Recently I have come across a problem for which I am not finding any appropriate solution.
Below is the image which gives an idea of what i am trying to achieve:
The div shown by the arrow is the mark of the problem which i am finding a solution for.
The problem is I want the div to be extended to full screen.
This div is inside a parent div who has a fixed width due to which i am not able to extend my image to full screen.
Have tried giving overflow to parent but isn't working.
I have tried below solution which is working to a certain extent but need a reliable solution.
width: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
margin-left: calc(-31.5vw);
align-content: center;
Could someone please provide some solution to this?
html, body
{width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden;}
#parent{
display: block;
background-color: yellow;
border: 1px solid red;
position: fixed;
width: 200px;
height:100%;
}
#child1{
background-color: red;
display: block;
border: 1px solid yellow;
position: absolute;
width: 100vw;
margin-left: calc(200px - 100%);
//top:0px
}
<div id="parent">parent with position: fixed
<div id="child1">child wrapper (uncomment top to fit the parent wrapper)</div>
</div>
use Viewport Sizes so it will cover the whole page (vw and vh)
#first {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background:gray;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#second{
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background:blue;
position:absolute;
}
<div id="first">
<div id="second">
something
</div>
</div>
The below code snippet should work, if I understand your question correctly. Setting the width of the child div to 100vw makes the div 100% of the width of the viewport (window).
Also note that in order to get the child to start at the left of the viewport and not the left of the parent, I gave the child a position of absolute and a left of 0. Because the parent is not positioned, it starts the left of the child at the left of the viewport (the closest positioned ancestor).
#parentDiv {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: orange;
border: 2px solid red;
}
#childDiv {
/* 100vw is 100% of the viewport width. */
width: 100vw;
height: 50px;
background-color: lightblue;
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 2px solid green;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
p {
text-align: center;
}
<html>
<body>
<div id="parentDiv">
<p>Parent</p>
<div id="childDiv"><p>Child</p></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I have created a grid and now have problems with max-width. I want to have containers which take up the available width and are restricted by a left and right margin. This containers can contain children. These children may be bigger then the parent container and may be moved with the class .move-to-right-border to the right border to take up full width on the right.
I now have added a max-width to the container, to restrict the width. But now i have the problem that i can't set child elements to take up full width. I tried with 100vw, but width 100vw the scrollbar is included. Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Maybe it gets more clear with this example, comment max-width in and out to see what i want.
.row-right {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-right: 100px;
max-width: 700px; /* to see the problem comment max-width in and out */
width: calc(100% - 100px - 200px);
border: 1px solid red;
}
.move-to-right-border {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: calc(100% + 100px);
border: 2px solid blue;
}

just use below css
CSS
.row-right p {
text-align: justify;
width : 100%
}
Hope this will help you :)
I think u r after something like this:
.parent{
position: relative;
height: 300px;
padding: 10px 0;
background-color: #99ff99;
text-align: center;
}
.container{
width: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100px;
padding: 30px 0;
background-color: #ff9999;
}
.child{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
left: 0;
background-color: #9999ff;
}
<div class="parent">
This is parent
<div class="container">
This is container
<div class="child">
This is child
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is a common question but slightly different from the solutions I found and I've been trying to solve it without success, so if someone could give me a help on this I would appreciate.
I have a #wrapper div that stretches to 100% width and height of browser. So far, so good... Now, inside the #wrapper I need a #content div that auto stretches with the parent div maintaining a 30px margin around it. I (almost) managed to do it but I can't make the #content div stretch in its height.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
This is the CSS code I have:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
cursor: default;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
position: absolute;
background: #333;
text-align: center;
}
#content {
/*width: 100%;*/
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
margin: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
}
This is the HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
This DIV should stretch to 100% height of its parent and body
minus the 30px margin around and resize as the window is resized.<br />
It's working in width but not in height!<br /><br />
Whatever goes in here (a child DIV) no matter its size should not be
visible beyond this DIV boundaries (as the Overflow is set to "hidden")!
</div>
</div>
</body>
And this is what I'm getting in both Chrome and IE:
Any help on this? Is it possible? Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks in advance,
LM
In your .css, replace #content with the following
#content {
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
right: 30px;
bottom: 30px;
}
#content {
min-height:90%;
position:absolute;
margin: 5%;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
}
I'm trying to understand what appears to be unexpected behaviour to me:
I have an element with a max-height of 100% inside a container that also uses a max-height but, unexpectedly, the child overflows the parent:
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
}
img {
display: block;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/400/500" />
</div>
This is fixed, however, if the parent is given an explicit height:
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
img {
display: block;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/400/500" />
</div>
Does anyone know why the child would not honour the max-height of its parent in the first example? Why is an explicit height required?
When you specify a percentage for max-height on a child, it is a percentage of the parent's actual height, not the parent's max-height, oddly enough. The same applies to max-width.
So, when you don't specify an explicit height on the parent, then there's no base height for the child's max-height to be calculated from, so max-height computes to none, allowing the child to be as tall as possible. The only other constraint acting on the child now is the max-width of its parent, and since the image itself is taller than it is wide, it overflows the container's height downwards, in order to maintain its aspect ratio while still being as large as possible overall.
When you do specify an explicit height for the parent, then the child knows it has to be at most 100% of that explicit height. That allows it to be constrained to the parent's height (while still maintaining its aspect ratio).
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.img1 {
display: block;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
.img2 {
display: block;
max-height: inherit;
max-width: inherit;
}
<!-- example 1 -->
<div class="container">
<img class='img1' src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x450" />
</div>
<!-- example 2 -->
<div class="container">
<img class='img2' src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x450" />
</div>
I played around a little. On a larger image in firefox, I got a good result with using the inherit property value. Will this help you?
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
max-height: 100px;
max-width: 100px;
text-align:center;
}
img {
max-height: inherit;
max-width: inherit;
}
Instead of going with max-height: 100%/100%, an alternative approach of filling up all the space would be using position: absolute with top/bottom/left/right set to 0.
In other words, the HTML would look like the following:
<div class="flex-content">
<div class="scrollable-content-wrapper">
<div class="scrollable-content">
1, 2, 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
.flex-content {
flex-grow: 1;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.scrollable-content-wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
.scrollable-content {
/* Add styling here */
}
Try it below:
.flex-content {
flex-grow: 1;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.scrollable-content-wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
html {
height: 50%;
width: 50%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.parent {
height: 100%;
outline: 1px solid red;
}
<html>
<body>
<div class="parent">
<div class="flex-content">
<div class="scrollable-content-wrapper">
<div class="scrollable-content" id="scrollable">
1, 2, 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button onClick="scrollable.innerText += '\nSome more text'" style="margin-top: 1rem;">Add Line</button>
<p>
The red outline represents the parent. Click above to add a line until overflow occurs to see that the size of the parent is not increased.
</p>
</body>
</html>
I found a solution here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/maintain-image-aspect-ratios-responsive-web-design/
The trick is possible because it exists a relation between WIDTH and PADDING-BOTTOM of an element. So:
parent:
container {
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 66%; /* for a 4:3 container size */
}
child (remove all css related to width, i.e. width:100%):
img {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
position: absolute;
display:block;
margin:0 auto; /* center */
left:0; /* center */
right:0; /* center */
}
You can use the property object-fit
.cover {
object-fit: cover;
width: 150px;
height: 100px;
}
Like suggested here
A full explanation of this property by Chris Mills in Dev.Opera
And an even better one in CSS-Tricks
It's supported in
Chrome 31+
Safari 7.1+
Firefox 36+
Opera 26+
Android 4.4.4+
iOS 8+
I just checked that vivaldi and chromium support it as well (no surprise here)
It's currently not supported on IE, but... who cares ? Also, iOS supports object-fit, but not object-position, but it will soon.
Here is a solution for a recently opened question marked as a duplicate of this question. The <img> tag was exceeding the max-height of the parent <div>.
Broken: Fiddle
Working: Fiddle
In this case, adding display:flex to the 2 parent <div> tags was the answer
Maybe someone else can explain the reasons behind your problem but you can solve it by specifying the height of the container and then setting the height of the image to be 100%. It is important that the width of the image appears before the height.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
height: 100%;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 300px;
}
.container img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/400/500" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
The closest I can get to this is this example:
http://jsfiddle.net/YRFJQ/1/
or
.container {
background: blue;
border: 10px solid blue;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
overflow:hidden;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
img {
display: block;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
The main problem is that the height takes the percentage of the containers height, so it is looking for an explicitly set height in the parent container, not it's max-height.
The only way round this to some extent I can see is the fiddle above where you can hide the overflow, but then the padding still acts as visible space for the image to flow into, and so replacing with a solid border works instead (and then adding border-box to make it 200px if that's the width you need)
Not sure if this would fit with what you need it for, but the best I can seem to get to.
A good solution is to not use height on the parent and use it just on the child with View Port :
Fiddle Example: https://jsfiddle.net/voan3v13/1/
body, html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.parent {
width: 400px;
background: green;
}
.child {
max-height: 40vh;
background: blue;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
Containers will already generally wrap their content nicely. It often doesn't work as well the other way around: children don't fill their ancestors nicely. So, set your width/height values on the inner-most element rather than the outer-most element, and let the outer elements wrap their contents.
.container {
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
}
img {
display: block;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/mpalpha/71Lhcb5q/
.container {
display: flex;
background: blue;
padding: 10px;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
}
img {
object-fit: contain;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/400/500" />
</div>
Why does height: 100% have no effect on #baz in the following code? How could you fix this when min-height on (some of) the ancestor element(s) is required?
HTML:
<div id="foo">
<div id="bar">
<div id="baz">
foo bar baz
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div { border: 3px solid red; padding: 5px; }
#foo { height: 300px; }
#bar { min-height: 100%; }
#baz { height: 100%; }
See example at http://jsfiddle.net/pmmyP/
Tested with Chrome 12 and Firefox 4.
Using the following kind of works:
#bar { min-height: 100%; position: relative; }
#baz { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; }
But is there another (or better) way?
Example at http://jsfiddle.net/pmmyP/1/
Don't use min-height when you want height
min-height means it can't go smaller. height: 100% means 100% of the parent element's height (which isn't specified and so it defaults to auto I think).
#bar, #baz { height: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; }
The box-sizing is so that they stay inside each other.
