I want to create a <div> element with background color, which starts in the middle of the screen and goes to the right, to the end of the page (out of screen) , but I don´t want to trigger any scroll bar. In that <div> I want to have some information, at the beginning of that <div>(within the screen). Here´s the HTML code example:
<div id="footer">
<h2>Information</h2>
<p>Some text</p>
<p class="alignright">Another information in this paragraph.</p>
</div>
This is how I want it to look like:

CSS will let you do this easily. Something like the following:
#footer {
background-color: #b0c4de;
width: 50%;
height: 20px;
float: right;
}
This is a pretty good resource: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
Can´t you just use css background-image of the body to achieve that effect?
You can do this by wrapping the footer div in another div. This will not only allow you to fully position the footer div but it will also allow you to put the footer div outside without generating a scrollbar or showing the overflow.
For example:
<div id="footer-wrapper">
<div id="footer">
<h2>Information</h2>
<p>Some text</p>
<p class="alignright">Another information in this paragraph.</p>
</div>
</div>
#footer-wrapper { width:300px; height:100px; position:relative; overflow:hidden; }
#footer { position:absolute: top:50px; left:50%; width:300px; }
etc.
The position:relative means that the footer div, with position:absolute, will use the wrapper as the position reference. Overflow:hidden will prevent scroll bars and will hide the overflow.
You can do something like that :
#footer {
float: right;
width: 50%;
background-color: blue;
overflow: hidden;
}
The overflow hidden isn't necessary but in case a scrollbar appears, with this it won't.

I have a simple HTML page and it contains two divs aligned vertically. The page is scrollable because of second div. I want the first div's position to be fixed, or nonscrollable, so that only the second div is scrollable. I added position:fixed to first div's css but this time, the second div was placed on first div, so the first div disappears under the second div.
CSS
body {
width:1000px;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;/*body ortalama*/
}
#div1 {
height:300px;
background-color:#00CC66;
}
#div2 {
display:block;
word-wrap:break-word;
padding:30px;
font-size:72px;
background-color:#FF3;
}
HTML
<div>
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2">
<p>
<!--Content Here-->
</p>
</div>
</div>
Fixed is always relative to the parent window, never an element. Once the position is set to fixed its taken out of the document flow.
Fixed positioning is a subcategory of absolute positioning. The only difference is that for a fixed positioned box, the containing block is established by the viewport.
so in the second div2 add these
position:relative;
top:300px; /*Bump it down by the height of div1;*/
Hope it helps;
You should add a height and set overflow auto instead of scroll because with scroll you will have the scrollbar always even if the content is less than the specified height. For example:
#div2 {
background-color: #FFFF33;
display: block;
font-size: 72px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
padding: 30px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
Add this css to #div2 (you'll need to specify a height for #div2 otherwise the the scroll bar won't know where to start):
overflow-y:auto;
height:50px;
See the example here: http://jsfiddle.net/38xkn/1/ (scroll to the right first as you've set the body width to 100px, then you'll see the scroll bar for #div2).
Okay, here is another option. It's layout is somewhat different but it should get the job done. It uses absolute positioning on div1 to get it to the top, and a percentage width to stop it covering the scroll bar for div2. It's not perfect so you may need to tweek it slightly.
HTML
<body>
<div>
<div id="div1">a</div>
<div id="div2">
<p> SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;/*body ortalama*/
overflow:hidden;
}
#div1{
height:300px;
background-color:#00CC66;
position:absolute;
top:0;
width:97.5%;
}
#div2{
display:block;
word-wrap:break-word;
padding:30px;
font-size:72px;
background-color:#FF3;
overflow-y:auto;
max-height:50px;
padding-top:300px;
}

I'm trying to achieve, that the div's will behave like an example on picture, using css:
Is there any clean way to do this? I achieve this using javascript to calculate "left" div height and "main" div width and height. But i dont like this solution...is there any way to do this using css only?
Edit:
Page must not have scrollbar...so page's height is always max 100%, and no more...
thanks
If the sidebar (or any other div) is 100% height, and on top you have a 30px header, so that causes your container to be 100% + 30px height.
In the future you will have in css3 calc():
http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/06/css3-calc/
This will solve your problem.
But for now you can add overflow: hidden; to the html and body section, but I recommend calculate the height of the sidebar ( container height - header height) using Javascript.
Check fiddle here
If you mean the two-column layout, you do it with pure CSS like this:
.container {
background-color: #aaaaaa;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 100px;
clear: left;
}
.right {
margin-left: 100px;
background-color: #888888;
}
and HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="right">right</div>
</div>
Live demo: jsFiddle
The div on top can be achieved without any special CSS. To place something below (a footer for example), you'll need to use clear: both.
Without any code it is hard to determine what you want. Here is a extremely simple version of what I believe you want.
HTML:
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="side">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
CSS:
#header {
width:100%;
height:50px;
}
#side {
width:300px;
height:100%;
float:left;
}
#content {
width:660px;
height:100%;
float:left;
}

I have a page that I am trying to create with a div on the left containing an iframe and a div in the middle also containing an iframe.
The sidebar is to hold links and the content section is to load said links.
My goal is to get the sidebar expanded all the way down to the bottom of the page as well as the content section.
Here is my css:
html, body {
height:100%;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
#wrapper {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
#sidebar {
position: relative;
float:left;
width: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
min-height: 100%;
}
#pdfholder {
float: right;
width: 600px;
}
And here is my html:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="sidebar">
<iframe id="sidebarframe" name="index" src="./sidebar.html">
</iframe>
</div>
<div id="pdfholder">
<iframe id="pdfholderframe" name="viewer" src="./blank.html">
</iframe>
</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
</body>
I know I am doing something wrong but I have gone through around 10 different websites and I cannot for the life of me find it!
You can give both containing divs a min-height of 100% and there's not much more you need to do:
http://jsfiddle.net/GolezTrol/eHMec/
You can give the iframes a height of 100% too, but it didn't become clear to me whether you need that or not.
From what I can understand from your question, this JSFiddle (simpler version here) should do the trick.
CSS
div
{
background: black;
}
div div
{
margin-left: 150px;
background: white;
}
div ul
{
float: left;
color: white;
}
HTML
<div>
<ul>
<li>Nav bar</li>
<li>More nav</li>
</ul>
<div>
Content
</div>
</div>
Obviously this is a very simple example and you should give your elements classes or IDs if needbe; I wanted to keep it simple.
The principle of this is a float: left, a margin-left: 150px and some background-color properties. You give your container div a background colour of whatever you want the sidebar to be coloured as, and then set the content divs background back to white, or whatever you want that to be.
The float: left for the navbar ul means the main content is pushed back to the top.
The margin-left: 150px gives the navbar 150px on the left of the content to expand into. Obviously you should change this to the width of the navbar.
Scenario:
One header DIV with three DIV's inside side by side floated left.
Problem:
"Text" from HEADER_A div is overflowing into HEADER_B DIV and so on.
Screenshot / CSS:
alt text http://thumb0.webshots.net/t/74/174/8/92/12/2239892120105349420zNlkOc_th.jpg
#header{
height:127px;
width: 718px;
}
#header_a {
width:181px;
height: 127px;
color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
}
#header_b{
width: 363px;
float:left;
height: 127px;
/*background-image:url(../images/logo.jpg);*/
background-position:bottom;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:#006600;
}
#header_c{
width: 174px;
float:left;
height: 127px;
}
<div id="header">
<div id="header_a">ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd</div>
<div id="header_b"></div>
<div id="header_c"><img src="images/nuevo.png" /></div>
</div>
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd is > 181px.
Its obviously going to overflow because its taken as a single word and words are not broken up. Try using some proper text or give some space like "ddddddddddd ddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddd dddddddddddddd"
EDIT:
on the other hand the same will happen to images. So anything within the div that is larger than its parent will overflow. you can try using 'overflow:hidden'
This is probably a very dummy question, don't throw your shoes at me :)
Consider having HTML like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
</div>
<div class="body">
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div>
I want 'header' and 'footer' to be anchored to the parent's top and bottom respectively, and 'body' to grow easily to fit all available space.
What would the CSS look like to achieve this?
EDIT: Maybe I'm saying this wrong (i'm not exactly a web developer :) ), but what I need is to have some part of a div always attached to its bottom. So when div grows this part (which might have a fixed size) would go lower with the div's lower end. But all this doesn't mean attaching a div to the bottom of browser's window.
If I understand your question correctly, you require some really basic css.
body { background: black; }
.container { width: 960px; }
.header { height: 100px; background: #ddd; }
.content { padding: 10px; }
.footer { height: 100px; background: #ddd; }
Your div's are not floated, so will stack on top of each other like pancakes.
If you want the footer to be "sticky", see here for a solution...
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
Here you go:
Example page - footer sticks to bottom
this will have the content right
between the footer and the header.
no overlapping.
HTML
<header>HEADER</header>
<article>
<p>some content here (might be very long)</p>
</article>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
CSS
html{ height:100%; }
body{ min-height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; position:relative; }
body:after{
content:'';
display:block;
height:100px; // compensate Footer's height
}
header{ height:50px; }
footer{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100px; // height of your Footer (unfortunately it must be defined)
}
Try this: Set position: relative on the parent div. Set position: absolute on the inner div(s) and set both the top and the bottom properties; don't set height. The inner div(s) should stretch vertically with the parent, as required. (Doesn't work in IE6 and below unfortunately).
