Greets,
I'm currently working on a website and have stumbled upon some layout difficulties. What I want is a website with a header (fixed hight) and followed by three columns (left, middle, left). I want the columns to stretch from top to bottom. But when I set them to a 100% height, the page gets overflow from the static header on 140px. I have included an image of the page with lots of colors to show the divs (http://oi51.tinypic.com/974rqd.jpg).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This should solve your problem:

Set a background image that repeats vertically. Either one image for each section, or easier yet, a single image that contains the dividers of all 3 sections.
See here for an example of this being done.

I am sorry the question must have been asked before but I could not find it
I am currently building my first site with Elementor and the Hello Theme
I would like to create a simple full-width section with two columns:
One image and one text
On the left I added an image and cannot get rid of the left margin (see picture)
I understood that the session's margin left-right is blocked and I would like to bypass it
I know there are others ways to achieve my goal like setting the image as the background of my column but I cannot believe one couldn't achieve this with a simple image
Thank you for helping me
Section with left padding
Set the column padding where the image is to 0, you hover on the section you will see the column icon on the top left of the column.
So I have a site with four main sections. The div for each section has a background image. All four backgrounds are the same size. There are also important elements in the images that I always want to show. In the original version of the page the image would resize depending upon the browser window size but much of the height of the background image was hidden in most cases. So I worked with a guy cleaning up the css and in the process we set the background images to always display 100% height. I was OK with some black background showing through on the sides a bit when necessary as long as I kept the height.
Anyway it worked well. The images expanded and shrank with the browser width, but they always showed the full height of the image. I signed off on the job and it looked good. Until I changed the browser window height (which is something I rarely think to do). Then the elements all spilled out to the right and left of the 4 main divs. I realize now that nothing in the document specifies the width of any section, just the height at 100vh. Only the fact that all four background images have the same dimensions makes it look like there are defined margins.
Is there a simple solution to this? I need to define a right and left border to the page to contain all of the inner divs and buttons, but I want to keep the 4 main divs showing 100% vertical height.
We are using
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-height: 100vh;
to define each of the four divs.
Basically I need a container surrounding the 4 main sections that expands to the width of the images, while still allowing the images to resize with the window, yet it keeps all of the other buttons and divs contained.
The page can be seen here: view-source:http://liquidpropane.io/hold/
It works right now exactly like I want except the buttons spill out the sides if the browser window is too short.
Thanks for the help Justin. In the end I did have to rethink the design. I wanted to keep the idea of using the background collages, but keep the responsive design. I moved the homepage logo out of the background image and into the banner section. Then I moved the important parts of the collage into the center part of the main image, and the less important parts to the sides. That way cropping at the sides will not matter. Finally I decided to remove the rounded text boxes out of sections 1 and 3. I will just use a small bit of landing page text (quite big in a thin font) on those pages and put the bulk of the content in sections 2 and 4. I have not added that text in yet, but the cleaned up version of the background and banner can be seen at http://liquidpropane.io/newhold
I guess the takeaway that is not specific to just my case is that if information in the background image is important and you want a responsive site, then the important part of the image needs to be centered because there is always the likelihood of cropping on the edges.
I have been looking for tutorials on this for a while now and am coming across a problem. I have a layout with a fixed header at 100px in height and a fixed footer at 50px in height. In my content, I have a menu on the left at 200px wide and content on the right that fills the rest of the screen. My header, footer and menu all have styles applied for background colours and borders.
What I want is for my footer to remain at the bottom of the window, or at the bottom of my content, if the content is longer. I want for the menu to be the same height as the content, so that the styles I have applied will remain intact. What I get is either the footer sticks to the bottom of the content because the content is shorter than the menu, or there is a gap between the bottom of the menu and the top of the footer.
Every tutorial I have found fixes this, but requires the menu to have no background (it takes the background styles from the <body> tag. As I said, the styles I have applied are attached to the menu. Is there a way to fix this?
UPDATE: My source can be found at http://jsfiddle.net/53SZd/3/. That is what I have now (apologies if the floats cause all manner of headaches), but if there are ways to have it looking how I want, I am very open to suggestions.
UPDATE 2: I think my way of explaining this is wrong. I have uploaded some images of what I want to my Google Drive that should explain what I want.
Whilst I do sincerely appreciate the help that I am getting here, there is always one caveat that appears. Many thanks to Waz for his help, I do really appreciate it, but I am coming across one issue or another with each answer. I never realised that getting the effect I want could be so hard -_-"
seems that u might be using float property on the menu, if that is the case you would have to clear float with the footer or a div, but seeing the codes would be great help for your answer
one way to do it is to put a margin-left on your content of 220px (200 for the menu +20 for it not to be just aside the menu)
had the same problem, this solved it.
for the footer, the solution of james is the best ( put clear : both on your footer)
here is how it works : http://jsfiddle.net/53SZd/19/
EDIT : I understood the prolem was for the content.
give your menu top= 111px(100 size of header, 11 for padding) and bottom=51px (50 height footer,1 border) and your footer bottom=0px;
Ok so i am trying to create a 3 column layout with css and html on Expression web and when i view it in a browser my left panel div column overlaps my heading div column and my right panel div column overlaps the header also.Plus theirs a lot of white space between my main content column and my right panel column. Its no white space in between the layout when its minimized but it still overlaps.please help
I'm not sure what your specific problem is without seeing your code. I find the best way to learn CSS is by example. so, I'd suggest looking through these.
(I haven't looked to see if these are using the latest design standards)

I have this website.
The div container contains a background with a grungy look, and the body contains another background that is repeated on the x coordinate.
If you view the site you'll see whitespace on the left and right side. I am wondering how I can set the background images to expand based on the screen resolution. Would it work to set a width based on percentage for each div?
To my knowledge, CSS does not support scaling background images, which is disappointing to say the least. Long story short, you'll probably have to fake it with a fixed-position, z-indexed img tag. That, or what you did: a large image with a background-repeat.
I dont see any issues with what you've got in FF3/IE6/IE7 and chrome. only issue i see is the transparent png in ie6 with the ugly gray behind it.
ie6 I gotta fix but what the customer wants is for the with of the page to size up based on the users computer resolution
Unfortunately, you can't scale the image itself.
What you could do would be remake the div structure so that the inner div contains the center of the grungy background and the sides were tiled through two separate divs. You could then recut the center piece to tile both vertically and horizontally and give it a width that is a percentage of the window size. You could keep it from getting too small via javascript.
This is not an optimal solution, but if the client is set on having it scale with the browser window, this might accomplish it for them.
thanks for all your answers, when i said white space i didnt mean actual white space what i was refering to was that the entire container div wasnt sizing (width wise) towards what the users computer resolution was. and since allot of the divs are set with a background image there is no css code for setting the width on the image but i guess it would work on the divs. but thankfully after talking with the customer he changed his mind and doesnt want it anymore :)
