I have a page with a lot of layers for the background (five layers) which should cover the entire page content (100% height and div).
Each layer has these properties:
position:relative;
width: 100%;
height:100%;
min-height: 100%;
These properties are OK if the page content is short: the divs have an height of 100% of the window, so it's ok.
The problem is when the page is longer (look the following example). The layers have a 100% height of the browser window, not the actual content height.
That's because (I suppose) of the height:100% property. Removing it, it's fine for long pages, but not for shorter ones.

How can I fix this?
In the tag where your content is being displayed, you could add the CSS property overflow
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp
You can use it to trim the excess content, or add a scrollbar.
EX.
.class {
overflow:auto;
}
what about scrolling the longer content
#actual_page {
width: 990px;
margin: 0px auto;
height:100%;
overflow:scroll;
background-color: pink;
}

Instead of
height:100%
You can try:
min-height: 50% (or whatever you need it to be).
See the cyan here:

Remove the height:100% from your layers CSS.

I am working on Bootstrap theme where its responsive. I disable the responsiveness on a child theme by adding a code in functions.php. All works well , no problem.
Now the parent container, is now fixed:
HTML:
<div class="container">
CSS:
.container{width: 940px;}
But I would like the footer section to have sitewide background color. How do I able to do this?
I have tried setting different methods like width:auto, width: 200% ,but its not giving me the desired result.
Supposing this is the footer section:
<footer>
My footer
</footer>
My attempted CSS on a child theme(not working)
footer {
background: #CCCCCC;
width:100% !important;
position:absolute !important;
}
Also is this possible without setting too many !important on CSS property? Thanks.
If your footer is inside the div.container which has width:940px; then giving your footer 100% width will make it 940px wide.
You need to have the footer outside the container to give it 100% width of the body.
When you give 100% width, the element gets its container's width. So in your code, even with the important keyword, it'll get the container's width (because that what 100% is supposed to do).
Just take the footer outside of the container.
Then it'll work and you won't need this !important keyword.
As others have mentioned, removing the footer from the parent container of .container will allow the width of it to be the entire size of the viewport/document.
If you are unable to change this level of structure of the HTML due to your template, you can fake the width using pseudo-elements, like so:
footer {
position: relative;
background-color: lightblue; /* Match the color of the body background */
}
footer::before, footer::after {
content:"";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 9999px;
/* some huge width */
background-color: inherit;
}
footer::before {
right: 100%;
}
footer::after {
left: 100%;
}
See jsFiddle.
Taken from CSS Tricks: Full Browser Width Bars
I have an outer div, called #wrap, and two inner divs: #container and #footer. Content is inside #container, and is dynamic. There may be a little, there may be a lot.
When content is minimal, the footer div may appear half-way up the page. However, this changes depending on the monitor/resolution. What is 50% from bottom on a large monitor may only be 10% from bottom on a small/cluttered viewport.
If I use this css method:
body,html { height: 100%; }
#wrap { position:relative; min-height:100%; }
#container{ margin:0px 0px 50px 0px; }
#footer { position:absolute; bottom:0px; }
then the page will always extend to use 100% of the viewport and the footer will be at bottom of the viewport - exactly as required.
However, if the content increases (or if a small viewport), the footer may overwrite any content extending into its 130px height -- the footer will not bump down.
Is there a way to remedy this?
Note: I don't wish to use percentages for the footer height as it is fixed at 130px and cannot squish.
Here is a fiddle I've been using to experiment
This is the best example of sticky footer I've seen: http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
UPDATE (April 2017): As the above link has become inoperable (and much time has passed since the original post) I'd like to offer the following solution to this problem:
Permanently fixed:
#container {
padding-bottom: 130px; // ...or more
}
#footer {
bottom: 0;
height: 130px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
For a dynamically fixed element, check out this jQuery plugin: https://libraries.io/bower/jquery-sticky-header-footer
I have a DIV of size 147x88 and inside it an image which has the same width, but might be larger in height. In this case, the image goes beyond the boundary of the DIV. Is there anyway to clip the image, keeping in mind that I want my page to work in old browsers which doesn't support CSS3 (IE7 and IE8)?
Just hide the overflow of the div, and the containing image will be cropped to the dimensions of the div.
div{width: 147px; height: 88px; overflow: hidden;}
Set overflow:hidden; on the div:
#yourDiv {
width:147px;
height:88px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/purmou/sN5PL/
div { width: 147px; height: 88px; overflow: hidden; }
This question shows how to get the size of the image using JQuery.
You can have a little block that checks the size of the image when loading the page, and the set the size of the DIV accordingly.
Live example of background issue: http://webid3.feckcorp.com/
As you can see the gray stripped background image flows over the bottom of the footer and leaves about 115 extra pixels below the footer. The div that contains the background image is <div id="home_page_back"> and is contained within the body element, both of which are set at a height of 100%.
I want the background image to hit the footer and then stop … not go any further past it. Can someone please advise?
Also - I do not want to place the image as a background of the body.
Cheers!
Copy of the CSS:
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height:100%;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
color: #333333;
}
#home_page_back {
background:#9C9D9B url(http://templatemints.com/rttheme13/images/background_images/abstract_background7.jpg) top center no-repeat !important;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
position: absolute;
}
I think it's the way you structured your markup, actually. Place the content below
<div id="home_page_back" style="display: block;"></div>
inside of it, remove the 100% height rule and replace it with overflow:hidden. The content will expand that div out to see the background image. As it stands now, you've made it a separate, absolutely positioned div and given it 100% height, which makes it at big as the background image you have inside it, and it expands beyond any of the content coming after it because that content now ignores it in the layout (because it's positioned absolutely.) At least that's the theory I'm going with :)
If you want the height 100% to work like that, give the body element 100% height, and the html element also 100% height.
Add overflow: hidden; to your body css.
And please, try validating your html before doing anything else and before looking for help.
#feck; may you have want an sticky footer check this answer .
Use:
#home_page_back {
background:#9C9D9B url(http://templatemints.com/rttheme13/images/background_images/abstract_background7.jpg) top center no-repeat !important;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
Wrap "home_page_back" div around "content" div in the html instead.
Remove margin-top from #footer css.
Then, if you want it, you can add the space after the footer.
I tried using
height: 100%
but this makes the div only as high as its contents - it just contains a single word of text.
How can I force the div to use the screen height instead?
You need the body and html elements to have 100% height as well.
Try the following CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
YourDivSelector {
height: 100%;
}
The margin and padding must be set to 0 to prevent autoscroll in Firefox.
You should set all the containers that contain the div to height:100% as well, including the body and html tags.
You also need to set html and body to height:100%;
html,body{height:100%}
I had the same issue. Setting the html and body height to 100% didn't work, but when I combined min-height of 100vh and a height of 100% on the div it worked.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
div {
min-height: 100vh;
height: 100%;
}
You can get the width and height of the window using JavaScript and then use those values to set the height and width of the div, as needed.
maybe
min-height:100%;
what are you trying to do exactly? post some more info and we can help you more
You can only meaningfully use height=100% if its containing element's height is definided. Its 100%, of what? no height if defined anywhere. You can use javascript to get the height of the current window (as previously mentioned), or specify a specific height of 800px or whatever value. :D
