I'd like to make my table go full width (prior to my table my content is restricted next to three blocks which I'm cool with).
The table appears after the words "A selection of awards won:"
You can see the page - here
Would this be possible with inline css?
Thanks,
Sam
The best solution is removing your table from the:
<div id="right">
And creating a new div bottom or something with 100% width under the div right/ div left.
<div id="bottom" style="width: 100%"><table>
This should fix your problem,
You can't go full width because your container .sub-content is not full width...
If you want to go full width you will have to put your table in another container that is at the same level as the .left and .right container but with full width.
Something like :
<div id="content-sub">
<div id="left">...</div>
<div id="right">...</div>
<div id="bottom">
<!-- Your table goes here -->
</div>
</div>
with :
#bottom{
display: block;
width:100%;
}
Simply copy your your table code out and place it just above this code
<br clear="all" />
<div id="footers">

I'm trying to have 2 divs fill the screen, one being at the bottom of the page and one being the "main" content area.
I've created a jsfiddle to demonstrate what I need: https://jsfiddle.net/zmnogytL/1/
The HTML looks like this:
<div id="parent">
<div class="messages">
<span id="jstext"></span>
</div>
<div class="input-area"></div>
</div>
The main div (the gray one) shouldn't expand when the content exceeds its height, but instead have a scrollbar within it.
The lower div(blue) should always stay in the same spot.
After countless hours I'm still not getting it to work the way I want to.
Thanks in advance!
Try it:
.messages{
overflow:scroll;
max-height: calc(100% - 100px);
}
I'm trying to understand how to put two div's next to eachother inside a wrapper and have them both column div's to match heights at all times, even if one has more content than the other, all without applying a strict height to the column. I've tried using height:100% and doesn't seem to work, here is the code/fiddle to show what I mean. Does anyone know what I am talking about and how to get this working?
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left"><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/Sv4BC.png"/></div>
<div class="right">
<div class="stretch">
stretch to height: 100%
</div>
</div>
<div class="fix"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper{background:#eee;padding:10px;}
.stretch{height:100%;}
.left,.right{float:left;padding:5px;background:#FFF;}
.fix{clear:both;}
.left img{width:200px;}
Fiddle: (The two columns should be identical)
https://jsfiddle.net/19zsdswt/1/
I think the problem is with trying to add a height: 100% to a div that is floated.
You could try using a table, table cell relationship, like this:
.wrapper{display: table; background:#eee;padding:10px;}
.stretch{height:100%;}
.left,.right{display: table-cell; padding:5px;background:#FFF;}
/* .fix{clear:both;} */
.left img{width:200px;}
I have updated your fiddle here - https://jsfiddle.net/sfyt9skx/
I don't know much about html or css but I have done this much;
I want to stack divs so it looks like this (please excuse the bad drawing) ;
I have googled how to and tried different thing but the likes/dislikes boxes always end up not moving or move to the very left/very right.
<div style="float:left;width:300px;height:350px;text-align:center;">
<div style="float:left;width:500px;height:200px;text-align:center;">
<div id="wrapper">
<div style="align=center;">
<div id="first">1</div>
<div id="second">2</div>
These are th three divs I have.
First one has links [the add/message etc]
Second one has "thelastgecko" and profile text.
And I am trying to use the last box for likes/dislikes but whatever im doing it isn't working.
You usually use one "huge" div, set it below 1024 pixels wide so old screens can view it and then you usually center it in the middle of the screen. Then inside of that big div you put the "add me - message me - gallery" with a "float:left" or "position:absolute" I prefer the latter. then you make another div containing the "The last gecko" + dislikes & likes and center that div, then after that I would make another div and either do a "float:right" or a "position:absolute; left:'huge width minus this ones width".
I did write everything in text and readable since giving the code away doesn't teach as well.
But in case you still didn't get it, here's my idea:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{margin:0px;padding:0px;width:100%;height:100%;}
#container{width:900px;margin:auto;margin-top:200px;}
#add_me,#dislike_text{position:absolute;width:200px;background-color:#ace;}
#last_gecko,#holder{margin:auto;width:500px;background-color:#eca;}
#likes,#dislikes{float:left;width:250px;display:block;background-color:#cae;}
#dislikes{background-color:#cea;}
#dislike_text{margin-left:700px;background-color:#eac;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="add_me">add me<br>message me<br>wuts going on</div>
<div id="dislike_text">dislike text</div>
<div id="last_gecko">
Last Gecko
<div id="holder">
<div id="dislikes">dislikes</div>
<div id="likes">likes</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Made it workable, it will at least show you in what direction to move, It might not be the best way but it is my way.
You could do something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/jAKgd/
CSS
#wrapper {
width: 800px;
}
#leftColumn {
float: left;
height: 800px;
width: 200px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#leftColumn a {
display: block;
}
#rightColumn {
width: 100%;
}
#contentDislike,
#contentLike {
display: inline-block;
width: 250px;
}
Obviously the height/widths can be changed to meet your needs. I was just doing a quick example.
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftColumn"> Link
Link
Link
Link
Link
</div>
<div id="rightColumn">
<div id="contentTop">
<img src="/images/image_name.jpg" alt="image text here" />
<p>THIS IS WHERE YOUR PROFILE TEXT WOULD SHOW. IT CAN EXPAND HEIGHT AS NEEDED.</p>
</div>
<div>
<div id="contentDislike">DISLIKE CONTENT HERE</div>
<div id="contentLike">LIKE CONTENT HERE</div>
</div>
<div>YOUR LOWER TWO COLUMNS WILL GO IN THIS DIV</div>
</div>
</div>
It's a bad way of design to use floats to place divs at some place.
It's a much better way to use, for example, a flex layout.
But this is not supported by all browsers (But nearly. If you can, take this option).
Another solution is this one:
Use the width option. You set the width of any div of your html to a fixed number, in percent, of course. Watch this example
But if you do this, you will have to pay attention for very large and very little screens, I think you would have to write alternative css style sheets which are working with (max-width) and (min-width).
And there is another solution: the gridlayout. It is part of the standards since 2013 (I think) but it's not well supported yet. But maybe in future.
Hope I could help
I always seems to get this simple HTML stuff wrong. I am currently trying to add side by side divs in the middle of a page on this test page I made:
http://www.comehike.com/hiking_dev.php
The code I added was something like this:
<div style="width: 460px; float: left; ">
<strong>Test hello</strong>
</div>
<div style="width: 300px; float: right; ">
<strong>Test hello 2</strong>
</div>
I added <strong> tags so you can spot it on the page better.
But do you see there is text that appears there that reads like this "When considering the injury risk of any" - but that text is in the <p> tag below. Why is it appearing there?
Is it better practice to wrap my 2 divs that I am trying to align, within another div?
After your two floating divs, add another empty div...
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
This will cause the two floating divs to push all subsequent content below them. As you have it now, there is 200 pixels of empty space after the first div allowing the other content to simply wrap around it.
Increasing the width of the floating divs may not be desirable for your layout so clear:both; is most typical for this situation.
Surround those two divs in a parent div with overflow set to hidden.
<div style="overflow:hidden;">
<div style="width: 460px; float: left; ">
<strong>Test hello</strong>
</div>
<div style="width: 300px; float: right; ">
<strong>Test hello 2</strong>
</div>
</div>
An alternative (as others have pointed out) is to use a third element:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
It's debatable as to which is better. Usually, either is just fine. Here's a post about the topic:
Floated Child Elements: overflow:hidden or clear:both?
You'll either need to add a div below your two divs with clear:both; as others have suggested, or you could add clear:both; to the following <p> element.
Because you have an entire page width of 960px. You're combined div widths are 760px (400+300). If you add 200px to the second div you should be fine.
Edit: Because of padding, you can increase either of the divs by 150px and be fine.
I'm helpless, tried my best understanding CSS but it's just not for me.
I would like to make a really simple MasterPage:
at the top a div of full width and height 40px (1)
at the bottom also a div of full width and height 40px (2)
in the middle:
on the left: a div of width 200 px (3)
on the right side of the left div: a div with contentPlaceHolder (4)
What I would like to get is: if i make some site that uses my master page and place a panel in the contentPlaceHolder that has width 800px, I would like my site to adjust to it - top, middle and bottom divs to have their width of 1000px (200 + 800). I also wouldn't like (and I have a huge problem with that) the (4) to move down if I resize (shrink) the browser window - I would like all the divs to be blocked.
This is my master page html:
<div>
<div class="header">
</div>
<div>
<div class="links">
</div>
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div>
What kind of CSS do I have to write to make this finally work?
Not sure if you have checked into this or not, but we use the YUI-Grids CSS Framework for our layouts. It keeps us from having to spend a lot of time on CSS, which we are not great at being developers.
There is even a grid builder which will let you graphically layout a page, and then copy and paste the required HTML to make it happen :)
To prevent floated divs from being "squeezed" out of the alignment you want, you usually use either width or min-width.
For example, in this code the div containing the links and content will never be smaller than 1000 pixels. If the screen is smaller than 1000 pixels, a scrollbar is displayed.
<div style="min-width: 1000px">
<div class="links"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
You could also use width instead of min-width:
<div style="width: 1000px">
<div class="links"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
The difference between the two is simple: if you specify min-width, the div CAN grow to be larger if it needs to. If you specify width, the div will be exactly the size you specified.
Be aware that min-width is not supported by IE6.
Here's a quick stab at specific CSS/Markup for this problem.
Markup:
<!-- Header, etc. -->
<div class="contentView">
<div class="links">
</div>
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<!-- Footer, etc. -->
CSS:
.contentView {
/* Causes absolutely positioned children to be positioned relative to this object */
position: relative;
}
.links {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
}
.content {
padding-left: 200px;
}
You might want your footer to be "sticky." Check here for information on that: http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
How appropriate this is depends on precisely what the design calls for. This makes the links section more of a floating box on the left than a column for example.
This ends up looking like this (.content is green, .links is red):
