CSS - Height Of The Page

Hi guys,

I have a problem that really bugs me and I'm probably not seeing the super-easy simple solution that is certainly there.

s369533597(dot)onlinehome(dot)us

s369533597(dot)onlinehome(dot)us(slash)templates(slash)edison(slash)css(slash)template(dot)css

and art.sheet is the tag.

(site build on joomla 1.6)

If your browser window will show more than 900px in height you'll see immediately my problem. the "body content" area will resize to the window height and not to the amount of content in it leaving a lot of blank space depending on the browser window height. I've tried all the min-height and height options and combinations but nothing really works. If I'll set up a particular height for that tag it will be OK for the home page but on any other page the overflow look awful. I just can't make it fluid.

any advise?

I 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.

alright I'm stumped so please please please help me out!

I have a page that's 100% in height, and usually there's more information so you have to scroll down. but I can't seem to activate the scrollbar. I've tried overflow, messing with the height attribute, i have no idea how to solve this. my page: http://www.aapinboom.nl/luxeduinvil...ntroductie.html

and this is the code:
Code:

html,body {	
	background-image: url('../images/bg.gif');
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px; 
	margin-left: 0px; 
	margin-right: 0px;	
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
	font-size: 13px;
	height: 100%;
	}
	
#center {
	text-align: center;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
}

#container {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
	width: 600px;
	height: 100%;
	border: 1px solid #B8B8B8;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	text-align: left;
}

thanks for any suggestions!

Hello all. I am working on a sign on page that uses two divs nested in a table. I have a header above them, and a footer below, and I want the divs (which have a nice gradient background) to stretch all the way down to the footer, regardless of the amount of content. In a simplified format, I have:


Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height:100%; padding-top:20px; padding-bottom:20px; width:976px;" border="0">
     <tr>
          <td class="wrapper1" id="wrapper1" valign="top">
               <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%">
                    <tr>
                         <td valign="top" width="100%" style="border:3px dotted black; height:100%;">
                              <table style="width:100%; height:100%;" border="1">
                                   <tr>
                                        <td valign="top" style="height:100%;">
                                             <xsl:call-template name="bodyContainerTemplate"/>
                                         </td>
                                   </tr>
                               </table> 
                         </td>
                    </tr>
               </table>
          </td>
     </tr>
</table>

The tables stretch just fine. Where I am running into problems is in my bodyContainerTemplate. That template looks like:

Code:

<!--bodyContainerTemplate-->

<div class="bgcolor1" style="width:976px; height:100%; border:2px solid;">
     <div class="login_bg" style="height:100%;" id="login_bg">
          <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" style="position:relative;">
               <tr>
                    <td>
                           My content goes here
                    </td>
               </tr>
          </table>

For some reason, once it gets into the template, height:100%; doesn't work anymore, and the divs simply stretch big enough to make room for the content. What styles am I missing for those divs to be 100%?

I have messed with:
min-height
height:auto, relative, etc.
margin:0
and a few other things, none of which are seeming to make a difference.


Thanks!

Hello, I have been working on this for over 2 days and learning plenty in the process. Yet, I have come to a roadblock. I need the footer, which is outside the main container, to extend to the height of the page. The problem is that the page height changes with each page, and will change in the future, as the info for the pages will be pulled from a database.

Please have a look at the footer on my site and tell me what might be a good solution. Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/FriendsCSS2/index.php

thanks

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?

Hey everyone. I've read this forum for a long time, and I've finally broken down and joined to seek help for my CSS problem.

I cannot get my container to do what I want it to. I'm starting a new site for my family business, and I've uploaded one page for you to look at. I left the CSS code in the source in order to see.

Basically, if there's too much content, the page background will not fill the screen as intended if the window is scrolled. If there's too little content, the background does fill the page, but most pages on my site will not be as such. I've also included the code below. Any help is appreciated!!

Note: Please don't mind the filler pictures, text, and heading styles.

Hey everyone,

I'm having troubles with some DIVs. I'm trying to divide a page into 4 equal sections. If I remove the doctype declaration, it looks right in Firefox 3.5.2 In ie it is all sorts of crazy. 100% height of the inner objects seems to be referencing the window height and not the parent elements height. I'm more concerned about Firefox anyway. I expect IE to require some hacks.

If I set an absolute size to the body, in px, everything works fine. But if I have the body set to %, things shrink. I tried creating a wrapper div and setting it's height/width to 50% but that didn't work either.

I tried to find a solution on kravvitz and bon rouge's sites but I didn't find anything that was 100% fluid.

Any ideas?

Greets,

I'm trying to get the follwing collumns to display on the complete height of the element they are nested in.

Each of the 3 collumns currently only take the space required by the content that is in said element.

Preview:


The current layout is set with 3 divs (2 left floating, and the bigger one on right-float). I don't want to use tables/cells and I cannot use min-height as the content will be filled by the customer using a CMS.

I Wish i could use something like:
Code:

#col_1 {height: parent.height;}

here is a link to the actual page, please note that to use the style i am talking about you will have to use the top left select element and choose GH_02 -v. (this is my 1st attempt to have the same content with multiple css sets...)

I have stripped the whole page down to the bare bones and can not seem to get the center DIV to be the same height as the rest of the page.

Is there a simple fix for this or would I need to redo it completely ?

The left and right content is not always the same so their height is also variable. I have a min-height in the center DIV, and using height 100% does not seem to work either.

Can anyone suggest what I could change to make it the same or suggest how I redo this so it is.

Code:

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

Hi all,

I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover.

In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height.

Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder)

My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement.

Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values?

I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit.

Whew!
