I have a layout question for HTML, concerning a div with an iframe in it. Right now I have:
<div style="width:100%;height:20px">something</div>
<div style="width:100%;height:100%;">
<iframe src="whatever" style="width:100%;height:100%" />
</div>
Basically, I'm looking for Auto,* layout (the top is fixed size, the bottom is "take the rest"). If you do this, and the content in the iframe is also relative at 100/100%, the browser scroll bar does not work correctly.. it always allows scrolling for 20pixels (because apparently relative/set size doesn't work how i think it works), and if you re-size smaller than the iframe, it doesn't work as expected. If i set the height of the 2nd div to some value, like 20px, then it works as expected, but since I don't know the size of the iFrame child, I can't do that..
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here?

Not sure how to best ask my question. And I can't yet post screenshots. :( This issue does happen in mere current coding practices. You can currently even see this issue happening on Facebooks home page.

How to replicate live
Grab the right hand side of your browser and pull inwards. Eventually a scroll bar appears. Not necessarily bad. As I have a fixed with here. However… Notice the scrollbar is the length of the background color up in the top of my header which is actually creating a "Curtain" like effect.
Make matters worse:
If on other high level parent elements like .Footer or .Page you play around with overflow and position relative the curtain will then begin overlaying on top of the entire site.
Check out Facebook: They often have this issue as well. Obviously most don't notice it as it's not going over top of the content.
In either case I know there is something not right.
Help appreciated!
Add something like this to your CSS:
body { min-width: 980px; }
You have min-width: 980px; set in many of the elements on your page, but not on html, body, or .container. Once the viewport is smaller than this, these elements will overflow html and give you the scrollbars you're seeing.
But this doesn't make html any bigger. It--and its background--is still at the viewport size. This is why you get the "curtain" effect when you scroll.
Setting width: 100% on html doesn't fix this; this only sets html to 100% width of the browser window. If you're going to use min-width, make sure you you don't just apply it to elements that hold your content, but also those that have your backgrounds.
to fix this, add
html, body {
min-width: 980px
}
in your www.alpacanation.com/styles.css:40, then you are done. :)
EXPLANATION: the problem is this container,
<!— stat container —>
<div class=“container”>
<!— START FOOTER MENU SECTION —>
that container has width:980px which screws up the view because it forces that container to stay at 980px wide while the rest is shrinking, thus creates the ‘curtain’ like effect.
I'd be glad if you could help me with some positioning. Here is the website.
Problem is my footer. I can't make it show always below container (if text container goes below img). If text is short enough to not go below img its ok. I tried many solutions, but non of them seemed to work for me. Solution to this could be making slider div with background, but I can't use it because I want it to fit the screen (so I need to use <img> inside it.) Any help would be much appreciated. Long story short:
<div id="container">
<div class="slider"><img with background</div>
<div id="page absolute div">
content
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Another solution could be stretching "container" height when "page" div keeps getting bigger, but its not possible (from what I know) because its position is absolute.

div id dol is footer
how website looks to me: http://i.stack.imgur.com/yjY2a.png
i want footer (div id dol) to be below that absolute div with content
I see nothing wrong with your page, so I don’t understand what you are trying to do. However, have you considered using floats and clearing with your footer?
using firefox to see the code and css, I can't find a 'footer'....?
what I'm trying to do is something like this:
<body>
<div id="content" style="position:relative;">
...some content here...
THE END
<div class="red_square" style="position:absolute;right:0;bottom:-90px;height:90px;width:90px;background-color:red;"></div>
</div>
</body>
but that obviously just shows the red square at bottom. What I want is the page to stop at "THE END" if it's long enough (that is, whith scroll bars), and show the red div only for pages with little content (without scroll bars). I can do it with javascript but I was wondering if there is a pure CSS (2 or 3) solution for the most recent browsers.
Not sure if i get what your trying, perdon if in wrong.
There is max-height and min-height in the recent browsers, thats prolly help you
I have the following on a page:
<div style="max-width: 600px; overflow-x: scroll;">
<a href="PoolPanoramaBig.jpg" target="_blank">
<img src="PoolPanoramaBig.jpg" style=""/>
</a>
</div>
If the image is wider than 600px then you can scroll the image to the left to see the rightmost part. However, I want to default it so that it is already scrolled fully to the left when initially displayed.
I've tried setting a style in the image to float:left which works but that disables the horizontal scrollbar.
Ideas?
EDIT: Here's a page that might help explain what I'm trying to do: http://guyellisrocks.com/ie-example/
Do you see how you have to move the scroll bar to the right to see the right most edge of the image? I'd like it to default to that when you first hit the page.
I don't have a problem doing this in JavaScript and if that's possible some hints would be appreciated. Otherwise if it's possible to do this with CSS then this is how I would first attempt to do this.
Try adding an anchor to the right of the image. Something like:
<img src="foo.jpg"><a name="right_of_image"></a>
When or after navigating to the page, if you append the #right_of_image anchor to the document URL, the browser will try to focus on the anchor, effectively scrolling to the right edge of the image. This probably won't work if you're using a scrolling container like the one you have, but should work if the image is directly embedded in your page. Does this work for you?
When I specify a height in the style for any element inside of this, IE makes the entire thing 100% width, rather than keeping it "autosized" for width.
Other browsers display it fine, but not IE. How do I fix this?
<div style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;background:green;">
<div>
<div>test</div>
<div style="height: 20px;">this makes it 100% width in IE. why?</div>
</div>
</div>
Thanks!
Here's something that may work for you. It's a little hacky, but if you're trying to find a good width for some text, this is the only way besides javascript that I know of. We're basically forcing the width by not allowing the line to break. You can put in <br/>s if you need line breaks.
<div style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;background:green;width:0px">
<div>
<div>test</div>
<div style="height:50px; white-space:nowrap">This is normally sized in IE6</div>
</div>
</div>
On second thought, don't check out the link. It's old and doesn't work as advertised.

I believe that non-absolutely positioned DIVs automatically expand to fill their container horizontally. Since you haven't specified any container size for this div, it expands to fill the whole page.
I find it odd that Firefox doesn't expand the div... I'm not sure which of them actually has it "right".
At a guess, I would say it's something to do with the hasLayout bug in IE6. My suggestions:
1. Give the containing div (the one with the absolute positioning) a set width.
2. Post an example of what you are trying to achieve. We might be able to suggest a more all-browser friendly way of doing what you want.
