have you considered applying rounded corners with just css and not worrying about the ieretards not having them?

When having so much nested div, it's good you consider the measurement in width and height of the DIV if the container div is lesser that the ones inside it, it won't stretch,because that way, the browser can't detect how far the div is meant to stretch. to resolve this use make proper use of CSS.

avoid translateX going beyond parent width - CSS

For demo purposes imagine the following structure:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
the div with class="wrapper" has a fixed width of let's say 200px;
the inner div with class="box" has a 50% width of its parent.
I want to create a effect with translateX for the inner div to slide and leave when it reaches the border of the parent div.
I have this plunker which is not working. Plunker
How can I prevent it from going beyond its parent width?
Add overflow: hidden to the parent element (.wrapper).

extend div beyond bootstraps container

I have a set up in wordpress using bootstrap what follows:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div id="NEEDS TO BE FULL WIDTH>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I would like the background of the "NEEDS TO BE FULL WIDTH" div be full browser width but not sure how. If I make it more the 100% width it makes a horizontal scroll. Any ideas?
You can have multiple .container elements inside your html. If you change the .container into a container-fluid the content of the container will take up 100%
If you only want the background to be full width, but you want the content to be constrained by the .container (at most about 1140 pixels wide) then surround the .container with another <div> and put the background-image on that element.

3 vertical div middle one takes space left by footer and header but middle div shows scrollbar when overflow

I'm trying to solve a scrollbar problem.
I had the problem that I wanted to have three divs aligned vertically and that the middle one will have the space left of the footer and the header
This post helped me with this part: Middle div with 100% in CSS?
The things is that I need that the content div (the middle div) show a scrollbar when the content overflows the middle div space.
Now I have this: http://jsfiddle.net/rv4XS/31/
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">header
</div>
<div id="content">data<br/>
data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>data<br/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">footer
</div>
</body>​
Thanks for the help.
EDIT 1: Only firefox and chrome, No IE.
EDIT 2: Maybe I'm not explaining well my question: I have a header that has variable height based on the content it has, the footer has a fixed height. Now, knowing that the header has a variable height and that the footer has a fixed height, how can I make a middle div (content div) that takes all the space left by the footer and the header?
If the header increases its height a lot ... what will happen is that the middle div will not be visible but only the header and the footer. of course the idea is that if the middle div has some data inside and it is cropped, it has to show the scrollbar.
You can give #content as below :
Note : cannot give % as you gave.Then It Occupied whole height and width which the content has.
Correct One
#content {
width:100%;
height:100px;
overflow: auto;
}

100% min-height for multiple divs?

If I have the following structure, for example, in a single page layout:
<div id="container">
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
<div id="div3"></div>
<div id="div4"></div>
</div>
Is it possible to set the minimum height of divs 1-4 to 100%, and position each div one under the other, using CSS alone? Ive created a page where the each div is 100% in height but problems begin to arise when the content of the divs are longer than the browser window. There seem to be a lot of min-height 100% related articles but I haven't found one yet where there is more than one div involved.
For height or min-height to work correctly on a element, the parent of a element needs to have a explicit height declared. This goes all the way up in your DOM tree.
There shouldn't be a difference for rendering one or multiple div elements with min-height as far as I know, so yes it is possible to do the positioning with CSS alone.

Help needed with DIV-layout for site

I am trying to build a page with the following in it:
Already have the following:
one div for page to center the whole page with width 809px
inside <div class="page"> is the following:
<div class="header">
<div class="container"> (container for content stuff)
<div class="footer">
What I am struggling with:
<div class="container"> should contain the following:
leftmost <div class="leftShadow"> with 100% height to container, with left shadow image as background for <div class="leftShadow">
second to left <div class="custom_content"> with 100% height to container (will contain content of page
second to right <div class="sidebar_right"> with 100% height to container (will contain extra links)
rightmost <div class="rightShadow"> with 100% height to container, with right shadow image as background for <div class="rightShadow">
So to summarise:
<div class="page">
<div class="header">header image</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="leftShadow"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" /></div>
<div class="custom_content">(this is where the content would be)</div>
<div class="sidebar_right">(some other links)</div>
<div class="rightShadow"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" /></div>
</div>
So what is supposed to happen is, when either custom_content or sidebar_right div's strength in length below the other, the other one would stretch in height to be the same with as the longer div. Obviously, both side div's (leftShadow and rightShadow) should also stretch to 100% of the container's height.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction? Basically, these div's should behave much like a table would when one td's content stretches beyond the height of the other td's.
Don't use divs like tables!
The leftShadow and rightShadow divs are completely unnecessary. Combine your background images into a single image and set it as the background of your container div.
To make sure the background image fills the height of the container, set background-repeat: repeat-y.
Why not use something like "Faux Columns"?
See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/
Perhaps you won't need the leftShadow and rightShadow divs: take a look at faux columns.
This is what you are looking for, I hope. :)
I'd do this differently because you're not going to get your divs to behave like tables.
I'm not entirely sure what you're wanting this to look like, but I'm guess you want some sort of shadow image down the left and right side of the container div. How about removing the leftShadow and rightShadow divs, put a repeatable background image on the content div of width 809px (and maybe height 1, depending on what your shadow image looks like). Also perhaps set overflow:hidden on the content div - if I remember rightly thats a kind of hack which will make the containing div stretch in this situation.
