I have a two column layout:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="sidewrapper"></div>
<div id="contentwrapper"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I want to have both sidebar and content be 100% in height but the most top container's min-height should be 100%.
I tried to solve it with the following css:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html {
font-family: Georgia, serif;
color: #000; height:100%; min-height:100px;
}
body {
background: #fff; height:100%; min-height:100px; overflow:hidden;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 23px;
}
#container {
position:relative;
width: 100%; height:100%;
margin: auto; background:blue;
}
#contentwrapper {
float:left;
background:red;
position: relative;
width: 700px; padding:0px; margin:0px;
height: auto;
}
#sidewrapper {
float:left;
position: relative;
width: 159px; height:100%;
padding:0px; margin:0px;
}
...but I get a scrollbar because of the header's 23px height. I tried to solve it with overflow:hidden for the body element but I do not know if that is the right solution.
Any ideas?
If my assumption I put forward in my comment to the question is right, then sidebar is 100% high, and on top of that you have a 23px header, so that causs your container to be 100% + 23px high.
In the future you will have in css calc() http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/06/css3-calc/ . This will solve your problem.
Now, I guess you should calculate the height of the sidebar ( = height of container - 23px), by javascript.
Make #header position absolute. This will cut that block out of the normal flow and you'll be able to make heights of other blocks equal to their parent.
#header {
position: absolute;
width: 100%; height: 23px;
top: 0; left: 0;
}
#sidewrapper,
#contentwrapper {
float: left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
}
#sidewrapper .content,
#contentwrapper .content {
margin-top: 23px;
}
The height of an element is compared with its father element. In your case, I recommend you specify the concrete width & height for "containter", because it'll be hard to pretend the size of the screen on many machines.
If you insists use percent, I recommend you use for both element, such as header 25% height and content 75% height.
Lets say I've a html body and a div inside and I want to make the height of the div to the entire browser without scroll bar and side gaps. Then understand the following example below, and implement your own.
Html:
<body>
<div id="yellowDiv">
<div>
</body>
CSS:
body{
margin:0px;
}
yellowDiv{
background-color:yellow;
height:100vh;
}

I have what seems to be a simple css question but having difficulty achieving. I have 2 divs that sit one on top of the other. I would like the combined height of both divs to be 100% but the top to be a static defined height. The bottom div will contain a list of data that will overflow to scroll. What is the best way to achieve this? Below is sample code for something close.
#container{
height:auto;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
}
#top{
height:175px;
min-height:175px;
max-height:175px;
}
#bottom{
height:70%;
}
<div id="container">
<!-- top div set to 100px -->
<div id="top"></div>
<!-- bottom div dynamic height based on remaining real estate -->
<div id="bottom"></div>
</div>
You could use CSS calc(), so #bottom {height:calc(100% - 175px);}.
html, body {
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
#container {
height:100%;
}
#top {
height:175px;
background:lime;
}
#bottom {
height:calc(100% - 175px);
background:teal;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="top">top</div>
<div id="bottom">bottom</div>
</div>
Or use CSS table layout if you need to support more browsers.
html, body {
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
#container {
height:100%;
width:100%;
display:table;
}
#top, #bottom {
display:table-row;
}
#top {
height:175px;
background:lime;
}
#bottom {
height:100%;
background:teal;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="top">top</div>
<div id="bottom">bottom</div>
</div>
You can use height:calc(100% - 175px); for this:
http://jsfiddle.net/9ygz4pnj/
html,body,#container{
height:100%;
}
#top{
height:175px;
border:1px solid red;
}
#bottom{
height:calc(100% - 175px);
border:1px solid green;
}
You can achieve this by defining a height and min-height on your containers.
First of all you need to define a height: 100% in your body (and html).
Than you need to create a container div which will be the mother of your top and bottom divs.
Than use position: relative and min-height: 100% in your container div.
You can align your top div to top: 0 and left: 0 a definite height and position absolute.
You can align your bottom div to bottom: 0 and left: 0 a calc function and position absolute. For the content scrolling part in bottom div use overflow scroll.
JSFiddle Example
Right now, I am using a french (or german keyboard) which is quite hard for me to use. I will edit the answer with a more meaningful text when I return home.
This is a basic css file that you can use.
html, body { height: 100%; margin:0; }
.container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
.top {
background: black;
color: white;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.bottom {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: yellow;
height: calc(100% - 200px);
overflow: scroll;
}
My HTML structure is basically this -
<div id="header">
<div class="container">
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="container">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<div class="container">
</div>
</div>
Ignore any elements except <div id="header">
I want to align <div class="container"> inside <div id="header"> at exactly bottom center. I'm using the following CSS code-
#header{ width:1062px; height:326px; background-color:#110000; text-align:center; position:relative; }
#header .container{ width:940px; height:262px; background-color:#220000; margin:0px auto; position:absolute; bottom:0px; }
There are height differences between the parent (#header) and child (#header .container) DIVs. Removing position:absolute; from the child centers it but it sticks to the parent's top instead of bottom. Keeping position:absolute; sticks it at the bottom but aligns it to the left.
How do I align it both center AND bottom at the same time?
I tried all the solution above but it didn't work when you resize the browser window. This solution is mostly to be applied when you don't know the element's width. Or if the width is changed on resize.
After making some research I tried the following and it worked perfectly on all screen sizes.
#somelement {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
bottom: 0px;
-webkit-transform: translateX(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%)
}
I shared this for anyone still facing this issue.
try in this way:
#header .container{
width: 940px;
height: 262px;
background-color: #220000;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0 ;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -470px;
}
try this
#header .container {
width: 940px;
height: 262px;
background-color: #220000;
margin: 0px auto;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 61px;
}
use this:
#header{
width:1062px; height:262px; background-color:#110000; text-align:center;
position:relative;text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom;padding-top:64px;
}
#header .container{
width:940px;
height:262px;
background-color:#999000;
margin:0px auto;
bottom:0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
}
Here the jsfiddle
UPDATE:
As DenisVuyka said in comment, i should add that the above sample was as answer to this particular question with fixed height for DIV.
If you want that height of DIV don't break up things then for example you should use padding-top:10%; in the #header and height:100% in #header .container CSS.
#header{
width:462px; height:262px; background-color:#110000; text-align:center;
position:relative;text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom;padding-top:10%;
}
#header .container{
width:300px;
height:100%;
background-color:#999000;
margin:0px auto;
bottom:0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
}
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/d6ct6/ .
I was trying to get this to work in my project as well. I've edited this jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/d6ct6/
<div id="header">
<div class="container">
</div>
</div>
#header {
height:100vh;
background-color:#110000;
position:relative;
}
#header .container{
width:300px;
height:40px;
background-color:#999000;
bottom:0px;
position:absolute;
left:calc((100% - 300px)/2);
}
But I've found this only works when the width of .container is fixed.
If the width of .container is not fixed you would need javascript to find it's width and then change that width in the calc.
When the widths are responsive, use this:
HTML
<div id="header">
<div id="container">
</div>
</div>
CSS
#header {
height:100vh;
background-color:#110000;
position:relative;
}
#container{
width:300px;
height:40px;
background-color:#999000;
bottom:0px;
position:absolute;
}
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
var parentWidth = $('#header').width();
var trapWidth = $('#container').width();
var deadCenter = (parentWidth - trapWidth);
var deadHalf = Number( deadCenter / 2 );
$('#container').css("right", deadHalf);
});
In case you care more about having the inside div aligned in the center and can manually set the vertical alignment.
DEMO Height I used was first div height - second div height.
#header .container{ width:940px; height:262px; background-color:red; margin:0 auto; position:relative; top: 64px; }
I would take advantage of CSS table display properties and do the following:
#header {
width:1062px;
height:326px;
background-color:#110000;
text-align:center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
#header .container {
width:900px;
height:262px;
background-color:#cccccc;
color: white;
display: inline-block;
}
Set the #header block to display: table-cell and set vertical-align: bottom to align the child's bottom edge to the bottom edge of the parent.
The child .container element had display: inline-block and this will allow it to respond the text-align: center property of the parent.
This will work regardless of the width of the child .container.
Demo fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/p9CxE/
This same problem was bedevilling me for an hour or so, until I realised I could add an intermediary div; this separated the vertical alignment issue from the centering.
.dparent {
border: 1px solid red;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
}
.dchild {
border: 1px solid blue;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
bottom: 0px;
position: relative;
}
.dmid {
border: 1px solid green;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
<div class="dparent">
<div class="dmid">
<div class="dchild"></div>
</div>
</div>
Do the vertical alignment first, with an absolute position and the 0 bottom. Then do the centering with margin-left and margin-right set to auto.
You might try this solution for any concerned width:
width:100%;
position:absolute;
bottom: 5px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-50%;
Good luck!
I want my margins to collapse fully before the body starts to become narrower like how it is on http://www.skysports.com/, and only when the margins have fully collapsed then the body can become narrower. I've been playing around with px, em, and % in my css for ages and haven't been able to make it work. Here is what i have so far.
html { background-image:url(images/webBackground.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
height:100%; width:100%;
}
body { background:black;
height:100%; width:75%;
margin:0 12.5% 0 12.5%;
}
#container { width: 100%; height: 100%; }
Here's a jsfiddle exmaple of what I think you're asking for.
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="main-content">
<div class="push"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
body, html {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
width: 500px; /* specific resolution width */
margin: 0px auto 0px;
}
#main-content {
background-color: red;
}
#main-content .push {
height: 500px;
}
Sorry I didnt fully understand your question. Assuming that you need your image center aligned whatever width of the screen.
body
{background: url(images/webBackground.jpg) no-repeat fixed center 0 black;}
Hi all. I need help in arrange the div of my website.
My website has 3 main DIVs.
1. DIV1 - My Header (fixed height)
2. DIV2 - Dynamic Content area so height varies
3. DIV3 - My Footer (fixed height)
All DIVs have 100% width.
The DIV1 header must have 0px with respect to the top of the browser. I wanted the 3 DIVs must be on top of each other as shown in the image. If the user has a resolution taller than my 3 DIVs, what will be at the most bottom after the DIVs are just empty spaces. However, I cant seem to get that layout working. the DIV3 footer keep giving me trouble.
I've following CSS code:
div1 {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
}
div2 {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
}
div3 {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
}
If I use position: fixed for DIV3, and my DIV2 has a shorter content, the whole website will look weird.
If I try changed to position: relative for DIV3, DIV3 will overlap and appear in front of DIV1.
Is there any better suggestion for that?
Thank you very much.
Is there any reason why you're using positioning to layout the div's?
Div's will naturally stack on top of each other without any need for positioning.
I think that you want fixed header and footer positioning.
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/basics2.html
HTML
<div class="div1">header</div>
<div class="div2">Content area</div>
<div class="div3">Footer</div>

.div1 {
height:100px; background:red; width:100%
}
.div2 {
position: relative;
top: 0px; background:green; width:100%; height:100px;
}
.div3 {
background:blue; width:100%; height:100px;
}

I hope this may be helpful to you
use footer as bottom: 0px; if you want to fixed this in bottom
Here the demo: fiddle
body{
background:green;
}
div.one {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background: #4f4f4f;
}
div.two {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin-top: 50px;
}
div.three {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background: red;
}
Check this: CSS layout generator.
EDIT:
Check this fiddle
Try using:
.head{
position:fixed;
top:0px;
}
.footer{
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
}
In style, I put same height for div1,div2,div3 = 100px :
<style>
body
{
margin: 0 auto;
}
#div1 {
height: 100px;
width:100%;
top: 0px;
background-color:#F00;
}
#div2 {
height: 100px;
width:100%;
top: 0px;
background-color:#00F;
}
#div3 {
height: 100px;
width:100%;
top: 0px;
background-color:#FF0;
}
</style>
and in html tags:
<body>
<div id="div1">Header</div>
<div id="div2">Cotent</div>
<div id="div3">Footer</div>
</body>
I hope this will fit your requirements,
i have a mind bobbling question.
I need a 100% width, 100% height container with 20px margin that expands with content. Is this at all possible? The closest i got was with this method:
#container {
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0px;
left:0;
right:0;
margin:20px;
}
but then it wont expand in height with content.
Anybody know the divine technique for this?
I'm pretty sure it isn't possible to do with a single element, but if you don't mind having 3 spacer div elements, this solution works in all browsers:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%; padding: 0; /* padding 0 is for jsfiddle */
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: -20px; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the spacer height */
background-color: #ccc;
}
.spacer.edge {
background-color: white; /* same as body background */
}
.spacer {
height: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="spacer edge"></div>
<!-- content here -->
<div class="spacer"></div>
</div>
<div class="spacer edge"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here's a fiddle to play with: http://jsfiddle.net/dTyTW/
I you want to expand the div with the content , then you need to set position : relative and in order to stick towards the bottom padding-bottom also need to be set.
#container {
position:relative;
top:20px;
bottom:20px;
left:20px;
right:20px;
padding-bottom: 80%;
border:1px solid red;
}
Values can be adjusted as per the requirement.
Try here
Remove the margin and give each position a 20px.
Also remove the bottom.
Add padding-bottom:20px;
#container {
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:20px;
right:20px;
padding-bottom:20px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/jasongennaro/w7dQP/3/
EDIT
If you are not opposed to using some jQuery, you could also do this
var h = $(document).height();
var h2 = $('#container').height();
if(h2 < h){
$('#container').height(h);
}
This ensures that if the div is smaller than the browser viewport, it will expand to fit it.
Once the text is as big or bigger, the styles will take care of it.

Use the padding property... look up the box model.
