Problem with extending my div to the bottom of the page
Question
I need help in extending my div to the bottom of the page when there is not enough content to do so, when I add a height of 100% to the content and container nothing changes and when I add it to the body everything messes up. I am trying to give as much information as possible and so have provided the CSS and HTML below.
CSS:
(all of it, a lot of it is probably unnecessary in regards to this problem sorry)
body {
background-color: #111014;
background-image: url("images/bg.png");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
color: #dad8df;
font-family: tahoma;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 1000px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
img{
border-style: none;
}
#banner {
margin-top: 45px;
margin-bottom: 38px;
height: 68px;
width: 1000px;
background-image: url("images/bannerbg.png");
}
#navigation {
height: 36px;
width: 1000px;
margin-left: 49px;
}
#content {
background-image: url("images/contentbg.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
height: 100%;
width: 850px;
padding-left:80px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
margin-bottom: -8px;
padding-right: 50px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#title {
height: 90px;
width: 542px;
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 36px;
background-image: url("images/titlebg.png");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
font-family: tahoma;
font-size: 2.5em;
color: #dad8df;
margin-left: -80px;
}
#slideshow {
height: 285px;
width: 840px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #2e2c35;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
#slideleft {
height: 38px;
width: 23px;
background-image: url("images/slideleft.png");
float: left;
margin-left: -60px;
margin-top: 104px;
}
#slideright {
height: 38px;
width: 23px;
background-image: url("images/slideright.png");
float: right;
margin-right: -50px;
margin-top: 104px;
}
#emailform {
color: #dad8df;
font-family: tahoma;
overflow: hidden;
}
.inputs {
float: right;
width: 200px;
font: .9em tahoma;
}
#largemessage {
float: right;
clear: both;
width: 700px;
height: 150px;
resize: none;
font: .9em tahoma;
}
#submit {
margin-top: 20px;
clear: both;
float: right;
}
hr {
border-width: 3px 0 0 0;
border-style: dotted;
}
.contacterror {
margin-right: 180px;
height: 20px;
width: 300px;
color: red;
float: right;
padding-left: 20px;
}

Usually, if you add
body, html{
height:100%;
}
the container div will inherit from it.

尝试使用一种称为Faux Columns的技术。

Try setting the height on your #container div to auto.
#container {
height:auto;
That should do it!

As the doc said:
The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (ie, it depends on content height), and this element is not absolutely positioned, the value computes to 'auto'
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#the-height-property
If adding html,body { height:100%; } html,body { height:100%; } mess up, it's certainly because browsers set default margin/padding for these elements.
The simpler solution for your problem is to set for #container min-height the viewport height and set it a background which will fake #content reaches the bottom. Faux columns as Nathaniel said.
