I'm trying to get a pure CSS parallax effect working without having a fixed background height. This has been described in a few places, but they have the common constraint that the background layer must have a fixed, known height.
I would like to get the effect working without having a fixed, known height for the background due to some dynamic content.
My minimal example is here: https://jsfiddle.net/yf8oyben/
#container {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
perspective: 1px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.background {
transform: translateZ(-1px) scale(2);
width: 100%;
background: lightgreen;
height: 250px; /* Assumes bg height */
position: absolute; /* Assumes bg height */
top: calc(125px - 50vh); /* Assumes bg height */
}
.foreground {
background: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5);
width: 100%;
position: absolute; /* Assumes bg height */
top: 250px; /* Assumes bg height */
}
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id="group1">
<div class="background">
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
<center>Banner</center>
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
</div>
<div class="foreground">
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
<center>Content</center>
<div style="height: 100rem"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
It works now but assumes that the background is 250px, as annotated in the CSS. Is it possible to remove this and still retain the effect as it currently is?
You can achieve this parallax effect without knowing the height of the banner. you just need to drop the absolute positioning and adapt the perspective-origin and transform-orign properties They need to be positioned one on top of the other.
Here is a demo: CSS only parallax effect
*{margin:0;padding:0;}
#wrap{
position:fixed;
width:100%; height:100%;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
perspective: 1px;
perspective-origin:0 0;
}
.bg{
background:teal;
transform-origin:0 0;
transform: translateZ(-1px) scale(2);
}
.bg img{
display:block;
width:100%; height:auto;
}
.cont{
position:relative;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
color:#fff;
padding:5%;
}
.cont *{
max-width:900px;
margin:5% auto;
}

Currently still doing my project and I'm trying to find out how to position headings in certain places. Figure 1 is my final goal for my headings to look like.
[Figure 1][1]
Currently this is what mine looks like (Figure 2), I am struggling to position the heading to a similar spot, every time I do, the paragraphs and the navbar move further down leaving a big white gap between the headings & paragraphs.
Also was wondering how would I level out the image with the text & navbar?
Thanks in advance, much appreciated.
[Figure 2][2]
I believe this is what you wanted:
preview
Basically, you could wrap the header (image + text) into a CSS flexbox, and the rest of the stuff into another flexbox. I edited the CSS file to reflect these changes. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

create a div around h1 and h3
.header{

}
this will put the header in the middle of the area vertically. make sure the padding or margin is minimal
I'm trying to make the text of this parallax effect NOT to scroll down at the same as the effect.
I believe it has something to do with the html CSS code(overflow), I've tried putting into different places but it did not work. Is there any way to make my parallax work as it is now and while you scroll down the text will still be fully visible? Cause as soon as you scroll down the parallax AND the text scroll as well but by the time you reach the text, some have already scrolled up.

Your container class needs to be positioned relative to its parent for it to show up in front of the parallax background.
.container {
max-width: 95%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
You'll need to add some background color to separate it visually as well.
Here's a Codepen demo with a similar effect and its accompanying article.
(EDIT: my current code added to bottom of post)
I need to set a value for the height of the div in order for it to hide/scroll overflow properly, but I don't want a div at a specific pixel height. I can solve that by using % or vh units, but I don't actually want to use those units. By that, I mean I don't want my div to always be, for example, 2/3 of the page, because that means the bottom of the div will be a different distance from the bottom of the browser window, like this-
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body > div {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
background: yellow;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style2.css">
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
-I want it to be a consistent distance from the bottom of the browser window,
like this-
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
div {
background-color: yellow;
width: 350px;
position: fixed;
left: 10px;
top: 10px;
right: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style2.css">
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
(for visual representation primarily, I am not really using the code itself as an example)
Basically, I want my div to be a variable height and hide/scroll overflow, but always 10px from the bottom.
I think these describe the same problem I'm having:
Setting a length (height or width) for one element minus the variable length of another, i.e. calc(x - y), where y is unknown
Getting a scrollable child div to Vertically fill the remainder of its parent dynamically
The answers there are to use tables or flexbox - are these the only options (without using javascript)?

margin: 0;
padding: 0;

You're on the right track! You can combine vh with calc to get the desired effect.
height: calc(100vh - 10px) - assuming the element is positioned at the top of the screen, that'll achieve the effect you're describing.
To handle scroll/overflow, you'll need an inner container - a div inside the one you set the height property on. Give that inner div { height: 100%; overflow: auto; } and you should be all set.
Here's a demo - to see it working, use the full screen view and shrink your browser's height.
/* These styles are just to make this easier to see,
and to normalize the display a little. */
* { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
.page { width: 100px; border: 2px solid; }
/* Here's the box that locks to some distance from the bottom, in this case 30px */
.outer {
height: calc(100vh - 30px);
position: relative;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
/* And here's the scrollable container inside it */
.inner {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}

I have a side-bar div that will have ads. It should have a fixed width of about 333px and need it to be responsive is possible in its height.
It has a background but when content loads in the main div the side-bar div will not extend the length of the main content. I have tried a few things but get varied results in different browsers.
When in the mobile view or when it's in a small view the side bar should fit to the size of the window width wise and only be has high as the content in the side-bar.
I have loaded a few images for examples to show what I need.
Below is the ccs I have
.main
{
padding: 20px;
}
.side-bar
{
background-image: url('../images/BlueBG.jpg');
width: 333px;
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
This has been asked a few times on SO, but you can use flexbox for this. If you are using bootstrap, you most likely will have a container-fluid class. Simply set the display to flex and all the items inside will become flex-items. This will allow you to have them stretch. In your case, you will have to set container-fluid back to block or set your main and side-bar to flex-basis:100% in a media query for your mobile.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/56we9rmj/2/

Hope that helps!
Giving position:absolute; and 100% height to the sidebar will do. http://jsfiddle.net/fdf01y4b/
Resize the window or add more text to see it in action
.side-bar {
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
If you have problems with the sidebar going out of the parent div, just give position:relative; to the parent wrapper like I did on the Jsfiddle example
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="main">Content</div>
<div class="side-bar">Sidebar</div>
</div>
.wrapper{
position:relative;
}
For smaller screens you can just remove the sidebar position:absolute; to position:initial; with media queries:
#media (max-width: 600px){
.side-bar{
position: initial;
}
}
I'm using absolute positioning to have a div fill up the entire browser window. However, I wan't to combine this with a sticky div that sometimes is there and sometimes not.
To make things a little clearer, check out this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/henrikandersson/aDdRS/
I want the "top", "left" and "subheader" to stay where they are at all times.
I also want the "content" div to fill up what is left of the window.
However, sometimes I want to display the "alert" div before "content".
So far so good, as you can see in the jsFiddle. But, I want "alert" to stick to the "subheader" and stay there when scrolling. As you can see if you resize the window, "alert" will now be scrolled along with "content" - I don't want it to be.
Anyone got an idea of how to solve this?
EDIT:
I made a change in my jsFiddle, I placed the "alert" where it should be (between subheader and content-area). As you can see ( http://jsfiddle.net/henrikandersson/aDdRS/12 ) it does not push the "content-area" down since content-area has top:20px. And I can't set top:40px for example since "alert" should be able to vary in height and I want content-area to have the same css with or without the alert above.
EDIT #2:
This question deals with the same problem, but there is no solution for that question either. Seems like it's not possible without using JavaScript:
variable height scrolling div, positioned relative to variable height sibling
2018-6-18
I choose the CSS way with position: sticky.
that https://github.com/abouolia/sticky-sidebar .
doesn't work for me (I am using Vue.js 2.0 SPA with vue-router & vuex)
I also want the element position: absolute first,
and then position: sticky
Solution
parent HTML element use position: absolute to have the right position.
(don't forget to set height for parent. for example height:100%)
child HTML element position: sticky
work for me.
position: fixed
is a combination of both absolute and sticky

Use float: left; and width: 0; and you can use transform: translateX(xxx); for set left position.
Problem solved :)
Add fixed height & width 100% to alert + position:fixed
Add padding-top to content
Only downfall is of course the extra padding if there is no alert...
See http://jsfiddle.net/aDdRS/5/
The alert scrolls with the content because it's inside the content-area which has overflow-y: auto.
Move it out of the content-area (put it in between subheader and content-area), and remove the position: absolute (and top/left/right/bottom) attributes from the content. In that example I see no reason for content to be absolute-positioned, normal flow will put it where it wants to be.
I chose to go with a JavaScript approach after all. Would have preferred a pure CSS approach but my need for IE8 support stood in the way. This answer by Myles Gray is pretty much what I did - https://stackoverflow.com/a/4933509/940517
