I have a website with two divs aside the main body, on the left and right side, and both of them have images which are approximately 500px in width, combined with the main body width of 980px (it makes them larger than any normal screen resolution).
HTML:
<body>
<div id="#brandLeft">..</div>
<div id="#brandRight">..</div>
<div id="#mainbody">..</div>
</body>
CSS:
#brandLeft {
display: inline-block;
height: 890px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -1010px;
position: absolute;
top: 171px;
width: 350px;
}
#brandRight {
display: inline-block;
height: 890px;
position: absolute;
right: 50%;
margin-right: -835px;
top: 171px;
width: 350px;
}
In the body I've already set the overflow-x: hidden, so I don't see the vertical scroll bar, but the page is still scrollable with the arrows and with the mouse center button.
I can't use jQuery to disable the scrolling so I was wondering if there's a way to have the divs with the large images, without having a scroll bar on the website?
Your images are to big for the side bars, so try this.
Remove the width and height of your images from the actual html.
Control the width/height of the images by using something like..
#brandleft, #brandright img {
width:100%;
}
Doing somethign like that should scale your images to the size of the Divs on the left and right side to get rid of the scroll bars. If that doesn't work let me know.

I am trying to build a layout where I have two divs in the background that span 100% of the page and then a full height wrapper div of a smaller size for content that sits centered on the page. The issue I am having is while I can get the wrapper to sit correctly on top of the top div; I cannot get it to behave correctly on the bottom div. Here is an example:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
.index-banner {
background: #265f7a;
height: 60%;
width: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
background: #444;
height: 200%;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
top: -60%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
width: 50%;
}
.footer-bg {
background: #888;
height: 250px;
position: relative;
top: -85%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
<body>
<div class="index-banner"></div>
<div class="wrapper"></div>
<div class="footer-bg"></div>
</body>
Now the issue with the above code is by using a negative positioning, then I leave a massive gap at the bottom of the page. However I have also tried:
Using an absolute positioning on the wrapper div. Works perfect in keeping the page the correct size however then the bottom div floats to the bottom of the viewport
Using a faux method of making the bottom div look like a full width div by using a background image on body; unfortunately this just sticks it to the bottom of the viewport instead of the bottom of the page due to no content being between both background divs.
Now I have thought about keeping the wrapper occurring naturally between both of the background divs so they do not overlap at all and then put divs inside of those background divs lined up with the wrapper however that becomes a bit of a nightmare that I want to avoid because then I have to struggle to try and align the content that overlaps them as each of those "section divs" would have to be split into two (imagine trying to make a paragraph look like one because it is spread between two divs).
So my question is - am I going about this the wrong way and overlooking something that I could be doing differently to make this work?
Basically I have a div that's of width 512px and height 336px. I want this div to always be positioned in the centre of the screen. If the browser window goes smaller than these dimensions, I want the scrollbars to kick in so the user can see all the content.
At the moment I've managed to position my div centrally, I've set min-width/min-height, the height is working perfectly but for some reason the min-width isn't. It seems the scrollbars are showing but the content is getting clipped on the left and I can't figure out why.
I've knocked up a jsfiddle here (try re-sizing the window so the content is larger than the browser window and you'll see the problem)
HTML:
<div id="vert-wrapper">
<div id="wrapper">
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/512/336/" width="512" height="336" />
</div>
</div>
and the CSS:
#vert-wrapper { width: 512px; min-height: 336px; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 50%; margin-left: -256px; }
#wrapper { width: 100%; min-width: 512px; height: 336px; position: absolute; top: 50%; margin-top: -158px; }
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It's because of the margin left. Your container is getting smaller, you try to put a margin that is too large.
Try uses media queries. I tried, and it seems to work, your picture seems to be visible in entire.I put the width of your pictures as a limit for the query and cancel all margin :
#media (max-width:512px){
#vert-wrapper {left:0%; margin-left:auto; }
}
I have a middle container that takes up whatever vertical space is left on the screen. In it, I placed a Jquery scroller that is currently set to 200px:
.scroll-pane
{
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}
.horizontal-only
{
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
}
However, if I set .scroll-pane height to 100%, it just removes the scrollbar and stretches the whole page.
See JsFiddle here
How can I stop this? Thanks!
Here is my solution to this problem (jsfiddle). It uses markup like this:
<div id="top">...</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="middle">...</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">...</div>
The top and bottom divs are position absolutely at the top and bottom, with a width of 100%. The wrapper div has height: 100%, box-sizing: border-box, and top and bottom padding equal to the height of the top and bottom divs, respectively. This causes it to fill the viewport but have padding underneath the top and bottom divs. The middle div has a height of 100% so it fills the content box of the wrapper (i.e., 100% minus the top and bottom paddings). It has position: relative, which leaves you free to use height: 100% on both interior boxes.
Lastly, middleleft is positioned absolutely and middleright has a left margin equal to its width, which causes it to fill the remaining horizontal space.
height: 100% never works like you want it to. The CSS specifications dictate that it must equal the height of the browser window, or the closest parent block-level element with an absolute height specified. That means that this code will should not work as expected:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Want the body to fill the page? Too bad!</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.page {
padding-top: 50px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
}
.header {
margin-top: -50px;
height: 50px;
}
.body {
height: 100%;
background: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<div class="header">
<h1>Too bad!</h1>
</div>
<div class="body">
<p>Hello cruel world...</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
However, that works fine in Chrome. Why? I can only assume that Google decided to specifically go against web standards because in this case, the standards make no sense. Why would I want something to be the exact height of the browser window? The only time is a <div> wrapping the whole page; in this case a simple "height is relative to the parent block" rule works just fine without breaking expectations elsewhere.
There is a way around this, though. At least, that's what I wanted to say before I tried this in Firefox too. Another way to get height: 100% (with some restrictions) is with position: absolute. However, it would seem that Firefox isn't respecting position: relative on a display: table-cell element - probably those pesky standards again. Here's the code for this technique anyway, if you are interested:
#wrapper > div > #middleleft {
position: relative;
}
.scroll-pane {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
So what can you do? Well, unfortunately, I don't yet know the answer to that. A kludgy solution would be to have Javascript set the height to an absolute pixel value, and attach an event to window resizing in order to update that height. I'll get back to you if I find a better way.
I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do, but another method would be to set body height to 100%, then set scrollpane to "height: auto". Then for the "top" and "bottom" div's used fixed positioning, plus margin equal to top/bottom height.
body {
height: 100%;
}
.top {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
}
.middle {
height: auto;
margin: 100px auto;
}
.bottom {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
}
<div class="top">content</div>
<div class="middle">content</div>
<div class="bottom">content</div>
Try that...
I have a CSS background image that will stay centered no matter what the browser size is. The image used does not stretch the entire width of the browser. This being the case, I need the divs I have also placed in the CSS with background images and links to maintain their position relative to the background image that stays centered no matter what the browser size is.
I have dabbled around with.
position:relative;
but it cascades all the elements and doesn't allow specific positioning that I am looking for. Here is the code I am working with. I appreciate any insight to my newb question, and look forward to learning how this behaves better.
When this code is viewed on different sized browsers, with a background image that does not span the entire width, the elements move around because they are set to percentage. I need them to stay where they are but remain centered with the background. I am not sure how to write this in CSS and have been struggling with it for some time. Thankyou for any guidance on this specific issue.
body {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
}
#logo {
margin: 0px 11%;
padding: 0;
position:absolute;
}
try grouping elements you want to put next to it together inside a div ~say container~ and set the background to the div.
Then set the div ~container~ position to relative and center it.
Then align other elements using position absolute and top bottom left right property wrt the ~container~div.
here is the code for it
<div id="container">
<div id="element1"></div>
<div id="element1"></div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
background:#000 url(bg.jpg) no-repeat center 0;
width: 800px; height: 400px
position: relative;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
margin-top: -200px; margin-left: -400px }
#element1 {
position: absolute;
top: -30px; left: -20px;}
#element2 {
position: absolute;
top: 410px; left: 820px;}
</style>
Hey guys I simply cannot get this to work.
I have some content that is centred on the page using the margin: auto; "trick".
In this content I have an image. I need to make a color bar coming under the image continuing out to the sides of the browser. On the right side I need it to look like its coming up onto the image.
I have made this picture to try an graphically show what I mean: image
As you can see the bar runs from the left to the right side of the browser. The centred image is just placed on top of it and then an image positioned on the top of the image. But I haven't been able to get this working. Any one who would give it a go?
I tried positioning the bar relative and z-index low. This worked but the bar keep jumping around in IE 7-8-9. Centring the image wasn't easy either and placing that smaller image on top was even harder. It wouldn't follow the browser if you resized it. The problem here is that the user have to be able to upload a new picture so I cant just make a static image.
Please help I am really lost here
EDIT:
Tried the example below but when I run the site in IE 7-8-9 I have different results. link
I have made a jsFiddle which should work in Chrome and IE7-9: http://jsfiddle.net/7gaE9/
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="bar1"></div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/200/300"/>
<div id="bar2"></div>
</div>
CSS
#container{
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
#bar1{
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
}
#bar2{
background-color: blue;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
z-index: 3;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
position: absolute;
}
img{
text-align: center;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
The key here is that the container is positioned relative, thus enabling absolute positioning of the child elements in relation to their parent. Use z-index to control how the elements are stacked.
A method I use for centering anything with css is:
.yourclass {
width:500px;
position:absolute;
margin-left:50%;
left:-250px;
}
'left' must be have of your width and then make it negative.
To date I have not experienced any problems with this.
