CSS auto width div - css

This is driving me nuts.
The situation is as follows.
I have 1 wrapper div that needs to span the entire width / height of the screen.
I need 1 div that is positioned on the right hand of the screen and has a fixed width (eg. 100px;).
Then the other div needs to span the remaining left half of the screen (no further !).
Note: I don't want to float the elements, I really need the divs to span the entire height of the screen, because a Google Map will be loaded into the div.
I am aware of the calc function in css, but I don't want to use it, because IE8 doesn't support it.

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
</div>
#wrapper{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: greenyellow;
}
#left{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: auto;
background: blue;
}
#right{
position: absolute;
right: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 200px;
background: yellow;
}
This doesn't work at all.
I have tried all sorts of things, but I just can't get it to work.

Have you tried to use position: fixed for your #Wrapper
#wrapper{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
background: greenyellow;
}
#left{
background: red;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
height: 100%;
right: 100px;
}
#right{
background: blue;
position: fixed;
width: 100px;
top: 0;
height: 100%;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px
}
Above is the updated code that works for me

Escape Stacking Context of z-index

I have a CSS problem with a couple of parts. The first part is that I need an absolute positioned :after element to be visible above a fixed position element. The second part is that I need to be able to have a modal as a child of that fixed element that will cover the whole screen. Here's a simplified version of my app.
HTML
<body>
<div class='header'></div>
<div class='nav'></div>
<div class='content'>
<div class='modal'></div>
</div>
<div class='footer'></div>
</body>
CSS
.header {
position: fixed;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
}
.nav {
position: fixed;
top: 50px;
height: calc(100vh - 100px);
width: 100px;
z-index: 1;
}
.nav:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 100%;
margin: auto;
height: 0;
border-left: solid 10px black;
border-top: solid 10px transparent;
border-bottom: solid 10px transparent;
}
.content {
position: fixed;
top: 50px;
left: 100px;
height: calc(100vh - 100px);
width: calc(100vw - 100px);
}
.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
}
.modal {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
z-index: 2;
}
A codepen: https://codepen.io/winterblack/pen/ypBOqz
I can either have a z-index: -1 on my content element, or a z-index: 1 on my nav element. Either way, it gets in the way of the modal, which must have the content element a its parent.
The best solution I can think of right now is to use z-index: -1 on the content element, and remove it when the modal is opened. That will have the strange effect of having the absolute element disappear while the modal is opened...not too big of a deal probably, but not ideal. Any other ideas?
If you changed the position of content to relative, would that be an ok compromise for what you're trying?
.content {
position: relative;
top: 50px;
left: 100px;
height: calc(100vh - 100px);
width: calc(100vw - 100px);
background: aquamarine;
}

CSS absolute position, z-index

This must be really simple but I'm stuck.
I have a header and below I have a full height/width block that is absolutely positioned. This will be a map but I have just used a coloured block to make it simple.
On top of this background I need the page that is 100% height in the middle. I thought I could use the z-index to show this on top of the absolutely positioned background but the page is always behind the 'bg' div
I know I'm missing something simple
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
.header{
background: black;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
}
.bg{
background: red;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
.page{
background: grey;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 500px;
z-index: 10;
}
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="bg"></div>
<div class="page"></div>
z-index has no effect on statically-positioned elements (which is the default). It affects relative, absolute and fixed ("positioned") elements. A common hack would be to add position:relative to your .page.
To force an absolute positioned element for indexing you could use it in negative.
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
.header{
background: black;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
}
.bg{
background: red;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
.page{
background: grey;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 500px;
z-index: 10;
}
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="bg"></div>
<div class="page"></div>

How to add an image on top of a fixed position container?

I would like to create a following shaped notice bar on the bottom of my webpage (sticky).
Here is my HTML
<div class="notice-container">
<div class="wave"></div>
<div>
<p>Content here</p>
</div>
</div>
And here is my CSS, I tried several things, but here is the latest:
.notice-container {
display: block;
height: auto;
background-color: #ccc;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.wave:after {
content: "";
background-image: url('../wave.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
margin: -30px;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Since the container has a position: fixed, how can I get the repeat-x work on the wave? I would like to display the background-image on top of the container div.
Your pseudo element needs display: block; and also a specified height attribute. Since the value auto would just tell it to extend to fit its contents (and it has none), then the height value would remain 0.
.wave:after {
content: "";
display: block; /* <- Add this */
background-image: url('../wave.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
margin: -30px;
width: 100%;
height: 60px; /* Or whatever your wave.png requires */
}
Place your url and justice the sizes of image in background-size. Also do not forget to change needed height of pseudo element which is also needs to configure margin-top and top
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
border: 5px solid red;
border-top: 0;
margin-top: 20px;
position: relative;
}
footer:after {
width: 100%;
display: block;
content: '';
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top:-20px;
background-image: url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/z4HMY.png);
background-size: 10% 20px;
}
<footer></footer>

center overflowing div inside smaller div

I have a div with the id of #container, I have another div inside og it with the id of #content. The #content div has a larger size than the #container div, and I need it centeret horizontally and vertically inside of the #container div.
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
The CSS I have tried is.
#container {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0;
margin: auto;
}
#content {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0;
margin: auto;
}
Though the sizes of the divs in the example are static values, the height will be changing all the time, so a dynamic solution is needed.
You can position them absolutely and then use CSS3 transforms to drag them back into place.
JSfiddle Demo
CSS
#container {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left:50%;
-webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
background-color: #663399;
}
#content {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left:50%;
-webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.5);
}

IE 6 has a double margin on float issue as explained here: http://www.cssnewbie.com/double-margin-float-bug/#.Uoo6xflgfTQ
add
display: inline;
to your floated elements to fix that.
However, in your code, i've seen you use both floats and position: fixed so,
you can remove all the floats altogether and it will solve the issue without changing the layout.
