I have two divs in a parent div. They render side by side
<image><info>
but on smaller screens I want them to render one under the other and swap positions, like
<info>
<image>
So, their real order in html is
<info>
<image>
and they both have float:right so they appear swapped and side by side. On smaller screens they both have float:none and thet appear one under the other as they should. I used Shlomi's answer from here and it works fine.
The problem.
When horizontal, I wan to align the divs on the left, but due to the float:right, they align right.
So I thought I give the container position:relative and the children position:absolute , so then I can do left:0; and right:0. This make the container have zero height and a vertical scrollbar appears. If I remove the position:absolute its back to normal, but no left aligned.
So either I can use position:absolute and fix container's height or my solution is stupid and maybe you suggest something else.
My code right now
#container{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
display: block;
margin-top: 30px ;
padding-bottom: 38px;
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
}
#image{
display: block;
height: 221px;
width : auto;
float: right;
margin-right: 20px;
position: absolute;
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
}
#info{
width:-moz-calc(100% - 331px);width: -webkit-calc(100% - 331px);width: calc(90% - 331px);
height: 500px;
display: block;
float: right;
position: absolute;
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
}
You might use
float: left;
instead :)

I have two child divs (inline-block) inside a wrapper div. I want the left Div to be centered and the right one simply on the right of the left div.
<div id="Wrapper1"><div id="leftElement1">LEFT ELEMENT</div><div id="rightElement1">RIGHT</div></div>
The Problem is, if I use margin-left to reposition the whole wrapper, the Left Element is not centered on small screen sizes.
If I center leftElement1 and use position: absolute to position rightElement1 the Warpper Div does not adjust its width and height according to its children.
For a better understanding check http://jsfiddle.net/aaq810gs/6/
Any help is appreciated!
If i understand right you want something like this:
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;
float: right;
top: -100px;
}
Applied in your first example.
fiddle
Or something like this:
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
position: fixed;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
fiddle
I am not really sure if I get exactly what you mean, but I think something like this could work for you.
- You better switch to %, because than it will work better on mobile devices.
- Second thing is adding margin:0 auto; for #leftElement1 so it stays in the middle. #rightElement2 will just stick to it on the right, because it is inline-block.
Now you can add whatever margin to the wrapper and it stays the same.
Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/stassel/vzx6fm55/
HTML:
<div id="Wrapper1">
<div id="leftElement1">LEFT ELEMENT</div>
<div id="rightElement1">RIGHT</div>
</div>
CSS:
#Wrapper1 {
width: 90%;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px;
margin-left:10%;}
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
width: 10%;
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;}
#leftElement1 {
background-color: green;
width: 60%;
margin:0 auto;
display: inline-block;}
div {
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
color: white;}
SOLVED
Thank you for all your answers! Unfortunately I wasn't able to describe my Question properly, so none of the solutions worked.
Finally I was able to solve the problem myself. The Key to the solution was another centered outer wrapper, with a fixed size of the to-be-centered Element and overflow: visible. The inner content overlaps now the outer wrapper.
#outerWrapper {
width: 700px;
overflow: visible;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#Wrapper {
width: 810px;
background-color: red;
}

Hello using a child theme, getting all the other elements working with the responsive design - just not the logo?
link to site
Using this code at the moment;
header#masthead hgroup .logo img {
vertical-align: bottom;
height: 80px;
width: 300px;
margin-left: 390px;
}
Many thanks
These two lines
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
are a good place to start to center something.
Common reasons for that not to work is if the element is floating or has its position set to something besides static. In those cases you can try float: none;, or position: static; or position: relative;. In the case of relative be sure to also set the relevant top, bottom, left, and right properties.
There are a many cases where none of these things will help, but in your case and in most simple cases, the above will get you there.
Try this for your CSS
header#masthead hgroup .logo {
display: block;
float: left;
max-width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
}
header#masthead hgroup .logo img {
vertical-align: bottom;
height: 80px;
width: 300px;
}
No need for big margin-left. the code on the .logo div moves the logo 50% across the screen, to center it completely, you then have to remove half the width with a margin-left: -150px.
I tried the code out on your website so it should work. Hope it makes sense.
I want to make a div (my sidebar) stretch to the bottom of the page. I know that I need to add "height: 100%;" in order to do that.
But when I add height: 100%;, pages that have less content than the sidebar cuts the sidebar's height and then you can't see the sidebar content.
This is the index page . Everything looks exactly the way I want it to.
This is a sample page . Notice that the sidebar has been cut.
CSS:
#menu-container {
background-image: url('floral.png');
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
#menu {
background-image: url('menubg.png');
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 20px;
color: #e8e8e8;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
width: 1000px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks in advance!

The changed CSS fixed my second problem but now I'm back to the cut off sidebar on shorter pages: See here: http://www.tarawilder.com/staging/?page_id=19
I'm leaving my house now, I'll be able to respond later tonight. Thanks again for your help!
#container {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 900px;
}
try this..it will give you the result you want..though there are many other mistakes in your html markup
some other areas where you need to be careful...
your container's width is 900px..which contains side menu and the large text...combined width of your side menu and the large text is far greater than your 900px width of your container..as you are not using overflow:hidden; you cant see the effect...why dont you apply overflow:auto; width:100% or something like that
BETTER CSS::
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
ACCORDING TO YOUR NEW PROBLEM :: now your body height must be more than 100% now..thats why after 100% height your side menu becomes invisible
CHANGED CSS ::
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
your third problem ::
strange...you are now using width:100% for your cantainer..and your container contains side menu and large text...and side menu has width of 300px and then your having width of 1000px for large text..so naturally the overflowed part ot the text gets invisible; and also remove position:absolute; from container
now your css
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
vertical-align: top;
}
NOTE:: don't delete your edited part of your question..you have already deleted the 2nd edit you made to your question earlier...it will create difficulties for future users to relate the answer with question
Make sure that your parent containers (#container, body, html) are height:100%; as well.
Personally, I would do something like this(if the rest of the site layout allows it):
Instead of creating separate backgrounds for #menu, #menu-caontainer and body i would create background on body something like this: http://cl.ly/image/3L060f2w3Z0s
that would repeat vertically on y axis, so no matter how high the body is the background would stretch/repeat to the bottom.
I'm trying to make a part of my webpage that fit the width of the browser, for this I'm using width: 100%, the problem is that it shows scrollbars and I can't use overflow-x: hidden; because it will make some of the content hidden, so how I can fix this?
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}
Because you're using position: absolute, instead of using:
width: 100%; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px
you should use:
left: 10px; right: 10px
That will make your element take the full width available, with 10px space on the left and right.
You have to remove the margins on the #news item
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px; /*REMOVE THIS*/
margin-left: 10px; /*REMOVE THIS*/
padding: 0;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}
If this doesn't work, you might have margin and padding set on the element itself. Your div - if that is what you are using - might have styles applied to it, either in your stylesheet or base browser styles. To remove those, set the margins specifically to 0 and add !important as well.
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}
It seems that you have set the width to 100%, but there are also margins that force the width to expand beyond that.
Try googling for "css flexible ( two/three-collumn) layouts".
Here's an example,
<div id="cont">
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
and the css
#menu{
float:left;
height:100%;
width:200px;
}
#main{
padding-left:200px;
}
.clear{clear:both;}
The #menu div, will be aligned to the left and have a static width of 200px.
The #main div, will "begin" below #main, but because of it's 200px padding (can also be margin) its content and child elements will start - where #menu ends.
We must not set #main to a percent width, (for example 100%) because the 200 pixels of left padding will be added to that, and break the layout by adding scrollbars to the X axis.
I had a similar issue with a absolute positioned element, and I wanted to use width 100%. This is the approach I used and it solved my problem:
box-sizing=border-box
Otherwise I always had a little content and padding pushing past the scroll bar.
The answer is that you have margins set that will make the div wider than the 100%; hence the scrollbars.
If you can rid yourself of margins do it! However, often you'll want the margins. In this case, wrap the whole thing in a container div and set margins to 0 with width at 100%.
I'm having issues with the margins in browsers (other than Firefox) on this page:
http://jumpthru.net/newsite/commentary/
Here is the CSS:
#container3 {
float: right;
margin: 0 -240px;
width: 100%;
}
#content3 {
margin: 0 210px 0 -45px;
width:500px;
}
#primary, #secondary {
left:920px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
position:absolute;
width: 220px;
}
Kind of a strange way to build up the page..
I recommend you to create a 2 column layout in main2..
Left for menu and right for the comments header, with beneath that the content and the recent comments div..
And, start using clearfix: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html
I fixed the issue in Chrome by changing this CSS:
#primary, #secondary {
left: 980px; /*was 920px*/
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
position: absolute;
width: 220px;
}
I see you're using absolute position on #primary, this is based on the window so when i resize the window the "Recent Comments" section moves. So depending on the resolution of the users screen and the size of their browser this will move.
add position relative to the main2 div. Then change the left value on the #primary to right with a value of 0. this will keep it on the right side and always in the same place.
#main2 {
position: relative;
...
}
#primary, #secondary {
right: 0;
...
}
EDIT: The reason this works is when you use position: absolute the value is absolute the nearest relative parent element. if the element as no parent elements with position: relative it will be absolute to the browser window. Hope that makes sense.
