I want to expand header and footer to 100% with the variable middle content width.
you can find the source at http://jsfiddle.net/9dWcZ/
HTML:
<div class="header">
this is header
</div>
<div class="content">
this is content
</div>
<div class="footer">
this is footer
</div>
CSS:
.header, .footer {
width:100%;
background:#999;
height:200px;
position:relative;
float:left;
clear:both;
display:block;
}
.content {
width:2500px;
height:100px;
background:#9B191B;
float:left;
}
I don't want fixed header and no change in structure..
Please help..
thanks,
You can achieve this layout as follows.
You need to add a .wrapper element, this is essential:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">this is header</div>
<div class="content">this is content</div>
<div class="footer">this is footer</div>
</div>
For the CSS:
.wrapper {
display: table;
}
.header, .footer {
width:100%;
background:#999;
height:200px;
}
.content {
width:2500px;
height:100px;
background:#9B191B;
}
The key is to apply display: table to the .wrapper block.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/7jxLC/
So you want to expand it starting from the middle point?
If that's what you want you can use:
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
It will start to grow in width from the center then.

I am trying to create a layout as follows
Here's the CSS I used
#leftcol { width:15%; position:fixed; float:left;background-color:aliceblue;}
#main { width:50%; height:400px; float:right;background-color:black;}
#comments { display:block; width:50%; float:right; height: 500px; }
This is how my Div's are laid out
<div id="leftcol"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="comments"></div>
Looks like I am missing something. Any help? The height of each div should be flexible to accomodate it's content
I think you want to add a clear to your comments
clear: right;
http://jsfiddle.net/x9rZj/1/
Here you go: Remove the height from all the divs if you want it to be flexible as you add content, you could also add a min-height:200px; so no matter how much content you have its going to be at least 200px high.
http://jsfiddle.net/5tQt2/
try the following styles
<style>
#leftcol { width:15%; height:100%; float:left;background:blue;}
#main { width:50%; height:400px; float:left;background:black;}
#comments { display:block; width:50%; float:left; height: 500px; background:red;}
</style>
<div id="leftcol"> </div>
<div id="main"> </div>
<div id="comments"> </div>
I'm currently working on a website, but it's important that it must fit on every page. I have 5 divs horizontal. The 3 divs in the middle are fixed sizes, 200 px, 400 px and again 200px. Now I have one on the far left and one of the far right, that should be equally big and fill out the screen no matter what resolution you're viewing the website in. So the middle part should be in the middle, and the 2 divs on the left and right of the middle part should fill out the screen. I have tried several techniques explained in other threads, but most are only for the left, or only for the right part and not working for both left and right. Maybe someone has a solution?
My HTML
<div id="left">
test
</div>
<div id="buttonsleft">
test
</div>
<div id="middle">
test
</div>
<div id="buttonsright">
test
</div>
<div id="right">
test
</div>
My CSS
#left{
float:left;
background-color:#C00;
width:15%;
height:100%;
}
#buttonsleft{
float:left;
background-color:#3F0;
width:200px;
height:100%;
}
#middle{
float:left;
background-color:#30F;
width:400px;
margin:auto;
}
#buttonsright{
float:left;
background-color:#3FF;
width:200px;
height:100%;
}
#right{
float:left;
background-color:#300;
width:15%;
height:100%;
}
Can be easily done using the CSS table layout.
See that Working Fidde
If the view port is smaller then 1000px wide, then the divs will shrink.
[you didn't specify what should happend if the view port is less then 1000px]
HTML:
<div class="Container">
<div id="left">left</div>
<div id="buttonsleft">buttonsleft</div>
<div id="middle">middle</div>
<div id="buttonsright">buttonsright</div>
<div id="right">right</div>
</div>
CSS:
* {
font-size: 25px;
color: white;
}
.Container
{
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.Container > div
{
display: table-cell;
}
#left {
background-color:#C00;
}
#buttonsleft {
background-color:#3F0;
width:200px;
}
#middle {
background-color:#30F;
width:400px;
}
#buttonsright {
background-color:#3FF;
width:200px;
}
#right {
background-color:#300;
}
I think it's my lack of css knowledge, but i don't get this thing working. My purpose is to have a container div which have the MAXIUMUM witdh of 800px and aligned in the middle of the page, with one or two elements per 'row', depending on the available screen-space. But in the example you see that the whole 800px is taken. How to accomplish that the 800px is only the max?
HTML:
<div style="background-color:red;max-width:800px;display: inline-block">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.contentgedeelte {
width:310px;
background:white;
margin:10px;
float:left;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/plunje/LmJSy/
OK, here you go:
#container {
width:800px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
.row {
display:inline-block;
background:red;
margin:0 auto;
}
.contentgedeelte {
width:310px;
background:white;
margin:10px;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
You'll need to add a .row element to wrap your contentgedeeltes in pairs (if that's how you want them displayed). To be honest you're better off just calculating the widths properly, but if you really can't, try this. Also, I've taken your container element, remove the inline styling and added the ID #container.
Use display: block; instead of inline.
Inline-block is for elements which line up side by side, not for pagewraps. If this is a center of the page container there is no need to display inline.
If you want the articles to display as inline elements, that seems to work.
Or just tally your styles to add up to 400px instead of 340px.
You need a little more structure. See below.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container {
max-width: 800px;
background-color: red;
padding: 1em;
overflow: hidden;
}
.contentgedeelte {
width:48%;
background:white;
margin:1%;
float:left;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
display: block;
}
I'm a newbie with html so please be patient.
I'm trying to align 4 divs in parallel where the first,third and fourth div are static,the second div is empty and i need it to occupy the remain place e.g "width:auto".
I don't want to use table to solve the problem.
Is there a way to solve it using divs?
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="content" >
first
</div>
<div class="empty">
</div>
<div class="content">
third
</div>
<div class="content">
fourth
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
strong textwidth:1020px;
height:40px;
}
.content{
position:relative;
background-color:#2cc2e7;
height:40px;
width:142px;
float:right;
margin-right:5px;
}
.empty{
background-color:#f1d486;
height:40px;
width:auto;
margin-right:5px;
}
You will need to change the order of the elements:
<div class="container">
<div class="first content">first</div>
<div class="content">third</div>
<div class="content">fourth</div>
<div class="empty"></div>
</div>
And then just float the first one to the left, other two to the right, and the .empty one, don't float it but set an overflow to auto —or hidden.
.content {
float: right;
width: 142px;
}
.first {
float: left;
}
.empty {
overflow: auto;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/GTbnz/
If you are prepared to add below the empty div then you could use the following:
<div class="empty">
</div>
with a style sheet of:
.container {
width:1020px;
height:40px;
display:table;
width:100%;
}
.container div {
height:40px;
display:table-cell;
}
.content {
background-color:#2cc2e7;
width:142px;
max-width:142px;
}
.empty {
background-color:#f1d486;
}
This was whichever of the 4 div's has a class 'empty' will auto-expand to fill the available space and the other div sizes will all be 142 px.
I already have seen a couple of questions going in this direction, but nothing helped. Everyone says just set the parent div position to relative and the child ones to absolute. But my problem is that every div is at the 0/0 point of my parent div. It seems the inner elements doesn't know from each other.
Here is what my page should look like:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/854/unbenanntgoc.png/
In my html I just define my divs:
<div id="content">
<div id="header" />
<div id="naviContent" />
<div id="imageContent" />
<div id="tagContent" />
<div id="textContent" />
</div>
So navi image and tag content divs should float.
And this is how my css looks like:
#charset "utf-8";
body {
background-color:#33FF00;
}
#header {
height:100px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
position:relative;
}
#naviContent {
width:25%;
background-color:#F0F;
float:left;
}
#imageContent {
background-color:#000;
position:absolute;
float:left;
width:800px;
height:600px;
}
#tagContent {
background-color:#900;
position:absolute;
float:left;
width: 25%;
}
#textContent {
background-color:#0000FF;
clear:both;
}
#content {
height:1600px;
width:1200px;
background-color:#999999;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding:10px;
position:relative;
}
So maybe anyone can tell me why all my elements (black, yellow, red, grey and green) are positioned to the 0/0 point of the pink one?
Thanks in advance
You need to close the DIV properly -
<div id="content">
<div id="header">Header </div>
<div id="naviContent">Nav</div>
<div id="imageContent">Image</div>
<div id="tagContent"> Tags</div>
<div id="textContent">Text </div>
</div>
EDIT: Working Fiddle You need to adjust floated width and you are done!
Position absolute is not the standard way of laying out a page.
What you should do is just remove the position attribute, float everything left and set widths (please note you will need content in the div for it to render correctly).
You might want to look into CSS grid systems such as 960.gs as they handle this part of development for you in a standardised way using pre-defined classes.
you should code like this : - http://tinkerbin.com/J9CCZXRL
CSS
#content {
background:pink;
width:500px;
padding:10px;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
overflow:hidden;
}
#header {
background:red;
height:100px;
}
#left {
background:green;
width:100px;
height:400px;
float:left;
}
#middle {
background:blue;
width:260px;
float:left;
height:400px;
margin-left:10px;
}
#right {
background:yellow;
width:100px;
float:right;
height:400px;
}
#footer {
background:grey;
height:100px;
clear:both;
}
