I have a fixed position side tab on my page that contains filtering options for the user. When there are a lot of options, the side tab gets too long and the bottom goes beyond the bottom of the page, where it is impossible to view.
Is there a way to have the whole page continue scrolling to the bottom of the side tab div? I don't want to put scroll bars inside my side tab div, even though that would be an easy fix. I just want, when the bottom of my div butts against the bottom of the page, to bring the whole div up with it so that the bottom content is visible.
I am limited in that I can't use jQuery in this particular application. I can, however, use Dojo.

I have a web page with two panels. The left panel takes up the majority of of the width and displays user posts. The right panel is a navigation menu so I want it to remain fixed and never roll off the screen.
When there are too many posts to fit on one screen, a scroll bar appears on the right of the screen (NOT the panel), and the user scrolls down. This is all good, except that the navigation menu scrolls off the screen.
Both panels are within a common div. I tried setting its position to relative, then making the nav panel position fixed, with a right offset of 0. This kept the nav panel on the screen, but on the far right (ie. not within the containing div).
How do I go about keeping the nav panel fixed on the screen, but floated to the right of it's containing div?
Thanks a million!
EDIT: For and example of what I mean, look at Facebook. You'll see that the posts column can extend on forever, but the right hand column (with the advertisements) stays on the screen...
You could use the Twitter Bootstrap Affix JS plugin:

I have an absolutely positioned element that I want to extend just outside the main content width. The element is supposed to be a semi transparent watermark that overlaps with the main content area.
The problem is that the page scrolls if the watermark gets cut off. I'd rather it just get cut off if it doesn't fit in the page, and not extend for the sake of the watermark.
Here's a demo:

The overflow attribute tells the page what to do when the page is too big to fit. If you apply the option
{overflow: hidden;}
where you want it to show, (ie, in a div or for the entire page, or just on an image), then the page won't scroll. However, you effectively lose the information for the overflow while it remains overflow, so it's a trade-off.
I had this idea for a website of creating a fixed horizontal navigation bar that simply scrolls through the content when you press the menu items but I wanted to have an "introduction" div on top of it with a background image and a logo, lets say of 300px height that displays when you first load the page.
So the navigation bar would appear attached to the bottom of this "introduction" div and only when you scrolled past it would it become attached to the top of the window and become fixed positioned when you scrolled.
If you clicked a certain menu item or if you simply scrolled up to the start of the page it would attach itself to the bottom of the "introduction" div again.
Is this possible to do simply with CSS or would I have to use javascript to achieve this effect?
Thanks in advance!
I think you'll need JavaScript for this one. It will not be hard however. The only thing you need to do is to switch the positioning of the menu to 'fixed' when the menu would otherwise scroll out of the viewport.
I have a centred web page (using margin: 0 auto; on a 'wrapper DIV') that has a long side-menu.
One page template needs a wide content area, so I am attempting to add a link at the top that will toggle showing the side menu (using jquery), so if clicked it will appear over the top of the main page content.
I can achieve this if I use 'position: absolute;' on the #sidemenucontainer DIV but if I use relative positioning (so it's in the correct place relative to the centred layout ie: not stuck in the top left corner of the browser), then it pushes the main page content down to underneath the menu, rather than appearing 'above' the page.
I can prepare some sample code if required, but I was hoping the above made sense. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks!
Absolute means absolute in relation to the nearest relatively positioned parent div.
By giving your wrapper a position of relative and your side menu a position of absolute you'll be positioning the side menu within the wrapper.
You'll need the side menu positioned absolutely so that you can move it over the top of other items, in this case, the main content.
Here's a sample: http://jsfiddle.net/RLcFf/
I am developing a website where the menu it should be the end of the page. Besides the menu, another div with two images should also sit at the bottom of the page.
Follow the link to the complete source code of the page;
In red, the menu should be aligned at the bottom of the page, aligned to the center of div#leftcontent.
In the div#blue social-networks must be aligned at the bottom of the page, aligned to the center of the div#nav.
When I say bottom, I mean right at the end of the page.
If you mean not statically positioned, but just naturally occurring at the bottom of the page even when the sidebar content causes the page to exceed beyond the main content under which the bottom nav occurs, then you are out of luck using divs. This is one of CSS 2.1's major shortcomings.
You are left with two options:
Use a table for the basic layout
Use javascript to dynamically position the div based on the length of the sidebar
It's up to which you want to choose, but the javascript option will not work for people with javascript disabled, such as older mobile browsers.
