I'm trying to achieve the following layout, where the section on the left is two columns and wraps around a floated element on the top right. The solution I encountered works on Chrome but not Safari.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to accomplish this with cross browser compatibility?
My current solution: https://jsfiddle.net/waverly/62nk2zxv/1/
.col-1 {
column-count: 2;
}
.description {
margin-top: 200px;
padding: 50px 0 50px 50px;
}
.paragraph {
padding: 0px 0 50px 50px;
}
.col-2 {
position: relative;
float: right;
padding: 50px 0 50px 50px;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}

I want to create a side navigation, which should be full height of the browser window. Each menu item (DT) has additional element (DD) where I will put some filters later on. When I click a menu item, its additional element opens, and pushes all other closed items to bottom of the menu. The problem is that once it's opened the size of the parent DL exceeds the screen instead of staying full height.
Could you please suggest a solution to resolve the issue.
HTML
<dl>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd class="active">Filters</dd>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd>Filters</dd>
</dl>
CSS
body, html{
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
dl{
display: block;
margin: 0;
width: 200px;
background: grey;
height: 100% !important;
}
dt{
background: #ccc;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
dd{
display: none;
margin: 10px;
}
dd.active{
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
JSFIDDLE
Please do remove dd.active { height: 100% } and check it...
Think this will help you.
The !important declaration is unnecessary. If you know the number of menu items (e.g. 2) and their height (e.g. 40px), maybe this could help:
dd.active {
height: calc(100% - 80px);
}
An alternative (and equally inelegant) solution would be to use tables. Setting the table height to 100% will automatically stretch the rows with unspecified height to fill the remaining space (so only the rows that correspond to the menu items should have their height specified).
My solution:
<dl>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd class="active">Filters</dd>
<dt>Item</dt>
<dd>Filters</dd>
</dl>
body, html{
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
dl{
display: table; /*changed*/
margin: 0;
width: 200px;
background: grey;
height: 100% !important;
}
dt{
background: #ccc;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
dd{
display: none;
margin: 10px;
}
dd.active{
display: table-row; /*changed*/
height: 100%;
}
UPDATED JSFIDDLE
I'm trying to indicate the active link, using a triangle-shaped CSS "cut-out" (the triangle is cut out of the white header.
http://codepen.io/Goatsy/pen/xVvRmZ
/*
.container {
width: 1200px;
}
*/
How do I "cut out" the red triangle from both the contained header and full-width background (red) block? I need to cut out the triangle to expose underlying photo.
The header works great, but as soon as the full-width red block is applied to the background layer of contained header, it "fills in" the triangle cut-out.
UPDATE:
I created a flexbox within a flexbox. Unfortunately, the contained header is not exactly 1200px, and this will be difficult to apply to the overall layout.
http://codepen.io/Goatsy/pen/xVvRmZ
.wrapper-whole {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 134px;
margin: auto;
}
.flexy {
background: #f00;
flex: 2;
height: 134px;
}
.wrapper { /* wraps contained header navbar */
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 134px;
border-left: 15px solid #fff;
border-right: 15px solid #fff;
max-width: 1200px;
margin: auto;
flex: 6;
}
Instead of cutting it out from a background, you could create the illusion of a background by making red elements on each side of the white header using :before and :after pseudo-elements.
In http://codepen.io/anon/pen/MyNpdX, I added the following CSS:
.wrapper {
/* the stuff that was already here */
position: relative;
}
.wrapper:after, .wrapper:before{
content: "";
background-color: #f00;
width: 4000px;
position: absolute;
height: 134px;
top: 0;
}
.wrapper:before{
margin-right: 15px;
right: 100%;
}
.wrapper:after{
left: 100%;
margin-left: 15px;
}
Too many questions:
let me try to answer the ones I've understood.
I'll keep editing this answer as I go:
to contain something: you can have the following parent div
.parent {
max-width: 1200px;
overflow: hidden;
}
this way a child red div, would not appear outside parents constraint.
you can achieve css-triangles as:
.arrow-up {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 15px solid transparent;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 15px solid black;
}
<div class="arrow-up"></div>
p.s.: you're codepen is so far behind the layout in question, that it's hard to hands-on fix the problem
Place the contained flexbox header, inside of another flexbox.
Place one (red) block on left of header and one (red) block on right.
Create max-width for white header:
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.wrapper { /* wraps contained header navbar */
min-width: 1200px;
}
}

I've coded my website for all browsers but of course IE has issues. Specifically only IE 7. I'm hoping to find a resolution to why it's behaving the way it is with two issues and what I can add so IE will display it properly.
My submit buttons are aligning to the bottom of their containing divs.
CSS for the SUBMIT button for the SEARCH field
#searchform { /*container widget */ position: relative; left: 15px; width: 97%; height: 30px; background-color: #f3f3f3; border: 2px solid #742222;}
#searchform label { display: none; }
#searchform input#s { width: 75%; height: 20px;}
input[type=text],input#s { margin: 0 10px 0 0; width: 60%; }
#searchsubmit{ position: relative; float: right; width: 30px; height: 30px; text-indent: -999px; background: url(http://averylawoffice.ca/img/SEARCH-submit.jpg) center; border: 0px;}
This CSS works in all browsers but IE version 7. Is there a way to make it top align without having to position absolute?
I've managed to move the SUBMIT button up (to the correct position) by left-floating the text-box.
.subscription_email {
...
float: left;
}
Same goes for the search text-box:
#s {
...
float: left;
}
By making those changes, the resulting presentation will be exactly the same as in Firefox.
UPDATE: Here's a jsFiddle.
I want it to look like this:
... but it looks like this:
The #container is horizontally centered, and must stay so. Can't seem to get this right...
this happens when you float boxes side by side, one box to the left, the other to the right, both having width:50%. But padding, margins and border unintentionally increase the width of the boxes causing them to be more than 50% and forcing the right box to move under the previous box.
try setting static width to the boxes (will need calculation)

Bryan Downing in the comments gave me a clue.
I added
footer #container {
position: relative;
top: -XXXpx;
}
Works perfect. Big thanks to you wizards :)
This should be useful for others. jsFiddle with answer. Code below:
header, #container, section, footer, footer img#iphone { display: block; }
header {
background: url('images/header.jpg') repeat-x;
height: 160px;
border: 5px solid #aa3;
color: #aa3;
}
header img#logo {
margin: 0 auto;
}
#container {
width: 550px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
border: 5px solid #33a;
color: #33a;
}
section {
float: left;
width: 310px;
height: 200px;
border: 5px solid #3a3;
color: #3a3;
}
footer {
background: url('images/footer.jpg') repeat-x;
height: 150px;
border: 5px solid #aa3;
color: #aa3;
}
footer #container {
position: relative;
top: -320px;
}
footer img#iphone {
float: right;
height: 400px;
width: 204px;
border: 5px solid #a33;
color: #a33;
}
I have a similar problem to this question Why does my floated left div go to the next line in IE6 using the 960.gs?
In my design, the subcategories should be 4 per row. They look fine in FF,Safari,Chrome, but in ie6 they only show 3 per row. I tried creating a different css for ie6, but it didnt work, also i tried reducing the width and padding of each row, but still i have 3 subcategories per row.
I asked again because i bet the solution can be very specific to the css you have.
try setting width of each .subcategory at 24% or max 237px
.subcategory
{
width:24%;
}
updated
in category.css change in this way:
.subcategory {
FLOAT: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px; WIDTH: 24%; HEIGHT: 230px; TEXT-ALIGN: center
}
.category-item-image {
DISPLAY: block; BACKGROUND: #fff; MARGIN: 5px 30px; WIDTH: 170px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; HEIGHT: 170px; oveflow: hidden
}
.subcategory-image {
DISPLAY: block; BACKGROUND: #fff; MARGIN: 5px 30px; WIDTH: 170px; PADDING-TOP: 5px; HEIGHT: 170px; oveflow: hidden
}
Problems are
MARGIN: 5px 34px;
and
WIDTH: 25%;
I've tried to set them at 30px and 24% and in IE6 it works!
