I need to define a div which must stay with the top at the normal position, which differs from the top of the surrounding element:
position:relative
top:0
and which grows in the height up to the size of the surrounding element:
position:absolute
bottom:0
I have no idea how to combine the both. Whenever I use a relative box I loose the absolute bottom and whenever I use an absolute box I loose the relative top.
Can anybody help me how to do this in CSS?
Here is an example:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
#media screen {
body {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#head {
background-color: gray;
}
#rel {
background-color: green;
position: relative;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
float: left;
}
#abs {
background-color: red;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
float: left;
}
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="head">
<h1>Head</h1>
</div>
<div id="abs">
<h2>absolute</h2>
</div>
<div id="rel">
<h2>relative</h2>
</div>
</body>
</html>
"relative" does not grow at all and "absolute" grows too much.
div {
top:0;
height:100%; /* height calculated based off the height of parent element */
margin:0;
}
height property CSS
Use display:table on the outer div and display table-row on the inner ones:
See this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JKQ2y/15/
Html:
<div class="outer">
<div class="rel">
<div class="m b">text</div>
</div>
<div class="inner">
<div class="m r"></div>
</div>
</div>
Css:
.outer{
border:1px solid black;
height:100px; width: 100px
display:table;
}
.rel {
height:30px;
display:table-row;
}
.inner {
border: 1px solid red;
position:relative;
display:table-cell;
}
.m {height:100%;}
.m.b {border:1px solid blue;}
.m.r {border:1px solid red;}
HTML:
<div class="body">
<div class="head">
<div class="head-content">text</div>
</div>
<div class="growing-area">
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.body{
height:100px; width: 100px;
display:table;
}
.head {
height:0px;
display:table-row;
}
.growing-area {
position:relative;
display:table-cell;
}
defining a small height of the head is important but the real size is then controlled by the content or you can define the head-content height:
.head-content {
height:30px;
}

I have following Scenario
http://jsfiddle.net/EYGhf/63/
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="first_div">first div</div>
<div id="second_div">second div</div>
<div id="third_div">third div</div>
</div>
I want third div to be next to first div, first and second would be in same column, if right space is not available, i.e. on mobile, third div would float to bottom.
Current CSS that is applied goes as
.wrapper{
widht:250px;
}
#first_div {
background: yellow;
height: 200px; /* Just Example, Actual is Dynamic*/
width:100px;
float:left;
}
#second_div {
background: cyan;
height: 300px;/* Just Example, Actual is Dynamic*/
width:100px;
clear:left;
}
#third_div{
width:100px;
float:left;
background:blue;
}
You could set position:absolute on 3rd item, and use media queries set it back to static for mobile.
JSFiddle Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ytr1j3r7/ (resize the output frame and see)
body {
margin: 0;
}
.wrapper {
position: relative;
max-width: 400px;
}
.wrapper > div {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
}
#first_div {
background: yellow;
}
#second_div {
background: cyan;
}
#third_div {
background: teal;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
#media (max-width: 399px) {
#third_div {
position: static;
}
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="first_div">first div</div>
<div id="second_div">second div</div>
<div id="third_div">third div</div>
</div>
I want to fill the sides of a centered div with another div or span on each side.
I'm using margining to center the div as shown in this fiddle.
HTML
<div id='A>
<div id='Ad'>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#A{
z-index: 3000;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
}
/*
div or span to the left
*/
/*
centered div
*/
#Ad{
z-index: 3000;
width: 400px;
height: 40px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border-left: solid 1px #ff0000;
border-right: solid 1px #ff0000;
}
/*
div or span to the right
*/
How can I have a div that always takes up the remaining space on the left and another div that takes up the remaining space on the right.
Clarification:
Center column needs to be constant width. Left and Right Columns vary with the window size.
This would achieve what you want - it allows you to have a fixed width central div with left and right columns that fill up the remaining space:
HTML:
<div id="A">
<div id="Ad">Centre</div>
<div id="left">Left</div>
<div id="right">Right</div>
</div>
CSS:
#A {
z-index: 3000;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}
/*
centered div
*/
#Ad {
z-index: 3000;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border-left: solid 1px #ff0000;
border-right: solid 1px #ff0000;
}
#left, #right {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
right:50%;
margin-right:200px;
background:#F00;
height: 400px;
}
#right {
left:50%;
right:0;
margin-left:200px;
margin-right:0;
}
The key is that the margin on the left/right is half of the central column's total width, so adjust it to take into account any borders or padding.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/2AztF/
I would just use 3 <div>s floated within the main container
HTML:
<div id='A'>
<div id='AdLeft'></div>
<div id='Ad'></div>
<div id='AdRight'></div>
</div>
CSS:
#A { overflow:auto }
#AdLeft { float:left; width:25%; }
#Ad { float:left; width:50%; }
#AdRight { float:left; width:25%; }
Here is a modified jsfiddle.
Make 3 divs :
<div id="A"></div>
<div id="B"></div>
<div id="C"></div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
CSS:
#A,#B,#C{
float:left;
width:10%;
}
#B{
width:80%;
}
Here, B is you main div.
It is good practice to clear when you use float property.
To fill space on the right and left side of your div code use and make sure you have no margin or padding on those sides.
float:right;
float:left;
HTML:
<div class='container'>
<div class='left'></div>
<div class='center'></div>
<div class='right'></div>
</div>
CSS:
.container { overflow: hidden; margin:0; padding:0; }
.right { float: right; width: 150px; }
.center{ float: right; width:50px; margin-right: 50px; }
.left{ float: left; width: 150px; }
The margin-right of .center will fill the space accordingly.
I am trying to create a two div's side by side that fill my screen 100%. The left div contains some menu and the right the content. Here's the code I have at the moment: http://jsfiddle.net/HpWZW/ . The current problem is the height is only as large as my smallest div's content. So in this case my iframe in the right column is larger than my menu items in the left column; however, the height is limited to the left divs contents not the right. Any ideas? Thanks!
Code
<div>
<div class="table">
<div class="innerLeft">
<span>Left Column</Span>
</div>
<div class="innerRight">
<span>Content with Iframe</span>
</div>
</table>
</div>
...
html, body {height: 100%}
.table {
display: table;
height: 100%;
}
.innerLeft {
display: table-cell;
min-width: 160px;
background-color: lightblue;
color: black;
}
.innerRight {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
I have ran in the same problem so many times, until I found this: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hacks
It is a valid CSS solution for making your colums share the height. Then both will be the height of the largest column.
If you want to make your colums fill the whole screen you could use something like
.innerLeft {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 50%;
}
.innerRight {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
Note that this is css3 and wont work for old browsers.

<style>
html, body{height:100%;padding:0;margin:0;}
div.table, div.table *{box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;}
div.table{width:100%;height:100%;}
div.table div{border:1px solid black;width:50%;height:100%;float:left;}
</style>
html:
<div class="table">
<div class="innerLeft">

<div class="innerRight">

</div>
</table>
Page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html, body {
height:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
div.table, div.table * {
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
div.table {

<div class="innerLeft"> <span>Left Column</span>
</div>
<div class="innerRight"> <span>Content with Iframe</span>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The above code would create two columns whenever you would like to fill the whole screen or a section.
The following code could be used to only fill the whole screen (containers behaves odd when using position absolute, there is workarounds though):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html, body {
height:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#left {
width:50%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
background:red;
}
#right {
width:50%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
background:blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
</body>
</html>
Shortest answear is to use proper table, min-height can also help you, but not all browsers respect it.
Does this work for what your wanting?:
http://jsfiddle.net/Sgfnm/
<div>
<div class="table">
<div class="innerLeft">
<span>Left Column</Span>
</div>
<div class="innerRight">
<span>Content with Iframe</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.table {
display: block;
}
.innerLeft {
display: block;
width: 160px;
background-color: lightblue;
color: black;
float:left;
}
.innerRight {
display: block;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
I am trying to make 3 div's in row design. Where the header and footer have fixed height.
The center div expands to fill the empty space. I have tried but the closest I got is the code below. Still having problems with the center div which expands over the footer div.
html:
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
</div>
css:
#rowOne {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background: green;
}
#rowTwo {
width: 100%;
background: limegreen;
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#rowThree {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
clear: both;
background: green;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
height:50px;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
}
Three Row pure CSS
I know this post is getting on a bit, but despite claims to the contrary, you can do this very simply with CSS. No need for JavaScript, jQuery, CSS 3 hacks etc.
Here's a couple of jsf's that show fixed header and footer and dynamic body div.
This first one shows fixed pixel height header and footer and dynamic body EXACTLY as you wanted in your image
http://jsfiddle.net/LBQ7K/
<body>
<div class="header"><p>Header</p></div>
<div class="cssBody"><p>Hello World</p></div>
<div class="footer"><p>Footer</p></div>
</body>
html, body, {
height: 100%;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #00f;
}
.cssBody {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
bottom: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #0f0;
}
The second shows you can use the same technique to have dynamic headers & footers.
http://jsfiddle.net/reqXJ/
<body>
<div class="header"><p>Header</p></div>
<div class="cssBody"><p>Hello World</p></div>
<div class="footer"><p>Footer</p></div>
</body>
html, body, {
height: 100%;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
height: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #00f;
}
.cssBody {
position: absolute;
top: 15%;
bottom: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #0f0;
}
This is a very common problem, one of the solutions that worked for me is from the following website:
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
with the code:
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/layout.css
and another popular choice:
http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/
If this does not meet your needs, let us know, we can help more.
Seems like you are try to do a sticky footer, well... you will need a few hacks:
HTML:
<div id='container'>
<div class="header">
<h1>Sticky Footer!</h1>
</div>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
<div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div id='footer'></div>
CSS
.container {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;height: 100%;
/* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
margin: 0 auto -142px;
}
.footer, .push{
height: 142px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}
Note: Replace the footer and push height for your fixed height and don't forget to insert the push div after the rows in the container.
You can fake this by absolutely positioning the rows, and adding padding to top and bottom for the middle row. You cannot do this like you were doing with tables
#container { position:relative; height:800px } // needs height
#rowOne, #rowTwo, #rowThree { position:absolute }
#rowOne { top:0; left:0 }
#rowThree { bottom:0; left:0 }
#rowTwo { left:0; top:0; padding:50px 0; } // top and bottom padding 50px
could this line of code help?
DEMO
Try this:
#container{
...
position:relative;
}
#content{
min-height: xxx;
}
This should exactly do what you want:
html code:
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>one</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>two</div>
<div id='rowThree'>three</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div id="footer">
footer
</div>
CSS code:
.clearfix {
clear: both;
}
#header, #footer {
background-color: red;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#rowOne {
width: 25%;
background: green;
float: left;
}
#rowTwo {
width: 55%;
height: 100px;
background: limegreen;
float: left;
}
#rowThree {
width: 20%;
background: green;
float: left;
}
You can also test it on jsFiddle
Have you tried looking at a CSS framework? They come with default classes you can use to set up something like that within a few short minutes. They also help producing cleaner html and interfaces that you can easily redesign at a later time.

In response to your comment on jedrus07's answer:
all this sollutions expand the center div behind the footer div. I want a solution with each div having only his own space.
The only way to do that is with CSS 3 calc(). If you don't need to support very many browsers, that's an option, and here's a demo of it in action:
http://jsfiddle.net/5QGgZ/3/
(Use Chrome or Safari.)
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
html, body, #container {
height: 100%;
}
#rowOne {
height: 50px;
background: #f00;
}
#rowTwo {
height: -webkit-calc(100% - 100px);
background: #0f0;
}
#rowThree {
height: 50px;
background: #00f;
}
If you want wider browser support, you're going to have to go with a sticky footer solution like the ones jedrus07 mentioned, or Tom Sarduy's answer.
One way would be using Jquery to set the minimum height of the middle div to be the height of the screen, minus the height of the other two divs (100px)
something like this should work:
$(document).ready(function() {
var screenHeight = $(document).height() - 100px;
$('#rowTwo').css('min-height' , screenHeight);
});
I am trying to get a layout that has no scrollbars and has a fixed header div(height 150px) and then below that a div that fills the rest of the page (will be a google map).
The problem
The map extend down below the bottom of the view-port and I get a scrollbar.
I am looking for a CSS only solution.
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="map"></div>
</div>
CSS
#container
{
position:relative;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
width:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#map
{
position:absolute;
top:150px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-color:#bb3311;
}
#header
{

position:absolute;
width:100%;
background-color:#00ffbb;
}
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

#container{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: yellow;
}
#map {
position: absolute;
top: 150px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background: red;
overflow: hidden;
}
#header {
height: 150px;

}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="map"></div>
</div>

Add overflow hidden where needed.
