I'm using this a link accordion menu to create a FAQ. Problem is that height is fixed, so whenever text is too long (or on mobile devices), text is cut us.
I've tried to use height: auto, overflow: hidden; min-height, !important and all the tags to make the height responsive, but whenever I do this, If I click on the tabs, the scrolling accordion effect doesn't work or it jumps to top page.
How can I solve this? I'd prefer not using JS or Jquery...thanks!
Here's the css
.ac-container input:checked ~ article.ac-small {
height: 140px;
}
All you need to do is Setting height:auto for the below property.
.ac-container input:checked ~ article.ac-small {
height: auto;
}
which is the one deciding height of the according body.
Plese find the link for the updated code.
The solution you use is CSS only.
A CSS3 animation needs a defined height value to generate the transition – that's why the solution you used offers 3 different predefined heights.
Another approach would be to use the max-height-trick which works for linear animations only though.
The most common solution would be to toggle the animation via jQuery's slidetoggle().

I know this probably cannot be done without javascript but I dont mind using it.
I have a div that grabs the width percentage with PHP.
All I need to do is that on page load I would like the bar ( Div ) to start at 0px width and transition to the correct width percentage.
I can do it fine of course on a Hover or Active state but cant seem to get it right with page load.
Do you use jQuery? Theres a built-in document ready function. Inside of that, add a class to the div. Then in your CSS you can style the two different states of the div to accommodate the transition
Javascipt
$(function(){
$('.bar').addClass('.ready');
});
CSS
.bar {
width: 0;
transition: width 500ms;
}
.bar.ready {
width: 100%;
}
I'm working on the navigation for this website and am having trouble with the dropdown nav.
Basically, I have overflow: hidden applied to the container that holds the navigation items so that the rollover effect works properly (the bottom of the nav item is 'masked' off); you'll see what I mean if you roll over the nav on the website.
For Products there is a dropdown nav. As the site in built in Business Catalyst (CMS), I don't have control over how the navigation items are nested, but I can obviously style them / target them with JQuery.
Is there a way to make the dropdown container within div#navigation ignore the overflow: hidden rule I have applied? I have tried setting position to absolute and playing with the z-index, but no luck.
Any suggestions to achieve the same result are also welcome.
Solution:
Remove position:relative; rule from box with overflow:hidden; and set it to one of her parent boxes. Then absolute boxes in the box with overflow:hidden; will ignore this rule.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/88fYK/5/
overflow: hidden can't be overridden by descendent elements - they will always be clipped by the element with overflow: hidden.
Setting the element's position:fixed will remove the element and its children from the normal document flow allowing it to be unclipped. But you'll have to manually reposition it relative to the browser window. Not a great solution but it is a work-around.
if your container is set to "overflow: hidden;" and your dropdown menu is under this container, you just need to set "position: absolute;"
.container {
overflow: hidden;
}
.your_dropdown_menu {
position: absolute;
}
try to put position:fixed on dropdown content.
.dropdown-content{
position:fixed
}
For those of you who didnt find the solution to you problem in the answers already given, you can try and do what i did, wich is to give your "nav-bar" a different "ID" than the rest of the "containers"..........wich after 2h46min of trying everything.....i said why not and it worked, you never know it might be as simple as that
Just a quick question regarding CSS positioning. I have several "segments" on my site which are 100% wide (fills the screen), and I want them floated next to each other. So only the first one will be visible, the other ones will be off-screen. I've tried playing around with positions and the overflow property without luck. Right now they just pop down below each other instead of floating.
This would work perfectly if the elements did not exceed the screen width, but as they do, they just pop down as I said earlier. I've tried setting a huge width to the "wrapper", something like 99999px. And then setting the segments to 100%, but that will just fill the whole 99999px width instead of the screen.
Any ideas?
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/
Do you mean like this?
Example Fiddle: here
I used my favourite alternative to floats, inline-blocks
if you actually take it out of the fiddle it has some pretty (gaudy?) colours which show that it allows for the min-width: 900px; on the centered_content div to work too, and I removed the absolute positioning for the menu so the content would go below it, for demo only but you may find it useful..
let me know if any good or if you have any questions
Updated with some jQuery and to make corrections for default word-spacing
New Example: here
re: the IE6/7 hack rightly mentioned in the comments;
.segment {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
width: 0;
}
.segment {display: inline !ie7;}
needn't be a "parse hack" if that's your preference as long as that second rule is given to [lte IE 7] somehow, and separately at that it cannot be combined into the original rule with the * hack or anything, it won't work.. has to be in a separate ruleset.
I discovered word-spacing might be a problem if relying on width to hide, the natural behaviour of inline blocks is to put 3-4px between the elements like the space in between words, the workaround to this is to correct the word-spacing on the wrapper
.segment-wrapper {
white-space: nowrap;
word-spacing: -4px;
}
then restore it normal for the actual content divs, same place as you would restore the normal wrapping behaviour
.centered_content {
width: 900px;
margin: 0px auto;
background: #fcf;
white-space: normal;
word-spacing: 0;
}
and last, apart from this was fun.. there's 2 effects in that new fiddle - uncomment and comment the other.. forgive me I was playing! :)
The meaning of float is to try to float to the right or left unless there is not room for it.
This means that you cannot ever float an element off the page.
If you need to keep the element off the page, you will need to use a different positioning mechanism like position: absolute.
It sounds like you're creating a horizontal one-page portfolio. I've recently been working on something similar.
Using your fiddle I've set the .segment class to
.segment {width:90%;height:90%;position:absolute;}
and then offset each left positioning further off the screen
#home {background-color:red;left:5%;}
#work {background-color:yellow;left:105%;}
#portfolio {background-color:green;left:205%;}
#contact {background-color:blue;left:305%;}
http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/2/
I also added some jQuery logic to switch views for the divs.
I'm still not entirely sure which segments you want to start off the page but this jsfiddle uses positioning to shove the #two div off to the right: http://jsfiddle.net/EdAZP/1/
Which part of your example did you want to start off the page?
Did you try to just hide the other elements and toggle them with some javascript (jQuery is much easier)?

I'm having a problem with overriding some plugin CSS. Editing that CSS directly is not really an option, as it would make updating the plugin more risky.
The problem: an element has absolute positioning, and has top:0px in the original. I want to override it by bottom:0px.
For the sake of example
.element {position:absolute; top:0;}
/* in another file */
.my .element {bottom:0;}
On firefox this works ok (bottom:0 is the applied style), but safari/chrome don't seem to be get over the top:0.
I can work around this problem, but it would be nice to come up with a clean solution.
Use top: auto to "reset" top to its initial value.
bottom is a totally separate property to top (an element can have both a top and bottom), so perhaps you won't need bottom anymore.
Also, make sure your override selector is specific enough, but it doesn't sound like that's the problem in this case.
.my .element { position: inherit !important; top: auto; }
On a customer website, I have to add a background image for only a contained region of the page (its real content part).
The problem is, if the content is short enough, then the image will be clipped. How would be possible to have the image completely visible? I have tried to add the "overflow" CSS attribute but unfortunately it did not help me.
Here is an example of the website I have to work on: http://www.sfp-pensioen.nl/werknemer/welkom The background image is on the div element with id="content".
On the specific link that I am sending it is not an issue because the content is long enough, but if you remove elements using firebug then the problem will become obvious.
ps: IE6 must be supported.
Following on from Graham's answer:
"height" in ie6 acts like "min-height" across other browsers.
min-height: 50px;
_height: 50px;
The example above will provide a cross browser minimum height of 50px. ie6 will read "_height" where other browsers will not. If you don't hacks, use a conditional statement.
Rich
you could either give a height to the id #content
or
apply the background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top transparent; to #mainContent instead of #content
overflow for background-images is impossible, but you could set a min-height for content (or set the image in another div with lower z-index and position it abolutely to appear at the place you want - but thats a very bad solution)
The overflow attribute controls what happens to the div when the content is too big to fit - if you have a fixed-size div with some content that might overflow, you generally want the auto option. overflow has no effect on a background image.
For your case, it sounds like you want to specify a min-height on the content div. Note that this isn't supported by older browsers like IE6, which you may or may not care about. There are plenty of ways to work around this, though.
What you want is the 100% height you can achieve this with the following.
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
}
You need the min-height and the body needs a height so every child element of the body will follow the rule.
Also by adding min-height: 100%; to all css rules will solve all your problems for any grade A browser.
If you know the #sidebar or #main will always have a visual height the same or larger than the background image then you can simply add the background image to:
.sub #wrapper #mainContent {
background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 150px transparent;
}
instead of where it is an the moment on #content
