HTML - Div Height Issue.
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? Similar TutorialsIm 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? Hi All, I have an iframe in my page. I change its height from a button inside the iframe using javascript. for example: parent.document.getElementById('iframe').style.height="100px"; The problem is that if the iframe height was 500px for example, and I changed it to 100px then the whole iframe is shrink down. I mean that the 100px are the top 100px but they are appear in the button of the iframe and there are 400px empty at the beginning. Any Idea how to change it? Thanks in advance I'm having a bit of trouble with an iframe. I'm wanting my iframe to automatically adjust to the height of whatever page loads into it. Is that possible? My code is as follows: HTML Code: <iframe src="test.html" name="_blank" width="656" height="100%"></iframe> I'm building all the page that should load in the iframe to be the proper width, but I was hoping to make the iframe automatically adjust to the height. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a simple 2 column 2 row table that looks like the code below. I want to expand cell 2's height without expanding cell 1's height. I need this to be dynamic due to different users seeing different heights in cell 2. Cell 3's height can change all it wants to...I just dont want cell 1's height to change!! <html> <head> <title>Height Issue</title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td width="100px" height="100px"style="background-color: ##00FF00">cell 1</td> <td rowspan="2" width ="100px" height="200px"style="background-color: #00FFFF">Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td width ="100px"height="100px"style="background-color: #FFFF00">Cell 3</td> </table> </body> </html> Hi, First, please excuse me if this has been answered before. I wasn't able to find any similar posts that has a solution and thus I'm making this new thread. What I have is a simple table with two sections just like this: Code: <table> <tr> <td width='50%' valign='top'> Content goes here... </td> <td width='50%' valign='top'> Content 2 goes here... </td> </tr> </table> Inside those two sections I have a fieldset in each of them (yes, I know this might sound weird, but that's how I need it to be). The question is, how can I make the height of both <td> (or alternatively the fieldset value) to be equal, in a situation when the data is a dynamical one and I don't know its size initially. It looks ugly if one of the rows is longer than the other and I would like to justify them in some way. I tried setting height attribute but to no avail. Any thoughts how this can be achieved? Thank you in advance for your help! Hello Gurus, I have a webpage with two tables in it.

The layout and several pages have tables (I know i shouldn't be doing a table-based layout but my CSS skills aren't close enough to do what the site requires). The tables work fine w/o the DOCTYPE declaration which makes the browser work in Quirks Mode, but I don't want a site without the doctype of course. The problem is, when I use any kind of doctypes (and I've tried them all) my table cells go crazy. Check it out: Without doctype: http://smpt.comuf.com/index3.htm (correct view) With doctype: http://smpt.comuf.com/index2.htm (layout error) Another error: Normal: http://smpt.comuf.com/index3.htm?pagina=downloadr With doctype: http://smpt.comuf.com/index2.htm?pagina=downloadr. To make things simpler, I remade the menu part accordingly to the CSS rules and the height property in Dreamweaver 8 I even validated the page ( http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...00=1;verbose=1 - 0 errors). In the editor, the page appears as follow: But when you see it in a browser, the problem still happens: http://smpt.comuf.com/indexe2.htm This is just because the doctype is present, but I made everything according to the rules, but still the same error... So, any ideas? =/ Please help me understand! I'm trying to create a page that has several static height table rows and one row that has an iframe that I want to expand to fill the height of the browser window. Here is a link to the test page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9536793/testWITHframe.html Here is the CSS used by the page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9536793/test.css Here is the page loaded into the iframe of the main page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9536793/testblankframe.html So, there are three rows at the top (Title, Menu, and Button rows). At the bottom are two rows (Bottom row and Copyright row). In the middle is the row that contains the iframe that I want to fill the page height. It works correctly in Firefox 4 and Chrome. However, in IE 9 (standards mode), the frame is too tall, so a scroll bar is added to the page and the bottom area is pushed off the end of the window. Bah IE!! If I take off the DOCTYPE, or use an older DOCTYPE, IE goes into Quirks mode, and then the page appears correctly (sort of). However, I'm trying to use HTML 5 rules, so I want to just use DOCTYPE html. I also need IE in Standards mode so that a charting tool that I am trying to use wiill work right. I just can't get all of the technologies to play together! Anyway, I know iframe are sometimes frowned upon, but we use a page layed out like this and then load various pages into the iframe based on what the user selects in the menu. I don't particularly like it either, but don't know a good alternative. (I'm open to suggestions for that as well). Any assistance with getting the height to fill the page (and no more) that will work in all IE (8 and 9 standards mode), FF, and Chrome would be appreciated. Thanks. Hi 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 have a div and within that my navigation menu. 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. 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 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. 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 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?

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. 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?

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. 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~ I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have two DIVs. One is 43px high and 100% width. The second I want to be 100% high - 43 px. Is there a way to do this with CSS without resorting to Javascript? Many thanks. 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 |
