I'm trying to get a page layout similar to https://material.angular.io. I used angular/flex-layout to create a combined flexbox/grid layout that works pretty much as intended. The innermost containers (navigation and content) were placed inside a CSS grid, but since it was basically only used as a 2-dimensional container, I thought I could easily replace that one with a column-flexbox. But only that results in this strange effect when scrolling down:
Flexbox (buggy) version
CSS Grid version
The navigation box on the left should behave sticky and not get pushed below the title toolbar.
Is it possible to only use flexbox for this kind of layout?
It looks like some of angular/flex-layout attributes were misconfigured along with some CSS styles. I started again and managed to create a version that behaves the same for CSS Grid and Flexbox:

There's a button in the second toolbar that lets you switch between the CSS grid and the flexbox version on the fly.

I have a div and apply the latest version of tinymce (4.2.5) to it, including some of my websites stylesheets.
When I use the editor old fashioned way the loaded css is only applied to the div I'm attaching tinymce to. Like a charm.
But I want to use the inline: true option. When I use that all the css is applied to the complete page of the application, not only the div.
Is this expected behavior? Or should I look for another approach? My main reason to use the inline feature is that it keeps the toolbar visible on scrolling. Unfortunately tinymce loads different sets of html for the inline and fixed toolbar (for example, the menu bar and icon/tool bar are separate div's. On inline they have a parent div) so just applying the same or similar css isn't working out.
Anybody has any tips or tricks for me? Or should I accept the limitations of one or the other?
You will have to accept the limitations.
Both editor modes need different css for the UI and in inline mode it seems to be necessary to apply it to the complete page (even though you don't like that).
I am implementing a multi column layout using the css3 column-count and column-gap options. Plenty of divs are arranged in 2 columns inside a main div. Problem is I want to use dropdown menus in the inner divs which overlap their borders.
The problem: The css3 columns option blocks the dropdowns from overlapping their parent div in Google Chrome. Tried changing z-index and overflow options.. Any ideas? Thanks!
Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/8CqzQkvP9emIWvSXBses?p=preview
Edit: Seems like chrome is handling css3 columns quite buggy in general. I see some more problems for example as soon as I put bootstrap glyphicons into the buttons. Often two clicks are required for opening the dropdown. Also firefox is distributing the divs much more evenly among the columns. Did not find anything about those problems..?
First off, z-index won't do anything on a nested element in comparison to its parents. Since you're trying to overlap a column, there's no element in the DOM for it to actually overlap. Columns aren't intended expressly for layout. Instead, they're intended to create readable long text on horizontal layouts.
What you're seeing in Chrome is coming directly from the W3C specification for multi-column layouts and how they should handle overflow. Setting overflow on anything here doesn't pertain to the columns, only to the column's container.
If you want to accomplish the layout you're after here, I would highly recommend you look into a grid system, like 960 Grid or Bootstrap's grid system.
I just started with ROR and I'm following the One Month Rails tutorial. This includes the Bootstrap responsive navbar. I now added some pins to my pinterest clone. I noticed that the scrolling does not work when the navbar is in full size. when i make the browserwindow smaller so the navigation gets into the small navigation symbol i can scroll the page. You can probably see best on my heroku link: morning-shore-7790.herokuapp.com
It would be great to get a hint on how to solve this.
Thanks a lot
Looks like you've nested the container class inside the navbar, which will always cause this behavior.
If you're using ERB it means you didn't close a div where you should have, if you're using haml or slim it's most likely an indentation oops. If you use chrome, safari or firefox you can see this clearly, just inspect the element and collapse the navbar, if all other content is contained within that, you still haven't fixed it.
If you still have questions post your layout and your index.
I have created a layout using DIVs/CSS. I have attached an example image and links below which shows how I would like things to be organized. Within the header, there is a logo and a menu which are cumulatively 1000px in width. The feature, content, and footer sections are also to be 1000px in width. However, the actual background images for ALL sections are 100% in width and are repeated horizontally.
Below is an example of what I want to do:
What I have actually put together so far (in terms of the design) can be viewed here: http://ohachem.com/2/. This is what I would like to follow. The CSS can be viewed here: http://ohachem.com/2/style.css
What is the best way to accomplish this? As you can see, the text in the "feature" section does not align completely in the centre. I've tried using clear:both, overflow:hidden, and several other methods, with no luck.
The "misalignment" of the "featured" text is caused by the floating logo. Because the float hasn't been cleared and extends outside of your header, it is causing that text to flow around it. Adding overflow: hidden to your #header element will correct it, but there's other ways to clear floats without adding extra markup.
Alternately, you could just make your logo the same height as the header. Right now the height property is set to the same value, but the logo has some extra padding, which is causing the overflow.
The website you're pointing to uses a liquid layout, here's a bunch of examples: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/category/C13/ .
One note, on your example, there's no positioning attributes that I can discern, a large part of making a layout responsive is ensuring it looks consistent across all browsers & screens.
I would Suggest you to use CSS3 Media Queries rather than Script for the Responsive/ Adaptive Web page design.
Please have a look at this
These do not process a lot, hence Light weight and most modern browsers and Devices support CSS3 hence a convenient and reliable Option.
I have a layout in which two divs appear stacked vertically inside a parent div which will be a specific height (due to containing a left hand menu). I wish the two divs to take up all the available vertical space. However, they must resize depending on their content. The easiest way to explain is with a diagram:
Reading the diagrams from top to bottom, this is the scenario:
both divs take up 50% of available height as this is sufficient to contain their content (this is the default).
there is a lot of content in top div and less content in bottom div. Top div expands to fit content and squashes bottom div.
reverse situation of (2).
both divs must expand to fit their content. Containing div must expand to accomadate.
I think I could figure out how to do this with a table, see the example here which is almost correct (in chrome anyway) except the outer div doesn't expand properly.
Is there a better CSS solution to this without using a table?
I cannot use JavaScript and solution must work in all browsers... including IE6 :(
.
This can be done using CSS, with a feature called the flexible box model. It's an extension to the box model that's been in use in CSS since the begining, and allows you to do stuff like vertical stacking, etc, which wasn't possible before.
You would start off with display: flexbox;, and then use other related styles to define the characteristics of the layout you want. It is very powerful. You can read the full W3C spec for it here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-flexbox/
Now the bad news: It's a very recent addition to CSS. It actually has reasonably good browser support (albeit with vendor prefixes), but the problem you'll always hit is that it isn't supported in IE, not even IE9 (though it is planned for IE10)
Other browsers require vendor prefixes, so even for supported browsers you'll need to write your styles in four or five versions.
In addition - and this is the real killer - there isn't a good fall-back solution for browsers that don't support it. If you design your page using flexbox layouts, and load it into a browser that doesn't support them, it will be a disaster.
For this reason, it is hasn't really seen much use in the real world yet. It's time will come, but as long as IE9 and earlier are in use, it won't become mainstream.
You can see a full browser compatibility chart for the feature here: http://caniuse.com/#search=Flexible%20Box%20Layout%20Module
In the meanwhile, you're going to have to use a Javascript solution.
My recommendation is the JQuery Masonry plugin. I think this will be your best solution for now.
You could fake it using a 100% height wrapping div and a white border like so:

You can also remove the fixed height and it will still work.
SuperStretch might get you part of the way there.
