When I resize the browser window my navigation bar div drops below the search box div.
How can I stop the nav bar moving and keep it in the same place? The footer behaves itself and its structured in the same way?
Here's a link...

Thanks!
This happens because your menu does not have a width specified. Whereas you footer behaves because it has a width specified( div with id footerleft)
I'm testing on Chrome now, removing the width:100% you have set on the navigation bar div (wrapper_menu_full class) seems to do the trick. This 100% refers to its size compared to the containing div (#mainmenu3).
If this still doesn't work on IE7, try setting both divs inside #mainmenu3 to display:inline, although now I'm testing on Chrome it doesn't seem to make any difference.
REPLACE YOUR CSS
#mainmenu3 {
height: 150px;
line-height: 20px;
list-style-type: none;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
YOU WILL GET THE DESIRE OUTPUT
You're using floated elements on both divs (searchfilter and menu).
When you are using the floated elements, and the width of the last of the floated element exceed parent's width, it goes moves to the next line (belov).
Put this into your css to make it work as you want:
#mainmenu3{position:relative;}
#search4{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;}
.wrapper_menu{position:relative;top:0;left:310px;}

I noticed a behavior that drives me crazy.
I have two divs, that have both similar css:
.one, .two {
position: fixed;
bottom: 6%
}
One div is for navigation, and other is for content, that has max 300px height. The problem is, that if the user resizes the browser window to really small one, the scrollbar is not shown.
I tried to change position to absolute, but then the ajaxify plugin breaks the position if new page is loaded. I couldn't find other ideas, how to position those divs at fixed position at bottom.
p.s. I pasted a sample test on http://pastebin.com/Bp1490dj
the background-green div is at the bottom with position:absolute;
from what I know a position:fixed; and or position:absolute; will never make a scroll. (please correct me if I'm wrong) so a way to go arround this is to set a min-height to body
body {
min-height:200px;
}
have a look at the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/u2ZWa/
also, there is a fix with a scroll now. But you have to know the fixed elements will never be scrollable because they're fixed
Scrollbars are not compatible with a fixed positioning.
i have a problem with the entire content of my page.
The problem being without a scrollbar present my content is about 20px to the right, but when a scrollbar is present it shifts to the left.
I have to compensate for this for an absolute postioned div by positioning it over the content by 20px until a scrollbar is present as it rests at the right hand side of the page.
This is a crappy fault on my behalf but i just want an easy way to fix this. Any quick and easy suggestions? Would i be better off making the main content div an absolute one?
One quick and dirty way is to always force the scrollbar to be visible with:
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
Not ideal, but it standardizes the appearance if the lack of scrollbar offset is breaking your design.
If I'm understanding your problem correctly, your absolute div is 20px off when a scrollbar is present? If that is the case what you can do is set a parent div that wraps around your content and absolute div.
Be sure to set this wrapper div to position: relative; so now your absolute div will be positioned inside the relative div instead of the document level. If there is a scrollbar, the wrapper div will be offset to the left by 20px (the width of the scrollbar) and the absolute div will also.
<div class="wrapper">
your content goes here
<div class="absoluteDiv"></div>
</div>
.wrapper { position: relative; }
.absoluteDiv { position: absolute; }
I don't think your content is actually shifting in any sort of buggy way; it's just that the presence of the scroll bar makes the viewport narrower. If you're using a layout that depends on viewport width (e.g. fluid layout, or fixed-width with centered content), this will cause everything to move by half the width of the scroll bar when it appears.
AFAIK, there's no sure-fire way to compensate for that, since the width of the scroll bar isn't known.
I've been working on http://healthimpactnews.com and I need to fix this issue asap.
For some reason, IE, and IE only, squeezes the right-hand sidebar down below the other divs even though all the div columns are floating and within a fixed width container. My browsers create a horizontal scroll bar when the are sized down, but IE just forces the div down, instead.
Anyone know why?
The div with class ct_w is 1000px width;
The first child of that (ct) is also 1000px width,
so it pushes the second child ct_c3 (the right bar) away... (down)
solution:
completely remove the width property of the div with class ct
.ct {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px; /** <--- remove this **/
}
Yes, your container, "ct_w", has a width of 1000px; your left column, "ct" also has a width of 1000px. There is no room left there for your sidebar, "ct_c3". The other browsers are actually being nice by rendering the sidebar where it is. In fact, they're only doing that because you didn't clear your floats, so they don't understand the box model of ct_w.
Use a clearfix on ct_w, set the width of ct to 750px (or 749px for IE7), and make ct float left, then you will see the layout you're looking for.
Try setting the following:
.ct_w {
...
float: left;
width: 750px;
...
}
.ct_c3 {
...
float: right;
...
}
The following seems to work as well:
.ct
{
float:left;
width:750px;
}
And remove the margin part, because it is not needed when floating the toolbar next to it.
I have a layout template made to have a top banner, a left side menu and a content area to the right of the menu. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the 'application_layout_content' div from dropping below the 'application_layout_menu' if the browser window is narrowed. I'm not sure if I was doing this the right way to begin with; otherwise it seems to work fine.
(looking at IE7/IE8 mainly), I've played around with 'overflow' and 'position' properties but either will cause problems in one version or the other. Like 'Overflow: auto' will work in IE7 (main content div won't drop below the menu div), but in IE8 it will cause a greyed out vertical scrollbar and the main content div will still drop below the menu div.
Thanks!
#application_layout_header
{
background-image: url('../hHeader.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 103px;
}
#application_layout_menu
{
width: 205px;
float: left;
}
#application_layout_content
{
float: left;
}
I don't think you can accomplish this as long as you have a fixed width defined for #application_layout_menu. Try making it a percentage value.
try setting a min-width on #application_layout_header
I have a page with a wrapper div which contains a background image and all the content divs.
In this wrapper div I also have a logo div which should be placed at the bottom left corner of the wrapper without interfering with the contents.
I have managed to place the logo in the bottom left corner of the whole page (position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0;) The problem is that if you resize the width of the window, the background stays centered while the logo div goes left and sticks to the browser edge (as it should).
How would I go about making it stay to the edge of the wrapper div?
The reason it is not a part of the background is that the client wanted to be able to change the background without editing in the logo.
I have thought about not centering the wrapper, this would solve the problem.
I'm thinking about position: relative, but it doesn't seem to work.
I hope I'm clear enough, here is a link to the layout in case it helps.

Make your wrapper div's position to be relative.
At the moment, your bandname div is not inside the wrapper. Put it in the #wrapper div, and set the wrapper to a position: relative;
I found my mistake. I had forgot to make the background-div fixed width so when the browser windows expanded, the background-div expanded too. Everything was behaving exactly as it should.
Put the logo div inside the wrapper div, and then set use some combination of these:
position: relative;
bottom: 0px;
float: bottom;
I'm not sure about the float: bottom, but I think you'll need it to prevent interference with the rest of your content.
