Looking at centering a div across all browser and screen resolutions.
Seen that the left 50% with margin-left of the div width to be quite common but wrapping the div completely in a containing div cuts off the background of my div.
My div will spread across the whole of the screen with a light grey background with an inner div with my content within.
I have tried using percentages and pixels but cannot get it to sit central in both 1920 wide and 1200 wide.
css is as follows:
#default-upper-strap {
background-color: #ddd;
width: 109.61%;
margin-top: 25px;
z-index: 99999;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 23px;
margin-left: -8px;
max-width: 1920px;
}
#default-strap-left {
width: 810px;
height: 100%;
float: left;
margin-left: 21%;
}
Why don't you start with the following:
<div class="default-upper-strap">
<div class="default-strap-left">Some content...</div>
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
.default-upper-strap {
background-color: #ddd;
width: 100%;
max-width: 1920px;
margin: 25px auto 0 auto;
padding-left: 0px;
}
.default-strap-left {
width: 810px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
border-top: 1px dashed blue;
}
Use margin: 0 auto to center the child element within the parent container.
When the parent container reaches its maximum width, the margin: 25px auto 0 auto rule
will take care of centering the parent container if this is what you want.

My gender-reg (child of register-page isn't centering) it stays to the very left for some reason? I need it centered!
.register-page {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
...
.gender-reg {
border: solid yellow;
#include scale-to-screen((
margin-bottom: 10px
))
}
<div class="gender-reg">
<selection-dropdown params="all: allGenderChoices"></selection-dropdown>
</div>
Basically what happens is everything else on the page is centered, except this element. I have zero idea as to why! Usually margin: auto centers it. I'm stuck!
A width of 100% will not center the element, Because there is no extra space.
If you set it to 50% then it will center the element within its parent.
Try this:
.register-page {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
I have created a grid and now have problems with max-width. I want to have containers which take up the available width and are restricted by a left and right margin. This containers can contain children. These children may be bigger then the parent container and may be moved with the class .move-to-right-border to the right border to take up full width on the right.
I now have added a max-width to the container, to restrict the width. But now i have the problem that i can't set child elements to take up full width. I tried with 100vw, but width 100vw the scrollbar is included. Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Maybe it gets more clear with this example, comment max-width in and out to see what i want.
.row-right {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-right: 100px;
max-width: 700px; /* to see the problem comment max-width in and out */
width: calc(100% - 100px - 200px);
border: 1px solid red;
}
.move-to-right-border {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: calc(100% + 100px);
border: 2px solid blue;
}

just use below css
CSS
.row-right p {
text-align: justify;
width : 100%
}
Hope this will help you :)
I think u r after something like this:
.parent{
position: relative;
height: 300px;
padding: 10px 0;
background-color: #99ff99;
text-align: center;
}
.container{
width: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100px;
padding: 30px 0;
background-color: #ff9999;
}
.child{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
left: 0;
background-color: #9999ff;
}
<div class="parent">
This is parent
<div class="container">
This is container
<div class="child">
This is child
</div>
</div>
</div>
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 am using the following CSS for a container DIV with height of html and body set to 100%, and yet it is not stretching beyond the edge of the window on this page, i.e. when scrolling up to reveal content lower down the page, the container DIV is not showing:
#container {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #292929;
width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100%;
}
Could someone please let me know why this isn't working.
Add overflow: hidden to:
#container {
overflow: hidden; /* Right here */
background-color: #292929;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0;
min-height: 100%;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-top: 0;
width: 1200px;
}
That will cause #container to flow past the bottom of the floated elements within it that should give it it's calculated height. Another option is to do a .clearfix.
You should use Height, instead of width:
height: 1200px;
Instead of:
width: 1200px;
I'm having trouble getting my layout working correctly, I have a main div and a sidebar div these are both float: left if the screen size is resized or if its viewed on screen smaller that what I have designed on (1920x1080) then the sidebar div drops below the main content.
I tried placing a wrapper around each div, but this has no effect.
<div id="header">
[Header]
</div>
<div id="content">
[Content]
</div>
<div id="sideBar">
[SideBar]
</div>
<div id="footer">
[Footer]
</div>
body
{
width: 100%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #000000;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#header
{
width: 100%;
height: 110px;
background-color: #336699;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#content
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width: 70%;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#sideBar
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width: 15%;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#footer
{
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #174555;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
color: #ffffff;
clear: both;
}
Basicly both div's should resize until a certain size is reached, then scrolling should be enabled. I'm pretty sure I have done something simple wrong but i'm not much of a design person.
Example can be shown here : Link
Thanks for any advice :)
Karpie's right.
Also why not simply start out with one main div, say measuring 1000px in width, then work within that? If you can't do that then choose a measurement type, like px, and stick with for the widths, padding and margins of those elements. At least that would make it easier to do your math and know how much space you do or don't have.
I generally stick to relative measurements, like pixels (I don't like absolutes, it's personal. :P).
EDIT
Ok, try this, add a wrapper around the entire page (just to test, so bear with me). Give that wrapper an id of like #main-body or something, and define a width. Set the widths of the content and sidebar. If you minimize the screen, the sidebar shouldn't fall below the content div. It wil go outside the view port, though.
/* Wrap all in #main-body with specified width */
#main-body{
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
}
/* give these elements a relative width */
#content
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width:600px;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#sideBar
{
float: left;
width:100px;
margin-left: 50px;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
Sorry for the length of this. :P
You're mixing up percentages and pixels. 70% width + 30px padding + 50px margin (all on content) + 50px margin + 15% width + 30px padding (all on sidebar) can add up to more than 100%.
