div loses its full height if another div has a margin - html

I need all divs to be 100% document height. It works till some of them has a top margin. In this case remaining divs loses its full height.
How can I stretch all div's height to full document height, regardless of margin of any of them?
* {
.margin: 0;
}
html {
background: red;
height: 100%;
}
body {
max-width: 1366px;
background: blue;
height: 100%;
}
#divleft {
float: left;
background: lightblue;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
}
#divmiddle {
float: left;
margin-top: 25px;
background: lightgreen;
width: 40%;
height: 100%;
}
#divright {
float: right;
background: green;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
}
<div id='divleft'>left</div>
<div id='divmiddle'>middle</div>
<div id='divright'>right</div>
Here is the fiddle

You don't necessarily need height: 100% for your divs to be full height. You can achieve this layout, making the divs fully dynamic, with CSS flexbox.
All you need is display: flex on the container.
You can get rid of all float rules and don't need to use calc().
html {
background: red;
height: 100%;
}
body {
display: flex; /* NEW */
max-width: 1366px;
background: blue;
height: 100%;
}
#divleft {
background: lightblue;
width: 40%;
}
#divmiddle {
margin-top: 25px;
width: 40%;
background: lightgreen;
}
#divright {
width: 20%;
background: green;
}
<div id='divleft'>left</div>
<div id='divmiddle'>middle</div>
<div id='divright'>right</div>
revised fiddle
An initial setting of a flex container is align-items: stretch. This means that child elements of the container (aka "flex items"), will consume the free space in the cross-axis, which in this case is vertical / height.

You can use CSS calc() function, like:
#divmiddle{
margin-top: 25px;
height: calc(100% - 25px);
}
Have a look at the snippet below (let me know if this works for you):
html{
background:red;
height:100%;
}
body{
max-width:1366px;
background:blue;
height:100%;
margin: 0;
}
#divleft{
float:left;
background:lightblue;
width:40%;
height:100%;
}
#divmiddle{
float:left;
margin-top:25px;
background:lightgreen;
width:40%;
height:calc(100% - 25px);
}
#divright{
float:right;
background:green;
width:20%;
height:100%;
}
<body>
<div id='divleft'>left</div>
<div id='divmiddle'>middle</div>
<div id='divright'>right</div>
</body>
Hope this helps!

Just remove margin property from middle div..
#divmiddle{
float:left;
background:lightgreen;
width:40%;
height:100%;
}

You can simply deduct the margin percentage from the height. Instead of height: 100%, use something like width: 98%; height: 98%; margin: 1%; or width: 23%; height: 23%; margin: 1%;, etc.

Fit Div under fixed div with 100% height with no overflow

I have an easy and stupid problem. I'm trying to fit a div under another div with height:100% without producing overflow, just fitting in body's height.
Example not working: https://jsfiddle.net/L38cea2s/1/
HTML:
<div id="top"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
CSS:
html, body {
height:100%;
}
#top {
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-color:red;
}
#left {
width:70%;
height:100%;
background-color:green;
float:left;
display:block;
}
#right {
width:30%;
height:100%;
background-color:yellow;
float:right;
display:block;
position:absolute;
}
I don't know why on jsfiddle my divs are not ocuppying 100% of width's body. But as you can see on the example, there's overflow because there's another div above both divs. I don't want an overflow:hidden.
Thanks!
Edit:
I'm searching for something like this: (Any div is behind any div)
This jQuery might help
var body = $('body').height();
var top = $('#top').height();
var workoutheight = body - top;
$('#left').css('height',workoutheight);
$('#right').css('height',workoutheight);

You can use calc in your CSS as well... Example:
#left {
height: 100vh;
width: 300px;
float:left;
}
#top {
height: 45px;
width: calc(100vw - 300px); // or calc(100% - 300px)
margin: 0 0 0 300px;
}
#right {
height: calc(100vh - 45px);
width: 30%;
float: right;
}
#middle {
height: calc(100vh - 45px);
margin: 0 30% 0 300px;
}
The best is to use layering while thinking how you'll stack everything on top of each other. I've updated your jsFiddle here.

html, body {
height:100%;
margin: 0;

#top {
width:100%;
height:50px;
top: 0;
background-color:red;
position: absolute;
}
#left {
width:70%;
height:100%;
top: 0;
background-color:green;
position: absolute;
}
#right {
width:30%;
height:100%;
top: 0;
background-color:yellow;
position: absolute;
}

Footer always on bottom, 3 columns

I'm trying to figure out how to create a layout with:
- a fixed height header and not fixed
- two sidebars (one in each side)
- a column between the sidebars
- a fixed height footer sticky at the bottom of the page and that moves accordingly to the content (here is the problem, maybe)
I've seen many similar questions, but none of them seen to work with 3 columns.
I'm not sure, but I think it's something related to floating the columns of the content.
Here's the HTML code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">Header is ok</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="column-left"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="column-right"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Here's the CSS code:
html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#wrapper {
height: 100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background: green;
height: 60px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 80%;
padding-top: 60px; /* size of header */
padding-bottom: 100px; /* size of footer */
background: red;
height: 100%;
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height: 100px;
background: blue;
}
#column-left {
width: 20%;
min-height: 100%;
background: yellow;
float: left;
}
#column-right {
width: 20%;
min-height: 100%;
background: yellow;
float: left;
}
#content {
float: left;
width: 60%;
min-height: 100%;
background: pink;
}
Here's an example of what's happening when I add some content:
http://jsfiddle.net/Lzp67xyu/
See this fiddle
Change positioning of #footer to relative and add clear:both to #footer.
That is, the CSS for #footer would be like
#footer {
clear: both;
position:relative;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height: 100px;
background: blue;
}
According to the docs
The clear property specifies on which sides of an element where
floating elements are not allowed to float.
Putting a margin-bottom on the container with your columns in it will keep the space below it where the footer would be.
.columnncontainer{
width:80%;
margin-bottom:50px;
background-color:yellow;
display:inline-block;
}
Here's a JSFiddle I came up with as example:

CSS Custom div height

I have simple layout and I'm trying to expand div's height to given % so I can put later scalled background img using backgound-size.
In example I wanna have div1 expand to 69%.
Why it doesn't work and how to fix it?
Link: https://jsfiddle.net/mc6ecstr/
CSS:
body
{
color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 1080px;
}
#container
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#header
{
background-color: blue;
width: 100%;
}
#div1 {
background-color: red;
float: left;
width: 15.67%;
margin-left: 1.5%;
height: 69%; /*doesnt work*/
}
#div2 {
background-color: green;
float: right;
width: 43.17%;
margin-right: 3.6%;
}
HTML:
<body>
<div id="header">Header</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="div1">1</div>
<div id="div2">2</div>
</div>
</body>
You need to give to the body and html and to his parent (#container) height: 100%;
CSS
body, html
{
color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%; /* Add this */
}
#container
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* Add this */
}
DEMO HERE
If you know the height of #header you can use calc(...) and absolute positioning to make the container fill the remaining space:
#container
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:0px;
height:calc(100% - 20px);
}
In this example I've set the header to a fixed height of 20px, then offset container by the same amount.
Then set #div1's height accordingly to fill 69% of #container.

Make #div (%) fill out rest of wrapper div

Working on a fullpage ("locked") design.
Here's what I'm working with:
http://jsfiddle.net/5yex5nfu/
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="navigation">
Nav
</div>
<div id="main">
Main
</div>
<div id="footer">
Footer
</div>
</div>
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
#wrapper {
display: block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-top:50px;
margin-bottom:50px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-left:50px;
background-color: lightblue;
}
#navigation, #footer {
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
background: pink;
}
#main {
height: auto;
background: lightgreen;
}
I want the main div to fill out the rest of the "locked" div, with a %-value; whilst the footer and navigation hade assigned px-values.
Have seen a few solutions for my problem, but none of them seems to work. Have tried to set a %-value for every div, and it works, but as expected: The whole thing scales and messes up the layout.
For a pure css solution you can use calc to calculate the height of main
Example http://jsfiddle.net/5yex5nfu/2/
Just change #main height from auto to this
#main {
height: calc(100% - 140px);
}

You can use just css, with display:table propriety!

#wrapper {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: lightblue;
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding:50px;
}
#navigation, #footer {
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
background: pink;
display:table-row;
}
#main {
height: auto;

How to align divs next to each other?

I'm trying to set these divs to align like this:
but they end up either overlapping eachother (.title takes full width of container) or underneath eachother. Ideas?
.wrapper{
display: table;
float: left;
width: 1000px;
height: 200px;
}
.pic{
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.title{
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.content{
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.footer{
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="pic"><img src="..."></div>
<div class="title"><p>title</p></div>
<div class="content"><p>lorem ipsum</p></div>
<div class="footer"></div>
</div>
JS FIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/mmb84836/
As per the Best Practice:
Put Pic in one Box and the other three Boxes on right in one Box and use "float:left or **display:inline-block**for those.
Here is the code for the same:
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="leftBox">
<div class="pic">pic</div>
</div>
<div class="rightBox">
<div class="title">title</div>
<div class="content">content</div>
<div class="footer">footer</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
div {
border:1px solid #000;
}
.wrapper {
display: block; /*Default Property - You Can Remove Also*/
width: 1000px;
height: 200px;
}
.leftBox {
float:left;
width :20%;
height:100%
}
.rightBox {
width :79.5%;
float:left;
height:100%
}
.pic {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.title {
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.content {
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
.footer {
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
}
Here is the Working Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7xLyc3q1/
You've got a lot of answers here, but none of them explain what is actually happening here. When using float, there's something important you need to understand: floated elements are lifted out of the box model and have effectively zero width and height as far as other elements are concerned. There is a workaround for this: by specifying overflow:hidden in the parent element, floated elements will no longer "collapse".
Here's an example that demonstrates this. Notice that the title, content, and footer have a width:100%, and they're only filling the space that is remaining for them -- this is probably what you'd expect to happen. Notice also that there was no need to float them to the right... they take the space that's left.
Try adding float: right to .title, .content, and .footer.
Also it may be worth considering using Foundation or Twitter Bootstrap. Both have grid systems so this would guarantee the divs would resize to fit any size screen.
<div class="wrap">
<div class="pic">pic</div>
<div class="other">oth1</div>
<div class="other">oth2</div>
<div class="other">oth3</div>
</div>
.wrap { width:100; height:200px; }
.pic { float:left; width:29%; height:100%; margin-right:1%; background-color:red; }
.other { float:left; width:70%; height:32%; margin-bottom:0.5%; background-color:green; }
and jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/t85kz39a/
Here is one way of doing it if you can specify a width for the image. I assumed that the image would be 200px wide in this demo.
Try the following CSS:
.wrapper{
width: 600px;
height: 200px;
padding-left: 200px;
border: 1px dashed gray;
}
.pic{
float: left;
width: 190px;
margin-left: -200px;
border: 1px dashed blue;
}
.pic img {
display: block;
}
.title{
width: auto;
height: 20%;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
.content{
width: auto;
height: 20%;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
.footer{
width: auto;
height: 20%;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
The trick is to open up a space to place the image. Add a 200px wide left padding to
the .wrapper.
The padding will force .title, .content and .footer to align 200px from the edge
of the wrapper.
For .pic, set the width to 200px (or smaller) and set the left margin to -200px to move
it into the padding area.
Finally, set the correct width for .wrapper, 600px. The overall width of .wrapper
will compute to 800px (600px width + 200px left padding - -200px left margin from the
float).
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/mgg1stmc/
The main benefit of this approach is that you don't need to add any other wrapping
elements. (If you use floats, the extra wrappers are necessary.)
There's a much simpler css-only way without changing your HTML structure:
Demo http://jsfiddle.net/bfhng3a9/
All you need:
.wrapper {
overflow:auto;
text-align:center;
}
.pic {
float: left;
width:20%;
}
.title, .content, .footer {
width:80%;
float:right;
clear: right;
}
You can use this code and it is working according to your design.
