I want to position a div in the middle of the page. The solution I found on the internet assumes that the div will be of static size. I need the div to be in the middle, if the content is the right size, but if it is over the size of the div, it should become bigger, and eventually allow scrolling without changing the width.
PS: I don't need support for IE, just XULRunner (Firefox) and Webkit based browsers.
Edit: The whole page must be scrollable, not just the content div. And I need to preserve all the line breaks.
Here you go:
<style>
.container{
border: 1px solid Red;
width: 300px;
height: 500px;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.content{
border: 1px solid Blue;
width: 100px;
height:auto;
min-height: 100px;
max-height:200px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
overflow:auto;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<div class="content">
add content here
</div>
</div>
How it looks like:
Test it.
If you don't need IE support use vertical-align property:
make the body displays as table
an outer div as table-cell and set it's vertical-align as 'middle'
like:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
html{
height: 100%;
}
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: table;
margin: 0;
}
#div_1 {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 100%;
}
#div_2 {
width: 200px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: auto;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="div_1">
<div id="div_2">

EDIT: A more cross-browser implementation you would make the body like that:
<body>

</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
once display: table doesn't works well with IE7 and early (looks like should work on ie8, but I still couldn't make it)

I got stuck. I have a wrapping div on my page with height set to some value. In this div, I have another div with set height (the yellow one). Under it, there is a blue div, which height automatically grows with the content. I want that div to have a scrollbar when the content exceeds all available height.
here is an example you can play with:
.container {
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #888891;
}
.header {
height: 40px;
background-color: #FEEC63;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.body {
color: #fff;
background-color: #63A4FE;
overflow: hidden; /* why is that not hiding the excess text? */
}
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
Hi there!
</div>
<div class="body">

add height: calc(100% - 50px); to .body and it will work
the overflow didn't working on div.body because the height wasn't fixed
and to make it fit the rest of the container you use calc to substruct the height of the header plus 10px of the margin-bottom
jsfiddle
From MDN:
In order for the overflow property to have an effect, the block
level container must either have a bounding height (height or
max-height) or have white-space set to nowrap.
However, when you switch from a block formatting context to a flex formatting context, the requirement above doesn't apply and you can keep things simple:
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #888891;
}
.header {
height: 40px;
background-color: #FEEC63;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.body {
overflow: hidden; /* switch to 'auto' for scrollbar */
color: #fff;
background-color: #63A4FE;
}
<div class="container">

JSFiddle
Trying to learn to manually set up 12-Column grids. I'd like my grid_8 and grid_4 to expand to be the same height. They're set to inherit height, as is their parent ("container"), so my thought is that they should all match the height of the outermost div, "main_content", which I think I have set up to dynamically change its height.
The container and grid_8 divs seem to match the height properly, but why not my grid_4 div? If I manually fix the height of the main_content div, than they all expand in height properly, but why does it not work in this case?
Any help as to what I'm not understanding would be appreciated.
HTML:
<body>
<div class="main_content">
<div class="container">
<div class="grid_8">

/* height: 600px; */
border: 1px solid black;
}
JSFiddle
What I can see is you have not provided any height to main_content, hence grid have also inherited no height at all.
so the height they are getting is only because of the content present inside them.
and when you are setting the value manually(600px) then the container and grids are inheriting that much value and are getting properly arranged.
I have this code:
html:
<div class="tile">

margin: 0 10px;
}
fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/v8Lhxk2v/
and I get this layout
but I need to get something like next image, without using js.
Can that be solved?
Depending on browser support you can use flex.
The container would need:
display: flex;
flex-flow: column;
Here's a quick demo with example markup:
http://jsbin.com/xuwina/3/edit?html,css,output
Look at this
http://jsfiddle.net/v8Lhxk2v/4/
playing with border-bottom and overflow:hidden on the parent element.
.tile{
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
background: #cecece;
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
border-bottom: 22px solid #cecece;
overflow: hidden;
}
.tile h3{
min-height: 25px;
max-height: 61px;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
.tile .content{
margin: 0 10px;
}
I would say try to position the content absolute to the bottom of the tile.
In that case you can set the space where the content should end. Still you need to add an extra class to your content with the smaller title to be it larger than the other tile with the larger title.
Your HTML would be:
<div class="tile">
<h3>short</h3>
<!-- Added an extra class to the div -->
<div class="content small">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,
quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse
cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non
proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</div>
</div>
Within your CSS I changed this:
.tile .content{
height: 162px;
background-color:grey;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom:30px;
}
.tile .small{height:216px;}
And then you get this result: JSFIDDLE
Let me know if this is a solution that works for you.
Solving this problem is pretty simple with flexbox.
By creating a column flex container the flex items stack vertically. You can then apply flex: 1 to the text box (.content) which makes it expand the full available height of the container.
HTML
<div id="container"><!-- container to align .tile boxes in flexbox row;
(this flexbox is optional) -->
<div class="tile">
<h3>short</h3>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ... </div>
</div>
<div class="tile">
<h3>longLongLong longLongLong longLongLong</h3>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ... </div>
</div>
</div><!-- end #container -->
CSS
#container {
display: flex; /* establish flex container;
aligns flex items (child elements) in a row by default; */
}
.tile {
display: flex; /* establish (nested) flex container */
flex-direction: column; /* override default row alignment */
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
background: #cecece;
/* float: left; */
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}
.tile h3 {
min-height: 20px;
max-height: 61px;
/* display: inline-block; */
overflow: hidden;
}
.tile .content {
flex: 1; /* tells flex item to use all available vertical space in container */
height: 162px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 10px 40px 10px; /* added bottom margin for spacing from container edge */
}
DEMO
Note that flexbox is supported by all major browsers, except IE 8 & 9. Some recent browser versions, such as Safari 8 and IE10, require vendor prefixes. For a quick way to add all the prefixes you need, use Autoprefixer. More browser compatibility details in this answer.
Using Ellipsis (...)
If you want to apply ellipsis to a single line of text, CSS makes that somewhat easy with the text-overflow property. It's still a bit tricky (due to all the requirements), but text-overflow makes it possible and reliable.
If, however, you want to use ellipsis on multi-line text – as would be the case here – then don't expect to have any fun. CSS doesn't provide a single property for doing this, and the workarounds are hit and miss. For details and methods see my answer here: Applying Ellipsis to Multiline Text
Well, pretty easy... make <div class="move"></div> and put your h3 into it like:<div class="move"><h3>Short</h3></div> now style that move div like so:
.move{height:100px;}
it workd, you are done :)
PS: make it with both of your h3s :)
well, there is a code:
css:
.tile{
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
background: #cecece;
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}
.tile h3{
min-height: 20px;
max-height: 61px;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
.tile .content{
height: 162px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 10px;
}
.move{height:100px;}
html:
<div class="tile">
<div class="move">
<h3>short</h3>

I would try another aproach. Using jquery you can calculate on window load the height of the highest h3 and then, apply that height to all your h3 inside your tiles.
I know you asked for a pure css solution, so it's ok if I don't get any credit, but I think this answer may be usefull for other users with the same problem so that's why I wrote it.
Something like this:
var maxHeight = -1;
$('.tile h3').each(function() {
if ($(this).height() > maxHeight)
maxHeight = $(this).height();
});
$('.tile h3').each(function() {
$(this).height(maxHeight);
});
As you can see in this JSFIDDLE (notice I removed the fixed max-heightyou added to the header and add a third tilewith a "very long text" so you can check the exmaple better.
Try this use extra div with wrap. h3 & div.content tag are wrapped by extra div and some css to be change as following:
.tile > div {
height: calc(100% - 20px);
margin: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 22px!important;
}
.tile {
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
background: #cecece;
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}
.tile h3 {
min-height: 20px;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 5px 0;
}
.tile .content {
margin: 0;
}
<div class="tile">
<div>
<h3>short</h3>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure

<div class="tile">

</div>
</div>
How about a fixed height:
.tile h3 {
height: 65px;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
}
Or accompanied by js (jQuery):
// Height handler
var headHeight = 0;
// Iterate throug all H3s an get highest
jQuery( 'h3' ).each( function() {
// Get current height
var currentHeight = jQuery( this ).height();
// If higher as handler set as handler
if( currentHeight > headHeight ) {
headHeight = currentHeight;
}
} );
// Set the height of all H3s
jQuery( 'h3' ).css( 'height', headHeight );
This would be a pretty robust solution ...
you can resolve by the flexbox Flexible Box Layout Module:
.tile{
...
/* add the following line */
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: space-between;
...
}
http://jsfiddle.net/57yLgxsx/
This example works on Chrome you can check for the browser compability on caniuse.com
and then add the correct prefixes.
It depends on who you want to ensure compatibility ( last 2 vorsion of all browser, mobile or desktop or both ).
keep in mind that there are two versions of flexbox, the "old" and the "new". What I wrote above is the new.

}
#text {

float: left;
border: 1px solid red;
}
What I am to do is have the contents align in the centre of the container, rather than have the container centred as since the two elements are both using max-width.
If I set the margin of the container to auto and set it to a specific width (say 410px, just enough for the 2 max-widths of 200px) , I get this:
But if the child elements shrink below the max-width they do not align as the container has not changed width:
Is there a way I can ensure that the two child elements are centred horizontally at all times, preferably without JavaScript and with just pure CSS/HTML?
Try this, hope its what you're after...
#main {
border: 1px solid red;
display: block;
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
.image{
