My height:100% AP divs not extending beyond viewport height
|
|
| Lossed 2004-09-11, 11:15 pm |
| Hi everyone,
I am trying to get the side fading AP divs to work on this page:
http://www.mpg.net.nz/NewLayout/layout.htm
All was good until page height exceeded the viewport/browser height. Only
then did i notice these fading divs wouldn't extend 100% page height.
Is there a better way to achieve the same thing without the AP divs, or a
way to make them extend the full page height?
Tks 'yall,
Lossed.

| I've experienced the same problem. Create a container div that will hold
all the content. Instead of creating two faded grey bar images, create one
image for the entire length of the background. Keep the height small
though...say about 15 or 20 pixels. So, if you want the width to be say 750
pixels wide, then you would make the grapic 750 pixels wide. Create the
graphic with the left and right faded grey bars with the rest of the middle
just white. Using CSS, choose the image as your background and repeat on
the y-axis. Then as your content within the container expands beyond the
viewport, so will the background image.
Hope this information helps!

| Hi, tks for this. It's certainly an option I'll use if have to, although I
was hoping for a solution that would not restrict me to a fixed width. Is it
just not possible?

| Just as a quick follow-up. Each of the two graphics will only be about 25
to 50 pixels width depending on how wide you want the blue colored outside
margin to be.

| Hmmm...you could try this. Create a graphic for the left side that includes
blue colored margin with the grey faded bar and then create the right side
graphic with the grey faded bar with the blue colored outside margin. Now,
you'll have two graphic for the left and right side. Using CSS, set the
body background to the left side image, horizontal position to left and
repeat y-axis. Create the container div, but set the width to 100% so it
will adjust to screen size. Using CSS, set the background of the container
div to the right side image, horizontal position to right and repeat y-axis.
I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure how that would work? I was just
thinking out loud, but it's something to try.
Let me know if it works. Hope that helps.

well for future use:)

| Hi there, well, I thought it worked, and it does in IE on PC but I still
have the same problem in firefox on PC.
I put the left fade as the background to the body and that works perfect.
But the right fade, as the background to the wrapper, only goes as far as
the bottom of the viewport, in firefox. In IE it goes to the bottom of the
page - the bottom of the wrapper. I have set the wrapper to height: 100% so
thought it would extend to fill the body, with the body and the html also
set to height: 100%.

| Hi Gordon,
Tks for this info. I was hoping to not have a fixed width table - I'm a
sucker for punishment :-)
If there is a way to keep the table percentage based but still somehow tack
the left and right fade images to the sides of it, that would be good. As
the table is used primarily to help force the footer to the bottom of
greater of page or viewport, and as such won't have too many rows/cells. i
guess i could apply a bg image aligned to the left or right of each row. I
haven't tried that yet but will later on.
Tks for your time,
Lossed

| Tried and it works well in both ie and ff if I shove the bg image into the
table's left and right cells.
