Okay so I've started making myself a website for a project that I'm working on. I'm currently sorting out the layout for my website but am stuck on the navbar.
I want my navbar to span 100% of the website, and horizontally/vertically center my buttons (images).
What I've got works ... but I'm just wondering if I'm doing it the most efficient way?
Here is my html.
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="navbar_left">
</div>
<div id="navbar_buttons">
<img src="../Originals/button_home.png" />
<img src="../Originals/button_logo.png" />
</div>
<div id="navbar_right">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is my CSS:
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
#header {
height: 123px;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(../../Originals/header_background.png);
}
#navbar_left {
width: 25%;
height: 123px;
float: left;
}
#navbar_buttons {
height: 123px;
width: 50%;
float: left;
line-height: 123px;
text-align:center;
}
#navbar_buttons::after {
content: ".";
visibility: hidden;
}
#navbar_right {
width: 25%;
height: 123px;
float: left;
}
Check out this jsFiddle for one example of how you could simplify your markup and CSS. It makes use of inline-block for your images.
HTML (using the header element):
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100" />
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100" />
</header>
</div>
And CSS:
header {
text-align: center;
background: #222;
}
header img {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
Note that a div is display: block by default, so you don't need to specify the width of 100%: it will fill the available width. Similarly, you don't need to declare a margin or padding as they aren't doing anything.
I'd also avoid declaring a fixed height if you can avoid it: just let your parent div expand to the height of its contents.

I created the following layout:
What I want to achieve is, that the red and the blue container have a 100% height inside the wrapper. This is the HTML code so far:
#extends('master.main')
<!-- Section Insert for pageTitle -->
#section('pageTitle')
title
#endsection
<!-- Section Insert for content -->
#section('content')
<div class="menu-bar"></div>
<div class="main-content">
<div class="row row-no-padding">
<div class="col-md-7">
<div class="content-container-left">test</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="content-container-right">test</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endsection
And the Styling:
#main-content-wrapper {
height: 100%;
margin-left: 60px;
background-color: #f7f8f9;
}
.main-content {
margin-left: 15px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.content-container-left {
background-color: red;
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding: 15px;
}
.content-container-right {
background-color: blue;
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding: 15px;
}
.row-no-padding {
[class*="col-"] {
padding-left: 0 !important;
padding-right: 0 !important;
}
}
I tried to understand the logic how to achieve this, but still have issues as I do not have the most experience yet with that. I thought about a height setting of 100%, which does not work. But I do not understand why is that?
If the parent element is static then the height will be auto. If you have the parent element position: absolute and set fix height you will see 100% means it will fill the height of the parent of block element.
Please note by default block level element position is static (example div, h1, h2).
Please this documentation: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#the-height-property
For
height: 100%;
to work, you need to have an explicitly set height on the parent element.
I'd suggest:
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
.main-content,
.main-content > .row,
.main-content > .row > div {
height: 100%;
}
.content-container-left,
.content-container-right{
height: 100%;
}
I'm struggling trying to find a way to vertically align two images on two different columns
but I don't know how to do it.
Here the css of the two columns:
.left {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
.right {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/6o6zwqLb/
I guess it should be pretty simple.
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/j55dxbe3/
I would use inline-block and make sure that my inline-block elements have no gap in the html (I used a comment to do this rather than making the font-size:0px on the parent and then putting a font size on the children).
HTML
<div id="center">
<div class="left">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/250/375" width="250" height="375" />
</div><!-- comment to close gap
--><div class="right">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/333/500" width="333" height="500" />
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.left, .right {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
display:inline-block;
text-align: center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Displaying your elements as table cells should cure what ails you:
#center {
...
display: table;
}
#center > div {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Demo
.left > img {
margin-top: 62px;
}
A margin-top of 62px on the smaller image will move it down where it is (about) 62px to the bottom of the page.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to do this. I want to have a wrapper so my site is centered, but one of the header elements needs to stretch all the way to the right edge of the page, but without expanding the width of the page and adding scrollbars.
See here: http://i49.tinypic.com/6rkaxc.jpg (new poster so can't add image)
The blue outline represents the centered wrapper, and the orange box is the header div that I'm trying to get to fit to the right side of the page. I've got it to work using 100% width but it creates a horizontal page scroll since it's making it the same width as it's parent. I want it to expand for users that have higher resolutions so it always fits snug to the right side. I hope this makes sense.
my code looks something like...
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
div#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1020px;
position: relative;
}
div#header {
height: 150px;
position: absolute;
left: 510px;
width: 100%;
}
div#left {
width: 510px;
float: left;
}
div#right {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
I'm pretty new to this stuff so if you notice any errors here or bad practices please point them out! Thanks for the help! :)
Since you want your content to be fixed width, a strategy would be to have containers for both left and right contents. This allows you to use width: 100% for the header which will extend to the end without scroll bars. You then make the header relative to the right container. Here is a jsfiddle you can play with.
Note I made the widths smaller so it would fit in my jsfiddle window.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftContainer">
<div id="left">
This is left
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightContainer">
<div id="header">
This is a header
</div>
<div id="right">
This is right
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
div#wrapper {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
div#header {
z-index: 1000;
height: 150px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
background: green;
}
div#leftContainer {
float: left;
width: 50%;
height: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
div#left {
float: right;
width: 260px;
height: 300px;
background-color: purple;
}
div#rightContainer {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 50%;
height: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
div#right {
width: 260px;
height: 300px;
background-color: yellow;
}
Try this one. I changed the wrapper width to 80%. Not sure if that's ok. But I works well when expanding the page. Moved the header outside of wrapper and also added background color for clarity.
Note 1: right DIV's margin-top is same size as header DIV's height.
HTML
<div id="outerWrapper">
<div id="header">
Header
</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left">
Left
</div>
<div id="right">
Right
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
div#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
div#header {
height: 150px;
float: right;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
width: 50%;
background-color: yellow;
}
div#left {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
div#right {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
margin-top: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
Hope this helps.
I've got a question regarding positioning of two objects: image and div. I want bg2.png image to stay under div. I keep encountering problem with image pushing div down by img's height. How do I avoid that?
I tried pushing down image with "top:" value but of course it leaves me with empty area above div. Also I tried adding negative "top:" value and relative position to "maincontent" div but again it left me with empty area, only difference was that this time it was under the div.
HTML:
<body>
<img src="./images/bg2.png" class="bgimg" />
<div id="maincontent">
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body {
width: 100%;
background: #000;
}
.bgimg {
z-index: -1;
overflow: hidden;
left: 70px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
#maincontent {
height: 520px;
width: 960px;
margin: 20px auto;
display: block;
z-index: 8;
}
Thanks in advance.

2 solutions:
Change your HTML structure:
<body>
<div id="maincontent">
</div>
<img src="./images/bg2.png" class="bgimg" alt="some">
</body>
or make it as the background-image:
<body>
<div id="maincontent">
</div>
</body>
#maincontent {
background: url(./images/bg2.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
padding-bottom: height_of_image_in_px;
}
<style>
body {
width: 100%;
background: #000;
}
.bgimg {
z-index: -1;
overflow: hidden;
left: 70px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
#maincontent {
height: 520px;
width: 960px;
margin: 20px auto;
display: block;
z-index: 8;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="maincontent">
<img src="./images/bg2.png" class="bgimg" alt="some info about image here">
</div>
</body>
if you want that image inside the div use this code. or if you want make that image background of that div use css background property
Edit: A note to anyone reading this, the whole reason it didn't work for me is because I was using DOCTYPE TRANSITIONAL. Which no change in HTML or CSS whatsoever, switching to DOCTYPE STRICT made it work. This is true for at least Chrome, FF, and IE8.
I have tried many many solutions offered online and none of them seem to work for me. I am trying to vertical-align an image inside a div (the image is already horizontal-aligned).
The image can be any width and any height (up to 70px) so I can't use a fixed margin or anything like that.
Here is my HTML+CSS:
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
#list ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#list li {
border: 2px solid #DDD;
margin-bottom: 3px;
height: 110px;
}
#image {
width: 75px;
height: 110px;
line-height: 110px;
float: left;
}
#image img {
vertical-align: middle;
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
#event {
margin-left: 75px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id="list">
<ul>
<li>
<div id='image'>
<img src='http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico'/>
</div>
<div id='event'>
<h1>Text</h1>
<h2>More Text</h2>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div id='image'>
<img src='http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico'/>
</div>
<div id='event'>
<h1>Text</h1>
<h2>More Text</h2>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can't use vertical-align on a block element. An image is usually an inline element, but you have yours explicitly set to display: block. Remove that, and set the line-height of the parent div to the div's height.
Works here: http://jsfiddle.net/YnzR9/1/
#image {
width: 75px;
height: 100%;
float: left;
line-height: 110px;
text-align: center;
}
#image img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Set the "line-height" of the div to the same value as the height of the div.
Update: Assuming you want the image vertically aligned and centered, use the following.
#image {
width: 75px;
height: 110px;
float: left;
line-height: 110px;
text-align:center;
}
#image img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
