The following is a pretty simple liquid code template, where I keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor and a min-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too narrow. The container surrounds all other divs giving them their percentage-based width.
body {
font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #CCC;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
}
.container {
width: 90%;
max-width: 1260px;
min-width: 780px;
background: #FFF;
margin: 0 auto;
}
When browsing on pages with only low content, the body doesn’t shrink, move or shake (because the scrollbar doesn’t appear). When browsing between the different kind of pages (low content-no scrollbar and high content-scrollbar appears) the body moves a little bit and causes the whole web site browsing, a shaking look.
How to avoid the above page movements?
I don’t want to achieve a solution by setting overflow:scroll; since I don’t want always displaying the scrollbars.
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks, Mike
Have you tried overflow: auto;? It will take both the X and Y scroll bars into account separately and only show the scroll bar if necessary.
If, as #pinkgothic suggested in the comments below, you want to always show the vertical scroll bar, try overflow-y: scroll;.
To always hide the horizontal scrollbar, use overflow-x: hidden;

I have been trying to set my footer in my web for a while with no luck..
The footer sticking to the bottom of the screen, and if there is scroll-bar, so when I scroll down, it will slide up...
I want it to stick to the bottom but not like position: fixed (if there is scroll-bar, then I don't want to see the footer until I scroll to the bottom).
There is 3 main components in my web (header, content and footer).
This is the footer css:
background: #929191;
border-top: 1px black solid;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
I have tryed changing html and body to "height: 100%" but the only thing that was almost like I wished for, was when it made the height bigger than the screen.
It was like height: 110% (even though the sum of heights was 100%).
I Tryed to reduce it, until I fit but it every little change in the UI make troubles.
I would very appreciate any help..
Sounds like you are looking for <footer>. Keep in mind it won't work in early versions of Internet Explorer. Here is some more information. Let me know if this works out.
Try this on your footer -
.footer {
position: relative;
bottom: -500px; // you can adjust the negative value
}
I'm trying to get a simple page layout where the navbar sits vertically along the right side of the user's window, taking up no more than 20% of the available space. The remaining 80% of space to the left is used for content.
I want the entire page to be resizable, so no matter how big or small the browser window is (within reason), the content will resize to the user's screen. Everything works and resizes great, but there's one problem with the navBar. Here's a CSS excerpt:
body{
background-color: #111111;
font-family: Roboto;
color: #cccccc;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
#navBar{
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00C9FF;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}
#welcome{
background-color: #222222;
text-align: center;
margin: 1%;
}
The Problem:
If I leave the code above as is, the navBar renders on the right side of the screen, as it should, but it is not 100% the height of the browser window. Note it still resizes when the browser window's WIDTH is changed.
If I set navBar's position to absolute (position: absolute) the navbar renders exactly how it should render, except it floats to the left side of the browser, basically making it on the complete opposite side of where it should be.
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/YPyvzO (remove position: absolute to see where the navBar SHOULD render)
I have tried several different things including setting "HTML" in CSS to height: 100% and several different position properties for navbar, all to no avail. I'd like for this to be done only in CSS, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Add the following:
position: absolute;
right: 0;
to #navBar. One thing that took me a long time to understand is that position: absolute overrides everything, even floats.
when you resize the browser the width and height change, so for this purpose you have to use media query in CSS and in this you have to tell the browser that in this width the navbar should be in given width. and another option is that you can use bootstrap, in bootstrap you not write too much css. and all the work become easy.
I've gone through CSS validation (which did find some pesky unclosed tags, sorted now).
I'm trying to align an image to the top right side of my page, with title text on the top left.
I can do this, but when I resize the browser window the image always wants to overlap the title text before either of them resize. If I remove the margins that I've used to place the image then the image sits under the title text (and to the right) instead of just to the right of it, but I feel removing this (while keeping the positioning) might be key. I do need the image to be overlapped by some other elements though.
Here's a snippet of my code for the image:
img#site-logo {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
margin: -12.87em 2em -16em 0px;
}
And for the site title:
#site-title a {
font-size: 4.875em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 78px;
padding: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}

There are surely several different approaches to solve your problem.
But in my eyes it would be the best solution to set a min-width for your #page element.
#page{
min-width:900px;
}
I have played a little bit around with the width and think a min-width of 900 px fits best in your case.
This problem has been perplexing me for a while now, and I've tried researching it but so far I've just turned up sites that tell me how to center things but that's not the problem. The problem is that while #content looks like it's centered, when the page takes up more than one screen it causes the #content to appear about 5px to the left of where it appears when it is less than one screen in height. Is there a way to fix this without forcing my shorter pages to reach the bottom screen or beyond?
Here's how I'm centering my content:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#content {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
}
I'll admit that there's a couple more divs in there, but I don't that's really relevant to this problem...
#asc99c is right.
The scroll bar is causing your problem.
When it appears, it pushes everything over.
To solve this (if you must), you could make your pages taller than 100%. Something like
body, html{
height:100%;
}
div{
height:101%;
}
With div being your main content div.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jasongennaro/7NYnS/
The following CSS will force the vertical sidebar to appear, even on pages that are shorter than the viewport height. This will prevent the horizontal shift that you're noticing.
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-y: scroll;
}

If you will notice when you visit... http://www.thebattleforarcadia.com/construction/index.html when you shrink the size of the screen the top bar content overflows it's parent div and runs over the rest of the website.
What I want to do is, if in-case the resolution of the receiving end is too small, I want to force them to have to use the scrollbar at the bottom so they can see everything. Just so the website is displayed properly.
Any coding ideas?
Thank you,
Aaron
Add...
min-width: 1260px;
at the
#news-container
css rule.
Your website will display fine in 1280x** resolutions but there will be a vertical scrollbar in anything less than that (in width).
Perhaps you could make the min-width 960px and make the text expand in two lines (pushing the top graphic a bit) ? Just a suggestion
EDIT: here's an example
#news-content {
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-top: 12px;
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#news-container {
width: 100%;
background: url(images/news-background.png) repeat-x left bottom;
z-index: 10;
}
#news-header {
width: 150px;
height: 23px;
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
}
The above example will make the header "Expand" when the resolution is shrinked without forcing screenwidth < 1280px users to use the vertical scrollbar
Give the body element or any other element that is setting the width you want a min-width to match that. This should make sure that whenever the page is being viewed on a smaller resolution have a horizontal scroll-bar
