I think this is because I'm using floats and fluid layout.
How can I extend the columns while keeping the fluid layout and the float positioning.
I've updated your code. Check out it on Plunker.
At first try to not use absolute or relative positions, if there is no need of them.
The second, in your case by giving display: inline and float: left styles, do the same thing, so there is enough to use only the latter one.
Besides, I've set the height of HTML and BODY tags to be 100% and did the same for sidebar and content DIVs, so they will fill the parent's (body) height.
And finally, one of your problems was the repeat-y value of background property. It didn't repeat on x axis, so you didn't see the actual size of the DIVs. I've just set it to repeat instead of repeat-y.
Try something like this:

This is a common question but slightly different from the solutions I found and I've been trying to solve it without success, so if someone could give me a help on this I would appreciate.
I have a #wrapper div that stretches to 100% width and height of browser. So far, so good... Now, inside the #wrapper I need a #content div that auto stretches with the parent div maintaining a 30px margin around it. I (almost) managed to do it but I can't make the #content div stretch in its height.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
This is the CSS code I have:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
cursor: default;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
position: absolute;
background: #333;
text-align: center;
}
#content {
/*width: 100%;*/
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
margin: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
}
This is the HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
This DIV should stretch to 100% height of its parent and body
minus the 30px margin around and resize as the window is resized.<br />
It's working in width but not in height!<br /><br />
Whatever goes in here (a child DIV) no matter its size should not be
visible beyond this DIV boundaries (as the Overflow is set to "hidden")!
</div>
</div>
</body>
And this is what I'm getting in both Chrome and IE:
Any help on this? Is it possible? Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks in advance,
LM
In your .css, replace #content with the following
#content {
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
right: 30px;
bottom: 30px;
}
#content {
min-height:90%;
position:absolute;
margin: 5%;
overflow: hidden;
background: #ccc;
}
I'm trying to put two divs without a linebreak between them.
this is the html:
<div id="header">
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="left">
<div id="slideshow"></div>
</div>
</div>
and this is the CSS:
#header {
background-color: #13768a;
width: 962px;
height: 207px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
clear: both;
}
#logo {
background-image:url('logo.png');
height: 207px;
width: 250px;
margin-right: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#left {
width:712px;
height: 207px;
}
#slideshow {
background-color: #137387;
width: 686px;
height: 144px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
the problem is that I want it to look like this:

How it looks like
This is controlled by the display style property. Normally, div elements use display: block. You can use display: inline or display: inline-block instead if you want them on the same horizontal line.
Example using inline-block (live copy | source):
CSS:
.ib {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
HTML:
<div class="ib">Div #1</div>
<div class="ib">Div #2</div>
Introduce a float CSS property. Change CSS as below, for #logo and #left.
#logo {
background-image:url('logo.png');
height: 207px;
width: 250px;
margin-right: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float:right;
}
#left {
width:712px;
height: 207px;
float:left;
}
From the MDN Documentation,
The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from
the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its
container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it.
Div elements normally use display:block which forces a line break before and after the element.If you want to remove the line breaks , you can use display:inline which will display elements horizontally.Make the div's display property to display:inline or display:inline-block you want to appear horizontally .
Try this way:
#logo {
background-image:url('logo.png');
height: 207px;
width: 250px;
margin-right: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float:right;}
#left {
position:relative;
width:712px;
height: 207px;
}
#slideshow {
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:20px;
background-color: #137387;
width: 686px;
height: 144px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
Basically I put a float:right; on the logo to position it right, then added position:relative to the #left div and position:absolute to the #slideshow div. This way you can adjust the top and left attributes to position the slideshow anywhere you want it.
display:inline is the css style that you need to use.
In my html I have a div classed "footer". I want it to have a bg to #000 and occupy the full page width and left no white space after it.
I am currently using this CSS:
.footer {
color: #fff;
clear: both;
margin: 0em 0em 0em 0em;
padding: 0.75em 0.75em;
background: #000;
position: relative;
top: 490px;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
But the full page width isn't filled with this css code.
Any help? Thanks!
I use sticky footer: http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
/*
Sticky Footer by Ryan Fait
http://ryanfait.com/
*/
* {
margin: 0;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -142px;
/* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
}
.footer,
.push {
height: 142px;
/* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}
<div class='wrapper'>
body goes here
<div class='push'></div>
</div>
<div class='footer'>Footer!</div>
Essentially, the wrapper is 100% height, with a negative margin the height of the footer ensuring the footer is always at the bottom without causing scroll.
This should accomplish your goal of having a 100% width footer and narrower body as well, because divs are block level elements, and their width is by default 100% of their parent. Keep in mind the footer here is not contained by the wrapper div.
you could make the footer div absolute to the page like this:
.footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
background-color: #000;
height: 100px;/* or however high you would like */
}
I use a few DIV elements for each section of my webpages.
<div id="tplBody">
<div id="tplHeader">
...
</div>
<div id="tplContent">
...
</div>
<div id="tplFooter">
...
</div>
</div>
Each section is relatively positioned. Using wrapping DIVs, I can set the wrapper a specific width and the elements inside it can be 100% width.
I suggest you steer away from absolute positioning and floating, because they create compatibility issues so may not appear correctly on all browsers.
if you want that your footer be fixed on your page :
.footer{ position:fixed;}
but if you want your footer fixed end of page :
see that
I'm glad for the support you all provided, each one of these replies helped me somehow. I came to this code:
.footer {
height: 59px;
margin: 0 auto;
color: #fff;
clear: both;
padding: 2em 2em;
background: #000;
position: relative;
top: 508px;
}
Thanks!
This issue i have came cross when I started an web application using Bootstrap menu and fixed footer irrespective of browser resolution.
Use below styling for footer element
In-line style
External style sheet using class attribute in Div
<div class="footer"></div>
style.css
.footer
{
backgroud-color:black;
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
height:2%;
}
External style sheet using id attribute in Div
<div id="divfooter"></div>
style.css
#divfooter
{
backgroud-color:black;
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
height:2%;
}
You can use this styles in your CSS to achieve your goal
.footer{
background-color: #000;
min-width: 100%;
height: 100px;
bottom:0;
position: fixed;
}
If you are using bootstrap try with margin-left: -15px and margin-right:-15px but it will not be necessary in most cases when you have your own class.
html:
<div class="footer">
<p>
Some text comes here! © 2015 - 2017
</p>
</div>
css:
.footer {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
text-align: center;
background: rgb(59, 67, 79);
position: fixed;
bottom: 0%;
margin-top: 50%;
}
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
I was facing same issue and solved it with using jquery.
<body>
<div id="header" style="background-color: green">This is header</div>
<div id="main-body" style="background-color: red">This is body</div>
<div id="footer" style="background-color: grey">This is footer</div>
</body>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(($(document).height() - $("body").height()) > 0){
var main_body_height = $(document).height() - $("#footer").height() - $("#header").height()
$('#main-body').css('min-height', main_body_height+'px');
}
</script>
What I'm doing here is based on the Screen size of the User.
I'm increasing the main-body section height after subtracting the height of header and footer from it.
If the complete html body height is less then the user screen size then it will increase the main-body section height and automatically footer will reach the bottom of page.
This question already has answers here:
How can I horizontally center an element?
(133 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a div tag with width set to 800 pixels. When the browser width is greater than 800 pixels, it shouldn't stretch the div, but it should bring it to the middle of the page.
<body>
<div style="width:800px; margin:0 auto;">
centered content
</div>
</body>
position: absolute and then top:50% and left:50% places the top edge at the vertical center of the screen, and the left edge at the horizontal center, then by adding margin-top to the negative of the height of the div, i.e., -100 shifts it above by 100 and similarly for margin-left. This gets the div exactly in the center of the page.
#outPopUp {
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
z-index: 15;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -100px 0 0 -150px;
background: red;
}
<div id="outPopUp"></div>
Flexbox solution is the way to go in/from 2015. justify-content: center is used for the parent element to align the content to the center of it.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="center">Center</div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
Output
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.center {
width: 400px;
padding: 10px;
background: #5F85DB;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Tahoma;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="center">Centered div with left aligned text.</div>
</div>
Do you mean that you want to center it vertically or horizontally? You said you specified the height to 800 pixels, and wanted the div not to stretch when the width was greater than that...
To center horizontally, you can use the margin: auto; attribute in CSS. Also, you'll have to make sure that the body and html elements don't have any margin or padding:
html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#centeredDiv { margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 800px; }
<div></div>
div {
display: table;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
To make it also work correctly in Internet Explorer 6 you have to do it as follows:
HTML
<body>
<div class="centered">
centered content
</div>
</body>
CSS
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* !!! */
}
.centered {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
width: 800px;
}
Div centered vertically and horizontally inside the parent without fixing the content size
Here on this page is a nice overview with several solutions, too much code to share here, but it shows what is possible...
Personally I like this solution with the famous transform translate -50% trick the most. It works well for both fixed (% or px) and undefined height and width of your element.
The code is as simple as:
HTML:
<div class="center"><div>
CSS:
.center {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
-moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Firefox */
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Safari and Chrome*/
-o-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Opera */
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
/* optional size in px or %: */
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
Here a fiddle that shows that it works
You can also use it like this:
<div style="width: 60%; margin: 0px auto;">
Your contents here...
</div>
Simply use the center tag just after the body tag, and end the center tag just before body ends:
<body>
<center>
... Your code here ...
</center>
</body>
This worked for me with all the browsers I have tried.
This can be easily achieved via flex container.
.container{
width: 100%;
display: flex;
height: 100vh;
justify-content: center;
}
.item{
align-self: center;
}
Preview Link
Add this class to the div you want centered (which should have a set width):
.marginAutoLR
{
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
}
Or, add the margin stuff to your div class, like this:
.divClass
{
width:300px;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
}
Use the CSS flex property: http://jsfiddle.net/cytr/j7SEa/6/show/
body { /* Centered */
display: box;
flex-align: center;
flex-pack: center;
}
Some other pre-existing setups from older code that will prevent div page centering L&R are:
Other classes hidden in external stylesheet links.
Other classes embedded in something like an img (like for older external CSS print format controls).
Legend code with IDs and/or CLASSES will conflict with a named div class.
Centering without specifying div width:
body {
text-align: center;
}
body * {
text-align: initial;
}
body div {
display: inline-block;
}
This is something like <center> tag does, except:
all direct inline childs elements (eg. <h1>) of <center> will also positioned to center
inline-block element can have different size (comapred to display:block setting) according to browser defaults
Use the below code for centering the div box:
.box-content{
margin: auto;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 800px;
height: 100px;
background-color: green;
}
<div class="box-content">
</div>
If you have some regular content, and not only one line of text, the only possible reason I know is to calculate margin.
Here is an example:
HTML
<div id="supercontainer">
<div id="middlecontainer">
<div class="common" id="first">first</div>
<div id="container">
<div class="common" id="second">second</div>
<div class="common" id="third">third</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.common {
border: 1px solid black;
}
#supercontainer {
width: 1200px;
background: aqua;
float: left;
}
#middlecontainer {
float: left;
width: 104px;
margin: 0 549px;
}
#container {
float: left;
}
#first {
background: red;
height: 102px;
width: 50px;
float: left;
}
#second {
background: green;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
#third {
background: yellow;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
So, #supercontainer is your "whole page" and its width is 1200px.
#middlecontainer is div with content of your site; it's width 102px. In case the width of content is known, you need to divide the page's size to 2, and subtract half of content's width from the result:
1200 / 2 - (102 / 2) = 549;
Yes, I'm also seeing that this is der grosse fail of CSS.
.middle {
margin:0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
/* it brings div to center */
parent {
position: relative;
}
child {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
<parent>
<child>
</child>
</parent>
Use justify-content and align-items to horizontally and vertically align a div
https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/CSS/justify-content
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/align-items
html,
body,
.container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.mydiv {
width: 80px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="mydiv">h & v aligned</div>
</div>
body, html {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.container .box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/NPV2E/
"width:100%" for the "body" tag is only for an example. In a real project you may remove this property.
Simple http://jsfiddle.net/8pd4qx5r/
html {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 260px;
text-align: center;
background: pink;
}
This also works in Internet Explorer, but auto margins do not.
.centered {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
left: -500px;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 50%;
}
If your center content is deep inside other divs then only margin can save you. Nothing else. I face it always when not using a framework like Bootstrap.
In my case, the phone screen size is unknown, and here is what I did.
HTML
<div class="loadingImg"></div>
CSS
.loadingImg{
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
z-index: 9999999;
border: 0;
background: url('../images/loading.gif') no-repeat center;
background-size: 50px 50px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
}
JavaScript (before you need to show this DIV)
$(".loadingImg").css("height",$(document).height());
$(".loadingImg").css("width",$(document).width());
$(".loadingImg").show();
<body>
<div style=" display: table; margin: 250 auto;">
In center
</div>
</body>
If you want to change the vertical position, change the value of 250 and you can arrange the content as per your need. There is no need to give the width and other parameters.
For some reason, none of the previous answers worked for me really. This is what worked for me and it works across browsers as well:
.center {
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
/* Safari, Opera, and Chrome */
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
/* Firefox */
display: -moz-box;
-moz-box-pack: center;
-moz-box-align: center;
/* Internet Explorer 10 */
display: -ms-flexbox;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
}
Get the width of the screen.
Then make margin left 25%
Make margin right 25%
In this way the content of your container will sit in the middle.
Example: suppose that container width = 800px;
<div class='container' width='device-width' id='updatedContent'>
<p id='myContent'></p>
<contents></contents>
<contents></contents>
</div>
if ($("#myContent").parent === $("updatedContent"))
{
$("#myContent").css({
'left': '-(device-width/0.25)px';
'right': '-(device-width/0.225)px';
});
}
