When I put a scrolling div (i.e. <div style="width:200;height:200;overflow-y:scroll;">) inside of another div that has an overflow attribute it treats the second div like I don't have dimensions set (height 200 and width 200). The scroll bar on the right shows up but it wont work because every time I add content the div just drops instead of making it scroll.
First divs css:
#slide1_container
{
width:976px;
height:520px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
margin:0 auto;
}
Nested div:
overflow-y:scroll;
You're missing the px on the dimensions in your div's inline styles.
<div style="width:200;height:200;overflow-y:scroll;">
Should be
<div style="width:200px;height:200px;overflow-y:scroll;">

I have a problem about bottom alignment of a div and I don't find any solutions.
All div are contained in a main div, one is left floated and all other must be place on the right of it;
Just one of them it must be bottom aligned, but trying with position absolute and bottom tag it's placed over the floated one.
CSS:
#container {width:730px;position: relative;min-height:120px;}
#image_box {width:220px; float:left; padding-right:10px;background:#222;color:#FFF;}
#box_dx1 {width:500px;background:#666;}
#box_dx2 {width:500px;padding-top:10px;background:#999;}
#box_dx3 {width:500px;padding-top:10px;background:#CCC;}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="image_box">Box Sx Image <br>Row<br>Row<br>Row<br>Row<br>Row<br>Row</div>
<div id="box_dx1">Box Dx Title</div>
<div id="box_dx2">Box Dx Description</div>
<div id="box_dx3">Box Dx Param</div>
</div>
Moreover div's heights are variable, image_box is optional(cannot exist) and text of box_dx2 could wrap under the image_box.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
If the height of box_dx1, box_dx3 and image-box is always going to be same, you could just set a min-height for box_dx2. That way, if you add more content to box_dx2 it will eventually become taller than the image and text will wrap around it. In your example it would be something like:
#box_dx2 {
width: 500px;
padding-top:10px;
background:#999;
min-height: 70px;
}
jsFiddle
However, if the height of those boxes isn't fixed, maybe the easist thing is to calculate the min-height using some jQuery.
Right now I have a main div with an id of "wrapper", and inside this div I am trying to make two other divs that take up about the entire width of "wrapper". The first div, "sidebar", is narrow and contains some information I want displayed on the far right of "wrapper". The second internal div I have will be dynamically updated using php and javascript from data inserted by users, id called "maincontent".
I can get them positioned inside "wrapper" fine at first. The problem comes when new content is added in the "maincontent" div. When new content is added the "sidebar" div will move down proportionally to the height of the newly added content.
So, my question is this:
How do I get the two internal divs to maintain their positions on the top of the page while still being able to extend dynamically downward without anything moving around?
you need to float:left your left-content:
see the css below:
.wrapper
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
top:10px;
width:100%;
height:500px;
background-color:yellow;
}
.left-content
{
position:relative;
width:20%;
background-color:red;
height:100%;
float:left;
}
.main-content
{
position:relative;
width:80%;
left:20%;
background-color:green;
height:100%;
}
where your divs are as below:
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-content">
</div>
<div class="main-content">
</div>
</div>
</body>
what's important is, you accurately divide the width of the parent to the child containers
i.e. total width of child containers <= parent width
see, you need to learn about position attribute of css-style
when you do position:relative for any container, css properties like top, left,right,bottom starts working for them.
Check out my fiddle, the Javascript is completely unnecessary. Let me know if it helps you, or if you have any questions left. The most important part is having float: left or float: right in both the maincontent and sidebar.

I have two divs, one inside another. The width of the outer div is given in percentage and the inside div is given an position:absolute. I want to align the inner div in the center of outer div irrespective of the outer div's width percentage.
It works fine when position:absolute is removed from the inner div, but I need that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the following code:
<div class='container' style='width:70%; position:relative'>
<div style='position:absolute; text-align:center' align='center'>
//contents
</div>
</div>
You can do the following:
Add text-align:center to the .container div:
.container{
text-align:center;
}
If you're trying to center another div or an image etc within .container then set those items to have the following margin:0 auto;, e.g.
.container > div{
margin: 0 auto;
/* note that div needs to be a block element and needs a given width */
}
That should help with your problem.
I currently have a div with width:auto to fill the entire screen width but I want to put a side bar on the right hand side.
When I float the width:auto div left and fixed width div to the right it goes under instead.
I'm basically looking for something similar to what reddit have with there search bar on the right width the content auto adjusting to the page width.
Thanks
You can make it like this:
Say you have those 2 divs inside a parent container, which expands to fit the page:
<div id="container">
<div id="autowidth">text expands her...</div>
<div id="fixed">This is a fixed column</div>
</div>
In your CSS:
#container {
width:100%;
border:1px solid black;
padding-right:200px;
}
#autowidth{
width:100%;
background-color:red;
float:left;
}
#fixed{
width:200px;
background-color:green;
float:right;
margin-right:-200px;
}
Basically, the parent container holds everything together. It has a padding of 200px (the width of the right col), so that its content doesnt goes beyond that point. In turn, the right col has a margin of -200px, so that it forces the boundaries imposed by the parent padding and places itself always at the foremost right. The other div, actually, now has only the spaces provided by the parent container, constrained by its padding, so its 100% would be, in fact, (100% - (parent's padding)). You can see a working result of this here: jsfiddle.
I'm pretty sure there might be more elegant solutions out there, so bear with me.
if you want to give a background, like it were 2 cols, you can go for the classical 'faux columns' background (see example at a list apart )
You don't strictly need a container div. I did css inline for brevity.
<div style="float:right; width:14em; background-color:#CCC;">
<p>This div is fixed-width.</p>
</div>
<div style="background-color:#EEE; margin-right:14.5em;">
<p>This div is auto-width.</p>
</div>
The answer doesn't work for me, I think it's outdated. Now you have to specify box-sizing: border-box for padding to count to width, but thanks for inspiration. This is my solution.
#autowidth {
float:left;
width:100%;
padding-right:200px;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
#fixed {
float:right;
width:200px;
margin-left:-200px;
}
I was wondering if this were possible, and if it is the best way to go about this:
example image (since I'm not allowed to post pics yet ^^)
So, not only does each column have to be of equal height, but each column also has its own individual footer.
I saw this SO post — how could I rework this technique to apply to the bottom of the divs and not the bottom of the window?
Edit: each column will have content that will constantly change and be of variable height. I'm thinking I could just figure out the equal height columns first, then just absolute position a footer div within those columns. Does its parent div then have to be position: relative?
Looks like a nested div in each that has the same properties. So each outer div is the same size, and so do the inside div.
.outer
{
height:500px;
float:left;
margin-right:20px;
}
.inner
{
height:30px;
width:100%;
margin-top:-470px;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
Didn't test this; off the top of my head!
