CSS - Extend Table Width To Container Div's Width
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... Similar TutorialsI 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? 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? Hello, I have a header which extends to 100% the width of the browser. I am trying to get the footer to do the same but it's only about 90% the browser's width. Here's my CSS for the footer: Code: #footer {
width:100%; /* this will create a container 80% of the browser width */
background: #327ec1;
margin: 0 0 0 -38; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0px;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
height:120px;
}
#footer_container {
width:950px; /* this will create a container 80% of the browser width */
background: #327ec1;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0 px;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
height:120px;
}
the site ishere any ideas? thanks 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 Hi, I have the following css: Code: #container { background: url(../images/page.gif) repeat-y center;
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#banner {background:url(../images/banner.gif) no-repeat center;
height:108px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
#menu {background:url(../images/menu.gif) no-repeat top center;
height:124px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
#content {
margin-left: 240px;
font-family:'Helv', Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
letter-spacing:1px;
color:#000;
text-align:justify;
width:580px;
position:relative;
}
#footer {background:url(../images/pgfooter.gif) bottom center no-repeat;
height:46px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
all background are fixed width for 1024x768 and i have the following html <div id="container"> <div id="banner"></div> <div id="menu"></div> <div id="content"> All text goes here </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> now the problem is that if i set the #container width to let say 1000px; it works fine (only resizeing the browser instantly ihave the horizontal scroller). So i want to set thethe container width to 100%. As soon as i set that and resize the browser the page flows well But the text in the #content div remains static and doesn't move along with the bkgrounds, thus flowing "out" of the text area. the links is here Code: http://ocdmonline.org/michael/ username: ocdmonline pass:4yGx3fM Any ideas? 10x I have a site with a fixed width, but a few pages on the site are reports with wide tables that overflow that fixed width. Per the spec, they overflow their containers instead of expanding the containers (as happened in the old table layout). Is there a way to get the old table behavior out of the styled div tags? This is a short example of what the site uses for layout. The first block is normal content. The second has content overflowing and I would like all containers to expand (Main expands for the content, Page expands b/c Main expanded, Header* and Footer expand b/c their container (Page) expanded). The third is what it'd look like after that expansion (table rendered). Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

I won't go back to tables, but I'd really like a general solution that can be applied to all pages, instead of doctoring widths and margins on the pages in question to get tolerable results. The page should be the set fixed width unless the content demands otherwise, then the entire page should stretch to flow. Any ideas? A screenshot for viewing sans personal test file. Hi folks, I hope this is achieveable ... I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... 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 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 Please see: http://www.larreamma.com/staff2.html Is there a better way to expand 'main2' then adding/increasing the 'margin-bottom' of the last (empty) paragraph? <p style="margin-bottom:150px"> </p> Without it the bottom floated image overlaps 'main2' and meets the footer. This was not an issue on the other pages of the site as the text extended beyond the floated image(s)/elements. C'mon Kravvitz... I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description. If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages design. What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line break after the width of the table is reached??? There is a solution that I put a div in td and then Code: #desc {
width:"100%";
width::fixed;
overflow:scroll;}
but it is not exactly what I want Hi guys, I'm having a real problem with CSS on this page. The page views fine in IE, but in firefox I cannot get the green box (div id=maincontent) to extend down to the bottom of the black box... as you can see the black box simply flows out. The green box is extending down to the bottom of the white box, but it stops there. Can anyone think of any obvious ways to fix this? I tried placing a clear:both div at the bottom of main content (which is the red bar you can see) , but that too only actually clears the white box, not the black one. Here's the main bits of css... Code:
#maincontent
{
position:relative;
width:762px;
margin-top:0px;
background-image:url(contentbkg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding-top:10px;
text-align:left;
}
#left
{
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
margin-left:5px;
margin-top:10px;
}
#right
{
color:#FFFFFF;
float:right;
margin-right:10px;
margin-top:10px;
position:absolute;
#position:relative;
}
#translucentblack {
width: 150px;
float:right;
background-color: #000000;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
-moz-opacity:0.4;
opacity: 0.4;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding:5px;
}
#opaqueblack {
width: 150px;
background-color: transparent;
float:right;
position:absolute;
margin-left:592px;
#margin-left:22px;
z-index: 2;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding:5px;
}
#translucentbkg {
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:12px;
width: 566px;
background-color:#FFFFFF ;
filter:alpha(opacity=80);
-moz-opacity:0.8;
opacity: 0.8;
padding:5px;
text-align:left;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#opaquetext
{
color:#006600;
font-size:12px;
width: 566px;
background-color: transparent;
position:absolute;
z-index: 2;
padding:5px;
text-align:left;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
basically left and right sit inside maincontent, then opaquetext and translucentbkg sit inside left, whilst opaqueblack and translucentblack sit inside right! phew The reason for opaque and translucent divs is that I'm using mozilla's tip here http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Useful_CSS_tips:Color_and_Background mirroring content and positioning one div over another to get semi transparent backgrounds. Hope that all made sense... any help would be incredible!!! thanks! 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. im trying to make a table have a max width (so it can shrink of the browser window shrinks or the user has a smaller screen resolution) Code:
<STYLE type="text/css">
#max800 { max-width: 800px; text-align: left;}
#max750 { max-width: 750px; text-align: left;}
</STYLE>
thats the css in the header section of my document (which is a .php document but this part is not in <?php ?> tags on a table if i put <table id="max800"> it does not fallow the max width propety i am trying ot give it (or the text align for that matter) instead it shrinks to the smallest possible width like it would nomrally do what am i doing wrong? Code: table.community {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:11px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#414141;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 548px;
margin: 1px;
}
<table class='community_field'> The table is ignoring the width..doesn't stretch the width designated. Percentage doesn't work either.. Hi Is it possible to give a table widths style the ability to have a minimum and maximum width? eg, it has to be 10px to 30px in width? so if content doesnt fill it enough, it will be 10px but if there is loads of content it will only goto 30px in width ? |
