I am brand new to CSS so please forgive me if this is a foolish problem.
I have created a footer with 3 embedded div's of 33.33% of the width inside of it. For some reason the text that I am putting into each div is half in and half out of the bottom of the div. This is driving me insane. Could someone please explain why this is happening?
Here is my XHTML:
<! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//w3c//DTD XHTML 1.0 strict//EN" "http://www.3org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html lang="EN" dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3org/1999/xhtml">

<title>www.BLeeOBS.com</title>
<link rel = "stylesheet"
type = "text/css"
href = "twoCol.css" />
</head>
<body background="images/brick.jpg">
<div id="body">
<div id="head">
<h1>B. Lee Oil Burner Service</h1>
</div>
<div id="head_right">

</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here is my CSS:
#body {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-image: url("images/bggradient.jpg");
text-align: center;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 768px;
height: 1024px;
}
#head {
background-image: url("images/horizontalpipe.png");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
float: left;
height: 90px;
width: 678px;
}
#head_right {
background-image: url("images/elbow.png");
float: left;
width: 90px;
height:90px;
}
#left {
float: left;
height: 904px;
width: 678px;
}
#right {
background-image: url("images/verticalpipe.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
float: left;
width: 90px;
height: 904px;
}
#footer {
background-color: gray;
color: white;
height: 30px;
width: 768px;
clear: both;
}
#footer1 {
height: 30px;
float: left;
width: 33.33%;
}
#footer2 {
height: 20px;
float: left;
width: 33.33%;
}
#footer3 {
height: 20px;
width: 33.33%;
float: left;
}
my page can be viewed here to see what's happening:
http://www.bleeobs.com/bricksswf.html
the white text should be entirely in the grey box (my div) but as you can see it is halfway out.
Also, I'd like to bring the text "B. Lee Oil Burner Service" a little bit higher in the header. Setting the padding doesn't seem to help at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure why but the margins are being set by "user agent stylesheet" I see here:
THe immediate fix is setting
h3 { margin: 0 }
or however you want it. According to this Chrome user agent stylesheet overwriting my site style you might want to look into the correct fix. It may be having the desired at the top of your document (perhaps for html 5)or it might be broken css somewhere.
edit: Looks like Adrift might be correct about the default browser styles needing to be reset. You can use a reset.css like he's suggesting.

Here is my HTML code:

I have the wrapper with the divs inside. There is clearly enough space for all the divs yet one of them overflows to next line as in picture:
I have no idea what is wrong but the div with 6 in it has overflowed onto the next line but the wrapper is plenty big enough to accomodate it. Can you please help me?
Thanks
This is a fairly basic HTML/CSS question, and I'm sorry I'm having to ask this here (I searched my best!). I've written the following HTML and CSS code, and while the header section is separated by a neat 20 pixels from the article and aside sections, the footer is being separated by only 10 px. In fact, irrespective of the margin I set for the footer, the separation remains 10px. What am I doing wrong?
It would be amazing if you could test this code out in a browser to see what I mean. I'm also inserting a link to a picture below of the skewed margins between the article / aside section and the footer section.

You need to clear the floats before you get to the footer. Changing your HTML to this will work:
<div id="wrapper">
<header></header>
<article></article>
<aside></aside>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<footer></footer>
</div>
I'm trying to make some decoration outside the main content div,
that would be getting hidden if the window size is small.
I thought for a while and came up with the following markup, (you can copy paste and see it),
and that's best I could think of right now. The problem however is that because I used percentage margins, the decoration gets unstable and shaky while resizing, and sometimes is even stepping on the content div.
Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
div.content {
display: block;
width: 958px;
height: 400px;
background-color: #CCC;
margin: 0px auto;
}
div.wrap {
margin: 0px auto;
min-width: 958px;
max-width: 1058px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
background-image: url(http://www.ephotobay.com/image/ooo-ml.png);
background-position: center;
}
div.left, div.right {
background-image: url(http://www.laserpros.com/images/site/HP_Circle_Logo_Vector1_small.jpg);
width: 50px;
display: block;
height: 50px;
bottom: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
div.left {
right: 479px;
margin-right: 50%;
}
div.right {
left: 479px;
margin-left: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="content">
<-- Content
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So, could you recommend guys for some other way around without using percentage margins, to make it more flexible..? Thanks!
EDIT:
This is what happens in Google Chrome on resize:
As the browser has to re-calculate the margins based on the parent's width changes, this is kind of expected behaviour.
If you want to keep content centralized on the screen without playing with max-width, min-width and margins as percentage, and there won't be any element that should be affected by the .wrap position in the document flow, you could do something like this:
div.wrap {
width: 1058px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
margin-left: -529px; /* 1058/2 * -1 */
background-image: url(http://www.ephotobay.com/image/ooo-ml.png);
background-position: center;
}
This will centralize the content horizontally in every situation.
Hope it helps.
Clear your floats:
<div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<style>
.clear{clear:both;}
</style>
Im trying to do layout that has header, content and footer. Footer must be bottom of the page(done). But my problem is how can I get content 100% strech between header and footer. When my content is empty, then I can't see that, but when I'm writing some word to html in to content div, like "hello", then the content is only so long than the content in content. I guess you can understand what I mean.
Can somebody explain what is wrong in my css code.
Red is header, green is footer, cyan is content and blue is container. Problem is that Content does not cover the container area.

html,body{

}
#container{
width: 1024px;
position:relative;
background-color:#cce;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height:100%;
}
#header{
width: 1024px;
height:100px;
background-color: #CCC;
}

height:100%;
width:1024px;
background-color:yellow;
}
#footer{
width: 1024px;
height: 100px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
background-color: #ced;
}
You're in luck. I spent a good amount of time yesterday figuring out a question similar to this.
http://andrew.x10.mx/rene/
html -
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="header-content">
Hai der. I'm a header.
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<h1>Content here</h1>
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-content">
I'm a footer lol
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
css -
html,body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
#header {
background: #0f0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
#header-content {
padding: 10px;
}
#container {
background: #ff0;
height:auto !important;
height:100%;
position:relative;
width: 1024px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height:100%;
}
#content { padding: 20px 10px; }
#footer {
background: #f00;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#footer-content { padding: 10px; }
Hard to tell without the HTML, but I would try to add a min-height of %100 to #content
One solution would be this:
#content{
background-color:yellow;
position:absolute;
top:100px;
bottom:100px;
width:100%;
}
You could use absolute positioning on all three parts of the page (header, content, footer):
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/bBEJ6/
Perhaps a margin-bottom: 0 px could work?
Your question is worded very poorly, but from what I can see you want your content to fill up 100% of your page, yet you have specified a specific width on your #content section by using the width:1024px property.
Try width:100% and see if this solves your problem.
i have been trying to implement a bottombar for my site, however the vision i have seems to me to be rather difficult. Maybe you can enlighten me?
I want to have a bottombar that sits at the bottom of the browser window if the content does not spill over the edge, but if the content does spill over i want the bottombar at the bottom of the content.
I would prefer if it was CSS solution but it might be better/easier in something else, i dont know. Also no PHP.
I hope you understand me.
And thanks in advance for any answers.
Have you looked at http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/
Assuming the height of the bottom bar is fixed it's fairly simple. eg.:
<!DOCTYPE html "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>
<style type="text/css">
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#content { min-height: 100%; }
* html #content { height: 100%; } /* IE6 hack */
#trailer { height: 2em; margin-top: -2em; background: yellow; }
#pad { height: 2em; }
</style>
</head><body>
<div id="content">
Content content content content content content content content content content content.
<div id="pad"></div>
</div>
<div id="trailer">
Bit at the bottom.
</div>
</body></html>
Something like this will do the trick, (note that the extra wrapping div with some padding-bottom is required in order to make sure the footer does not overlap the contents),
<html>
<head>
<title>Sticky Footer Test</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
* {
margin: 0px;
}
#container {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height/**/: 100%; /* for IE6 */
background: #ddd;
}
#footer {
position: relative;
background: #555;
margin-top: -100px;
height: 100px;
}
#content {
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<p>Hello! I'm some content!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Hello! I'm a footer!</p>
