How do I make two-column layout so that the height of both columns is 100%?

2009-11-12T03:28:54Z

Assume that

I want a two-column layout, say 200px wide navi and 400px wide content.
Either column can have an arbitrary amount of text (so I can't assume that the content is always taller than the navigation, for example).
I'd like both columns to have the same height, which is the maximum of the heights they would naturally have.

There are lots of 2-column layout examples on the web, but they either depend on the other column always being taller, or use tricks like colored background images of fixed width.

Are tables or javascript the only options?

CSS: inline, embedded, external or external parse

2009-10-19T16:21:35Z

I was thinking about server load times and wondering what the most efficient way to add css is. What gets loaded fastest?

For my part, I think the external css is the easiest to maintain as a project scales, but sometimes you need a lot of these stylesheets for large scale websites with a lot of varying sections. What about parsing several css sheets on load?

as for snippets:

inline:

<div style="float: left;" class="left">hi</div>

embedded:

<head>
    .left { float: left }
</head>
<body>
    <div class="left">hi</div>
</body>

external:

 <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">     
 </head>
 <body>
     <div class="left">hi</div>
 </body>

parsing:

How do you make rounded corners in all browsers?

2009-10-03T03:05:13Z

CSS? JQuery? What's the best and most efficient way to make rounded corners that work in all browsers? I've tried a few and right now I'm making small divs that are positioned negatively outside of the relatively positioned parent divs. Instead of foreground images, I use sprites so the corner divs are less invasive. (ha ha I should give them shorter class names too)

since I'm asking for a snippet - I'll leave a snippet of what I do.

<div id="container">
    <div class="corner-top-left"></div><div class="corner-top-right"></div>
    <div class="corner-bottom-left"></div><div class="corner-bottom-right"></div>
</div>
#container 
{
    display: block;
    height: 300px;
    position: relative;
    width: 500px;
}
.corner-top-left, .corner-top-right, .corner-bottom-left, .corner-bottom-right
{
    background: url(corner.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
    display: block; 
    height: 10px;
    position: absolute;
    width: 10px;
}
.corner-top-left { top: -10px; left: -10px;}
.corner-top-right { background-position: x x; top: -10px; right: -10px;} 
.corner-bottom-left { background-position: x x; bottom: -10px; left: -10px;} 
.corner-bottom-right { background-position: x x; bottom: -10px; right: -10px;}

looking for a little bit of js that will randomly choose content.

2010-01-09T15:29:05Z

I have a stackexchange site, vfxoverflow.com, and I would like yo place content in a box at random, or cycle through or whatever. For example, there are some tips or prompts such as:

"Please vote up good questions"
"Don't post answers as comments, make a new answer"
"Don't post comments in the answer field"

I would like to put one in the question banner - a different one each refresh.

Thanks

How can I display formatted rss data in a DIV

2009-10-23T19:33:07Z

I'd like to display the title and a snippet of the last 2 or 3 entries of an RSS feed on another site.

I do not have access to a server-side technology on the receiving page, only Javascript/JQuery.

What do I need in order to get that done?

If statements and ranges

2009-10-13T17:23:45Z

I have a JQuery script that I'm working on and in part of it, I am comparing a value to make sure it is within a specific integer range.

This is what my first attempt looks like:

if (levelCounter < 0) { levelCounter = 0; }
if (levelCounter > maxLevels) { levelCounter = maxLevels;}

I'm hoping there's a shorter more efficient way to do this - I can't think of it off the top of my head.

community server SiteUrls.config and vanity

2009-10-15T19:41:53Z

How can I manipulate the vanity element in a url node? This is more of a general question, because I know I can get by with vanity={2}, but a lack of proper understanding is holding me back from truly mastering my community server site.

I've seen examples like this in the SiteUrls.config:

<url name="post_InPage_Old" path = "{0}/ShowThread.aspx#{1}" pattern = "(\d+)/ShowThread.aspx" vanity="{2}?PostID=$1^PermaPost=$2^UrlName=permalink" page="ForumUrlHandler.ashx" />

but the format confuses me. What are the $1 and $2? Where are they set?

2009-10-23T16:49:08Z

I have a bunch of divs that have the same class on them. They are created dynamically, so I can't assign any further classes to differentiate them. Is there anything I can do to make one have red text for example if it's a certain tag like "photoshop"?

JQuery how can I use show/hide and opacity?

2009-10-23T03:51:19Z

This goes for all effects except for slideUp/slideDown.

If I set opacity for an id/class that I'm manipulating with show/hide or fadeIn/fadeOut, my opacity is set to 1 (100%) instead of whatever I've set it as in the css. Is there any way to override that behaviour?

Use jQuery hosted by Google or hosted by Microsoft?

2009-10-05T04:50:02Z

They both offer jQuery hosting now - which should I use? I'm leaning towards the Microsoft option since they also host the jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js file which means I get full Intellisense support in Visual Studio.

Thoughts?
