Body not extending to bottom of the content - css

My body is extending only to the bottom of my browser, but not to the bottom of the content. I need to have the background one colour, and the body content another, but i can't seem to make it work.
Here is the css
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
* html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html {
background-color: pink;
}
body {
margin: auto;
max-width: 500px;
min-width: 300px;
background-color: orange;
}
#header {
background: url('http://placehold.it/400x400/0191C8') center;
background-size: cover;
height: 50%;
}
#updown {
font-size: 150%;
}

JSFiddle
Wrap your content in a <section> (or <div> or whatever you want) and then give it the style:background-color:orange;.
Another alternative is to extend the closing </div> of updown and place it at the end of your content. Then give that a style of background-color:orange;.
But this will of course change the font-size of the whole thing.
JSFiddle - Second option.

"I need to have the background one colour, and the body content another".
This doesn't make any sense. The "background" is the . The is at the top of the DOM.
You should assign a background color to the body, and wrap all of your content in a wrapper div or content block then give that a different color.

How to change CSS with our requirement

I am using sb-admin project how to set CSSpage wrapper ... it shows small background. I don't know why.
please check
body {
background-color: #000216;
height:100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#page-wrapper {
padding: 0 15px;
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #F4E8FF;
}
If you're talking about the colored background not expanding with the content...I would try adding float:left on the wrapper and page-wrapper selectors in your CSS.

moving text over an image, without the image moving

I have a banner that I am trying to add a text to the bottom portion of it. I got the text centered and how I want to be, but when I want to move the text to the bottom of the page, the picture moves too.
HTML
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.art-banner { background-image: url("graphics/art_banner.jpg"); height: 150px;}
.art-banner-text { width: 940px; height: 50px; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); }
.art-banner-text h2 { text-align: center; padding-top: 10px; font-family: "Bender";}
.art-banner-text span { color: #eb6623; }
JSFiddle
Presuming you're trying to use margin-top to move the art-banner-text down, you're running into the collapsing margin problem: the margin is shared between the inner div and the outer one, meaning the outer one gets the margin too.
So the solution is not to use margins, but position:relative for the outer div and position:absolute for the inner one, with bottom:0 to position it at the bottom of the outer one.
.art-banner {
background-image: url("https://photos-2.dropbox.com/t/2/AAAtS4UXAnyf0x4vH0ty5lE779vFfS2smjUWyJFsFwnMPg/12/18401260/jpeg/32x32/1/1437685200/0/2/art_banner.jpg/COyP4wggASACIAMgBCAFIAYgBygBKAIoBw/L9JVtmzn-g-n3CMbDujkZkXxzuwR9ntwvtEoBLNl_4g?size=1024x768&size_mode=2");
height: 150px;
position: relative;
}
.art-banner-text {
width: 940px;
height: 50px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
.art-banner-text h2 {
text-align: center;
padding-top: 10px;
font-family: "Bender";
margin: 0;
}
.art-banner-text span {
color: #eb6623;
}
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
(Note that I had to change the URI for the image, to make it show up. What you had was the URI for the dropbox page that displays the image, not the image itself.)
You need to have the outer container ( which is .art-banner-text) set to position:relative; and set the inner div or element to absolute to place it where you want. https://jsfiddle.net/2ryrnxz7/
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
css
.art-banner { background-image: url("https://www.dropbox.com/s/migdkqlmse8ym0t/art_banner.jpg?dl=0"); height: 150px;}
.art-banner-text { width: 940px; height: 50px; position: relative; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); }
.art-banner-text h2 { font-family: "Bender"; margin: auto 0; padding:0px; bottom:0px; position:absolute; left:35%}
.art-banner-text span { color: #eb6623; }
You can set the left to whatever % you want to push towards the middle. This won't work for mobile as it is set and won't reposition itself with the page. But if you just need it to work for desktop, this is how to do it.
It sounds like you might want to use CSS positioning. For example .art-banner {position: relative;} .art-banner-text {position: absolute;} You can then position, move, or animate the text in the inner div without affecting the outer div.

How do i wrap a parent div to the width of a child div (dialog)?

Jsfiddle to demonstrate my issue.
I have a SPA (Single Page Application).
In the appliation several dialogs can popup on the screen.
Every popup has it own width and height.
The title and content of the dialogs are added by angularJs
The problem i have here is the size of the dialog.
Currently all popups are made and added seperatly. I want to change this into one popup with variable content. The problem that comes with this is that the popup must wrap the contents width.
Example (as shown in the Jsfiddle)
<div class="dialog">
<div class="titlebar"></div>
<div class="content">
The content that is added has css that tells it has a width of 400px
This means the dialog needs to wrap to this 400px
</div>
</div>
How do i solve this by only using CSS?
Some examples of the variation of popups (although the width of both look the same, this is not the case)
Use display:table for the dialog.
Here is your Updated Fiddle.
For young browser you may use :
1) display:flex; property (includes centering) DEMO
.backdrop {
position: fixed;
top:0;
}
.backdrop {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 100;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.dialog {
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
2) max-content as value for width and not set any width to inner
content . (exept some padding to keep room for the close button) :
DEMO
Info on W3C about those new keywords value, soon avalaible i hope.
CSS updated
.dialog {
width: max-content;
z-index: 101;
margin: auto;
/* basic way t o center */
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin:-80px -150px;
}
.titlebar {
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
background-color: #000000;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
}
.title{
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size: x-large;
padding:0 50px 0 10px;
}
.close_button {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
line-height:30px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: #ffd549;
color: #000000;
}
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.content-width {
background-color:#FFF000;
}
or as already said , use the display: table, inline-table
Using display: inline-block; text-align: center;
Works in ie >= 8.
Fiddle.
I don't understand the problem.
If you want to center the content-width div element, simply add margin: auto;.
If you want the container to fit the WIDTH of its content, you must change the display property from block to something else, like inline-block or table (as suggested by #jacelysh).
What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
A div without a set width will take up the width of the parent.
try this.
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
min-width: 100%;
}
.content-width {
width: 100%;
background-color:#FFF000;
}

Checking again now. You can just remove the width from those two classes and it will work.
This is what you want I think.

CSS - problem with fixed height div

Basically I can't get the div that holds all the content to move down with the content itself. If I take out the fixed height on the comborder div it disappears. The content remains in place, though over the bg image. Does anyone see any solution to this? I've tried a whole lot and can't come up with anything. I just want to base the height of the content div on the height of the content, like a div usually works. Thanks a bunch!
Here's the site: http://www.drdopamine.com/kineticaid/community.php?page=profile&id=1
Here's the relevant CSS:
.wrap {margin: 0 auto; }
.abs { position:absolute; }
.rel { position:relative; }
div.comborder {
width:900px;
height:600px;
background-image: url(http://www.drdopamine.com/kineticaid/pics/bg.jpg);
-moz-border-radius: 30px;
border-radius: 30px;
z-index: 10;
}
div.comcon {
background-color: white;
top: 25px;
right: 25px;
bottom: 25px;
left: 25px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
z-index: 11;
}
Here's the relevant HTML:
<div class="comborder wrap rel" style="margin-top:100px;opacity:0.9;z-index:80;">
<div class="comcon abs" style="opacity:none;">
<div class="comhold rel" style="height:100%;width:100%;border:1px solid transparent;">
<?php
if($_GET['page'] == "profile") {
include_once('profile.php');
}
if($_GET['page'] == "editprofile") {
include_once('editprofile.php');
}
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Do this:
body.combody {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-clip: border-box;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("http://www.psdgraphics.com/file/blue-sky-background.jpg");
background-origin: padding-box;
background-position: left center;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-size: 110% auto;
height: 100%;
}
div.comborder {
background-image: url("http://www.drdopamine.com/kineticaid/pics/bg.jpg");
border-radius: 30px 30px 30px 30px;
height: 100%;
width: 900px;
z-index: 10;
}
What is important to notice is that both the body and the div have a 100% height.
That might help you.
Absolute positioning removes the content div (and everything else) from the flow of the page. That makes it so the containers don't know the size of the inner elements.
Remove all the .abs classes from everything inside the container, and the white background will correctly stretch as you want. However, it also stretches over the black border, so you'd have to find different way to create it.
More general advice:
.wrap {margin: 0 auto; }
.abs { position:absolute; }
.rel { position:relative; }
These are just plain bad ideas. It looks like you saw or were told about always putting CSS into a CSS file and never in HTML; a good idea when done right, but classes should identify content, not styles. For example:
.sidebar-image { /* css here */ }
.sidebar-donate ( /* css here */ }
.sidebar-infobox { /* css here */ }
It creates duplicate position: tags and so on, but it's also much easier to understand and much easier to get the results you want, since fixing your current problem involves editing the HTML when it should be a CSS problem.

100% height for multiple divs

I usually have my structure laid out something like this:
<div id="all">
<div id="page">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</div>
Where the body will hold a background pattern, "all" will hold a dropshadow for the page going up and down, and "page" may often have a repeating-y background as well.
I have tried variations on using the css height/min-height properties:
html, body {
height:100%;
...
}
#all {
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
}
#page {
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
height:auto !important;
}
It seems like if I remove height:auto from "all" then it seems like it works UNTIL you scroll, then after the scroll the background for all dissappears
example
However if I keep the height:auto there then I get the problem of the background for page not working
example
Hopefully someone knows a fix?
Well, here's what I ended up with for the CSS:
html, body {
height:100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #494949;
text-align: center;
background-color: #3f91a7;
background-image: url(images/bg_body.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: center top;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
#all {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height:100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/
min-height:100%; /* real browsers */
height:auto !important;
background-image: url(images/bg_all.png);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center top;
overflow: hidden;
}
#page {
width: 993px;
padding: 0 0 10000px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: -10000px;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: left;
background-color: #FFF;
background-image: url(images/bg_page.jpg);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
height:100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/
min-height:100%; /* real browsers */
height:auto !important;
}
#header, #footer {
text-align: center;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 20px;
}
#content {
padding: 25px;
}
I haven't had a chance to test it in anything other than Firefox, but, hoipefully it will give you a good start.
I would just flip the location of your div#all and div#page...
<div id="page">
<div id="all">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</div>
Although the question was posted some years ago, I ran into the same challenge and found this earlier thread today. Although I reckon there might be more fine solutions by now, I wanted to share the one I found today nevertheless.
Had the same problem, background 1 full screen, adaptive and fully below everything else and another repeating(-y) background number 2 should go on top, but not scroll out of sight because it was set to follow the height of the window which was given to the particular div which holds background 2.
Let's start with the divs I created:
<div id="full_background">
<img src="images/bkg_main.jpg" alt="" />
<div id="absolute">Contains background set to repeat-y</div>
<div id="content">Contains the content</div>
</div>
the css looks like this:
* { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
html { height: 100%; }
body { height: 100%; }
#full_background { width: 100%; min-height: 100%; position: relative; float: left; }
#full_background>img { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; position: fixed; width: 100%; z-index: 1; display: block; }
#full_background>div { position: relative; z-index: 2; }
#absolute { position: fixed !important; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: url("../images/bkg2.png") top left repeat-y; }
#content { width: 290px; margin-left: 20px; padding: 30px; line-height: 1.7em; font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif; position: relative; float: left; }
First off, I added a full screen & resizing background image to my site (using the div full_background and the img tag) using the following solution (very easy css solution which works like a charm in every browser and most older versions down to for example IE7) - http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-256494.html > see last answer by aj_nsc
Next, using the following jQuery method - http://nicholasbarger.com/2011/08/04/jquery-makes-100-height-so-much-easier/ - I created a div with id = absolute, which is given the same height as the browser window (also on resizing). I placed my repeating(-y) background number 2 in here. Set this div to position:fixed and it will stay put when the div with the content is being scrolled through.
Then below this div you put the div with your content, which freely expands downwards beyond the browser window.
Upon scrolling, the two backgrounds will keep filling the full area of the browser window (vertically as well) at all times and stay put, with the content scrolling up and down over them.
This way, upon resizing, you also make sure that both backgrounds keep filling the full background area at all times.
I tested this solution in CH, FF, IE7-9 and Safari and it worked in all of them without any problems whatsoever.
Here's what's happening: You've set html & body to have a height of 100%, but that 100% is the height of the viewport, not the document. Since #all's height is set to 100%, it is set to 100% of the parent's height, which happens to be body, which is set at 100% of the height of the viewport. Everything's inheriting the height of the viewport.
The way to fix this problem is actually the same way you would fix clearing floats that have an outer container. All you have to do is put overflow:auto; on #all. You don't even need any height declarations on any other elements, and you may be able to eliminate either the #all or the #page div.
More info here: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/02/26/simple-clearing-of-floats/
Have you tried:
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#all {
min-height: 100%;
}
? Only for IE 6, you should set height: 100%; for #all (because it interprets that basically as min-height (as a result of a bug). As IE6 doesn't understand the min-height attribute, height effectively becomes a replacement for min-height).
If you set height: 100%; for other browsers, they will take it as 100% height of the viewport, not 100% of the page, so scrolling won't work correctly.
My comment on the downvote:
It has become clear, that my answer doesn't solve the whole problem. What we have here, seems to be quite a complex case - at least no one here seems to have found an answer yet? I've even looked into Ingo Chao's excellent (German) book, which comes to the same conclusion: Setting the parent's height won't work, and setting the child's height won't work, if the parent's height wasn't set explicitly, but rather dynamically by the size of the content.
But my answer could still help to restrict the possibilities a little bit - because setting height on #all will most likely not work on any browser except IE 6. If you disagree, please post a comment, because in that case, I'd also like to learn more about this.
This worked for me:
#page {
width: 993px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: left;
background-color: #FFF;
background-image: url(http://jeffkilroy.com/hosted/layout1/images/bg_page.jpg);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
/* height:100%; IE6: treaded as min-height*/
height: expression(document.body.offsetHeight); /* sets min-height for IE */
overflow: auto;
min-height:100%; /* real browsers */
/* height:auto !important; */
}
Forget 100% on the divs, try moving your background image to the html element and the full height border to the body.
html {
height:100%;
background-color: blue;
}
body {
margin: auto auto;
padding: 0;
color: #494949;
/*min-height: 100%; */
height:100%; /*for ie6*/
border-left:solid 2px red;
border-right:solid 2px red;
background-color:#fff;
width: 960px;
}
Have you tried this :
function getWindowHeight() {
var windowHeight = 0;
if (typeof(window.innerHeight) == 'number') {
windowHeight = window.innerHeight;
}
else {
if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
windowHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else {
if (document.body && document.body.clientHeight) {
windowHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
}
}
return windowHeight;
}
window.onload = init;
function init(){
document.getElementByID("all").style.height = getWindowHeight() + "px";
}
Or put page instead of all
