I have a question on something weird that is rendering on the latest IE and Chrome browsers. I have a div that is supposed to span 100% of a parent. So clumsily, I gave it - width: 100%px; as a CSS property. Here is my entire item:
.loc_vendiv{
position: relative;
margin-top: 5px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%px;
height: 120px;
border: 1px solid #333;
background-color: #fff;
}
The weird thing - that worked perfectly. So much so, that I just noticed today that this was wrong. Not wanting an ugly style sheet, I removed the px from the end. And... the div was two pixels too wide. Any explanation as to why this is happening? Here is the parent div:
#loc_catlist{
position: absolute;
width: 612px;
height: 720px;
top: 50px;
left: 0px;
background-color: #eee;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I'm mildly annoyed, as the bad code works, yet the correct code doesn't do what I want. I don't think I can leave it, though. I don't like little hiccups like this...
It's because of your border.
Try adding :
box-sizing: border-box;
to your .loc_vendiv class, it will take the border in account.
Browsers usually ignore invalid css rules like width: 100%px; which means that to get the style you had with the mistake. you only have to remove the width rule.
2px too wide is likely caused because you have a width of 100% in addition to a border of 1px (all around adds up to 2px width).
A fix can be found here from "Paul Irish" about
box-sizing
what happens is that when the width value is wrong (100%px;) this part of the CSS is simply ignored by the browser. If this part of the css was deleted, the result would be the same.
About the 2 extra pixels, this happens because of the border set to the div.loc_vendiv.
The width of div.loc_vendiv is equal to the width of div#loc_catlist and to this is added the border value (1px for the left border and 1px for the right border = 2px).
Remember that the border width is added to the size of the object while the padding creates an internal space.

I have here a code in Dabblet: http://dabblet.com/gist/5705036
I wanted to have these segment to stick at their position even if the browser is re-sized without using absolute positioning. Like for example, The main content container breaks a new line when the browser is re-sized [I use CSS Floats in most of my containers].
Is there something wrong with my coding?
Do floats proper for layouts ? or I need to use anything else?..
I just can't fix it by myself and by doing a lot of research , still, haven't got a good idea to use it as a way to fix this. [Also, I use HTML5 tags such as: section, article, nav, etc.. ]
Just remove the float:left; from maincontent id and apply a display:table-cell;. Your issue will be resolved.
Here is the code.
#maincontent {
border: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
display: table-cell;
margin-top: 15px;
min-height: 400px;
padding: 2px 6px;
width: 700px;
}
Hope this helps.
First of all You should always clear parent element if You use floats inside the parent element. Your right element go down because You don't have minimal width of container, ther is sample of code:
#contentWrapper {
width: 1000px;
overflow: hidden; /*scroll / auto it's depends on You */
}
I noticed that in your code you had a space in <div id="contentWrapper "> which stopped your CSS for that element from appearing. Also, you needed 2 more pixels of width on your #contentWrapper.
#contentWrapper {
width: 992px;
}
Removing the space and changing the width of #contentWrapper worked for me. I had a quick look at the maths but haven't worked out why it needs to be 992px. Anyone?
So, in answer to your question, I'd say floats are fine and your approach is good, there were just those two minor errors.
I have this annoying problem with Chrome (or FF?). I haven't checked on IE yet.
There is one pixel difference in rendering and I have no idea where I can dig for more. I've used all inspectors for the three browsers (FF, Opera, Chrome) to see, if there is anything to tweak, with no success. It is either a bug, or I am blind for this error.
See an example here: www.vanwright.com/catalogue/le-kex-walking-kids/
The problem refers to the left margin of the first images from the left in both rows. Chrome shows 2px border, while other browsers show 1px, which is what I am after.
Is it caused by nth-of-type selector?
Probably not, because here: www.vanwright.com/collections/ it seems to have the same problem (margin-left: -10px shows with a 1px line in Chrome, while there is no space in FF/Opera).
I am lost. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Option 1
To fix and maintain 960px layout:
remove all the :nth-of-type css on .pi-pad
change the css for .pi-pad to read: .pi-pad {margin: 1px 1px 1px 0; width: 318px; padding: 0px;}
Fix background to math 960px layout ( I think it is currently designed for a 979px layout);
Option 2
Expand current layout to match background. (which is clunky, because the background's width is no divisible by 3)
CSS for .container and .span-12 should specify width: 979px
Change either the .pi-pad:nth-of-type(3n+1) or .pi-pad:nth-of-type(3n) CSS to read width: 325px; and remove the other.
Change the .pi-pad CSS to read .pi-pad {margin: 1px 1px 1px 0; width: 324px; padding: 0px;}
=========EDIT=========
I posted this before I saw your replies above, and I also forgot to hide your overflow.
Using option 2, and now that I know for sure it is 980px (it looked like 979 when I measured)
.container and .span-12 should have width: 980px;
Change the .pi-pad CSS to read .pi-pad {overflow: hidden; margin: 1px 1px 1px 0; width: 325px; padding: 0px;}
Use .pi-pad:nth-of-type(3n) OR .pi-pad:nth-of-type(3n+1) should specify width: 326px; and delete the other.
It's a Chrome bug. Thanks to runspired for taking time. Sorry for anyone trying to fix the unfixable.
Background center with chrome (bug)
I want to make a div resizable with resize css property:
#foo{
overflow: hidden;
resize: both;
}
I can freely resize it with firefox.
with chrome/safari I can't resize it smaller than initial size.
their is a way to allow resize smaller with webkit? (min-width / min-height don't works)
see the live exemple from MDN (with 2 nested divs)
https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/cssref/resize.html
Better solution is to use :active pseudo class e.g:
div:active {
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/kronenbear/v4Lq5o09/1/
There is a small workaround that I found here, but it does work.
On hover, change the height and width to 1px
#foo:hover{
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
}
It sounds like this will cause a slight "flash" as the width and height are dramatically changing, but ... it is a hack.
I've been trying for hours but can't make it to work better than the hack, if I could just trigger a userresize I would be happy setting chrome's width to min-width then trigger resize to put it where I want, since it seems that you can move it back to original position after moving. But I don't find how to.
Using that live example as a reference, I was able to set the initial size to be equal to the width and height of the div, and the min-height and min-width to be the minimum dimensions allowable in Chrome.
#foo {
resize: both;
overflow: scroll;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
min-width: 50px;
min-height: 70px;
}
div {
background-color: #acacac;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<div id="foo"></div>
I have an image with float:left, and I’d like it to overflow its parent, but cut off the overflow. Here’s what it looks like without any overflow rules:
Here’s what I want:
Here’s a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZA5Lm/
For some reason, it was decided that overflow:hidden without an explicit height results in the element growing.
Can I somehow achieve the effect I’m after without setting an explicit height? An explicit height doesn’t work because I want this div to size automatically based on content length and browser width.
In my opinion using overflow: hidden without setting dimensions doesn't make sense. If you don't want to specify the height of the container and if your images have a fixed width you could use this solution: http://jsfiddle.net/ZA5Lm/11/
The image is positioned with absolute, taking it out of the text-flow. However - and I'm aware that this may be ugly - you need to specify a padding-left to move the text away from the image.
It's a bit tricky (I use relative + absolute positioning and a specific padding to position text) but it does the effect you asked without changing markup or setting height:
body {
padding: 10px;
}
img {
float: left;
position: absolute;
left : 10px;
}
div {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 280px;
position : relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
I just inserted style (even if float:left would be no longer necessary)
I seen a post over at CSS-Tricks and it talked about this. Go check it out at -
http://css-tricks.com/minimum-paragraph-widths/
It might be useful :) Good luck
Also just looked at your code and I added float: right to your div so it looks like this -
div {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
float: right
/*overflow: hidden;*/
}
Not sure if that's what you want?
How can I get an image to stretch the height of a DIV class?
Currently it looks like this:
However, I would like the DIV to be stretched so the image fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image.
Here is the CSS for the DIV (the grey box):
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
}
The CSS being applied on the image:
.product{
display: inline;
float: left;
}
So, how can I fix this?
Add overflow:auto; to .product1
In the markup after the image, insert something like <div style="clear:left"/>. A bit messy, but it's the easiest way I've found.
And while you're at it, put a bit of margin on that image so the text doesn't butt up against it.
Assuming #John Millikin is correct, the code
.product + * { clear: left; }
would suffice to do the same thing without forcing you to manually adjust the code after the div.
One trick you can use is to set the <div>'s overflow property to hidden. This forces browsers to calculate the physical size of the box, and fixes the weird overlap problem with the floated image. It will save you from adding in any extra HTML markup.
Here's how the class should look:
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This looks like a job for clearfix to me ...
Try the following:
.Strech
{
background:url(image.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
display:inline
float:left
is your problem
Floating makes the parents width not be stretched by the child, try placing the image without the float. If you take the float off, it should give you the desired effect.
Another approach would be to make sure you are clearing your floats at the end of the parent element so that they don't scope creep.
Update: After viewing your link Your height issue as displayed, is because the floats are not being cleared.
