I have this title bar <div> that contains some text. The position of the <div> is all working fine but but for some weird reason the text inside it is completely outside the <div> as follows in the JSFiddle code.
I seriously have tried everything but I just can't find out why this text is there. It may have something with the floating <div>'s above or the parent element (the <div>) being set to:
div#user_topics_box {
position: relative;
top: 134px;
left: 0px;
}
But I still don't understand how that is affecting the inner text. Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT:
The text is supposed to be inside the first black bar div above it.

You need to clear the floated containers preceding.
#user_topics_box {
clear: both;
left: 0;
position: relative;
top: 134px;
}
And make the floated containers to be contained in the parent container
#profile_area {
overflow: hidden;
}
Add overflow:auto or clear:left to .infobox:
.infobox {
border-right:2px inset #888;
border-left:2px inset #888;
border-bottom:2px inset #888;
overflow:auto;
}
jsFiddle example (overflow)
jsFiddle example (clear)
You should clear the float on #user_topics_title with something like clear: both;.
On your #user_topics_box you should set top: 0; and adjust the height to whatever fits your needs.

I have a layout using DIV tags and I have having a hard time controlling the fill of the div tags as well as unnecessary scroll bars. When the content in the "rightside" div tag doesn't fill the screen there is still a scroll bar on the page. How do I cut the tags so they don't fill past the first screen if not needed.
A second issue that I have is when there is enough content in the "rightside" div tag to create the need for a scroll bar, the background of the "sidebar" div tag does not extent to match the bottom of the "rightside"
I have played around with so many of the tag, I have no clue where to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Here is my CSS Code:
.content_container {
border:2px solid red;
overflow: auto;
height:100%;
}
#sidebar {
background:#a4c2c2;
width:231px;
font:12px georgia;
color: #336666;
line-height:18px;
float:left;
position: absolute;
overflow:hidden;
z-index:-1;
height:100%;
min-height:auto;
}
#sidebar div {
height:2000px;
}
#rightside {
float: left;
width: 500px;
height:100%;
margin-left:231px;
padding: 10px 0px 0px 25px;
}

EDIT-
I solved my issue, well almost, with a table. However there is a weird border issue happening and I can't seem to solve it. The side bar and rightside div tags dont seem to completely cover the content_container div. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I've understood your issue... You had a couple of stray /div tags plus you'd opened paragraphs with P and closed with /p and some duplicated classes in your CSS :)
EDIT - Updated fiddle; http://jsfiddle.net/richardblyth/L9afr65f/
The key is setting all relevant elements to
height: 100%;
position: relative;
And on your container
overflow: hidden;
See my fiddle :)
This should be incredibly trivial, but it's not. I have a predefined height for an anchor, and I would like to place the text at the bottom.
<li><a class="my-text">My Text</a></li>
I used the following CSS, which does not work. The text still appears at the top.
a.my-text {
background-color:#cccc;
height:50px;
vertical-align:bottom;
width:100px;
}
The idea is: I want to align text to the bottom, but if there is text that is longer than one line, I want the over flow to go to the top, not push everything else down... any ideas of how this could be achieved?
This can't be done using css and the html you provide. If you put an extra span in the anchor, it can be done:
a.my-text {
height: 50px;
display: block;
}
a.my-text span {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
You can use bottom:0px with position:absolute in anchor.
HTML
<li><a class="my-text">My Text</a></li>
CSS
li {
position: relative;
height:200px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
a.my-text {
bottom: 0px;
border: 1px solid blue;
position: absolute;
background-color:#cccc;
width:100px;
height:50px;
}
See in jsfiddle.
It definitely would not work, because <a> anchors are inline tags, therefore assigning them heights and widths is useless. The vertical-align property determines the positioning of inline elements with respect to the line they're in, not the vertical position of the text. (See http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/vertical-align) As far as I understand what you are requesting cannot be done. However, there are alternatives, as suggested above, to achieve similar effects.
The issue with your code is that the anchor won't respond to height/width because it is an inline element. If you you add a {display: block} to the anchor it's now a block element, but, as I recall, vertical-align doesn't work on the contents of block elements. This was the easiest way I could think of using display: table-cell.
a.my-text {
background-color: #ccc;
height: 200px; width: 100px;
vertical-align: bottom;
display: table-cell;
}
It sounds like you just need to get rid of the height rule on the anchor tag and use something like padding-top: 45px on the li
Is there anyway for an absolute positioned child to expand to fill its relative positioned parent? (The height of parent is not fixed)
Here is what i did and it is working fine with Firefox and IE7 but not IE6. :(
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1"></div>
</div>
#parent { position: relative; width: 200px; height:100%; background:red }
#child1 { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 200px; height: 100%; background:blue }
That's easy. The trick is setting top: 0px and bottom: 0px at the same time
Here's the working code
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#parent {
display: block;
background-color: #ff0;
border: 1px solid #f00;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
}
#child1 {
background-color: #f00;
display: block;
border: 1px solid #ff0;
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
Check out a working example here http://jsfiddle.net/Qexhh/
If I remember correctly there is a bug with how IE6 handles div height. It will only create the div to the height needed to contain the content within it when height is set to 100%. I would recommend two approaches:
Don't worry about supporting IE6 as it is a dead browser anyway
If that doesn't work, use something like jQuery to get the height of the parent div and then set the child div to that height.
fake it by setting the backgrounds to be the same colour so no-one notices the difference
You can achieve this with setting both the top and bottom attributes of the child.
See how this is done
At the bottom of that article, there is a link to Dean Edwards' IE7 (and IE8) js library that you should include for IE6 visitors. It is a JS library that actually MAKES IE6 behave like IE7 (or 8) when you include it. Sweet!

As far as I know, there is no way of expanding a parent element around an absolutely positioned child element. By making the child element absolutely positioned your are removing it from the regular flow of page items.
I recently built a 2-column website where the right column was absolutely positioned but the left column was not. If the left column had less content and a smaller height than the right column, the page would cut off the right column since it was absolutely positioned.
In order to resolve this, I had to determine if the height of the right column was greater than the height of the left column and if so set the height of the parent div height to the greater of the two.
Here is my jQuery solution. I'm not much of a coder so feel free to tweak this:
jQuery(function(){
var rightColHeight = jQuery('div.right_column').height();
var leftColHeight = jQuery('div.left_column').height();
if (rightColHeight > leftColHeight){
jQuery('.content_wrap').height(rightColHeight+'px');
}
});
I've found a lot of similar questions, and tried out several solutions (including some of the so-called "holy grail" CSS layouts), but they don't quite do what I need.
I have a containing div (a CSS containing block) with id right. Inside it on the left side, I want a fixed-width div (a splitter bar, but it doesn't matter what it's being used for; id splitpane); on the right, filling the rest of the space, another div (id right-box below).
I've tried making the two inner divs display: inline-block (with vertical-align: top), setting the left one to width: 3px, but then there's no way to set the right to have width 100% - 3px. I've also tried using the float: left/margin-left: -100%/margin-left: 3px trick, but it has the same problem: the 100% plus the 3px overflows the parent containing block and causes a scroll bar to pop up. (Of course, it's not the scroll bar per se that's the problem; I could use overflow: hidden to remove it, but then content on the right would be truncated.)
Currently I'm using width: 99.5% for the right div, but that's a terrible hack (and is subject to overflow depending on screen width). It looks a bit like this:
<div id="right"><div id="splitpane"></div><div id="right-box">
...
</div></div>
With CSS as follows (float version, but the inline-block version is similar):
#right {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
width: 85%; /* this is part of a larger div */
}
#right-box {
width: 99.5%; /* stupid hack; actually want 100% - 3px for splitter */
height: 100%;
}
#splitpane {
float: left;
width: 3px;
height: 100%;
background: white;
border-left: solid gray 1px;
border-right: solid gray 1px;
cursor: e-resize;
}
Is it even possible to do this? This is for an internal app., so solutions only need to work in Firefox 3 (if they are specific to FF3, though, preferably it's because the solution is standards-compliant but other browsers aren't, not because it's using Firefox-only code).
DIVs are the wrong element type for this since they don't "talk" to each other. You can achieve this easily with a table:
<table style="width:200px">
<tr>
<td id="splitpane" style="width: 3px">...</td>
<td id="rightBox" style="width: 100%">...</td>
<tr>
</table>
The 100% will make the rightBox as wide as possible but within the limits of the table.
This is possible. Because block level elements automatically expand to take up any remaining horizontal space, you can utilise a block level element next to an uncleared floated element with your desired width.
<style type="text/css">
div {
height: 100px;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#left {
background: #FF0;
}
#splitpane {
position: relative;
float: right;
background: #000;
width: 3px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="splitpane"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
</div>
See http://jsfiddle.net/georeith/W4YMD/1/
why you didn't use margin-left (since it was float layout) on right box?
so no need to create a splitter div...
#right{
width:200px; /*specify some width*/
}
#rightbox{
float:left;
margin-left: 3px; /*replace the splitter*/
/*margin: 0 3px; /*use this to give left & right splitter*/ */
}
yeah something like that, i hate empty div, it's not semantic and it's like putting a splitter on the "old" table way
If the div #right-box is only going to contain non-floated content it might be an idea to just put the content inside #right instead and let it wrap around the floated #splitpane.
How can I get an image to stretch the height of a DIV class?
Currently it looks like this:
However, I would like the DIV to be stretched so the image fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image.
Here is the CSS for the DIV (the grey box):
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
}
The CSS being applied on the image:
.product{
display: inline;
float: left;
}
So, how can I fix this?
Add overflow:auto; to .product1
In the markup after the image, insert something like <div style="clear:left"/>. A bit messy, but it's the easiest way I've found.
And while you're at it, put a bit of margin on that image so the text doesn't butt up against it.
Assuming #John Millikin is correct, the code
.product + * { clear: left; }
would suffice to do the same thing without forcing you to manually adjust the code after the div.
One trick you can use is to set the <div>'s overflow property to hidden. This forces browsers to calculate the physical size of the box, and fixes the weird overlap problem with the floated image. It will save you from adding in any extra HTML markup.
Here's how the class should look:
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This looks like a job for clearfix to me ...
Try the following:
.Strech
{
background:url(image.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
display:inline
float:left
is your problem
Floating makes the parents width not be stretched by the child, try placing the image without the float. If you take the float off, it should give you the desired effect.
Another approach would be to make sure you are clearing your floats at the end of the parent element so that they don't scope creep.
Update: After viewing your link Your height issue as displayed, is because the floats are not being cleared.
