Stretch layout height 100% after scrollbars - css

I have a three-column, fixed header/footer and three-column content layout, where left and right DIVs don't stretch to 100% height when the middle DIV overflows..
Any suggestion? Also, what do you think as far layout CSS and it's cross-browser compatibility and overall CSS usage?
Cheers,
David

Change i did was not to wrap the content with the background and you can use background-size is you are planning to place any image later and you can use 100% or cover as its value. Make the position Fixed and Z-Index :-1
CSS
#container-main
{
background: #888888;
-webkit-background-size: 100%;
-moz-background-size: 100%;
-o-background-size: 100%;
background-size: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: 1.5em "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
position:fixed;
z-index:-1;

Use table display to have the columns take full height. Since you have some fixed elements it doesn't matter where they reside. Fiddle

Prevent padding from increasing size

Here's a sample:
div {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 12px;
background: tan;
}
<div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</div>
Is there a way to prevent padding from increasing the size of the div? Some threads suggest using box-sizing: border-box, but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
Replace it with margin by adding an extra div
div.box {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background: tan;
}
div.box div {
margin: 12px;
}
<div class="box">

in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</div>
</div>
Or consider some hack with pseudo element:
div.box {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background: tan;
padding: 0 15px; /* horizontal padding */
}
div.box:before,
div.box:after {
content: "";
display: block;
height: 12px; /* vertical padding */
}
<div class="box">

If you are there for extra space, you can use {margin} instead which will only add space outside of the ““ box. Also if you want spacing between the text, you can use css property {line-height}.

CSS sticky menu links don't work when menu is stickied

JSFiddle code here
I'm trying to make a CSS-only sticky menu (no JavaScript). When you scroll down, hover over menu items no longer works. I'm not sure why not.
CSS:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.row {
background: #f8f9fa;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.col {
border: solid 1px #6c757d;
padding: 10px;
}
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: auto;
}
.cont2 h1 {
background: black;
color: lightskyblue;
padding: 10px;
}
.cont2 nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
background: lightskyblue;
padding: 20px;
}
.cont2 nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
.cont2 nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 20px;
color: black;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.cont2 nav ul li a:hover {
background: black;
color: orange;
}
.sticky-nav {
position: sticky;
box-sizing: border-box;
top: 0;
}
I'm not posting the HTML here, because it's too much.
You need to set z-index:1; to class .sticky-nav
Here is the updated snippet:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.row {
background: #f8f9fa;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.col {
border: solid 1px #6c757d;
padding: 10px;
}
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: auto;
}
.cont2 h1 {
background: black;
color: lightskyblue;
padding: 10px;
}
.cont2 nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
background: lightskyblue;
padding: 20px;
}
.cont2 nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
.cont2 nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 20px;
color: black;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.cont2 nav ul li a:hover {

css trouble combining absolute positioning, max-dimensions and centering

I've done my share of css, and think I know all the usual tricks, but this one stumped me. I'm trying to absolutely position a caption box over an image (implemented as background-image) with a list of requirements:
Should be centered
Should have max-width and max-height as percentages of the image.
Should have bottom 10% from parent, and resize up with more content
Text content over maximum size should be hidden, but the background with it's rounded border-radius corners should remain visible.
The following is the closest I've come - it fails at centering:
.container {
background-image: url('http://via.placeholder.com/400x400');
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
}
.caption {
position: absolute;
bottom: 10%;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 75%;
max-height: 25%;
overflow: hidden;
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: rgba(75,75,75,0.4);
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="caption">

I know lots of ways to center of course, but none I try maintain the other requirements.
I don't mind wrapping one or more extra elements around .caption if it achieves all my aims. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.
Wrap the caption in another div with the dimensions and positioning you require.
.container {
background-image: url('http://via.placeholder.com/400x400');
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
margin: 1em auto;
}
.wrap {
width: 75%;
max-height: 80%;
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(-50%);
bottom: 10%;
border-radius: 5px;
left: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.caption {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: rgba(75, 75, 75, 0.4);
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}

This is a simple full page chat box. It looks good. Just one problem, it can not scroll well on mobile, it stops scrolling when you untouch, it doesn't have continuity like it should.
Any idea why is that?
live demo for mobile test: http://demo.thatilike.com
note: you won't see the problem on chrome mobile mode, it needs to be tested on real mobile
Add -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; to the scrollable element. This will add momentum scrolling to the element on touch devices. But be sure to leave overflow-y: scroll for desktop.

Newspaper layout with two columns and a quotation box centered?

I’m looking for a way to create a newspaper layout for a website where the content is split into two columns but with a quotation box in the middle of the columns.
I know how to make two columns using CSS3 with the
-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 10px;
-webkit-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 10px;
But how do I create the quotation box in the middle and is there any way that I “wrap” the content inside the columns around the box in the middle?
I’ve attached an illustration of what I mean.
Please imagine in this illustration that the text in the two columns is wrapped around the box in the middle.
Here's a solution that works:
DEMO HERE
This would give your columns flexibility. However, your quote area would have to be a fixed height/width. If you want to adjust the quote area, change the widths/heights of the spacer divs at the beginning of each column div. Not an elegant solution, but it works.
CSS:
#one {
float:left;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#two {
float:right;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#three {
position: absolute;
left:50%;
top:100px;
margin-left:-300px;
border:1px solid;
width:600px;
height:200px;
background: maroon;
color: white;
}
HTML:
<div id="one">
<div style="float: right; height: 80px; width: 10px;"></div>
<div style="float: right; height: 210px; width: 300px; clear: both;"></div>

Notice: This builds upon peteris solution (which didn't wrap around the quote div) below.
I guess it's wrong but...:
<style>
#one {
float:left;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#two {
float:right;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#three {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-top:-150px;
margin-left:-100px;
border:1px solid;
width:200px;
height:200px;
}
</style>
<div id="one">ONE</div>
<div id="three">3</div>
<div id="two">two</div>
It can be achieved, but... it's not flexible, you'll have to tweak the positioning for almost any change you make to the text.
DEMO
HTML
<div class='newspaper'>
<img src='http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8049/birmancat.jpg'>
<p><!-- paragraph text --></p>
<!-- nine more paragraphs -->
</div>
CSS I've added:
.newspaper {
position: relative;
width: 580px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0 auto;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 20px;
font-size: 12px
}
p { margin: 0 0 10px; }
p:nth-child(3):before, p:nth-child(8):before {
width: 145px;
height: 200px;
content: '';
}
p:nth-child(3):before {
float: right;
}
p:nth-child(8):before {
float: left;
}
.newspaper img {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
top: 85px; left: 50%;
margin: 0 -150px;
}

I modified #sean_mcgee's answer by adding some JavaScript to split the columns for you. Just place the text in the newspaperArticle div, and put your quote in the JavaScript field. It doesn't work well on a small screen because the words are longer than the space, so here is a full-screen example: http://jsfiddle.net/iansan5653/xbfYD/4/embedded/result/. The only problem is that it could split an HTML tag apart, so be careful.
