We've been looking all over the web, but can't find a solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem basically we've got two divs who need to be equal in height. In them we've got multiple other divs who need to scale in height with them.
We tried 100% height, flexbox, inherit, overflow hidden and other things we could think of. To no avail.
This is a simplistic view of what we've got:
.col-sm-12 {
width: 100%;
display: flex
}
.col-sm-6 {
width: 50%;
float: left;
flex: 1;
}
.c1 {
}
.c2 {
padding: 20px;
}
.c3 {
border: 1px solid grey;
padding: 20px;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
background-color: grey;
}
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

How can we get the two boxes below the image to equal height?
Any help is appreciated!
There is no CSS method of equalising heights of elements that do not share a parent. If the top image is always the same height between columns you can use flexbox to expand the smaller/shorter column though.
.col-sm-12 {
display: flex;
}
.col-sm-6 {
width: 50%;
flex: 1;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.c1 {
flex: 1;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.c2 {
padding: 20px;
flex: 1;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;

.c3 {

padding: 20px;

Just use inline-style on the text div tags:
style="height:30em;overflow:scroll"
lol. There might be a lot of new, flashy and sexy frameworks & technologies out there (which I really like), but sometimes going back to the old school methods is a lot simpler and more efficient.

I'm looking for a way to create this two column layout, the content on the right is centred horizontally and vertically but the content on the left is centred horizontally and vertically aligned with the top of the content in column twos as the length of the content in column two changes the content in column one always stays aligned to the top.
Please take a look at the image attached as this is easier to explain visually
This can't just be a padded box because as the content on the right grows the padding reduces to stay centered, and the main columns need to stay a min height

I think if there was a way to calculate the current height of the content in column two and apply it to column one, that might work?
Try running this code snippet. I am not fully aware of what you expect since there is no real content given anywhere from your side, but maybe with a few more lines of CSS you can achieve what you desire.
.container {
min-height: 400px;

How would I do this?
My suggestion, based on the understanding that you want to the .overlay element to only cover its parent .Flex-item is to use transform to position, and move, the element:
.flexContainer {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
gap: 30px;
position: relative;
}
.overlay {
position: absolute;
background-color: #008CBA;
transition: transform 0.5s ease;
/* moving the element along its x-axis (left/right)
to the left (negative) 100% of the element's own
width: */
transform: translateX(-100%);
/* setting a 0 length inset from the top, right,
bottom and left sides of the parent element: */
inset: 0;
}
.Flex-item {
border: 5px red solid;
/* in order to position the descendant .overlay
element in relation to this element: */
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.Flex-item:hover .overlay {
/* when the parent is hovered we position the element in
its default state by setting the x-axis translation
back to 0: */
transform: translateX(0);
}

I have a layout with an aside that takes up half the screen. The content inside the aside will stay fixed for a period of time. That's being stored in the container-text container. I would like everything in this container to stay fixed, however I would like the "hello" header text both horizontally and vertically centered. The "how" "are" "you" should be be at the bottom of the screen, centered with space between (they will be navigation). I managed to center a fixed container, but could not position the navigation. It is responsive left/right, but not top/bottom (I would like nav to stay at bottom and "Hello" to stay centered).
Is this what you are looking to achieve?

</div>
This is achieving the desired effect of making the text stay left and the sub content stay right, without having to specify a width for the text (for responsive behaviour). However, semantically this is incorrect as I have had to place <div id="subcontent"/> before <div id="text"/> in the html, even though the text should appear before the sub content (assuming reading rtl). I can live with this to get the job done but unfortunately when the screen size is very small I need to make <div id="text"/> full width and let the sub content flow naturally afterwards. This currently means the sub content is at the top and I need it to be at the bottom.
How can I change the css so that when the html is ordered
<div id="text"/>
<div id="subcontent"/>
the sub content will float right without being pushed down by the text?
I need to support IE9+
Float is a pain.
Try to use flex and media queries for a responsive design :
Note: since you mention rtl reading, I strongly advise you to have a look on the flex-direction property (MDN)
#wrapper {
display: flex;
width: 400px;
background-color: red;
/* this is the default behavior - you can skip it */
flex-direction: row;
}
#text {
}
#subcontent {
width: 50px;
}
#media (max-width: 400px) {
#wrapper {
flex-direction: column;
}
}

Cool. If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to change the order of the HTML, yet have the output still look the same?
If this is the case, you need to give #text AND #subcontent a float:left; add a clearing div and use a calc width on your text to make sure that the image will always fit in whilst the text can be responsively sized.
Here's a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/hk9ntyd2/1/
And here's the code:
#wrapper {
width: 400px;
background-color: red;
}
#text {
width: calc(100% - 50px);
float: left;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
#subcontent {
float: left;
width: 50px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis leo sapien. Nunc convallis elit purus, non fringilla quam lobortis at. Integer pharetra auctor luctus. In congue dolor a pretium facilisis. Donec et risus lacinia augue pellentesque mollis
eget a urna. Sed dapibus est enim, id iaculis arcu ultrices sit amet. Donec quis dolor risus. Suspendisse a nunc a enim mattis finibus eget vitae diam. Phasellus dictum commodo metus, ut rutrum dolor pretium a. Aliquam at sem vel tortor mollis tristique.
Proin neque dolor, pellentesque ut euismod id, finibus sed lacus. Mauris varius tempor diam, at varius risus. Etiam dictum metus et augue bibendum commodo. Vestibulum imperdiet elit vitae bibendum finibus. Maecenas mollis dui ex, id suscipit mauris
cursus vitae. Vivamus nec faucibus elit.</div>
<div id="subcontent">
<img src="http://moviesalbum.com/wp-content/themes/sunny/timthumb.php?src=http://moviesalbum.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Koala-300x225.jpg&h=120&w=120&zc=1&q=90" width="50">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
The margin-left:50px; solution should have worked fine, I personally find that the calc solution is a little neater, but feel free to use margin instead :)
Here's an example demonstrating this problem:

As seen in the example by looking at the borders, once the content goes above 100% heigtht, the content overflows. I'd rather have the element expand.
To fix this, one would remove specifying the height. However, if there is no height specified then how am I supposed to control the height of all the content?(using percentages) I need buttons, headers, footers and so on that need a height set to it. (Without HTML and BODY having a 100% height, no other elements will be able to set a height using percentages)
In case it is not clear, I am talking about a fluid layout where the height is given in percentages.
So is this even possible or should I just give this up?
I think what you're after is a fluid width 100% and 100% height, so that the content vertically and horizontally expands. That is a tough thing and can't be done with css alone, flexbox might be able to do it, though I don't know. I saw it recently done with CSS and jQuery using a fixed height on both the header and footer, but the rest is fluid height and width:

I made it more responsive here: http://jsbin.com/momep/7/edit
CSS
/* Reset */
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
/* Sticky footer */
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#page {
height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
min-height: 100%;
}
#sticky-footer-wrap {
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
.site-main {
overflow: hidden;
height: 100%;
}
.site-footer {
position: relative;
height: 100px;
margin-top: -100px;
clear: both;
}
/* Header */
.site-header {
height: 100px;
}
#media (min-width:992px) {
/* 3 columns */
#primary {
float: left;
width: 50%;
margin-left: 25%;
}
#secondary {
float: left;
width: 25%;
margin-left:-75%;
}
#tertiary{
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
}
/* Colours */
.site-header {
background: #C5E0DC;
}
#primary {
background-color: #F1D4AF;
}
#secondary {
background-color: #ECE5CE;
}
#tertiary{
background-color: #E08E79;
}
.site-footer {
background: #774F38;
}
HTML
<div id="page">
<div id="sticky-footer-wrap">
<header class="site-header">
<h3>Header</h3>
</header>
<div class="site-main">
<div id="primary">
<h2>Primary content</h2>
<h1>Layout Features</h1>
<ul>
<li>Header (fixed height)</li>
<li>3 fluid columns</li>
<li>100% or full height columns (jQuery)</li>
<li>Sticky footer (fixed height)</li>
<li>Correct source order of columns</li>
<li>IE8 compatible (Modernizr)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="secondary">
<h3>Secondary content</h3>
</div>
<div id="tertiary">
<h4>Tertiary content</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<footer class="site-footer">
<h3>Footer (sticky)</h3>
</footer>
jQuery
// On page load
$(window).load(columnHeight);
// On window resize
$(window).resize( function () {
// Clear all forced column heights before recalculating them after window resize
$("#primary").css("height", "");
$("#secondary").css("height", "");
$("#tertiary").css("height", "");
columnHeight();
});
// Make columns 100% in height
function columnHeight() {
// Column heights should equal the document height minus the header height and footer height
var newHeight = $(document).height() - $(".site-header").height() - $(".site-footer").height() + "px";
$("#primary").css("height", newHeight);
$("#secondary").css("height", newHeight);
$("#tertiary").css("height", newHeight);
}
You can replace height with min-height: 100%. And at the end of your HTML add a div with css rule clear: both to clean up all the floating elements.
So it will look like this :
<body>
<header>
<h1>
Heading
</h1>
</header>
<div id="container">
<div id="left">

I'm not entirely sure what you're attempting to do here, but how about this?
http://jsfiddle.net/9X8j2/
Only the CSS changed:
body{
width:100%;
margin:0;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px 1px blue;
}
h1{
margin-top:0;
}
#container{
width:100%;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px 1px gray;
}
#header{
min-height:12%;
clear:both;
float:left;
width:100%;
box-shadow: inherit;
}
#footer{
min-height:10%;
box-shadow: inherit;
clear:both;
width:100%;
}
#left{
float:left;
box-shadow: inherit;
width:24.5%;
padding:0.5%;
min-height:50%;
}
#main{
float:left;
box-shadow: inherit;
width:48%;
min-height:50%;
padding:0.5%;
}
#right{
float:left;
box-shadow: inherit;
width:24.5%;
padding:0.5%;
min-height:50%;
}
I changed the color of the box shadows to tell them apart a little easier.
Removing most of the height attributes may be what you're looking for.. including removing the CSS on the HTML tag. At least now the container does not overflow the body.
Please let me know if this is at all helpful.
