Your probably going to say this has been asked before but this is a variation with a bug. So we are all aware of the technique used to answer this question:
Fixed width div on left, fill remaining width div on right
However this does not work if the variable width element is an input tag.
http://jsfiddle.net/8pk4K/2050/
even overriding the inputs default css doesnt fix this:
display: block;
overflow:hidden;
background-color:green;
height: 100px;
width: auto;
Iv been playing with this for ages, it only happens on input tags, if you replace it with a span (default display inline but set it to display block) it still works.
Any idea why this only doesnt work for input tags and nothing else?
EDIT:
For clarification, I know that the fix for this is to put the input into a div and apply width 100% to the input. My question is why this is necessary, not how to fix it.
I know the problem, styling form elements will always be a pain in the ass.
I've came up with this work around, by wrapping the input in the right div.
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="header-right">
<input type="text" />
</div>
.header{
float:left;
background: #efefef;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 240px;
height: 100px;
}
.header-right{
overflow:hidden;
background-color:#000;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
.header-right input {
background: green;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
JSFiddle
You can use calc to produce the width what you desire because inputs are replaced elements that have intrinsic dimensions just like images
CSS
.header-right{
display: block;
overflow:hidden;
background-color:green;
height: 100px;
border: none;
width: calc(100% - 240px); //Add this
}
Note: You must give a dimension (width) to the select or otherwise give you the default browser width
DEMO HERE
Try adding width in % for both .header and .header-right.
Like
.header{
width:20%;
}
.header-right{
width:80%;
}

I want to create a div, called 'container' that contains all the other elements on the page.
If I change the size the elements move and rearrange, -BUT- the div itself remains invisible! Using the Firefox inspector, it seems the div is -above- the page.
It seems very weird to me, as the divs are all properly nested and otherwise behave well.
My only guess is that this bit is causing some trouble; if i change the width, my layout goes crazy.
#upper {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 40%;
}
#lower {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 40%;
}
However I cannot quite pin down what is causing the issue. Any idea?
Here is my code: https://jsfiddle.net/xtaLfuLa/
I would just add display:inline-block; into container class.
#container {
width: 80%;
height: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: rgb(163, 43, 43);
border-radius: 20px;
background: red;
display:inline-block;
}
This is happening because you're floating #upper and #lower to the left. You'll need to clear the float on the parent container. This is often done using a clearfix class. Add the following class to your parent container.
.clearfix {
overflow: auto;
zoom: 1;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/xtaLfuLa/3/

Not clear what you are looking for(share image layout) but you need to write the code for responsive layout. Make it
#results{
margin-left:0;
}
for smaller device and add it for larger device with media query..
I have this example for the very known fill-parent height problem: http://fiddle.jshell.net/y9bM4/379/ I've really tried to find a solution by googling but I cannot find anything for these requirements:
The height of the element is not known, neither by percentage nor by absolute size. So position: absolute; top: ?px; bottom: 0px would not work
The upper box should only take up the space it needs for its content, so with my little knowledge about flexbox, it seems that I cannot use it either (just used it in the example because this is kind of as closest as I got)
The outer container has a fixed height (90% of the body in this example)
It would be nice if flex: 1 in each container, is kind of the maximum growth of the upper container. Is this even possible with css yet?
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but I'm assmuning you would like the second container to use whatever space is left over after the first container is sized to its content.
If so, set the .content class with height:0 and flex-grow:1
UPDATED EXAMPLE:
http://fiddle.jshell.net/y9bM4/385/
I think problem was that you gave the container id height:90%; so it will have to forcefully cover inside it, which is not posibble, So change it with height:auto;.
This will solve your problem
JSFiddle : Updated
CSS : Code to change (Edited)
#container
{
display: block;
position: fixed;
height: 90%;
width:100%;
overflow: hidden;
background: #fff;
border:2px solid green;
}
.content:nth-child(2)
{
position: relative;
display: block;
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
.content{
border:1px solid red
};
.text
{
height: 100%;
display: block;
}
Please look at the following: http://jsfiddle.net/ran5000/uZ7dD/
the header div has a fixed height of 40px, I want that the content div will use the remaining height of the screen without scroll and regardless of the screen height.
any ideas?
I generally use position:absolute for this, and then set the top value to start at the bottom of the header.
http://jsfiddle.net/uZ7dD/4/
.content {
background-color: yellow;
position:absolute;
top:40px; bottom:0; left:0; right:0;
}
Do you mean like that?
If so, I've used
position: fixed;
property in CSS.
I'm not sure what the browser support is like for the calc CSS feature, but this would be a good case for it. You can read about it here. You would need to change the height of the content div to height: calc(100% - 40px). This, of course doesn't take into account any space taken up by margin, padding, or border so it will still overflow a bit. If you make sure your divs don't have any of those it works perfectly. Here is my JSFiddle for it.
You can also use position: absolute and set the top value to 40px and the bottom to 0px but your parent element needs to have position: relative set.
Alternatively, you can use JavaScript/jQuery to calculate the required height of the content div and apply it.
For css3 browsers just use:
.content {
width: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
height: -moz-calc(100% - 40px);
height: -webkit-calc(100% - 40px);
height: -o-calc(100% - 40px);
height: calc(100% - 40px);
}
for non-css3 browsers use this workaround,
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="header">i am the header</div>i am the <content></content>
</div>
CSS
.header {
width: 100%;
height 40px;
line-height: 40px;
background-color: blue;
}
.container{
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
Hope I could help :)
In this case, the properties of table elements have some advantage in the fact that they have a lot of positioning power. In this case specifically, table rows and cells will always adjust to fill the table container.
Obviously, you don't want to be using actual table html elements, as that would not be semantic, which is where css comes into the game:
If you put a container/wrapper element around both your header and content, and then set it to be display: table; with 100% height and width it will act as the base table element.
Setting your header and content to display: table-row; will now associate them with that container and allow everything to share the table properties. Setting a fixed height on one will still work, and the other will simply fill the remaining space.
<div class="container">
<div class="header">i am the header</div>
<div class="content">i am the <content></content></div>
</div>
And the css:
.container { display: table; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
.header, .content { display: table-row; }
This approach also has the benefit of being well supported across browsers.
I am trying to design a website, where I want a div of 100% height inside a element and then some other div inside it, formatted in a specified manner.
the code I am trying is this
css
#main1{
margin: 0 auto;
width:300px;
background: red;
position:absolute;
}
#content1{
top:0;
width: 300px;
height: 250px;
background: gray;
}
#content2{
width: 300px;
height: 250px;
background: yellow;
}
#content3{
width: 300px;
height: 250px;
background: brown;
}
#bottom{
width: 300px;
height: 75px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
background: blue;
}
and I have designed it like this
<td width="300" valign="top" style="position:relative; height:100%">
<div id="main1">
<div id="content1">/*****Content1****/</div>
<div id="content2">/*****Content2****/</div>
<div id="content3">/*****Content3****/</div>
<div id="bottom">/*****Content4****/</div>
</div>
</td>
I want the div with id content1 at extreme top and with id bottom at extreme bottom inside td, so that if the height of the element varies it automatically get aligned at top and at bottom with margins in between the inner divs, also I want this to be all browsers compatible.
I tried and it worked in IE.
I have tried so many codes but couldn't get the solution
You can see in this link at right side that where and what I am trying to make

First, I'd ask that you display the whole of the HTML markup for the body structure. A small snippet doesn't give an accurate picture of the entire structure that could be affecting your undesired result.
Second, I'd recommend you don't use tables for site layout. It's bad practice for a variety of reasons. Here's a Q/A with supporting arguments.
Third, you have to remember that every element that you make has a parent, right up until the <html> tag. So, let's say I wanted the main container of my site to have 100% height to the window.
Let's say this is the only other element besides <html> or `'.
<div id="container">
<h1>Why you no touch the bottom?</h1>
</div>
with this CSS:
#container {
background: #ccc;
height: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/BvNY4/
In this fiddle, we can see it doesn't to to 100% height. Why? Well...technically, it is...but it's parent isn't. So like a brave Tee-Ball coach, we need to tell this element's parents what to do:
html, body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/B6RH7/1/
Ta-da! Let me know if you need anymore clarification on how this applies to your scenario. :)
A little more directed at your specific goals, try this article explaining position: relative; for parent elements. If the parent element has attribute position: relative;, any child elements with position: absolute; will position themselves to the parent element.
I have a wrapper that contains all the elements of an html page.
#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
margin: auto;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#4488ff), to(#4422ff));
[...]
background-attachment: fixed;
-moz-border-radius:20px;
-webkit-border-radius:20px;
border-radius:20px;
}
Here's the HTML code sample
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="uppermenu">
<div id="container">
<div id="logo"> <img src="images/logo.png" height="100%"> </div>
<div id="banner"> <br></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sidemenu"> [...] </div>
<div id="guide"> [...] </div>
</div>
I want this wrapper to change its height depending on the content it has to contain, but as I do this is not happening.
If I try to use
overflow: hidden;
the wrapper is shifted down by the uppermenu div (which it should be containing) and using
clear: both;
at the end of the contents doesn't change anything.
I've tried at least 5 different question answered correctly here but none worked well for me.
Last thing: the wrapper set as I wrote (with min-height at 100%) fits perfectly the screen of my browser, but that clearly not what I want it to look!
Any help???
EDIT: here's the CSS of sidemenu class
.sidemenu {
float: left;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
height: 200px;
width: 150px;
background-color: #4488ff;
-moz-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
border-radius:10px;
z-index: 3;
}
and of the guide id
#guide {
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 50px;
height: 100%;
width: 760px;
background-color: #4488ff;
-moz-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
border-radius:10px;
z-index: 3;
}
uppermenu and container
#uppermenu {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
width: 1000px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
background: #004465;
z-index: 5;
}
#container {
width: 1000px;
min-height: 100%;
margin: auto;
}
Solution one: clear: both
Adding a block element with the style clear:both; onto it will clear the floats past that point and stop the parent of that element from collapsing. http://jsfiddle.net/TVD2X/1/
Pros: Allows you to clear an element and elements you add below will not be effected by the floated elements above and valid css.
Cons: Requires the another tag to clear the floats, bloating markup.
Note: To fall back to IE6 and for it to work on abstinent parents (i.e. the input element) you are not able to use :after.
Solution two: display: table
Adding display:table; to the parent to make it shrug off the floats and display with the correct height. http://jsfiddle.net/h9GAZ/1/
Pros: No extra markup and is a lot neater. Works in IE6+
Cons: Requires invalid css to make sure everything plays nice in IE6 and 7.
Note: The IE6 and 7 width auto is used to prevent the width being 100%+padding, which is not the case in newer browsers.
A note on the other "solutions"
These fixes work back to the lowest supported browser, over 1% usage globally (IE6), which means using :after does not cut it.
Overflow hidden does show the content but does not prevent the element from collapsing and so does not answer the question. Using an inline block can have buggy results, children having strange margins and so on, table is much better.
Setting the height does "prevent" the collapse but it is not a proper fix.
Invalid css
Invalid css never hurt anyone, in fact, it is now the norm. Using browser prefixes is just as invalid as using browser specific hacks and doesn't impact the end user what so ever.
In conclusion
I use both of the above solutions to make elements react correctly and play nicely with each other, I implore you to do the same.
get rid of min-height: 100%. this means that the minimum height of the div is 100% of your browser height. eliminating this should make it fit to the content
