CSS responsive images - css

I've been trying to adjust these styles.
On this page: http://69.195.124.215/~vtiffcom/about-vtiff/.
I have a div for my logo and one for the subhead. The logo is the icon. The subhead is the text "Vermont International Film Festival"
When the browser resizes, the subhead falls under the logo, then begins resize according to browser width. I'd like to resize, then fall under the logo.
I know the second step will come from style applied to the media query, but how do I get it to resize until the first media query.
I've tried most combinations of width/max-width/height:auto, but I can't get the subhead to resize prior to falling underneath the logo.
Thanks--

Remove the float: left; and float: right; from the 2 elements. Add display: inline-block; to id=container2 and give it a percentage width: 60%; or so.. that should get you covered. Enjoy :)

See my Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Whre/acsa9/
What I did there is applying a width (in percent) to the image's parent elements instead of max-width.
Your approach of img { max-width:100%; } was absolutely correct apart from that.

Logo overlapping text when responding to screen sizes

I'm pretty new to coding and need to pick some of your brains in order to fix this issue which is occurring on a holding page that I'm currently coding.
The company logo is positioned in the bottom corner and at certain screen size overlaps and interferes with the text (when you manually resize the browser window). I've used media queries so this doesn't happen on devises.
I'm not sure whats possible, but I always need the logo to be in the bottom right hand corner. But I'd like the logo to disappear from the screen when the logo starts interfere with the text , ideally I'd like the user to have to scroll down to see the logo at this point.
This the site in question http://embalmer-tiger-47168.bitballoon.com/
Heres My HTML
<img class="logo--master" src="assets/images/logomark.png" alt="Proud Robinson Logo">
</div>
Heres my CSS
.logos {
position: absolute;
bottom: 55px;
right: 55px;
}
.logo--master {
width: 7em;
}
Many thanks in advance :)
You would need your logo to have a relative position to your text. You can use position:relative. After that if it still doesn't respond like you would like it to, you can position it in a div that as the same width as the page (width:100%) and you can use de margin of your logo to center it (usually margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; will work, but you might have to use %). Hope this will help you.
Absolutely positioning an element takes it out of the normal flow of the page, so that other elements don't know it's there and will overlap. If you apply a right and bottom margin to .container that matches the size of the logo, the content in .container won't overlap. The logo is about 7em tall/wide (per the width you gave it in css) and is 55px from the right/bottom, so a right/bottom margin of calc(7em + 55px) on .container should leave room for the logo.
div.container {
margin: 0 calc(7em + 55px) calc(7em + 55px) 0;
}

Positioning in css, max right and left until resize of window is to small, then override the the old max and set a new max position

I've started to create a new homepage and I realized that my old methods of creating said webpage were outdated. While learning about positioning divs in css I stumbled upon a problem I really find hard to crack.
On my webpage I want to have a picture div next to a text div, I want this text div to be a minimum of 500px, but I don't want it to stretch unless the screen is wide enough to show both the picture and the text(I got this working). The problem I get is when I want to make the screen smaller, I want the text div to decrease in width until it hits 500px, if the user then shrinks the screen more the text should then, and only then overlap the picture.
Here is an example of something similar.
http://jsfiddle.net/mnSGZ/1/
The problem is when shrinking it, I don't want the horizontal scroll to appear until the black square is covering the whole gray squares width.
I understand that 'margin-left: 200px;' prevents exactly this but is there some sort of max-margin to make this work?
code from jsfiddle:
#container {
background-color: gray;
margin: 20px;
min-width: 700px;
height: 300px;
}
#nav {
background-color: black;
margin-left: 200px;
height: 50px;
}

Navigation Links Suddenly Unclickable

I'm working on a page for a class, just to display things (you can see them sorted by chapter in the body) but I originally had a list on the left that I used initially that just listed them all, and I wanted to keep it.
Problem is, once I started adding more CSS - I don't know where exactly - the area on the left just became completely unclickable. You can't highlight the text, you can't click any of it - nothing. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what is causing this.
link to the site here
here is a pastebin link showing everything I have.
thank you, i really appreciate any help.
The .content div overlaps entire body area, because of "position: absolute;"
Add z-index: 9999; to #menu in your CSS and it should be clickable.
Other way is to use "position: relative; float: left;" to both .content and #menu, but you have to be carefull with their widths. Their sum of widths (including padding and margin and border) should be less or equal to the container width. In your case it should be body tag (actually a don't see body tag in your html).
That's because your .content div is using position: absolute; so it's taken out of the page flow and overlapping your sidebar because it has no width set (block elements span the full width of your viewport unless you give it a fixed width) ... just add a negative z-index value to your .content div and it should work fine.

Can't get my div to stay fixed with layout

I'm quite new to css, divs and everything in between.
So, i created a basic layout for my band, didn't want a bunch of useless links like bio, merch store and all that. So i just decided to arrange separate spaces for our video, a player and a facebook window.
I managed to create a div for the youtube iframe, but i can't get it to stay in its place when i resize the window. I've tried changing the positioning a bunch of times to absolute, fixed, relative...etc. No luck.
Keep in my mind that the layout is nothing fancy, just something quick to look at, and get some basic info of the band.
Here's the link: http://silentcellmusic.com/test.html
Thx in advance!
First you should remove the image from the markup, and set it as background of the body, or html, for example. Set it to position top center.
Then, set the div #wrapper to { width: 960px; margin 0 auto; }. This way it will always be in the center of screen, so as your background.
Third, create four divs:
social
listen
video
Float them to the left, set their widths and margins, accordingly.
Finally add a div for your footer (social links and mailto).
Best of luck.
What you need to do is use positions. What fixed does is determine the position in relation to the window (or browser) top left corner, so it will always stay in the same place no matter how you resize it. The right way to go is to use absolute and relative.
First you need a relative container. Your image is already centered, so you could do something like:
<div id="container">...</div>
#container {width:960px; margin:0 auto; position:relative;}
Then you want your video to be in an absolutely positioned div, but INSIDE the relative one. SO your html would be:
<div id="container">
<div id="videoDiv">
your video here
</div>
</div>
And your css for the videoDiv:
#videoDIv {position:absolute; top:200px; left:200px; }
Look por css position online to understand how it works, it's actually quite simple but you need the right structure. In your case, your center tag should be the one with position relative, but make sure you change it to a div, otherwise some browsers will give a validation error.
Having said that, there are a lot of things you can do to improve your site. Once you know how to handle positions, you could re-do the layout using different images (so it's faster to load), and you can use actual text. This is quite important for search engines to recognise your site, so try at least to have keywords spread around.
Here is your CSS for the video div:
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:747px;
top:535px;
width:400px;
height:223px;
z-index:1;
#wrapper {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:960px;
}
Did you mean to declare width twice? Is the width:960px throwing off your positioning?
Get rid of the <center> tag altogether and change the css for #apDiv1 to:
#apDiv1 {
position: absolute;
left: 597px;
top: 489px;
width: 400px;
height: 223px;
z-index: 1;
}

How can I stop a css background resizing to fit the browser window?

When using a css background such as in the footer on the page below (in the elements div.footer_head and div.footer_footer), if the browser window is resized to less than about 1000px the divs themselves remain at the full width but scrolling right in the browser causes whitespace to appear where the background should be.
I was sure I'd find a similar question on here but can't seem to word it correctly enough to find it in search.
If someone could point me in the right direction I'm sure I can figure this out.
Look at how the divs with class footer_head and footer_footer behave when you resize the browser to be quite thin and scroll to the right.
screenshot http://printanomics.unbranded-nomads.co.uk/picture-2.jpg
You need to add a min-width:1000px to .footer-container.
.footer-container {
float: left;
line-height: 1.5;
margin-top: 20px;
width: 100%;
min-width: 1000px; /* add this */
}
This will mean the smallest width the .footer-container will get is 1000px. Though after that it will expand to 100%.
If you have a look at your css file you will see that the footer width is set to 100% and not 1000px as the other divs. This also applies to your background as your background won't be bigger than the div itself.
I don't know if you use this, but Firebug is a very good Firefox plugin to identify troubles in CSS files.
