I have been tasked with making an update to the following site:
http://www.sandysharkey.com/
I would like it to allow an infinite number of images to appear horizontally in each category. You will see right now that the width is hard set in the CSS, which isn't ideal as the image will start tiling underneath each other if they reach that width.
Any tips on how I can modify the CSS to allow for this?
Thanks.
Have you tried white-space: nowrap; ?
Set
white-space: nowrap;
on the image container element. Also add display: inline-block; to your images if you didn't already (or inline).
You should consider using some kind of slider script. People don't like horizontal scrollbars
There is a jquery solution I have created, which allows you to add as many images as you like, and it will adjust the width of the image container dynamically. See here - http://codepen.io/lukeocom/pen/zovbe
For a CSS only solution, you would create a container for the image container. The image container would be auto width, the outer container would have overflow-x set to auto. This css can be viewed in the above demo too.
hope this helps

Having an issue with content with floated images and text that is now deep inside a flex container (wasn't in previous site). See here for example: https://m2.alocalprinter.shop/products/flyers-leaflets/flyer-printing
Scroll down to the description below the products. The floated icons next to the text should be 60x60px with 20px right padding and variable bottom padding. But they are rendered at 40x40px. If I increase image width to 80px then it renders at 60px. For whatever reason flex is setting the image width to width minus padding. Only way I have found to correct this is to switch from padding to margin then it behaves as expected. For example, first icon using margin instead of padding:
Problem is that would require us to go through all the content to make this change. I've tried to reproduce this on CodePen but with a simple layout it doesn't happen. Must be something to do with the more complex layout of a real page. I've tried everything I can think of and have found but nothing other than using margin instead of padding fixes it.
Can anyone see a way to fix this flex bug with CSS rather then having to change all the content to workaround it?
Yes there are better ways to lay out the content but what's been done is what worked perfectly well before and suits the skills of staff that manage the content day-to-day.
#Adam Because there is box-sizing property applied by default. So in this case you can initialize image box-sizing: initial; by adding css for images.
so this will help you.
.category-below-description img {
box-sizing: initial;
}
Im trying to build some fancy item grid by using bootstrap and flex. Therefore the item image always has to extend to 100% width of available space by keeping the 1:1 ratio.

I got it to work by using the css background image. But I struggle to make it look the same by using an img-tag. Im running out of ideas, hope you can help me.
In your CSS just specify the width: 100% on your image and don't touch the height (or set it to auto which is the default).
The parent of your image should also have a position:absolute or position:relative in order for the width to work properly
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/s3spdy5z/
I think the images are pushing the width of the boxes to the max-width so kind of overriding the flexbox settings. With the background images you basically don't have any content inside them so flexbox can calculate the widths and not worry about content. The images are set to 100% but it thinks you want 100% of the max-width therefore the grid doesn't fit anymore.
If you set width: 33%; on the .flex-item and remove the min and max the grids will look the same.
I'm trying to make my site responsive and I'm having trouble creating containers divs where their height responds to the content within them. I've tried setting height to 100% but it's not working for.
Most of the content blocks are flowing below each other as I resize my browser but the containers aren't expanding to fit around them.
HomePage
Does anyone know do I have anything fundamentaly wrong in how the page is built that is preventing me from acheiving this?
Cheers.
You need to clear your floats. One example is .mission-statement. When you have multiple divs floating inside a div, the container collapses on itself. In your case, it's only partially collapsing because you have a min-height set.
You do this easily by doing something like this:
.mission-statement:after {
clear: both;
display: table;
content: '';
}
To affect all divs you can change .mission-statement:after to div:after
Images will automatically have a height of 100% of the image relative to the width and the percent tag is percent of the browser window. What you may want is a width tag that might be max-width=*px and let the height be determined by the image itself.
Instead of letting me write you an answer I will refer to a really good thread about this. The solution anyway is something called clearfix.
css - What is clearfix?
I am trying to just create a basic layout, but i am having trouble to get it to auto-adjust the height.
Something is wrong with the DIV-container since it's not adding the padding correctly to the top and bottom elements. It should be the size of the highest block, right now its the menu block.
Any ideas?
Website
in the container that holds your divs (the one whose height is not adjusting), use a css clear fix. Your container div will adjust once you use this method.
Add overflow: hidden; to the CSS for that particular <div>.
Inspect your HTML by using Google Chrome or Firefox with the firebug addon. Is so easy to see where and where not there is correct padding, margins etc... Additional ye see all css for a selected element as well...
Btw. When you are using padding, are you sure the rows above and below are cleared ?
Tried using margins instead?
I have a really cool website that allows people to upload images. Sometimes there images are really large, as seen in the below div:
![Overflow][1]
Is there a style that can I add to my DIVs to fix this?
Link
Set your CSS overflow property on the div to one of these:
overflow: auto; /* Adds scrollbars only when necessary */
overflow: scroll; /* Adds inactive scrollbars until needed, then activates */
overflow: visible; /* Causes the div to expand to fit the content */
overflow: hidden; /* Hides any content that overflows */
You can use the CSS overflow property: set it to hidden or auto to either hide content or add scrollbars if necessary.
Generally speaking, with large images you want to thumbnail them and not automatically display them, particularly if they're over a certain size.
Using the height and width CSS attributes (or the height and width attributes) will scale the image but it'll still download the whole thing. If its large that could be a problem. It's best to generate a thumbnail on upload, display that and then allow the user to click on that to display the full-size image.
<style>img { max-width: 100% }</style>
This will make the browser resize images to fit inside their containing box. There's a few drawbacks, one being that it obviously won't work in IE6 (maybe 7?), and if the containing element has padding you'll need a wrapper around the image to make it fit.
Another great one although not fully supported would be adding max-width: 400px to your image.
Instead of using CSS, you should do a basic width & height check on your server side, and if it goes beyond a certain threshold use HTML/Javascript to resize the image. Many website forum applications do this and often allow you to click to expand the image.
Then make sure you use the Z-LAYER property to make sure the image floats above content blocks so when the image expands it's above everything.
Automatically resize each of the uploaded images, using a toolkit like ImageMagick. You'd also end up with better looking images, because it'll resample (rather than just resize).
You can then create good looking thumbnails, previews and other sizes of each images that'll fit nicely into your template designs.
If you don't want to go all the way to resizing the actual image file, and want to maintain the proportions of the image, then you can interrogate the image for its sizes (height and width) then multiply them by a required factor to fit into your div.
For example, if you have a 1024x768 image and want to put it in a div that is 800 wide, you know the width will be 800, and the height will be 768 x (800/1024) = 600. Then when displaying your image you can set the height and width properties as required.
or, with some little piece of javascript, you can check for an image width. if is larger than Xpx, then you scale to Ypx. Ofcourse, you will have a little "image flick" until the page is completly loaded.
You can inspire yourself from any IPB forum :)
