I am trying to make this Wordpress site responsive, by adding the following custom CSS:
#media (max-width:959px) {
.container, #menu, #featured, .slide .overlay, .slide .overlay2 {
width: 100%;
}
img {
max-width: 100% !important;
height: auto;
}
#menu {
height: auto;
}
}
However, when I move the width of the browser view port to 900px say, #menu (the top navigation menu) will increase in height to accommodate #menu's LI elements which have floated down and left, but #content-full (the parent container of the image slider) will creep up over the bottom half of #menu, hiding the LI elements which have been pushed down and left.
The theme contains:
#content-full {
position: relative;
}
So why does #content-full act like it is position: absolute?
Thanks.
The problem is not with the content but with the header. The #header has an attribute height: 134px. And the #menu inside this header has been given position: absolute. Since absolutely positioned elements are taken out of context before rendering, the parent (in this case #header), would not grow to accommodate the height of #menu as expected. That is the reason why the height has been explicitly specified. The content is not behaving as absolutely positioned. It is the aforementioned behavior of the header that makes it look like that.
One workaround this could be to provide an additional style that changes the height of #header to accommodate the next row of the menu.
Something like this for max-width: 959px
#header {
height: 174px;
}
This would take care of the second row of menu items.
Note: Your background image used for the menu would then break. Because it has been made for that single row of menu. I would suggest replacing that background image, with CSS-gradients and rounded borders.

I'm trying to make a picture menu that when clicked has the other options slide away and show the entire image of the option clicked.
The images are lined up and I'm using overflow hidden to hide the parts that I don't want shown until their clicked.
The animation works fine but if the browser window is larger then the image width then it leaves white space where the image runs out of room. I can set the image to a new width during the transition but it makes the transition look strange as the size of the image is changing too which I don't want.
Is there a way to set something to the size of the window even if its container isn't that size?
http://jsfiddle.net/539Y9/ -
A basic jsfiddle is here. Its harder to tell since I don't have images and you'll probably need to look at dev tools to see the size of the divs but I want those divs to be 100% and hidden by its parent container.
HTML:
<div id="imageMenu">
<ul>
<li class="imageMenuItem"><div id='image1'></div></li>
<li class="imageMenuItem"><div id='image2'></div></li>
<li class="imageMenuItem"><div id='image3'></div></li>
<li class="imageMenuItem"><div id='image4'></div></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#imageMenu ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#imageMenu li {
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
width: 25%;
z-index: 0;
}
#image1 {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
background-color: red;
}
#image2 {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
background: green;
}
#image3 {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
background-color: blue;
}
#image4 {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
background-color: yellow;
}
Just specify width: 400% on the images.
Since you split the original width into 4 by using 25%, you can get the original width at the child element again if you multiply its width by 4. Which is 400%.
I'm not sure what animation you're referring to, but you can use the vw unit to size the element relative to the viewport instead of its parent.
The viewport-percentage lengths are relative to the size of the initial containing block. When the height or width of the initial containing block is changed, they are scaled accordingly.
The initial containing block here is the root element in your document, not the element's parent.
#image1, #image2, #image3, #image4 {
width: 100vw;
}
JSFiddle demo - notice how the yellow div element at the end stretches by the same width as the entire result pane? All your div elements here are doing this but are being covered by the next one along.
Here's a second demo where I've added a hover effect to your div elements to show how this works.
What is the best no JS way (most commont browsers friendly) to achieve this?
I have found a few related questions & answers:
width: 100% / number_of_li-s_in_ul;
http://jsfiddle.net/qx4WG/ ("static" calculated size for each li) - unable to use due different sizes of li
li {display: table-cell;}
UPDATE: http://jsfiddle.net/jwJBd/1035/ -> works good, but I'm also using sub-menus and position: relative; doesn't work here to position the sub-menu below current li. When position is set to static it enlarges the parent LI every time it's set to display:block;
display: box;
never used it before, just read a few articles and it looks like the browser support is minimal
If i understood your question correctly, you want to display evenly menu elements like a table would do AND be able to display css sub-menus using absolute and relative positioning.
Your jsfiddle was close, the only thing i had to fix was the positioning of the sub-menu
.sub-menu {
display: none;
/*left: 0;*/ /* i removed this */
position: absolute;
/* PLAY with this */
}

[post edit]
It would also be relevant to set your <li> parent with a table-layout:fixed property. This way, <li> will be set to equal width.
#horizontal-style {
display: table;
width: 100%;
table-layout:fixed; /* try this */
}
I am developing a webpage for images on a carousel. How can I move an image down in a DIV, or even center it vertically?
Here is my CSS code:
.carousel .item {
height: 900px;
background-color: #777;
}
.carousel-inner > .item > img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
}
Here is a URL to the webpage in question to show you that the image is too high: http://www.canninginc.co.nz/canluciddream/screenshots.html
EDIT
Ok, I have edited the code by changing the:
margin-top: 50px;
I am still after the image to be lower in the div. I can increase the top margin, but this leaves a white background. What would be the best way to move the image a little bit lower?
First of all make the .item position relative and then
on css:
.carousel-inner > .item > img {
position:absolute;
top:25%;
left:25%;
}
This will center the image vertically
Give margin top of 130px to the image and it looks cool!
margin-top: 130px;
Put image inside the main body, set the main body to position: relative, then set the image to position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;
If you can't put the image inside the main body, then add a negative margin-top to the main body.
Your problem is not the image being placed too high - it is fixed header. So set margin-top:50px instead of -80px for .myCarousel.
The reason the image is going behind the navigation bar at the top is because you have the navigation bar's position set to fixed. This removes it from the rest of the page for styling purposes, in that the other divs/elements do not recognize it when they position themselves. If you remove the position: fixed; css on that item, the other elements will position relative to that one. Another option would be to add enough of a top margin to the image element to push it down below the top bar by default, whichever you prefer.
I am working on Bootstrap theme where its responsive. I disable the responsiveness on a child theme by adding a code in functions.php. All works well , no problem.
Now the parent container, is now fixed:
HTML:
<div class="container">
CSS:
.container{width: 940px;}
But I would like the footer section to have sitewide background color. How do I able to do this?
I have tried setting different methods like width:auto, width: 200% ,but its not giving me the desired result.
Supposing this is the footer section:
<footer>
My footer
</footer>
My attempted CSS on a child theme(not working)
footer {
background: #CCCCCC;
width:100% !important;
position:absolute !important;
}
Also is this possible without setting too many !important on CSS property? Thanks.
If your footer is inside the div.container which has width:940px; then giving your footer 100% width will make it 940px wide.
You need to have the footer outside the container to give it 100% width of the body.
When you give 100% width, the element gets its container's width. So in your code, even with the important keyword, it'll get the container's width (because that what 100% is supposed to do).
Just take the footer outside of the container.
Then it'll work and you won't need this !important keyword.
As others have mentioned, removing the footer from the parent container of .container will allow the width of it to be the entire size of the viewport/document.
If you are unable to change this level of structure of the HTML due to your template, you can fake the width using pseudo-elements, like so:
footer {
position: relative;
background-color: lightblue; /* Match the color of the body background */
}
footer::before, footer::after {
content:"";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 9999px;
/* some huge width */
background-color: inherit;
}
footer::before {
right: 100%;
}
footer::after {
left: 100%;
}
See jsFiddle.
Taken from CSS Tricks: Full Browser Width Bars
I have a footer div with 100% width. It's about 50px high, depending on its content.
Is it possible to give that #footer a background image that kind of overflows this div?
The image is about 800x600px, and I want it to be positioned in the left bottom corner of the footer. It should work sort of like a background image for my website, but I've already set a background image on my body. I need another image positioned at the bottom left corner of my website and the #footer div would be perfect for that.
#footer {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
background:#eee url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png) no-repeat left bottom fixed;
}
The image is set to the footer, however it doesn't overflow the div. Is it possible to make that happen?
overflow:visible doesn't do the job!
There is a very easy trick. Set padding of that div to a positive number and margin to negative
#wrapper {
background: url(xxx.jpeg);
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: -10px;
}
I do not believe that you can make a background image overflow its div. Images placed in Image tags can overflow their parent div, but background images are limited by the div for which they are the background.
You can use a css3 psuedo element (:before and/or :after) as shown in this article
https://www.exratione.com/2011/09/how-to-overflow-a-background-image-using-css3/
Good Luck...
No, you can't.
But as a solid workaround, I would suggest to classify that first div as position:relative and use div::before to create an underlying element containing your image. Classified as position:absolute you can move it anywhere relative to your initial div.
Don't forget to add content to that new element. Here's some example:
div {
position: relative;
}
div::before {
content: ""; /* empty but necessary */
position: absolute;
background: ...
}
Note: if you want it to be 'on top' of the parent div, use div::after instead.
Using background-size cover worked for me.
#footer {
background-color: #eee;
background-image: url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
}
Obviously be aware of support issues, check Can I Use: http://caniuse.com/#search=background-size
Use trasform: scale(1.1) property to make bg image bigger, move it up with position: relative; top: -10px;
<div class="home-hero">
<div class="home-hero__img"></div>
</div>
.home-hero__img{
position:relative;
top:-10px;
transform: scale(1.1);
background: {
size: contain;
image: url('image.svg');
}
}
You mention already having a background image on body.
You could set that background image on html, and the new one on body. This will of course depend upon your layout, but you wouldn't need to use your footer for it.
Not really - the background image is bounded by the element it's applied to, and the overflow properties only apply to the content (i.e. markup) within an element.
You can add another div into your footer div and apply the background image to that, though, and have that overflow instead.
This could help.
It requires the footer height to be a fixed number. Basically, you have a div inside the footer div with it's normal content, with position: absolute, and then the image with position: relative, a negative z-index so it stays "below" everything, and a negative top value of the footer's height minus the image height (in my example, 50px - 600px = -550px). Tested in Chrome 8, FireFox 3.6 and IE 9.
