I have a vertical div with five little divs inside. Now, I want the first two and the last two to have specific heights, and the one in the middle to be changeable, depending on the amount of content inside of it. Also, there should probably be a minimum height to the entire div, so it can fit the page nicely, and the bottom two divs are supposed to be fixed to the bottom of the page. I am only allowed to use CSS. Since I don't have any code for this, let's say those four fixed divs have the height of 100px, and they are named #one, #two, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Can you just use:
.two {
min-height: 100px;
height: auto;
}

You can do the following, all you have to do is set the elements
display:block;
here's an example:
#container{
border:1px solid black;
}
.element{
display: block;
height:100px;
width:100px;
margin:0px;
border:1px solid;
}
<div id="container">
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
</div>

I am trying to create two same-height columns using display:table-cell, and then place a third same-height overlay div over the top of the first two columns to hide them. The two same-height columns work. But I can't figure out how to make the third div the same height as the first two, AND be on top of them.
Goals:
Column 1 and 2 must be the same height at all times. The height
cannot be explicitly set, they must both take the height of whichever
column is taller based on the column's contents.
The cover must be the exact height and width of the row it covers, not explicitly set.
I am looking for a solution that does not use JavaScript.
Please see the following fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rEAYb/1/
HTML
Some filler content that should not be covered.
<div class="Table">
<div class="Row">
<div class="Cell Left">
Left<br/>
sdfgsdfg<br/>
sdfgsd<br/>
fgsdfg<br/>
sdfg<br/>
dsfgsdfg<br/>
sdfgsdfgdsfg<br/>
</div>
<div class="Cell Right">Right</div>
<div class="Cell Cover"> </div>
</div>
</div>
Some filler content that should not be covered.
CSS
.Table{
display:table;
}
.Row{
display: table-row;
position:relative;
}
div.Cell{
padding:18px;
padding-bottom:60px;
padding-top:40px;
width:480px;
display: table-cell;
}
div.Cover{
background:#444;
opacity:.5;
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}
div.Left{
background:green;
}
div.Right{
background:blue;
}
You can get the effect that you want as follows:
First, alter the HTML as follows:
<div class="Cover"></div>
The overlay can be a simple block element, so remove the .Cell class. Note that the .Cover element can be left empty.
The CSS needs to be adjusted as follows:
.Table {
display:table;
position:relative;
}
.Row {
display: table-row;
}
div.Cover {
background:#444;
opacity: 0.9;
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
left:0;
right: 0;
}
Apply position: relative to .Table instead of .Row.
On div.cover, add the additional box offsets for bottom and right.

This positioning relies on CSS 2.1 so it should pretty much in most browsers.
I have 3 divs vertically. The first should have 100% width, the second should have an image with width 283px, and third div should have 100% width.
Does anyone know how to position the image div in the middle of two others divs 100%?
I've tried this, but dont works for me
<div class="content">
<div class="first">1</div>
<div class="third">3</div>
<div class="second">2</div>
</div>
.first{
width:100%;
float:left;
background:yellow;
}
.third{
width:100%
float:right;
background:pink;
}
.second{
width:283px;
overflow:hidden;
background:blue;
}enter code here
If your intention is to position the divs next to each other horizontally than you can't have any of them set to a width of 100% as the total of all elements next to each other can only total 100%.
If your website will be fixed width than your easiest solution would be to set the width of the left and right div in pixels to the (width of the site - 283) / 2. Then they would float next to each other. You could also do this with %.
However if your site is fluid width, then you would need to work out a percentage for all 3 divs i.e 33% each but this would mean the middle won't be exactly 283px.
The only way I can think to make this work exactly as you want would be to use Javascript to resize the elements after the page load which could then get the browser dimensions and work it all out.
Having read it a few times i think i get what you want to do.
You want he middle div to be centred between the two other divs.
you need to give the div a class something like this:
.middlediv
{
width: 283px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
which can also be written like this:
.middlediv
{
width: 283px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Your question isn't clear, so I've done both possible interpretations: http://jsfiddle.net/EbBzY/
HTML
<h1>Option 1</h1>
<div class="main">
<div class="content">
<div class="first">1</div>
<div class="second">2</div>
<div class="third">3</div>
</div>
</div>
<h1>Option 2</h1>
<div class="content">
<div class="first">1</div>
<div class="second">2</div>
<div class="third">3</div>
</div>
CSS
.main{
display:table;
width:100%;
margin-bottom:100px;
}
.main .content{
display:table-row;
}
.main .content div{
display:table-cell;
}
.first{
background:yellow;
}
.third{
background:pink;
}
.second{
background:blue;
width:283px;
margin:auto;
}
I am trying to use CSS to get a DIV to fill the remaining page width, after a fixed-width div on the left (and below a fixed-height header)
The CSS I have is:
body{margin:0;padding:0}
#header{height: 100px; background:#ccccff;}
#left {position:absolute; left:0; top:100px; width:200px; background:#ccffcc;}
#main {position:relative; left:200px; background:#ffcccc;}
The HTML is:
<div id="header">Header stuff here</div>
<div id="left">Left stuff here</div>
<div id="main">Main stuff here</div>
(head and doctype omitted here for brevity)
When it is rendered, the main div is still full page width, meaning the right-hand edge is 200px off the right edge of the browser. How can I get the main div to fill the remaining width?
(eventually I will want to put other divs inside main, and make their widths expressed in % relative to the main div)
Is this even possible?
Don't use position. Use Floats. Float the "left" div left, set its width. Give the "main" div a left-margin of the width of the left div, and set the width to auto.
#left { float: left; width: 200px;}
#main {margin-left: 201px; width: auto;}
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/GhtHp/1/
Instead of using positioning which is considered evil, just use floats.
#left {float:left; width:200px; background:#ccffcc;}
#main {margin-left:200px; background:#ffcccc;}
DEMO
Does this accomplish what you're looking for?
HTML -
<div id="header">Header stuff here</div>
<div id="left">Left stuff here</div>
<div id="main">Main stuff here</div>
CSS -
div {
border: 1px solid black;
}
#left {
float: left;
}

Yes, it's easily possible with CSS calc. Unfortunately CSS calc is only supported in Chrome so far.
Here's a better way:
HTML:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
CSS:
#header{height: 100px; width: 100%; background:#ccccff}
#main{position: absolute; left: 200px; right: 0; background:#ffcccc}
#left{width: 200px; left: 0}
Having #main exactly 200px from the left and 0px from the right gives you the full width minus #left
I have two divs in my page: leftpart and rightpart which has the following css:
.leftpart{
width:280px;
background:#0054a6;
color:#fff;
padding-top:40px;
height:100%;
min-height:637px;
box-shadow:3px 3px 10px #bebebe;
position:relative;
}
.rightpart{
width:75%;
padding-left:10px;
}
I want this sidebar(leftpart) till the end of my page(till the bottom). I've set the height to 100% but when I minimize the browser it shows the white space below the bar instead of showing blue background. I mean it does not take its height as 100%. How can I get that?
For a full length sidebar your best bet is probably the old faux columns method. You could do this in CSS but this is probably easier for you.
Put basically you want an image with your column background's in a thin long strip. You then add this as a background image to your parent div and it acts as pretend full height columns.
eg.
.container {
background: url(your_image) repeat-y left top;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="sidebar">SIDEBAR</div>
<div class="content">CONTENT</div>
</div>
You can read more about it here - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/
If you want to try this in CSS you could try the negative margins trick.
You set your container up with overflow set to hidden, then on each div add negative margin-bottom and equal positive padding-bottom.
#container { overflow: hidden; }
#container div { float: left; background: #ccc; width: 200px; margin-bottom: -2000px; padding-bottom: 2000px; }
#container .col2 { background: #eee; }
<div id="container">
<div>
SIDEBAR
</div>
<div class="col2">
CONTENT
</div>
</div>
I have a main div, and three divs inside of it. They are all given a width 30%, and they are all centered within the main div.
I used display: inline-block; so that the three divs appear next to each other, but when I give them a height of anything, the two left-most go down a bit, and the right one stays where it should. All that's inside the divs is just simple inputs, nothing that could dynamically increase the div's size.
How should I fix this?
It's quite hard to work out the issue without any live code but give these a go. For the DIVs inside the main DIV, assign the class vertical-align:top
Another option (or as well as) is to set the line-height to the desired height rather than the height.
If you have no luck with these, I suggest you put your html and css up on jsfiddle.
Yes. the three inside divs must be floated to the left so that they should align exactly. without floating, they can create problems in different browsers.
CSS Code
#wrapper { width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
.inner { width: 30%; float:left; min-height:50px; margin:0 5px 0 0;}
HTML Code
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner" style=" margin:0;"></div>
</div>
Here's a working solution. http://jsfiddle.net/j3zjg/
<style>
#container{
width:500px;
height:300px;
border:1px solid red;
}
#container div{
width:30%;
float:left;
height:40px;
background:red;
margin-right:5px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
