All I wanna do is to stretch my container div vertically depending on the maincontent div
part of my css PHP Code: body { margin: 0px; background-color: #000000; text-align: center; /*height: 100%;*/ } #container { /*using this to center*/ margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 720px; height: 100%; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; <<<<-----bottom-border must stretch, sort to speak } #mainContent { /*div on the right of my nav-div*/ width: 560px; height: 100%; right: 0px; top: 40px; position: absolute;/* voor ie*/ text-align: left; background-color: #FF0000; } But my border(container div does't stretch) Complete PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { margin: 0px; background-color: #000000; text-align: center; /*height: 100%;*/ } #container { /*using this to center*/ margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 720px; height: 100%; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #mainContent { width: 560px; height: 100%; right: 0px; top: 40px; position: absolute; text-align: left; background-color: #FF0000; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="mainContent"></div> </div> </body> </html> Any tips, solutions Similar TutorialsI'm setting up a template for a page where there's essentially three rows. Header, content, and footer. I set the entire table to be 100% vertical and I've also set the table in row 2 (the content row) to be 100% vertical. But when I view the page in IE, the content row only stretches as much as there is content, but I'd like it to stretch and hit the bottom edge of the page even if there is not enough content. Any ideas? Experimenting with layouts.... How do I get the right-hand DIVs (content = 'two') to automatically stretch down to the same height as the left-hand DIVs (as table cells would): Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.frame {
margin-left : 5%;
width : 90%;
font-size : 1em;
text-align : center;
}
.header {
width : 800;
border : 0.05em dashed black;
text-align : center;
}
.header1, .header2, .header3 {
float : left;
margin : 1px;
vertical-align : center;
font-size : 0.8em;
position : relative;
border : 0.05em red solid;
}
.header1 {
text-align : right;
width : 750;
}
.header2 {
text-align : center;
width : 40;
}
.clear {
clear : both;
}
</STYLE>

Is it somehow possible to stretch a containing (relatively positioned) div vertically around its child p's, which are absolutely positioned, without setting the height of the parent? I have tried the following code, which - obviously - does not work: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <div style="position: relative; width: 764px; border: solid 1px #C63949; background-color: grey;"> <p style="position: absolute; left: 255px; top: 29px; width: 164px; height: 113px; background-color: orange;"> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 25px; top: 27px; width: 198px; height: 175px; background-color: blue;"> <a title="x.jpg" href="x.jpg"> <img alt="x.jpg" src="x.jpg"/> </a> <br/> <strong>description</strong> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 255px; top: 151px; width: 168px; height: 164px; background-color: red;"> another div </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 436px; top: 34px; width: 238px; height: 138px; background-color: green;"> <a title="y.jpg" href="y.jpg"><img alt="y.jpg" src="y.jpg"/> </a> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 29px; top: 220px; width: 182px; height: 153px; background-color: yellow;"> <a title="z.jpg" href="z.jpg"> <img alt="z.jpg" src="z.jpg"/> </a> <br/> <strong>description</strong> </p> testing testing testing </div> </body> </html> The problem is, I am using a online editor which creates the code for the child. I cannot change that css code. I am able to add to it, or change the css for the parent. If you have a suggestion how I can stretch the containing div, so it goes just below the lowest p, I would be very happy! EDIT: I just read on http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AbsoluteOrFloatLayout "There is no way to instruct other parts of the page to start or end with respect to the absolutely positioned element" If this is true, than is there another way I can solve this problem? I would like the content table on the website to stretch as to the edges of whatever space it is taking up. But when I view the page, the table doesn't stretch vertically down until it hits the bottom edge. Any ideas? PHP Code: .content { height: 100%; width: 100%; } I'm attempting to get it so when the main content div exceeds my min-height specifications, that it expands the div, which in turn expands the container with an absolutely positioned footer at bottom:0;. Works fine in all newer browsers with the exception of IE7. What do I need to do to get it to expand in that version? Here is the link to the page: http://www.chcs-ut.com/chcs-new.php And the stylesheet: http://www.chcs-ut.com/css/style.css Also, I would really rather not have to specify a min-height for my main content div. I'd rather just have it automatically fill to 100% of the main container that is set to 100% height and min-height, so that the footer automatically appears at the bottom of the screen if the content is not large enough to push it down there by itself. Can't seem to get it to work, though (in ANY browser) without specifying a min-height for the main content div. Problem with that is different resolutions/browsers would require a different value, so hard-coding it isn't a desireable solution. Any thoughts? EDIT: Both problems were fixed by adding "height:auto !important" to my main content container, instead of specifying a "min-height". Works across the board! Hi! Is it possible to align vertically block elements in a fixed-height (unknown) container? If not, this is a serious shortcoming of the css model of placing objects on the screen. Thanks! Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:
<body>
<div class="colorbox">
<div class="colorboxtop">
<h2>title goes here</h2>
</div><!-- /colorboxtop -->
<div class="boxcontent">
<p>You should read this and <a href="#">Click Here</a>.</p>
<a title="Go Here!" href="#">[button]</a>
</div><!-- /boxcontent -->
</div><!-- /colorbox -->
</body>
No great complexity there...here's the CSS: Code:
body {
color:#666666;
font-family:Lucida Grande,Verdana,sans;
font-size:10px;
font-size-adjust:none;
font-style:normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:13px;
}
.colorbox {
margin-bottom:9px;
padding-bottom:15px;
width:300px;
border:thin solid #CCCCCC;
}
.colorbox h2 {
color:#FFCC33;
}
.colorbox {
color:#CC6633;
padding:0px 20px 15px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.colorboxtop {
background-color: #dddddd;
height:50px;
color:#666666;
background-image: url(images/bg_Tiles/stripe-dk-blue-green.png);
padding:auto 20px;
}
.colorbox a {
color:#C5DBE9;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}
Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind. So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix... (Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.) Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container. <!--AK47--> <div id="imgcont0"> <div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div> <div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div> </div> <!--/AK47--> imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be. Stylesheet: #imgcont0 { width: 825px; height: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #imgcont1 { width: 650px; } #imgcont2 { margin-left: 675px; width: 150px; } As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas? Is there any way to make divs stretch to fit the content of the div? I don't want to hear about how to make them stretch to the size of the page. How do you get them to streth to fit what is in them? I have been trying to work a lot with CSS3 to rotate, scale, etc. One effect I've been trying to figure out is how to stretch something. I could scale it along the y axis but that's not really stretching. A stretch would mean the top and bottom (or left and right) sides would curve inward. How can I distort an element in this fashion? Hello... I'm having some trouble. I have a container div set to 100% width. I have 2 small fixed width divs floated right and left and then a div between them that needs to stretch to fufill the 100% width while showing the background image of the container div. Works in Firefox, IE7... not so much. Any help is appreciated in advance CSS #container { width: 100%; background: url('images/topM.gif') repeat; } #leftFloat { width: 30px; float: left; } #rightFloat { #width: 30px; float: right; } #middleStretch { height: 25px; } --------------------------- XHTML <div id="container"> <div id="leftFloat"/>image goes here</div> <div id="rightFloat">image goes here</div> <div id="middleStretch">this div should stretch to fill the space between the left & right floats showing while repeating container background image</div> <!--end #container--></div> Hi, I am editing a dynamically driven site and I don't have access to edit the HTML code, just the CSS. I have a <div> with content in it within a <td> tag. When the div stretches past the width of the <td> tag it makes the table cell wider. Is there any way in CSS to have it not stretch the width of the cell? The <div> has an id="mylinks" on it, however the <td> or the <table> doesn't have any id or class on them. I'm pully my hair out trying to figure out a fix, any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance right.... i have two fixed width columns and i want them to be the same height - the height of whichever has the most content. so i figured i do something like: +---------------------+ | +-----+ +----+ | | | | | | | | | | | b | | | | a | | | | | | | +----+ | | | | | | +-----+ | +---------------------+ (OK - problems with spaces and non breaking thingy.. do you get the idea though? ) the container div will stretch to fit the content, divs a and b will increase in height depending on content. so i was thinking if i set divs a and b to be 100% height it would work. however, this will do nothing if i haven't defined the height of the parent (container). so i think, ok, i'll set that to 100% as well. however this does not work. when i say "does not work" i mean the following: my container div fills the viewport. the column divs stretch from the bottom to the top of the page. -- all ok this far. when i add a load of content, i the div (a or b) will stretch beyond the viewport BUT the other one doesn't. now.. does anyone have any ideas of how i could do this? has anyone seen this anywhere? any help appreciated. d Can someone please tell me what the font-stretch property within CSS does? I have been playing around with the following online example, but the way the text is rendered never changes. [access the world wide web]w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_style_fontstretch Could someone please tell me how to use the font-stretch property? I am just trying to see what it does. Thank you! I feel so STUPID. I have DIV[a] inside DIV[a] is DIV[z] DIV[z] is 200px high. there is no height attribute et for DIV[a] shouldnt DIV[a] stretch atleast to fit in DIV[z] You can see here, in firefox, the dark background only comes down 200px. That is because its height is at 200px, i did that so you could see it. If I remove the height attribute, it dissapears completley. The menu and such on the left are within this div, so it should stretch correct? It works fine in IE. If I need to explain more let me know. Thanks Hi, Just wondering if anyone can tell me how i would go about stretching a background image for my website so as it stretches with different page sizes and resolutions an all the rest Hi there, I'm having trouble (right now Im just trying to get firefox to work) getting my #content div to stretch completely vertically. The #main div is stretching correctly, I figured I'd be able to use the same code to get the #content div to stretch. TIA - Mark HTML Code:
