Fixed positions messes up the width - css

I have a HTML5 audio player in a div. I have set its width to 100%. I wanted to fix the player at the top when scrolled so I fixed it's position. The problem is when I do that, the player width overflows the container.
Below is my code.
HTML
<div id="container">
<audio arc="#" controls></audio>
</div>
CSS
#container {
width : 350px;
height: 300px;
background: #BADA55;
}
audio {
width: 100%;
/*position: fixed;*/
}
I created a fiddle to demonstrate the issue. Its currently in the state which I want it to look like. Un-comment the position: fixed; to see the problem.
Can anyone please tell me what I should do to make it stay fixed with the correct width?
Thanks

You can try with
width:inherit;

Need to wrap the audio element and apply the css to the wrapper. I updated your jsfiddle.
<div id="container">
<div class="audioWrap">
<audio arc="#" controls></audio>
</div>
</div>
Then CSS:
#container {
width : 350px;
height: 300px;
background: #BADA55;
position: relative;
}
.audioWrap {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
}
Note, if you are fixing it's position inside the container, you may want to add 'position: relative' to the container. I went ahead and added that to the jsfiddle.

How to overflow IMG on the left side of container? CSS

I looked all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't find a solution that fit my case. I am trying to make an IMG overflow on the left side of its container instead of overflowing on the right. I tried adding direction: rtl; but it did not work. Here is the pic of what I'm dealing with:

Thanks in advance
A way, if you have information about your image height and width, is to set the image as a background and control its left value. You will need to set a negative value to the background-position-x, such that the overflow will appear that it is starting from left.
.img {
overflow: hidden;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
background-position-x: -322px;
background-image: url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/KyxiY.png);
}
<body>
<div class="img"/>
</body>
Or another, if you would like to use the img tag.
.img {
position: relative;
left: -144px;
}
.container{
overflow: hidden;
}
<body>
<div class="container"><img class="img" src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/KyxiY.png"/></div>
</body>

HTML/CSS Footer not sticking to bottom moving on screen resize

I have the following attempt, trying to make a simple sticky footer.
My problem is the footer is not sicking to the bottom, I suspect it might be a css problem.
Would greatly appreciate it if someone can give the following code a scan and provide some advise.
#footer { /* position must be absolute and bottom must be 0 */
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: red;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
<footer class="footer" id="footer">
<div class="footLeft" style="width:75%; float:left;">
</div>
<div class="footerRight" style="width:25%; float:right; padding:25px;">
<button class="btn btn-danger" style="font-size:20px;">Sign Up</button>
</div>
</footer>
The Problem Im having / Output
Add the following rules to body
body {
min-height:100%;/*or 100vh */
position:relative;
}
Explanation:
The min-height property will make sure that the body at least takes 100% of your viewport height. This way even if you have less content your footer will always stick to the bottom of viewport.
Position: relative rule is set so that the footer is positioned absolute relative to the body and not any other wrapper
You can just use this native class to achieve sticky footer in bootstrap--
<div class="footer navbar-fixed-bottom">
Another possibility is using position:fixed, without influencing the body css.
In that case the footer would be always at the bottom of the page event if a scrollbar is present
Example
#footer { /* position must be absolute and bottom must be 0 */
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: red;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
See fiddle

div fill remaining height css

I have this code:
HTML:
<body>
<div id="menu">
menu elements...
</div>
<div id="main">
Main website content...
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body{background-color:CCCCFF;}
div#menu{background-color:#000000;display:table;height:45px;}
div#main{background-color:#FFFFFF;border-radius:10px;margin:10px;}
The menu div is a horizontal menu bar.
I want the main div fill the whole page (except the menu). Also when it is needed it should fill more space (example: if it has a lot of content). I don't want to use any javascript or the calc() method of CSS.
Is it possible to do what I want?
Thank you for your time!
Yes, you can add to your CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
and than your div will correctly use height attribute with %. You can add bottom, left, right, top attributes:
div#main {
position: absolute;
overflow: auto;
bottom: 5px;
top: 50px;
left: 5px;
right: 5px;
}
check margins and paddings.
If you can use javascript, that's may be interesting to use
height: auto;
max-height: 300px; /*calculated value on resize and load*/

CSS3: How can I set middle DIV to maximum height?

I want to use three <div> areas on my web page: Header, Content and Footer.
The Footer <div> is supposed to stick to the bottom of the web page.
The Header <div> is supposed to stick to the top of the page.
The Content <div> is supposed to fill the whole area in the middle of the page.
So this is the basic layout:
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
For the Footer to stay down the page I added
#footer
{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
For the Content <div> I'm using a background image, scaling exactly to the div element's dimensions:
#content
{
background: url("Bilder/Bild.png") center contain no-repeat black;
}
Now I want the Content <div> to be exactly the remaining height of the ViewPort between Header and Footer without adding any JavaScript, no matter what content is later added to the Content <div>.
How can I do that in CSS3?
If the size of footer and header is known, you can use calc(). So assuming both take 100px together, this should work:
html, body { height: 100%; }
#content {
height: calc( 100% - 100px );
}
Be aware, though, that old browsers do not support this. Also have a look at the compatibility table for the prefixes that might be needed.
Example Fiddle
you could use something like this. it will allow you to keep your positions in a range of resolutions.
#header {
position: fixed;
height: 10%;
}
#content {
position: fixed;
height: 80%;
top: 10%;
}
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
height: 10%;
}

Center Message box on Any Screen Resolution

Please Help me to center the message box on fit on any screen resolution..
can you show what css or style, margins, left, right,that I can use?
Center Horizontally
To center a div horizontally you can use margin: auto auto; width: 500px where the width is any width you want it to be.
JS Fiddle
HTML:
<div id="content">
Some content
</div>
CSS:
#content {
width: 200px;
margin: auto auto;
background-color: #CCC;
}
Center screen with fixed dimensions
If you can fix the content height and width then it's possible to center the div both horizontally and vertically using just css. This is achieved by wrapping your content in another div, then positioning your content div's top: 50% and then subtracting half the height of it's margin from it: margin-top: -100px, assuming the height was 200px. See example below:
JS Fiddle.
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
Some content
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper {
position: relative;
background-color: #EEE;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
font-size: 10px;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
margin-top: -40px;
margin-left: -40px;
background-color: #DDD;
}
Pretend it's vertically centered
Also you can give a fixed margin-top (or top with position: absolute) to make it seem vertically centered in most desktop and laptop screens.
JS Fiddle
HTML:
<div id="content">
Some content
</div>
CSS:
#content {
width: 200px;
margin: 100px auto;
background-color: #CCC;
}
Use Javascript
It is not possible to vertically center content with arbitrary height using just css. In this case you will need to use Javascript to position the div.:
The basic idea is:
you calculate the height of the content at the time you need to show the content, or when the content is loaded.
Then change any of the many css properties to position the div at the vertical center.
My personal preference is you to use position: absolute with top property. You can also use margin-top but you probably don't want this div to take up space in the box model if you have other content on the page.
JS Fiddle
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
var windowHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
var el = $('#content');
var elWidth = el.width();
var elHeight = el.height();
el.css({
position: 'absolute',
top: (windowHeight / 2) - (elHeight / 2),
left: (windowWidth / 2) - (elWidth / 2),
});
});
</script>
<style>
#content {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #CCC;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
Some content
</div>
</body>
</html>
Use any of the many Javascript "plugins" available
There is a multitude of CSS frameworks around the web that provide boilerplate CSS that we use on most websites. And some of these also help with these kind of common presentation issues with small Javascript plugins. Personally I know that Twitter Bootstrap provides a Modal plugin which you can use for this purpose. There is also many jQuery plugins for the sole purpose of centering content in a page.
Conclusion
Although there is a multitude of options to achieve this, I it sad to see that CSS still does not support doing this. Maybe it's a hard thing to do across different scenarios, I don't know. From the options that I mention above, I think the Javascript option is the most versatile, and with todays browser speeds, and the likeliness that nobody would have Javascript disabled on their browser, this would be the best way to go.
I just saw this after reading about how to do one on a CSS Techniques page.
Basically, define a little CSS:
.Absolute-Center {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
}
ADVANTAGES:
Cross-browser (including IE8-10)
No special markup, minimal styles
Responsive with percentages and min-/max-
Use one class to center any content
I have not had time to test it out, but I wanted to post it up here in the hope that it helps others.
Here is what you are searching for http://tutorialzine.com/2010/03/centering-div-vertically-and-horizontally/
You can easily make it with jquery! Or with an css solution given on this site!
You should give us your code that you have tried. Assume that you have HTML code like below:
<div id="message">
Hello World!
</div>
CSS code:
#message {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 50px auto;
}
Then your message box will be 100x100 and 50px from the top of the screen and automatically aligns to the center of the screen.
