In my homemade CSS grid i have a problem.
If my .row edges touches the body edge, it will generate overflow.
See demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/57BGe/3/ UPDATED FOR EXPLANATION
.row {
margin: 0 -15px;
}
How could i prevent the overflow? (overflow: none, won't work since you still can scroll on phone and with some force on desktop)
* UPDATE *
If you look at Bootstrap #http://getbootstrap.com/css/
Try using dev console and change the margin-left of .row to something that would make overflow on body. (e.g. -150px)
If i do this, i still cant scroll horisontal.
You need to reset the Browsers agent stylesheet which automatically sets margin and padding on the body and html, then you can get rid of the negative margin:
body, html {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Give that a try.
Found a solution.
I tried to put overflow: hidden on body and html, but i could still scroll.
So i made a container with overflow: hidden, and wrapped everything inside it.
That made it work just fine. Abit of a dirty workaround, but it had to be done.

I have the following site that is using a CSS sheet I inheritated from the last dev.
http://bit.ly/1m0LZjZ
Everything seems okay except for the menu. Originally in the #nav (Line 381 of the style sheet) CSS the width was a fixed 960px. I changed this to 100% by user request and now cannot get the text to center?
I used text-align:center and also commented out the ul elements use of float:left thinking that was the problem. What else can I try?
You need to center the wrapping div, which has width: 950px.
#menu-main
{
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden; /* to clear floats */
}
EDIT: Think about clearing your floats in #menu-main.
For example you could add overflow: hidden on #menu-main, that would clear containing floats.
I had big trouble with printing from Firefox (any version, mine is 16.0.2, but even Aurora dev builds did the same).
When printing the page, Shrink to fit in the Print preview doesn't work. Only way, how to fit the page onto the paper is selecting Zoom 70% in the same dialog.
Other problem:
it prints only first page.
What to do?
I needed to adapt the CSS file for printing, so I've done one. It works flawlessly anywhere, but not in Firefox. What was the problem?
First I've tried specifying Width and height for BODY and HTML in the print.css file. Than margins, etc.
Later I figured out what was the problem:
standard CSS file had the following in it:
body {
...
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
So I've added the following into the print.css file:
body {
overflow-x: visible;
overflow-y: visible;
}
I guess, if you had only overflow specified in the CSS, not -x & -y, you would need to specify only overflow:visible in the print.css file.
Printing from Firefox works now as it should. I just thought, that this may help somebody, who has strange printing behavior happening in Firefox.
In addition to the Kokesh's answer, some times attribute
display: table
generates this problem too. So you need change it to 'block' or another that fits to your requeriments.
I tried the fixes suggested in other answers but they didn't solve the problem for me. After a lot of research and trial & error, I have found this article by A list apart. I was skeptical because it's so old but it states that:
If a floated element runs past the bottom of a printed page, the rest of the float will effectively disappear, as it won’t be printed on the next page.
As I have a big floated container I thought I'd give it a try. So, I made a mix from the other answers and this article and came up with this:
body {
overflow: visible !important;
overflow-x: visible !important;
overflow-y: visible !important;
}
/*this is because I use angular and have this particular layout*/
body > .fade-ng-cloak {
height: 100%;
display: block;
flex: none;
float: none;
}
.l-content,
.l-sidebar {
float: none;
}
So basically:
Setting body to overflow: visible
Setting elements that behave as wrappers to display: block, eliminate all flex styles and reset height if necessary
Eliminate float on long containers
That mix worked for me! I'm so happy I thought I'd share :)
I've noticed that if I view the page at wider resolution, the content of a section gets aligned to the right, instead of centered.
I use
margin: 0 auto;
width: 998px;
overflow: hidden;
It seems to have this bug, at least in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I tried disabling overflow: hidden and it gets rid of the bug, but messes up my floats inside the content.
You can see an example at the page live here:
http://autouncle.dk/da/brugte-biler/Kia or http://autouncle.dk/da/brugte-biler/Ford (you have to view it at at least 1500px widescreen to see the bug).
Any ideas on what can cause this bug and what are possible solutions?
About the reason of the problem: this is due to the page-title element of your header:
#header-outer element contains some floated elements but you forgot a clearing, so the offset left of the main section of your site starts where the page-title ends. (you can verify this by hiding page-title element — when you set display: none the page is correctly centered)
So adding
body#basic_page #header-outer {
overflow: hidden;
}
you solve the problem
As a sidenote strongly avoid to put empty div only for clearing purposes: there're cleaner methods that don't require extra markup, like easyclearing
Your solution is removing overflow: hidden
To fix the float bug on the second example you gave try to use 100% of the width:
body#basic_page.brands_controller #content .text_info {
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
width: 100%; /* new rule */
}
Remove the
overflow:hidden
from div#content and put its contents in an extra <div> in it which has
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
This resolves the problem for me.
I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I haven't been working with html/css that much...
There is a gap of white space in between the top of the browser and the first div. I don't really get why the gap is there. I didn't use margin-top or padding-top or border-top in the css, so why is there a gap?
Thanks!
While it would be extremely helpful if you actually posted some code or a link to the site, I would assume it's just the default padding. Most browsers have default styles for things like body that you may want to clear. Try something like this:
html, body{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
If that doesn't fix it you'll need to give more information.
Without seeing anything I'd imagine you either need to clear the default padding on the body element or you have a heading tag in that div that is adding some extra goodness.
Are you using a reset? http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
if the page is wrapped with a wrapper, use:
#wrap{
margin:0 auto;
padding:0
}
Once again, some context would be nice but if these solutions aren't cutting it, then there's a good change your a victim of collapsing margins. Try setting the overflow property of the body to auto
I had the same problem. Floating the upper divs solved it.
I had the same problem. It was fixed when I added 30px of padding to my div container. I used
.top-container {
padding-top: 30px;
}
My problem happened after I set some images to an absolute position in my div (which had a position of relative.) For some reason that gap appeared, but setting the padding worked for me.
I know this is 9 years old but...
body { margin:0; }
type that in between the Tags and it should work
*I'm re-posting this question because I only got one response before, and it didn't work. Hopefully someone new will see this and know what to do! *
I'm using IP Net Renderer to view my newly installed forum (http://www.datesphere.com/forum/) in IE7. If you care to take a look, you can see the forum is overflowing its containing element (it's wider than the 960px container I have for my entire site).
I've tried adding overflow:hidden to the .wrapper class as well as width:100% to .tborder per advice received on StackOverflow, but it didn't work.
The forum renders correctly in IE8+, FF, Chrome and Safari, but not IE 7. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
If you use IE9/8 and run the Developer toolbar you will notice that the global.css that is being generated is different for IE7 from IE8. Take a look at what is generating that Style Sheet for you and see if you can modify it to make the MIN-WIDTH:930px; or MIN-WIDTH:100%;
Or a second option add somewhere after the glboal.css style sheet a inline-style or on page css or link another style sheet .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:930px !important; } or .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:100% !important; } so that it overrides whats generated in the global.css file.
IE7:
.wrapper {
MIN-WIDTH: 970px; MARGIN: auto; WIDTH: 85%; MAX-WIDTH: 1500px
}
IE8:
.wrapper {
MARGIN: auto
}
Change your min-width value for your wrapper class. You can set an static width or set it to 100%.
Remove #wrapper div
And set IE7 specific .tborder {display:inline-table}
