This is the website I am modifying: sb460training.org
Here is the code snippet:
#apdiv1 {
position: absolute;
width: 2815px;
height: 276px;
z-index: 1;
top: 1px;
left: 0px;
background-color: #000;
}
#apdiv2 {
position: absolute;
width: 3150px;
height: 115px;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: 230px;
}
#apdiv3 {
position: absolute;
width: 221px;
height: 411px;
z-index: 3;
left: 0px;
top: 259px;
background-color: #FFF;
}
#apdiv4{
position: absolute;
width: 2853px;
height: 115px;
z-index: 4;
left: 219px;
top: 401px;
}
Do you know what the width dimensions should be so I can get rid of the annoyingly extra space that shows up to the right of the web page?
Thanks
Like the other answers, I agree that your CSS should change the fixed widths to 100%.
However, in your HTML you have img elements with explicit widths, to substitute background colours. For example, in the "apDiv2" DIV element, you have an in-line image containing white, "SB460_Pic/Secondary title2.jpg". This image is set to 2128px wide, causing the page to extend horizontally.
I would recommend removing the images that are being used to pad the right of each DIV, and instead set background colours in CSS.
UPDATE
Quick and dirty example:
http://pastebin.com/4PmZN1r4
change all your container widths to 100%.
give your html a width:100%; margin:0;
give your body a fixed width:1200px or so.
set your body with a margin: 0 auto if you want it centered.
I've heard the same similar issue.
all you need to do is try working with margin set to 0 and auto.
in most cases, try eliminating the use of 'position absolute' and work more with margin, padding and position relative.

I want to center the slider controls which you can find here
I tried various ways like right:0; left:0; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto and two more.
But somehow I am not able to make it center in responsive manner so that in any view port, It always remain center.
So Is there a way to achieve it?
This will centre the Your controls without needing to use width but will only really work for modern browsers:
.anythingSlider-minimalist-round .anythingControls {
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
opacity: 0.90;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
left: 50%;
bottom: 2%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
This method will work for older browsers but you will need a fixed width:
.anythingSlider-minimalist-round .anythingControls {
position: relative;
z-index: 100;
opacity: 0.90;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
bottom: 5%;
width: 190px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
There are a few other methods to centring a div on a page it might be worth while looking at some other methods here: How to horizontally center a <div> in another <div>?
It looks like they are just being hidden when dropped into mobile. You can reshow them by putting this in your media query for small (mobile) screens.
.anythingSlider-minimalist-round .anythingControls{
display: block !important;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
width: 186px;
position: relative;
top: -40px;
right: 0;
float: none;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
Put the slider controls in a div that has width:100% and its contents set to text-align:center. Position the div absolute, at bottom:20px (adjust this to set the desired offset from the bottom). Finally, the container that contains the slider controls div needs to be set to position:relative.
div.slider-controls {
width:100%;
text-align:center;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
bottom: 20px; <----- adjust this until you
} like the offset from the
bottom of the slider
div.slider-container {
position: absolute;
}
I don;t know what your layout looks like, but in the above example, it is assumed that div.slider-controls is a child element of div.slider-container.

I seem to have an issue with the combined CSS properties:
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
First you can see that the .footer div doesn't isn't at the bottom. Now, change the font-size from 120px to 50px and the div seems to be working the way I inteded it to.
How do I make the .footer div stay at the bottom (not fixed at the bottom of the screen) regardless of the size of the .content div.
You need to add position: relative; to the parent container, which in this case is .wrapper.
Here's a good reference page on absolute positioning.
There is one way to do that:
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
html {
padding-bottom: 50px;
min-height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
position: relative;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
}

There is still one limitation. You have to know height of footer and set it in two places.
I am trying to get into responsive design/layout with Bootstrap and CSS, but I am kind of confused of how could a change a box to be in the center of the screen.
I have a login pane that in Google Chrome has size 277x256 (that size could fit many smartphone screens). So I made a CSS like that:
.login .pane {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -128px -138.5px; /* half of the size in Google Chrome */
background: #f0f0fd;
background: rgba(240,240,253,0.90);
padding: 22px 32px;
}
You can see the complete code in: http://jsfiddle.net/H5Qrh/1/
=== UPDATE ===
I made a cleaner code and tried using Absolute Centering instead of Negative Margins:
.center-pane {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
max-width: 277px;
height: 320px;
}
My updated Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/H5Qrh/3/
Now the footer is above the box.. that shouldn't occour.
You're using absolute but I'd change that to fixed (this will work on both).
I set your height and widths, but you can change them, and because you want it responsive, you can change them with a few media queries. For example mobile you might want width to be 90% or 100%.
.login .pane {
position: fixed; /* could be absolute */
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
margin: auto;
width: 300px;
height: 250px;
}
Here's a jsfiddle
I'm trying to create a layout where there is a fixed width and fixed position sidebar on the left.
The problem is setting the width of the main content area - it stretches off the screen to the right. Here's what I've got:
<body>
<div class="left-sidebar">
sidebar
</div>
<div class="main-content">
main
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body {
position: relative;
}
.left-sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 220px;
}
.main-content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 220px;
background: #f0f0f0;
width: 100%;
}
How can I have the main content div start at 220px from the left, but only fill the window width?
Try setting the main content to appear fully left but give it a margin-left to make room for the sidebar.
.main-content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0px;
margin-left: 220px;
background: #f0f0f0;
width: 100%;
}
Edit:
I've had a bit of time now to try out the code. I suggested margin-left instead of padding-left because it fits better with what you want to do. Using margin gives you the option of putting a border around your content. Also, if you actually do want padding in the content you can set it as normal. if you used a padding to indent for the sidebar you'd have to add the 220px to whatever actual padding you wanted.
This is what I came up with to get it working with margins instead of padding.
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
.left-sidebar {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 220px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.main-content
{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
margin-left: 220px;
background: #f0f0f0;
border: 1px solid red;
}
I also agree with the anser referencing dynamic drive. One of the best ways to learn CSS initially is to have a go with a working stylesheet and customise it for your needs. The big advantage is it will already be cross browser compatible. Just use Google to find a bit of inspiration.
I want my div to show on top of everything I put 100% width and height and it show above a lot of control except some have css z-index and other things. I tried to set the div z-index to a big number but this did not work.
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 5px;
left: 0px;
background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
padding: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
visibility: visible;
display: block;
z-index: 500 !important;
position: relative;
}
Since you want to cover the whole screen, I recommend this:
#overlayDiv {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index:99;
}
Note, you don't have to set the display and visibility properties. Also, don't set padding or margin on this element! If you want it to have a padding, set a margin on its child/children.
Also, make sure that the DIV in question is a direct child of the BODY element.
In order to pull an html element out of the natural flow of how the elements are layed out on the screen you need to use position: absolute. This will allow the element to become a layer above the other elements (assuming that the z-index value is greater than all other's).
Right now your element seems to have position: relative.
Probably the issue is related to position:relative. Set it to absolute instead, and if you need to offset the element, use margin instead of top/left.
.centered {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
/* bring your own prefixes */
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
