Bootstrap Popovers are not positioned correctly - css

I have been implementing some extra placements for bootstrap's popovers, and they are all working quite nicely. I am however having trouble with dynamic content in popovers.
The content is rendering fine and dandy, but if I use top positioning for the popover, and it's height changes (dynamically) according to it's content, the placement becomes wrong:
How can I fix the popovers so that when the height is adjusted, the anchor point stays the same?

Try this:
.popover{position:fixed;}

It has the top position by default please make it bottom and adjust the position according to it. Then the height will increase upward and it will not affect your design.

You'll want something like this:
FIDDLE
.bubble
{
position: absolute;
left: -100px; /* -half width of bubble + half width of button */
bottom: 100%;
margin-bottom: 15px; /* height of callout spike */
width: 250px;
min-height: 50px;
padding: 5px;
}
From the image in the question it seems that the rule
margin-bottom: 15px; /* height of callout spike */
is the one that is missing.

CSS Auto-height Div doesn't position itself correctly

I'm trying to get a simple page layout where the navbar sits vertically along the right side of the user's window, taking up no more than 20% of the available space. The remaining 80% of space to the left is used for content.
I want the entire page to be resizable, so no matter how big or small the browser window is (within reason), the content will resize to the user's screen. Everything works and resizes great, but there's one problem with the navBar. Here's a CSS excerpt:
body{
background-color: #111111;
font-family: Roboto;
color: #cccccc;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
#navBar{
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00C9FF;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}
#welcome{
background-color: #222222;
text-align: center;
margin: 1%;
}
The Problem:
If I leave the code above as is, the navBar renders on the right side of the screen, as it should, but it is not 100% the height of the browser window. Note it still resizes when the browser window's WIDTH is changed.
If I set navBar's position to absolute (position: absolute) the navbar renders exactly how it should render, except it floats to the left side of the browser, basically making it on the complete opposite side of where it should be.
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/YPyvzO (remove position: absolute to see where the navBar SHOULD render)
I have tried several different things including setting "HTML" in CSS to height: 100% and several different position properties for navbar, all to no avail. I'd like for this to be done only in CSS, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Add the following:
position: absolute;
right: 0;
to #navBar. One thing that took me a long time to understand is that position: absolute overrides everything, even floats.
when you resize the browser the width and height change, so for this purpose you have to use media query in CSS and in this you have to tell the browser that in this width the navbar should be in given width. and another option is that you can use bootstrap, in bootstrap you not write too much css. and all the work become easy.

Display inline-block element with responsive image inside gets incorrect width once placed inside a absolute/fixed container in firefox

The title says it all. I have an image with height: 100% inside each of a couple display: inline-block <li> elements. When their container is position: static. All is peachy. But when I change it to position: absolute/fixed, the <li> elements get width of the original image, not the scaled down width even though the image itself has correct dimensions.
This behaves as expected in Chrome, but breaks in Firefox.
Did anyone encounter this behaviour? More importantly, is it possible to fix it without JS?
Background: I am making a responsive position: fixed gallery that fits the screen with image thumbnails covering bottom 20% of the viewport.
Isolated Demo (click the button to toggle position: static/fixed ):
http://jsfiddle.net/TomasReichmann/c93Xk/
Whole gallery
http://jsfiddle.net/TomasReichmann/c93Xk/2/
I finally got it working. It seems that when you declare something with
Position:fixed, left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
Only chrome recognizes that as "explicitly defined dimensions". Once I added height: 100%; Other browsers caught up. Fortunately the height 100% didn't break the layout even when the content underneath overflowed viewport.
http://jsfiddle.net/c93Xk/3/
It still breaks uniformily across all browsers when you try to resize the window. I guess, I'll have to calculate the widths by hand with JS
DEMO
Check the demo, is that what you are looking for?
I have added these 2 lines of css to make it work like that:
/* Keep Position fixed at bottom */
#gallery:not(.toggle) { width: 100%; bottom: 0; top: auto; height: 20%; background: transparent; }
#gallery:not(.toggle) .gallery-thumbs{ height: 100%; }

CSS Horizontal Rule to be full width & adjust to screen size

I am truly stuck with this, basically I am using wordpress, and want a horizontal line to go across the page (breaking out of the inside container). This line should adjust to the screen size, so if you zoom out the line should keep getting longer, basically an infinate line.
So far the what i've managed to do is the following code:
.horizontalrule1 {
position:relative;
height:82px;
background: #f1f2f2;
overflow:hidden;
width:600%;
margin-left: -100%;
}
This technically looks fine but the issue is it's causing a scroller to appear at the bottom of the page because the width is set at 600%
If I set the width to 100% it doesnt make the line full width and stops it at the inside container which is about 990px.
All I want is an infinate line that will adjust itself to the screen size, so if you have a screen width of 1900px the line should be 1900px etc.
Hope this makes sense.
My html is:
<div class="horizontalrule1"></div>
To give everyone a better idea of what i want, check out onlywire.com, they have thick grey horizontal rules that stretch accross the site. This is exactly what I'm looking to do.
You want it to go OUTSIDE the DOM element?
.elementContainingYourHorizontalRule {
overflow: auto; /* or whatever, just don't set it to hidden. */
position: relative;
}
.horizontalrule1 {
position: absolute;
width: 600%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -300%;
height: 2px; /* or whatever. */
}
I don't know if this is the best way to do things -- if I were you, I'd make your containing element go the full width of the page and let your custom HR do it's own thing automatically. I understand that may not work with your design/layout though.
At any rate, your horizontal rule will never be able to know your page width if you don't give the container the full width as well. So you're stuck with an ugly 600% hardcode until you get your container full-width.
Try this which should force it outside the surrounding container using negative horizontal margins:
hr {
margin: 20px -10000px;
}
And to avoid horizontal scrollbar add this to body:
body {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
If you only want to apply it to specific horizontal rulers, add it as a class.
HTML:
<hr class="full">
In Style Sheet:
hr.full {
margin: 20px -10000px;
}
You should set your body's padding and margin to 0 :
body{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Odd resizing with 960px innerwrap of desktop site

Id like to know why my inner wrap of the desktop css for this site is not working.
Basically if set innerwrap to margin:0 auto; and width: auto; there is no problem, but it's not centered on the footer or main div
When I have innerwrap as it's currently set margin:0 auto; and width:960px; you'll notice that the page presents a horizontal scroll bar after resizing the window a bit, and all the content is squished to the left with a white background starting to become visible.
Is there anyway to have it transition fluidly to the next tablet size layout without have a scroll bar appearing and content getting squished?
It shows Scrollbar because of the padding you apply in .innerwrap
Read this article about the Box Model
Use of padding on the sides of certain elements when applying 100% width to parent element its not recommendable because it adds width to the whole group, and since you,re using the browsers width it shows the scrollber to see the extra space you added.
My humble advice is that if you want a block element to appear centered apply an margin:auto style rule whenever is possible, the same also has to be displayed as a block element with no float.
Remove this:
.innerwrap {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-right: 10%;
width: 80%;
}
Keep This
.innerwrap {
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
}
Since you are applying fixed margins for you social icons they will show misplaced, so don't use fixed margins for centering them, use percentage width instead.
you may want use a common class for aligning them
.social {
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: block !important;
float: none;
height: 150px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 50px;
width: 30% !important;
}
For a.twittersocial and a.twittersocial:hover and the rest of the social links just keep the background properties.
Create a determined class if you need to apply common style rules to several elements (if there are many of them) and avoid usage of ID selectors whenever is possible, use classes instead (.daclass).
Use a web inspector like Firebug to track down styling errors.
Good luck Developer!

Auto positioning div as one scrolls the page down/up

Please see this UI sketch image, I have this div in sidebar (black box) on a certain site and as I scroll down or scroll up, I don't want it to hide...I want it to move itself down as I scroll down and move itself up as I scroll back up so that it never hides out. Can you recommend me some jQuery that can get this done? or something else. Please help, thanks.
Don't use jQuery for this please; it's pure CSS.
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
Adjust the exact position to your liking by adjusting top and left. Maybe you want it centered vertically like in the image (if the sketch is accurate in that aspect), in which case you have to deal with all the fun tricks necessary for vertical centering; hopefully in your case something like this would work:
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 50%; /* This places the _top_ of the div in the middle of the page. */
left: 10px;
height: 500px;
margin-top: -250px; /* This moves the div upward by half of its height,
thus aligning the middle of the div with the middle
of the page. */
}
