Im not too great at CSS but hopefully someone on here can help. I have the following mockup. (i have stripped out my content to make it easy to view)
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="body">
<div id="navBar"></div>
<div id="mainContent"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
my CSS is as follows:
html,
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background:#ff0;
padding:10px;
}
#body {
padding:10px;
padding-bottom:60px; /* Height of the footer */
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:60px; /* Height of the footer */
background:#6cf;
}
now im unsure as to how to get the "navBar" to be the page height. I've tried adding height: 100% but that doesnt work.
Thanks,
Matt
Giving an element height: 100% will give it a height equal to that of its containing element, which in your case is #body. Since body in your example is only as big as it needs to be to hold its content, #navBar will be 100% of that height.
To fix this, you can make #container and #body height:100% to make them as tall as tho body tag, which takes up the whole page:
#container {
height:100%
}
#body{
height:100%;
}
In the interest of completeness, you could also set the top and bottom of #navBar:
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 60px; /* height of footer */
To understand the difference, play around with This JS Fiddle. Mess around with the height and top, bottom, position properties to see how your changes affect the layout; just don't use both positioning methods at once!
Your issue appears to be that each parent DIV all the way up to the BODY tag must explicitely have a height of 100% for #navBar to have 100% height. This means you would also have to set the height of #body to 100% as well, since it is the parent container of #navBar.
Have a look at this site - I assume you want a two column layout - this site will show you how to do what you want. Hope it helps.

I have a simple HTML page and it contains two divs aligned vertically. The page is scrollable because of second div. I want the first div's position to be fixed, or nonscrollable, so that only the second div is scrollable. I added position:fixed to first div's css but this time, the second div was placed on first div, so the first div disappears under the second div.
CSS
body {
width:1000px;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;/*body ortalama*/
}
#div1 {
height:300px;
background-color:#00CC66;
}
#div2 {
display:block;
word-wrap:break-word;
padding:30px;
font-size:72px;
background-color:#FF3;
}
HTML
<div>
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2">
<p>
<!--Content Here-->
</p>
</div>
</div>
Fixed is always relative to the parent window, never an element. Once the position is set to fixed its taken out of the document flow.
Fixed positioning is a subcategory of absolute positioning. The only difference is that for a fixed positioned box, the containing block is established by the viewport.
so in the second div2 add these
position:relative;
top:300px; /*Bump it down by the height of div1;*/
Hope it helps;
You should add a height and set overflow auto instead of scroll because with scroll you will have the scrollbar always even if the content is less than the specified height. For example:
#div2 {
background-color: #FFFF33;
display: block;
font-size: 72px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
padding: 30px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
Add this css to #div2 (you'll need to specify a height for #div2 otherwise the the scroll bar won't know where to start):
overflow-y:auto;
height:50px;
See the example here: http://jsfiddle.net/38xkn/1/ (scroll to the right first as you've set the body width to 100px, then you'll see the scroll bar for #div2).
Okay, here is another option. It's layout is somewhat different but it should get the job done. It uses absolute positioning on div1 to get it to the top, and a percentage width to stop it covering the scroll bar for div2. It's not perfect so you may need to tweek it slightly.
HTML
<body>
<div>
<div id="div1">a</div>
<div id="div2">
<p> SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;/*body ortalama*/
overflow:hidden;
}
#div1{
height:300px;
background-color:#00CC66;
position:absolute;
top:0;
width:97.5%;
}
#div2{
display:block;
word-wrap:break-word;
padding:30px;
font-size:72px;
background-color:#FF3;
overflow-y:auto;
max-height:50px;
padding-top:300px;
}

I have a three-parts layout: header, content and footer. I am very well familiar with the absolute positioning technique; I use it a lot when I want the content div to extend to 100% of available height.
In this case, my problem is that I don't know in advance the height of the footer, it is dynamic based on its own content, which has an unknown number of lines (typically between 1 to 3 lines).
I want the main content div to grab 100% of available height, after accounting for the height of the header (which is fixed, so it's a no-brainer) and for the height of the footer therefore I can't use absolute positioning technique here.
I have a solution with involves javascript, but I am trying to find a css-only solution. Ideally, it should be a cross-browser solution (IE8, IE9, chrome, firefox and Safari).
Try this
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<style>
html,
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background:#ff0;
padding:10px;
}
#body {
padding:10px;
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
background:#6cf;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">header</div>
<div id="body">body</div>
<div id="footer">footer</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'm trying to achieve, that the div's will behave like an example on picture, using css:
Is there any clean way to do this? I achieve this using javascript to calculate "left" div height and "main" div width and height. But i dont like this solution...is there any way to do this using css only?
Edit:
Page must not have scrollbar...so page's height is always max 100%, and no more...
thanks
If the sidebar (or any other div) is 100% height, and on top you have a 30px header, so that causes your container to be 100% + 30px height.
In the future you will have in css3 calc():
http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/06/css3-calc/
This will solve your problem.
But for now you can add overflow: hidden; to the html and body section, but I recommend calculate the height of the sidebar ( container height - header height) using Javascript.
Check fiddle here
If you mean the two-column layout, you do it with pure CSS like this:
.container {
background-color: #aaaaaa;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 100px;
clear: left;
}
.right {
margin-left: 100px;
background-color: #888888;
}
and HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="right">right</div>
</div>
Live demo: jsFiddle
The div on top can be achieved without any special CSS. To place something below (a footer for example), you'll need to use clear: both.
Without any code it is hard to determine what you want. Here is a extremely simple version of what I believe you want.
HTML:
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="side">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
CSS:
#header {
width:100%;
height:50px;
}
#side {
width:300px;
height:100%;
float:left;
}
#content {
width:660px;
height:100%;
float:left;
}

I have a main div at the center of the screen at the shape of the touch pad.
Within it I have another div in which I want to display output. However, the pad itself is set on % to react on different resolutions.
See the pic below, yellow window is the whole pad and the red window is the content screen.
Now I want to make that red window exactly as the pad's screen is set on % so it could adapt on different resolutions, is there a simple way of doing that?
Yellow's css:
#mainWindow{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background-image:url("../images/mainWindow.png");
background-size:100% 100%;
height:100%;
width:80%;
position: relative;
border-style:solid;
border-width:3px;
border-color:yellow;
}
The red one doesn't really have anything.
I hope you understood me. Thanks beforehand.
EDIT:
html code for the screens:
<div id='mainWindow'>
<div id='screen'>
</div>
</div>
In order for a DIV to have 100% height, you need to make its parents 100% height as well:
body, html {height:100%}
Slightly confusing prompt, but see if this works for you:
http://jsfiddle.net/T3MHZ/
HTML snippet:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id='mainWindow'>
<div id='screen'></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS styles:
html, body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
#mainWindow{
margin:0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
/* SET THE PADDING TO THE PX MEASURE OF THE TABLET BORDER */
padding:50px 40px 50px 40px;
/* box sizing will make sure that the usable content size is minus the padding value */
box-sizing:border-box;
position: relative;
border:1px solid black;
}
#screen{
width:100%;
height:100%;
border:1px solid red;
}
By using a combination of measured padding on #mainWindow to account for the tablet border, and box sizing of border-box to assure exact fit of the #screen content, this should give you the flexible layout you're looking for.
Don't forget your viewport meta tag! ;)
I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you want correctly, but try
height: 100%;
on red.
min-height:100%;
You have no content, it's going 100% of it's parent content. Diodeus's answer would work as well for the same reason, if the body, html are 100% window height then the divs inside will look at that as content.
http://jsfiddle.net/calder12/Jq7xR/
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="outside">
<div class="inside"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
.container{height:250px;width:400px;}
.outside{border:1px solid red; min-height:100%; height:100%;}
.inside{border:1px solid green; min-height:82.5%; margin:5%}
To be honest even my brain is struggling with the 82.5% height to get the margins to work right =/ But I do believe that is what you're after.
This is probably a very dummy question, don't throw your shoes at me :)
Consider having HTML like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
</div>
<div class="body">
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div>
I want 'header' and 'footer' to be anchored to the parent's top and bottom respectively, and 'body' to grow easily to fit all available space.
What would the CSS look like to achieve this?
EDIT: Maybe I'm saying this wrong (i'm not exactly a web developer :) ), but what I need is to have some part of a div always attached to its bottom. So when div grows this part (which might have a fixed size) would go lower with the div's lower end. But all this doesn't mean attaching a div to the bottom of browser's window.
If I understand your question correctly, you require some really basic css.
body { background: black; }
.container { width: 960px; }
.header { height: 100px; background: #ddd; }
.content { padding: 10px; }
.footer { height: 100px; background: #ddd; }
Your div's are not floated, so will stack on top of each other like pancakes.
If you want the footer to be "sticky", see here for a solution...
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
Here you go:
Example page - footer sticks to bottom
this will have the content right
between the footer and the header.
no overlapping.
HTML
<header>HEADER</header>
<article>
<p>some content here (might be very long)</p>
</article>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
CSS
html{ height:100%; }
body{ min-height:100%; padding:0; margin:0; position:relative; }
body:after{
content:'';
display:block;
height:100px; // compensate Footer's height
}
header{ height:50px; }
footer{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100px; // height of your Footer (unfortunately it must be defined)
}
Try this: Set position: relative on the parent div. Set position: absolute on the inner div(s) and set both the top and the bottom properties; don't set height. The inner div(s) should stretch vertically with the parent, as required. (Doesn't work in IE6 and below unfortunately).
