Darkmatter5 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Here's my css code html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000; background-color: #C0C0C0; margin: 0 auto; } #wrap { min-height: 100%; width: 90%; z-index: 1; margin: 0 auto;*/ position: relative; background-color: blue;*/ } #header { height: 60px; z-index: 2; background-color: fuchsia;*/ } #content { z-index: 2; background-color: aqua;*/ } #footer { height: 60px; width: inherit; z-index: 2; position: absolute; bottom: 0px; background-color: green;*/ } Here's my page code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title><?php echo $page_title; ?></title> <link href="library/config.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrap"> <div id="header">header</div> <div id="content">content</div> <div id="footer">footer</div> </div> </body> </html> The page displays fine in Firefox, but in IE the footer div only extends the length of the content, not all the way across. Why not? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133409-help-with-div-positioning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmatter5 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh and also the content div in both Firefox and IE don't fill the the top of the footer div. How can I also get it to do that too? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133409-help-with-div-positioning/#findComment-693861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 i would set the width to 100% instead of inherit and prob set that on header and content to Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133409-help-with-div-positioning/#findComment-693999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmatter5 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Okay I put "width: 100%;" on header, content and footer. In IE it worked, but in Firefox it extents the width of the window, not the edge of the parent div. How can I fix this? Upon further examination, it looks like Firefox likes inherit when IE likes 100%, how can you do both or a happy medium both like?

Darkmatter5 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 How can you put 2 divs inside a wrapper div and give the right div a fixed width, but then give the left div a width of "fill up to the edge of the right div". So The div div is fixed in width, but the left is dynamic. How in Hades can you do this?
