Sliding a div under another div, when they have partial opacity - css

I have the following problem: I have a horizontal menu with a sub-menu beneath it. I want the sub-menu to slide up under the main menu. Normally this would be no problem at all, just have the sub-menu on a lower z-index and move it up. BUT in this case both the menu and sub-menu have partial opacity. As things stand now when I move the sub-menu up you can still see it showing through the main nav.
What I need to do is as the sub-menu moves up make the part of it that's under the main menu invisible.
There's an animated gif showing the correct behavior and appearance at http://i.stack.imgur.com/1n4jJ.gif
Any ideas? Thanks!
[ADDITION]
Here's my demo code. The CSS:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: url('http://i.stack.imgur.com/jGlzr.png') no-repeat 0 0 scroll;
}
#topmenu {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
}
#submenu {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
top: 50px;
padding-top: 10px;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
border-top: 1px solid #666666;
}
#main {
position: relative;
top: 60px;
}
And the HTML:
<body>
<div id="topmenu">Menu 1 | Menu 2 | Menu 3 | Menu 4</div>
<div id="submenu">Sub menu 1 | Sub menu 2 | Sub menu 3 | Sub menu 4</div>
<div id="main">
<h1>Here is the main content!</h1>
<p><strong>Notice how when you scroll this page the sub menu is still visible under the main menu? I need it to be clipped as it moves under the main menu. *AND* I want to do this without JavaScript. It's OK to see the main text under the main nav.</strong></p>

I've now tossed demo code up on JSFiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/chrisspurgeon/6ddWz/ . It has the correct behavior EXCEPT that the part of the sub-nav that's under the main nav should be invisible, and the translucency of the main nav should not be effected.

you must set the z-index value for both divs and,you must give the lower div a greater z-index value,also you must set the overflow of the bottom div to visible.
example:
.upperdiv {z-index:5;}
.bottomdiv {z-index:100;overflow:visible;}

This example isn't exact, but it should put you in the right direction: Updated Fiddle
HTML
<div id="header">Hover this.
<div id="drop">Drop content here</div>
</div>
CSS
#drop {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
color: white;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transition: all .8s ease;
-moz-transition: all .8s ease;
-ms-transition: all .8s ease;
-o-transition: all .8s ease;
transition: all .8s ease;
position: absolute;
}
To hide on scroll
$(function(){
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(this).scrollTop() > 0) {
$("#drop").css('height', '0');
}
else {
$("#drop").css('height', '20px');
}
});
});

There are two things at work here.
1. Z-indexing
The topmenu needs to be rendered above the submenu in the stack. Right now because of simple HTML ordering, your submenu is being rendered above the topmenu.
We fix this with z-indexing:
#topmenu
{
z-index: 999;
}
#submenu
{
z-index: 998;
}
2. Opacity
In the example you provided (this GIF), the topmenu has a fully opaque background. In order to completely hide the submenu when it passes behind the topmenu, we need1 to have a fully opaque background:
#topmenu
{
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}

Footnotes:
1: This is only if you want a JS-free solution. If you will allow JS, there are solutions that will allow you to use partially transparent backgrounds.

Flex layout with two columns. Second column has height of first one with dynamic height and scrollable content [duplicate]

I have two sibling elements which each contain dynamic content.
<div class="flex">
<div class="sibling-1"></div>
<div class="sibling-2"></div>
</div>
In some cases sibling-1 will have more content then sibling-2 and vice versa.
I would like the height of the second element sibling-2 always equal the height of the first sibling-1. If the height of sibling-2 is greater then the height of sibling-1 it will overflow the flex div and thus be scrollable.
Is there any way to accomplish this with Flexbox?
Yes, it is possible. Leave the sibling setting the max height alone and set the others' flex-basis: 0 and flex-grow: 1, which according to the spec will expand them to their sibling's height. No absolute positioning. No setting height on any elements.
main {
display: flex;
}
section {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 7em;
border: thin solid black;
margin: 1em;
}
:not(.limiter)>div {
flex-basis: 0px;
flex-grow: 1;
overflow-y: auto;
}
<main>
<section>
<div>I'm longer and will scroll my overflow. in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text
in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in</div>
</section>
<section class="limiter">
<div>Every parent's siblings match my height. in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text</div>
</section>

<div>I'm shorter but still match the height. in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text in flow text</div>
</section>
</main>
Is there any way to accomplish this with Flexbox?
Basically, no. The flex equal heights feature is based on the height of the container, not any particular sibling.
So sibling-1 and sibling-2 can always be equal height.
But flexbox has no built-in mechanism to limit the height of items to the height of one sibling.
Consider JavaScript or CSS positioning properties.
Here's an example using absolute positioning:
.flex {
display: flex;
width: 200px;
position: relative;
}
.flex>div {
flex: 0 0 50%;
border: 1px solid black;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.sibling-2 {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
<div class="flex">
<div class="sibling-1">text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br></div>
<div class="sibling-2">text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br>text<br></div>
</div>
jsFiddle
Yes you can accomplish this by making siblings 1 and 2 also flex containers, then on sibling-2 make an absolute div (also flex container) inside that will be the parent of your scroller
<div class="sibling-1 flex sibling"></div>
<div class="sibling-2 flex sibling">
<div class="absolute flex scroller-wrap">
<div class="relative vertical-scroller">
your content here
</div>
</div>
</div>
css:
.relative{
position:relative;
}
.absolute{
position:absolute;
}
.flex{
display:flex;
}
.sibling-2{
flex:1;
}
.scroller-wrap{
height:100%;
}
on sibling 2 just set a minimum height on pixels - useful on responsive cases if siblings 1 and 2 stack each other on mobile
As I mentioned in the comments and has been continued in other answers, there is no flexbox method.
It is possible using position:absolute on the second sibling though...but since that's not actually a flexbox solution, this is here for information only.
.flex {
margin: 1rem auto;
position: relative;
display: flex;

.sibling-1 {
flex: 0 0 50%;

From your code and to avoid extra wrapping , sticky on a side, height:0 on the other then overflow:auto on the parent can also do the job with flex:
example (you will easily understand it)
.flex {
display: flex;
/* demo purpose */
width: 500px;
border: solid;
overflow: auto;/* make the parent scroll */
gap:0.5em;
}
.flex .sibling-1 {
position: sticky;/* stick the reference for the height */
top: 0;
}
.flex .sibling-2 {
height: 0;/* give it no height to start from and let the parent show the scrollbar */
}
<div class="flex">
<div class="sibling-1">

Css transition - unexpected delay

I want to create simple toggle button, that will expand/hide text paragraph. I wan't to use as little javascript as possible.
I tried it this way: Fiddle
The problem occurs when I want to hide expanded content. The content will be hidden after an unwanted delay - When user clicks the button the animation won't start immediately. I have tried it in chrome and firefox. In both I get the same behaviour.
Can someone explain me why is my code behaving this way and how to fix it?
Here is source code that is identical to the one in the fiddle link:
HTML:
<div class="container">
<h1 class="header">Header</h1>
<p class="content">
content
</p>
toggle
</div>
CSS:
.content {
max-height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
transition: max-height 1s ease-in-out;
}
.expanded .content {
max-height: 1000px;
}
Javascript:
var $container = $('.container');
$('.toggle').click(function() {
$container.toggleClass('expanded');
});
Add min-height instead:
.content {
max-height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
transition: min-height 1s ease-in-out;
}
.expanded .content {
min-height:20px;
}
Use min-height rather than max-height.
When you click 'toggle' and the div is expanded, the height of the div is reduced in 2 steps... first to it's "auto" height, then to the max-height in the original class. So what looks like a delay is actually 2 steps of height reduction.
max-height: is not an absolute value, it's ambiguous unless the content itself forces the height to be greater. The script has to calculate what the actual height is upon the transition then determine if it is greater than the max-height setting which is being transitioned to.
You can see this by just adding a defined height to the expanded class:
var $container = $('.container');
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
$container.toggleClass('expanded');
});
.content {
max-height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ddd;
transition: max-height .2s ease-in-out;
}
.expanded .content {
max-height: 300px;
height: 150px;
background: #ddd;
transition: max-height .2s ease-in-out;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<p class="content">
content
</p>
toggle
</div>
If your content is actually greater and it causes the div to be taller than the max-height value, you won't have this problem. It's only an issue when the original height is less than the max-height value in the transition.
var $container = $('.container');
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
$('.container').toggleClass('expanded');
});
.content {
max-height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ddd;
transition: max-height .2s ease-in-out;
}
.expanded .content {
max-height: 1000px;
background: #ddd;
transition: max-height .2s ease-in-out;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

If you adjust and use min-height you get a smooth transition. You also need to add height: 0; to the main class to completely hide the div on collapse.
var $container = $('.container');
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
$container.toggleClass('expanded');
});
.content {
min-height: 0px;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ddd;

So far so good.
The problem is when I add direction:rtl - for right-to-left languages - the -webkit-line-clamp ceases to work - DEMO
Markup
<div class="wpr">
<div class="clamp3">
Text
</div>
</div>
CSS
.wpr
{
overflow: hidden;
direction: rtl /* <-- When adding this property ellipsis doesn't work anymore */
}
.clamp3 {
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3; /* Maximum of 3 lines of text */
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
height: 3.6em;
}
.wpr
{
overflow: hidden;
direction: rtl;
}
.clamp2 {
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 3;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
height: 3.6em; /* I needed this to get it to work */
}
<div class="wpr">
<div class="clamp2">

Is this a webkit bug?
Are there any work-arounds?
AFAIK ellipsis with direction: rtl only works on one line. E.g.:
.ellipsis-rtl {
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: rtl;
}
FWIW, you misspelled direction in your example.

Height of a div to be equal to another

I have a simple page.
HTML and CSS are as follows.
<body>
<div style="background-color:red;">
<div style="background-color:green; width:40%; float:left;">
LEFT
</div>
<div style="background-color:blue; width:60%; float:right;">

The problem is that the contents of blue div come from php and it causes variable height of blue div. What I want, is to have the height of the left green div to be same as the height of blue div.
I've solved this one using jquery but can I achieve this one only with html and css?
Thanks.
Don't float the elements, wrap the elements using a wrapper div, assign display: table; to the wrapper element, and than assign display: table-cell; to nested elements, that's all you need to achieve what you want to..
Demo
.wrap {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.wrap div.one, div.two {
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
}
.wrap .one {
background: #f00;
}
.wrap .two {
background: #0f0;
}
Depending on which browsers you need to support, you could use CSS flexbox.
Simple example:
div{
display: flex;
}

How to add a fixed sidebar

I want to add a fixed sidebar like in the picture below.
How is that possible?
Appreciate any suggestion.
Solution
used to this
fixed position
.sidebar{
position:fixed;
left:0;
width:250px; // width change to according your left bar side
top:0;
bottom:0;
}
Demo
.SomeClass { position: fixed }
This fiddle might solve your problem, with right column being flexible and left column fixed

08 <br><strong>TUE</strong>

CSS:
.container {
width: 100%;
}
.left-col {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #434345;
float: left;
margin-left: -100%;
padding: 10px;
width: 80px;
}
.left-col a {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
color: #000000;
float: left;
font-size: 18px;
height: 50px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 60px;
}
.columns {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
.right-col {
margin-left: 100px;
background:red;
height:400px;
}
for fixed side bar, style
position:fixed;
this will do but not in chrome, so you may use this
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
bottom:0;
width:180px;// you may change as per your requirement
this works in all browsers :)
Edit : updated fiddle with content div

I hope this will do, for more answer post some of your work in details, thank you
