I have a parent container that has two children sections. http://jsfiddle.net/J9e2X/21/
I would like the parent container to have a max width, and the first child section (variable width content) to have a max-width that overflow-x: scroll when the content is greater than the max-width.
I would like the second child section to cover the width of the parent container - the width of the first child section, and overflow-x: scroll when the second child section content width + the first section section width is greater than the parent container max-width.
Here's the HTML:
<div class="page-container">
<div class="container">
<div class="section1"><div class="content1">element1</div></div>
<div class="section2">
<div class="content2">
<input type="text" class="formFormat" value="element2.1 element2.2" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And some attempted CSS (right now, the second child section breaks the line when the width of the first child content pushes the second child section too far, and it also doesn't cover the width of the parent container minus the width of the first section, + overflow-x):
.container {
width: 72%;
max-width: 72%;
float: left;
border: 1px solid rgba(145, 145, 145, 0.7);
}
.section1 {
float: left;
width: auto;
overflow-x: scroll;
max-width: 33%;
height: 31px;
display: table;
border: 1px solid rgba(145, 145, 145, 0.7);
}
.content1 {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-left: 8px;
padding-right: 4px;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
.section2 {
float: left;
width: auto;
height: 31px;
overflow-x: scroll;
padding: 2.5%;
line-height: 1.42;
border: 1px solid rgba(145, 145, 145, 0.7);
}
.content2 {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-left: 2%;
padding-right: 2%;
float: left;
}
.page-container {
height: 50%;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 5%;
}
.formFormat {
width: 100%;
border: none;
border-radius: 0px;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
}

I have a textarea inside a div, and I wish for the text area height to match the height of the div container.
Currently, the width fits perfectly, however the textbox (which begins empty) only fills about 20% of the div height.
And when an ajax call grabs some text and populates the textarea, the textarea height remains at about 20% of the div and provides a scroll bar.
How can I alter my CSS to ensure that the textarea height always matches the height of its div container?
#answerBox {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 5px auto;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
#answerBoxDiv {
width: 90%;
min-height: 50%;
margin: 5px auto;
border: 4px solid #00bfb6;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
<div id="answerBoxDiv">
<textarea id="answerBox"></textarea>
</div>
You need to explicitly set a height of the parent container (whether that is in px or rem etc) - that way the height: 100% of the textarea will fill to the container.
The expand on text content cannot be done with simple css - you need js to determine the heaight of the content and adjust the parent container accordingly.
The only way tyou can keep height: 100% on the parent container is its ancestor has a height set (eg 100vh) - that way the browser can determine the height of each DOM element and size the text area accrodingly.
UPDATE - I have added a js function to automatiucally increae the height of the parent container on the input. (the textarea autoincreases in height since it is 100% of the parentThis will need massaging - but when you type into the textarea the height will auto expand.
function setHeight(element) {
const container = document.getElementById("answerBoxDiv");
const height = element.scrollHeight;
if(height > 100) {
container.style.height = (element.scrollHeight)+"px";
}
}
#answerBoxDiv {
width: 90%;
height: 100px; **// this is needed - but can be in px / rem / vh or other but NOT % unless its parent has its height set.**
margin: 5px auto;
border: 4px solid #00bfb6;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
#answerBox {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
resize: vertical;
overflow: hidden
}
<div id="answerBoxDiv">
<textarea id="answerBox" oninput="setHeight(this)"></textarea>
</div>
You can use the CSS height: 100%; property on the textarea element to make it fill the entire height of its parent container, the #answerBoxDiv. Additionally, you can remove the min-height property from the #answerBoxDiv to make sure the container's height is always equal to the height of its content.
Here's the updated CSS:
#answerBox {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;/*keep it zero*/
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
#answerBoxDiv {
width: 90%;
margin: 5px auto;
border: 4px solid #00bfb6;
padding: 0px;/*keep it zero*/
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
And the updated HTML:
<div id="answerBoxDiv">
<textarea id="answerBox"></textarea>
</div>
Percentage height does not work with a min-height parent, you would either need to give your parent a height or you could use flex:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#answerBox {
flex-grow:1;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 5px auto;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
#answerBoxDiv {
width: 90%;
min-height: 50%;
margin: 5px auto;
border: 4px solid #00bfb6;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
<div id="answerBoxDiv">
<textarea id="answerBox"></textarea>
</div>
You can try this
#answerBox {
height: 100%;
resize: none;
}
try keeping the min-height of the textarea as 100% or nearby or try using
object-fit: contain(or cover) on your text area
Give specific height for #answerBoxDiv parent div. So you will get appropriate height for this div.
<div class="parent-div" style="height: 100%;">
<div id="answerBoxDiv">
<textarea id="answerBox"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
#answerBox {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: left;
resize: none;
border: none;
}
#answerBoxDiv {
width: 90%;
min-height: 50%;
margin: 5px auto;
border: 4px solid #00bfb6;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
I have an div container namend "content". This container got a width of 500px;.
Inside this div are two other divs. One div is called "right", with fixed width of 300px;. The other container ("left") should fill the rest width. Now I can give him a width of 200px, but when I resize the window the width does not change of the "left" container. I want that only the width of the second container "left" change, maybe with a % width?
And when I resize the window it should look like this:
Here is the code:
*{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.content{
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
}
.left{
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right{
float: right;
width: 50%;
height: 20px;
background-color: red;
}
.clearBoth{
clear: both;
}
<div class="content">
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
<div class="clearBoth"></div>
</div>
JFiddle
You should Change Left Width size To 60%
.left{float: left;width: 60%;height: 20px;background-color: blue;}
.right{float: right; width: 40%;height: 20px; background-color: red;}
I think, this will be the best answer for you. please check the given below code snippet.
*{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.content{
width: 100%;
}
.left{
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right{
float: right;
width: calc(100% - 300px);width: -webkit-calc(100% - 300px);width: -moz-calc(100% - 300px);
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
.clearBoth{
clear: both;
}
<div class="content">
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
<div class="clearBoth"></div>
</div>
You want something like this ? You have to resize the window to see the change.
I use calc() function in CSS :
.right{
float: left;
width: calc(100% - 310px);
height: 20px;
margin-left: 10px;
background-color: red;
}
I also use a fluid width for the main container.
See this fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/7XD8s/300/
.left {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right {
display: block;
margin-left: 300px;
height: 20px;
background-color: red;
}
No need of calc
http://jsfiddle.net/7XD8s/303/
*{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.content{
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
}
.left{
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 20px;
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right{
overflow: hidden;
height: 20px;
background-color: red;
}
.clearBoth{
clear: both;
}
Following code will keep the width of right container fixed at 300px. Left container will occupy rest of the space with 10px margin on its right side.
Please note, total width of content container is 500px.
*{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.content{
border: 1px solid black;
width: 500px;
padding: 5px;
}
.left{
float: left;
width: calc(100% - 310px);
height: 20px;
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right{
float: right;
margin: 0px;
width: 300px;
height: 20px;
background-color: red;
}
.clearBoth{
clear: both;
}
I have a main div with the class of .features, inside this div I have two boxes each one with a height set to 160px and different widths. There's a myterious padding between the end of the two boxes and the main div as seen in the screenshot below:
The padding is about 5px - I would like to remove this padding if possible. I tried adding margin: 0; and padding: 0; to the main div as well as to the two inner boxes but it didn't work.
Here is the html for this section of the page:
<div class="features">
<div class="list-items"></div>
<div class="screenshot-box"></div>
</div>
The css:
.features {
width: 980px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 25px;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.list-items {
width: 280px;
height: 160px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
.screenshot-box {
width: 583px;
height: 160px;
float: right;
padding-bottom: 0;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
This actually has nothing to do with padding or margin. If we look at the computed style example, we'll see that the height of the element itself is 164px:
This is happening because your inner elements are set to display as inline-block. This means they're affected by font-size, and ultimately the font-size is causing the height of the parent element to be greater than the height of the inner elements.
There are two fixes:
Specify a font-size of 0 on your .features element, and then reset this within the inner elements (by giving them a font-size of 16, or whichever your default size is).
.features {
width: 980px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 25px;
background-color: lightblue;
font-size: 0;
}
.list-items {
width: 280px;
height: 160px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
font-size: 16px;
}
.screenshot-box {
width: 583px;
height: 160px;
float: right;
padding-bottom: 0;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
font-size: 16px;
}
<div class="features">
<div class="list-items"></div>
<div class="screenshot-box"></div>
</div>
Give your .features element a height of 160px itself to match its children. With this the browser doesn't have to calculate what the height should be itself.
.features {
width: 980px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 25px;
background-color: lightblue;
height: 160px;
}
.list-items {
width: 280px;
height: 160px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
.screenshot-box {
width: 583px;
height: 160px;
float: right;
padding-bottom: 0;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
<div class="features">
<div class="list-items"></div>
<div class="screenshot-box"></div>
</div>
Just make font-size as 0 for .features, and it will take full width. Here is your fiddle.
.features {
width: 980px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 25px;
background-color: lightblue;
font-size: 0;
/*Just make font size as 0*/
}
.list-items {
width: 280px;
height: 160px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
.screenshot-box {
width: 583px;
height: 160px;
float: right;
padding-bottom: 0;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
<div class="features">
<div class="list-items"></div>
<div class="screenshot-box"></div>
</div>
You could also just ditch the display: inline-block on both child elements and set float: left on .list-items and display: table on .features (code example). Added benefit that without hardcoded parent div height, the parent div will expand to fit child content.
#james donnelly has already given you an accurate and concise explanation to the cause.
I am trying to align these blocks so they are expandable, but also inline. But I can't seem to get them to maintain their own space correctly. The layout I am going for is as follows
Where box 2, and 3 are auto expanding to fill in space on whatever resolution is viewing.

Here are three techniques
"Show code snippet" and run to see the complete example.
#1 - display: inline-block and calc
Compatibility: IE 9 + and all modern browsers. There are workarounds to get this working with IE8+ if needed.
The margins and fixed column are removed from the percentage calculation with width: calc(50% - 60px)
The divs are given min-height: 100% and will re-size with content. This is possible thanks to
html,body { height: 100%; }
The inline gap is removed by placing the closing div tags right next to the next opening tag. More info here.
Example
Note: The child selectors can be replaced with class selectors if wanted.
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
div {
background: #f50057;
min-height: calc(50% - 5px);
width: calc(50% - 60px);
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin-right: 10px;
}
/*Fix first div*/
div:first-child {
width: 100px;
}
/*Remove third divs right margin*/
div:nth-child(3) {
margin: 0;
}
/*Top margin for last div*/
div:last-of-type {
width: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 10px 0 0;
}
<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
#2 - display: table / display: table-cell
Compatibility: IE 8 + and all modern browsers
The top three divs are wrapped in a div with display: table
The top three divs are given display: table-cell
The fixed left div is given a fixed width
To allow the "cells" to evenly spread out the available width, the wrapper is given table-layout: fixed
The spacing between the top three divs is given by the border property. This is calculated into the percentage calculation thanks to * { box-sizing: border-box }
The bottom div is outside the wrapper and is given display: block. It is given a top border to create the faux margin
Example
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
background: #000;
}
.table {
display: table;
height: 50%;
width: 100%;
table-layout: fixed;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.table > div {
background: #f50057;
display: table-cell;
border-left: solid 10px #FFF;
}
.table > div:first-child {
border-left: none;
width: 100px;
}
.footer {
width: 100%;
display: block;
background: #f50057;
height: 50%;
border-top: solid 10px #FFF;
}
<div class="table">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div class="footer"></div>
#3 - The future! display: flex
Compatibility: IE 11, all modern browsers and Safari (with -webkit- prefix)
This is my favourite! Mainly due to the fact that I created it in about 3 minutes.
The top three divs are wrapped in a container with display: flex
The first div is given its fixed pixel width and flex: 0 0 auto. This tells the div not to grow or shrink
The 2 flexible divs are given flex: 1 and will grow and shrink as needed; automatically ignoring the fixed column
The last div is outside the flex container and is independent
The height and widths of the flexible divs are created with viewport width (vw) and viewport height (vh) units.
Refer here for a fantastic flexbox guide.
Example
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
.flex {
display: flex;
height: 50vh;
width: 100vw;
}
.flex > div {
background: #f50057;
flex: 1;
margin-left: 10px;
}
.flex > div:first-child {
width: 100px;
flex: 0 0 auto;
margin: 0;
}
.footer {
width: 100%;
display: block;
background: #f50057;
height: calc(50vh - 10px);
margin-top: 10px;
}
<div class="flex">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div class="footer"></div>
Its not perfect but seems to do what you want with css tables.
<div class="table">
<div class="trow">
<div class="tcell">box1</div>
<div class="tcell">box2</div>
<div class="tcell">box3</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="table">
<div class="tcell last">box4</div>
</div>
.table{display:table; width:100%; text-align:center;}
.tcell{display:table-cell; background:#000; color:#fff; min-height:100px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #fff; }
.trow{display:table-row; }
.last{ background:red; }
.trow .tcell:first-child{ width:300px; }

You dont actually need the row
I have a three column layoyut - left, middle and right.
<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">
<div id="content-left"><img src="fileadmin/billeder/logo.jpg" width="180" height="35" alt=""></div>
<div id="content-middle"><f:format.html>{content_middle}</f:format.html></div>
<div id="content-right">
<f:format.raw>{navigator}</f:format.raw>
<f:format.raw>{content_right}</f:format.raw>
</div>
</div>
with this CSS
#all-wrapper {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#content-area {
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 5px auto;
}
#content-left {
float: left;
width: 180px;
min-height: 400px;
}
#content-middle {
width: 600px;
text-align: left;
padding: 0 10px;
line-height: 20px;
}
#content-right {
float: right;
min-width: 180px;
min-height: 200px;
text-align: left;
}
Left is 180px, middle is 600px and right is 180px, making it a 960px layout, like this.
http://jsfiddle.net/kxuW6/
For the most part, this works as intendend, but I want the middle column to have a somewhat flexible width according to the content in the right column.
It I put a image in the right column that have a width of 360px, the middle column will be 420px wide.
My problem is that an image with a width more than 180px, fx. 360px, will break the floating of the columns, as per this fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/5hNy5/
I want it to it to be like this fiddle, but without the fixed width in the middle column.
http://jsfiddle.net/Eqwat/
Use display: table-cell instead of floats...
If you are supporting the more mordern browsers, you can try:
#content-area {
width: 960px;
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 5px auto;
display: table;
border: 1px dashed blue;
}
#content-left {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dotted blue;
vertical-align: top;
width: 180px;
height: 200px;
}
#content-middle {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dotted blue;
vertical-align: top;
text-align: left;
padding: 0 10px;
line-height: 20px;
}
#content-middle p {
margin-top: 10px;
}
#content-right {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dotted blue;
vertical-align: top;
width: 180px;
height: 200px;
text-align: left;
}
The width value for a table-cell acts like a mininum value, so the left and right columns will expand if you insert an image into eithe one and the middle column will adjust to take up the remaining width.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/V7YNF/
The shortest form that should solve the above:
HTML:
<div class="area">
<div class="side"></div>
<div>Some content here</div>
<div class="side"></div>
</div>
CSS:
<!-- language: CSS -->
.area {
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
.area > *{
display:table-cell;
}
.side {
width: 100px;
background-color:gray;
}
See this fiddle.
If you are fine with shuffling the source order of the columns, you can relegate #content-middle to the bottom and give it display: block and overflow: hidden.
Markup:
<div id='all-wrapper'>
<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">
<div id="content-left"></div>
<div id="content-right"></div>
<div id="content-middle"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#all-wrapper {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#content-left {
float: left;
width: 180px;
min-height: 400px;
}
#content-middle {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
#content-right {
float: right;
min-width: 180px;
min-height: 200px;
}
Now the middle-column will take up the available space when the right-column's width changes.
