Subject: Re: [WSG] 2 Column Symetrical Stretching Layout?

Hi Drew,

I removed the 45% margin from #right but this still never worked:

This is what i did:
*
Before:* #right{width:45%; background-color:#00FF00; padding:0; margin:0 0 0
45%;}
*After:* #right{width:45%; background-color:#00FF00; padding:0; margin:0;}

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I dont want to resort to
tables to get a 50% 50% 2 column stretching layout.

Im a novice with CSS/XHTML, but i feel im picking it up fast, but this
simple layout i cant seem to do.

Cheers,

Josef

That's what happens when you rush an answer on Friday as you head out the
door and don't read the list on weekends. This code produces a red and a
green box which are side by each and have your 50px margin. What I did is
eliminate the width on main and make both boxes float. Rule of thumb: if you
have a width you need a float.

Below is the CSS for a two column layout, modify as you wish but follow the 
same basic coding.
Also if you visit A List Apart's web site their are many articles with code 
and tutorials for doing most any kind of layout and much more. Also the 
W3C.org site has the standards with illustrations for CSS and XHTML. Is 
there a particular reason you are using XHTML? Most of us use HTML 4.01 
standard for marking up web pages along with CSS of course.

Hi Fred,
thanks for that, ill give it a try soon and let you know how it all
goes. As for the HTML 4.01 comment, i think actual the majority of CSS
developers would use XHTML 1.0, as HTML 4.01 is out dated and has
deprecated elements nowadays, that dont conform with current web
standards. I suggest you move over to XHTML 1.0 plus many more user
agents understand XHTML. Anybody else wish to comment on this, cause i
always assumed CSS went hand in hand with XHTML 1.0.

Cheers again Fred

Hi David,
I tried that solution, but it also never worked, i uploaded it here:
http://www.burninthespotlight.com/cssprob/ll/css_50_50.htm
Is it really that difficult to create a simple 2 column layout in CSS? 
Im beggining to doubt CSS if this is the case. All i need is a 2 column 
layout with each column being 50% and when u stretch the browser each 
column increases (but both stay at 50%)

Here is a table version of what i am trying to acheive:

Well, my old list a table doesn't fill the browser-window, but the
method is the same no matter what it is supposed to fill.
http://www.gunlaug.no/homesite/main_8_7.html
... bilingual, select language on arrival.
Maybe it's a bit more than you asked for, but there's no tables
involved - just some CSS and (x)html-elements. Simplify it and use other
elements, and you can create pretty much any table look-alike you can
come up with.
My solution is flexible within a flexible column, and it will stay just
as flexible if you recreate it on its own. The code for that part is in
the page-head-- included IE/win corrections.
(Never - ever - underestimate CSS :) )

Maybe:
 #main {
    width:100%;
     padding:0 50px 0 50px;
 }
hmm. Then left and right won't really be 50% each. More like 50% minus  
100px. Maybe play with %s on those 2. Seems like it won't be  
pixel-perfect. Seems like you would need wiggle room.

HTH... a little maybe?? :-P

Hi everyone,
 I wondered if anyone knew of some code for a simple 2 column layout,  
imagine:

 50% Left Column
 50% Right Column
 And when you stretch the browser the 2 columns will stretch too, but  
always both stay 50% of the browsers width. I have tried setting up  
something like this:

div id=main
 div id=left/div
 div id=right/div
 /div
 #main {
     margin-left:50px;
     margin-right:50px;
 }
 #left {
     width:50%;
     float:left;
 }
 #right {
     width:50%;
     float:left;
 }
 But that only works in firefox, and i need this layout to be al all  
browser thing. Im sure its simple to do, but i cant seem to get it to  
work in IE.

 Thanks guys!

  hmm. Then left and right won't really be 50%
each. More like 50% minus 100px. Maybe play with %s on those 2. Seems
like it won't be pixel-perfect. Seems like you would need wiggle room.


HTH... a little maybe?? :-P

  Hi 
  Tom,Thanks for that solution, but unfortunately it doesnt work, 
  because i get a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page, in both 
  Firefox and IE. Does anyone else have any solutions for 
  this?ThanksJosefTom Livingston wrote:

Remove the 45% margin#right and it will work 
fine.
