I have a header on my page which is just over 100px (111px to be exact) The div below it needs to extend to the bottom of the viewport, as if i had set the bottom to 0px. The problem lies in the fact that i cannot specify top and bottom in ie6 (bug).
I can either specify top: 111px or bottom: 0px, but i still need the height to be correct ie. 100% -111px, according to the size of the viewport.
Can't seem to get expressions working coz that seems to be the solution
Here's my css code:
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
top: 111px;
bottom: 0px;
Any suggestions?
div{_x000D_
height:100vh;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div></div>
_x000D_
I added the height property to the body and html tags.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">header</div>
<div id="content">content</div>
</div>
CSS:
html, body
{
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#wrapper
{
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
#header
{
height: 111px;
}
100vh works for me, but at first I had used javascript (actually jQuery, but you can adapt it), to tackle a similar problw.
HTML
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">header</div>
<div id="content">content</div>
</div>
</body>
js/jQuery
var innerWindowHeight = $(window).height();
var headerHeight = $("#header").height();
var contentHeight = innerWindowHeight - headerHeight;
$(".content").height(contentHeight + "px");
Alternately, you can just use 111px if you don't want to calculate headerHeight.
Also, you may want to put this in a window resize event, to rerun the script if the window height increases for example.
I'm guessing that you are trying to get sticky footer
Now with css3 you could try to use calc()
.main{
height: calc(100% - 111px);
}
have a look at this answer: Div width 100% minus fixed amount of pixels
div{_x000D_
height:100vh;_x000D_
background-color:gray;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div></div>
_x000D_
Alternatively, you can just use position:absolute
:
#content
{
position:absolute;
top: 111px;
bottom: 0px;
}
However, IE6 doesn't like top and bottom declarations. But web developers don't like IE6.
Negative margins of course!
<div id="header">
<h1>Header Text</h1>
</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur
ullamcorper velit aliquam dolor dapibus interdum sed in dolor. Phasellus
vel quam et quam congue sodales.
</div>
</div>
#header
{
height: 111px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
#wrapper
{
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: -111px;
height: 100%;
position:relative;
z-index:-1;
}
#content
{
margin-top: 111px;
padding: 0.5em;
}
The best way to do this is to use view port styles. It just does the work and no other techniques needed.
Code:
div{_x000D_
height:100vh;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div></div>
_x000D_
