Placing div over image - how to control float behavior - css

I have followed the instructions at floating-div-over-an-image, and while things are working ok, I am trying to better control the behavior of the search box and the button. You can see the page I am working on here
There is a search box on the header image towards the upper right. The CSS for the search box div as follows
.search-box{
z-index: 500;
width: 50%;
border: 0px none;
top: 0px;
float: right;
left: 40%;
position: absolute !important;
}
You'll see that there is a search button to the right of the search box. When the browser window is made narrower, that search button jumps below, even when there is space to the right. I am trying to force that button to stay to the right.
Any tips on how you would achieve the behavior I described? I have tried variations of the float property in the CSS above, but that is not getting me what I need. Maybe I am not applying the correct CSS selector?

Just change your .search-box css for property width:100%
It is WORKING
.search-box {
width:100%;
}
let me know if it is helpful

In class (.search-box) the width was 40% so it was not getting enough room for the search box and button to display in line.
You Just need to replace the below css and it will work in all resolution.
.search-box{
border: 0 none;
position: absolute !important;
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
z-index: 500;
}

The #k2ModuleBox125 div has a 40% width which is causing the search button to wrap to the next line when the search bar increases in size.
You can easily fix this by looking into the style rules of the #k2ModuleBox125 div.

this is happening because .search-box has its width in % give it minimal width, and position it to the right instead of left, and you should be just fine.
.search-box {
min-width:XXpx;
right: 0;
left: auto;
}

CSS Auto-height Div doesn't position itself correctly

I'm trying to get a simple page layout where the navbar sits vertically along the right side of the user's window, taking up no more than 20% of the available space. The remaining 80% of space to the left is used for content.
I want the entire page to be resizable, so no matter how big or small the browser window is (within reason), the content will resize to the user's screen. Everything works and resizes great, but there's one problem with the navBar. Here's a CSS excerpt:
body{
background-color: #111111;
font-family: Roboto;
color: #cccccc;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
#navBar{
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00C9FF;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}
#welcome{
background-color: #222222;
text-align: center;
margin: 1%;
}
The Problem:
If I leave the code above as is, the navBar renders on the right side of the screen, as it should, but it is not 100% the height of the browser window. Note it still resizes when the browser window's WIDTH is changed.
If I set navBar's position to absolute (position: absolute) the navbar renders exactly how it should render, except it floats to the left side of the browser, basically making it on the complete opposite side of where it should be.
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/YPyvzO (remove position: absolute to see where the navBar SHOULD render)
I have tried several different things including setting "HTML" in CSS to height: 100% and several different position properties for navbar, all to no avail. I'd like for this to be done only in CSS, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Add the following:
position: absolute;
right: 0;
to #navBar. One thing that took me a long time to understand is that position: absolute overrides everything, even floats.
when you resize the browser the width and height change, so for this purpose you have to use media query in CSS and in this you have to tell the browser that in this width the navbar should be in given width. and another option is that you can use bootstrap, in bootstrap you not write too much css. and all the work become easy.

How do I keep my footer at the bottom of the page without it coming up automatically to fill space if there is little content?

I'm building a website for our church and I'm using joomla 2.5 to do so. The template i used was wsnone2. I know a bit of code but not a lot i've tried to play around to sort out this issue but i cant seem to do it. Basically when there is very few lines of text as here http://www.smass2.co.uk/index.php/en/hymns/annual/deacon-responses/liturgies the footer comes up and covers the space. How do i stop that without making the position fixed. i tried using ryanfait sticky footer, and several others, but that didnt seem to work. can anyone people provide me with any more suggestions? if possible could the solution be done through CSS?
Thanks.
Actually, this is going to be harder than it looks at first glance. You have a couple things working against you here. First, your footer is actually contained in 2 divs, region9wrap and region10wrap. Doing as #gartox suggests will only move part of the footer to the bottom of the page. You would also need to do the same for the other part. To do so you would need this CCS -
.region9wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 30px; /* height of div below*/
width: 100%;
}
.region10wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
That will move both parts of the footer down, but now you will have a huge dark stripe where your background does not extend to the footer. Now you have to fix the background. First you need to remove the background from region4wrap completely.
Then add the background to the body tag -
body {
background: url('http://www.smass2.co.uk/images/Cross.jpg') no-repeat #0D0D0D;
}
This will make the background extend all the way down to the footer of the page without causing a big dark stripe.
You need do this:
In the class .region10wrap add this properties:values
.region10wrap
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px; /* your height footer*/
width: 100%;
}
Easiest way to do this is to have the footers background on the actual page (behind the whole site), so when the footer can't reach the bottom, it will look like it's stretching all the way down.

Custom webkit scrollbar position

I have a custom webkit scrollbar like this:
::-webkit-scrollbar{
background: transparent;
width: 10px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb{
background: #999 !important;
}
So it renders a grey custom scrollbar instead of the standard one. However, it is stuck to the right side of the page. I know I can change this by adding a margin, padding or border to my body but I am using fullscreen (on backgrounds) images. So when I try this all the images are affected by this too, which I do not want. So I tried to position the scrollbar but this does not work (as it is not an element but a user agent property...
So I'm looking for a way (without using another plugin) to customize the toolbar so that it is offset from the side.
Or, if possible that I can make the scrollbar offset in a div.
Secondly, I'm looking for a way that I can make the "track" of the scrollbar transparet. So only a handle.
Thanks in advance!
If you are still looking for for the answer (or somebody else is, like I was) - here is a definitive article about webkit scrollbars.
Answering Your first question - I'd suggest that you put all your scrollable content in a div with 100% height and 90% width - the 10% left on the right would be your offset. Like that:
.superDiv{
height:100%;
width:90%;
position:fixed;
}
body{ overflow: hidden }
The second question - you're looking for
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece {
background:transparent;
}
But as Apple people are pushing for no-scrollbar web browsing, only the properties set by CSS are visible, so you don't have to change the track-piece.
Clever solution I found recently was to put the border on the right hand side of the screen / div that contains scrollbar:
<div class="yourdiv">
border-right: 5px solid #(background_color);
</div>
An easy way to control the position of a custom scrollbar is to set the scrolling element (body?) using definitive positioning. You'll also need to set html to overflow:auto;
To make the thumb transparent, use a RGBa value for declaring the color. In this case I used 0,0,0,0.4 (red,green,blue,alpha). RGBa is not supported in every browser, Chris Coyier has a good table of who supports it here: http://css-tricks.com/rgba-browser-support/
If all you want to show is the thumb than also consider hiding the other elements of the scrollbar: resizer, scrollbar-button, and scrollbar-corner.
html {
overflow: auto;
}
body {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 20px;
bottom: 5px;
right: 20px;
overflow: scroll;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar{
background: transparent;
width: 10px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb{
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /*-- black at 40% opacity --*/
}
::-webkit-resizer,
::-webkit-scrollbar-button,
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner { display: none; }

Positioning an div so it looks like a tab

I have a div within a div. I want one to extend out of the shell div so it resembles a tab. I thought just using absolute positioning with a negative value would push it out of the parent div. That doesn't seem to work. Is there a CSS work-around?
Example
http://jsfiddle.net/W3CyT/
http://jsfiddle.net/iambriansreed/W3CyT/4/
CSS
#sideWall {
height:100px;
width:100px;
position:absolute;
top: 10;
left: 10;
background: black;
margin-top: 60px; /* give room for tab */
}
.showSideWall {
height: 60px;
width: 30px;
position: absolute;
top: -60px; /* move tab above container */
right: 0;
background: red;
}
You're doing it correctly, however, you need to rethink your values for bottom and right.
If you're looking to have the red box protrude from the black box on its right side, consider removing right:0 and applying left:100% instead. This approach guarantees that no matter how wide the black box and red box are, the red box will always be on the outside to the right; they are width-size agnostic. This can be ideal because you may want to change the size of either box dynamically or in the future (it doesn't lock you in to hard set values).
Here's a fiddle of what I'm talking about.
You could use a Z-Index and position one on top of another. There is a better way to do it with Twitter bootstrap code.

Positioning div element on center of screen

I want to positioning a div element (popup) on the center of the screen via CSS. No problem with this.
The problem comes when i scroll the browser and then i click on the element that displays the popup, but this one will be displayed on the top of the page, instead of centering it on the rendered area (scrolled)
The popup must remain stocked to the page and let scrolling over it.
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance
This is achievable in JavaScript. You should have the link that brings up the div element do this (jQuery):
var divTop = 75 + $(window).scrollTop(); // places the popup 75px from the top
$('.popup_inner').css({'top':divTop, 'display':block});
Position: fixed is also an option, but I don't believe it is supported by IE6, if that matters to you.
I believe what you want is position:fixed instead of position:absolute.
Taken from jqModal:
.popup{
position: fixed;
top: 17%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -300px;
width: 600px;
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: #333333;
padding: 12px;
}
