I have a menu bar that has some child elements (including an input box, 2 dropdown menus, and 1 link to show a divbox under the menu bar). http://jsfiddle.net/thapar/GLwRr/
The menu bar currently conforms to the height of the child element with the greatest height. I would like to have the menu bar's other child elements to also respect the height of the largest child element. However, unless I give the menu bar an explicit height, height:100% on any of the children doesn't work.
Is there any way to have the child elements fill the height of the menu bar without using explicit heights in pixels/em's?
Setting the CSS on the container to display: table; and the child elements to display: table-cell; may give you the desired result.
If your container is relative, and your children are relative, you can do that by using the top: and bottom: css attributes.
Check out this jsbin project for what I'm talking about. Most projects have a well defined head section that maintains its height, so this solution would work in that case. If your layout is completely dynamic, I'm not sure how you can do that without a javascript solution.

Here is a JS Fiddle of the problem for reference:

I am having an issue where I am trying to get a vertical bootstrap nav menu to inherit the width of it's parent element, which is a CSS Grid column. For the sake of troubleshooting I have put the background of the grid column to red. So I am essentially trying to get the dark gray vertical nav on the left hand side to match the width of the red Grid column.
The bootstrap nav has id #settings-nav
I have tried the basic stuff like adding the bootstrap class w-100 to the nav ul or in the stylesheet adding width: 100%; however both of these make the menu stretch over the entire viewport instead of the parent element, which is the Grid column. It's behaving like the Grid column is not it's parent element, but using inspector I know that it is...
Please let me know where I am going wrong here. Thank you.
The problem ended up being that the #settings-nav was set to position:absolute, which makes it so that it ignores the dimensions of the parent element. Changed to position:relative and it works perfectly.
I am developing a store for a friend and I want to make the "ADD TO CART'S DIV" fixed when the users scrolls after it. As I am far from being a CSS expert I am facing problems with it.
I tried to use JS to add "position: fixed" to the div, but I cant do that because the div has a relative position and changing it do fixed mess up with all the div's elements
this is the link
and this is the div I want to make fixed (the div id is rightcol):
I would also want to make the div stop right before footer
Thanks in advance
Use this property to make div sticky on scroll
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
the header is your website is also sticky. you can use the same properties it works
You can use position sticky. sticky element works as fixed element with respect to its parent element. It will serve as fixed in the space provided by its parent.
So in order for your project. You need to restructure your html in such a way that sticky element should get enough space to behave as fixed element in that region.
I'm working on an interface that utilizes a list of items within a scrollable div, some of which utilize a rollover menu on hover that extends outside of the div. Disabled scripting compatibility is a priority for the site, so I'm trying to see if the interface can be done with only CSS before I start getting into other compromises.
I've got some examples below. The menu in question is on the right side with heading 'select projects'. The third list item from the top in each page contains a rollover menu.
In order to keep the rollovers positioned relative to the their parent when scroll position changes, I positioned the parent li's relative and the child ul's positioned absolute.
EXAMPLE 1
Of course, once overflow:auto is on and the scroll in place, the rollovers are cut off from displaying.
EXAMPLE 2
I tried removing the relative positioning of the parent li's, and retaining the absolute positioning of the rollovers to free them from the div, but then they do not position properly when scroll position is changed.
I can only post two links but if you want an illustration, it's here: eypaedesign.com/markets-rollover-issue-no-relative.htm
With the exception of changing the UI, is there a combination of properties I'm not seeing here that can be used to make this interface work on CSS? I could position the entire div as absolute, and add a large amount of left padding for the rollovers to appear in, but that seems pretty inelegant.
Thanks folks -
With only CSS, you are limited to only one or the other: overflow: auto or overflowing hover-menus. Using separate visible and auto properties for overflow-x and overflow-y doesn't work, so I think your best bet is to go with the padding solution you were considering.
With proper use of absolute positioning and z-index (in case you are concerned about padded menu container hit-blocking any elements under the padding), you should be able to do it without destroying the rest of your layout. You'll have to control the size of all child elements inside the scrollable container of course, so that they don't extend to the full width of their padded parent.
Adding these properties - with no other changes - seems to work on your site, so perhaps you can get away with it easily:
#project_menu {
padding-left: 300px;
margin-left: -300px;
}
.center {
position: relative;
z-index; 10;
}
if you put a height of 293px in your class nav it should be ok.
Or in you project_menu ID, As I can see that ID has a height of 218px and your UL is 293px.
By changing one of those 2 you should be ok. It depends on how you set it affect other element.
But using project_menu ID should be just good.
I have my menu working the way I want with the exception that menu elements are displayed from the top down as supposed to bottom up. I tried changing the CSS properties, but still can't get it working. I need my DIV container to be align on the bottom of the parent container. I used 'bottom: 0' CSS property but that doesn't have any affect using both 'position: absolute' and 'position: relative'.
How can I align all the elements within the parent DIV be displayed at bottom: 0 (bottom up)?
Then click on the Projects bottom link (refresh if you need to reset the menu items). I need that same behaviour I already have, just the menu items should start from the bottom up and be aligned all the way to the bottom.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Partizan
The best way to accomplish this is to either put the divs inside the sought after parent element. Ergo the <li> you want to associate these links with. Give the parent <li> a style of position:relative. The on hover set the position of the child div or li to abosulte and left:0;top:0;. Then from there you can style it closer or farther with margin.
Try using padding-top to push them down with an id or class on each sub menu.
Then if that fails, try using min-height: auto; on each parent.
I'm having a few problems trying to position some divs in my website layout. All of them is related to the div's size. I'm using Chrome's developer tools to inspect the divs and when I mouse over some divs it is just 1px-high, but it has content inside and its content has some height. Shouldn't it have at least the same height of its content?
I don't know if I explained well, so I'm posting some images. I'm using Blueprint CSS Framework and it happens when I use class="span-XX" and inside it I don't use neither class
Here is some images (click to zoom)
The parent div
The div with problem (no height)
The child div
The parent div has class="span-XX", the div with problem has only #search
which is this one
I suspect it is some float or positioning issue with css but I don't know what it is and how to deal with it. I have also a list containing the social networks on the top of the site which ul has the same problem.
If you have floats inside, you need to clear them. Apply overflow:hidden; zoom:1; to the parent containing the floats and it should resolve it.
If you have negative margins / position + relative and negative offset and cant use overflow hidden use a clearfix... http://work.arounds.org/clearing-floats/
Your child div has the float property set, so the parent div will not expand height-wise to contain it. To get the behavior you expect, set overflow: hidden on the parent div.
