Float div above scrollable div without its scroll bar being covered - css

I have a scrollable div and I want to put a message above it. I'm doing this by offsetting the content in the scrollable div by 30px and adding a position:absolute div that's 30px tall to the top. However, I'm running into the problem where this div covers the scroll bar of the div below it. How can I put a message at the top of a scrollable div without it covering the scroll bar?
 
Here is a quick example of my code. Note the scroll bar is covered by the red div:
http://jsfiddle.net/S4mXy/1

The following style of css helps you. you should have to add z-index to the sticky
#sticky
{
width:200px;
height:30px;
background-color:rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.39);
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
}

You need to have both DIVs either absolute or relative. I moved the sticy div outside the scrollable div and removed the absolute positioning and it fixed it http://jsfiddle.net/S4mXy/3/
HTML:
<div id="sticky"></div>
<div id="scrollable">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut at felis dolor. Cras et sagittis leo. Aenean facilisis rutrum odio, in volutpat ante pulvinar nec. Fusce pulvinar magna in consequat consequat. Vivamus hendrerit adipiscing magna quis malesuada. Sed metus odio, gravida quis purus in, lobortis facilisis ligula. Donec ac tristique nibh, ullamcorper feugiat diam. Integer rhoncus vehicula ornare. Aenean ut posuere lectus. Mauris in enim posuere, volutpat erat at, blandit sapien. Cras quis adipiscing quam. Donec convallis elementum est, vitae placerat ante scelerisque ut. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut at felis dolor. Cras et sagittis leo.

</p>
</div>
CSS #1:
#scrollable
{
width:200px;
height:400px;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
#scrollable p
{
margin-top:30px;
}
#sticky
{
width:200px;
height:30px;
background-color:rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.39);
}
Or, make them both absolute http://jsfiddle.net/S4mXy/4/ :
CSS #2:
#scrollable
{
position:absolute;
top:35px;
width:200px;
height:400px;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
#scrollable p
{
margin-top:30px;
}
#sticky
{
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:30px;
background-color:rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.39);
}

Pure CSS parallax without fixed background height?

I'm trying to get a pure CSS parallax effect working without having a fixed background height. This has been described in a few places, but they have the common constraint that the background layer must have a fixed, known height.
I would like to get the effect working without having a fixed, known height for the background due to some dynamic content.
My minimal example is here: https://jsfiddle.net/yf8oyben/
#container {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
perspective: 1px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.background {
transform: translateZ(-1px) scale(2);
width: 100%;
background: lightgreen;
height: 250px; /* Assumes bg height */
position: absolute; /* Assumes bg height */
top: calc(125px - 50vh); /* Assumes bg height */
}
.foreground {
background: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5);
width: 100%;
position: absolute; /* Assumes bg height */
top: 250px; /* Assumes bg height */
}
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id="group1">
<div class="background">
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
<center>Banner</center>
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
</div>
<div class="foreground">
<div style="height: 10rem"></div>
<center>Content</center>
<div style="height: 100rem"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
It works now but assumes that the background is 250px, as annotated in the CSS. Is it possible to remove this and still retain the effect as it currently is?
You can achieve this parallax effect without knowing the height of the banner. you just need to drop the absolute positioning and adapt the perspective-origin and transform-orign properties They need to be positioned one on top of the other.
Here is a demo: CSS only parallax effect
*{margin:0;padding:0;}
#wrap{
position:fixed;
width:100%; height:100%;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
perspective: 1px;
perspective-origin:0 0;
}
.bg{
background:teal;
transform-origin:0 0;
transform: translateZ(-1px) scale(2);
}
.bg img{
display:block;
width:100%; height:auto;
}
.cont{
position:relative;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
color:#fff;
padding:5%;
}
.cont *{
max-width:900px;
margin:5% auto;
}
<div id="wrap">
<div class="bg">

bootstrap equal height divs (Responsive Design)

I have a side-bar div that will have ads. It should have a fixed width of about 333px and need it to be responsive is possible in its height.
It has a background but when content loads in the main div the side-bar div will not extend the length of the main content. I have tried a few things but get varied results in different browsers.
When in the mobile view or when it's in a small view the side bar should fit to the size of the window width wise and only be has high as the content in the side-bar.
I have loaded a few images for examples to show what I need.
Below is the ccs I have
.main
{
padding: 20px;
}
.side-bar
{
background-image: url('../images/BlueBG.jpg');
width: 333px;
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
This has been asked a few times on SO, but you can use flexbox for this. If you are using bootstrap, you most likely will have a container-fluid class. Simply set the display to flex and all the items inside will become flex-items. This will allow you to have them stretch. In your case, you will have to set container-fluid back to block or set your main and side-bar to flex-basis:100% in a media query for your mobile.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/56we9rmj/2/

Hope that helps!
Giving position:absolute; and 100% height to the sidebar will do. http://jsfiddle.net/fdf01y4b/
Resize the window or add more text to see it in action
.side-bar {
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
If you have problems with the sidebar going out of the parent div, just give position:relative; to the parent wrapper like I did on the Jsfiddle example
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="main">Content</div>
<div class="side-bar">Sidebar</div>
</div>
.wrapper{
position:relative;
}
For smaller screens you can just remove the sidebar position:absolute; to position:initial; with media queries:
#media (max-width: 600px){
.side-bar{
position: initial;
}
}

CSS: 3 row (header,footer,content) liquid layout, trying to make middle one expand on window.resize

I'm building a 3 row liquid layout. I have a fixed height header and a footer. I also have a minimum width for the wrapper (for these 3 rows).
The problem is, I can't make the middle one (#content) resize vertically. If I make position:absolute then I lose control over scrolling. I thought I could do it using the top,bottom,margin and padding while setting the height to 100% but I couldn't.
Here's the code that I'm using to test it and here's the fiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/inhan/kUZgY/ You will see that the lighter gray background won't expand when window is resized.
I'm willing to use CSS only and not use HTML5 features. What am I missing? Thanks for any input.

Extra Info
I'm actually not really interested in setting a minimum width for the whole page but some middle content will need that. So if I can, I might wanna make the whole structure respect when there's min-width property in the content that is loaded.
This should be what you're after http://jsfiddle.net/kUZgY/6/
You were just missing html {height:100%;}
I also changed the #header and #footer to position:fixed

Pure CSS solution for equal column height with stacked divs

I recreated my issue here.
The problem is that the 'left' div should be matching the combined height of 'top' and bottom' right divs. I have been reading articles and tutorials on how to achieve equal height with columns of varying content but none of them seem to apply to the 'stacked' columns.
My current nonworking solution was built on a concept taken from this article:
The only way to make the height of a div equal to the tallest column
is if that div contains all the columns. So to explain this another
way, by placing the columns inside a container we cause the container
to be the height of the tallest column. This is a very useful
structure. For this structure to work correctly in all browsers the
container div must be floated (left or right) plus each of the column
content divs must also be floated, it does not matter which way.
I am aware of the equalHeights jQuery plugin and resize, but I would very much prefer CSS solutions.

HTML
<div id='right'></div>

Check it http://jsfiddle.net/6rBAw/4/
Here is a solution which works in IE 7 as well http://jsfiddle.net/6rBAw/6/ this solution makes use of negative margin bottom and padding bottom, the only thing is you have to give the margin bottom and padding bottom value the same and a large value and give the container of the column overflow hidden property.
#container{
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
**overflow: hidden;**
}
#left{
float:left;
width:200px;
background:#CD5555;
**padding:20px 20px 99999px 20px;
margin-bottom: -99999px;**
}
#right{
width:600px;
float:right;
**padding-bottom: 99999px;
margin-bottom: -99999px;**
background-color: black;
height: 1000px;
}

Why does this div have gaps at top and bottom

Using this HTML, I have a div with a pink border, without the border there is no whitespace at the top and bottom, with the border there is, and it doesn't look right.
<head>
<style>
blockquote {
background-color:#AAA;
border-color:#FAA;
border-width:5px;
border-style:solid;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
padding:0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body><blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris a magna vel ante lobortis blandit. Cras justo nulla, commodo eu mollis eu, ultrices sed lorem. Nullam varius, metus eu venenatis luctus, est elit ultrices est, ut facilisis nunc nunc ac nunc. Morbi non neque vitae orci eleifend volutpat sed nec justo. Morbi a elit enim, ut tempus mi. Vestibulum a quam et diam consequat porttitor non eget urna. Curabitur tincidunt adipiscing ante non dignissim. Sed laoreet ultrices massa. Aenean hendrerit blandit sagittis.</p></blockquote></body>
If you use the TryItEditor from w3schools: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic
You will see how there is a gap between the pink border and text at the top and bottom, the padding is all set to 0, so how do I get rid of this gap?
That's the padding or margin on the p element
blockquote p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
