div position in differents screens - css

I have a problem in my web design assigment.
I can't make my 4 divs appear in a specific location in the screen.
Also need to mention that all of the 4 divs need to be overlap so I used z-index. But when I run my site on different screens the position always change although I used percents.
This is my css code (welcome, register, login, game are my div classes):
.welcome
{
position:absolute;
top:28%;
right:9%;
width:960px;
height:660px;
z-index: 3;
}
.register
{
position:absolute;
top:28%;
right:9%;
width:960px;
height:660px;
z-index: 2;
}
.Login
{
position:absolute;
top:28%;
right:9%;
width:960px;
height:660px;
z-index: 1;
}
.game
{
position:absolute;
top:28%;
right:9%;
width:960px;
height:660px;
z-index: 0;
}

The problem is that top and left properties only work for elements if these elements' (doesn't have to be direct) parent position is set to relative.
So you can either set body { position: relative;} or create a wrapper div around your 4 divs and set its position to relative.
Here is a fiddle with the code you need; you can position the elements however you wish, and the divs' margins will always be screensize-adapted.

Note: I changed the width/ height properties a bit (divided by 3) to make them fit the screen.
PS: If many elements have the same properties, you're better off specifying them in one class. That's why I added a class .common in the fiddle.

It doesn't matter if you use percent in top and right, because the 28% of top in 1200px monitor and 960px height monitor is not the same. You must add the four divs inside a div. Create a div as a wrapper and it will work same on all the monitors. Because it doesn't matter the size of the screen the top and right values are the same.

Responsive case (relative/absolute units - element size)

<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
div {
width:10vw;
height:10vh;
}
Is there any way to set this div that will be 10% of the full available window ? (When the window browser cover all the screen).
Last time I did it with script in JS but I believe nobody does this and only use css.
Instead I can use px but even with media queries I won't know how it will looks like in other screens.
Anoher option: Using max/min-height/width, but still I don't know what value I need to set from avoiding from the div shrinking (every screen is different px) or just let the div shink to some point - but either at this way I don't know how it will look on other screens.
Thanks.
By specifying the min-height and max-width, you'll be able to control its size.
div {
max-width: 10vw;
min-height: 10vh;
}
Empty div elements have a height of 0 by default so the min-height keeps it from shrinking to nothing.
div elements are also display: block; by default, which means the width is 100% of the containing element. Defining the max-width will restrict that dimension of the div.
You should use max-height/min-height/width in percentages.
div {
width:10%;
max-height:10%;
min-height:10%;
position: fixed;
border:1px solid blue;
}

Css :before add text on top without affecting div height

I am trying to mark some div.ad containers with a label on the top so that visitors to a website knows that the container contains ads.
However, sometimes ads might not be served, and the container will have an height of 0px. So that it does not affect the view of the page.
I tried this:
.ad:before {
content: "This is an ad";
display:block;
font-size:10px;
}
However, this ads about 10-12 px to the container no matter if it has content or not. So when the .ad container is 0px, its still renders the :before.
I also tried:
.ad:before {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
content: "This is an ad";
}
That works to a point. It does not show when the .ad container is 0px high, but when it actually contains and ad, the ad is rendered over the text. Is there any way to implement that last solution, in such a fassion that it is only shown when the .ad container is larger than 0px of height, and so that it pushes the content of .ad down the same amount of px as the content I add to the :before?
you can use z-index to insure that the pseudo element always appear on top of anything inside .ad container. this will require setting the content to z-index that is lower than the pseudo element like that:
.ad:before {
position: absolute;
top:-14px;
left:0;
font-size:14px;
content: "This is an ad";
z-index:2;
}
.ad,.ad * {
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
working fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/35gh307r/
You can just add some padding-top to the .ad container, this way even if there is no content the container will still have the same padding.

Define the height of div box (bottom) vs different resolutions

I have a problem with setting the appropriate text to the slider. I want the text to appear on the bottom right of the page. Only problem is the different resolutions (tablet, laptop, 24'' monitor).
Testing page: http://tinyurl.com/d825kuv
code:
div {
position:relative;
float:right;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
to move an element to the bottom of a <div>, set the parent <div>'s position to relative: position:relative, then the <div> you want to be placed at the bottom should have CSS
div {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right:0;
}
then just adjust the pixel values to suit your layout.
Do:
position:absolute;
right:0px;
bottom:0px;
This will make sure that the element in question will be as far right, and as far down within the parent as possible. Of course if you wanted to pad it from the right/bottom just take the pixels up a notch. Note that position:absolute only works if the parent's position is not set as default. If in doubt give your parent the following style:
position:relative;

Positiong of div with inherited DIV for jqDock driving me insane

I have this problem that is driving me mad... I've been struggling with it for hours but can't figure out how to over come it.
I am using jqDock and want to place a toolbar in a "box" in a column. There is quite a lot of code included but you can see a sample here: http://ag.wasen.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=2&Itemid=17
Look at "Simple File Lister v2.0 #2" in the right hand side column where the toolbar is perfectly place. Then look at the left hand side where the toolbar goes vertical and is completely off track.
These two modules (as they are called in Joomla) is using the exact same code!
The difference between these two modules, the left one and the right is that the left one inherits a lot of CSS from the "div" statements in the left column.
The problem seems to be with the inherited "width" from a previously loaded CSS file. If I look at it in FireBug and remove the declaration for #leftcolumn div {width: 191px;} in FireBug the toolbar on the left is working fine.
I have tried to insert my own "width" on all different DIV's and using "!important" but even if FireBug shows the "#leftcolumn div" as stiked-out it still affects my toolbar DIV.
Regardless of how I have tried to "nullify" the inherited "#leftcolumn div" width it still affects my DIV.
Any clues on how I would be rid of it?

Anders
Try the below css - Paste this in you template.css file and try to set the width if required on different selectors.
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div, #main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div .jqDocked div {
width: 20px;
}
see below image for output: Open the image in new window so you can see clearly.
Problem 1. You are trying to fit a horizontal Dock that has a maximum expanded width of 263px (7 48x48 icons) into a column that is only 191px wide: the Dock is going to overflow!
Problem 2. The template you are using is setting a specific width of 191px on any div more than 1 level below the div.module child of div#leftcolumn. Additionally, your template is specifiying both width and padding on some elements, which is going to cause cross-browser inconsistency and also makes some of the elements extend beyond the bounds of the column.
Since jqDock does not provide many ids on elements, the rules needed in order to override your template are going to have to be at least as 'specific' as the template's, if not more so.
For example, replace your page's rules for...
.sflpage {...}
.sflmenu {...}
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div,
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div {...}
with...
/*position the Dock's container, ensuring it's visible, and killing
the padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.sflpage {
padding: 0pt;
position: relative;
top: -20px;
width: auto;
z-index: 9999;
}
/*put the Dock in the center of its container, and give it plenty
of width for a fully-expanded Dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
padding: 0px 0pt;
position: absolute;
top: 0pt;
width: 300px;
}
/*kill the width and padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked div {
width: auto;
padding: 0;
}
/*center the dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockWrap {
margin: 0pt auto;
}
/*use this to set/tweak the label's styling...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockLabelText {
}
I would also suggest that you need more horizontal space for the Dock (ie. between the module header and the file list), that your labels need better styling so that are visible and readable.

CSS: Center a float:left element based on screen width?

I have to use a float div (the main window of my application), and I'd like to center that floated DIV based on the client's screen width. How can I accomplish that?
Right now I'm using a left:20% but that's not always centered depending on the user's screen resolution
Do you want the div to grow relative to the browser window, or to fit the content inside of it?
If the former, you can just use a percentage based width rather than pixel, and it should still center.
If the latter, don't use a float...start by setting width:auto; (I think that should make it auto-expand to fit content). Then you will need some javascript to measure the width of the DIV, set the width: css property in pixels, then measure the browser window, and center the container based on these measurements.
Sorry, I was wrong about width:auto;. I guess just float it, and then use javascript like I described above to manually set the margin-right and margin-left.
Sorry, thought up a better solution.
#float {
float:left;
margin-left:50%;
position:relative;
}
And then, using jquery,
$(document).ready(function() {
var float_width = $('#float').width();
var left_spacing = float_width / 2;
$('#float').css('left', '-' + left_spacing);
});
Forgive me if my javascript is off or doesn't quite work...I didn't test it and I'm a JS noob :)
You can try to use
.mainWindow {
margin: 0 auto;
}
then make sure the parent element is text-align: center;
I usually use an auto centered container div and then put any other containers (like your floated div) inside that container. Is there any particular reason you can't do that?
Example CSS:
#container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
My solution is easy with css
.div{
position: absolute;
top: calc(50vw);
left: calc(50vw);
}
is code clean
