CSS - Applying Minimum Width To A Web Page

Hello!

I'm working on a website right now and have sort of dived in further than I understand conditional CSS.

The website is he

www.kekoz.com

I have that little menu in the upper right and the info in the lower right.

I like those being fixed so when the user scrolls they are always up there. But I can't figure out how to make them stop from colliding with the main pictures when you change the height of the page.

Any help would be grand!

Right now they're position super simple:

Code:

#links{ position:fixed; top: 20px; right:20px; width:300px; }

Code:

#info_box{ position:fixed; bottom: 25px; right:10px; width:550px; }

I tried to set a minimum height on them, but I think that would have to do with some sort of a container around them. Or maybe I'm just going about it all wrong.


Also a couple other things I'm sort of thinking. I would like the "Scroll this way" thing to always be centered between the lower edge of the pictures and the bottom of the window. Not %100 sure how to get that set up.

And the last thing I'm thinking for this page, which I'm not sure is all CSS would be to have the "scroll this way" thing actually fade based on the scroll position. I think this might be Jquery but thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone had any advice.

On http://www.h****inson.co.uk/h****inson5.4 (I guess you can work out the name of the site...I've used a tiny-url in the link though) a horizontal scrollbar is displayed even though there is not content (as far as I can see) that is pushing the sides out this far.

Although it is not detremental to the website, can anyone please suggest what is wrong.

The main css code is at http://www.h****inson.co.uk/h****inson5.4/files/css.css

Thanks for any help.

Hi

I don't know if this is a CSS issue, but how do you allow limit the movement of web pages when you drag IE window.

So if its fixed it can be structured so that it can be seen by users who have a resolution of 800 X 600.

And if its not fixed, then the page is stretched when you enlarge the window.

Cheers

I am trying to build a website and am having problems limiting the width. I need it to go a little something like this ....I need the page width to be limited to 800 pixels so the contents stops on that ?boundary

I am trying to update an old site with lots of pages, I am trying to create a printing stylesheet (first time as you may guess) I have managed to exclude what I do not want to print but some text is still running off the RHS of the page.

I have tried playing with page widths and margins but to no effect, any suggestions? this is what I currently have:

TBODY {
position: static;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Greetings,

I am writing a page that uses CSS to currently place three columns, left, center, and right. I have written the graphics and remainder of the page to fit 1024 x 768. However, when I execute the page, my columns fill the entire resolution (for instance 1280 x 1024) rather than fitting into a 1024 width.

What I would like to do is constrain my three columns to a total width of 1024px. The three columns in my CSS look something like this:

Code:

#leftcol {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bolder;
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px;
	padding: 4px;
	width: 220px;
	position: absolute;
	height: 280px;
	left: 1px;
	top: 354px;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#centercol {
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px 240px;
	padding: 4px;
}
#rightcol {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	border: thin none #EF4138;
	margin: 4px;
	padding: 4px;
	position: absolute;
	height: 280px;
	width: 220px;
	top: 354px;
	right: 1px;
}

Is there a CSS command that can constrain these three columns to be only 1024, or must I use an HTML table?

Thanks,
Korky

I was experimenting this weekend with some CSS 'page-sculpting', using small divs to make shapes, etc.

I used FireFox as my testbed and of course everything went smoothly. I switched over to IE6 and saw that every div had a minimum height-it looked like 1em.

I specified height and width on all <div>. Some used borders, some did not. An example would be:
PHP Code:
<div style="height:2px; width:3px; background:green" ></div> 





Has anyone else come across this or know of a fix? I haven't tried <span> or other tags (I will...just thought of that), tho I suspect they'll behave the same.

Any help appreciated.

I'm a newbie to css. I'm trying to convert tables to css and having a bit of a tough time.

Latest problem - create a window or container with a one line border with minimum height, say 600px, but the height will expand as the content grows.

Any help? Thank you kindly!

Hello,

I am having a problem getting the section that says WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY to span the entire right side of the page. I would like to set it up so that no matter what screen resolution the page is viewed in, that section will stretch all the way to the right side.

Any suggestions?

Thanks ahead of time!

I have a layout that has text in a left div and the form input in the right. I want the form input to be 100% width of DIV.standard_field_right not 100% width of the entire page. Can someone give me a hint please.

CSS and XHTML below:

PHP Code:
 DIV.standard_field_container {
width: 98%;
padding: 0.4em;
border: 1px solid #8B8B8B;
background-color: #E2E2E2;
overflow: hidden;
}

DIV.standard_field_left {
width: 10em;
float: left;
margin-right: 5em;
font: bold 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

DIV.standard_field_right {

}

SPAN.standard_field_type_info {
font-weight: normal;
color: #ff0000;
border-bottom: 1px dashed #ff0000;
cursor: help;
}

INPUT.input_text_field {
width: 30em;
} 





XHTML:

PHP Code:
<div class="standard_field_container">
    <div class="standard_field_left">
        <span class="standard_field_name"><?php echo $field_definition[1]; ?></span>
        <span class="standard_field_type_info" title="<?php echo $field_definition[7]; ?>">Information</span>
    </div>
    <div class="standard_field_right">
        <span class="standard_field_input_area"><input name="<?php echo $field_definition[0]; ?>" type="text" id="<?php echo $field_definition[0]; ?>" maxlength="<?php echo $field_definition[10]; ?>"<?php if ($value_applies == '1') { ?> value="<?php echo $row["$field_definition[0]"]; ?>" <?php } ?> class="input_text_field" /></span>        
    </div>
</div> 

I'm using this html:

Code:

<div id="titlebox">
      <div id="title">
        <img src="images/title.png" alt="Garden Pub & Grille" />.
      </div>
</div>

with this css:
Code:

html, body {
  font-family: Century Gothic;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #DEF9FA;
  height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  top: 0px;
  position: relative;
}

body > #container {
  height: auto;
  min-height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
}

#titlebox div  {
  background-color: black;
  position: absolute;
  min-width: 100%;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-right: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  height: 64px;
  z-index: 1000;
}

#title div {
  width: 1000px;
  background-color: black;
}

Trying to get a black bar across the top with an image centered in it. Problem is, when the page is smaller than the content and there is a horizontal scrollbar, the black bar only goes to the edge of the window, but when you scroll right, it dissapears and is cut off. I have a similar setup on the bottom of the page that works correctly (a table with links is inside that one). Why is this not working? Thanks.

URL
Image doesn't seem to be showing up, link:
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5697/29946518.png

is it possible?

its the banner...

the content spans around 1000 pixels wide so with 100% width i miss a piece when i scroll to right of page

just making the body around 1000 pixels seems to get a horizontal scrollbar when its not needed for the content....either that or its just missing some pixels...

cant a div be 100% of the page?

I'm trying to set a background image that spans from edge to edge in my browser window. Currently, I have everything set up and positioned as I'd like, but the image stops just short of reaching the very edges of the browser window on the left and right sides. The image itself is 2000px wide, so that various browser widths show the continuation of the image.

You can see the problem I have at URL Notice the blue lines on either side aren't quite making it to the edge of the browser.

The relevant CSS is located at URL The .main div at the bottom is the one with the background image code.

Thank you for any help offered.

I don't mind telling yall, I'm a bit hesitant to post here, only because I'm very new to html and css, just learning. Folks here are far above my ability, I've got many of the pages on site bookmarked for reference.

I'm taking this plunge because I'm ready to rip hairs one by one on a problem.

I have a friend who originally made a site in a builder program *shudders* and he has asked me to convert it to more conventional pages (he's determined to keep this theme and I'm not good enough to remake the entire site by hand yet). This program created every thing on the pages as a Div with css styling embedded in the document.

Ive got everything working perfectly except that I can not for the life of me get the Div.banner to stretch the width of pages in order for it to span the width of any resolution.
What I'm trying to do is simply (or should be) make a 93px by 3 or 4 px bar repeat the length of the div. Here is the code its using at this time.

Code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
DIV.banner { position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:0; }
....</STYLE>

<DIV class="banner"><IMG SRC="images/vbar.PNG"  WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=93 BORDER=0></DIV>

The above works but its a fixed width and I would like it to be full width no matter what resolution ones using.

I have tried making the Div class="banner" use a width=100%.
This causes the image to be shown at top=0 and left=0 once only. I tried adding background-repeat repeat-x to the css code. Any other changes I make like removing the Width from the Div class all together causes it to just go away.

I've been able to manipulate everything else from this horrible theme fine except this. I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing and if you need to see more of the index page code just let me know (its not online at this time). I didn't want to put in too much stuff and being such a n00b at all this, I'm learning so be gentle with me..

Thanks in Advance

I'm having a serious brain fart here...I must have come across this issue a million times before but I guess I haven't thought about it for so long, that I'm at a loss....

Very simply, I want to have a horizontal menu using text (ie not images) that will fill to fit the width of the page. Now I'd want to make there be a min-width and I can do that, but there's got to be a way to have the padding between the items adjust depending on how wide the browser is, right? And I should be able to do this with CSS and not have to use tables right? In other words, the width of the individual menu items will remain the same, but in a browser that's say 800px wide the space between the first item will be very near the left side of the page, and the last item will be very near the right side of the page and the items will be spaced evenly between them. But if the page is 1200px wide, the first and last items will still be very left and very right, but the spacing in between the rest of them will be bigger so that it fills the page width.
