Id like to know why my inner wrap of the desktop css for this site is not working.
Basically if set innerwrap to margin:0 auto; and width: auto; there is no problem, but it's not centered on the footer or main div
When I have innerwrap as it's currently set margin:0 auto; and width:960px; you'll notice that the page presents a horizontal scroll bar after resizing the window a bit, and all the content is squished to the left with a white background starting to become visible.
Is there anyway to have it transition fluidly to the next tablet size layout without have a scroll bar appearing and content getting squished?
It shows Scrollbar because of the padding you apply in .innerwrap
Read this article about the Box Model
Use of padding on the sides of certain elements when applying 100% width to parent element its not recommendable because it adds width to the whole group, and since you,re using the browsers width it shows the scrollber to see the extra space you added.
My humble advice is that if you want a block element to appear centered apply an margin:auto style rule whenever is possible, the same also has to be displayed as a block element with no float.
Remove this:
.innerwrap {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-right: 10%;
width: 80%;
}
Keep This
.innerwrap {
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
}
Since you are applying fixed margins for you social icons they will show misplaced, so don't use fixed margins for centering them, use percentage width instead.
you may want use a common class for aligning them
.social {
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: block !important;
float: none;
height: 150px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 50px;
width: 30% !important;
}
For a.twittersocial and a.twittersocial:hover and the rest of the social links just keep the background properties.
Create a determined class if you need to apply common style rules to several elements (if there are many of them) and avoid usage of ID selectors whenever is possible, use classes instead (.daclass).
Use a web inspector like Firebug to track down styling errors.
Good luck Developer!

I am trying to implement a grid onto this page. Because the Wordpress page uses overflow:hidden to the layout it will need to remain as is.
Out of curiosity, I tried
.content-container, .content {
overflow:visible
To see if it will reveal the entire grid that was cut off and it did, but also revealed what I am trying to hide through the layout, a spare bit of page.
Is there any way that I can reveal the whole grid without having to allow the overflow?
It cuts off the sides because .container's width is set to a fixed value of 1170px. If you set .container's width to 100% all content will be stretched.
.page-id-2099 .container {
width: 100%;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
This will work:
.page-id-2099 .content-container, .page-id-2099 .content
{
overflow: visible !important;
}
I'm trying to get a simple page layout where the navbar sits vertically along the right side of the user's window, taking up no more than 20% of the available space. The remaining 80% of space to the left is used for content.
I want the entire page to be resizable, so no matter how big or small the browser window is (within reason), the content will resize to the user's screen. Everything works and resizes great, but there's one problem with the navBar. Here's a CSS excerpt:
body{
background-color: #111111;
font-family: Roboto;
color: #cccccc;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
#navBar{
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00C9FF;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}
#welcome{
background-color: #222222;
text-align: center;
margin: 1%;
}
The Problem:
If I leave the code above as is, the navBar renders on the right side of the screen, as it should, but it is not 100% the height of the browser window. Note it still resizes when the browser window's WIDTH is changed.
If I set navBar's position to absolute (position: absolute) the navbar renders exactly how it should render, except it floats to the left side of the browser, basically making it on the complete opposite side of where it should be.
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/YPyvzO (remove position: absolute to see where the navBar SHOULD render)
I have tried several different things including setting "HTML" in CSS to height: 100% and several different position properties for navbar, all to no avail. I'd like for this to be done only in CSS, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Add the following:
position: absolute;
right: 0;
to #navBar. One thing that took me a long time to understand is that position: absolute overrides everything, even floats.
when you resize the browser the width and height change, so for this purpose you have to use media query in CSS and in this you have to tell the browser that in this width the navbar should be in given width. and another option is that you can use bootstrap, in bootstrap you not write too much css. and all the work become easy.
I am trying to figure out how to get divs that I want on the same line to stay there, rather than getting pushed below when the screen is resized.
For example, I have a sidebar and a main body on all the pages in my website that I will give a defined width. They will sit directly next to each other, with the same height.
Sidebar CSS
#sidebar {
width: 380px;
margin-left: 50px;
float: left;
background: #cee7f7;
padding: 1%;
}
Body CSS
.container {
width: 1125px;
margin-right: 10%;
float:right;
background: #fff;
padding: 1%;
}
You can see an example at www.dweeman.com/eb/sitetemplate.html (Ignore the bad design).
Basically what I want is for all my divs (logo, phone, sidebar, body, footer etc) to all remain in their respective positions regardless of the screen size, yet with defined sizes. Does this have something to do with the position property?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Also how would I best describe this for the title of my question?)
Try setting the min-width and min-height of the divs if you want them to stay a specific size regardless of the screen size.
I've created a really simple modal that allows the content to decrease or expand without running off the page - always leaving 10% margin on the top and bottom. When the page isn't tall enough to contain all the modal content, the entire modal becomes scrollable.
See jsfiddle here
Is it possible, using only CSS, to replicate this behavior but only have the modal body be scrollable, so the header is always fixed. I've tried a few things, but haven't come up with the solution yet. Making the header position: fixed almost works, I have to reposition it over the modal box and then try to add padding to the body so the content is visible under the header, which doesn't budge the scrollbars down. I always prefer to exhaust all the css alternatives before I bind some js to window resize and manually manipulate the body height.
This might be late, but I had to solve a similar issue of fixed header, fluid height, fluid width.
This is how I tackled the issue:
Give your elements a border-box box-sizing. Use a wrapper to center and create a bounding box. This can be a fluid one with min-width and max-width + percentages.
Give your content element an overflow-y of auto and a max-height of 100%;
Use box-sizing:border-box;
The complete code should be something like this:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.modal {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
}
.wrap {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
width: 90%;
/* Change the max-width value on a media query breakpoint to make this example more "responsive" */
max-width: 500px;
height: 90%;
padding: 30px;
}
.modal header {
height: 30px;
padding: 0;
color: #FFF;
background-color: #007;
}
.modal .body {
background-color: #FFF;
max-height: 100%;
overflow-y: auto;
}

Applying the max-height and overflow-y settings to .body rather than to .wrap...?
Edit 1:
Nothing's turned up so far within the constraints, which suggests either JavaScript or straying from the constraints (using % for the header height or px margins).
Edit 2:
Here's an initial demo using % for the header height. I added a px min-height to the header tag to prevent the header from almost disappearing on very small screens, at the expense of the top margin (which is reduced on very small screens).
On a screen >= 400px tall, it should work exactly as per the requirements (40px header with 10% height). If the header were reduced in height, it would support slightly-smaller screens (a 30px header with 10% height would support >= 300px screens). Here's a demo with a 30px header.
It's a clumsy solution, but it's the only one that turned up without using JavaScript.
Also, note that I added an h2 and a .content tag and moved the padding:10px; there, to avoid combining % height and padding in the same elements (which leads to a taller height than the % value specified).
I'm trying to build a quick overview that shows the upcoming calendar week. I want it arranged horizontally so it can turn out to be quite wide if we show a full calendar week.
I've got it set up right now with an inner div with a fixed width (so that the floated "day" divs don't return below) and an outer div that's set to width: 100%. I'd LIKE for the outer div to scroll horizontally if the page is resized so that the inner div no longer fits in it, but instead the outer div is fixed larger at the width of the inner div and the page itself scrolls.
Gah I'm not good at explaining these things... Here's a bit of code that might clear it up..
The CSS:
.cal_scroller {
padding: 0;
overflow: auto;
width: 100%;
}
.cal_container {
width: 935px;
}
.day {
border: 1px solid #999;
width: 175px;
height: 200px;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
and the (simplified) structure:
<div class="cal_scroller">
<div class="cal_container">
<div class="day">Monday</div>
<div class="day">Tuesday</div>
<div class="day">Wednesday</div>
<div class="day">Thursday</div>
<div class="day">Friday</div>
</div>
</div>
So to try again - I'd like the cal_scroller div always be the page width, but if the browser is resized so that the cal_container doesn't fit anymore I want it to scroll WITHIN the container. I can make it all work if I set a fixed width on cal_scroller but that's obviously not the behavior I'm going for. I'd rather not use any javascript cheats to adjust the width of the div if I don't have to.
Your cal_scroller class is 100% + 20px (padding) wide. Use a margin on cal_container instead, like so:
.cal_scroller {
padding: 10px 0;
overflow: auto;
width: 100%;
}
.cal_container {
margin: 0 10px;
width: 935px;
}
See here for a description of how the box model works (in short, the everything is outside the width/height of an element).
Also, block elements (like <div>s) are 100% width by default, making your 100% width declaration redundant.
One problem I see is your width: 100% rule. div.cal_scroller is already a block-level element, so it'll default to filling the entire page width. (Not to mention that padding is added on top of width, so you end up with that div being bigger than the page.)
Just get rid of that width rule, and you should be golden. (I just tried myself, and it worked like a charm.)
I didn't read your question very carefully, but when you have width: 100% and padding, that's generally not what you want.
100% + 20px > 100% - that might be the problem.
I struggled with this a lot but the simplest solution I found was adding:
.cal_container { white-space: nowrap; }
This way you don't have to give it a width at al. It just makes sure everything stays in one line.
