CSS - Css Width Attribute
I want to set a width for a div so that its left hand edge is at the left edge of the viewing window and its right hand edge is at a particular location in a centered layout and retains that width (ie it stretches) when the window is resized. A percent width will not achieve this.
Can anyone explain how it can be done? Similar TutorialsHave 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... Hi, Hopefully someone can help with this little problem. I've got a JavaScript menu ... // JavaScript start. document.write("<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='1' bordercolor='#999999' bgcolor='f5f5f5' width='100%'>"); document.write("<TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Body Lotion") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Shower Gel") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Soaps") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } // Menu Bottom. document.write("</TD></TR></table></td></tr></table>"); // JavaScript end. ...and associated CSS file... // css start. .MenuBackground { WIDTH: 110px; BACKGROUND: #f5f5f5; margin: 0; padding: 0; } a.MenuOn:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:hover { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c9c9c9; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOff:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } // css end. What I expect to happen is that when I scroll over the menu options the whole line should become highlighted. This works fine in IE, but for some reason it doesn't in Firefox. Firefox only highlights the text (as shown in the JavaScript code). Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong? url = http://www.natureshedgerow.com Thank you in advance PS. I've already fixed a few other problems I've found between IE and Firefox (hopefully this isn't a sign of poor worksmanship on my behalf ) Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6. Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have a header div with a background image - it's basically a pair of hands holding a banner - the arms extending to the sides of the window. I'm trying to work it so that, no matter how wide or thin the window, the arms will always extend to the sides. So when you make it smaller, the image will disappear beyond the viewing window. This happens automatically on the right-hand side, but the image is stopping it on the left. Is there a way to set a min-width, which is smaller then the image itself, so that when the window is shrunk the image starts to disappear on either side until it reaches the min-width? I'm trying to get it so the arms will disappear and stop at the hands. Or can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I tried to do it with background and header image, with the arms on the background, so when the top image moves it looks like the arms move with it. That worked great until I started using a patterned background. Full width: |---------------------------------------| |AAAAAAAAHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHAAAAAAAAA| |---------------------------------------| Shrunk width: ------- |------------------------| -------- AAAAAAA |AHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHA| AAAAAAAA ------- |------------------------| -------- Grey bit outside window edge. | Window side A Arms H Hands B Banner I hope that makes sense. I expect there's an easy solution but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and could do with someone else's perspective. Thanks. I'm using frames and I want all my anchors to launch in a separate frame. Right now I'm doing: Code: <a href="http://example.com" target="MAIN">example</a> Can I put something in my stylesheet that will automatically launch all links in the "MAIN" frame? Thanks. Attempting to inherit all main attributes of a column, and modifying few, what is the correct way to inherit/overwrite the attributes of col3 here ? Code: .col3, col3b {
float: left;
position: relative;
background: #FFFFFF;
width: 25%;
height: 80%;
left: 3%;
border-left: 1px solid #333;
margin: 3px 2px 4px 0;
}
.col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
Tried as well like: Code: .col3 {
}
.col3 .col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
note: not talking about a single 'inherit' value <div type="test"> I am interested in the type attribute. The reason is this... I have a Janus GridEx on my asp.net form and I want to add some css styles to it. There is no ID defined, nor a class of which I can inherit. I can't modify the code for this tag so I was hoping I could use the type attribute to identify this div in my css.... This is the code for the DIV I'm talking about: Code: <div type="4" style="position:relative;padding:0px 0px;width:100%;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:auto;"> Anyone has any experience with this? Thanks! Hi people, What is the equivalent of this div style attribute in css? <div style="overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 500px; height: 300px"> Its the overflow what I'm looking for. -just edited this that I have the solution sorry beginners corner Hi. I was developing a website . I decided to use float in order to align content on my webpage. Everything worked fine in IE but when I viewed page in NS then linkbar and main area that supposed to be aligned correctly, where collided together. The link to this webpage is: http://www.itcollege.ee/~rbomberg/hagerel/index.php If viewed in NS then you should notice that the links on the left are not aligned properly and main body text is also dislocated. The CSS file used for this website is available at: http://www.itcollege.ee/~rbomberg/hagerel/test.css Thanks for all the help. 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% } 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. |
