There are quite a lot of questions regarding iframe and it's height. Some are similar but not giving me the right answer. So let me explain my case:
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/AmVhK/3/show/
Editor: http://jsfiddle.net/AmVhK/3/
There is a table with 2 rows. First one contains a div #toolbar with fixed height. Second row contains a div which holds an iframe. I need the iframe to take the available space below the toolbar div.
Problem I am facing is in IE standards mode (supporting IE8+). Let's say, the height of the window is 1000px and height of toolbar is 200px, then the height of the iframe is also 1000px and so has scrollbars. I need the iframe to have height of (page height-toolbar height).
It would be good if there is a CSS solution. Using JavaScript to get the height available and setting it to the iframe or it's containing div is the last resort solution for me :)
Setting the toolbar or iframe to absolute position also won't work for my use case. Markup change is ok if necessary (if you want to remove tables)
I have already set the following CSS:
html, body {height: 100%}
Any good solution to implement it.
OK here's my attempt at this, there's an issue with the iframe wanting to have a horizontal scroll in IE7 but the layout is good, I had to give up because fighting with IE7 makes me want to chew out my own eyes, hopefully someone could expand from here.

This is as clean as it can get minding your original question mentions the toolbar has a fixed height. Minimal code, no wrapper elements and no tables necessary, IE8+/Chrome/Fox compatible.
However, in the comments of Dale's solution, you mention the toolbar height being flexible instead and a requirement for the iframe to adjust - that is a major gamechanger and I would suggest you strip that of your requirements as it's practically impossible to achieve in CSS2 without extra JS and/or horrendous CSS hacks. If you didn't want IE<=9 compatibility, this would be very possible using CSS3 flexbox.
Since the reason for the toolbar flexible height would be animation for different states as you mentioned, I would suggest you use the code below and animate the toolbar height and iframe padding-top at the same time to achieve the desired flexibility instead of just the toolbar height. It does not require any extra JavaScript outside of the animation itself, so the only "disadvantage" is to animate 2 properties instead of 1. The rest of the layout will finely adjust.
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#toolbar {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 200px; /* animate this */
}
#cblt_content {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding-top: 200px; /* and this */
box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
border: 0;
}
</style>
<div id="toolbar">Toolbar</div>
<iframe id="cblt_content" src="https://c9.io/"></iframe>
Getting rid of the vertical scroll
Using this code should leave with only the inner (iframe) scrolls:
html, body
{
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
}
Notes:
The width is needed (like with absolute).
You are right about absolute not helping you.
This actually makes sense for what you are trying to achieve (if I got it right).
Browser Support:
Might be a little buggy, but should be supported as of IE7 (quirksmode).
Hope I got the question right.
The solution is
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<style type="text/css">

#layout { position: relative; width: 100%; min-height: 100%; overflow-y: hidden; background-color: green; }
#toolbar { width: 100%; height: 160px; background-color: blue; }
#content-wrapper { position:absolute; top:180px; bottom: 0px; width: 100%; background-color: #0000dd; }

I think you can simply hide the parent scroll bar and get what you want. Like by simply adding overflow-y hidden:
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow-y:hidden;
}
This should do it! Here's the quick preview link: http://jsfiddle.net/AmVhK/15/show/
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#contentiframewrapper, #cblt_content {
/* max-height: 100%;
min-height: 99.9%;*/
height: 99.9%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 0;
}
#toolbar {
height: 100px !important;
background-color: #CCC;
text-align: center;
font-size: 50px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>
<table width="100%" height="99.6%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" id="toolbar">Toolbar
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" height="80.5%">
<div align="center" id="contentiframewrapper">
<iframe width="100%" frameborder="0" name="cblt_content" id="cblt_content" src="https://c9.io/" border="0"></iframe>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I've tested it in both Chrome and IE8 and it works on my side. It might bug in JSFiddle in IE8 but it shouldn't if you view it as a separate page (in normal conditions that is).
Edit:
Made some slight changes to the original code. However, you will have to change the <td> that holds the iFrame height value to the new height if you change the height of the toolbar. With IE there is no magic % value (unless you use JS, which you don't want of course) for it, it's just trial and error.

I don't know how else to describe it, not fullscreen, but fill up the whole viewport.

border-radius: 1px; /* Prevents bad clipping in Chrome. */
}
#content {
position: absolute;

}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 20px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
padding: 0 10px;
}
Expected outcome:
The coloured block fills the entire screen (I require this to be a as text is added afterwards).
Actual outcome:
Viewport is almost covered by the block, however, on the top and bottom, there is about 10px that are not coloured.
If you set the css min-height property as min-height:100vh; (rather than 100%) on the <pre> element, that should solve your issue, by forcing the height of the element to at least the full viewport height.
Edit - also add margin:0; to the style of the <pre> element. That seems to work for me.
Hope this helps! - James.
I have a three-column layout that takes up 100% width and height of the browser (with padding). This layout contains two columns which also take up 100% height and should scroll independently.
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/KdZ9A/2/. Here is how it looks in Chrome (desirable -- individual columns scroll):
and Firefox and IE (undesirable -- body is scrolling):
This works perfectly in Chrome; however, the in Firefox and IE (10), the entire page scrolls instead of individual columns scrolling. I only want the columns to overflow and scroll -- not the body. Any idea how to make this work in Firefox and IE?
I've also tried a bit different approach using absolute positioning of the columns' contents: http://jsfiddle.net/KdZ9A/3/.
Here is the HTML I am using:
<div id="container">
<div id="inner">
<div id="palette">palette</div>
<div id="list">
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="editor">
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm using absolute positioning to achieve 100% height and then display of table and table-cell inside that to achieve 100% height of the columnns:
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body {
position: relative;
}
#container {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
bottom: 20px;
}
#inner {
display: table;
height: 100%;
}
#inner > div {
display: table-cell;
}
#palette {
min-width: 180px;
max-width: 180px;
width: 180px !important;
background-color: pink;
}
#list {
width: 55%;
min-width: 350px;
background-color: cyan;
}
#editor {
width: 45%;
min-width: 400px;
background-color: magenta;
}
.content {
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
I was 5 minutes from giving up and HOLY CRAP...I GOT IT WORKING
http://jsfiddle.net/gFX5E/15/
This is based on the different approach I mentioned. I needed to wrap .content divs and make the wrappers position relative. I also added some headers to the columns.
HTML:
<div class="content-wrap">
<div class="content">
...
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.content-wrap {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
.content {
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
Seems to work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE8+.
And here is a more semantic HTML5 version which also adds a header to the top: http://jsfiddle.net/gFX5E/20/. I believe this will require use of html5shiv to work in IE8.
If you are willing to settle for a fixed total width, here is how:

This is a pretty old post, but I thought I'd comment.
If you display: flex instead of display: table in your 1st example that should fix the issue.
Also setting your scroll container height to 100vh will also do the trick.
You have to understand that the browsers apply scroll only when they understand the size( i.e. height and width) of the content is greater than the size specified for it. In your case, the height you have specified for the div is 100%. This effectively tells the browser to keep increasing the size of the div till all the content fits in completely. Hence, this creates the situation where scroll isn't needed as the browser would 'fit' the entire content within this div.
So if you want the div (or the paragraphs contained in it) to be scrollable, then you would have to specify the height and then tell the browser to provide a scroll for the content that won't fit in the specified size.
I am not sure if you want the individual 'paragraphs' to be scrollable or the entire div( which contains these paragraphs) to be scrollable. In either case, you would need to provide a fixed height for the scroll to be useful. Your paragraph tag would need to have the following CSS applied to it :
p {
height: 200px; /*Some fixed height*/
overflow-y: scroll;
}
Here's an example of this: http://jsfiddle.net/y49C3/
In case you want your div called 'content' to be scrollable (as opposed to the paragraphs), then you would have to apply the aforementioned CSS to the div instead.
.content {
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 500px;
}
You can see that here: http://jsfiddle.net/qF7Mt/1/
I have tested this in Firefox (29) and IE 10 and it works fine!!!
Hope this helps!!!
I want to layer background images so I can get a nice effect with borders.
I think my code is simple enough, but the problem I am having is that the tags don't want to expand correctly. I'll explain more later. Here's the html:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My blog</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="webdev.css"/>
</head>
<body class='body'>
<div class='outer'>
<div class='inner'>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The stylesheet:
.body
{
min-height:100%;
width:100%;
margin-top:0px;
overflow: hidden;
display: inline-block;
display: block;
}
.outer
{
min-height:100%;
width:100%;
overflow: hidden;
display: inline-block;
display: block;
}
.inner
{
min-height:100%;
width:100%;
}
I am not 100% sure the clearfixes are necessary yet. Basically I want the divs to all encapsulate the entire screen no matter what the screen size. Thanks for any and all responses. If I'm not clear feel free to comment and I will explain more, but I think the question is fairly basic.
Try this:
body
{
height:100%;
}
.outer
{
height:100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
display: block;
}
.inner
{
height:100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
display: block;
}
Making the width 100% is as simple as setting "width: 100%", the height is a bit harder..
You need to have "height: 100%" on both the <html> and <body>-tag.
And then "height: auto; height: 100%; min-height: 100%;" on your <div>'s
The reason that you have two "height" is because IE6 don't understand the "height: auto" and then needs the "height: 100%" instead.
You can see an example of this here: http://www.dave-woods.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/full-height-updated.html
I'm trying to make a really simple webpage. It should be a 1000px wide green, centered rectangle stretching all the way from the top to the bottom of the webpage on a red background, no matter how much content there is.
I can't get this working though. If I use min-height (like below), the green area doesn't stretch all the way to the bottom of the page if there's not enough content. If I replace it by height, the content overflows the green area if there's much content.
Here's my HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
content here.
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here's the CSS:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-color: #F00;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
}
#container {
background-color: #0F0;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;
}
I know this is feasible with more divs, but it really should work without changing the HTML. How can I solve this?
By the way, I'm on Safari. I don't care about compatibility with browsers not respecting standards.
Here is a working sample:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Container sample</title>
<style>
html, body
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
background: red;
}
#container
{
background: green;
width: 1000px;
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
Container sample
</div>
</body>
</html>
For more information take a look at my answer to a similar question.
you can use property position absolute for your requirement. It may help you
#container {
background-color: #0F0;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:50%;
margin-left:-500px;
}
Give your #container a position:absolute; with top and bottom set to 0.
#container {
background-color: #0F0;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
}

What can be a practical solution to center vertically and horizontally content in HTML that works in Firefox, IE6 and IE7?
Some details:
I am looking for solution for the entire page.
You need to specify only width of the element to be centered. Height of the element is not known in design time.
When minimizing window, scrolling should appear only when all white space is gone.
In other words, width of screen should be represented as:
"leftSpace width=(screenWidth-widthOfCenteredElement)/2"+
"centeredElement width=widthOfCenteredElement"+
"rightSpace width=(screenWidth-widthOfCenteredElement)/2"
And the same for the height:
"topSpace height=(screenHeight-heightOfCenteredElement)/2"+
"centeredElement height=heightOfCenteredElement"+
"bottomSpace height=(screenWidth-heightOfCenteredElement)/2"
By practical I mean that use of tables is OK. I intend to use this layout mostly for special pages like login. So CSS purity is not so important here, while following standards is desirable for future compatibility.

Solution from community.contractwebdevelopment.com also is a good one. And if you know height of your content that needs to be centered seems to be better.
For horizontal:
<style>
body
{
text-align:left;
}
.MainBlockElement
{
text-align:center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
You need the text-align:left in the body to fix a bug with IE's rendering.
For this issue you can use this style
#yourElement {
margin:0 auto;
min-width:500px;
}
Is this what you are trying to accomplish? If not, please explain what is different than the image below?
