I'm pretty new to coding so it may be that I do not understand what I'm doing. I've tried every bit of code advice given on this website that seems to pertain to my situation and I cannot get results!
My carousel sliders are outside my images and I need them in/on my images. I want them the size they currently are so viewers do not have to scroll up and down to view my entire picture. You can view my predicament at http://mirandarodgers.com/lenoxhouse.html
Like I said, I've tried everything under the sun. Currently my code just says:
.carousel .item{
min-height: 525px; /* Prevent carousel from being distorted if for some
reason image doesn't load */
}
.carousel .item img{
margin: 0 auto; /* Align slide image horizontally center */
position: absolute;
min-width: 100%;
height: 525px;
max-width: none;
}
I'm ashamed of how much of a hack this is, but it might help you out:
.right {
right: calc(100vw / 2 - 374px);
}
.left {
left: calc(100vw / 2 - 374px);
}
So to solve this I gave both the images and the .carousel a fixed max-height (I used 400px).
.carousel .item img,
.carousel {
max-height: 400px;
}
You vertical images will scale to a height of this value.
You can play around with different max-height values and even have the height depend upon the screen size using CSS Media Queries.
Whats happening is that the slider images are aligned to the sides of the actual carousel itself, if you want to restrict the size of the carousel set a max-width on it. This is because the size of your images cannot fit the width/height of the carousel and there isn't any code for resizing the img or the carousel. If you work on the resizing of your elements it should solve the problems you are having and try to find better images that are roughly the same dimensions or the carousel will expand/shrink unexpectedly if it isn't handled correctly.
I added the following to .carousel and it looked much better on the site.
.carousel {
max-width: 70%;
position: relative;
margin: auto;
}
Also i would add an img tag with
img {
max-width:100%
}
And this
.carousel .item {
max-height: 525px;
}

I just want to preface this with while Bootstrap carousel is being used, it's been greatly customized (though not by me) to be used in a SharePoint web part. I feel like that's important to note since there's potentially a lot going on in this particular environment that does/could affect the CSS.
That being said, I'm having troubles making the Bootstrap carousel responsive. I moved a lot of the styles around, but this is the latest iteration:
#Carousel {
max-width: 400px;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 926px) {
#Carousel {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 40%;
}
#Carousel .carousel-indicators, #jbCarousel .carousel-inner, #jbCarousel .control-container {
position absolute;
width: 100%;
}
}
I want the #Carousel container to be at most 400px; I tried to keep its aspect ratio, too. This doesn't work, what happens is that it stays 400px no matter how the window is resized. And since the children I set above are at width: 100%, they're also set at 400px, so nothing actually changes in size.
I am working on a website that has a slideshow right under the header. I want to limit the height of the slideshow responsively so that if it leaves 20-30% of the viewport on one screen resolution, it will do the same on the other. Currently my CSS looks like this.
#slideshow-container {
height: 70vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#slideshow-container img {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
The images scale responsively and I'm using the viewport units to accomplish what I want. However, viewport units aren't very cross-browser compatible so I'm looking for a way to accomplish the same idea across all browsers. I'd prefer to only use CSS and not JavaScript or jQuery.
Since I do not know your markup, it's more difficult to help.
I'd do it with following lines of CSS:
/*reset stuff so that body fits the entire viewport*/
html,
body {
height:100%;
width:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#slideshow-container {
height:70%;
...
}
This should do the job.
But in my opinion there's propably no reason for not using viewport units since it's supported in most current browsers: http://caniuse.com/viewport-units
The only problem shall be the mobile devices (and IE, of course).
I am relatively new to front-end dev so a bit lost as to how i can go about this. I created a container that contains a slider and some images. My supervisor has a huge screen so obviously there will be empty space at the bottom of the screen. So he doesn't want that. Instead he wants the container to be centered horizontally and vertically based on the size of the user's screen.
How can I do this properly with as minimal code as possible? I believe there is jQuery plugin but wanted to see if there is a better way or if doing this makes sense at all or not?
Due to the flow-based nature of CSS, without Javascript this can only be done if the vertical size of the centered element is fixed, by applying a position:absolute' andtop:50%` within a fixed container, and then use negative margin to offset the container. Click here for JSFiddle Sample.
Alternatively the same effect can be reached by using display:table-cell, but that's kind of messy and loses you a lot of flexibility. Sample already supplied in the other answer here so I'll save myself the effort :)
You can do it easily using a vertical-align property.
Since vertical-align works the desired way way only in a table cell, this trick with display property can give you the desired effect.
#yourDiv {
// give it a size
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
html {
display: table;
}
body {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
See a fiddle with demo.
Try this:
HTML:
<div class="center"></div>
CSS:
.center {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -150px;
background-color: red;
}

Exactly Center an Image/Div Horizontally and Vertically:

Here's the page: http://www.thresholds.org.uk/museums-collections-poets/kettles-yard/
It looks great in Chrome even when you resize the browser, everything looks great. However, in Firefox, columns overlap one another and images don't resize.
The main grid classes are .c-1 (the smaller width column) and .c-2 (the width of two .c-1 columns). Whats going on in my code to cause this problem?
For quick reference, I'm using CSS3 box-sizing: border-box for my grid, here's the code for my .c-1 and .c-2 classes:
.c-1 {
width: 288px;
float: left;
margin-left: 28px;
display: block;
}
.c-2 {
width: 604px;
float: left;
margin-left: 28px;
display: block;
}
.c-1:first-child, .c-2:first-child, .c-1:nth-child(4n+1) { margin-left: 0; }
I'm also using the following code for responsive images:
img {
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
vertical-align: middle;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 1.875em;
}
EDIT Ok I've seemed to have fixed the responsive images for most sections now. A classname of .active was missing a width value but I've still got a crazy problem with the Blog section. Even though the same layout has been used on that page (.c-1 and .c-2 inline together) this section seems to overlap one another...odd!
Ok well it seems Firefox doesn't like calculating widths of elements when these elements don't have a width specified, which explains why responsive images were not working. An image set to max-width must have a container with a set width otherwise images won't scale.
I thought browsers defaulted elements to 100% width, if a width hasn't been specified in the CSS?
Anyways, all fixed now. Put widths on your wrappers people!
I came across the website http://www.swiftkey.net.
On my widescreen I see the gray background on the sides of the content area..On my regular(1024x768) the grey bars are not there.
How do they acheive this effect?
Using firebug, I was able to decipher what I think MIGHT be doing this:
.w1 {
float: left;
width: 1600px;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
.w2 {
float: left;
width: 1600px;
position: relative;
}
I do have experince with CSS and HTML, but the above code is a little bit cryptic to me, especially considering w2 is inside w1.
I'm answering this under the assumption that the grey bars you're talking about are the ones shown in the second sample image:
The simple answer is that the page uses a wrapper with a static maximum width that is horizontally centered:
#wrapper {
max-width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto; //centers a block element
}
The grey bars are created by having a background color on the <body> or <html> elements:
body {
background-color: #888;
}
I haven't checked the source to see where these styles are specifically set, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
This has to accomplished with javascript screen object
var scr=window.screen;
var availwidth=scr.availWidth;
var width=scr.width;
var availh=scr.availHeight;
var height=scr.height;
availWidth and availHeight gives actual available width and height, considering taskbars and scrollbars etc.
width and height give the actual screen resolution. Then access the variables and decide the type of layout.
However adjusting anything to center is easy
div
{
width:1024px;
position:absolute;
left:50%;
margin-left:-512px;
}
the javascript screen width tracing is for more control options
