HTML - Div Height
I have two columns in my page layout. I would like them to be the same height without declaring an exact height for both coloumns. Is there anyway to do this. I have attched a simple example of what I mean.
Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <style type="text/css"> .column1{ border: solid 1px black; width: 400px; margin: 20px; padding: 5px; margin-left: 100px; background-color: aqua; height: auto; } .column2{ border: solid 1px black; float: right; width:400px; padding: 5px; margin: 20px; margin-right: 100px; background-color: #92c847; } .holder{ border: 1px solid black; overflow: hidden; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="holder"> <div class="column2"> <h4> Column 2</h4> <p>text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text </p> <p>text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text </p> </div> <div class="column1"> <h4> Column 1</h4> <p>This should be the same height as column2</p> </div> </div> </body> </html> Thanks Calyspo Similar TutorialsHi Everyone, I'm slightly confused by this one. But i'm sure theres a hack out there to fix it. Basically, in firefox and konqueror, running on kubuntu, the top navigation bar at http://www.tendervendors.com/dev/payroll.html displays correctly, and when you hover over it, it fills the li with a semi-opaque background. This is correct. Its done, by filling the a element, with a background-color and then applying opaque: 0.5; The a element also has padding, which makes it fill out to the size of the li element, so the a element fills its portion of the ul, and looks like the li has the affect applied to it. However, in opera, the right and left padding is correct, but the height padding doesn't work. Does anyone know of a bug in opera that would be causing this problem, and possibly a code fix for it? TIA Matthew Millar I'm having problems with making a div height to 100%. What i mean is that the div height stretches to how long the contents of the page is. If you check out my sample here, the green div on the left only stretch to the windows "visible" viewing area, then if you lower, the height doesn't go any lower than that. any idea?

My menu is made up of ul with their styles removed and floated left to make the list horizontal. I'm trying to make the background colour of my div white, but it doesn't have any height so it's not showing up. This html code works in Google Chrome (100% height), but not in IE (25% height). How can i fix it so IE shows it correct?

I figured I would just use a div to do that... like this <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .divbg { background:url(tree.jpg); height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> <p>Content</p> <div class="divbg"> </div> </td> <td> <p>Content takes up a lot of space here and continues down the page a bit, so that is why the background in the cell to the left has to continue down the page.</p> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Unfortunately, that didn't do anything. It just left me with a strip of my background image right under the content. So... I discovered online that you have to set the parent to 100% as well. I made the td <td height="100%"> and with no luck, I made the table <table height="100">. This just did really weird stuff and I realized what the problem was. This was making the div 100% height of the window itself. All I want is for the div to go from top to bottom (not including the content at the top of the cell). Is this even possible? Let me know if my explanation is unclear... Thanks! P.S. In the real site I am using XHTML 1.0 Transitional if that makes a difference. I might be able to change that though, if I need to. It was just the default that Dreamweaver put there. I'm not sure what the rest of the site would look like if I changed that now. Ok I have been racking my brain on this one for two weeks and I still cannot find an answer to this, which I know I will kick myself when I find out. I have this sidebar in a table and the sidebar spans 4 Rows the problem is that each cell does not condense down to the smallest size possible and I don't know what to do to fix it. The page in question is at http://wentworthatdraper.com/test/ The page renders great in Chrome but not FF and IE I'll put all the code I think is relevant here. <tr> <td width="77" height="160" class="sidebar" > <div class="title"> Main </div> <div class="subtitle3"> <ul> <li> <a href="index.html">Home</a> <a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a> <a href="calendar.html">Calendar</a> <a href="news.html">News</a> </li> </ul> </div> </td> <td width="721" colspan="2" rowspan="4" class="content"> <p> Edited </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="272" class="sidebar" > <div class="title"> Our Community </div> <div class="subtitle3"> <ul> <li> <a href="index.html">Living With Us</a> <a href="contact.html">Meet The Staff</a> <a href="calendar.html">Testimonials</a> <a href="news.html">Photo Gallery</a> <a href="index.html">Apartment Deals</a> <a href="contact.html">Dining Services</a> <a href="calendar.html">Amenities</a> <a href="news.html">Location</a> </li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20px" class="sidebar"> <div class="title"> Gallery </div> <div align="center"> <img src="../test/Images/photos/happy-home.jpg" width="131" height="86" /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="100%" class="sidebar"> <div class="title"> Our Location </div> <div class="sidewriting"> 11631 S 700 E <br /> Draper, UT 8402 <p> <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=11631+S+700+E++Draper,+UT+8402&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.360237,93.076172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=11631+S+700+E,+Draper,+Salt+Lak e,+Utah+84020&ll=40.540906,-111.870153&spn=0.009963,0.022724&z=16&iwloc=A" target="_blank">Get Directions </a></p> </div> </td> </tr> .sidebar { width:175px; background:url(../images/sidebar.jpg) repeat-y; vertical-align:top; margin:auto; } .title { background:url(../images/title.jpg) left no-repeat ; height:30px; padding:10px 0px 0 15px; color:#FFF; font-weight:bold; vertical-align:top; } Thank you so much for looking at this okay so i have page, i want it to build itself to encompass at the minimum 100% of the browsers height dynamically i have seen a few methods of doing this via css and html and i have done it in the past without issue but now it wont do it anymore and im not sure why so the site is www.wiffleague.com/main.php (you may have to maximize browser to see what i mean) i want the footer section (at the bottom, the table with the copyright info in it) to always be bottom justified no matter the height of the rest of the page. currently what occurs is that if the page does not have enough content to fill the vertical height then it simply appends the footer section at the bottom of that and then a blank space under the footer. Greetings! Let me start this out by getting this out of the way - I know I should not be using tables for layout anymore But with this project I have good reasons as to not using them. Learning curve being one and time being another But I am headed that way! So here is the issue I have a simple layout and nested within is this little table for content and navigation Worked fine in FF, but IE7 is giving me some unexpected results with no explanation I can find. Here is the example page http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/test/blank.html Top left (blue) is the navigation image and cell - set height should be static and remain at the top Bottom Left (red) is a nav *footer*, I guess, but it remains at the bottom and the cell above it needs to be able to stretch indefinitely - with the images sitting on the bottom. Right (Orange) is the content area - dynamically stretching with the *red* following it. In FF this works great! Not so much in IE7 - in fact it skews the height of even the *blue* which is set!? Thanks so much in advance for your help on this, I am at my wits end! Nate~ Hey guys, I will totally accept it if you all point fingers at me and yell "n00b! look at the n00b!" but I just can't seem to work this out. If you would please look he http://cleartoday.com/OxygenPlacements/tester.html You see the main column with the words "Main Current Column" in it? What is the coding to get that column right down to the footer column? I have done it before, but I cannot do it again. Please don't judge me. Love Jared Hello all, I am making a website with the lay-out based on a table (I know I shouldn't, when will I ever learn? ;-)). The problem is the following: I have divided my page into several blocks: The lowest <td> row has been set at 544px while the top row has been set at auto. Firefox gives the correct output. In IE the lowest row is longer than 544 px (the red line gives the height it should have, the red arrow points to the real hight). Putting the height on 100% doesn't help because it stretches the top row over the complete page, leaving the bottom row out of the screen (the positive side of this is that now the bottom row is 544 px as I had orderd it to)... So does anyone have advice for me (besides the fact that I should make my lay-out with div's: tried it, but it just doesnt work for me :-)). Thanks for the help, JuliusV ps. I've checked my code (html and css) with w3 and no errors have been found. I made a preliminary layout for a website: index4-table-bad.html The problem is that it only works as intended in Opera browser. In IE and in FireFox a problem occurs: the <td id="td-menu2"> expands and shows the red background (I gave the red background intentionally to better see the problem). The "Article", "Menu1", and "News" will be dynamically generated (in php) and can have different heights. There is no option to predict which one will be the tallest. Please tell how should I correct the page so that: - <td id="td-menu"> should not expand and stay 35px heigh and the article should go just below it with 5px spacing (as it now works only in Opera) - as it is now, all areas should end at the bottom at the same level (I mean: "MENU1", "ARTICLE", "NEWS" should end at the same level/line at bottom). What would be the best way to improve this layout to correct abovementioned bug? I haven't been coding html for over 10 years so I am not sure how I should approach to this bug nowadays. Is it better to add Javascript or trasform this layout into divs instead of the table. But even with divs it will perhaps need Javascript to keep areas ends at bottom at same level. Or is there any better way than Javascript? I am working with current browser versions: Opera 9.64, IE 8, FireFox 3.0.10. Regards, Mark Im working on a website for my city City of Crescent Springs And im having an issue with the upcomming events div. i cannot get it to stretch to the footer Any help? I am using an iframe to insert some common text/links in several pages. I want the 'src' to take up just as much space (vertically) as it needs, without using scrollbars. My problem is that as time goes on, I may add, or remove things from the 'src'. I don't want to have to go back to the individual pages that have the iframe tag and re-adjust the height="xxx" bit. Is there a way to do this ? I dont understand why the wrapper won't stretch around the content... could someone please help me here... im baffled, as usual... http://pzpff.pzproductions.com OK so i have made this template and so far i like it but i have come accross a bit of an issue http://marlosweb.com/templates/test/contact.php OK so you see that little black bar on the left of the navigation? Well i want that to span the length of my page but 100% height wont work because CSS requires that the parent element has a fixed value. Does someone know how to cure this? How do I make my site height have a autoo height instead of me adding a hard coded height in pixels. MAtt I'm having a problem with a couple of cells that won't display at the same height. Firefox can do it properly but not IE7. IE7 will give it more height for no apparent reason. I'm not sure how to display my code in this post in a text box with scrollbars so I'm just gonna show the links to the relevant files. For the CSS part of the problem I've moved the CSS that controls the attributes of the problem areas to the top of the style.css page. url: www.innotechnutrition.com css: www.innotechnutrition.com/style.css P.S. Is there a program or a site I can go to where I can test my pages on all commonly used browsers? G'day guys, I've got a navigation DIV and a content div on the page, is there a way to make the nav DIV always the same height as the content DIV regardless of the amount of data I put in the content DIV? Thanks for any help guys, it's very much appreciated. Cheers, Jamie Is it possible to have an ifram at 100% height? I am embedding an iframe into my template so that I can have a forum within the template. Though the forum pages height changes and I wanted to set the iframe to 100% so that it will auto adjust. When I changed it to 100% it didn't work and it looks to be about 20 pixels high. Thanks, Nick Im having an issue with the table row heights on my page, i have three rows: The top row has the navigation menu, the second had a sub navigation menu (previous and next) to go between pages and then the third is has the content. I want the top to rows to snug up with the top of the table (like the top 25%) and then the content to be in the middle of the bottom row. Barring putting 'height="25%"' in the tr tag, is there a good way to do this? Thanks |
