I have a section that i want to scale using aspect ratio, but also keep it at a maximum and minimum height. Somehow the max-height property doesn't apply to this, meanwhile the min-width works just fine.
div {
background: green;
border-bottom: 2px solid red;
padding-top: 60%;
max-height: 100vh;
min-height: 450px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div></div>
What i'm trying to achieve is to display content that has a fixed aspect ratio, it scales down until reaches a minimum height, but also won't exceed the viewport height when displayed in a wider browser. See attached image for explanation:
Any ideas?
Ok, if I understand correctly, you'd need to do have the height of the box linked to the width at a percentage (which I'd do by setting the height to viewport width units rather than viewport height - in my example I've set it to 75%). That way the box stays in pro when it's not being constrained by max-height or min-height.
html,
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #00ff00;
}
.box {
width: 100%;
height: 75vw;
max-height: 100vh;
min-height: 400px;
background-color: #ff0000;
}

Currently I'm trying to fix a div class to always be 80% of the screen size if that's possible? I don't want the div to resize when I change the size of my browser, would I be better using media queries?
.main{
width: 80%;
min-width: 80%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #ffffff;
overflow: hidden;
}
You write
I don't want the div to resize when I change the size of my browser
Well, then use a fixed width in pixels:
.main{
width: 600px; /* or whatever value you wish */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #ffffff;
overflow: hidden;
}
If you always want your div to be 80% of screen size. use viewport units. vw in your case which means viewport width.
This way your div will always be 80vw out of 100vw which is the full viewport size.
See below
.main {
height:100px;
width:80vw;
background:red;
}
<div class="main"> </div>
The main content div #page-content-wrapper is shaded a light grey in color.
How can the height of this div be extended such that the bottom of this div is at the bottom of the screen? height: 100%; does not seem to work.
Content is growable to beyond 1 viewport height, forcing vertical scroll to be necessary.
CSS
#page-content-wrapper {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
padding: 15px;
background: #ddd;
height: 100%;
}
Bootply: http://www.bootply.com/kkrDITPGrO
Use height: 100vh ... or give #wrapper and html, body also height: 100%
For an element to respond to a height using percent, its parent need a height, and if the parent also use percent, you need to go all the way to the html/body element for it to be able to calculate its height on something other than auto.
Updated bootply
Update based on comment
For content to be able to grow, use min-height: 100vh ... or min-height: 100% using the same "percent" principle as above
#page-content-wrapper {
min-height: 100vh;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
padding: 15px;
background: #ddd;
}

I'd like to know if it's possible to make a div responsive and at the same time make its content scrollable within certain dimensions (max/min height).
Here is my attempt
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/rVEbWG
While the width is responsive the height remains the same (while I would like it to be 100px min and 400px max).
.wrapper {
overflow: auto;
max-height: 400px;
width: 50%;
}
.content {
overflow-y: auto;
}
Simple, just use the vh css unit for the height, like so: height: 100vh
.wrapper {
overflow: auto;
height: 100vh;
width: 50%;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.content {
overflow-y: auto;
}
The 1 vh unit is relative to 1% of the height of the viewport, meaning that your div will be dependent on the height of your viewport.
If your viewport will be smaller than the div, you will be able to scroll trough it.
I have this code:
body
{
margin: 0;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.cont
{
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #000;
}
<div class="cont"></div>
<br>
Chrome (and other browsers with the same engine) ignore the width of vertical scrollbar.
How I can fix it?
Thanks!
Because the vw/vh unit takes into account the size of the entire viewport when sizing and does not take into account the width of the scroll bar. A simple fix is to limit the max-width of the .cont element to not exceed the width of the document.
.cont
{
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #000;
max-width: 100%; /*limit width*/
}
I'm using the technique from this answer to create a DIV that maintains its aspect ratio when the browser viewport is resized.
However, I want the DIV to only get so big and then stop. But, if I apply max-width: 300px; to the containing div, the div will stop expanding its width when the viewport gets big enough, but the height keeps going, losing the aspect ratio. If I apply max-height: 60px;, it has no effect whatsoever.
How do I get a div to expand with the width of a viewport, maintain its aspect ratio, and stop expanding both height and width at a specified maximum width?
Live code here.
body {
width: 36%;
margin: 8px auto;
}
div.stretchy-wrapper {
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
position: relative;
max-width: 300px;
background: blue;
}
div.stretchy-wrapper > div {
position: absolute;
top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
color: white;
font-size: 24px;
text-align: center;
}
It looks like the issue is because of the padding which increases the height by % based on resize
below is the example in which i have added box-sizing:border-box; and gave height which on resize remains the same

One possible solution seems to be to simply create a containing div around the wrapper div, and apply max-width to that.
