Divs won't work - html

I just want to make everything in the 'wrapper' stretch out to fit the wrapper, but everything is being annoying and staying a fixed height??
So I wanted the 'sidebar' and the 'inside' of the 'content' area to be the same height all of the time, and i also want the 'content' to stretch to fit the 'wrapper' at all time, while having a 'header', 'nav', and 'footer'. but nothing I try seems to work. I had it at one point but lost the code and forgot what I did.. help? :c
also I was playing around to see what would happen by changing the 'wrapper's min-height, that's why it is so low.
OKAY. to specify: for one, I want the 'wrapper' to encapsulate everything inside of it and always increase its height when one of the children increase their height, like with the 'inside' div is filled with text and increases the height of the 'content'
In addition, I also want the 'sidebar' and 'inside' to keep the same height, aka why they have a height of 100% or top; 0 bottom; 0 w/e i have on here.
Html:
#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
min-height: 300px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
height: 100px;
float: left;
clear: both;
position: relative;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
background-color: grey;
height: 100%;
float: left;
clear: both;
position: relative;
}
#sidebar {
width: 180px;
background-color: green;
float: left;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
padding: 10px;
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
#inside {
width: 779px;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
background-color: orange;
float: right;
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
float: left;
clear: both;
background-color: pink;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
#nav {
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
float: left;
clear: both;
height: 20px;
background-color: purple;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
hi
</div>
<div id="nav">
hi
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="sidebar">
sidebar stuff
</div>
<div id="inside">

</div>

If I understand, you're looking for same height columns.

How do prevent my div from spilling outside its parent container?

Here is my code taken from the codepen: http://codepen.io/rags4developer/pen/ONoBpm
Please help me to fix these problems.
How do I prevent the the main div & footer from spilling out of the container div ? overflow: hidden for container will not always work !
How do I make the container div height equal to page height without setting its height to a fixed percentage ?
HTML:
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="nav">nav links 1,2,3 etc</div>
<div id="main">
<!--no text here-->
<div id="left">left panel</div>
<div id="right">right panel</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">footer</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
* {box-sizing: border-box;}
html {height: 100%;}
body {height: 100%;}
#container {
border: 8px solid yellow;
height: 100%;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#nav {
border: 4px solid red;
height: 15%;
}
#main {
border: 4px solid black;
height: 100%;
background: gray;
}
#left {
border-top: 4px solid green;
border-left: 4px solid green;
border-bottom: 4px solid green;
float: left;
width: 15%;
height:100%;
/*I will make this gradient later*/
background: #9e9999;
}
#right {
border: 4px solid blue;
float: right;
width: 85%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: 20px 0 0 0;
background: white;
}
#footer {
border: 4px solid pink;
clear: both;
}
I am not completely sure if I understand you correctly, but your heights (i.e. the heights within the #container div) add up to 15% + 100% + the height of the footer = at least 115% of the #container height plus the footer height, which causes the "spilling over".
I changed the #content height to 80% and added height: 5%; to the footer in this fork of your codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/EKeOdm
Now everything remains within the #container. Is this what you want?
The clearfix solution still works well for floated elements, IMO. Try removing the height styles and add this:
#main:before,
#main:after {
display: table;
content: "";
}
#main:after {
clear: both;
}
Further: http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/
Using display table should fix this.
#container {
border: 8px solid yellow;
height: 100%;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
**display: table;**
}
#content {
border: 4px solid black;
background: gray;
height: 100%;/*Not sure 100% of what ? Parent ???*/
**display: table-row;**
}

<div> inside another <div> same percentage but inner overlaps?

I've got a div within a div, both are percentage based for the page but the nested div overlaps slightly to the right.
I'm actually trying to get the white box sit inside the first light blue div with a small margin on all sides so you can see a bit of the darker backround color, making it stand out more.
Editing to point out that the point of the position:fixed is to make the white box move as you scroll.
A solution was posted that involved chaning the position to relative, although this obviously stops the box from moving.
JSFiddle
div {
border-radius: 5px;
}
#header {
height: 50px;
background-color: #F38630;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.left {
height: 1300px;
width: 25%;
background-color: #A7DBD8;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.right {
height: 1300px;
width: 75%;
background-color: #E0E4CC;
float: right;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer {
height: 50px;
background-color: #69D2E7;
clear: both;
}
#fixedleft {
height: 50px;
width: 25%;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
}
<html>
<head>
<title>Result</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div class="left"><div id="fixedleft"></div></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
Your margin is increasing with the width.
Try:
#fixedleft {
height: 50px;
width: calc(25% - 2px);
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px;
}
I guess that this issue is due to default body margin as it doesn't affect the width of your fixed div(as you can see in the example, it's width is always the same, no matter what margin value you set, unlike it's container's width) :
body { margin:0; }
There is still a problem with the inner margin (1px) that pushes it out of the container, you can use calc for it, here is an example:
JSFiddle
#fixedleft {
background-color: #ffffff;
height: 50px;
margin: 2px;
position: relative;
width: 98%;
}
Please try this instear of
#fixedleft {
height: 50px;
width: 25%;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
}
if you load jQuery..
$(window).bind("resize", function(){
$("#fixedleft").width( parseInt($(".left").width()) -2)
})
$(function(){$(window).resize()})

Floating divs not floating left

Okay, so this is all supposed to be in one 139px height header and it renders as such in dreamweaver, but as soon as I view it in a browser the menu div splits down onto a second row.
Here's the HTML:
<div id="header">
<div id="header2">
<div id="title">
<img src="titleimg.png" border="0" />
</div>
<div id="menu">
<div id="one"></div>
<div id="two"></div>
<div id="three"></div>
<div id="four"></div>
<div id="five"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the CSS:
#header {
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: fixed;
height: 139px;
width: 100%;
background-image: url('headerbg.png');
border-bottom: solid 1px #797978;
text-align: center;
display: inline-table;
}
#header2 {
width: 1040px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
#title {
padding-top: 27px;
width: 287px;
height: 112px;
background-image: url('title3d.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right bottom;
float: left;
}
#menu {
width: 753px;
height: 13px;
border-left: solid 1px #474747;
display: inline-table;
}
#one {
width: 19%;
height: 139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float: left;
}
#two {
width: 19%;
height: 139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float: left;
}
#three {
width: 19%;
height: 139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float: left;
}
#four {
width: 19%;
height: 139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float: left;
}
#five {
width: 19%;
height: 139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float: left;
}
Help would be greatly appreciated!
You are making the mistake of thinking your total width is 1040px by just adding up the width of #menu and #title but you are forgetting that you also have a 1px border-left on your #menu hence your width becomes 1041 and hence gets pushed over. so if you reduce either the menu or title's width by 1pixel you will be good to go :)
Also you can save some code on the css for the menu elements if you are going to repeat the same code for #one, #two etc etc:
#menu > div {
width:19%;
height:139px;
border-right: solid 1px #474747;
float:left;
}
The width of your title element is set to 287px; which is larger than the container.
I have tweaked up your code a little bit to make it sane.
http://jsfiddle.net/gwfQt/
The issue what you are actually facing is, you have divided the width of #title and #menu completely within 1040px which is the width of your header.
However, you didn't take into account that DIV within #menu has borders.
Also suggest you use classes if you have repetitive styles for different divs.
Let me know if I can improve my answer with better code.

Proper div sizing without using pixel values

My case is as follows. I have a div with two children divs. I'd like the 'event' div to be 300px of width and height. First requirement is to keep the size of the 'event' div when 'content' and 'bar' elements use 100% of parent's width. Secondly as for now, borders of 'content' element are not visible. Is it possible to fit everything inside without using hardcoded values and get this display properly in most of the modern browsers (FF, Chrome, Opera, IE7+) ?
This is what I'd like to achieve (notice the left red bar which takes 100% height and doesn't collide with the grey border around the event element):
And this is what I have. Html :
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="scheduler">
<div class="event" style="top: 30px; height: 300px; width: 300px">
<div class="bar"></div>
<div class="content">
<div class="inner-content">Some text</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
, css :
#wrapper {
width: 600px;
height: 600px;
}
#scheduler {
background-color: #E1FFFE;
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0 10px;
position: relative;
}
#scheduler .event {
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#scheduler .event .bar {
background-color: red;
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
width: 5px;
}
#scheduler .event .content {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-left: none;
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
and a runnable demo :
http://jsfiddle.net/6nTvD/1/
Try this. Take out the bar div, then change the .content css to:
#scheduler .event .content {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-left: 5px solid red; // replaces the bar
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 99%; // a bit of a hack to fit the border in
position: relative;
width: 98%; // hack
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Dp3yz/
EDIT: Code with the .bar still in place:
#scheduler .event .bar {
background-color: red;
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 99.9%; /* Small offset at bottom */
position: relative;
width: 5px;
}
#scheduler .event .content {
background-color: white;
/* revised border */
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 99%;
position: absolute;
width: 98%;
}
New version:
http://jsfiddle.net/JJrC9/1/
I don't think I fully understand your quandary, however, with the only difference I can spy between your desired outcome and your current work being the presence of the borders -- switching overflow:hidden; on #scheduler .event to overflow:visible; produces something that visually looks to me like it achieves the desired affect.

HTML + CSS: take all available viewpoer

I'm trying to make liquid HTML layout with header (taking all available width and 130px height), 2 columns (1: 300px width all possible height, 2: all available width after column 2 took its 300px and 15-20px margin between them).
Atm I've got this:
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<!-- .... -->
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="left-column">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
<div class="right-column">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
html, body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
min-width: 1000px;
min-height: 500px;
}
body {
font: 12px sans-serif;
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
}
.wrapper {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.header {
padding: 0 30px;
height: 100px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
border-top: none;
}
.content {
position: absolute;
top: 120px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0px;
margin: 10px 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.left-column {
float: left;
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.right-column {
margin-left: 315px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
The question is: are there any better solutions?
Thanks.
I took your HTML and created this fiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/RdQJY/1/. I didn't use any of your CSS though - I just don't like positioning used in the way you are using it, so decided to write it from scratch (sorry about that). The lorem ipsum text is just there as a placeholder - if you remove it, you'll see that the divs will occupy the whole window. Hope this helps!
P.S.: the only drawback to my method of having equal-height columns is that there is no easy way to apply a bottom border to them.
