CSS - Making A Navigation Bar Stretch To The Full Page Height
Hey
I am developing a site for our band, and I'm having trouble getting the nav bar to look right. The page is http://www.mattbray.curvedspaces.co..._beta/index.php and I don't want the left hand section to stop halfway down the page. The stylesheet is called style.css in the same directory. Code: /* page defaults */ body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align:center; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #EAEAEA; } /* Layout divs */ #container { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #666666; position: static; left: 40px; top: 12px; padding: 0px; width: 800px; border-right: #003366 1px solid; border-left: #003366 1px solid; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; height: auto; text-align:left; background-color: #FFFFFF; } #title { background-image: url(images/saved_title.gif); margin-top: 10px; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 150px; border-top-color: #000000; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: #000000; } #navbar { background-image: url(images/navbar.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; padding: 5px; height: 20px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #navwin { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-right: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; background-color: #CCCFFF; width: 230px; height: 100%; margin: 0; float: left; font-size: medium; } #content { float: left; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 10px; padding-top: 40px; background-image: url(images/content.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: -239px 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; height: auto; width: 539px; } #footer { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px; border-top: solid 1px black; border-bottom: solid 1px black; width: 780px; height: 25px; text-align: center; } /* Links */ a:link { color: #006699; } a:visited { color: #006699; } a:hover { color: #006699; text-decoration: none; } a:active { color: #006699; } /* elements */ #navwin h2 { font-size: large; display: block; } #navwin ul {} thanks Matt Similar TutorialsI have 2 div columns on a web page, they are positioned using css... the right column is taller than the left column, but the left column does not expand to the full height of the right column... I require this, because the left column has a background color that I want to go right to the bottom of the page. I have height: 100%; in the css style for the left column, but that only makes it 1 screen high... does anyone know of a way to make it the full height of the other column, ie stretch? I have tried height: auto; but that doesnt work either. 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 am looking for some examples on making this layout: ----------HEADER---------- nav content - - - - - - - - - - - - ----------FOOTER0--------- The page needs to be 100% the height of the browser window with header at top, footer at bottom and the content/nav being a minimum height of enough to fill the screen vertically and should be expandable. Anyone got any pointers? Hello, In CSS is there a way to tell an object to extend the full height and width of its parameters without specifying height and using absolute positioning? Thanks, Andy Hello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later 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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Three Columns</title> <style type="text/css"> *, html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 100%; } html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; } #maincontainer { position: relative; height: 100%; background: #eee; } #left { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 200px; background: #fbb; height: 100%; } #mid { position: relative; margin: 0 200px 0 200px; background: #efe; height: 100%; } #right { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 200px; background: #bbf; height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="maincontainer"> <div id="left"> left start<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left<br /> left end<br /> </div> <div id="mid"> mid start<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid<br /> mid end<br /> </div> <div id="right"> right start<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right<br /> right end<br /> </div> </div> </body> </html> In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance 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 I have a layout that has the normal four divs: Header Navigation Content Footer All of the divs are 775 px wide and are centered. The nav is a list of 6 links, and right now they take up very little space relative to the 775px they sit above. I would like them auto fit so that they take up all of the all of the 775px. If it is possible, I would like them to do correct depending on what is typed it, so that I'm giving each a specific px width. I've attached the HTML and the CSS that accompanies it. I'd post a link to a snapshot of it, but I can't post links yet. :x Any help would be greatly appreciated! HTML: Code: <div id="nav"> <ul> <li style="margin-left: 1px"><a href="/link1.html"><span>link1</span></a></li> <li><a href="/link2.html"><span>link2</span></a></li> <li id="current"><a href="/link3.html"><span>link3</span></a></li> <li><a href="/link4.html"><span>link4</span></a></li> <li><a href="/link5.html"><span>link5</span></a></li> <li><a href="/link6.html"><span>link6</span></a></li> </ul> </div> CSS: Code: body { background-color: #636c08; background-image: url(images/background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; } h1 { font: bold 18px Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color:#630; } #container { margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; width: 775px; } #header { position:realtive; left:0px; top:0px; width:775px; } #nav{ margin-left: 4px; padding: 0; width: 100%; background: transparent; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; padding-left: 5px; } #nav ul{ font: bold 16px Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; } #nav li{ display:inline; margin:0 2px 0 0; padding:0; } #nav a{ float:left; color: white; background: #87A00C url(images/leftcap2.png) no-repeat left top; margin:0 2px 0 0; padding:0 0 px 3px; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing: 1px; } #nav a span{ float:left; display:block; background: transparent url(images/rightcap2.png) no-repeat right top; padding:4px 9px 6px 6px; } #nav a span{ float:none; } #nav a:hover{ background-color: #C1CF2B; color: #000000 } #nav a:hover span{ background-color: #C1CF2B; } #nav #current a, #ddcolortabs #current span{ /*currently selected tab*/ background-color: #C1CF2B; color:#000000; } #topbar{ clear: both; padding: 0; width: 100%; height: 16px; line-height: 16px; background: #C1CF2B; } #content { background-color:#EAEEB3; padding: 8px; } #bottombar{ clear: both; padding: 0; width: 100%; height: 16px; line-height: 16px; background: #C1CF2B; } #footer { font: bold 9px Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color:#FFF; text-align:center; } 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 I am baffled by what seems like a simple task which I can't seem to find the solution to. I've two columns (#top_left, #top_right) inside a containing div (#top_container). I want both columns to be the same height (100%). So if the column on the right has more content, the column on the left will stretch to match the same height. If I set a fixed height on the containing div (#top_container), it fixes the issue, since at this point my declaration of height:100% on the two columns actually knows what it is supposed to be 100% of. But then I run into overflow issues if the content goes over fixed height and when I try min-height, the columns fail to stretch once more. Here is my code: Code: <style type="text/css"> #top_container {width:760px;} #top_left {float:left; height:100%; width:200px;} #top_right {float:left; height:100%; width:560px;} </style> <div id="top_container"> <div id="top_left">Content</div> <div id="top_right">Content</div> <br clear="all" /> </div> I've slimmed down the code and cut out non relevant pieces like font styling, colors, and other non pertinent sections. Hey everyone, I'm trying to convert a jscript rollover setup to using CSS sprites. I have setup the following sprite: [IMG]eagleonedims.com/images/navmap.jpg[/IMG] I cannot figure out how to have the <li> sections replace the entire ba6nner with a shifted-down sprite upon rollover. The shifted sprite just appears within the boundaries of the respective<li> section. The reason for needing this is to include the cloud effect which overlap the other li sections. Basically, upon rollover I need the ENTIRE navmap.jpg image to be shifted by 88px down. The image is 1000px wide and each sprite is 88px tall. Thanks for any help! CSS: Code: #navmap { width: 1000px; height: 88px; background: url("images/navmap.jpg"); margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; } #navmap li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; position: absolute; top: 0; } #navmap li, #navmap a { height: 88px; display: block; } #home {left: 141px; width: 110px;} #about {left: 251px; width: 120px;} #pricing {left: 371px; width: 120px;} #quote {left: 491px; width: 120px;} #contact {left: 611px; width: 120px;} #login {left: 731px; width: 128px;} #home a:hover {background: url("images/navmap.jpg") 0px -88px no-repeat;} #about a:hover {background: url("images/navmap.jpg") 0 -176px no-repeat;} HTML: Code: <ul id="navmap"> <li id="home"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li id="about"><a href="about.php">About</a></li> <li id="pricing"><a href="pricing.php">Pricing</a></li> <li id="quote"><a href="quote.php">Quote</a></li> <li id="contact"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li> <li id="login"><a href="login.php">Login</a></li> </ul> Hi all! After trying more then a few things I'm about to give up, so I hope someone here has the answer. The problem is the following: * A website contains 3 DIV columns and an header at the top, this is all inside a single wrapper DIV which centers the webpage. * All three columns should have the same length as the longest column. * When the content in the 3 DIV columns is shorter then the height of your browser window, the DIV elements should fill-out until the bottom of the screen. Point 2 is doable. Point 3 is doable. But the combination of point 2 and 3 seems quite hard. Hope someone has an idea . Thanks! Hi, I am trying to better understand how column heights are displayed, and how to create full height columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index.html, the column which drives the height of the page is <div id="main">, and the left and right columns do not span the entire column height, and the red <div id="content"> shows at the bottom of both side columns. On this page http://tapmeister.com/layout_test/index2.html, I put less stuff in the center <div id="main"> so it wouldn't drive the height of the page. The green <div id="main">, however, did cover the entire column unlike the left and right column on the earlier page. Can anyone help me understand what is going on, and why one column has full height color yet not the other one? Also, what is the best way to make the left and right column have full height color? I know I can apply a repeating background graphic to <div id="content"> which mimics the appearance of the left and right column, however, it would be nice to do differently if possible. My code is listed below (sorry about the ugly colors!)

I was following the guide at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins but with my navigation column on the left. A summary of my layout right now is: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> </div> </div> <div id="navigation" <div id="navlist"> </div> </div> <div id="clearing"> </div> </div> my css: #container { float: right; margin-left: -16.8em; width: 100%; background-color: #2586d7; } #navigation { float: left; width: 14em; background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #wrapper { background: #90bade url(navimage.jpg) repeat-y: right; } #navlist is a div containing a styled ul for navigation. #clearing { clear: both; height: 0; } So basically the navigation div is supposed to extend to the bottom as far as the container div goes. According to the guide at AListApart it should be working but is something else in my code interfereing? If everything above should work fine, I can post a link to the test file so you can see the rest of the code. Thanks for any help! Hi, I have a border around the content of my page which is limited in width but not height. Some of the pages have more content then others so the height adjusts. I also have a left column and a black background with and image in this column but I have 2 problems 1. In IE I can't seem to get this black column(div) to extend to the full height of the column so that it reaches the border. 2. In Firefox this left column extends all the way down the page and the border doesn't surround the text it sort of collapses The column is left floated and in a div and the content is right floated and in a div as well which is all surrounded by a div with a border. I would appreciate any help that you might offer. Thanks Ok I've got this... Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> body { height: 100%; background-color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .container { height: 100%; width: 300px; margin: 90px auto 50px auto; background-color: green; } .footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0%; width: 100%; background-color: yellow; height: 50px; } .menubar { position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 100%; background-color: red; height: 95px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="menubar"> MENUBAR </div> <div class="container"> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br> a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>a<br>z<br> <!-- footer --> <div class="footer"> FOOTER </div> </div> </body> </html> Which works beautifully in opera, the green part is the full size of the document with all those a<br> in there (or without), and the footer is perfectly placed at the bottom. But both IE (testing on version 6) & NS (testing on version 7.1) display the footer at the bottom of the window when it loads, not after the container div is finished... Also in NS the container divs background colour finishes once you scroll down a little. Now I've tried many different ways around this. I know what its like when I spend too long looking at one thing, I end up missing the obvious - so I thought I'd throw it out to a wider group for observations... I thank you in advance. -D I'd like to make a 2-column layout where each column fills the height of the container div, and the container div's height is determined by the longest div within it... this is getting a bit confusing, because I can't have one being determined by the other one with that one being determined by the first, if that makes sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs). My problem is: - divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows. Here is a html code: Code: <!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER --> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <link href="template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="template.js" /> </head> <body onload="onloadprocedures()"> <div id="main_container"> <div id="template_header"> <div id="tl_outerborder"></div> <div id="t_outerborder"></div> <div id="tr_outerborder"></div> <div id="l_outerborder_h"></div> <div id="header_content"> <div id="logo"><img src="img/logo.png" alt="" /></div> <div id="slogan"><img src="img/slogan.png" alt="Centrum zdrowia" /></div> </div> <div id="r_outerborder_h"></div> </div> <!-- END TEMPLATE HEADER --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE BODY --> <div id="template_body"> <div id="l_outerborder_b"></div> <div id="body_content"> <div id="body_content_text"> <p>TEST</p> </div> </div> <div id="r_outerborder_b"></div> </div> <!-- END TEMPLATE BODY --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE FOOTER --> <div id="template_footer"> <div style="clear:both"></div> <div id="l_outerborder_f"></div> <div id="footer_content"></div> <div id="l_outerborder_f"></div> <div id="bl_outerborder"></div> <div id="b_outerborder"></div> <div id="br_outerborder"></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!-- END TEMPLATE FOOTER --> and CSS: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:Tahoma, Verdana, "Times New Roman", Arial; font-size:12px; } a:link {text-decoration: none} /* unvisited link */ a:visited {text-decoration: none} /* visited link */ a:hover {text-decoration: none} /* mouse over link */ a:active {text-decoration: none} /* selected link */ #main_container { position:relative; margin:auto; width:960px; height:auto; } #template_header { float:left; position:relative; width:960px; height:300px; } #header_content { float:left; position:relative; width:900px; height:270px; } #logo { width:310px; height:130px; position:relative; float:left; top:0px; left:0px; } #slogan { width:580px; height:100px; position:relative; float:left; top:0px; left:0px; } #tl_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/tl_outerborder.png); width:30px; height:30px; } #t_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/t_outerborder.png); width:900px; height:30px; } #tr_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/tr_outerborder.png); width:30px; height:30px; } #l_outerborder_h { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/l_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:270px; } #r_outerborder_h { float:right; position:relative; background-image:url(img/r_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:270px; } #body_content { float:left; position:relative; width:900px; overflow:hidden; } #body_content_text { float:left; position:relative; width:600px; margin: auto; overflow:hidden; } #l_outerborder_b { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/l_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:inherit; } #r_outerborder_b { float:right; position:relative; background-image:url(img/r_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:inherit; } #l_outerborder_f { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/l_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:inherit; } #r_outerborder_f { float:right; position:relative; background-image:url(img/r_outerborder.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; width:30px; height:inherit; } #template_body { float:left; position:relative; width:960px; overflow:hidden; } #bl_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/bl_outerborder.png); width:30px; height:30px; } #b_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/b_outerborder.png); width:900px; height:30px; } #br_outerborder { float:left; position:relative; background-image:url(img/br_outerborder.png); width:30px; height:30px; } Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg I can only get my page to display correctly in IE6. Not IE7 or Firefox. If anyone could help, it'd be much appreciated! Basically, the borders on the left/right don't stretch all the way down the page in IE7 and Firefox (like they do in IE6). Here is the website: http://www.stacyandmatt.com/ Here's the simple HTML: Code: <body> <div id="container"> <div id="maincontent"> <div id="header"> <p> </p> </div> <div id="navBar"> <p> </p> </div> <div id="mainRight"> <img src="images/mainPic.jpg" /> </div> <div class="spacer"> </div> </div> </div> </body> And here is the CSS: Code: html, body { background: #000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 0; margin: 0; color: #F09; height: 100%; line-height: 1.5em; } #container { background: #000; height: 100%; width: 780px; margin:auto; padding: 0; text-align: justify; } #maincontent { background: #000 url(../images/borderTest.jpg) repeat-y top left; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; border-right: 6px solid #F09; overflow: visible; } #header { background: url(../images/header.gif) no-repeat top left; width: 100%; height: 141px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #navBar { width: 155px; float: left; padding: 20px 0px 0px 40px; margin: 0px; color: #000000; } #mainRight { width: 555px; float: right; padding: 20px 5px 0px 5px; margin: 0px; } .spacer { clear: both; } Thanks! |
