HTML - Div Is Not Extending To Length Of Containing Divs
hello, new member here so hiya!
I have a site and I have a div containing all the page. At first I gave it a height just so I could put CSS in and see what it's like. After I have taken out the height though, the div shrinks to like 1 pixel. Why isn't it as long as it's containing divs - including left column, main section, footer? Many thanks Similar TutorialsI have a menu made up of one div and within that div are more divs to make up the separate menu items. I am trying to add a background colour to the holding div but it's not having any effect. When I investigate the div order in web developer it shows that it's not extending to the height of the menu divs inside it. Please help. It's menu_nav I am trying to put a background on.

Hi there, I am currently building a website in dreamweaver. It's going slow but so far I have overcome ever problem with the help of people like you! The problem I'm at at the moment is pretty tricky. If you visit. http://aquariusspa.co.uk/flw%5Fver2/flw_ver2.html This site I built with photoshop and then exported as html. Now i'm adding content and the nav bar (which isn't quite working right!). So what i'm looking to do is have the main box (one with welcome in it) change height depending on what i enter in to it. Every page has different amount of text. Now I could just build every page in photoshop for the desired page height but surely there must be a way of stretching what i've got with out wreaking the graphics. Thanks in advance. S Hello everyone! I need some of your expertise to help me figure out this problem: http://uberdome.net/rustest/?page=club on this page, as you can see, the left column doesn't extend fully even though i have height:100% in my css. Please help me fix this.. you can download the css file at: http://uberdome.net/rustest/styles/style1.css Thanks. I have a website in the making that has two side bars that are jpges. I am using show/hide div tags that extend the page to stretch to match the content it is showing. How can I make the side bars extend to fill in the gap when the page needs to become bigger? This is what I tried thus far... The sidebars have a gradient to them to make it look like steel so I took a small piece and cut it and made it a jpeg. I then made an extra row under the side bars and set this cut jpeg as a background image. That didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...iframessi2.htm This is the tutorial I followed. I did everything it said to do and it worked on my index page where the iframe is located. The only problem is when I try to load a new page into that iframe the iframe doesn't extend and scroll bars appear. On the tutorial there is an example of what i'm talking about. Does anybody know why the other page doesn't extend? Here is an exmaple: http://www.dejavulifestyle.com/dvsite/example.html It's the video page that i'm trying to open in the iframe. Edit: I meant to type dynamically in the title. Hello! I have an <a> tag with display block set which is good as it makes it as wide as its container. However, I want to give it more height than it currently has, 100% is possibile. Inside the <a> tag there is an <img> tag with the image being very poor in height, it's a line of text with special font. How can I get the <a> to be higher please? Thanks! Hi, I'm kind of new to HTML and I've been trying to make a website that has 3 frames in it. One frame extends across the entire top of the page and has about a 100 pixel height. The second frame extends the entire length of the page, but only has a width of about 200 pixels. Which leaves the rest for the thrid frame. I'm doing this so that frames one and two don't change and all of the content changes in the third frame. I'm running into an issue, because I cannot figure out how to get one frame extend across the top and one fram extend the length of the page. I can do one or the other but not both. is there any way that I can configure the columns and rows so that the page takes on this look? Thank you. here is a visual of what I'm trying to do: Code: ____________________ | 1 | |__________________| | | | | | | | 2 | 3 | | | | -------------------- Hi All, Is there any maximum length for tooltip for html tags? How can I determine the possible max length? Rahul.... Please take a look at this page: http://lifeengineering.org/ Try out the menu links and see what I'm talking about. The "short" pages shift horizontally. In other words, if the div block with the content doesn't reach the bottom of the browser window, then it's rendered in a different horizontal position. So, changing the pages through the menu makes the pages appear to "jump". NOTE: You'll need a reasonably big resolution to see what I'm talking about (e.g. 1152 x 864+). Any suggestions on how to correct this? Is there a way to pad blank spaces at the end of my content in the div block to ensure that it always reaches the end of the browser window? Or something similar? ------ Issue #2: My background isn't ideal. I like the rainbow, but I'd like to change it. If I wanted to make the rainbow arc appear stationary as I scroll the page (i.e. to have the upper left arc of the rainbow always appear on the upper left corn of the screen), how would I do it? Any other suggestions, artistically, with respect to the page background? Thank you kindly! This is one of these things where you probably should just go to bed and forget all the confusion. My question: How the heck can you specify the length of the option field for a drop town list? I am sure ther is an embarrasingly simple answer. Thanks a lot and good night! hi, I have this:<form > <input id="Email" maxlength="40" name="Email" size="40" type="text" value=""><br /> <input id="pwd" maxlength="40" name="pwd" size="40" type="password" value=""> <label for="Submit"> </label> <input id="Submit" name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> In Safari and Firefox, the two boxes look the same length, you can see from diff_ff.jpg, but in IE, it looks different(please see diff.jpg), if I change "password" to "text" they will look the same in length, any solution to this? Thanks, A.C. Hi. I have a very discrete light blue color in the background from a previous template. It ends about halfway through the bottom area and I'd like to extend it throughout the entire page without moving/overwriting anything else please. www.movehumanityforward.com Thank you The adage of 'give a man a fish and he'll be fed; give a man Dreamweaver and he thinks he's a designer' is alive and well with these glitches. http://www.zenarchy.co.uk/test11.htm is a design draft and there are two problems. The first is that the central span that houses 'High quality call recording software' doesn't match up to the end and sit flush. It's almost there in firefox but is miles off in IE. I'd like it to work in both. <td width="100%" height="22" bgcolor="#91a2a0"> <p align="center"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>High quality call recording software</strong></font></b></td> is the code I've identified as relevant, but opening the hood and checking the source might be wiser! 2. How do I extend the columns on either side to sit flush at the bottom against the graphite baseline? Your thoughts please (aside from get a pro to do it...) Cheers! Hi, I'm writing a website using tables (0 border and space etc.) so that things don't move around on different computers and browsers. However, I've run into a bit of trouble with a particular cell. The one in questions is my navigation menu. I have it written in php as a separate page and used the include tag to load it onto the index. It consists of a table of height 600 and a single column with a couple of cells. Now, from my reasoning, the the 600 table height of the nagivation menu/page should easily fit into the 600 cell height of it's space on the index. This is reflected when I view the page using IE - all of the border/frame images that I had made went together perfectly. However, when I view the page with FireFox, the navigation menu seems to be too short in that the first navigation cell does not immediately appear after the top border line. There is a blank white space. Also, it seems to have stretched that particular row because the right most border on the index, which is not connected to anything else and is it's own image, is centerized so that there is white space left (indicating the cell was incremented height wise). Does anyone know if this is a fixable discrepancy? A link to the test page is: VA Test Page I can provide a link to the menu page if it's needed... Anxiously awaiting a reply whether it's related or not How do I figure out the lenght of the page (content, not browser window) so that I can make all of my regions line up at the bottom? I noticed that % in the height attribute is related to the window not content. I have also tried auto, but that is different for different content. My page has an outside region, a left nav bar and a content region, and I don't know how to make the bottom line up without tables. Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks in advance. Ok I know this isn't really a HTML issue, but to avoid complex clientside pixel-counting of fonts I've thought of something far more simple. I need to limit the length of a string to stop it wrapping. The first step is to limit the string's length in characters, using the following php script: PHP Code: function trim_string($string) { $trim_string = '...'; $chars = 55; $chars_adjusted = $chars - strlen($trim_string); if (strlen($string) > $chars) { $string = substr($string,0,$chars_adjusted); $string .= $trim_string; } return $string; } Fine, no problem. Now however the strings are not all of equal length because of differences in length of each character (see the warmdebate.com homepage for my debacle). I thought that a relatively simple solution would be to simple use some sort of CSS or HTML wizardry to stretch the trimmed string to a fixed length (like full alignment, only for a non-wrapped string). Since this doesn't involve pixel counting or anything like that I figure it should be doable in CSS or HTML. Also, if there are any standard solutions to this other than what I'm proposing please let me know! hi My code is- <HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE> <TR><TD> <SELECT NAME="Date"> <OPTION>1</OPTION> <OPTION>2</OPTION> : : <OPTION>30</OPTION> <OPTION>31</OPTION> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> it will show the numbers from 1 to 31 in the drop down with long scrollbar. My problem is - I want show only 10 numbers.User need to scroll and select other numbers. Is it possible? Hi, I am new in web designing. I need your guidance. I want to break a word if it is longer than table width. May be I am not good at Engilsh. So I'll explain it using example. Following is my code. Code: <html> <body> <table align="justify" width="100" border"3"> <tr> <td> TE-sdf-sdf-hkjd </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> As here you can see the word "TE-sdf-sdf-hkjd" length is more than 100px. So the width of table becomes more than 100px. I want to break the word and fix the width of table to 100px. How can I achieve that? Waiting for your reply. I have a left menu column but it's not stretching down the length of the page. The page is quite long and when the links are finished on left column it just ends and as it has abackground colour it looks a little strange. It is floated left and the main_section is also floated left. It is the main section div that is long. I was thinking because this is in a div that the left coumn is also in that the left column would therefore stretch to the length of it's parent div. Any ideas? http://absolute-websites.com/services.html is the link so you can see what I'm talking about. Here is a section of the HTML : HTML Code:
<div class="left_column">
<div class="breadcrumb"><p><a href="index.html">home ></a>services</p></div>

I am trying to make a page that has a DTML (dynamic expanding links), and a right hand column - Below is my code. I want to make the right hand colunm (most common questions grey area) a fixed height. It seems to be the length of the page as if all the menus are clicked on and opened even if they are closed. How can I make it a fixed height regardless of how many links (dhtml) are opned or not so that most common questions are no longer than say 500 pixles. Any suggestions would be handy. I can send code / page as its to long to paste here! Thanks, Ryan |
