I am building a web site for home made jewelry. I'd like it nice and centered ( for all those ppl with low resolution ) so all of the titles, navigation and content are in a single div, that I positioned in the center. On the left ( inside the div, everything is inside the div ) I have my vertical navigation sidebar div. On the right I have the title and the content. So far so good. Now to the problem:
I would like my sidebar to have a right border all the way from the top of the page to the bottom ( with 1em margins if possible ). The trick is that my content to the right variate from text to pictures and forms and is quite different on every page - when the content is larger then the screen the screen scrolls and in which case I'd like my sidebar border to scroll down with it - I've not been able to do that.
I think I have done quite a reading - my closest solution was to set the border's position to static but this quite obviously isn't working when the site is centered. So to the question - is there any CSS only way to make the sidebar div's height dynamic or something and define it to expand with the content to the right? This way the border will always reach the bottom.
Wrap your navigation in another div. Give this new div a height of 100% and assign it a border-right CSS property. You can also set padding too. Hope this helps.
How about giving left border to the content section Div, instead of Nav menu. so that way the border could change height according to the content area height
body,html{
height:100%;
}
#wrapperdiv{
height:100%
}
#navigation{
min-height:100%
}

I am trying to get the sidebar to take up the space it has available. If I set both html and body to 100% the div becomes much larger than needed. I want it to match the container on the right. Is this possible? Thanks!
if you want set background on 100% height left side:
set background in div id="main-div" like this background: url('img/Texture2.jpg');
set background in div class="col-lg-8" like this: style="background: #f7f7f7;";
your example: travelletters.ru/test.html
The problem is that your content is bigger than your sidebar.
What you could do is have a 'main-content' div (which contains your sidebar), and you just set your sidebar to height=100%, so it fills the vertical space needed by taking into account the content on the right
Your sidebar is overiding your content, so there needs to be some buffer or add height css
I have a div sidebar which scrolls with the page on my website. Everytime the window resizes, the sidebar would overlap the page content.
Here is a demo page to show the problem:
http://wrasa.org/memberpage_demo.html
Here is the CSS code for the menubar I'm using for my page
.menubar {width: 200px;position: fixed;left: 20px;down: 200px;}
Any suggestions for fixing the problem or using a different code would be welcomed,
Thanks in advance!
As, you are using fixed positioning; div will remain fixed relative to the browser and will overlap if other content shift in the area. This happens because browser don't allocate any space to such divs.
In your problem you be solved by specifying the min-margin to left of main content, which can actually be achieved by min-width css property. just place one more to left of main content with some min width.
You can know more on this from this link
Using a percentage margin in CSS but want a minimum margin in pixels?
I have a webpage with links down the left hand side of the page in a div that is floating left. I then have content to the right of that that is in a div floating right. The problem I'm having is that when the page is resized the content moves below the links.
I have tired putting the whole page in a wrapper div but when I did the links stopped working and I could not position the content where I needed too.
Here is the css for the wrapper div
#wrapper {
margin:0 auto 0 auto;
min-width:960px;
}
Floated elements will behave in that manner, since they're out of the page flow.
What you probably are looking for is a fluid two column layout.
The main problem is that you are giving the divs fixed widths so the first step is to change the widths of the divs to % or em.
Do this full screen to begin with, I would even go as far as creating a blank page with no content what so ever, just give the divs a different background colo(u)r. Do this as you then know the width of the content isn't interfering.
I would also float both divs to the left and maybe position them relatively to begin with.
I figured out the best way to go over the window resize issue is do like wordpress and even this site do: put balnk resizable margins around the page and make all the content fixed width.
"Liquid" style (with percents etc.) is cool but doesn't really look right most times, so the best thing is to build your page a little narrower than the full window and let different brawsers just change the margin size.
To do so I actually style the very html tag givin it a fixed width like 1000px or whatever and then margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; to keep it always centered.
EDIT:
Put this in your css
html {
width:66em;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
I have a fixed size layout where I center the content container.
I want the menu (home, about, contact, login), to span 100% of the screen.
Take a look at this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Hxhc5/1/
The result I want is this:
I have tried a to make a 100% width container with the menus, where I would have a container inside to center the menu, but it did not work well, because then the layout is relative, changed with the window size.
Wrap an extra div arround the menu, give it the grey background, remove the extra padding, make the menu bg white:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/Hxhc5/3/
This is problematic when we want to keep the space between the menu and the right col 'open' though.
The easiest way and probably the best is to have a mock image of which the middle is left 'open' and use it as a background. Since a png image of this type is insanely small it is better than more markup, css or a js solution, plus it has no quirks if used correctly:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/Hxhc5/10/
You also showed your actual developement site; if you want to implement this for the menu you will have to make the menu fixed height (everthing else and its width can still be fluid) due to the type of opacity you use in the layer. The same background trick can be made to work with it.
Why not use a background image that spans the entire page instead?
Just add the content of the menu into another div, with width: 500px, margin: auto; and set the menu width to 100%. Here is updated jsFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Hxhc5/2/
I have a page where the main content has a variable height. I want to have a fixed height (about 50px) footer to the very bottom of the page.
I need it to scroll along with the page (so not a fixed position).
A couple scenarios:
If the body content is 300px tall, the window has no scrollbar, the footer would be all the way to the bottom and visible.
If the body content is 900px tall and the window has a scrollbar, the footer would be all the way at the bottom with no space between the footer and the bottom of the window, and not visible unless you scroll to the very bottom.
Is there a way to accomplish this in pure CSS? Trying to stay clear of using JS to handle this.
