Working with a Wordpress theme, and needed to have the blue blur background stay with the slider when the browser window is re-sized. I have achieved that goal, but I have noticed that when you narrow the browser, everything does not stay centered there is a large space on the left. What would be the best way to remedy this?

The sites a bit of a mess, you need to have the wrappers with the image, then the containers the same size centered
#wrapper {
background: #000b1a url("http://www.stringcreative.ca/wp/wp-content/themes/Rbox2Pro/images/masthead.jpg") no-repeat fixed top center;
}
#header_container {
margin: 0 auto;
height: 117px;
width: 960px;
position: relative;
}
dont need a lot of the position's set to absolute, and margins at - to get it to fit.
also look into the 960 Grid System. i use it all the time, and saves me loads of time getting the site to fit. hope this helps
It's because your solution for centered the slider is inelegant, and relies on fixed widths and absolute positioning to make it look right.
To fix it, you need to change a few things.
Change #homebgw to:
#homebgw {
background: url("http://www.stringcreative.ca/wp/wp-content/themes/Rbox2Pro/images/masthead.jpg") no-repeat scroll 50% -117px transparent;
height: 411px;
width: 100%;
}
Change #header to:
#header {
background: url("http://www.stringcreative.ca/wp/wp-content/themes/Rbox2Pro/images/masthead.jpg") no-repeat scroll 50% 0;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 35px;
width: 1400px;
}
Quite simply, you don't need absolute positioning to solve the issues you posted above. If you're using absolute positioning and negative margins to correct center alignment issues, you're probably doing something wrong. Keep it simple, and Google how to achieve the results you desire. The net is full of helpful documentation to achieve these basic results without hacking up your code with fixes ;)

I am trying to customize the Lightbox/zoom feature in Cargo Collective, believe it uses Photoswiper.
As of now it fills the whole screen and would like to be able to control the size so it does not cover the top and bottom nav bars. Can I add some padding or block to the PSWP? The PSWP is not showing up in the general CSS editor. SO it seems as though I would need to add some of my own code.
The goal is trim off the top and bottom and also control the size of image when zoomed.
Thank you in advance.
I came across the same problem trying to resize the PhotoSwipe image within my Cargo Collective site. I added the following to the custom CSS and it worked perfectly:
.pswp img {
object-fit: contain !important;
max-height: 400px !important;
max-width: auto !important;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
I also styled the background with the following. You could also add margin top and bottom here if you want to add a gap in the PhotoSwipe background.
.pswp__bg {
background-color: #fff !important;
}
.Pswp_bg image-zoom-background {
background-color: #fff !important;
}
Cheers!
An update - this solution looked great on my screen but too small on a big screen. Styling with percentages rather than a single px size is a better solution here. Hence:
.pswp img {
object-fit: contain !important;
max-height: 70% !important;
max-width: auto !important;
margin-top: 5%;
margin-bottom: auto;
}
I have been trying to set my footer in my web for a while with no luck..
The footer sticking to the bottom of the screen, and if there is scroll-bar, so when I scroll down, it will slide up...
I want it to stick to the bottom but not like position: fixed (if there is scroll-bar, then I don't want to see the footer until I scroll to the bottom).
There is 3 main components in my web (header, content and footer).
This is the footer css:
background: #929191;
border-top: 1px black solid;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
I have tryed changing html and body to "height: 100%" but the only thing that was almost like I wished for, was when it made the height bigger than the screen.
It was like height: 110% (even though the sum of heights was 100%).
I Tryed to reduce it, until I fit but it every little change in the UI make troubles.
I would very appreciate any help..
Sounds like you are looking for <footer>. Keep in mind it won't work in early versions of Internet Explorer. Here is some more information. Let me know if this works out.
Try this on your footer -
.footer {
position: relative;
bottom: -500px; // you can adjust the negative value
}
I'm building a website for our church and I'm using joomla 2.5 to do so. The template i used was wsnone2. I know a bit of code but not a lot i've tried to play around to sort out this issue but i cant seem to do it. Basically when there is very few lines of text as here http://www.smass2.co.uk/index.php/en/hymns/annual/deacon-responses/liturgies the footer comes up and covers the space. How do i stop that without making the position fixed. i tried using ryanfait sticky footer, and several others, but that didnt seem to work. can anyone people provide me with any more suggestions? if possible could the solution be done through CSS?
Thanks.
Actually, this is going to be harder than it looks at first glance. You have a couple things working against you here. First, your footer is actually contained in 2 divs, region9wrap and region10wrap. Doing as #gartox suggests will only move part of the footer to the bottom of the page. You would also need to do the same for the other part. To do so you would need this CCS -
.region9wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 30px; /* height of div below*/
width: 100%;
}
.region10wrap {
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
That will move both parts of the footer down, but now you will have a huge dark stripe where your background does not extend to the footer. Now you have to fix the background. First you need to remove the background from region4wrap completely.
Then add the background to the body tag -
body {
background: url('http://www.smass2.co.uk/images/Cross.jpg') no-repeat #0D0D0D;
}
This will make the background extend all the way down to the footer of the page without causing a big dark stripe.
You need do this:
In the class .region10wrap add this properties:values
.region10wrap
color: #999;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px; /* your height footer*/
width: 100%;
}
Easiest way to do this is to have the footers background on the actual page (behind the whole site), so when the footer can't reach the bottom, it will look like it's stretching all the way down.
I have a portfolio page with a image display with zoom.
I have this code: http://codepen.io/Mpleandro/pen/LvrqJ
The div that shows the image has a class of .display, on line 13 of the HTML and the css formating for this div isline 90.
The image width will be flexible, so I what I want is to make the containing div inherit the width of image.
I tried the css property auto, inherit and min-with, but nothing works!
Could someone help me?
P.S.: I need a responsive solution.
Thanks
since 1 year has passed you may not be interested in the solution, but hope that helps someone else.
I also had a situation like that where I needed a div to be of the same width as the image and this had to be responsive.
In my case, I set a fixed width for the div
.some-div{
width: 250px;
}
I also had responsive image:
img{
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
height; auto;
}
and then I added a media query with threshold when the fixed width of the div started to affect the responsive nature and simply addedd this:
#media screen and (max-width: 917px){
.some-div{
width: 100%;
}
}
For my project the threshold was 917px when the fixed width started to affect.
I guess it is a solution that will fit everyone since width: 100% after the certain threshold will always be the width of the image if the image is responsive.
I don't know how to give you a perfect answer, but I can hopefully send you in the right direction. First, you can forget about inherit or min-width because they are not what you want.
auto is the default value, and I think that the default behaviour is very close to what you want: the width of the div adapt to its content. If this is not the current behaviour, this is because of many other reasons including the positioning of that div. The thing is, you won't have a proper centering and sizing of the <div class="display"> with only CSS, because it would need a specific explicit width declaration.
Since you already use Javascript to display/hide the good images, you could use Javascript to set the width everytime you change the image that is in the box.
My best advice would be to use existing solutions which are tested, approved and look really good. A 2 seconds Google search pointed me to Fesco which you could try.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if it is, I hope it will help!
If you want your image to fill the div, but to scale with the browser, try setting the width of your div. Next, apply max-width="100%"; height: auto; to your image.
The simplest solution would be to just set .display to display: inline-block;, which would adjust its size to the contained image. If you want to be responsive as well, you need to define an upper limit via max-height: 80%, for example.
Put together, it would look like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/IluBt
JS line 17:
$(".display").css("display","inline-block");
CSS for .display
.display {
position: relative;;
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
max-height:80%; /* <-- limit the height */
top:10%;
left:0;
margin:auto;
}
And to align everything nicely:
.loader {
color: red;
position: fixed;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
background: rgba(0,0,0, 1) url(../http://www.mpleandro.com.br/images/new/loader.gif) no-repeat center center;
text-align: center;
}
I need some stuff that´s inside a specific div element, to float in a specific place.
Naturally, I get different positions according to screen resolutions and browsers.
I need this block of content to appear on the top right corner, but not at the very very top, but about 3 centimeters from the top.
How can I get the position fixed?
I´ve tried this:
#sidebars {
margin: -37% 1% 0 0;
width: 35%;
}
And it works in one page with a specific browser only (I´m using latest firefox version to test this).
So, I´ve tried a fixed position, only to get a result that does not respect the margins. So, I´ve added some float to the right, with no consequence:
#sidebars {
float: right;
margin: -37% 1% 0 0;
position: fixed;
width: 35%;
}
Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance for your insight!!

Sounds like you do want a fixed position, but I'm pretty sure you don't need the margins. To be clear, position: fixed; will position an element with the window (whereas absolute is to the document). I'm betting you're looking for something like this:
#sidebars {
position: fixed;
width: 35%;
right:0px;
top:0px; /* or whatever spacing you said you need from the top of the window */
}
