I have this layout:
Code here: http://m6000225.ferozo.com/test/
I need the blue and brown image to lay below the main content div, and both be aligned regardless of the window width, both centered horizontally.
I implemented a css tip I read on this site, which is having a div with absolute position and left: 50% and an img inside with relative position and left: -50%.
It works fine, except for the fact that it pushes the page width to the right, as you can see in the screenshot, the scrollbar can be seen.
3rd party lib solutions like jQuery are welcome, but I'd prefer plain CSS.
PS: I also need something similar below the footer, but I guess using the same solution with a negative bottom value should work, right?
PS2: Extending the blue-brown strip to both borders of the window is no problem as I already used another div with absolute position and background-repeat: repeat-x.
The scroll bar is appearing because of the left: 50%; on the class .header-image. You should drop that altogether. Since that tag has a width set, when you push it over 50% it falls outside the window forcing the scroll bar to appear.
After you drop the left call, you should then set the width of that div to the width of the window, not a specific value in pixels. Use Width: 100%. So, that tag should look like:
.header-image {
height: 245px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
After that, you'll need to re-center the image contained within the div. To do that, instead of using positions (which rely on set boundaries), give the element auto margins. Use :
.header-image img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
That will recenter the image. Please let me know if this is what you were looking for!
Per Paulie_D's suggestion:
.header-image {
position:absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
height: 245px;
background-image: url('header.png');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
That did it.

On the bottom of the image below, the background-color doesn't reach all the way. I've tried setting it to 100vh and 100% but the outcomes are the same where it only covers up to a 100 view height, and anything scrolled pass down the 100vh. isnt covered by my background color. How can i fix this?
&__container {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-color: rgba($color: #13182c, $alpha: 0.7);
height: 100vh;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
You should post your full code.
But your posted image looks like that page is scrolled down a bit (the nav items behind the overlay are cut off). You are using position: absolute, which moves along with the next higher relatively positioned element, or - if there is none - with the body. This would explain the problem. Body is scrolled , overlay moves along, but is only as high as the window, but since the body is higher, there's some space below the overlay...
To fix that, try to use position: fixed instead of position: absolute. In that case the overlay position will relate to the viewport itself (i.e. the window).
You can try position: relative, once you want full cover. Also you can can set background-size = cover. Just tweak width.
Design question here. How can I make the #main-wrapper slide over the #single-carousel on the following page: http://duijnisveld.wpengine.com/
Right now it moves up when scrolling, I need the carousel to stay put and make the main wrapper slide over it when scrolling down.
giving .header-foto-wrapper position: fixed and #main-wrapper position: relative gives unexpected behaviour for me, I'm clearly missing something important.
*note, in the url, the .header-foto-wrapper does not have the position fixed as it breaks the layout and it's a live site for the client to see.
Thanks!
You'll need to apply width. Things go a little wonky when a container calculates width once you pull it out of the content flow. A width:100% will fill the page width. You'll also want to move the content area down and apply a background color.
.header-foto-wrapper {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#main-wrapper {
position: relative;
top: 100%;
background: #fff;
}
By setting the position as absolute.
.wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 150px;
}

I'm currently having issues with some CSS/HTML code.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bgHGn
I've got the background of the page in a div (feature-bg) this is to fill the entire page. The content then scrolls up from the bottom but that's irrelevant.
I'm having issues trying to get the largeheader to be displayed in the middle of the page (regardless of resolution/window size) and stick to the background so that when the user scrolls, the content covers it?
I'm not sure if that makes any sense or is even possible.
Thanks!
you want to set the text-alignment property to center
.largeheader{
position: fixed;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 100px;
z-index:2;
text-align: center;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
}
The core issue being this isn't exactly in the center of the page,so as #RCorrie put in his answer, you can make a set width and height to the div and then fix the margin with some simple math. Now if you wanted to jump into using javascript and jQuery thats a whole other ball game and you can definitely do this with minimal work and you wouldn't have to keep changing the div size and margin for each web page that is created.
See the CSS code for the solution:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GqeBa
.largeheader {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
height: 100px;
width: 250px;
margin: -50px 0 0 -112px;
font-size: 100px;
z-index: 2;
}
Fixed positioning allows the element to stay put while you scroll the page.
To get the large header horizontally centered you can use text-align: center; as #metsales suggested.
In order to vertically center the large header there are a few different options you can use. For this case, since you want the large header to stick in the center of the page, I would suggest using the "Absolute Positioning and Negative Margin" method in the linked article.
You'll end up with something like this:
.largeheader {
line-height: 40px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -20px;
left: 0px;
}
To put the header behind other content when the user scrolls you'll want to play with its z-index property. I can't suggest anything because I don't know the rest of your markup, but you'll probably want a negative value, and the MDN has a decent article on it.
I have a CSS background image that will stay centered no matter what the browser size is. The image used does not stretch the entire width of the browser. This being the case, I need the divs I have also placed in the CSS with background images and links to maintain their position relative to the background image that stays centered no matter what the browser size is.
I have dabbled around with.
position:relative;
but it cascades all the elements and doesn't allow specific positioning that I am looking for. Here is the code I am working with. I appreciate any insight to my newb question, and look forward to learning how this behaves better.
When this code is viewed on different sized browsers, with a background image that does not span the entire width, the elements move around because they are set to percentage. I need them to stay where they are but remain centered with the background. I am not sure how to write this in CSS and have been struggling with it for some time. Thankyou for any guidance on this specific issue.
body {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
}
#logo {
margin: 0px 11%;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
}
try grouping elements you want to put next to it together inside a div ~say container~ and set the background to the div.
Then set the div ~container~ position to relative and center it.
Then align other elements using position absolute and top bottom left right property wrt the ~container~div.
here is the code for it
<div id="container">
<div id="element1"></div>
<div id="element1"></div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
width: 800px; height: 400px
position: relative;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
margin-top: -200px; margin-left: -400px }
#element1 {
position: absolute;
top: -30px; left: -20px;}
#element2 {
position: absolute;
top: 410px; left: 820px;}
</style>
Heyo, I'm using a 2000px width image as a background for a 960px width webpage. I am trying to make it so it doesn't show a horizontal scrollbar when a part of the image is to the right of what's visible, but what I'm trying to do is not working for me.
Two IDs are involved. One is 'bg' which has the background image as its background and is positioned where I want it, while the other is 'bg_holder' which contains only 'bg' and which I tried to use to neatly cover the visible web page area and hide its overflow so the part of the background image that is jutting out wouldn't cause a scrollbar. But this does not appear work, as a scrollbar is created when there is a part of the image to the right of the visible web page (but not when it's to the left).
Is there anything wrong with this CSS snippet? Could something outside of this snippet be the source of the problem? Is there another approach I can take?
#bg_holder {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 960px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
#bg {
background: url(../img/bg.jpg);
position: absolute;
height: 1050px;
width: 2000px;
margin-left: -1366px;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
}
To answer your question, by positioning #bg absolutely, you take it out of the document flow / out of it's parent element, so the overflow:hidden has no effect.
As an additional comment, you can position the background image exactly where you want (x, y) when you put it directly in #bg_holder, there doesn't seem to be any need to put the background in a separate div. As far as I can tell at least, but I haven't seen the rest of your code and don't know what you want to achieve exactly.
