I'm essentially displaying a banner image on a page. At the base of that image is an overlay (the abs. pos. div) with a semi-transparent background image to make a "see through" effect. Everything is positioned properly and working fine except the overlay at a width of 100% expands outside of my container div. I've tried setting the overflow to hidden of the container div but that does not seem to work. My parent container has a position relative as well. This is responsive so the overlay with need to shrink and expand to the image width. Here's my code:
.hero-img-wrap {
position: relative;
margin-top: 35px;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
.hero-img-wrap img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.hero-img-wrap .trans-overlay {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
z-index: 9;
height: 19px;
background-image: url('../images/semi_transparent_white.png');
width: 100%;
}
<div class="hero-img-wrap">
<img src="images/banner_image.jpg" alt="">
<div class="trans-overlay"></div>
</div>
I could pull this off with JQuery but I'd like to avoid that. For what it might be worth - this code is within a Bootstrap 3 column.
Since you've defined the height, why not a negative value
position: relative;
top: -19px;
Just a thought, heres a fiddle for ya

Try
Width:inherit;
On overlay div

I am using positioning(fixed/absolute)due to having scroll when content overflows, but the problem is if I have to change dimension of other parts, I must change position of the scroll-able container.
As far as I know to have a box scroll-able while overflowing situation, dimension of the box must be set!
Here is my css for the container:
.scrollable-box {
position: absolute;
top: 152px;
right: 0;
left: 15px;
bottom: 0;
overflow-y: auto;
}
Changing the position of a div dynamically does not affect its scrollability.Its not mandatory to position a scrollable div .
.list {
overflow-y: auto;
margin-right: 2px;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/526ctwew/
fiddle has two divs placed inline with no positioning done. Even if the scrollable div moves to next line(on resizing the screen) scrolling is not affected.
Hope this helps .
How can I keep the play button centred even if the the image/video size changed?
.image{
position:relative;
width:500px; //changed
height:300px;
}
Here is my example...
Attention: my images/videos haven't no specific size, so they can change according to their own size... This is just an example!
I set up three examples to show how you could solve this problem.
Please see the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/mxSkQ/
The HTML is essentially yours:
<div class ="image ex1">
<a href="#">
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x150" alt="video">
<span class="play">
<span></span>
</span>
</a>
</div>
I am using a demo image with configurable dimensions, 200x150 for example, easily changed for testing.
Example 1 - Image Size Determines Size of the Parent Container
.ex1.image {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 50px;
}
.image a {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
/* Gets rid of the extra white space that follows an inline element*/
.image img {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
If you want the .image div to shrink to fit the image, use inline-block to display.
The margin-left is optional, will depend on the rest of the layout.
Important: To center the play button motif, simply set the a tag to display as inline-block and your arrow-motif-span will position itself nicely.
Because img is an inline element, browsers insert a small space after it that can show up if you have borders or backgrounds. Use vertical-align: bottom to clean that up.
Example 2 - Parent Container Has A Specified Width
You can specify a width for the .image parent container and then use text-align to position the image element.
.ex2.image {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 400px;
height: auto;
text-align: center;
}
Example 3 - Parent Container Has Full Width and Specified Height
In this example, I let the parent container fill up the width of the window and set the
height to 200px. To get vertical centering, I set margin-top to a hard-coded value that will depend on the height of the image. If you let the image take on a fixed height, this example is useful.
.ex3.image {
position: relative;
display: block;
width: auto;
height: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
.ex3.image a {
margin-top: 25px;
}
You need
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -25px 0 0 -25px; // top and left equal to half of the size * (-1)
http://jsfiddle.net/nGKcn/13/
Try playing with the image size/different images.
Give the image CSS of:
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
This is just a general way you put stuff in the middle.
Unless I'm missing something maybe?
I have a middle container that takes up whatever vertical space is left on the screen. In it, I placed a Jquery scroller that is currently set to 200px:
.scroll-pane
{
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}
.horizontal-only
{
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
}
However, if I set .scroll-pane height to 100%, it just removes the scrollbar and stretches the whole page.
See JsFiddle here
How can I stop this? Thanks!
Here is my solution to this problem (jsfiddle). It uses markup like this:
<div id="top">...</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="middle">...</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">...</div>
The top and bottom divs are position absolutely at the top and bottom, with a width of 100%. The wrapper div has height: 100%, box-sizing: border-box, and top and bottom padding equal to the height of the top and bottom divs, respectively. This causes it to fill the viewport but have padding underneath the top and bottom divs. The middle div has a height of 100% so it fills the content box of the wrapper (i.e., 100% minus the top and bottom paddings). It has position: relative, which leaves you free to use height: 100% on both interior boxes.
Lastly, middleleft is positioned absolutely and middleright has a left margin equal to its width, which causes it to fill the remaining horizontal space.
height: 100% never works like you want it to. The CSS specifications dictate that it must equal the height of the browser window, or the closest parent block-level element with an absolute height specified. That means that this code will should not work as expected:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Want the body to fill the page? Too bad!</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.page {
padding-top: 50px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
}
.header {
margin-top: -50px;
height: 50px;
}
.body {
height: 100%;
background: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<div class="header">
<h1>Too bad!</h1>
</div>
<div class="body">
<p>Hello cruel world...</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
However, that works fine in Chrome. Why? I can only assume that Google decided to specifically go against web standards because in this case, the standards make no sense. Why would I want something to be the exact height of the browser window? The only time is a <div> wrapping the whole page; in this case a simple "height is relative to the parent block" rule works just fine without breaking expectations elsewhere.
There is a way around this, though. At least, that's what I wanted to say before I tried this in Firefox too. Another way to get height: 100% (with some restrictions) is with position: absolute. However, it would seem that Firefox isn't respecting position: relative on a display: table-cell element - probably those pesky standards again. Here's the code for this technique anyway, if you are interested:
#wrapper > div > #middleleft {
position: relative;
}
.scroll-pane {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
So what can you do? Well, unfortunately, I don't yet know the answer to that. A kludgy solution would be to have Javascript set the height to an absolute pixel value, and attach an event to window resizing in order to update that height. I'll get back to you if I find a better way.
I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do, but another method would be to set body height to 100%, then set scrollpane to "height: auto". Then for the "top" and "bottom" div's used fixed positioning, plus margin equal to top/bottom height.
body {
height: 100%;
}
.top {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
}
.middle {
height: auto;
margin: 100px auto;
}
.bottom {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
}
<div class="top">content</div>
<div class="middle">content</div>
<div class="bottom">content</div>
Try that...
I have a CSS background image that will stay centered no matter what the browser size is. The image used does not stretch the entire width of the browser. This being the case, I need the divs I have also placed in the CSS with background images and links to maintain their position relative to the background image that stays centered no matter what the browser size is.
I have dabbled around with.
position:relative;
but it cascades all the elements and doesn't allow specific positioning that I am looking for. Here is the code I am working with. I appreciate any insight to my newb question, and look forward to learning how this behaves better.
When this code is viewed on different sized browsers, with a background image that does not span the entire width, the elements move around because they are set to percentage. I need them to stay where they are but remain centered with the background. I am not sure how to write this in CSS and have been struggling with it for some time. Thankyou for any guidance on this specific issue.
body {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
}
#logo {
margin: 0px 11%;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
}
try grouping elements you want to put next to it together inside a div ~say container~ and set the background to the div.
Then set the div ~container~ position to relative and center it.
Then align other elements using position absolute and top bottom left right property wrt the ~container~div.
here is the code for it
<div id="container">
<div id="element1"></div>
<div id="element1"></div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
width: 800px; height: 400px
position: relative;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
margin-top: -200px; margin-left: -400px }
#element1 {
position: absolute;
top: -30px; left: -20px;}
#element2 {
position: absolute;
top: 410px; left: 820px;}
</style>
Hey guys I simply cannot get this to work.
I have some content that is centred on the page using the margin: auto; "trick".
In this content I have an image. I need to make a color bar coming under the image continuing out to the sides of the browser. On the right side I need it to look like its coming up onto the image.
I have made this picture to try an graphically show what I mean: image
As you can see the bar runs from the left to the right side of the browser. The centred image is just placed on top of it and then an image positioned on the top of the image. But I haven't been able to get this working. Any one who would give it a go?
I tried positioning the bar relative and z-index low. This worked but the bar keep jumping around in IE 7-8-9. Centring the image wasn't easy either and placing that smaller image on top was even harder. It wouldn't follow the browser if you resized it. The problem here is that the user have to be able to upload a new picture so I cant just make a static image.
Please help I am really lost here
EDIT:
Tried the example below but when I run the site in IE 7-8-9 I have different results. link
I have made a jsFiddle which should work in Chrome and IE7-9: http://jsfiddle.net/7gaE9/
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="bar1"></div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/200/300"/>
<div id="bar2"></div>
</div>
CSS
#container{
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
#bar1{
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
}
#bar2{
background-color: blue;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
z-index: 3;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
position: absolute;
}
img{
text-align: center;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
The key here is that the container is positioned relative, thus enabling absolute positioning of the child elements in relation to their parent. Use z-index to control how the elements are stacked.
A method I use for centering anything with css is:
.yourclass {
width:500px;
position:absolute;
margin-left:50%;
left:-250px;
}
'left' must be have of your width and then make it negative.
To date I have not experienced any problems with this.
