CSS transforms not pixel perfect - css

I have the following example for an off-canvas menu: http://jsfiddle.net/pwghdvoh/
When you click the button in the top left of the blue header, it moves the main app view to reveal the hidden menu.
It does this using the following CSS:
.showSidebar .app
{
-webkit-transform: translateZ(-20px)
translateX(240px);
transform: translateZ(-20px)
translateX(240px);
}
However I'm finding that on various resolutions that the app is not moved 240px to the right and 20px offset from the the top and bottom... If you look at the screenshot, you can see that it's too close to the top and bottom of the screen, it should have 20px at the top and bottom.
Could this be caused by the perspective of the wrapper being incorrect?
I do this dynamically using jQuery:
$('.wrapper').css({
'perspective': $(window).width(),
'-webkit-perspective': $(window).width()
});
So it's always the perspective of the viewport width. But this doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Any ideas?

Instead of giving width: 100% and height: 100% to the .wrapper class, I added position absolute and stretched it to its parent container which is body element. and when the side bar is viewed, I gave the top and bottom properties as 20px which overrides the already provided 0px value.
.wrapper {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
.wrapper.showSidebar {
top: 20px;
bottom: 20px;
}

Make absolute positioned nested child the width of container

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;

How to show an image below a div both horizontally centered on the page?

I have this layout:
Code here: http://m6000225.ferozo.com/test/
I need the blue and brown image to lay below the main content div, and both be aligned regardless of the window width, both centered horizontally.
I implemented a css tip I read on this site, which is having a div with absolute position and left: 50% and an img inside with relative position and left: -50%.
It works fine, except for the fact that it pushes the page width to the right, as you can see in the screenshot, the scrollbar can be seen.
3rd party lib solutions like jQuery are welcome, but I'd prefer plain CSS.
PS: I also need something similar below the footer, but I guess using the same solution with a negative bottom value should work, right?
PS2: Extending the blue-brown strip to both borders of the window is no problem as I already used another div with absolute position and background-repeat: repeat-x.
The scroll bar is appearing because of the left: 50%; on the class .header-image. You should drop that altogether. Since that tag has a width set, when you push it over 50% it falls outside the window forcing the scroll bar to appear.
After you drop the left call, you should then set the width of that div to the width of the window, not a specific value in pixels. Use Width: 100%. So, that tag should look like:
.header-image {
height: 245px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
After that, you'll need to re-center the image contained within the div. To do that, instead of using positions (which rely on set boundaries), give the element auto margins. Use :
.header-image img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
That will recenter the image. Please let me know if this is what you were looking for!
Per Paulie_D's suggestion:
.header-image {
position:absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
height: 245px;
background-image: url('header.png');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
That did it.

Page looks different in iPad view - CSS issue

I have an issue on this page when I open it on iPad. Crimson colored top identification header goes to left and then on the right side you can see a blank space. All other major browsers including Safari shows the page as it should be except iPad. Here's the screen shot from iPad view. Any ideas whats wrong with it?
First off, it looks like you have the university logo in the upper left set as both a background image and a regular image within the <a>. Removing the regular image fixes the problem seen in both your iPad screenshot and in my desktop browser where the logo is cut off on the left and "ity" repeats in "University".
I don't have an ipad in front of me, but it's possible that might fix the problem with the right space as well. You might want to consider adding a margin-right to the form in the header so the "Go" button isn't right up against the edge of the window at 1024px resolution.
The content in your #signature div is bigger than your #signature div, so the background isn't stretching to fit the content (you can get the same reaction by shrinking the size of your window and scrolling to the left or right).
Fixes:
Remove left: -5px; from #signature a.iu
Add background: #7D110C to #signature
Change right: 0 on #signature form to right: 5px.
That should straighten things up.
EDIT
Here's what your updated styles should look like.
#identity #signature {
height: 44px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 990px;
background: #7D110C;
}
#identity #signature a.iu {
background: url(pw_files/img/iu_crimson.gif) no-repeat 20px 0;
display: block;
height: 44px;
position: relative;
top: 0;
width: 250px;
}
#identity form {
height: 44px;
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 0;
}
I pulled these styles out of screen.css

Background image centered and div elements position based on percentage relative to main bg image

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>

CSS positioning images on top of eacother and make center bar

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.
