parent container => flexible width(width depends on browser window)
child div => fixed width of 900px (inside parent)
My requirement is
if width of parent is more than 900 then align child div in center
if width of parent is less than 900 then align child div to the right. Hence left portion will be truncated.
Is there any pure css solution?
I fiddled it a little.
you basically need this, am I right?
#parent{
background-color: blue;
overflow: hidden;
direction:rtl;
}
.child{
width:900px;
float:right;
margin: 0 auto;
direction:ltr;
}
So direction to align the divs without making the child div float to the walls, and another direction inside child to not mess up the contents inside. margin: 0 auto; to center the div and overflow:hidden to truncate.
EDIT: Try it now.
you can try with media query..
For example:
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 900px) {
.div { margin: 0px auto }
}
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 900px) {
.div { float: left; }
}
You can try to combine css with that...
parent {direction:rtl}
child {direction:ltr;}
Basicly, overflow will scroll from right to left or will hide left side if hidden;

Have you looked into using media queries?
You'll just want to make sure they're supported in all the browsers you're targeting.

I have few divs on my page, which serve as a containers. Here is a sample CSS code of one of the divs:
header {
background-color: #fff;
height: 153px;
width: 97%;
min-width: 1084.06px;
margin: 15px auto;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
border-radius: 20px;
}
This is a centered container for my header. There are several other containers which I have styled simillar way (absolute, centered and width in %).
Problem is, when I resize the window, all these containers hit the left side of the browser window. I want to save some margin on particular window width. How can I achieve that?
P.S. If I add margin-left it breaks my center position of the div
You can use media queries, media queries are only applied on specific conditions, such as a specific width.
For example the following background-color rule won't apply for screens wider than 480px:
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
body {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
}
For more info about media queries see this w3schools page
Add another margin-right
then straighten it out depending on what you use
I am trying to centre the nav-bar links. But sadly i haven't had much luck so far. I've tried to use navbar-justified but that just throws every thing out of proportion.
here is the code.
I assume you wanted to center everything to the center. The easiest way is to use display: inline-block and then text-align: center on the parent element. Then also reset float to use the default aligment:
See you updated demo: http://www.bootply.com/iu9NOXfmEV
Make the container inline-block to get the width of the content, and align the navbar elements. To get rid of the gap underneath use vertical-align: top.
To avoid changes when collapsed add media query:
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.navbar {
text-align:center;
}
.navbar .container-fluid {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
}
You can see here
I have a fixed top navbar in Twitter Bootstrap 3.
Everything works good until 1350px. After 1350px there becomes a gap between navbar contents. So I want to center my navbar.
I checked answers on this, this and this. None of them worked for me.
This is my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mcqHE/56/
Currently I use Navbar 1.
To try centering navbar, I added Navbar 2 to the fiddle.
Check fiddle in 1500px width.
* Navbar 1 is one line, not centered and has gap.
* Navbar 2 is centered, no gap, but it is two lined.
It seems like the cause is this rule: #media (min-width: 1200px) .container { max-width: 1170px; }
So how can I make navbar centered, and one line if width is bigger than 1350px ?
This is an aswer for your problem:-)
You need to add follow lines to css:
#media screen and (min-width: 1350px) {
.navbar { text-align: center; }
.navbar-header { display: inline-block; float: none !important; }
.navbar-collapse.collapse { display: inline-block !important; }
}
Here is solution on: http://jsfiddle.net/myN2s/ .
Let me know if you solve this.
Everytime when you want to center elements, you need to add text-align:center to the parent element, and display: inline-block to elements which you want to center horizontally. None of these can be floated (this is very important).
This fix wil affect all styles on your page. But I guess it is what you are asking for, there was not enough space to put in on one line.
http://jsfiddle.net/mcqHE/58/
* {
font-size:10px;
}
Although the below answer covered most of it, I noticed the menus are still not in one-line, here are the following change I've made:
1) Yes, it's the width that's creating the two-gaps but the major culprit is the .container. So remove the <div> with the class .container
2) Add this CSS to keep your menu items centered:
.navbar-inner { text-align: center; }
3) Lastly this:
.collapse.navbar-collapse.in{ display: inline-block !important; }
Binds the two <ul> elements together.
Additional:
If you want the heading 'Navbar' to be centered too, you can do:
.navbar-header { float: none; }
Here's the JSFiddle.
And it's effect on a resolution > 1350px.
for navbar 1 add the following css to this div div class="navbar-collapse navbar-part2 collapse
max-width: 1350px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max width will make sure the nav part wont go wider than 1350px
margin-left:auto and margin-right:auto will center the nav.
I think this is what you're after? if not sorry!
I am creating a design for my site using a recently downloaded bootstrap
I tried with row and span12 layout the container div is not centering to my screen. I'm using 58cm LED Monitor(its not looking centered).
The DIV width is showing 1170px(Firebug) its suppose to be 940px.
Please Check my design here http://rentbbsr.com/projects/daycare/
It suppose to be like this http://rentbbsr.com/projects/daycare/daycare.jpeg
I just want the header to be fixed and centered.
There are a bunch of reasons. You have negative left margin on the row:
#media (min-width: 1200px)
.row {
margin-left: -30px;
}
}
.row {
margin-left: -20px;
}
Then you have another margin on the span:
#media (min-width: 1200px)
[class*="span"] {
float: left;
min-height: 1px;
margin-left: 30px;
}
class*="span"] {
float: left;
min-height: 1px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
Then your container that you centered is wider than the contents. As it is wider, it centres that element, but it has a empty area. If you set it to the width of whatever you want to center, such as the tree graphic or the menu below, it will actually be centred.
In this case i set it to the width of the top graphic:
.container, .navbar-static-top .container, .navbar-fixed-top .container, .navbar-fixed-bottom .container {
width: 988px;
}
Remember to also set it in the media query.
So in summary, your wrapper elements are wider than the contents, and you have various margins all over the place, which adjust the width even more. If you remove those and set the correct width it will center as expected.
What I am trying to do is, putting two divs in one line, the left div's width is fixed and the right one, gets resized when the browser is resized (achieved already). What I want to achieve is, set a resize limit for the right div, that is, the right div width decreases until the width is greater or equal to n px. after that the browser horizontal scroll.
(The reason for this is I have got a jquery tab on the right div with like 5 tabs, when I resize the browser the tabs jumps off on button of each other, hence I want to stop the right div to shrink until the last tab).
here is my code so far:
<div style="float: left; width: 300px; margin-right: 10px; ">
</div>
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
</div>
Please let me know if there is a better way of putting two div in one line (left width fixed and right resizable with limit).
Cheers,
You'll either be looking at min-width/max-width, or #media
For min-width just give a class or id to div2 and set min-width
#div2{
min-width:900px;
}
For control on different screen sizes use #media and set max/min widths.
#media only screen and (max-width: 499px) {
/* rules that only apply for canvases narrower than 500px */
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 500px) {
/* rules that only apply for canvases wider than 500px */
}

Try:
<div class='left'></div>
<div class='right'></div>
<styles>
.left {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
width: 300px;
}
.right {
float: left;
max-width: 300px;
overflow-x: auto;
}
</styles>
