CSS: Overlapping borders - css

I just stumbled on a problem where the shared border between a menu bar and the main content box does not go on properly (as the content box is too small)
Image: http://imgur.com/O3ra9
Code: http://jsfiddle.net/gh55e/2/
So I was wondering if there was a way to fix the border. Maybe by giving them both one and making it overlap? Just have no idea how to do this as margin -x doesn't work.

Give the right element a border all around, then use the margin-top and margin-left properties in the negatives to make them overlap. Here's an updated jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/gh55e/4/
CSS:
#right {
width: 85px;
float: right;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-top: -54px;
}
​

For later visitors, this is the CSS that eventually fixed it.
#right {
width: 385px;
float: right;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-left: -10px;
}
You basically make a margin of 10px and move it back for 10 px

How to prevent div section to move below?

I have а search page and want to prevent "top20" div section on the right to move below the section rounded by rectangle when I change the size of browser window.
CSS:
#search_parameters_border {
border: 1px outset gray;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
#searchBox {
background-color: white;
color: black;
text-align: left;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
#categories {
line-height: 20px;
height: 420px;
width: 250px;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
#additionalFilters {
width: 700px;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
#top20 {
width: 650px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px 5px 5px 50px;
float: left;
}
The screen shot:
Since you don't have a containing element for your floats, the phone is allowing your last float to get pushed down below where you're not wanting it to go. It's generally a good idea to use a "container" or "wrapper" div as you'll see them referenced to at times with your site's maximum allowed width to surround your builds (or min-width if you want to get a little fancier.) It will solve your issue as well as help you stay organized. As well, like in this situation, if you run into problems, sometimes it can be faster to just set a property in your "container" div to "position:relative;" and then position the div you're having trouble with absolutely via "position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;" or something similar for spacing. If you have any questions about anything above or in the other comments let me know and I can explain in more detail.
As you're using absolute values for all widths you need to give a min-width to the surrounding container. Than you're top20 div will not move.
But you should consider making you're style more fluid.

How to add minimum margin to Zurb Ink email content?

Here is a Plunker I just created: http://plnkr.co/edit/jKo6yavo9fFNHiMsEvAL?p=preview
It is a simple single row layout. What I need is a fixed minimum margin on both sides (left and right) of the row. Let's say 25px. Resizing the window should always show at meast 25px of grey background before and after the row.
I tried modifying the table.container style from:
table.container {
width: 580px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: inherit;
}
to
table.container {
width: 580px;
margin: 0 25px 0 25px;
text-align: inherit;
}
But it seems it does not work for the right margin (goes out of the page). Any suggestion?
I think the simplest solution would be to use the left and right table borders instead of margin.
Something like the CSS below should do the trick.
table.container {
width: 580px;
border-left: solid 25px #f1f0ef !important;
border-right: solid 25px #f1f0ef !important;
text-align: inherit;
}
Since not all email clients support margin your other option would be to add padding/border to an outer table/tables.
If you have any questions let me know.

Can't center fixed form on unbounce platform

I'm working on the unbounce landing page platform. Overall, it's really awesome and makes A/B testing pretty easy. It's more or less just drag and drop, but you're able to add css, html, javascript, etc.
Anyway, I'm working on creating a fixed signup area on the bottom of the screen (should boost conversions), but I'm having some troubles. The signup box is created within the wysiwyg dashboard, and from what I see it just builds the CSS for you, as you move sliders, change colors and such.
I'm able to make the entire signup area float right to the bottom, but I can't get the signup box to stay centered. I can use margins and positioning, but not the align: center function.
I've tried doing margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto as well as text-align: center; but it does absolutely nothing!
When changing the size of the screen, it just will not stay centered. But here's the kicker; the text has no problem centering with just width: 100%.. The signup box doesn't seem to respect any wrapper and I'm thinking this might be the problem.
This is all the CSS I'm using to create this fixed section:
#lp-pom-box-214 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
position:fixed;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
bottom:0px;
width: 100%;
align: center;
}
#lp-pom-form-51 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
width: 100%;
position:fixed;
bottom: 25px;
margin-left: 26%;
}
#lp-pom-text-211 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
position:fixed;
bottom:75px;
width: 100%;
}
Thanks a TON in advance!! This client is really good to me, so I want to do a good job for them. I'm not a great coder, but I'm very good at marketing so feel free to give me a shout if you need help in that arena :) That's the best way I know how to give back to whoever helps me out (or anyone else in the community for that matter).
Thanks again.
You can't adjust the position of a fixed positioned element in this way.
A fixed position element is positioned relative to the viewport, or the browser window. The viewport doesn't change when the window is scrolled, so a fixed positioned element will do exactly as the name implies and remain fixed in it's assigned position. To position a fixed element you use the properties top, right, bottom, and left
If you want to keep it as a fixed positioned element you can vertically and horizontally center it on the page by setting top and left to 50% so as the left-top corner of the container is centered within the page, you can then use margin-top and margin-left with negative values to compensate for half of the width and height of the element to achieve true center within the center of your container.
Something like this?
if yes check this code

How do I indent all lines text when I have a background image?

This seems simple, but I can't seem to get it to work as I wish:
My CSS:
.widget_box_fill {
display: block;
float: left;
clear: left;
width: 620px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 30px;
padding: 20px 0;
background: url(../images/tabbed_bg.jpg) no-repeat;
background-size:100% 100%;
}
Try as I might, I can't seem to leave the image in place and indent all lines of text.
You are using padding: 20px 0; which means your left and right are padding 0.
Try using padding:20px; which will put it on all sides.
If you want it just on one side, try padding-left:20px;
If I understand you correctly, you want to change padding and leave the background in the same position.
If so, you can try: background-origin: border-box;

CSS - How to prevent horizontal scrolling?

This question probably has a simple solution.
I've designed a website with two columns side by side. Everything is fixed (menu bar and left column) with the exception of the right column.
This is intentional as I only want the right column to scroll has it will hold the readable content for the page. So everything is great, right?
Not exactly, the left column is floated left, and the right column is also floated with a larger enough left margin to allow to to sit properly in the page on load.
However when the screen is too small horizontally, the user can scroll left and right with moves the second column all around and even under my fixed first column. That is what I want to prevent.
How can I get the second column to scroll vertically but not move horizontally?
Here's a snipet of the css:
#main-content {float: left; margin: 100px 0 0 0; background: rgba(128,127,128,0.9); padding: 15px 25px 15px 15px; width: 500px; -moz-border-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-radius: 20px; border-radius: 20px;}
#button-glue {float: left; position: fixed; padding: 0 25px 15px 0px; width: 525px;}
#button{
float:right; margin: 5px -20px 0 0;
}
#button a {
background:url(../images/button.png)
no-repeat;
display:block; /* Necessary, since A is not a block element */
width: 167px;
height: 58px;
}
#button a:hover {
background:url(../images/buttonhover.png) no-repeat;
width:167px;
height:58px;
}
.right {float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 25px;}
#secondary-content {float: right; margin: 100px 0 15px 569px; background: rgba(128,127,128,0.9); padding: 20px; background: rgba(128,127,128,0.9); width:405px; -moz-border-radius: 20px; -webkit-border-radius: 20px; border-radius: 20px;}
Thank you!
overflow-x:hidden
that will not allow scroll bars on an element and hide anything hanging over.
I hope I understood your question right way, but why do you may not need to use float.
Float is to push an element to the left or right, and I think it's very handy but for your solution you don't need it. Instead you can use on your secondary-content div position: absolute. Instead of using margins it's easier to use top, left. So if you want to have your secondary-content div in the right place you can use:
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 569px;
I suggest you do the same with the other elements and use margins for creating space around your elements.
