CSS Alignment in DIV tag

[prasanna2166]

Hello Everyone,

 

As I am a novice, posting this simple question.

 

Am trying to design my first webpage using PHP. I have successfully created a wrapper page (index.php) as in the attachment whereas I get into trouble when I try to include PHP content pages into index.php.

 

 

The real problem occurs in the alignment and not with the include command. The problem seems not to go away even if I match the height and width of #contentsize to #rcontent.

 

 

 

PHP:

 

<div id="rcontent">

<div id=contentsize>

<?php

include 'home.php';

?>

</div>

</div>

 

CSS:

#rcontent

{

width:894px;

height:530px;

background-color:blue;

float:right;

border-color:white;

border-width:5px 3px 5px 3px;

border-style:solid;

}

 

#contentsize

{

width:894px;

height:530px;

}

 

Could someone help me out? 

Expected Result: PHP contents should fit in blue box.

 

Thanks in Advance!!

The problem is you are setting a height and it follows that rule.

 

If you want the content to continue try a min-height

#rcontent
{
width:894px;
min-height:530px;
background-color:blue;
float:right;
border-color:white;
border-width:5px 3px 5px 3px;
border-style:solid;
}

#contentsize
{
width:894px;
min-height:530px;
}

if you want to retain the content within that area try a max-height and overflow: auto;

#rcontent
{
width:894px;
min-height:530px;
background-color:blue;
float:right;
border-color:white;
border-width:5px 3px 5px 3px;
border-style:solid;
}

#contentsize
{
width:894px;
max-height:530px;
overflow: auto;
}

just height overflow

overflow-x: auto;

 

just width overflow
overflow-y: auto;

Mixed them up

 

just width overflow

overflow-x: auto;

 

just height overflow
overflow-y: auto;

 

Ohh, and make sure you quote your attributes

<div id="contentsize">
