/* for Mozilla/Safari/Opera */
*>.boxContent {padding-top: 900px;min-height: 1px;}
*>#locDoctors, .locInfoMap {margin-top: -900px;}
/* for IE, with IE5/Mac backslash filter \*/
* html .boxContent {height: 900px;}
/* end filter */
/*END LOCATION PAGES MINIMUM HEIGHT STYLES*/

/*BEGIN LOCATION BOX*/
#locationBox {background-image: url(../images/location/pgBotLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 614px;height:810px;position: relative;background-position: bottom;background-color: #DDF0F2;}
#locationBox .boxTop {background-image: url(../images/location/pgTopLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 100%;height: 20px;}
#locationBox .locInfoMap {width: 100%;height: 408px;background-image: url(../images/location/mapLarge.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: top right;}
#locationBox .boxBot {background-image: url(../images/location/pgBotLocation.gif);background-repeat: no-repeat;width: 100%;height: 15px;}
/*END LOCATION BOX*/

/*LOCATION MENU START*/
#locationMenu {width: 136px;position: absolute;z-index: 10;right: 0px;}
#locMenuList {margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 9px;list-style: none;}
#locMenuList li {margin: 0;padding: 0;display: inline;}
#locMenuList li.main {height: 30px;height /**/: 30px;/* for IE5/Win only */ }
#locMenuList li.sub {height: 20px;height /**/: 20px;/* for IE5/Win only */ }
#locMenuList li a {text-decoration: none;color: #FFFFFF;}
#locMenuList li.locHead {display: block;margin: 0;padding: 10px 9px 9px;font-weight: 900;color: #FFFFFF;}
...
/*LOCATION MENU END*/

Code:

<div id="content"><!--CONTENT SECTION START-->
   PHP MENU IS CREATED HERE...
   <div id="locationBox"><!--OPEN BOX-->
      <div class="boxTop"></div>
      <div class="boxContent">

Hi,

I have a front page which is one image only, no text. The image is centered horizontally (i.e. a simply text-align: center; ). My question is - how do I centre it vertically? (no matter what the resolution of the website visitor is).

i.e. Currently the image is at the top of my screen. I would like it to be in the centre, both horizontally and vertically.

Many thanks!

How do you make a container div aware of the height of floated divs nested inside?

I have 2 floated divs, which are contained within a container div. The container has a background image that I need to tile vertically.

In FF the image does not tile unless I specifiy a height for the container other than auto. I don't want to set it to 100% because when I do, the container div extends much further than I intend it to.

Here is the link to the site with the problem.

CSS
Code:

 /* CSS DOCUMENT */
html, body {
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
  font: 10px Verdana, Arial, Halvetica;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  background: url(../images/bdy_back.jpg) #252525 no-repeat center;

#container {
  width: 938px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  text-align: left;
  height: auto;
  opacity: .90;
  filter: alpha(opacity=90);
  background: url(../images/middle2.jpg) repeat-y right #444444;
}
#lcol{
  float: left;
  width: 15%;
  height: auto;
}

#right {
  float: right;
  width: 85%;
  height: 100%;
}


}
 

HTML
Code:

<div id="container">
  <div class="hdr">

	<div id="officer" style="display: none;"></div>
  </div>
  <div id="lcol">
   
  </div>
  <div id="right">
    
  </div>
</div>
<div id="footer">

</div>

The situation is very simple:

Code:

<div id="maindiv" style="border:1px solid #000000; width:400px; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
    <div id="reddiv" style="border:1px solid #FF0000; width:150px; float:left;">
        red box<br>
        red box<br>        
        red box<br>
        red box<br>
        red box<br>        
        red box<br>                
	</div>

    <div id="greendiv" style="border:1px solid #00FF00; margin-left:170px; width:100px;">
        green box<br>
        green box<br>
        green box<br>
        green box<br>        
	</div>
</div>  

AS you can see, I have a main div. Inside it, I have 2 divs:
red and green. If I enter text into the green div, the main div resizes automatically. But if I enter text into the red div, the main div doesn't resize, and so the red div overflows.

What I need is either enter text in the red or green divs and make the main div to auto resize.

(I'm using Mozilla FireFox)

Any Idea?
