CSS - Expanding Layout
Hi all,
I have a site where I have several divs that stack on top of each other for layout purposes and they fill the entire width of the screen. In the div that contains the content, I'm finding a rare case where a table appears that's so wide, it is off the edge of the content element. I wanted to do overflow:auto so that it wouldn't mess up the layout but the customer wants the layout to expand with the content. Since all these divs sit on top of each, they aren't really interacting with the div that has the content in it. Is the only way to make those expand to use JavaScript to detect the width and adjust on the fly or is there a better way to do it? I'll be happy to supply some code if you all need me to but its a lot so I'll hold off on that for now. Similar TutorialsHey there everyone. (First time posting!) I was wondering if i could ask your assistance.. I am very close with my new css layout for a project I am working on but i have one small thing that is bugging me... Click here to view the page: URL now.. the problem is, when the content in the main "white" window expands the green div behind does not... also the footer gets covered up... This will cause me problems, ideally i would like it to push the green and the footer down as the content expands via either the browser window shrinking or just having more content in the white center div.... Check out this to see what is happening when there is more content in the white center to see what i mean: URL Link to my css: URL Thank you so much in advance for your suggestions tips and feedback... Right now I'm trying to work a layout so that it'll stay a preset width unless there's overflowing unbroken content, and then I want it to stretch horizontally (as opposed to just running off the content edge with overflow:visible or scrolling inside the div with overflow:scroll). Min-width gets me to the width of the viewport (but that doesn't help me with the preset width - because there's enough text to go wider than the min-width, it'll go wider - I only want it to stretch if there's unbroken content), but then the divs stop at the edge of the viewport. Basically I'm trying to replicate table behavior. Code:

Thanks! I created a simple 2 column layout, by using floats. The problem I am running into with this layout, is when the right column's height expands; the left column's height does not expand. What do I need to do, to my code; too make both columns expand the to the same height; regardless of how much content is in each side?

was over 1600px wide. This box worked great with the screen res but now I'm trying to put content in it and my content is not expanding the box down. Instead of pushing the box lower and forcing a scroll bar.

I have started creating a new DIV layout for my website but can't seem to get it to function correctly. I finally got the DIVs to expand with whatever content is in them, but now they will only span to the height of the window and hide the rest of the content instead of expanding further and just making the IE window scroll. Maybe one of you guys can help me out? Here is the test page: well apparently I can't post the url, so I guess I'll just "say" it. juicyart dot net / test.html Hello. Trying to construct a page with vertical expansion on both of two nested DIVs. Left column is primarily text which varies in length. Right column is a navigation/contact panel that is mostly fixed height, but want ability to drop in objects and expand vertically on some pages. I have tried to background image in container DIV, but I am still getting the content breaking out of the bottom of the DIV. Any other approaches? Min-height (could not get that to work either). Ideally I would like for these to have the same height. Not shading, so it doesn't need to be exact. Here's a sample of code (w/o all the junk). Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE..

ad = rightnav.inc Hi, I am trying to make a website for a friend that scales to fit most monitors. The website is very image heavy and I have a navigation bar on the left side that lines up with the background on the right. I haven't made a webpage for awhile so I don't know a lot about CSS. This is what I have so far. It almost works, but the background on the right will not expand to fit the full div, only goes up to the content that I put inside the Div. The background also doesn't appear to shrink when I scale the window size. HTML CODE: Code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <div id="sample-container" align="center"> <div id="header"> <img src="images/header.jpg" width="1647" height="147" / id="headerbar"></div> <div id="nav"> <img src="images/navbar.jpg" width="413" height="776" / id="navbar"></div> <div id="content"> <img src="../../../Pictures/Misc/101_0138.JPG" width="527" height="428" /> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> CSS CODE: Code: #header
{
height: auto;
background-color: #666;
}
#nav
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: auto;
background-color: #999;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#content
{
float: left;
width: 75%;
height: auto;
background: url(images/mountain.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer
{
clear: both;
height: 50px;
background-color: #666;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#headerbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
#navbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
If anyone knows a way to expand the background to fill the div and scale down when the div scales is size, that would be great. I was also thinking that maybe I could put the the navigation bar and the background image on the page and not as an background. Put those both in a div and have a floating div on the right aligned over the top of the background that contains the page content. If anyone could give any help with a solution it would be appreciated. Thanks. I think that this is something really basic but I just haven't been able to put my finger on the problem. Can someone please point me in the right direction? In IE 6 the cell background (as defined in CSS) or the table cell size is not correct, but it looks fine in FF. The test page is: http://www.kdays.com/box/kerrin.htm Hey guys, I've got a two column layout, and I want both columns to be the same height inside the wrapper. Ussually when I do this sort of thing I have a repeating background image or something so it makes it appear they are both the same height, except this template is using rounded corners, so a repeating background won't work. Code: #wrapper{
width:962px;
margin: 25px auto;
}
#mainContent{
width:735px;
background-color: #F4FEFE;
padding:0px;
border:0px;
float:left;
}
#rightColumn{
background-color: #F4FEFE;
width:207px;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
}
Click here to see what I'm talking about... I want that right column to match the height of the main content div. Would this only be possible using JavaScript or is there a CSS solution? hi, Im making a site, and i decided to use CSS instead of tables. I have used basic CSS before, but it gets abit harder when i start making boxes etc. Here is my code so far - layout.css - (one that gets included on each page) Code: @import "style.css";

Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I want to have a CSS layer that is a certain height, unless the content exceeds this height, in which case the layer will automatically expand. I have already done this before so that part is not the problem. The problem is I want to have another layer under this one. You will not be able to see this second layer if the content on the first layer does not exceed the pre-determined height of the first layer (it will have a different z-index). But I will have the background on the first layer set to no-repeat so that when the first layer is automatically expanded, you will see the second layer, which has a different background (that is its only purpose). However, I'm not sure how to make it so the second layer also expands automatically along with the first layer. Can someone help me? I hope this made sense. Hello, Is there a way to stop an expanding page at a certain width? But yet keep the expanding feature? Right now as you can see from the below website that I am working on the page contracts and the images of course stay at there minimum width but the rest of the page keeps contracting...I don't like it doing that. Any ideas? web.bpro.com/agagency/index.htm I am just being scripting and have been messing with this problem for several hours and still have gotten no where at all so I was hoping for some assistance. I am attempting to make my stacked links open upon mouseover to display all the sublinks beneath the main ones and then close one the mouse is moved away from that area. I have the main ones working, as that is easy, it is those others that have me stumped. I am using outset and inset boarders to make it appear as if a drawer is being pulled out to reveal the sub-links. Any advice would be great, thank you. Hi, I'm working on a website with a header and footer. I want the footer to sit at the bottom of the page even when the content is shorter than the page. I got that to work but can't seem to get the content div to stretch to meet the footer. The background color is different so I need it to stretch down the page.

Hey gang, I'm sure this has been asked many times, but i cannot find the words to search for this. Luckily, I'm sure it is a quick fix. I'm not great with CSS, but I feel I have a strong understanding. However, I must not completely understand divs, because when I try to add padding to this "right content" div, it pushes itself behind the footer div (the bright green box): The box on the left is the "left-content", the box on the right is "right-content." Each of the boxes are floated left and right, respectively, and they are both in a "container" div that centers them. How can I make the footer div just be pushed down with content is added to either the right/left-content div? I can add a bunch of "<br />s after the last bit of content, and the footer moves down, but I feel it is cleaner to just add 20x padding. Any help is greatly appreciated! |
