I'm struggling with working out how to get this to work.
I have an image inside a wide-header div. It's a responsive header, so the image is set to width:100% to make the banner resize to the size of it's container.
Problem is, the image needs to sit full width, but the container has a 10px margin on either side.
The HTML cannot change as it's CMS based. The banner must sit inside region-content with it's margin of 10px either side
I have successfully managed to push the image to the left most edge by using a position:relative on the image and placing it left:-10px to counter the left side gap.
Problem I am having is doing the same on the opposite side, as I cannot extend the width. The banner needs to be 20px wider... but it's set as a percentage based width so simply adding 20px doesn't work.
Essentially I need to work out how to get this to work as 100% + 20px.
It's for mobile so border-box:box-sizing could be used, but I cannot utilise this correctly, though I am sure a solution may require it.

#wide-header img {

Another way is to do the following (although you might have to look at your other content inside the #wide-header)
position:relative;
left:-10px;
to
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
I have updated your fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/zr8xp/3/
If you want increase the width more than 100%. Try width:105%; see this editted fiddle its the same as 100% + 20px
width:105%;
If you are not bothered about old versions of IE you can try this way:
width: calc(100% + 20px);

I update your jsfidle by adding some css modifications:
link: http://jsfiddle.net/zr8xp/8/
CSS:
body{margin:0 auto;}
#region-content{
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
outline:1px solid red;
}
#wider-header{
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 300px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #333;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
#wide-header img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1300px;
position:relative;
}
HTML:
<div id="region-content">
<div class="content">
<!-- HEADER IMAGE -->
<div id="wide-header">
<img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02474/cat-eyebrows-1_2474686k.jpg" width="1400" height="475" alt="">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Try this:
#wide-header img {
height: auto;
margin: 0 -10px;
max-width: 1300px;
}
Another approach worth considering is using a background image instead. E.g.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style media="all">
body{margin:0 auto;
background-image: url(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02474/cat-eyebrows-1_2474686k.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 0;
}
#region-content{
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
outline:1px solid red;
min-height: 600px;
}
#wider-header{
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 300px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #333;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="region-content">
<div class="content">
<div id="wide-header">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I did this by putting my img in a DIV and set the div style: float:right;width:0px;overflow:visible;
This created the image to the right of main content div, outside of the width of my header and other content.

I am very new to web design, so I might be completely over my head here.. but I can not seem to figure out how to work this. I have an image inside my first div, underneath this I want to have to more divs with the background colors in which I will add content. But for some reason my divs are not adjusting with the browser. Everytime I adjust the browser to be smaller, the divs backgrounds are separating and a white space is coming in between them.
Any help would be highly appreciated.. Also any critical feedback on my obvious coding skills, would be highly appreciated.

I suggest you take a closer look at the code and strip out as much as you can to see what is actually necessary to get where you are going. Here is a fiddle with some cleaned up code that does what I think you are going for. Hopefully it helps.

<header class="container global-header">
<div class="inner-w">
<div class="large-logo-wrap">
<img src="http://placehold.it/400x300" />

-moz-box-sizing: border-box;

box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
.container { /* things the sections have in common */
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
.inner-w {
max-width: 700px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
padding: 1em;
border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.05); /* just so you can see */
/* by using an inner div in your container... you allow yourself to maintain a background-color across the whole page if you wish. If you don't want that, then you just style the inner div for each section with the background color */
}
.global-header {
background-color: lightblue;
text-align: center; /* centers inline, and inline-block elements (logo) */
}
.large-logo-wrap {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 8em; /* set max image size */
}
.large-logo-wrap img { /* responsive image */
display: block;
width: 100%; /* fits whatever you set the wrapper to */
height: auto;
}
.section01 { /* arbitray section */
background-color: rgb(229,225,209);
color: rgb(0,0,0);
min-height: 234px; /* if you absolutly must - choose a height... use min */
}
.section02 { /* arbitray section */
background-color: rgb(29,25,29);
color: rgb(229,225,209);
min-height: 346px; /* if you absolutly must - choose a height... use min */
}
Please change your css with this one:
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.container{
width:100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.header{
width:100%;
height:768px;
background-image: url('Assets/header.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.large-logo-wrap {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 700px;
}
.middle{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 700px;
background-color: rgb(229,225,209);
}
.end{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 700px;
background-color: rgb(29,25,29);
}
Some of your css styles were wrong, for example you used width and height with %100 which is wrong and effects on all of your css styles.
Also, you used position:absolute for all of div which effects on div to be nonadjustable.
I am a novice in web developing. My container div is set to margin: 0 auto; position: relative; and it is displayed in the middle of the screen. I have a banner div within the container which has some background color which I want to extend the whole width of the screen. I decided to use another div outside the containerdiv with same background color and height of my banner div and named it header. But how can I put them one over another, more precisely, the container div over the header div?
EDIT:
Some of the html:
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="banner">
<img src="images/banner.gif" width="450" height="80" alt="parul library" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
The CSS:
#container{
position:relative;
top:0;
width: 968px;
background:#FFF;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#header {
position:absolute;
top:0;
height: 80px;
background: rgb(222,239,255); /* Old browsers */
}
Try using this CSS for the header div:
.header {
background: #bada55;
height: 90px;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
}
And make sure container has position: relative; in its style definition.
Here's a working demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/rkJMJ/
Update for the HTML and CSS posted in the question:
(Added width: 100; to the #header style def)
#container{
position:relative;
top:0;
width: 968px;
background:#FFF;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#header {
position:absolute;
top:0;
height: 80px;
width: 100%;
background: rgb(222,239,255); /* Old browsers */
}
Here's a simple puzzle that's been frustrating me for a while today:
Consider this page markup:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { overflow: hidden; }
#content { width: 750px; height: 100px; background: orange; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">Foo bar</div>
</div>
</body>
How can I get div#content centered in the page regardless of viewport width?
I've tried a variety of tricks (including text-align: center; display: inline-block;) and absolute positioning, but with all of them the div#content is left-aligned when the browser window is brought under 750px in width.
I've seen a few high-profile websites do this in the past. For example on Apple.com when they advertised the new retina iPad: the iPad pictured was a very wide image that extended past the main page area (note it was not a CSS background image of the <body> element), but it didn't cause scrolling when the browser window only fit the main page content. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any existing sites that do this so I can't find a reference.
Thanks.

Is that what you're looking for?
Add margin: auto to this,
#content { width: 750px; height: 100px; background: orange; margin: auto}
I'm trying to make some decoration outside the main content div,
that would be getting hidden if the window size is small.
I thought for a while and came up with the following markup, (you can copy paste and see it),
and that's best I could think of right now. The problem however is that because I used percentage margins, the decoration gets unstable and shaky while resizing, and sometimes is even stepping on the content div.
Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
div.content {
display: block;
width: 958px;
height: 400px;
background-color: #CCC;
margin: 0px auto;
}
div.wrap {
margin: 0px auto;
min-width: 958px;
max-width: 1058px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
background-image: url(http://www.ephotobay.com/image/ooo-ml.png);
background-position: center;
}
div.left, div.right {
background-image: url(http://www.laserpros.com/images/site/HP_Circle_Logo_Vector1_small.jpg);
width: 50px;
display: block;
height: 50px;
bottom: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
div.left {
right: 479px;
margin-right: 50%;
}
div.right {
left: 479px;
margin-left: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="content">
<-- Content
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So, could you recommend guys for some other way around without using percentage margins, to make it more flexible..? Thanks!
EDIT:
This is what happens in Google Chrome on resize:
As the browser has to re-calculate the margins based on the parent's width changes, this is kind of expected behaviour.
If you want to keep content centralized on the screen without playing with max-width, min-width and margins as percentage, and there won't be any element that should be affected by the .wrap position in the document flow, you could do something like this:
div.wrap {
width: 1058px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
margin-left: -529px; /* 1058/2 * -1 */
background-image: url(http://www.ephotobay.com/image/ooo-ml.png);
background-position: center;
}
This will centralize the content horizontally in every situation.
Hope it helps.
Clear your floats:
<div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

I am having an issue where the background color is behaving unexpectedly when the viewport is shrunk to a size smaller than that specified for some of my elements. While the scroll bars appear correctly the background is not what I would expect. When the viewport is as large or larger the backgrounds behave as intended. When inspecting the page elements with Firebug it seems that the body element is not stretching even though content inside of it is. What's causing the backgrounds to behave this way?
I've provided what I believe to be the pertinent html and CSS, but if I've omitted something please let me know.

The reason you're seeing this behaviour is because your width: 100% elements are only taking the viewport width as the amount of background they need to render.
You can fix it by adding a min-width declaration to your body element's CSS. Simply set it to the largest nested element's width:
body {
min-width: 730px;
background: #55688A url("../images/backgrounds/ns_bg.gif") repeat-x scroll 0 0;
}
min-width is not supported in IE so use the expression
body {
min-width: 730px;
background: #55688A url("../images/backgrounds/ns_bg.gif") repeat-x scroll 0 0;
/* IE Version */
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 730 ? "728px" : "auto" );
}
