CSS footer width issue - css

I'm currently working on this site and I want the footer to be 100% (width) of the screen but it has refused to respond no matter what I do. I've checked to see if the ID has a duplicate but I saw nothing. The CSS code is as shown below:
#footer {
width: 100%;
clear: both;
height: 400px;
background-color: #293D61;
}

Your footer is a nested div inside #rack. At 100%, your footer will only be as wide as your outer/parent div. You need to move it out of the parent div and make it a sibling

Try doing it this way,
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
clear: both;
height: 400px;
background-color: #293D61;
}

Check whether your footer is is in inside some other div...? if so then it will not be of full page length....

How to get image to show on top of header image

I gave my sidebar a negative top margin to display an image over top of the header yellow image but I can't get the sidebar image to show on top. I have added position: relative and played with the z-index but nothing is working.
Here is the page
Here's the css code I have -
.reciperight {
float: right;
width: 28%;
color: #512e70 !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
position: relative;
margin-top: -200px;
}
I checked your page and there is a CSS code in your parent #primay div that makes the image hidden.
change the overflow from hidden to visible and your issue will fix like bellow.
#primary {
float: left;
overflow: visible;
width: 100%;
}
Result
#primary {
float: left;
/* overflow: hidden; */
width: 100%;
}
If you use overflow:hidden then it was hidden outside of content so remove overflow:hidden.

Fixed left navigation + remaining space

I'm trying to achieve the following with CSS:
I want a fixed sidebar with navigation, so that when you scroll down, the sidebar stays in it's place. The remaining space on the right should be filled up with my content, as if it were the body at 100%.
However, my problem is that the right part takes exactly 300px more space on the right, resulting in a horizontal scroll bar.
I can't fid a solution on my own, can anybody help me? Thanks a lot! :)
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/ALGpP/4/
nav {
height: 100%;
width: 300px;
position: fixed;
z-index:99;
}
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
margin-left:300px;
}
Do you mean something like this?
I gave the #wrapper element some new CSS properties:
height: 1200px;
background-color: red;
The height: 1200px is in this case just for testing, to make the page longer.
The background-color: red is also just for testing to make it more visible.
Your nav element i have given the following css properties:
height: 100%;
width: 20%;
position: fixed;
background-color: green;
The height: 100% is used to make the element fill the page in the height
The width: 20% is used to make it 20% width.
The position: fixedis to make the element stick to a certain point at the page.
The background-color is used for testing, so you can see better what you're doing.
Also, i reccomend using a CSS reset. This is a really simple one im using in the fiddle:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
It basicly selects all elements and gives it a margin and padding of 0.
If you want the nav element to be 300px wide, use this fiddle.
Fix for the content that wasnt showing
Add the following properties to your #wrapper element:
width: calc(100% - 300px);
float: right;
So it looks like this:
#wrapper {
width: calc(100% - 300px);
height: 1200px;
background-color: red;
float: right;
}

Why do contents flow under a fixed DIV?

I have a fixed DIV. The page contents should be displayed after the DIV, but they are under the DIV - partially hidden by it. How can I avoid this?
Here is the DIV's style:
#top_div {
position: fixed;
float: left;
top:0;
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background-color: black;
}
we do not know your entire code, but if it is like
<div id="container">
<div id="fixed">fixed</div>
//a lot of html code here
</div>
put some top-padding to the .container div, padding equal to the height of the fixed div
Take a look at this.
Fixed Div
HTML:
<div>Fixed div</div>Can we see this?
CSS:
div {
position: fixed;
}
Now without fixed
HTML:
<div>Not Fixed div</div>Can we see this?
CSS:
div {
}
Just to show you what the difference is. You can see the div as position: fixed is sitting on top of the content after. The div will stay in that place always on screen. Thats what fixed does. You do not want this (I don't think as you didn't explain what you want it to do) so just remove it.
Example of position:fixed working on a page that can scroll, you will see it is always on the screen.
Example Here
Do not used fixed as this is what causes the problem for you.
I think you are trying to achieve this (http://jsfiddle.net/6Q9w4/8/)
.header {
height: 20%;
background-color: #4679bd;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
.content {
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding: 10px;
overflow: scroll;
}

Make div stretch to length of it's content and beyond if parent div is longer?

I want to make a div (my sidebar) stretch to the bottom of the page. I know that I need to add "height: 100%;" in order to do that.
But when I add height: 100%;, pages that have less content than the sidebar cuts the sidebar's height and then you can't see the sidebar content.
This is the index page . Everything looks exactly the way I want it to.
This is a sample page . Notice that the sidebar has been cut.
CSS:
#menu-container {
background-image: url('floral.png');
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
#menu {
background-image: url('menubg.png');
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 20px;
color: #e8e8e8;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
width: 1000px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks in advance!

The changed CSS fixed my second problem but now I'm back to the cut off sidebar on shorter pages: See here: http://www.tarawilder.com/staging/?page_id=19
I'm leaving my house now, I'll be able to respond later tonight. Thanks again for your help!
#container {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 900px;
}
try this..it will give you the result you want..though there are many other mistakes in your html markup
some other areas where you need to be careful...
your container's width is 900px..which contains side menu and the large text...combined width of your side menu and the large text is far greater than your 900px width of your container..as you are not using overflow:hidden; you cant see the effect...why dont you apply overflow:auto; width:100% or something like that
BETTER CSS::
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
ACCORDING TO YOUR NEW PROBLEM :: now your body height must be more than 100% now..thats why after 100% height your side menu becomes invisible
CHANGED CSS ::
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
your third problem ::
strange...you are now using width:100% for your cantainer..and your container contains side menu and large text...and side menu has width of 300px and then your having width of 1000px for large text..so naturally the overflowed part ot the text gets invisible; and also remove position:absolute; from container
now your css
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
vertical-align: top;
}
NOTE:: don't delete your edited part of your question..you have already deleted the 2nd edit you made to your question earlier...it will create difficulties for future users to relate the answer with question
Make sure that your parent containers (#container, body, html) are height:100%; as well.
Personally, I would do something like this(if the rest of the site layout allows it):
Instead of creating separate backgrounds for #menu, #menu-caontainer and body i would create background on body something like this: http://cl.ly/image/3L060f2w3Z0s
that would repeat vertically on y axis, so no matter how high the body is the background would stretch/repeat to the bottom.

CSS height 100% issue

I know there are a lot of questions about a css 100% height problem.
However I've tried to follow the instructions there and still the height isn't 100%,
so I thought I'd ask the question again.
The site where you can see the problem is:
www.exendo.be
some css styles:
html {
height: auto !important;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background: url("/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bg.png") repeat-x scroll 0 100px #F2F7E8;
height: auto !important;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
wrapper {
height: auto !important;
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
footer-container {
background: url("/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/exendo-footer_bg.png") no-repeat scroll center bottom #557F40;
height:146px;
}
As you can see on the site, the footer is too high on the page.
If I inspect the page with Firebug, I can see that the html is 100% height, but the body tag isn't.
The problem both occurs on Firefox and IE.
If anybody could help that would be great!
A number of people suggested position:absolute; bottom:0;
This can cause an issue if the content is taller than the container. The height will not increase so the content will no longer fit and can get cut off or result in ugly scroll bars.
If you can give a fixed height to the container, this is ideal since the height:100% will then work on the child element. In case the content is too large, you can put a background on the child with overflow:visible on the parent, so the content still displays. This helps, but it can still break unless the child is the same width as the parent.
If that doesn't work, I recommend using min-height in em or pixels. This will make sure the height fills the parent, and expands if the content is too long. This worked best for customer comments on www.baka.ca
I think this article can help you.
According to this article:
Assign "position:relative" to your "container" div - page, page-container, or wrapper (I'm not sure to which one of the three, just try), and then "position:absolute; bottom:0;" to your "footer-container" div.
I hope that helps you.
#denappel; give html & body 100% height put footer outside of your main div wrapper & give margin-bottom in minus according to the height of footer.
css:
.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 700px;
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0 auto -142px;
background:yellow;
}
.header {
height: 190px;
background:green;
}
.footer {
position: relative;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background:red;
}
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -142px;
.footer, .push {
height: 142px;
}
