Im working on a site right now, and I have run into the problem with my text. When I zoom out, the text begins to stack and actually goes out of my div. I have the div at a fixed width and height, and have it wrapped out in other divs, and cant figure this out for the life of me. Only the text moves though, everything else stays put. It looks kinda likes this
Desired:
this is my text
in the way that
I want it to be
actual:
this
is
the
text
As I zoom out the text tends to stack up and push out of the div.
.content {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.contentleft{
float: left;
width: 480px;
}
.contentright{
float: right;
width: 480px;
}
.boxone {
float: left;
clear:both;
height: 211px;
width: 230px;
background-image:url(../images/rec1.png);
}
.textone {
width: 220px;
height: 200px;
overflow:hidden;
clear: both;
}
HTML
<div class=content>
<div class=contentleft>
<div class=boxone>
<div class=textone>
<p> TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT </p>
</div>
<div class=learnone>
</div>
</div>
<div class=boxtwo>
</div>
</div>
<div class=contentright>
<div class=boxthree>
</div>
<div class=boxfour>
</div>
</div>
</div>
what can I do to stop that text from moving?
It's a browser behaviour to zoom all the items in the page, but as a developer you can specify a font-size in pixel.
font-size:12px;
Try simple just increasing the width of the div.
Example
.contentleft {
width: 800px;
}

UPDATE:
I rebuilt the page with all relatively-positioned elements and the thing is still stuck when I navigate via pageid. I think it's definitely a Safari-specific overlap conflict and it is super annoying. Any ideas out there?
I'm working on a microsite that uses pageid's to navigate through full-page div's, arranged vertically with the overflow hidden. It works just fine on every browser, including mobile, except desktop versions of Safari.
The div's scroll when the page is refreshed to the specific pageid, and will scroll if the text is highlighted and dragged, but if you start at page 01 and navigate to page 02 (like you're supposed to), the content will not scroll.
It seems like it might be an overflow conflict, but I tried to do this with the page div's scrolling horizontally to separate the x- and y-axis issue and I got nothing. It's acting more like there's a transparent layer in between me and the scroll...
Check out the microsite here: http://www.kevinjbeaty.com/trailtool-stackoverflow
Note that it works just fine everywhere else.
This is the basic html:
<div class = "viewbox">
<div id= "page01" class="page">
<div class="content">
**these are photos that do not scroll**
</div>
</div>
<div id= "page02" class="page">
<div class="content">
**these are photos that do not scroll**
</div>
<div class="contentscroll">
**this is text that should scroll**
</div>
<div id= "page03" class="page">
<div class="content">
**these are photos that do not scroll**
</div>
</div>
<div id= "page04" class="page">
<div class="content">
**these are photos that do not scroll**
</div>
<div class="contentscroll">
**this is text that should scroll**
</div>
</div>
and the basic css:
.viewbox {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: black;
z-index:0;
}
.page {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: block;
z-index:1;
overflow: scroll;
background-color: white;
z-index:10;
}
.content {
position: absolute;
padding: 2%;
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: block;
}
.contentscroll {
position: absolute;
padding: 2%;
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
display: block;
z-index: 200;
}
Got it! Wow.
I changed the body "overflow" to "hidden" and got rid of the ".viewbox" wrapper altogether and viola! Stupid simple...
I have a link and a button, each in their own div, and then wrapped in a shared div. The link is centered on the page, and the button is aligned to the right side of the page. I want to keep this, but have the two items on the same line. How can I do this?
Use floats on your divs, something like this:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="center">
center
</div>
<div class="right">
right
</div>
</div>
and for css:
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
.center {
float: left;
margin-left: 50%;
}
.right {
float: right;
}

When you resize the browser window (smaller), you can see that the behavior of the divs basically breaks the design. How to handle this problem?
My thought was to give the #wrap a height, but that won't work like it should.
Here's how I'd do it. http://jsfiddle.net/joplomacedo/TYjd5/ (I couldn't figure out how to save the changes in cssdesk so I transfered it into jsfiddle)
Basically, I added a 'wrapper', which I called block around each of the image and info blocks. I gave them a width and floated them. This way, when the browser is resized, the info and the image always go together.
Was this the behavior you were looking for. What would you want to happen on the browser resizing?
You can use min-width on #wrap and set a pixel value to prevent it from breaking.
DIV elements don't behave well when used with percentages or I can say they are not meant to be used so. You have two options in this kind of situation:
Make the design of your page in such a way that it looks like it's not responding to the browser's window resize. Take as an example this very website.
Resize your containers accordingly when the browser's window is resized. To do this you will need to use Media Css classes or maybe jQuery.
I've been on this for days and read every conceivable article on css, overflow, and layout.
I have a page with a banner (position: absolute), below which is a div containing two block divs. The second block div, in turn has another div containing text.
I would like the inner-most DIV display a scroll bar when the window is resized.
I've read the posting on ensuring height is set on all containing elements, I've set overflow-y: auto in all the right places. Just doesn't work.
The containing DIV looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/oDHM4.png
I want the green part to scroll when the browser window is resized (y-direction only).
Scrollable DIVs in any design are so useful... but shouldn't be this hard.
Any and all help appreciated.

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
** STYLING **
Here's the CSS cut down to the core essence:
html, body {
position:absolute;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 1010px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#page-header {
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: 5px;
height: 60px;
width: 100%;
}
#page-content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin-top: 95px;
}
#configContent {
height: 100%;
width: 300px;
padding-left: 0px;
border-width: 3px;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-right: auto;
}
.libPanel { height: 100%; }
#probesCT1 { width: 150px; margin: 0 auto 0 30px; }
#probesCT2 {
width: 200px;
/* height: 100%; */
margin: 0 30px 50px 30px;
padding: 0 10px 10px 10px;
}
#pTbl { overflow-y: auto; }
.pRow { margin-bottom: 10px; }
For overflow-y: auto to work and make scroll bars, that div must have a specific height set. So in this example (with your html above) I set it to 200px, which was less space than necessary to display the content without a scroll bar, and thus shows a scroll bar. However, if set to 100% it does not work, because 1) you need to uncomment the height of the containing divs, and 2) your content in that div is less than needed to fill the height of the div, so no scroll bar shows up. With more content added, you get a scroll bar.
What I think you really want is to insure you always have a scroll bar if needed, but even then, you need to make sure the div does not extend below the bottom of the page or you could still have problems with the scroll bar itself going off the page. I've configured something that is probably more what your intent is, but note that I had to use multiple nested relative or absolute elements to achieve the effect. I also had to guess on some height positioning for the top of elements to clear your titles.
It should be very simple, but I am, so it's not ...
The first thing on the page, right after <body>, I want a sort of banner, containing some text which is left aligned, and an image which is right aligned. It should occupy te full width of the page.
Can you do that without knowing the width og the image?
Yes, put image in one div, and text in another, define "float: right" property for the div with the image, and "float: left" for div with the text in CSS
<div class="div1"><img src=...></div>
<div class="div2">text</div>
<style type="text/css">
.div1 {
float: right;
}
.div2 {
float: left;
}
</style>
<div id="banner">
<div style="float: left; width: 50%;">
left - just put your text here
</div>
<div style="float: right; width: 50%;">
right - just put your image here
</div>
</div>
You may also want to use a clearfix (google it) technique to ensure the banner div always has height no matter how big the image is.
Here's a fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/KaHjd/1/
I've assumed that you want the image right aligned as well.
#header {
overflow:auto;
}
#branding {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
background: #00AA00;
}
#logo {
float:right;
padding: 10px;
background: #aa0000;
overflow:auto;
}
#logo img {
float:right;
}
<div id='header'>
<div id='branding'>
some text
</div>
<div id='logo'>
<img src='http://placekitten.com/200/100'>
</div>
</div>
Of course we can. But your image must be small enough in order for your text not to overflow the banner.
HTML
<div class="banner">
<span>Text goes here</span>
<img src="" alt="" />
</div>
CSS
.banner { overflow: hidden; width: 100%; }
.banner span { float: left; }
.banner img { float: right; }
