I'm really working hard on this thing but I can't figure out how to create this through CSS.
Basically on this website here I'm trying to add images to go outside of the main-content background as you can see on this image below. Where it says "Lattest Lessons" (sorry for the typo) or where it says Receive our newsletter.
Does anybody have a club? I'm lost!
Here is some code:
.main-content {
position:relative;
z-index:100;
padding:1em 0 8.5em 0;
background:#fff;
}
.main-content p {
color:#555;
}
.site-wrap {
position:relative;
min-height:100%;
}
What I would recommend doing is creating a div in the background that looks like this:
HTML:
<div id="backgrounddiv">
</div>
So the HTML is really easy. Don't put anything in those divs. Now for the CSS:
CSS:
#backgrounddiv {
length:100%; //spans length of page
width:100%; //spans width of page
z-index:1; //makes sure background is behind all the other objects
background-color: #000; //black background
position: absolute; //isn't affected or doesn't get affected by other elements
}
What you're likely looking for is positioning the element correctly. This can either be relative or absolute positioning based on your needs. In either case, ensure that the PARENT container is a positioned element (in your example it is: relative)
See this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/callseng/UUxqG/
The paragraph with class 'move-left' is housed inside of the main-content element, it is relatively positioned and then pushed to the left by 25px.
position:relative;
left: -25px;

Referring to this website – www.mrandmrsbutt.com – I'm trying to position the 'Upwaltham Barns' graphic at the bottom centre of the viewport, so no matter what size the viewport is the graphic will move with it and stay at the bottom.
I've tried adding the following custom CSS into my WordPress site, but it doesn't seem to work:
.fix{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:50%;
}
<img src="http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/banner-cta.png" class="fix"/>
Here is all my custom CSS at the moment:
#site-header.overlay-header{background-color:#fff;}
.menu-item a span:hover{color:#dfb5a9;}
#main-banner{
background-image:url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Top-Banner-Background.jpg);
background-size:cover;
background-position:center center;
height:100vh;
}
.centre{
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
#navigation-bar{
background-image:url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/navigation-background.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height:48px;
}
p{margin-bottom:10px;}
.paper-background{
background: #fff url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/white-background.jpg) repeat top left;
}
Can anyone help?
You don't want position: fixed;, you're on the right path using absolute.
The problem is that the parent divs of what you're targeting aren't all 100% height of the viewport. You've set the outer-most parent to height: 100vh;, but it really needs applying to the inner .vc_column_container container (as it's using bootstrap based styles, and BS columns get position relative) - so your down arrow and graphic are being positioned based on that.
Try something like this:
#main-banner .wpex-vc-columns-wrap .vc_column_container {
height: 100vh;
}
#main-banner .wpex-vc-columns-wrap .vc_inner::last-child {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
bottom: 2.5%;
}
That should get you closer to what you're aiming for, be sure to include all vendor prefixes with transform, however if you're using something like Autoprefixer or Bourbon you'll already have this covered...
There's some "custom" styles in there I'm guessing you've added from a page-builder that might mess the position of the graphic/arrow up, remove the unnecessary padding if it's bugging out.
Good luck with the wedding :-)
I think you need to change position:absolute to position:fixed in the .fix rule
.fix{
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
left:50%;
}
This should send your graphic to the bottom of the viewport and left there even scrolling. The horizontal center could be a bit tricky, but you could try to use a fixed container with left and right set to 0.
.fixed-container{
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
left:0;
right: 0;
}
The previous rule sets the container to the bottom of the viewport and extends horizontally.
img.centered {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
display: inline-block;
}
This rule is applied to the image to achieve centered alignment inside the container.
HTML code:
<div class="fixed-container">
<img class="centered" src="..image..." />
</div>
I think this should do the trick.
I'm busy with creating a website that preferably needs to have a background picture that covers the whole screen but when the visitor scrolls down other content appears.
So far I got this working with creating 2 div's (which I call #container_page1 and #container_page2). This is the css of the first div:
#container_page1 {
background-image:url(images/background.jpg);
background-size: cover;
position:absolute;
margin:0px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
This is the css of the second div:
#container_page2 {
background-color: #F00;
height: 2000px;
width: 1000px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
The problem is that the content of the second div appears underneath the first div, obviously caused by the fact that the first div is absolute positioned.
Of course I could get the content of the second div to be placed lower with margin or padding but this won't work nicely because of different screen resolutions.
Here you can see what I did so far: http://kmnew.kadushimarketing.com/index.php. You'll also see the "learn more" button that links to an anchor in the second div.
Does anyone has a suggestion to get the second div starting where the first div ends?
Wrap the two divs into one parent div. Then give that parent div an absolute position and position the two inner divs next to each other inside that div.
If you need each section to have it's own special background and be exactly the size of the browser, why do absolute position at all?
Using a style like:
body, html{
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
section{
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-image:url(images/background.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
Then positioning all your content divs relative, you should be able to maintain browser-sized background and let the sections stack in order.
If you want to control the position of the section contents you could use a structure like:
<section>
<div class="content">
Section content goes here
</div>
</section>
With corresponding CSS:
section .content{
width: 500px;
margin:0 auto;
}
Which would fix the content to a width of 500px and center it on the screen. Hope this helps!
Can background image extend beyond div's borders? Does overflow: visible apply to this?
No, a background can't go beyond the edge of an element.
The overflow style controls how the element reacts when the content is larger than the specified size of the element.
However, a floating element inside the div can extent outside the div, and that element could have a background. The usefulness of that is limited, though, as IE7 and earlier has a bug that causes the div to grow instead of letting the floating element show outside it.
Following up on kijin's advice, I'd like to share my solution for image offsets:
/**
* Only effective cross-browser method to offset image out of bounds of container AFAIK,
* is to set as background image on div and apply matching margin/padding offsets:
*/
#logo {
margin:-50px auto 0 auto;
padding:50px 0 0 0;
width:200px;
height:200px;
background:url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;
}
I used this example on a simple div element <div id="logo"></div> to position my logo with a -50px vertical offset. (Note that the combined margin/padding settings ensure you don't run into collapsing margin issues.)
not possible to set a background image 'outside' it's element,
BUT YOU CAN DO what you want with using 'PSEUDO' element and make that whatever size you want and position it wherever you want.
see here :
i have set the arrow outside the span
here is the code
HTML :
<div class="tooltip">
<input class="cf_inputbox required" maxlength="150" size="30" title id="text_13" name="name" type="text"><span class="msg">dasdasda</span>
</div>
strong text
.tooltip{position:relative; float:left;}
.tooltip .msg {font-size:12px;
background-color:#fff9ea;
border:2px #e1ca82 solid;
border-radius:5px;
background-position:left;
position:absolute;
padding:4px 5px 4px 10px;
top:0%; left:104%;
z-index:9000; position:absolute; max-width:250px;clear:both;
min-width:150px;}
.tooltip .msg:before {
background:url(tool_tip.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
content: " ";
display: block;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
left:-10px; top:1px;
width: 20px;
z-index: -1;
}
see here example: http://jsfiddle.net/568Zy/11/
No, the background won't extend beyond the borders. But you can stretch the border as far as you want using padding and some clever tweaking of negative margins & position.
I understand this is really really late, and I am not even sure if this is best practice but I found a little way to do this with my footer. My last section had a background image that I wanted to overflow into the footer and I fixed it with a few lines of CSS. Also added a little padding the section with the background image.
footer{
background-color: transparent!important;
top: -50px;
margin-bottom: -50px;
}
I tried using negative values for background-position but it didn't work (in firefox at least). There's not really any reason for it to. Just set the background image on one of the elements higher up in the hierarchy.
After a little bit of research: No and No :)
Two problems, both caused by IE7
www.myvintagesecret.com
1) I have a Div called .postheader that holds the title and another div called .clip . As you can see, the clip should hover over the content and not push it down. (use any other browser to test). Its currently giving me a huge gap when it should only go as long as the text does.
.postheader {
background:url(images/posthead.png) no-repeat;
min-height:100px;
max-height:600px;
padding-right:25px;
overflow:visible;
}
.clip {
width:214px;
height:275px;
float:right;
position:relative;
}
Any ideas? I can make the max height smaller, but that causes the .clip div to be cut off.
2) In the sidebar, there are a bunch of items called .sidebaritem. They have a background image that is only not showing up in IE7. I can't figure this one out.
.sidebar-item
{
background:url(images/sidebar.png)top center no-repeat;
font-size: 12px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 18px;
padding-right:10px;
padding-top:8px;
min-height:200px;
}
1) Try this. I think using position:absolute instead of float:right will solve the problem.
.postheader {
background:url(images/posthead.png) no-repeat;
position:relative;
}
.clip {
width:214px;
height:275px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:25px;
}
2) Hmm.. It could be the space after closing ).
background:url(images/sidebar.png) top center no-repeat;
3) Response to comment: In that case... You should redo the background. Create wrappers with backgrounds only and put your content inside. Clip should be the top div inside wrapper and float to right. Do something like...
<div class="itemTopBg"><div class="itemBottomBg"><div class="itemLeftBg"><div class="itemRightBg">
<div class="clip">...</div>
... content with no bg... just text...
</div></div></div></div>
I think I solved 1) with these changes
.clip drop float right, change position to absolute, and give it a right of 0.
.postheader add position relative
.postheader h2 width of around 400px
Seemed to work in IE7 and firefox, not sure how it looked in other browsers though.
I'm really stuck here...
I have a site layout with a central layout (it's about 922px width, centered on the page)... I have a little logo that is to the top left of this, but it sticks about 10 pixels to the left of the central design. If you can imagine, it sort of sticks out to the left of the design...
Now, I was told that absolute positioning would make this happen. But I can't see how the logo would work with absolute positioning if the design itself it in the center of the page. I think this is to make sure it works in IE6... I have tried floating the logo in the central header, and then applying a negative margin of margin-left: -10px; which does work, but I've read this doesn't work in IE6.
Without a snippet of code its hard to tell, but it's probably an issue with where your element is getting it's 'absolute' positioning from. 'Absolute' is a misnomer. It really means "absolute...relative to the nearest positioned parent". So if in your design, you don't have a parent element with the css "position" style on it, it's going to take its position from the body element (which may have some margin/padding on it depending on your browser).
Adding a position: relative; to the element that you want to be the "outermost" container will allow you to specify position: absolute on an item within it, and specify your exact coordinates from there.
Set "position: relative" on a container div.
<style type="text/css">
div.page {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 922px;
}
div.page img.logo {
position: absolute;
left: -10px; top: 0;
}
</style>
<div class="page">
<img class="logo" ... />
</div>
Though.. I would rather make it work without absolute positioning.
When you position your logo absolutely it needs to be placed relative to something. That something is normally the viewport edge. If the logo is inside an element that is positioned relatively then it will instead be positioned relative to that element. So the answer is to make your centered page div display:relative; so the logo always aligns to the page not to the edge of the browser window. Here is an example:
The HTML:
<div id="centeredpage">
<img id="logo"... />
</div>
The CSS:
body {
text-align:center;
}
#centeredpage {
width:922px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:left;
position:relative;
}
#logo {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:-10px;
}
I hope that helps.
