Here's a sample code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Textarea</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {width:100%; height:100%; margin:0; border:0; padding:0; background:#D3D3D3;}
textarea {overflow:auto; box-sizing:border-box; -moz-box-sizing:border-box; padding:6px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#">
<textarea rows="1" cols="1">This is some text.</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I used the box-sizing property to set the textarea width to 100% plus some padding and it works in all major browsers. However, in Firefox if you add more content to the textarea, you'll see unwanted padding around the scrollbar.
Firefox applies the padding not only to the content but to the scrollbar as well.
Change your textarea style definition so that it reads like this:
textarea
{
overflow:auto;
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
line-height:26px;
padding: 0;
padding-left: 6px;
}
This corrects the padding issue, but once there are two or more lines of text it will look somewhat awkward.

I have a problem in IE8 when using text-overflow and overflow hidden. Although IE8 correctly trims the text and hides its overflow from the view, the span with the truncated text still blows out the width on the parent element.
Using a fixed width on either the span or its parent element works fine but unfortunately I can not use a fixed width. I have tried using a width:100% and max-width on the truncating span element as well as putting a max-width on the parent element with no luck in IE8.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

I have a setup requiring a div filling 100% of the screen with a margin of 10px. Inside that, there is a navigation pane at the top followed by a content div below with a padding and an inner content dive with a padding. However, using the 100% height of parent and then adding a margin/padding stretches the div to 100% + margin + padding. Is there a fix for this? I noticed the absolute positioning trick, but that messes up the flow of the other divs if I absolutely position my content div. It also makes the resizing and flow non-liquid. Any way to keep those things and still achieve my goal, preferrably with CSS and not javascript?
Code Below:
ASPX
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<link rel="Stylesheet" href="test.css" />

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="navigation">
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="inner">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
html, body
{
height:100%;
width:100%;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-color:Black;
}
#wrapper
{
height:100%;
margin:10px;
background-color:Blue;
}
#navigation
{
height:100px;
background-color:Green;
}
#content
{
height:100%;
padding:10px;
background-color:Orange;
}
#inner
{
height:100%;
width:100%;
padding:5px;
background-color:Lime;
}
You can try adding box-sizing:border-box onto any elements which you want to have 100% height and padding at the same time.
Works in IE8+ and the good browsers, so browser support is actually quite good
http://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/
You can try two things...
1) changing the height of the wrapper, navigation, content and inner to something like 98%.
2) try adding a transparent 1px solid border to the wrapper and other elements. This often shifts the margin to margin relationship of elements.
Hope this helps
Im working with a XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype html file, and I want to have a main div with 800px width and make it appears centered (not the div content, but the div itself).
I've used this on the past:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
<!--
html, body { margin:0; padding:0; }
#main-container { background:black; width:800px; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<div id="main-container">
Content
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
But I am not sure if this is cross-browser compatible, or if its valid xhtml.
The center tag is deprecated since 1998. You need to apply CSS margin 0 auto; on the div. This will set top and bottom margin to 0 and left and right margin to auto which will let the div "auto-center" itself when its width is known/fixed.
See also:
Center a div in CSS, (text-align is not the answer)
remove the center tags, and set this css declaration
#main-container { margin: auto; width:800px }
You can use
#container{
position:relative;
margin: auto;
}
or, if you have a fixed width for your container, lets say 800px you can do something like
#container{
position:relative;
left: -400px;
margin-left: 50%;
}
Use margin: 0 auto;, as stated above:
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#main-container {
background: black;
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
And by the way, if you wish to validate as proper XHTML, you need to add type="text/css" to your style elements. In addition, there is almost no need to hide your CSS from old browsers, because almost all browsers nowadays supports CSS.
I'm trying to have an element with a greater width then the body, but not cause horizontal scrolling.
http://jsfiddle.net/hYRGT/
This hopefully demonstrates my problem somewhat.
The #header contains the #imghead and is set to 960px width.
What I want is the browser to 'think' the page is 960px wide.
Because #imghead is more wide then #header and positioned relative so it's in the center.
I'm not able to use a background-image because #imghead is going to be replaced by a flash component.
I'm also not able to use overflow:hidden because I DO want the element to show outside the 960px. I just don't want it to cause h-scrolling.
I do not want to disable h-scrolling altogether, I'd really love a CSS solution. But if javascript is the only way of dealing with this, I guess it would do.
Can't you just absolutely position it relative to the body, 50% from the left and then on the inner element do a negative left margin of half the total width of the element itself which would center it?
I think I got what I wanted:

The content overlaps the header by design,
I hope this helps someone.
1 limitation is that the header does not horizontally scroll,
but in my design that is not necessary.
Tested in FF3, IE8, S4 and C5
I would like to have the following layout
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+Header +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+Nav+ +
+ + +
+ + +
+ + Content +
+ + +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
so basically a two column layout with a header. I've checked many CSS layout generators on the net, but they just produced me a result where the left navbar is as big as the content in it. I can scale it with "height:500px" or whatever, but i want it to be fullsize (from top to bottom of browser window) all the time. Changing the value with "height:100%" does not work.
If you want to try it out yourself: http://guidefordesign.com/css_generator.php and then select full page, two column layout, with header to see what i mean. If you want you can tell me which property i have to adjust in the generated css file to make it work
You can try this. It works on the browsers I tested (Firefox, IE7+8, Opera, Safari, Chrome). Just play around with the percentage units for header and columns.

You might want to have a look at and get the idea from:
Super Simple Two Column Layout
See the demo here.
A little general answer: Look into CSS frameworks, like http://www.blueprintcss.org/ - these let you define grids.
Here's a sample page: http://www.blueprintcss.org/tests/parts/sample.html
Concerning the height problem, try out this (should give you 100% of browser window height for your div all the time):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding: 0px;
}
.Container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #123456;
color: black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="Container">
</div>
</body>
</html>
A solution you can try, is to give the content area a background image which is repeated vertically (1px height and width of your page). The left side of that image would have the nav background color, and the rest would be the color of the content background color ...
