I have div that contai开发者_如何学运维ns 2 divs in it. One of the child divs has static height 2em, and I want the other one to vertically fill the rest of the space of the parent div. How do I do this?
Edit: I need the parent div to fill the screen.
This depends on exactly what you want to achieve. Getting a fixed top and variable bottom where the container is only as large as it needs to be for the two children.
Assuming:
<div id="parent">
<div id="top"></div>
<div id="bottom"></div>
</div>
use:
#top { height: 2em; }
and the bottom div will be as large as it needs to be. You can make the bottom fixed height and achieve the same thing.
But I suspect what you want to do is have the outer div fixed height (say 100%). That gets much harder. The problem is that there is no way in CSS of saying "height of 100% minus 2em" without using an (ill-advised) CSS expression.
One approach is to overlay the top with the bottom.
#outer { position: relative; }
#top { position: absolute; height: 2em; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; }
#bottm { height: 100%; padding-top: 2em; }
The top div actually overlays the bottom. This is fine so long as you don't want a border.
You can use Faux Columns if you're using an image for the background or just move the background color back to #parent to give the appearance of filling the screen with the #bottom div. It would fill the page by giving it a 100% height (as long as html and body also get height: 100%).
Example:
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#parent { height: 100%; background: #f08; }
#top { height: 2em; background: #80f; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent">
<div id="top">TOP DIV</div>
<div id="bottom">THE REST</div>
</div>
Since CSS is just about styling, giving the appearance of 100% height is the same as having 100% height. Right?
