I have 2 divs, and I need both of them to have a minimum size of about 300px.
I need the left div to stretch out to the available space, however if the window size is too small, then the right div needs to drop below. This is what I have currently, but Im not sure what to change.
<style>
.bbleft {
min-height: 237px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.bbright {
float: right;
width: 300px;
min-height: 237px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
</style>
This is what you need

.right {
float: none; /* not needed, just for clarification */

width: auto;
max-width:500px; /* not neccessary */
overflow: hidden;
}

A css3 approach..
Flexible left div.
Right div drops when page too small.
Left div fills up the rest of the space.
HTML
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
CSS
body{
width:100%;
}
body div{
min-width:300px;
float:left;
}
.left{
width: calc( 100% - 310px );
}
simple use this
.bbleft {
min-height: 237px;
overflow:hidden;
float:left;width:100%;
}

I can't figure out this basic problem. I basically am trying to place the purple div next to the yellow div. these 2 divs are wrapped in the white div, and the white div is wrapped in the blue div.
If I float the yellow and purple divs left, the white div changes its fixed width from 960px to 100%, and the blue div cannot be seen.
How can this be fixed? I've tried clear:both but to no avail.
/* Footer */
#footer-wrap{

#footer-content-wrap{

}
#footer-left{

You just need to add the overflow: auto; to both containers and then float your elements, the issue is that when you float the objects the containers will loose the height, you can read more here: why-does-overflow-hidden-have-the-unexpected-side-effect-of-growing-in-height-t. Here is a fiddle with your code and the overflow's fixed, I added an extra padding to the containers so you can check the results, if you remove the padding's it will still look like they dissapeared, I also made the white div to red to be more obvious the results.
When you float your footer-left and footer-right divs, the white div takes 100% width as its 960px equals the sum of the footers.
If I float the yellow and purple divs left, the white div changes its
fixed width from 960px to 100%, and the blue div cannot be seen.
The blue div is cannot be seen because you are not clearing the floats - clear it with overflow: hidden on the footer-content-wrap.
See demo below:
/* Footer */
#footer-wrap {
width: auto;
height: auto;
background: #039;
}
#footer-content-wrap {
width: 960px;
height: auto;
background: #EDF5F7;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
#footer-left {
float: left;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
background: #CC3;
}
#footer-right {
float: left;
width: 460px;
height: 200px;
background: #96F;
}
<div id="footer-wrap">
<div id="footer-content-wrap">
<div id="footer-left"></div>
<div id="footer-right"></div>
</div>
</div>
You can add a float:left property to your divs.
See this pen.
CSS :
#footer-wrap {
width: auto;
height: auto;
background: #039;
}
#footer-content-wrap {
width: 960px;

margin: 0 auto;
}
#footer-left {

I have a 3 column layout which I'm creating using inline-block divs. The left and right columns are fixed widths but the inner column is to hold dynamic content and should expand horizontally as required by it's content width.
That's easy enough... the tricky part is that when the browser window is smaller (horizontally) than the width of the left, right and expanded middle divs, I would like the middle div to scroll and the side columns to stay fixed. In other words, the middle div's size should shrink and grow with window resize but should not grow beyond the available space.
Simply laying out the divs looks like this
https://jsfiddle.net/xzjp5xef/1/
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="lcol">
left
</div>
<div id="midcol">
<div id="spacer">
150px spacer
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
right
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div {
height:200px;
border-style:solid;
display: inline-block;
border-width: 1px;
vertical-align: top;
}
#container{
white-space: nowrap;
}
#lcol {
background-color:blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#spacer {
min-width: 150px;
margin: 10px;
height: 20px;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width:100px;
}
The point of the "spacer" div is to represent the dynamic content which in this case I've fixed to 150px plus padding. So in this case I want the divs to lay out the way they do in the above fiddle, but then when the window is shrunk horizontally, I want the middle div to scroll and the left and right divs to remain fully visible.
That fails because then the window gets a scroll bar but the middle panel remains the same width and the right hand div disappears into the scrolled region.
My next attempt was using absolute positioning
https://jsfiddle.net/n4zrLqh2/
I fixed the left div to the left and the right div to the right and set the middle div's right and left properties. This is a neat trick which allows the middle div to stretch and take up all available space. This works nicely but doesn't create the effect I'm after when the window is big - because I don't want the middle column to expand further than is necessary to contain its content.
In the end I've solved this with javascript but would much prefer a CSS solution.
Edit: To help others see what I'm trying to achieve, here's the complete javascript solution (which I'd prefer to achieve with pure CSS):
HTML:
<div id="lcol">left</div>
<div id="midcol">
<div id="spacer">150px spacer</div>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">right</div>
CSS:
div {
height:200px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin: 0px;
float:left;
}
body {
white-space: nowrap;
margin:0px;
max-height: 200px;
}
#lcol {
background-color:blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#spacer {
min-width: 150px;
height: 20px;
background-color: gray;
margin: 5px;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width:100px;
}
JAVASCRIPT (with jquery)
function adjustSizes() {
// Sizes of middle divs are dynamic. Adjust once
// built or whenever the viewport resizes
//
var $leftDiv = $('#lcol')
var $milddleDiv = $('#midcol');
var $rightDiv = $('#rightcol');
// 1. Resize middle div to available viewport space
var maxBodyWidth = $(window).innerWidth() - ($leftDiv.outerWidth() + $rightDiv.outerWidth());
$milddleDiv.css('maxWidth', maxBodyWidth);
}
$(window).resize(function () {
adjustSizes();
});
And the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/bjmekkgj/2/
I think setting max-width of spacer will solve your problem in case content increases.
Set max-width to calc(100vw - 200px) if all margin and padding are 0. Otherwise adjust the value 200px taking margin, padding into account.
I have created a plunker. Please check if it solves your issue. Try checking after running plunker in spearate window

For the one example you provided, since the left and right columns are positioned absolutely, you should take up the space somehow. I used padding on the middle column, then nested a "content" block inside that represents the visible part of the middle column. Then, I put overflow-x: auto; on the new content block and set a max-width on the overall container to force the new block to shrink.
(In previous edits, I was attempting to do this same thing but with floats instead of absolutely positioned divs)
* { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
#container {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
max-width: 100%;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 200px;
}
.column {
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100px;
border-right: 1px solid black;
background: blue;
}
#mid {
border: none;
padding: 0px 100px;
}
#mid > .content {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
height: 100%;
}
#spacer {
width: 150px;
height: 20px;
}
#right {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100px;
border-left: 1px solid black;
background: red;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="left" class="column">
left
</div>
<div id="mid" class="column">
<div class="content">
<div id="spacer">
150px spacer
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right" class="column">
right
</div>
</div>
...and in JSFiddle form
flexbox can do that.
div {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
}
#container {
height: 200px;
display: flex;
}
#lcol {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
flex: 1;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width: 100px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="lcol">
left
</div>
<div id="midcol">
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
right
</div>
</div>
JSfiddle Demo (showing overflow effect).
Support is IE10 and up.
Try setting the middle div to have a max width with a percentage so it will get thinner with the screen size:
.midcol {
max-width: 25%;
}
I put a value for the max-width in there for an example, but you can change the value.
In a Nutshell:
This is what i want to achieve: https://jsfiddle.net/Pintolus/faz88ayh/33 (you have to resize the result window to see the effect) but the #Content Div should fill out the rest of the screen-space next to the #Sidebar.
The Sidebar should still move UNDER the #Content on small screens.
This is what i want to achieve:
There should be 3 divs:
#Sidebar, which is on the left side and has a fixed width
#Content, which is on the right side and has a fluid width
#Footer, which is on the bottom of the page and is full width
That is not a big deal, but i want the #Sidebar to move under the #Content on small screens. This alone is also not a big deal and can be achieved by using Bootstraps Push- and Pull-Classes.
The problem is, that i have no idea how to combine both issues.
I want the sidebar to be fixed width (until it moves down) AND to move under the content-div.
This is the code for the left sidebar moving under the #Content:
HTML:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9 col-md-push-3" id="content"></div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9" id="sidebar"></div>
</div>
<div class="row"
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS: (Just for demo)
#sidebar {background: #CCC; height: 150px;}
#content {background: #111; height: 100px;}
#footer {background: #F00; height: 100px;}
See the fiddle here (You have to resize the results window).
Now i want the Sidebar in this fiddle to be fixed width (for example 100px).
Please help, this drives me crazy.
PS: position: absolute for the sidebar is no solution, because it will overlap the footer (due to different height).
Not sure how your push/pull works, bu I assume it's classes that appear on both your divs.
I wonder whether it would be easier to do that with media queries.
Anyway, here's a way to do it (sorry, my knowledge of bootstrap is close to nil, so I went for a very simplified piece of code):
http://jsfiddle.net/txLaukqm/1/
HTML :
<div id="sidebar"></div
><div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-size: 0; /* to fight the space before the footer due to inline-block */
}
body * {
font-size: 1rem; /* to reset the font-size */
}
#sidebar {
display: inline-block;
background: #CCC;
height: calc(100% - 100px);
width: 100px;
vertical-align: top;
}
#sidebar.hidden {
display: none;
}
#content {
display: inline-block;
background: #111;
height: calc(100% - 100px);
width: calc(100% - 100px);
overflow: auto;
vertical-align: top;
}
#content.full-width {
width: 100%;
}
#footer {
background: #F00;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
}
I have a layout involving a div.left on the left with a set width of 40px, and a div.right on the right with a width of 100% to fill the remaining parent-container space.
HTML:
<div class="parent">
<div class="left">
L
</div>
<div class="right">
R
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.parent {
background: maroon;
max-width: 500px;
}
.left {
float: left;
background: green;
width: 40px;
opacity: 0.7;
}
.right {
width: 100%;
padding-left: 50px;
background: blue;
}
Jsfiddle
Is it possible to achieve this layout (one element with fixed width next to another that fills the remaining space) without resorting to the padding method I'm currently using? My problem is that I'd like to use a transparent background on the left-floated element, so the padding hidden beneath those elements would be visible. Also, my current approach doesn't downsize fluidly.
For that you need to float: left; the other element as well..
.right {
width: calc(100% - 40px);
background: blue;
float: left;
}
Demo
Also, am using calc() here, to deduct the fixed width sidebar which is 40px from 100% right bar.
As #Krimson commented that you want some space between the element as well, than use margin
.right {
width: calc(100% - 80px);
background: blue;
float: left;
margin-left: 40px;
}
Demo
Note: In the demo, am using overflow: hidden; as a quick fix for clearing floats, but better use clear: both; for that, for more information on clearing floats, you can read my answer here.
Inspected Elements
What if u change your .right to this:
.right {
/* width: 100%; remove width */
margin-left: 50px; /* Margin instead of Padding */
background: blue;
}
JSFiddle Demo
I have a container div with a floating left-hand navigation pane and a content pane to the right:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="leftnav"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
CSS:
body
{
text-align: center; /* IE center div fix */
}
#container
{
width: 800px; /* site width */
background-color: red; /* so I can see it */
text-align: left; /* undo text-align: center; */
margin: 0 auto; /* standards-compliant centering */
}
#leftnav
{
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
#content
{
height: 100%;
width: 600px;
margin-left: 200px;
background-color: green; /* so I can see it */
}
.clearfix { clear: both; }
The #container div stretches to the full height of the floating #leftnav div, but the contained #content div does not stretch to 100% of the height. I've read elsewhere that this is due to the parent #container not having a specified height (defaults to auto) and therefore the 100% is not based on that container; however, I can't specify the height because the left navigation pane height isn't constant.
How can I get the #content div to be 100% of the height of the #container div when the #container div's height is defined by the floating #leftnav?
This is similar to the 3 column liquid "holy grail" CSS layout that has been plaguing people for years (though has been solved in the past couple years, though many of the solutions required browser hacks or Javascript to function).
I'd highly suggest you not reinvent the wheel here as it is difficult to get CSS to perform exactly as you're describing. Here is a good resource for this layout and many other similar liquid layouts:
http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-2-column-left-menu.htm
The easy way would be to use JS to set the height of #content to the height of #leftnav. You can use faux columns on #container and make a slice/gif of the green background and repeat it vertically on #container along with the red however you have it but I'm not sure if it fits your needs.
try this CSS
body
{
text-align: center; /* IE center div fix */
}
#container
{
width: 800px; /* site width */
background-color: red; /* so I can see it */
text-align: left; /* undo text-align: center; */
margin: 0 auto; /* standards-compliant centering */
}
#leftnav
{
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
#content
{
height: 100%;
width: 600px;
background-color: green; /* so I can see it */
float:right;
}
.clearfix { clear: both; }
I would also suggest using a line break with a clear both rather than a div.
