I am trying to tweak a wordpress site but can't seem to get one of my parent div's backgrounds to be visible through the child divs on top. I've got the background image set for #main. The image I'm using fades to white at the bottom but, in the rendered page, I can only see about the top 23 pixels or so before the rest is blocked...I think by #primary.
The site uses a child theme based on Responsive and can currently be viewed here. I would copy/paste code for your convenience but I'm no longer certain what part of the code is responsible for what I'm (not) seeing. So I apologize in advance if this is not enough information to go on :-/
Looks to me like you have a float problem and the div#main is collapsing. Try one of the various clear-float techniques to prevent that.
For example, try #main { overflow: hidden } as a test - that will normally prevent the collapse.
Classic clear fix issue. Give #main an overflow:hidden or try the micro clear fix if any content is spilling out of the box.
#main {
background: url("http://wp.massosteopathic.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/headerhand-contd.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 1.625em 0 0;
z-index: 1;
}
The #main div is only 24px high. This is because all child divs are floating.
add a
<div class='clear'>
with
.clear { clear: both}
just before the closing tag of your #main

On my Website Homepage I inserted a grey strip container containing social network links. I want it to go all the way to the edges of the page like my footer.
This is the code I used;
.outer {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #f8f8f8;
margin-left: -178px;
padding-right: 349px;
position: relative;
}
I know it's an amateur attempt, can someone show me a better way to code this? At the moment when zooming out it detaches from the edges of the page.
Will need to see the html also
Maybe try taking away the margin if that div isn't contained by another one
I'm looking at your site, and I'm not so sure the problem is with the CSS that you've printed out for us.
Your social networks strip is inside a section tag with class ".wrapper" which is set to width 1640px, and the strip is adjusting to the width of that wrapper. Is there a reason you've set that ".wrapper" class so wide?
Your footer, on the other hand, is not inside that same "section.wrapper" element, so it is adjusting to the width of the browser.
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.
alite so i used a tutorial from this site: http://www.webreference.com/programming/css_gallery/index.html
the problem is, when i added more images, the gallery on the right fell out of the div margins. to fix this i used overflow:auto. now when there are a lot more images, i am allowed to scroll down my div. problem is the image shown when i hover is positioned at the top part of the div. so when i scroll down too much, the image either gets cut out from the top or doesnt appear at all. so its kinda like on this page right here. if you scroll down this page far enough you wont see this post any more unless you scroll back up. is there a css code that i can use to fix this. basically what i want it a position:fixed effect in the div box with the hover thing. so how do i edit the tutorial code to do that?
The issue is with step 9 in the tutorial
#container li {
float:left;
}
An important concept to know with floats is the clear property. Because the space of the images exceed that of the containing div, the images effectively fall out of the div. There are several ways to resolve this issue. Read here for more http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/
1.overflow: auto; like you have already implemented
2.define a class
.clear {
clear:both;
}
and put <div class="clear"> right before the closing tag of the container
3.Use pseudo selector :after
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
change <div id="container"> ... to <div id="container" class="clearfix">
Personally, I prefer method 3, because it makes markup cleaner. Just be aware of browser compatibility for method 3.
yes another problem with this scroll bar
alright so I started the website over again that was mentioned here
and I am having problems with this scroll bar again
alright so all I have is a single image in a div tag
<div align="center" id="SuggestionBox">
<img src="images/SuggestionBox.jpg"/>
</div>
this code displays right but
when I make the browser window small enough that the full image can not be seen it doesn't give me a scroll bar to see the whole image
hopefully this makes sense
I am using firefox
EDIT:
I tried overflow:scroll and it did not work
this was the outcome
and this happened in the middle of the page
I also tried 'overflow:scroll' on the body of the page through css and all it did was show disabled scroll bars that did not change no matter the size of the browser
also some people are a bit confused
so
this picture might help
notice how the image is not fully shown
well, I want there to be scroll bars in case the user wants to see the whole image
but they're not appearing
also here is all my css code:
body
{
background-image:url("images/background.jpg");
}
a:hover
{
color:#FF0000;
}
table
{
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
#SuggestionBox
{
position:relative;
right:375px;
}
thanks
Good Luck
get it?
I may not be understanding your question, but it looks like your problem is that you've disabled scrolling in the body but would like the div to scroll. #lukiffer's answer is right. When you resize your browser, however, the scrolling div, which is a fixed size, isn't overflowing because its content still fits.
Are you wanting your "SuggestionBox" div to anchor to the page so that it resizes along with the page? That would enable it to change sizes as the browser does and thus add scroll bars when its content doesn't fit:
#SuggestionBox
{
position: absolute;
/* Change these to establish where to place the div. All zeroes
means it fills its whole container */
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
overflow: scroll;
}
Update:
I don't get what #SuggestionBox is supposed to be. If you're just wanting a centered image link, you could get rid of the div and just have this as your markup:
<a id="SuggestionBox"></a>
And for that <a/>, you could have the following CSS:
#SuggestionBox {
display: block;
width: 100px; /* Or whatever the width is */
height: 100px; /* Or whatever the height is */
background-image: url(images/SuggestionBox.jpg);
margin: 0 auto;
}
If your reason for having the div was to give your link a right margin of 375px, your CSS could have the margin set to 0 375px 0 auto instead.
If you use this simple HTML/CSS, your body should be able to scroll normally (unless you have other CSS or HTML that you haven't posted that's breaking it).
div#SuggestionBox { overflow:scroll; }
On a customer website, I have to add a background image for only a contained region of the page (its real content part).
The problem is, if the content is short enough, then the image will be clipped. How would be possible to have the image completely visible? I have tried to add the "overflow" CSS attribute but unfortunately it did not help me.
Here is an example of the website I have to work on: http://www.sfp-pensioen.nl/werknemer/welkom The background image is on the div element with id="content".
On the specific link that I am sending it is not an issue because the content is long enough, but if you remove elements using firebug then the problem will become obvious.
ps: IE6 must be supported.
Following on from Graham's answer:
"height" in ie6 acts like "min-height" across other browsers.
min-height: 50px;
_height: 50px;
The example above will provide a cross browser minimum height of 50px. ie6 will read "_height" where other browsers will not. If you don't hacks, use a conditional statement.
Rich
you could either give a height to the id #content
or
apply the background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top transparent; to #mainContent instead of #content
overflow for background-images is impossible, but you could set a min-height for content (or set the image in another div with lower z-index and position it abolutely to appear at the place you want - but thats a very bad solution)
The overflow attribute controls what happens to the div when the content is too big to fit - if you have a fixed-size div with some content that might overflow, you generally want the auto option. overflow has no effect on a background image.
For your case, it sounds like you want to specify a min-height on the content div. Note that this isn't supported by older browsers like IE6, which you may or may not care about. There are plenty of ways to work around this, though.
What you want is the 100% height you can achieve this with the following.
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
}
You need the min-height and the body needs a height so every child element of the body will follow the rule.
Also by adding min-height: 100%; to all css rules will solve all your problems for any grade A browser.
If you know the #sidebar or #main will always have a visual height the same or larger than the background image then you can simply add the background image to:
.sub #wrapper #mainContent {
background:url("/images/Doelgroep-Background-Image.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 150px transparent;
}
instead of where it is an the moment on #content
