I have the following style for a div which is positioned in the center of the page
<div class="myStyle">Hi All...</div>
CSS Code:
<style>
.myStyle {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
when the virtual keyboard though opens up, the div is being pushed up. I don't understand why though. Any suggestions ?
This is because your viewport (or the element's closest relative positioned parent) is shrinking vertically. If you don't want it to move, you'll have to make sure the closest parent with a relative position has a fixed height.
Here's an example, the second div will move based on the height of the window (open the snippet Full Screen with Dev Tools opened)
.row {
width: 100vw;
}
.col {
width: 50%;
float: left;
position: relative;
background: #eee;
}
.col > div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
width: 100%;
background: #0095ee;
color: #fff;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col" style="height: 200px;"><div>My Y center is always 100px;</div></div>
<div class="col" style="height: 100vh;"><div>My Y xenter varies with Devtools/etc.</div></div>
</div>
It will adjust to top 50% from viewport. Try to fix some height to that div and give css like below. Odd effect will be reduced. For eg if height of the popup is 400px and width is 600px(Width you can give in percentage as well)
.div {
width:600px;
height:400px;
position:fixed;
margin : auto;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
}
But if you do not want to push div at all. Then you have to mention top in pixels. To make it work in all devices, you might have to use javascript for that. Like in javascript get the height of viewport, calculate the top you want specify based on viewport height. Apply calculated top in pixels.
For eg if top you want to specify as 50%. Then pseudo javascript code is below.
var divHeight = document.height;
var desiredTop = viewportHeight/2;
div.style.top = desiredTop;
But disadvantage of giving fixed top is there will be chance that div gets hidden behind the keyboard.

I have a div that is masked off in terms of its width. Inside, I have 2 divs of the same width floated, so 100% + 100%. This means that either the left is visible or the right is visible at any one time.
In fact, what I'm trying to achieve is almost exactly the same as this:
jquery slide div within a div
Just one difference though. The height of my parent isn't fixed, it's dependent on the child size. So when I apply position: absolute; to the parent, it all goes pear-shaped.
Any solutions to this? I can use flexbox if necessary as I don't support IE8/9.
CSS would be something like this
.outer-wrap {
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
width:300px;
}
.middle-wrap {
overflow:hidden;
position:absolute; // this doesn't work because it has no fixed height
left:0;
width:600px;
}
.middle-wrap.open {
right:0;
}
.inner-wrap {
float:left;
width:300px;
}
HTML
<div class="outer-wrap">
<div class="middle-wrap">
<div class="inner-wrap"></div>
<div class="inner-wrap"></div>
</div>
</div>
Another edit: I created a codepen, it's here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/oxwmex CLick on the two buttons on the far right, they switch between the states
As you noted, your solution doesn't work because .middle-wrap has no fixed height. Try it with the following settings (note: no floats, no absolute positions):
.outer-wrap {
overflow-x: hidden;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.middle-wrap {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
left: 0px;
}
.inner-wrap {
display: inline-block;
width: 300px;
vertical-align: top;
}
This will display the left of the two .inner-wraps within the visible part of .outer-wrap. To make the right .inner-wrap visible apply something like
jQuery(".middle-wrap").css("left", "-300px")
to the element or event you use for switching between the two inner-wraps. Or if you want it animated:
jQuery(".middle-wrap").aminmate({left: "-300px"})
(Plus another method to switch back to left: 0px)
The heigth of all elements is automatically adjusted to the heigth of the higher of the two .inner-wrap elements.
P.S. (edit): Erase the style="height:100px;" settings from the inner-wraps in the HTML, just fill them with some content to see it working.
i would like to put the button into the middle of the height of the page
i tried this :
top: 50%;
but it doesnot work i found here that have to push top margin
i found a code : margin-top: -300px;
can i use something like margin-top : -width:50% this would mean that the button will be in the middle , how can i code it ?
how to 100% center it , and then put the button under that so the firt will be 50% and the second 60% even if i resize the window
You can simply do this by positioning it absolute in its parent element and then you can center the button by translating it.
HTML
<body>
<div class="container">
<button>Centered button</button>
</div>
</body>
CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
button {
position: absolute;
top: 50%; //50% from top
left: 50%; //50% from left
//translate it so 50% from the width and heigth of the button will be subtracted thus centering the button
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
Working js fiddle here. Don't forget to add vendor prefixes!
Another option would be flexbox. You can find more information about flexbox centering here.
I am trying to align a div on top of my image. Horizontal alignment works fine, vertical offset however doesn't. Also, the background-color of #studentenlijn is not applied.
HTML Snippet:
<div id="container">
<div id="studentenlijn">STUDENTENLIJN</div>
<img src="http://lsvb.nl/s/lsvbheader.jpg" class="banner" />
</div>
Relevant CSS
#studentenlijn {
width: 10%;
height: 10%;
position: absolute;
top: 30%;
left: 72%;
background-color: #660000;
}

Any ideas?
Your body had a height of 0, thus affecting the height of the containers within it when you try to specify a percentage height. Another problem was that you had a floating image within your container div, and thus you need to hide the overflow in order for the container to properly calculate the heights of elements within.
I have made some minor changes to your fiddle here:
http://jsfiddle.net/YGeLA/1/
I added:
height: 100%; to the body element
overflow: hidden; to #container which forces the container to respect the height of all elements within it.
The size of your div is:
#studentenlijn {
width: 10%;
height: 10%;
}
So it'll be a % of the parent element. The parent element, your container, is:
#container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
At this point, your browser can't determine which size should have your block.
So you won't be able to center it (Since you can't center an element which have not a browser-determined size).
You can't see the background-color for the same reason. It is applied, but you won't see your colored block because his size is 0.
Try to solve it, and it would be easier to center your div. In case it doesn't help you, edit your post with your modification :)
the container height is 0px. so you can't give height 100%
you have to set height in px
look at this update
#container {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
line-height: 0;
}
.banner {
width:100%;
}
#studentenlijn {
width:200px;
height:30px;
position:absolute;
top:35px;
left:72%;
background-color:#660000;
line-height:30px
}

I have a middle container that takes up whatever vertical space is left on the screen. In it, I placed a Jquery scroller that is currently set to 200px:
.scroll-pane
{
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}
.horizontal-only
{
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
}
However, if I set .scroll-pane height to 100%, it just removes the scrollbar and stretches the whole page.
See JsFiddle here
How can I stop this? Thanks!
Here is my solution to this problem (jsfiddle). It uses markup like this:
<div id="top">...</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="middle">...</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">...</div>
The top and bottom divs are position absolutely at the top and bottom, with a width of 100%. The wrapper div has height: 100%, box-sizing: border-box, and top and bottom padding equal to the height of the top and bottom divs, respectively. This causes it to fill the viewport but have padding underneath the top and bottom divs. The middle div has a height of 100% so it fills the content box of the wrapper (i.e., 100% minus the top and bottom paddings). It has position: relative, which leaves you free to use height: 100% on both interior boxes.
Lastly, middleleft is positioned absolutely and middleright has a left margin equal to its width, which causes it to fill the remaining horizontal space.
height: 100% never works like you want it to. The CSS specifications dictate that it must equal the height of the browser window, or the closest parent block-level element with an absolute height specified. That means that this code will should not work as expected:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Want the body to fill the page? Too bad!</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.page {
padding-top: 50px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
}
.header {
margin-top: -50px;
height: 50px;
}
.body {
height: 100%;
background: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<div class="header">
<h1>Too bad!</h1>
</div>
<div class="body">
<p>Hello cruel world...</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
However, that works fine in Chrome. Why? I can only assume that Google decided to specifically go against web standards because in this case, the standards make no sense. Why would I want something to be the exact height of the browser window? The only time is a <div> wrapping the whole page; in this case a simple "height is relative to the parent block" rule works just fine without breaking expectations elsewhere.
There is a way around this, though. At least, that's what I wanted to say before I tried this in Firefox too. Another way to get height: 100% (with some restrictions) is with position: absolute. However, it would seem that Firefox isn't respecting position: relative on a display: table-cell element - probably those pesky standards again. Here's the code for this technique anyway, if you are interested:
#wrapper > div > #middleleft {
position: relative;
}
.scroll-pane {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
So what can you do? Well, unfortunately, I don't yet know the answer to that. A kludgy solution would be to have Javascript set the height to an absolute pixel value, and attach an event to window resizing in order to update that height. I'll get back to you if I find a better way.
I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do, but another method would be to set body height to 100%, then set scrollpane to "height: auto". Then for the "top" and "bottom" div's used fixed positioning, plus margin equal to top/bottom height.
body {
height: 100%;
}
.top {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
}
.middle {
height: auto;
margin: 100px auto;
}
.bottom {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
}
<div class="top">content</div>
<div class="middle">content</div>
<div class="bottom">content</div>
Try that...
I have a CSS background image that will stay centered no matter what the browser size is. The image used does not stretch the entire width of the browser. This being the case, I need the divs I have also placed in the CSS with background images and links to maintain their position relative to the background image that stays centered no matter what the browser size is.
I have dabbled around with.
position:relative;
but it cascades all the elements and doesn't allow specific positioning that I am looking for. Here is the code I am working with. I appreciate any insight to my newb question, and look forward to learning how this behaves better.
When this code is viewed on different sized browsers, with a background image that does not span the entire width, the elements move around because they are set to percentage. I need them to stay where they are but remain centered with the background. I am not sure how to write this in CSS and have been struggling with it for some time. Thankyou for any guidance on this specific issue.
body {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
}
#logo {
margin: 0px 11%;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
}
try grouping elements you want to put next to it together inside a div ~say container~ and set the background to the div.
Then set the div ~container~ position to relative and center it.
Then align other elements using position absolute and top bottom left right property wrt the ~container~div.
here is the code for it
<div id="container">
<div id="element1"></div>
<div id="element1"></div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
width: 800px; height: 400px
position: relative;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
margin-top: -200px; margin-left: -400px }
#element1 {
position: absolute;
top: -30px; left: -20px;}
#element2 {
position: absolute;
top: 410px; left: 820px;}
</style>
