I have a main div at the center of the screen at the shape of the touch pad.
Within it I have another div in which I want to display output. However, the pad itself is set on % to react on different resolutions.
See the pic below, yellow window is the whole pad and the red window is the content screen.
Now I want to make that red window exactly as the pad's screen is set on % so it could adapt on different resolutions, is there a simple way of doing that?
Yellow's css:
#mainWindow{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background-image:url("../images/mainWindow.png");
background-size:100% 100%;
height:100%;
width:80%;
position: relative;
border-style:solid;
border-width:3px;
border-color:yellow;
}
The red one doesn't really have anything.
I hope you understood me. Thanks beforehand.
EDIT:
html code for the screens:
<div id='mainWindow'>
<div id='screen'>
</div>
</div>
In order for a DIV to have 100% height, you need to make its parents 100% height as well:
body, html {height:100%}
Slightly confusing prompt, but see if this works for you:
http://jsfiddle.net/T3MHZ/
HTML snippet:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id='mainWindow'>
<div id='screen'></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS styles:
html, body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
#mainWindow{
margin:0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
/* SET THE PADDING TO THE PX MEASURE OF THE TABLET BORDER */
padding:50px 40px 50px 40px;
/* box sizing will make sure that the usable content size is minus the padding value */
box-sizing:border-box;
position: relative;
border:1px solid black;
}
#screen{
width:100%;
height:100%;
border:1px solid red;
}
By using a combination of measured padding on #mainWindow to account for the tablet border, and box sizing of border-box to assure exact fit of the #screen content, this should give you the flexible layout you're looking for.
Don't forget your viewport meta tag! ;)
I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you want correctly, but try
height: 100%;
on red.
min-height:100%;
You have no content, it's going 100% of it's parent content. Diodeus's answer would work as well for the same reason, if the body, html are 100% window height then the divs inside will look at that as content.
http://jsfiddle.net/calder12/Jq7xR/
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="outside">
<div class="inside"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
.container{height:250px;width:400px;}
.outside{border:1px solid red; min-height:100%; height:100%;}
.inside{border:1px solid green; min-height:82.5%; margin:5%}
To be honest even my brain is struggling with the 82.5% height to get the margins to work right =/ But I do believe that is what you're after.

I have two divs, .left and .right in a .container div All of which widths are set in % and when I resize my browser the blocks resize too but the text <p> doesn't. Why is that?
Here's a link http://jsfiddle.net/TomasRR/WuNL3/10/
I have stated that .left and .right should always be 400px width when container gets 800px with this command
#media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {
.left, .right {
width: 400px;
}
however when resizing from browser's max width till 800px I want my text in .right resize too, I mean drop down on another line, so I could see the full sentence.
<div class="cont">
<div class="left">

</div> <!-- .cont -->
the .left doesn't interest me. How to fix the text in .right is my question.
Your white-space:nowrap; entry in the css for your cont class is where the problem lies. This stops your paragraph from wrapping within the div
If you want the 2 divs to sit side by side, use float:left; and float:right;
To combat the problem with the right div dropping below the left div, you need to use width: calc(50% - 4px); for each div as you have borders around the divs of 1px thickness. If you adjust the border thickness you will need to adjust the pixels subtracted.

I'd use float:left instead and also use a container element to keep the widths as 50% and not need use calc to compensate for the borders
<!-- HTML -->
<div class="left">
<div class="container">

</div>
</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="container">

</div>
</div>
/* CSS */
.cont {
width:100%;
}
.right .container { border:1px solid black; }
.right {
width:50%;
height:200px;
float:left;
}
.left .container { border:1px solid red; }
.left {
width:50%;
height:200px;
float:left;
vertical-align:top;
}
Demo
If you want them to always take up half of the width, you just have to remove the media query that you have that sets a set width when the browser is small
Demo
As a front end designer, I would recommend that at some point you use media queries to have the sections on top of each other when the screen is small so that it is responsive and readable on small screens, like this
I am trying to make a fluid grid website and now im facing a problem which a just cant seem to fix just using css. Obviously i'm doing something wrong, but i just cant find what.
Here's the thing: I have one column (div: left) and one body (div: right) displayed in-line. in stage one div left has a width of 180, and div right is growing till it reached 640px (like youtube). In stage two i want to make the column grow some more from 120px to 150 px, But when the column is growing div right gets pushed down, even though there is enough space. Im thinking it has something to do with the margin's technique ive been using but i cant find it, and dont know any alternatives i could use since im trying to do this without using java.
Here is my jsfiddle: which will show the problem clearly: http://jsfiddle.net/tomvisser/WcbYL/embedded/result/
I happy with all help i can get.
Thanks in advance.
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<div id="center">
<div id="left">This is the content for Layout Div Tag "left"</div>
<div id="right">This is the content for Layout Div Tag "right"</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
here is the css:
#left {
float: left;
height:400px;
width: 150px;
display:inline;
background-color:#F00;
}
#right {
margin-left:150px;
background-color: #6F0 ;
height:400px;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 650px) {
.gridContainer {}
#right {
margin-left:0px;
width:500px;
float:right;
display:inline;
}
#left {
margin-left:0px;
float: right;
width:100%;
margin-right:500px;
}
Yes it's the margin pushing it down. Not sure what you're asking exactly but I can probably bet you're looking to give the 2 divs the max-width property.
So for step 2 (the media query?), delete the margins and try doing something like:
max-width: 180px;
for the left column.
This is the code I edited in your media query block:
#right {
margin-left:0px;
width:500px;
float:right;
display:inline;
}
#left {
margin-left:0px;
float: right;
max-width:180px;
}
Although do you have them floating right on purpose?
Hi i tried your code and find a solution for you.Hope it will help for you.Here i am
assuming the total width of a page is 1024px.
HTML code
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<div id="center">
<div id="right">This is the content for Layout Div Tag "right"</div>
<div id="left">This is the content for Layout Div Tag "left"</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
<style type="text/css" >
#left {
height:400px;
background-color:#F00;
width:512px;
}
#right {
background-color: #6F0 ;
height:400px;
float:right;
width:512px;
}
</style>
Here i am giving width 512px to each div because i am assuming that total width of page
is 1024px.If you want to increase the width of left by 12 px means 512px + 12px = 524px
then you need to decrease 12px from div right width because width cannot be more
then total width of page i.e 1024px.After decreasing it will become 500px and again
524px + 500px = 1024px.In that case your right div will not push down.
Hope you understand and will work for you.
I'm trying to create in HTML5 a view made of div's that displays in the center of the page while the background is grayed out. Something like the Silverlight child window. I am having a horrible time trying to get this to work.
You can easily do it with some basic css like so. This is just the css part not javascript to animate it or toggle. But it should be enough to get you started.
CSS
.div {
position:absolute;
top:300px;
width:300px;
height:260px;
left:50%;
z-index:1000;
margin-left: -150px; /* negative half the width of the div */
}
.background {
background:#000;
opacity:0.5;
position:fixed:
width:100%;
height:100%;
z-index:999;
}
HTML
<div class="div">
My Content
</div>
<div class="background "></div>
this is to make the page centered with 900px width, you add this to your div element:
width:900px;margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;
for the background, you need to add the following style to you body element
color:gray;padding:0px;margin:0px;
you have to include a width in order to center an element. margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; will not work if you did not include a width!
Usually I would do this by either setting the margin to auto, using position:absolute, or via padding but unfortunately these will not work in this case. I need a div to be about 15 pixels off-center horizontally from the page. The tricky bit is it needs to scale correctly as the page widens. It seems to me that I would need to do this horizontal adjustment based on the center point, rather than the left hand side. How could I achieve this? Thanks.
Use a container div, which is centered, then its content you can give margin-left:npx - like so:
HTML
<div id="container">
<span id="green"> </span><br />
<span id="blue"> </span>
</div>
CSS
#container{width:100px; margin:auto auto; background-color:red;}
#container span{display:block; width:100%; }
#green{background-color:green; margin-left:10px;}
#blue{background-color:blue; margin-left:-10px;}
See the example coded up here - http://jsfiddle.net/Xpk8A/1/
give a wrapper with:
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
inside wrapper, put div:
position:relative;
left: -15px; (or whatever you want)
example page would help.
You can absolutely position your div and set the left attribute to 50%. Then, set the margin-left to 50% + 5px (whatever that is). This would only work if you have a fixed width on the box, however. For example, if the box is 200px wide, the margin-left would be -115px.
The key is to set width:100% and a fixed margin, as you can see in my example below
<style>
div {
background-color:red;
height:100px;
margin:0 auto;
width:100%;
margin-left:15px;
}
</style>
<div></div>
<html>
<body>
<div class="centered">
<div class="offcenter">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The css will be:
.centered
{
margin: 0 auto;
width:300px;
height:200px;
background-color:red;
}
.offcenter
{
background-color:blue;
width:285px;
height:inherit;
float:right;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/evbbq/
You can use display:inline-block for center the DIV then give your margin to it .
Like this:
.Parent{text-align:center;}
.Child{
display:inline-block;
text-align:left;
width:200px;
height:150px;
background:red;
margin-left:15px;
}
Check this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Xpk8A/2/
Remove margin-left:15px then click on Run button in the fiddle to see the different.
Im not too great at CSS but hopefully someone on here can help. I have the following mockup. (i have stripped out my content to make it easy to view)
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="body">
<div id="navBar"></div>
<div id="mainContent"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
my CSS is as follows:
html,
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background:#ff0;
padding:10px;
}
#body {
padding:10px;
padding-bottom:60px; /* Height of the footer */
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:60px; /* Height of the footer */
background:#6cf;
}
now im unsure as to how to get the "navBar" to be the page height. I've tried adding height: 100% but that doesnt work.
Thanks,
Matt
Giving an element height: 100% will give it a height equal to that of its containing element, which in your case is #body. Since body in your example is only as big as it needs to be to hold its content, #navBar will be 100% of that height.
To fix this, you can make #container and #body height:100% to make them as tall as tho body tag, which takes up the whole page:
#container {
height:100%
}
#body{
height:100%;
}
In the interest of completeness, you could also set the top and bottom of #navBar:
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 60px; /* height of footer */
To understand the difference, play around with This JS Fiddle. Mess around with the height and top, bottom, position properties to see how your changes affect the layout; just don't use both positioning methods at once!
Your issue appears to be that each parent DIV all the way up to the BODY tag must explicitely have a height of 100% for #navBar to have 100% height. This means you would also have to set the height of #body to 100% as well, since it is the parent container of #navBar.
Have a look at this site - I assume you want a two column layout - this site will show you how to do what you want. Hope it helps.
