Ok, if you go here: http://opportunityfinance.net/Test/2013conf/index.html
You will notice 2 layout issues
This image of the 3 logos needs to be below the "Gold" <h4> tag. But for some reason it won't do it. I have assigned the <div> tag a position of relative since there are other divs within it that need to align the images to the bottom, and this does it correctly, however, it now won't go below the <h4>Gold</h4> HTML.
Next Layout issue:
I have been trying like hell to get a footer on the bottom of the page. Sounds simple right? WRONG! But now that I got the div to be at the bottom, it seems to be cutting off the top area divs above it. So, not all of the content is showing. Instead it is being pushed underneath of the footer. How can I fix this? Tried to put a padding on it, but now sure where and/or how? margin-top on the footer doesn't seem to do anything either.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have been struggling like hell to get this simple layout in order. It should be a fluid layout, as I'm resizing text down as the page resizes also, which seems to be perfectly fine, except for these 2 problems :(
EDIT
Here is a pic of what it looks like when applying the container div a 100 pixel height value:
It is giving it too much space between the <h4>Gold</h4> and the 3 images. Atleast this is the case in Opera. Any possible work-arounds for this?
here's a fix for one
.body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 2em 2em 52px 0;
}
you have 3 logo's in one div, on that div add a height, for example
element.style {
height: 100px;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
Pretty basic stuff really, you should look into clearfix's here http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/clear-fix/
When you add a float or position:absolute; to a div, in a way it gives up its reserved space so that causes the parent div to think that there isnt anything inside and therefor has no height, clearfix will fix these problems for you, reason i say is becuase the 3 logo's are all either floated or absolute;
this is the result i get

i am learning CSS, i am trying to place the div with red background just below the body, i can't seem to make it fit to the body, whenever i adjust the width it doesn't align with the body,when i tried to place it center and 100% width, it occupies 100% of the width of the page it does not align with the white background area, whenever i do 80% it does align left and does not align with the white background area. Please point me to the right direction. I'm stuck :(
the code i have so far is here: http://pastebin.com/VPMgbzQ2
Thanks in advance.
Make your footer div out of the tabs div and no need of position: absolute on it. Make following changes:
#footer
{
margin-top:80%;
height: 20px;
width:50%;
text-align:center;
background:#C00;
}
Here is fiddle.
Also it seems that you are trying to make responsive design but let me tell you that the way you are proceeding is not the right one for it. You may read Responsive Design By Ethan Marcotte for learning it.
EDIT
Make following changes:
Give height: 400px; or as required to table div.
Make your footer div out of the table div.
Either remove margin-top or change it to 5% or 10% as required in footer div.
Add min-height: 100%; to .tabs.
Check out the fiddle.
Try hardcoding the height value
#spaceheader {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background: #000000;
}
I see your issue now. The parent element <div class="tab"> is what's causing your issues. If I were you, I'd take the radio buttons out of the tab, make it not have a float:left on it, and this will probably fix things. You then need to remove the absolute positioning on your footer div.
Also, it looked like you put the footer div inside of the tab, when in actuality, it should be outside of all of the tabs, beneath them in the code.
I have been working at this for the past day and a half. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
The general layout has a top bar and a side bar which are position fixed. I want the content container to fill the rest of the page without a scroll bar unless it is necessary due to content. I am not sure if it is possible to do purely in CSS or if I will need to modify my html structure as well. I have posted a fiddle below to show the most simple example possible.
http://jsfiddle.net/wU2Hd/
Again, any help or pushes in the right direction will be greatly appreciated, this has been throwing me for a loop.
It's not impossible. Check out this JSFiddle I forked from yours.
I did not need to change the HTML structure, but there were some important changes made to the CSS.
First I removed the height: 100%; from html, body. This was forcing the scroll bar to appear.
Then I removed the height and width declarations from .content, and gave #shell-content absolute positioning:
#shell-content {
background: #FFFFFF;
position:absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 86px;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow-y: auto;
}
The left and top are values based on the explicit height you gave to your header and the explicit width you gave to your menu. The overflow-y: auto tells it to only show the scroll bar if the content out-grows its available space, but not otherwise.
The JSFiddle has some crazy-long lorem ipsum text to show the effect. If you change it to less text, the scrollbar will disappear entirely.
The problem is that you are setting
#shell-content{
height:100%
}
body{
height:100%
}
Which means the body fills to fit the window, and then the shell-content expands to fill that space (the EXACT size of its direct parent), but is displaced by shell-top-wrapper, so it overflows. You should either decide on a relative height for the shell top wrapper, or change the height of the shell-content dynamically (using javascript).
Here is a take off of your fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/eeMz4/. You'll see that with the large image in the content area, it scrolls. If you take the image OUT and replace it with text or something smaller than the available space, the scrollbar goes away.
The trick was adding overflow:auto to #shell-content.
Cheers!

I made a few small changes: http://jsfiddle.net/wU2Hd/5/
- remove the height from content
- remove the height from content-shell
- set the body background to white
- set the sidebar background to grey
This will not actually stretch up the content, but it will appear like it does. Scrollbar will appear automaticly when the content becomes bigger then the viewport.
I couldn't think of the right wording for this question, but here is my problem:
When users hit Ctrl+Plus to zoom in on my page, content seems to push each other around.
For example, I have a navigation div floating on its own on the top left corner of the page.
Then there is main content text that is centered in the page. When the user zooms in, the centered content quickly moves left towards the navigation and eventually starts wrapping around it and it looks awful.
Is there a high-level way that you can describe to me how to structure my page so that zooming keeps things stable and 'just zooms in' without distorting the original positioning?
This link from "A List Apart" covers some font sizing and fluid web development. It should give you some good direction of how to structure your page to adapt to changes in font sizes. You may also want to look into media queries because they allow you to apply styles based on certain characteristics of the browser or device.
How to keep code in center on zooming?
Center the code on zooming?
ANSWER:
< div id="wrapper"> Place this div tag outside the code < /div>
#wrapper
{
background-color: #F00;
width: 400px;//This width can be anything according to your need
margin-right: auto;//Note margin-right and left are allocated automatically
margin-left: auto;
}
Another Way
#wrapper
{
background-color: #F00;
width: 400px;
position:relative;
}
I have been trying for an hour to get a list in a sidebar of WordPress to have a negative margin. Fooled around with margins, padding, sidebar placement in the php files... But the link images just keep disappearing behind the background.
Here's the page where I'm working: http://kirahenschel.com/
This is what I am trying to achieve:
http://emgraphics.net/kira/idea2-11.jpg
Ideally I'd also like that sidebar to be a finite height so the white boxes on the bottom spread, but I can cope with them being off to the right.
Anyone have any ideas? Neg margins are working fine on the logo, so it is just a list thing?
Thanks
If you're merely trying to get the list to be bumped to the left, why not use a CSS positioning property? Negative margins can get really wonky, and are (most likely) unneeded in this application.
#nameoflistdiv {
left: -20px;
}
You may also need to change the value of your div's position element, but this will bump your div and everything in it left, overlapping the container div.
If that doesn't answer your question, can you post the HTML and CSS you are using? The CSS code
margin-left: -20px;
really should work in this application as well, so show us what you've got.
Your negative margin is working as expected. The reason the images are getting cut off is because you have set overflow:hidden on the #main container. If you remove that property your images will appear.
#main {
background: url("images/blend.png") repeat-x scroll center top #2765CA;
clear: both;
height: 630px;
overflow: hidden; /* delete this line */
padding: 0;
}
I'm working on a site that has a wrapper element, with a left and right sidebar, each floated within the wrapper. The left sidebar (which contains navigation) is clearing the right sidebar and pushing it to the bottom for some reason. I've tried fixing it in about 50 different ways. I originally thought changing the size and or margin would help. It didn't. I tried the 'display:inline' fix to no avail. I've tried a ton of other tweaks but I can not get it to work. You can view the site at www.ibgs2010.org and the css is www.ibgs2010.org/css/style.css (I'm trying to use a IE7 specific stylesheet to fix it). If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. I've burnt about 3 hours today just trying to fix this one little issue.
Looks like the problem is with the ajaxloader div - set its width to 697px (same as sidebar right) and that should fix your problem.
Try to remove the margins and paddings on your sidebar classes and have a inside wrapper with the margin and padding set to it. More failsafe this way so that margins don't increase the size of your div element. Browsers have a different way of rendering margins and paddings to elements.
Hope that helped you out.
Cheers
I think it's just that the floating content is being considered too wide to fit -- so, it's floating it down to where it will.
Instead of float, you might try position with left and right, respectively:
.content.wrapper {
position: relative; /* establish boundary for absolute positioning */
}
.sidebar.left {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
.sidebar.right {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
I propose you add the following:
#ajaxloader {
width: 737px;
float: left;
}
The width of 737px is derived from the 697px width plus the 40px left padding of of .sidebar.right
With this addition the IE7 and Firefox versions should look the same, give or take a pixel.
I include the yahoo reset css as the begining of every page (or css file). It really helps to level the playing field. Also with IE, always remember to specify width (even if it's 100%) and if your floating, make sure to display:inline.
