but now problem i am facing content area position not fit properly. when i make other two div position: fixed then issue coming. please see my code and jsfiddle..
.midarea this div position not properly fit there. if you see jsfiddle then can under properly..
JSFiddle
You need .midarea to be fixed to match the others:
.midarea {
position: fixed;
left:260px;
right: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
...
}
With this your float and width are obsolete (but you can have them if you really want).
Also please, please lose every z-index and every float with a position: fixed or position: absolute.
Visualize
position:fixed is absolutely OK.
Just calculate the sum of width of both fixed nav-colums and set a padding-left with this calculated width to the div.midarea. So all divs inside the midarea begin right of the fixed colums.
And a z-index higher of the content is needed. e.g. z-index:999;

Given below the fixed div CSS:
.top-container {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
When I zoom out my screen, this div breaks the main container at the right side but left side is okay. Check below screenshot for better understanding.
You have to understand how position: fixed; is working. It ignores any surrounding element.
You can find detailed information here.
Here's a quote:
A fixed position element is positioned relative to the viewport, or the browser window itself.
UPDATE
What you can try is to use a margin-left same as the left element's width and margin-right same as the right element's width to the .top-container element. This is obviously not an ideal solution but solves your problem.
I am late to answer this for this question but I am sure this is a common problem to exist in future and will help the future searchers.
This can be solved by applying a trick. We can use calc here.
.your-class {
position: fixed;
right: calc((100vw - 90%)/2);
}
This worked for me. Please note that in my case I intended the floating element to be shifted on the right side. If you want it on the left please use left instead of right.
I have a container div who's content is quite large.
The container is set to position: relative.
The content has another div which I would like for it to be fixed with respect to the container horizontally--it should still scroll vertically.
When I set the div in question to:
position: absolute;
left: mypreferredleftpx;
I got weird results.
http://jsfiddle.net/Ey7vU/3/:
PRETTY PICTURE should scroll vertically, but not horizontally. It should remain fixed horiztontally with respect to the container.
Remove
position:relative
from .container
Updated fiddle here.
I noticed a behavior that drives me crazy.
I have two divs, that have both similar css:
.one, .two {
position: fixed;
bottom: 6%
}
One div is for navigation, and other is for content, that has max 300px height. The problem is, that if the user resizes the browser window to really small one, the scrollbar is not shown.
I tried to change position to absolute, but then the ajaxify plugin breaks the position if new page is loaded. I couldn't find other ideas, how to position those divs at fixed position at bottom.
p.s. I pasted a sample test on http://pastebin.com/Bp1490dj
the background-green div is at the bottom with position:absolute;
from what I know a position:fixed; and or position:absolute; will never make a scroll. (please correct me if I'm wrong) so a way to go arround this is to set a min-height to body
body {
min-height:200px;
}
have a look at the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u2ZWa/
also, there is a fix with a scroll now. But you have to know the fixed elements will never be scrollable because they're fixed
Scrollbars are not compatible with a fixed positioning.
I have a site with absolute positioned elements on it, for example the top Navigation of the site:
#topNav
{
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 50%;
height: 40px;
width: 1000px;
margin-left: -500px;
}
Now I created a sticky footer like on the following site:
http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
Now, the problem is that the footer will "overlap" the topNav,
because the topNav is positioned absolute, which means it's "outside of the normal float of elements". The relative position will not "notice" that there is the topNav before.
Before I start creating additional "pusher divs" for each absolute positioned element I would better ask if there are better practices than "pusher divs" or should I even not use position absolute on my elements?
EDIT:
JsFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/dkxUX/15/
When you scale down your browserwindow you'll find #footer overlapping all elements before it.
You could just apply a 140px top margin/padding to the body or other container element which would make the topNav's height and offset accounted for.
Better yet, don't set position to absolute in this case - it appears to me that all you're doing is horizontally centering a 1000px wide div.
/*top-margin of 100px + center the element*/
#topNav {width:1000px; height:40px; margin:100px auto 0;}
Update: I see your jsfiddle now. You could account for all absolutely positioned elements when setting the margin/padding as suggested in the first paragraph You are using absolutely positioned elements when normal document flow could be relied on.
a little bit too late to give an answer but it may help someone in the future, I came up with that problem not too long ago so here was my shot at it, using jquery since I couldn't came up with a CSS solution that wasn't removing the DOCTYPE tag (which isn't something you should do, anyways).
So here it is.
$("#CONTAINERDIV").prepend("<div id='relativefix' style='position:relative;margin-top:"+($("#YOUR_ABSOLUTE_DIV").offset().top+$("#YOUR_ABSOLUTE_DIV").outerHeight()+30)+"px'></div>");
$(window).resize(function(){
$("#relativefix").css("margin-top",($("#YOUR_ABSOLUTE_DIV").offset().top+$("#YOUR_ABSOLUTE_DIV").outerHeight()+30)+"px");
});
So yeah, that's all there is to it, you just dynamically add another div at the start of the container hard-placed under the absolute div, that will force all subsequent relative divs to me placed after it, it is like a clear fix for someone who ran out of ideas.
i have a problem with the entire content of my page.
The problem being without a scrollbar present my content is about 20px to the right, but when a scrollbar is present it shifts to the left.
I have to compensate for this for an absolute postioned div by positioning it over the content by 20px until a scrollbar is present as it rests at the right hand side of the page.
This is a crappy fault on my behalf but i just want an easy way to fix this. Any quick and easy suggestions? Would i be better off making the main content div an absolute one?
One quick and dirty way is to always force the scrollbar to be visible with:
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
Not ideal, but it standardizes the appearance if the lack of scrollbar offset is breaking your design.
If I'm understanding your problem correctly, your absolute div is 20px off when a scrollbar is present? If that is the case what you can do is set a parent div that wraps around your content and absolute div.
Be sure to set this wrapper div to position: relative; so now your absolute div will be positioned inside the relative div instead of the document level. If there is a scrollbar, the wrapper div will be offset to the left by 20px (the width of the scrollbar) and the absolute div will also.
<div class="wrapper">
your content goes here
<div class="absoluteDiv"></div>
</div>
.wrapper { position: relative; }
.absoluteDiv { position: absolute; }
I don't think your content is actually shifting in any sort of buggy way; it's just that the presence of the scroll bar makes the viewport narrower. If you're using a layout that depends on viewport width (e.g. fluid layout, or fixed-width with centered content), this will cause everything to move by half the width of the scroll bar when it appears.
AFAIK, there's no sure-fire way to compensate for that, since the width of the scroll bar isn't known.
