I am having a problem with my footer. I have a page with some content and on some devices (like mobile - in zoomed out view), my page content does not fill parent device height while on some devices, it does.
The footer is creating a problem with these different heights. When the content doesn't fill the parent device height, the footer is shown correctly at the bottom of the page but when the content fills the parent device height and overflows, the footer is shown over the content.
Footer with content not filling Parent height (shows correctly)
Footer with overflown content (doesn't show correctly)
Picture quality is not that clear but the issue is clearly visible.
This is the CSS code I have been using till now.
#footer{
display:block;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
height:100px;
width: 60%;
text-align:center;
color:green;
font-size:18px;
font-family:Times;
}
How can this be fixed? I want to show the footer at the end of the page when content is overflown.
on your #main element right before the footer (assuming you are using id="main" for the item with the green border, do the following:
#main {
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
EDIT:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
#wrapper {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 110px;
}
whenever you position something absolute you take it outside of the DOM, meaning in this case it sits bottom 0 (based on your css) to the the nearest relatively positioned element. I put the footer html after your wrap or content block and just have it centered by saying
margin 0 auto;
If you need the footer to be absolutely positioned, you could always add a margin-bottom or padding-bottom to the body element. Just make it the 100px of your absolutely positioned element and it should force the content above your positioned element.
Alternatively, you could just set the footer to be positioned static, but you'll lose the ability for the footer to be at the bottom of the screen when your content is too short.

In a page I work on I have a div that contains an animation with changing images (with CSS) and below it is a wrapper div for the content, like that:
<div id="animation">
<img ...>
...
<img ...>
</div>
<div id="content">
Some content
</div>
I've tried different methods: floats, clear, position, but I cannot make the content div to stay where it should, below the animation div - it overlaps it. The only solutions I found to partially work are to give the first div the height of the images (they all have equal width and height), but when I do that it breaks on different resolutions, or to give the images height of 100% and apply the above, but then the images look incredibly ugly on different resolutions.
How can I achieve my goal, preferably using CSS only?
Edit: JSFiddle
Edit 2: I used this tutorial for the changing images.
the problem is that you have all the content in the top div as position:absolute. That way, the top div doesn't know how high it needs to be (i.e. it will be 0px high).
So the solution is to have one img not positioned; then the div is as high as this img and the content div will move down below it.
#cf4a img {
position: absolute;
left:0; top:0;
width: 100%;
}
#cf4a img:first-child { /* one non-positioned child */
position: static;
}

Have a look at, http://thomaspalumbo.com
I have this CSS for my website's container:
.graybox {
padding: 0 30px 30px 30px;
background: #ededed;
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
}
Then I have a container on top of that to center that info.
The .graybox container spreads the width of the page like I want but now my footer div is hidden, according to firebug is it actually behind? And up on the page?
Is there a fix for this?
While I'm here can anyone explain the white space on the right side of the page. It comes into effect once the page is resized smaller.
You can use the CSS z-index property to make sure your footer is in front of the content. Z-index only works when the element is positioned though. So make sure you add position:relative to your footer
#footer{
position:relative;
z-index:999;
}

EDIT
Just checked out the code of your website, and I don't understand why your graybox is positioned absolutely, this will only make things more complex. The same goes for your menu, why position it absolute, why not just add it in the right order in the HTML in the first place?
EDIT
If you want to center your content but with a background that has a 100% width then you can simply add a container div like so:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div>lorem ipsum....</div>
</div>
CSS
.container{
background:red;
}
.container div{
width:400px;
margin:0 auto;
background:yellow;
}
See JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/HxBnF/
Currently you cannot do this because you have a container which you set at 980px, don't ever do that unless you are sure you don't want anything to wrap over it, like in this case the background of a div in that container.
in the div style, just assign a z-index value greater than any other z-index such as
.divClass{
position: absolute;
z-index: 1 //if other elements are still visible chose a higher value such as 20 or even higher.
}
I've been working on a website with a pretty standard layout, header, content, footer, each being a DIV with a 900px width inside of a page-wide DIV, just like the one described in this question:
Full width background, without a wrapper
Now the problem itself is that whenever the browser window becomes less wide than the specified DIV width (900px) the background of the wrapper seems to disappear, showing the background color of the website itself. This also happens while using the code in the aforementioned question.
This is the CSS code:
#headerwrapper {
height: 229px;
background: url(imagenes/header.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;}
#header {
width:900px;
height:229px;
padding:0px;
margin:0 auto;
}
And this one is the HTML code:
<div id="headerwrapper">
<div id="header">
Content goes here.
</div>
</div>
Any suggestions are appreciated.
you probably can't see the background in the scrollarea. You need to set min-width: 900px; or max-width: 900px; so that the background will be shown in the scrollarea.
If you do not specify width for the #headerwrapper, browser makes it 100% of parent container (div or body). So if width of view area is less than 900px - #header becomes wider than #headerwrapper, so background is not showed for overlapped part. You may add overflow:auto; to #headerwrapper so scrollbars will appear, but i do not think that is a solution. So it is better to add background for the #header or add min-width for #headerwrapper.
P.S. Specifying
min-width:900px;
width:auto !important;
for #headerwrapper should do the trick.
I have a centered wrapper with following CSS:
div.wrapper {
width: 1170px;
padding-left:30px;
margin-top: 80px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position:relative;
background-color:black; }
inside i have a div with following css:
position:absolute;
top:-26px;
left:517px;
height:63px;
z-index:3;
inside of this div is an image which has 759px width, that makes the wrapper grow larger and makes the browser show a v-scrollbar on lower display resolutions.
what i want is to make the image go outside the wrapper but prevent the browser from showing the scrollbar, so that the right side of the image is only shown if your browser window is large enough and the wrapper keeps its 1200px width. i can't make it a background image because it goes over some of the other content.
something that is compatible with >= IE7 would be nice.
i uploaded a pic of the page to show what i mean:
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6070/hpx.jpg
the blue box is the wrapper, it has 1200px width and is ALWAYS centered in the window (unless then window is smaller than 1200px, then it scrolls)
the red box is the image (the green bar is not part of it)
You can set overflow: hidden to the wrapper so that content that exceeds the dimensions of wrapper will not be shown.
see overflow
You are looking for #your_div { overflow: hidden; }, if you want your content to be hidden. Or #your_div { overflow: visible; } if you want your content visible outside the div.
The only method that springs to mind given your requirements is to move the inner element out of that wrapper div and position it in relation to the entire window:
<body>
<div class="abs">the div with the image</div>
<div class="wrapper">the wrapper div</div>
</body>
Unfortunately, this probably means you can't position it very well. You may need to use Javascript to get the width/height of the page and/or the position of the wrapper div, and calculate the offset accordingly. (You'll find questions on Stack Overflow for these bits.)
The problem lies with the img being inline. Not tested but you should 'display:block' the image and then float it or absolutely position it.
I'm braindead on this and I know it's simple.
There's a header div, appears fine. There's a left-sidebar div, appears fine with top snuggled up to header div.
Then there's a main content div. There is an image and h1 which appear like you would expect up against the header div, but then a large gap appears until the navigation (in a nested div). Navigation is correctly in the main content div, but top of this div always aligns with bottom of sidebar content.
I've tried mixtures of clear:left and both and floating and whatnot. If inside the html I move the sidebar div below the main content div then the main content has no gap but the sidebar has a big top gap and appears flush to the bottom of where the main content nav ends.
What am I missing here, thanks in advance!
Are you setting any widths (or padding, margin, border) which might make your problematic div too wide to fit?
Remember that if you are doing something like :
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid;
Then your element will take up 100% width + 2 pixels.
It sounds like you have your sidebar occuring first in the source order.
If you have the two divs (sidebar, main) floated in different directions, then look at the width avaiable they are sharing. Reduce the width of one div (you should have width set on your floats) until their combine width, including padding, margin, borders fits in available space. (I will only use width in my example for brevity).
When this effect happens, in my experience, the one occurring later in the source order is the one that gets prevent from sliding up into it's spot by too much width.
<div id="container">
<div id="header">head</div>
<div id="sidebar">side</div>
<div id="mainContent">main</div>
</div>
Width of #sidebar & #mainContent too wide (#mainContent gets bumped down):
#container{
**width:950px;**
margin:0 auto;
background:blue;
}
#mainContent{
float:right;
**width:651px;**
background:red;
}
#sidebar{
float:left;
**width:301px;**
background:green;
}
Width of #sidebar & #mainContent fit inside container:
#container{
**width:950px;**
margin:0 auto;
background:blue;
}
#mainContent{
float:right;
**width:650px;**
background:red;
}
#sidebar{
float:left;
**width:300px;**
background:green;
}
btw...if you floated the two elements in the same direction, but their combined width is too wide, the last one in the source order would fit underneath the above floated element.
Does your h1 or img have a top margin? It will stick out of the top of the mainContent div and push it down.
