3 column site, stretch divs to largest column. Fit content.

1 New Member
Hi there.

I've searched the forum but could find what I was looking for. I have a tree column site. The 3 columns are in an outer div. I would like that the outer div (and the other 2 divs) to stretch with the content of the highest div. I saw some examples to get a 100% height by adding 100% to the body,html but that isn't what i want.

I just want the div's in the outer div to stretch with the (variable)heigh t of the highest div.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi all I have a simple 3 column css layout here: http://www.carfolio.com/newlook.dhtml However, when the centre column is wider than the screen (yes, it does happen on some pages on the site and no it can't happen differently) then the 3rd column overlays itself over the middle column's content. Is there a css-based 3 column layout without ugly hacks that will give me a 3rd column as far to the right as need be? Can anyone suggest a...

I have had a little free time lately to revisit a problem I have with the 3 column layout plus a header and footer. See this example: http://glish.com/css/7.asp There is a header and 3 columns. Pretend there's a footer at the bottom, too. :) Here are the issues I have been unable to solve without tables _somewhere_

This problem has got to have a simple solution and I can't be the first person who has ever handled it. Perhaps Google is no help because I'm not using the right terms? (I did find one post on-point, but no one responded to it.) I have a two column layout with a header and a footer. If the "content" is longer than the "navigation", there is no problem. However, if the content is shorter than the navigation, the navigation menus...

Hi guys and gals, I'm working on a 2 column CSS layout (for an ordering system) in which it isn't a priori known which of the two columns will be the longest, that depends on the (script generated) content. As there is also a following footer DIV, the usual floating one of the DIVs technique doesn't give the desired results, and has the floated DIV (if it is the longest one) being displayed/rendered through the footer DIV. I...

I help manage a large web site, one that has over 600 html pages... It's a reference site for ham radio folks and as an example, one page indexes over 1.8 gb of on-line PDF documents.

Is it possible to float left a few div elements so they stack left to right, but then have each "column" expand to the SAME length as the longest column? I am trying to make a border around a box that is made of background images, but the middle Section of divs need to expand to the same size as the middle div container since it holds the content of the page. look at it like this Div container div div div (row 1) div1 divX div2 (row 2)...

Can someone tell me how to make a div stretch vertically so it is always the same height as its neighbor div, while the neighbor div expands to fit its content (like a navigation bar on the left always the same height as the content div)?

I've just created a site which tests perfectly in most browsers except IE6 which ruins the column widths. The third column is pushed below the middle column and I've tried numerous fixes to no avail. The site can be viewed at http://www.clearlygreendesign.com/endcruelty/index.html The original CSS for the problem div is: Code: Select all #content { width:270px; height:615px; background:#6a5126;

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
