I wanted to using a flexible horizontal list menu, and I found one on github that came with a collapsing menu at a certain breakpoint. I didn't need the collapsing menu so I got rid of it. I've been modifying the menu to cater to my layout. There are a couple issues that I can't seem to figure out.
There seems to be a left margin to the menu that I want to get rid of.
On the right side of the menu, while shrinking the browser, the last menu item seems to get overlapped instead of pushed in.
I would like to reduce the margins between list items
Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me, but I've not really worked much in percentages.
.flexnav {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
max-height: 0;
}
FIDDLE
Add padding: 0; to .flexnav style definition.
To remove padding just use css:
padding:0;
You mention "unwanted", so a tip from what I usually do is, at the top of the style sheet I write this out:
*{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
This will remove padding and margin from all things that have padding or margin by default, so you will no longer have "unwanted" padding or margin, instead you can separately add padding and margin to things you actually want.
I use this approach on all websites I make.

I have devolopped a responsive website with Twitter Bootstrap 3. However i have noticed that there is a scroll bar at the bottom of my screen due to a right space on the page. Even though i used
body {
margin:0px;
margin-top:0px;
padding:0; margin:0;
margin-right: 0;
}
I still have a right space and a scroll bar under my page as shown in the picture below
Please How to remove the right space from a bootstrap built website ?
i looked in to it what i think is, its the navigation bar which is causing it.
try reducing the px for nav bar. look at the picture , reduce the px from 1903 to 1980 may be !! let me know what happens
First of all, elements with classes articles_text2 and articles_text4 aren't placed properly, they create some extra space on the right. For example, you can set them left: 50%;. However, I'd suggest that you re-define positions for all articles_text elements because values like 57% and other look like some magic numbers taken from nowhere.
Secondly, you should remove padding: 0; from #full-width because it breaks Bootstrap Grid System. What I can suggest in order to remove left and right padding is to do the following trick:
[class*="col-"] {
padding-left: 0 !important;
padding-right: 0 !important;
}
It should help.
I have been trying for an hour to get a list in a sidebar of WordPress to have a negative margin. Fooled around with margins, padding, sidebar placement in the php files... But the link images just keep disappearing behind the background.
Here's the page where I'm working: http://kirahenschel.com/
This is what I am trying to achieve:
http://emgraphics.net/kira/idea2-11.jpg
Ideally I'd also like that sidebar to be a finite height so the white boxes on the bottom spread, but I can cope with them being off to the right.
Anyone have any ideas? Neg margins are working fine on the logo, so it is just a list thing?
Thanks
If you're merely trying to get the list to be bumped to the left, why not use a CSS positioning property? Negative margins can get really wonky, and are (most likely) unneeded in this application.
#nameoflistdiv {
left: -20px;
}
You may also need to change the value of your div's position element, but this will bump your div and everything in it left, overlapping the container div.
If that doesn't answer your question, can you post the HTML and CSS you are using? The CSS code
margin-left: -20px;
really should work in this application as well, so show us what you've got.
Your negative margin is working as expected. The reason the images are getting cut off is because you have set overflow:hidden on the #main container. If you remove that property your images will appear.
#main {
background: url("images/blend.png") repeat-x scroll center top #2765CA;
clear: both;
height: 630px;
overflow: hidden; /* delete this line */
padding: 0;
}
Just a quick question regarding CSS positioning. I have several "segments" on my site which are 100% wide (fills the screen), and I want them floated next to each other. So only the first one will be visible, the other ones will be off-screen. I've tried playing around with positions and the overflow property without luck. Right now they just pop down below each other instead of floating.
This would work perfectly if the elements did not exceed the screen width, but as they do, they just pop down as I said earlier. I've tried setting a huge width to the "wrapper", something like 99999px. And then setting the segments to 100%, but that will just fill the whole 99999px width instead of the screen.
Any ideas?
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/
Do you mean like this?
Example Fiddle: here
I used my favourite alternative to floats, inline-blocks
if you actually take it out of the fiddle it has some pretty (gaudy?) colours which show that it allows for the min-width: 900px; on the centered_content div to work too, and I removed the absolute positioning for the menu so the content would go below it, for demo only but you may find it useful..
let me know if any good or if you have any questions
Updated with some jQuery and to make corrections for default word-spacing
New Example: here
re: the IE6/7 hack rightly mentioned in the comments;
.segment {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
width: 0;
}
.segment {display: inline !ie7;}
needn't be a "parse hack" if that's your preference as long as that second rule is given to [lte IE 7] somehow, and separately at that it cannot be combined into the original rule with the * hack or anything, it won't work.. has to be in a separate ruleset.
I discovered word-spacing might be a problem if relying on width to hide, the natural behaviour of inline blocks is to put 3-4px between the elements like the space in between words, the workaround to this is to correct the word-spacing on the wrapper
.segment-wrapper {
white-space: nowrap;
word-spacing: -4px;
}
then restore it normal for the actual content divs, same place as you would restore the normal wrapping behaviour
.centered_content {
width: 900px;
margin: 0px auto;
background: #fcf;
white-space: normal;
word-spacing: 0;
}
and last, apart from this was fun.. there's 2 effects in that new fiddle - uncomment and comment the other.. forgive me I was playing! :)
The meaning of float is to try to float to the right or left unless there is not room for it.
This means that you cannot ever float an element off the page.
If you need to keep the element off the page, you will need to use a different positioning mechanism like position: absolute.
It sounds like you're creating a horizontal one-page portfolio. I've recently been working on something similar.
Using your fiddle I've set the .segment class to
.segment {width:90%;height:90%;position:absolute;}
and then offset each left positioning further off the screen
#home {background-color:red;left:5%;}
#work {background-color:yellow;left:105%;}
#portfolio {background-color:green;left:205%;}
#contact {background-color:blue;left:305%;}
http://jsfiddle.net/9xGPb/2/
I also added some jQuery logic to switch views for the divs.
I'm still not entirely sure which segments you want to start off the page but this jsfiddle uses positioning to shove the #two div off to the right: http://jsfiddle.net/EdAZP/1/
Which part of your example did you want to start off the page?
Did you try to just hide the other elements and toggle them with some javascript (jQuery is much easier)?

Hey, I appear to have a CSS problem, regarding the spacing of my <div>s on my site.
If you point your browser to www.marioplanet.com you will see an odd space after my Apple-themed navigation bar.
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify why this spacing was added, and how I can eliminate it, as it's undesired.
Also, I believe it has something directly related to the nav bar, because without the nav bar, this is no spacing problem.
Thanks!
It is because of <a></a> present in <li id="gn-support"><a></a></li>
That #globalheader DIV that contains the menu bar has 18px of vertical margin (top and bottom). So naturally what follows is displaced by 18px.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:18px auto;
position:relative;
width:771px;
z-index:1;
}
You might want to remove the gn-ipad, gn-itunes and gn-support <li> elements from your html.
Get rid of the 18px portion of the margin in the globalheader item, then change the width of the globalnav item to 1000px:
globalnav {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:1000px;
}
Ok the problem has to do with you fixed width on:
#globalheader{
width: 769px; //this is too small and actually not needed.
}
The contained list (#globalnav) has a rendered width of 830px (it has some white space at the end didn't investigate to see where it came from. So if you remove the fixed width from globalheader and add a margin-left of 200px to #globalnav you will center it and get rid of the space.
Additionally if you can see why your list have a bunch of white space to the right of it expanding its size to 830px you can just do a margin-left and margin-right of auto and center the list inside the global header div.
Figured out where the extra space at the end of the ul is comming from list items gn-itunes and gn-support are both rendering with 103px in width. this is comming from the (#globalheader #globalnav LI A css rule) You can override the width in (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-support A) as well as the (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-itunes A) css rules and that should fix it as well without resorting to fix above.
If you change the width of globalheader will work.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
width:515px;
z-index:1;
}
If you want to add more navigation links later you will have to increase the width of globalheader.
I'm working on a site that has a wrapper element, with a left and right sidebar, each floated within the wrapper. The left sidebar (which contains navigation) is clearing the right sidebar and pushing it to the bottom for some reason. I've tried fixing it in about 50 different ways. I originally thought changing the size and or margin would help. It didn't. I tried the 'display:inline' fix to no avail. I've tried a ton of other tweaks but I can not get it to work. You can view the site at www.ibgs2010.org and the css is www.ibgs2010.org/css/style.css (I'm trying to use a IE7 specific stylesheet to fix it). If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. I've burnt about 3 hours today just trying to fix this one little issue.
Looks like the problem is with the ajaxloader div - set its width to 697px (same as sidebar right) and that should fix your problem.
Try to remove the margins and paddings on your sidebar classes and have a inside wrapper with the margin and padding set to it. More failsafe this way so that margins don't increase the size of your div element. Browsers have a different way of rendering margins and paddings to elements.
Hope that helped you out.
Cheers
I think it's just that the floating content is being considered too wide to fit -- so, it's floating it down to where it will.
Instead of float, you might try position with left and right, respectively:
.content.wrapper {
position: relative; /* establish boundary for absolute positioning */
}
.sidebar.left {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
.sidebar.right {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
I propose you add the following:
#ajaxloader {
width: 737px;
float: left;
}
The width of 737px is derived from the 697px width plus the 40px left padding of of .sidebar.right
With this addition the IE7 and Firefox versions should look the same, give or take a pixel.
I include the yahoo reset css as the begining of every page (or css file). It really helps to level the playing field. Also with IE, always remember to specify width (even if it's 100%) and if your floating, make sure to display:inline.
