I think the two states shown in the image are self-explanatory. The red lines have the same height, the blue bars have the same dimensions.
How can I achieve this layout? My attempt so far (may be used for testing): http://jsfiddle.net/n6zYE/
The doctype is <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> but could be changed to <!DOCTYPE html>.
The problem is, that I see no way to keep the red line the same height when the content gets bigger while still having no scrollbar when the content is small enough.
The restrictions are only, that I do not want to use anything that is supported by less than 90% of the users. For example box-sizing luckily is supported by ~93% of the users.
EDIT: I need a box-shadow on the black area, so overlays will not solve the problem. But besides this, Nulen made a working example (http://jsfiddle.net/n6zYE/2/) of how it shall behave.
You can do it dirty way with black divs as black margins with content like this:
#content {
min-height: 100%;
background: grey;
color: white;
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 20px 0 70px 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/n6zYE/2/
modify height of #inside div to test for different content.
EDIT: done with calc():
http://jsfiddle.net/n6zYE/9/
EDIT: done with overflow: auto;:
http://jsfiddle.net/n6zYE/10/
(note: this does not work entirely for my IE11) //nulen
I'm not 100% sure if this is what you require but give this a try
#foot { position:fixed;left:100px;}
#content {height:500px;overflow:hidden;
You will need to put position:relative around the containing div and also change the height accordingly on content div.
Typically you would wrap the actual content in a container that is set up to scroll. That way you can control the wrapper's height, and its content will scroll within it.
<div id="#bodyContent">
<div id="#wrapperThatScrolls" style="overflow-y:auto" >
<p>Content</p>
</div>
// Your red margin would appear here
</div>
Solution, using display: table, display: table-row and display: table-cell:
html { height: 100%; }
body {
background: green;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#inside {
border: 2px solid white;
height: 200px;
}
#topcontentrow, #bottomcontentrow {
display: table-row;
height: 20px;
}
#contentrow {
display: table-row;
background: grey;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px 0px #000;
}
#content {
display: table-cell;
padding-bottom: 40px;
color: white;
}
#contenttable {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#foot {
height: 40px;
position: relative;
margin: -60px auto 0;
background: blue;
width: 500px;
}
<div id="contenttable">
<div id="topcontentrow"></div>
<div id="contentrow">
<div id="content">
<div id="inside">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="bottomcontentrow"></div>
</div>
<div id="foot">
</div>
Tested and working in FF 31.0 and IE 11
The display: table is supported widely.

Here is a simple block of code:
<style type="text/css">
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
.child {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
}
</style>
<center>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</center>
But, the results are different when viewed in different screen widths.
Here, the child div completely fits the parent div at a certain screen width.
But here, when at a different screen width, a white space of about 1px appears on both the sides of the child div.
How can I get rid of this white space and make sure that the child div completely fits the parent div?
The issue lies with the border you've used and the way browsers handle this. Setting the box-sizing to border-box solves this issue. It's a common one but once you know it you'll be able to better spot it.
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.child {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
margin: 0;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
Also, you don't need to define text/css in your tags these days, browsers know what the code is. Also try not to use it inline unless it was just for this question. Similarly, the <center> tag has been depreciated which means it's no longer supported in HTML 5 so you should center things using margin or flex. Margin is the easiest so that's why I've added that here.
Sometimes browsers will treat things differently in quirks mode too, so make sure you have a doctype declaration.
This is because you are using Chrome browser.
I have the same behavior with the very simple code:
<div class="container">
<div class="item-a">item A</div>
</div>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
.container {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
border: 5px solid black;
background-color: cornflowerblue;
}
.item-a {
width: 300px;
height: 140px;
background-color: orange;
border: 3px solid crimson;
}
At 100% zoom it has a gap. When I zoom, the gap disappears, but when I zoom again - the gap between container and item-a may or may not show up again (you can notice cornflower background of 1px between a parent and child borders).
This is how Google Chrome handles things in both Linux and Windows 11 at the moment.
Then I gave a shot to view the same code via Firefox and there is no gap regardless of zooming.
Contrary to the many answers suggesting to set box-sizing: border-box, I used content-box instead and it fixed my issue: box-sizing: content-box
Try set child with the same width: 75vw;
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
.child {
width: 75vw;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
}
<center>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</center>
In code below I have set the width of page to 980px and there appears some whitespace at right side, which disappears on setting body width to 1050px. My screen resolution is 1366x768, I have read that most websites have 950px to 980px width and most websites like facebook entirely fit into my screen then why my 980px is having whitspace at right side.
body {
width: 980px;
overflow: scroll;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
.one {
height: 200px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 25%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.two {
height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid blue;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 50%;
}
.three {
height: 200px;
float: right;
border: 1px solid green;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 25%;
}
<div id="container">
<div class="one">this is first block
</div>
<div class="two">the content changes it's position on zooming in
</div>
<div class="three">Is there any way to keep it as it is with a scroll bar
</div>
</div>
Have you tried setting the margin of html or body to 0?
Like:
html, body {
margin: 0;
}
JSFiddle
EDIT: The white space is a margin that is set as default for html, so if you want your page to be "borderless", you simply need to set the margin of html (and to be safe that of body, you never now what different browsers will do) to 0.
try unsetting width see what happens. I don't set page width on anypage I make and It works fine. now If I have a box a table a shadowbox ect ill set dimensions for that but I dont ever designate a page width. Maybe just comment it out refresh see what happen.
Here is a simple piece of code, resulting in blue span element overflowing out of yellow and black box.
I know, I can use overflow property to hide/scroll it, but I rather need to resize the #inner and #outer containers to cover it (so that scrollbar would rather be on whole page instead of in the containing div). Is there any way?
The content ( = width) of "blue span" is dynamicly generated from application?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<style type="text/css">
#outer {background: black; width: 300px; margin: 10px auto; padding: 20px; }
#inner {background: yellow; min-width: 200px; height: 200px; }
#inner span { background: blue; display: block; width: 400px; }
</style>
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
<span> </span>
</div>
</div>
</html>
If you want the two outer boxes to resize dynamically based on the content thats inserted in the span, you will have to reconsider your approach. All boxes that scale dynamically cannot have a width defined, so they cannot be centred using the margin: auto. However, it is possible to achieve the same effect by wrapping the whole thing into another box that covers the full width of the page, text-align centring that box and then making the outer box displayed inline-block. This is the code that works. Now you can add a min-width to the content box if you want and it will scale nicely. Heres some code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#outer {
display: inline-block;
background: black;
margin: 10px 0;
padding: 20px;
}
#inner {
background: yellow;
height: 200px;
}
#inner span {
background: blue;
display: block;
}
</style>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
<span> </span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</html>
I think so you can add % units for your divisions to make it as perfect
Here is the CSS
#outer {background: black; width: 300px; margin: 10px auto; padding: 20px; }
#inner {background: yellow; min-width: 200px; height: 200px; }
#inner span { background: blue; display: block; }
Here is the fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/mohamedmusthafac/n6CEx/
I think so this is what you are expecting for??
What I am looking to achieve is all the three below
pushing the footer to the bottom of the page
also making the main div stay full sized all the time with the child divs
all the child div's remain same height
I tried so many ways to do it and I found a way. But what ever I have done is not compatible with Firefox, Safari and IE7 and below, Please help me, I am looking for something that works on all browsers and Pure CSS.
Thanks a lot friends.

I appreciate your help and suggestions friends. thanks in advance..
Change height of the left and right side div should be same...ex:200px.
and use fixed bottom property for footer.
I have a problem with my pixel calculations not adding up.
I have a main div (#page) that is: 980px wide
It has a child div (#content) that is also: 980px wide
Inside the div (#content) there are two divs (#left-pane), which is 300px wide and (#right-pane), which is 676 px wide.
Both of them have a 1px border all the way around - looking across the site horizontally this should give 4px in width.
Therefore,
300px + 676px + 4px = 980px
Despite this, my div (#right-pane) moves down below the div (#left-pane). Why?
I have padding and margin set to NONE on both of them.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but add this and see if it works.

What browser are you using to test your site?
I tossed up your code on a fiddle, and it appears just fine in my Firefox, which suggests that you're probably looking at it in IE, and possibly either in a non-standards mode, or an old version.
If that's the case, then it's due to how IE (namely, old versions), handle the box model and math. To IE, 300px + 676px + 4px > 980px . The easiest way to fix this is to reduce something that affects the width by 1-2px, and it will probably fix it.
To consider a width of a div, there are 4 comoponents you should think about
The width of the div itself (this is where your text will be for example)
The padding width (surrounding the width mentioned in point 1 above)
The width of your border (surrounding the padding)
The margin (surrounding the border)
So, if you search for CSS Box Model (some examples are here http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html and here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp), you will be able to see the box model that will help you with that. Also using jQuery you can retrieve the width of each section using the following methods: .width(), .innerWidth(), and .outerWidth(). Note you may need to do some calculations to finds border width, padding width, or margin width.
Read CSS documentation and jQuery documentation to have a clearer idea of how those work. Sometimes you may need to utilize jQuery to make the width calculations for you properly if you need some exact values with variable width objects.
