I'm creating a chat application and need to align messages from users the way is done in Skype, from bottom to top.
A solution was found here,
but it has couple of flaws.
the height of container is a fixed height, I need to cover all available height of the window (if I use height: 100%, it shrinks completely).
The height of the message item is fixed, I need it to adjust to its content height.
Having a poor experience with CSS I'm having troubles to fix these 2 issues.
Can someone point to a solution?
It could be easier if you have provided your own jsfiddle. But anyway, I'm trying to answer your question by taking #IlyaStreltsyn jsbin.
You can position to be fixed and set vertical-align bottom and apply the gap from bottom. Here I have used 0px for demonstration.
.wrapper {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
width: 300px;
}

On the bottom of the image below, the background-color doesn't reach all the way. I've tried setting it to 100vh and 100% but the outcomes are the same where it only covers up to a 100 view height, and anything scrolled pass down the 100vh. isnt covered by my background color. How can i fix this?
&__container {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-color: rgba($color: #13182c, $alpha: 0.7);
height: 100vh;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
You should post your full code.
But your posted image looks like that page is scrolled down a bit (the nav items behind the overlay are cut off). You are using position: absolute, which moves along with the next higher relatively positioned element, or - if there is none - with the body. This would explain the problem. Body is scrolled , overlay moves along, but is only as high as the window, but since the body is higher, there's some space below the overlay...
To fix that, try to use position: fixed instead of position: absolute. In that case the overlay position will relate to the viewport itself (i.e. the window).
You can try position: relative, once you want full cover. Also you can can set background-size = cover. Just tweak width.
I have been trying to set my footer in my web for a while with no luck..
The footer sticking to the bottom of the screen, and if there is scroll-bar, so when I scroll down, it will slide up...
I want it to stick to the bottom but not like position: fixed (if there is scroll-bar, then I don't want to see the footer until I scroll to the bottom).
There is 3 main components in my web (header, content and footer).
This is the footer css:
background: #929191;
border-top: 1px black solid;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
I have tryed changing html and body to "height: 100%" but the only thing that was almost like I wished for, was when it made the height bigger than the screen.
It was like height: 110% (even though the sum of heights was 100%).
I Tryed to reduce it, until I fit but it every little change in the UI make troubles.
I would very appreciate any help..
Sounds like you are looking for <footer>. Keep in mind it won't work in early versions of Internet Explorer. Here is some more information. Let me know if this works out.
Try this on your footer -
.footer {
position: relative;
bottom: -500px; // you can adjust the negative value
}
I would like to align div inside parent div to center horizontally for div with unknown width and dynamic content (will wary from use case to use case.
I have read that margin: auto; usually is usually solution here, but it requires set of width which is unknown for me compile-time. text-align: center does't work for div inside parent div.
Fiddle example
Here is a Fiddle example.
My two questions
I would like the three circles to be aligned to the middle. Number of circles can vary from zero to many.
Another related questions is how I can make the progress bar have a minimum width (for instance when having only one, two or three steps) and strech to right and left when adding more steps? Here is (very bad) illustration in Paint.
As a note I would like this to work for IE 8 as well.
Do you want something like this? DEMO
.progressbar{
top: 0;
position: fixed;
background-color: #00bbee;
width: 100%;
height: 45px;
left: 0;
text-align:center // added this line for centering the content
}
.steps {
display: inline-block; // and this line for auto-aligning center your child elements
}
Your first question can be solved by applying
text-align: center to the top wrapper and changing the display of the steps wrapper to inline-block
Regarding the second question, I'm not sure that this is exactly what you meant - but it can be solved by moving the line out of the steps wrapper and positioning it at the vertical center of the whole bar using
position: absolute;
height: 2px;
margin-top: -1px;
top: 50%;
left: 0:
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
Example in this fiddle
note that I also changed your html because there was some unnecessary tags there
For IE8 support check out this question (the only problematic issue here is the use of inline-block
I've been trying to do something extremely simple, yet I can't make it work!
Here's what I'm trying:
---margin top: 15 px
---VARIABLE HEIGHT DIV (imagine a box-like element)
---margin bottom: 15px
I basically want the box to resize based on the browser window height.
Here's what I've been trying:
CSS
body {
background-color: #D0CDC5;
height:100%
}
#info_box {
background-color: rgba(40,40,40,0.5);
border: rgba(34,34,34,0.9) 1px solid;
width: 350px;
height: 100%;
margin: 15px 0px 15px 20px;
}
#info_box p {
color: red;
}
HTML
<body>
<div id="info_box">
<p>Sample Content</p>
</div>
</body>
By the way, why is that the text appears 15px from the top of the div? Why isn't it flush?
Thanks a lot guys,
**EDIT
See this link, very good answer for all browser but IE6 and 7. another HTML/CSS layout challenge

if you don't need to support IE6, and this is not part of a bigger layout, there is an easy way:
#info_box {
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 15px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 15px;
}
alternatively, you could make #info_box stretch the full height, and put a position: absolute div into it with the same data as above.
I'm not entirely sure whether there's a way to do this without absolute or fixed positioning, because no matter whether you use padding or margin, you'll always end up adding 30 pixels to what is already 100% of the height. I'm happy to be proven wrong though.
Elements get their height based on the content inside them. So you already have an element that is centered and that will have margin top and bottom of 15px from the top and bottom of you site's body.
But if you want an element that will always be centered middle of screen, filling all but 15px top and 15px bottom, it is not achievable with "conventional" means. It will either have to be an image or a re-sizable box that will have a scroll-bar if the content is bigger than screen size.
Anyways, if that is what you want, give it a fixed size and height, and use position:fixed.
If you always use a consistent browser resolution, then it is doable. But if your screen size changes, depending on the device you use (tablet, mobile etc.), then this cannot be accomplished though CSS alone.
I have done this dynamically using jQuery.
Heyo, I'm using a 2000px width image as a background for a 960px width webpage. I am trying to make it so it doesn't show a horizontal scrollbar when a part of the image is to the right of what's visible, but what I'm trying to do is not working for me.
Two IDs are involved. One is 'bg' which has the background image as its background and is positioned where I want it, while the other is 'bg_holder' which contains only 'bg' and which I tried to use to neatly cover the visible web page area and hide its overflow so the part of the background image that is jutting out wouldn't cause a scrollbar. But this does not appear work, as a scrollbar is created when there is a part of the image to the right of the visible web page (but not when it's to the left).
Is there anything wrong with this CSS snippet? Could something outside of this snippet be the source of the problem? Is there another approach I can take?
#bg_holder {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 960px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
#bg {
background: url(../img/bg.jpg);
position: absolute;
height: 1050px;
width: 2000px;
margin-left: -1366px;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
}
To answer your question, by positioning #bg absolutely, you take it out of the document flow / out of it's parent element, so the overflow:hidden has no effect.
As an additional comment, you can position the background image exactly where you want (x, y) when you put it directly in #bg_holder, there doesn't seem to be any need to put the background in a separate div. As far as I can tell at least, but I haven't seen the rest of your code and don't know what you want to achieve exactly.
