[SOLVED] Issue with 100% height and overflow:scroll


Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem figuring out how to keep the header of my page while not having the content pane extend past the footer (flush with footer).

 

Here is what I'm at right now -> http://fansn.com/temp.php

 

Any ideas on how to fix that scrollbar to become flush with the footer?

instead of using 100  percent on just the container  i would make it so the whole layout flexes

 

header 10%

contain80%

footer 10%

 

will still fill the entire page but they all hold there spots

and make a container that is 100% just for centering the page and what not

Note that this layout is unlikely to work in IE6, users of IE6 and ealier are encouraged to upgrade. Those using win9x should shift to opera, or upgrade their OS which would allow them to get a new browser.

 

The following layout is position based, I'm sure you can modify it to fit your own requirements.

It is actually 2008 (try copy/pasting it into notepad), when Georgia is that small the zeros look like that for some reason.

 

The absolute positioned layout is exactly what I needed, works great! To make it work you just need to define the widths (100%) of each element, then keep the container 1000px.
