CSS - Css <div> Height Property
I am wondering if there is some way to make a <div> layer automatically expand to the full height of the screen similar to the way that one would use width=100% when talking about the width of a page.
I have a layer that I want to extend to the bottom of the page no matter what resolution the user has on their screen. Maybe the layer could just extend all the way until the next layer? Any Ideas? Thanks Jamie Similar TutorialsHi 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! I am trying to figure out how I can get this red curve to align to the bottom of the page, while also being able to move up and down with the size of the browser window. http://www.woodrichwebworks.com/psa/psa_comps/bycor/html/redtest.html Any help would be great. Question) In CSS can you line-height be set to a lower value than the current font size? What does this cause? potential answers (practise revision exam are) A) line-height cannot be set to a value lower than the current font size B) The lines are cut to prevent overlapping C) The lines will overlap I am pretty sure they overlap but want to confirm html Code: Original - html Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <html> <head> <style = "text/css"> .main { width:200px; height:300px; position:absolute; background:yellow; top:0px; overflow:hidden; } .container { display:inline; position:absolute; width:100px; height:100%-; _height:100%; margin-bottom:auto; top:151px; bottom:0px; background:red; overflow:hidden; } .test { display:inline; position:absolute; width:100px; height:100%; background:blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div class ="main"> <div class="container"> <div class="test"></div> </div </div> asdfasasdfsdaf </body> </html>

Basically I have a div that fills up the main div(main). The reason that there are 2 other divs is because one is slightly translucent and I didn't want the text to be translucent so it is for sitting on top of it and displaying the text, (I know it doesn't do that right now, this is just example code). My problem is that I want the div(test) to fill up the main div(main) from a certain point down, that is make it start 151px from the top and then expand until the bottom of the main div. I discovered that you can do this in firefox and opera by placing a - at the end of the height:100%. I don't know if this is correct, but it works. It does not work however in ie6. i can chop it using overflow:hidden;, but thats not really the functionality I want since the div in the final version will have a border on it. Is there someway to make it display the same way in Internet Explorer 6 as in firefox? Thanks akurtis So, I have a div that is acting as a container. I contains a background image and colour that goes beyond the image should the image not be big enough for certain resolutions. Anyways inside this div container are 2 more divs, one with a set height that holds images, and another one below the first one that holds text. Now this text changes on a regular basis, but I don't really want to have to adjust the height of the container div everytime I add more text or take away text, I want it to automatically adjust the height as it needs to. I tried setting the height property to auto, but that didn't do anything. Just wondering if someone knows a way to do this? 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:

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 It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1
{
width: 575px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> 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've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
height: 150px;
width: 750px;
}
#bannerPic {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#bannerText {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: -150px;
}
And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. Is there such a thing as using an alt property for <img> tag? This would be awfully useful for SEO Hi, i am very new to css and I am confused about the difference between margin-top vs top please help Regards Ltoso Ok what i want to happen is that when person clicks on a link i want a div to appear/be visible underneath that link. But i want that div to not take any space unless i click on a link. I recently did something similar BUT the div was taking the space but was just hidden. I'm trying to create some links that swap background images when you mouseover them. The non-CSS solution (which looks exactly how I want it to look) is located he http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html My attempt at creating a CSS equivalent of those links is located on this page: http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html I just need some help with the CSS I'm using on the latter page...I read up a little on how to do this, but it's obvious I'm still doing something wrong... I need the buttons and the text inside the buttons to line up and appear like they do in the first URL....can anyone give me some pointers here? Thank you. Thanks for all the continued help/support. . . Makes learning CSS so much easier! Link: www.vairlinecms.com Question: I set the html up like this on purpose to grasp the concept. <p> tags are block level containers. So each new set of <p> tags should equal start on new line. w/the float property holding a value of left, it floats all content to the left. Since each instance of float occurs in its own container...the two different <p> sets should not be affected. In short, the password: paragraph should be on a new line, not both on the same line. There should be no need to clear it because they are in their own containers - which are block level. Where is my logic/understanding of CSS flawed? HTML: Code: <div id="clientLoginBoxBody">
<form action=#">
<br />
<p class="user">Username:</p>
<p class="pass">Password:</p>
</form>
</div>
CSS: Code: #clientLoginBoxBody p.user, p.pass {
float: left;
margin: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: right;
}
My documentation for css shows that content: url(); works in navigator but not in ie. The info I've got is dated. Does the content property work in the newer ie browsers? This style is use useful or not @property-group title-style() { color: #004080; font-weight: bold; } @property-group standard-vmargins() { margin: 1.33ex 0; } title, subtitle, titleabbrev { display: block; property-group: title-style(); property-group: standard-vmargins(); } This is not support IE... Will the -moz property ever become a valid CSS property. when I validate my CSS on w3.org I get errors. I remove all propertys that have a -moz in front of it and it is 100% valid. ALSO ... Is there a way to mask parts of the css from the validator or have a separate CSS file that can be masked from the validator to make it appear to be 100% valid.. Thanks |
