liamloveslearning Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi everybody, Ive never actually got my head around this no matter how hard ive googled and youtube'd, what i have is a header div, container div (which contains right and left content divs) and then a footer. My content div is set to auto height and so is my left content div, when I fill my left content div with text however it gains height but my content div doesnt and my footer div doesnt move down the page respectively, heres my code, if anybody has any idea it would be greatly appreciated, thanks index <!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>Picture This - Makeover Photography Studio</title> <link href="css/reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="css/text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <style type="text/css"> <!-- --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"> <div id="faq"></div> </div> <div id="content"></div> <div id="contentleft">sadas<br /> sadas<br />sadas<br />sadas<br />sadas<br />sadas<br />sadas<br />sadas<br /></div> <div id="contentright">sfsdf</div> <div id="footer">asdasd</div> </div> </div> </body> </html> style @charset "UTF-8"; /* CSS Document */ #container { width: 1020px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; height: 600px; position: relative; background-color: #FFF; background-image: url(../images/grid.jpg); } #content { position: relative; } #header { height:380px; width:1020px; background-color: #F00; } #logo { height: 25px; width: 140px; margin-left: 40px; margin-top: 25px; float: left; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; } #faq { width: 100%; height: 25px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } #nav { width: 940px; position: relative; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } #contentleft { background-color: #930; width: 780px; float: left; margin-left: 40px; margin-top: -64px; position: absolute; } #contentright { float: right; width: 140px; margin-right: 40px; } #footer { background-color: #633; width: 940px; margin-left: 40px; clear:both; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171666-solved-cant-get-div-to-position-properly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
