I have the problem that a div is not scaling over the full page when the page is not fully seen, i.e. scroll bars appear at the bottom.
Scales fine:
Does not scale fine when seen part is too small:
How can this be fixed? Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gdztn/29/
Clarification: The inner div must always be 800 px wide while the outter div should scale over the whole width of the page. As you can see in the second image, the outter div does not reach the right end of the page when scrollbars appear.
Thanks!
the problem is that the #head width is 100% and the inner div has a fixed width. if you scale the page down, it's still 100% but smaller than the inner div. it's like having a smaller container and an exceedingly bigger content which overflows.
to address this problem, you should set min-width of the #head to keep it from shrinking smaller than the inner div, like min-width: 850px

EDIT: also remove position:absolute from #head. if actually needed to be absolute, then add width:100%

I'm trying to stretch the div container to fit the whole window. However whenever I set the width and height to 100%, I still get vertical and horizontal scroll bars that barely scroll anything. Hiding it with:
overflow:hidden
hides it but then the border on the right and bottom are missing. I want the div to fit exactly as the size of the window.

What I tend to do in situations like this is tinker around with the unit I am using.
Step 1: Make sure your content doesn't have any padding or margin that causes your issue.
Step 2: I recommend setting your width to width: 100vw and height to height: 100vh. This stands for viewport width and viewport height and will expand your div to cover the whole screen when both are set to 100.
Ok I have a problem where one div's margin doesn't appear to stay relative to the previous div as the browser window re-sizes (height not width). This creates the problem where content overlaps as shown when in a wide browser. The picture bellow shows how in a narrow screen it works fine, however in the second picture you can see how the div has moved up based on the browser being made wider (27 inch imac).
If you go to: http://creativeabyss.co.uk/test/ you can see this effect for your self as you resize the window (You might need a big monitor). I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this, so I was wondering if any of you could help? The code should be available at the aforementioned link.
p.s I have set the background of one div to blue which illustrates that it is the size of this div which appears to be causing the issue...
Your problem is the fixed height on #OuterMenu. It is set to 300px, when you resize the browser window, the height of the content inside #OuterMenu decreases, but #OuterMenu is still 300px high, this causes some empty white-space to be displayed before the content which is rendered below it. Getting rid of the fixed height on #OuterMenu will fix this. It breaks on high resolutions because then the content inside #OuterMenu will be too high for its containing div which is only 300px high. In this case it will look like the content below this div is rendering over the top of the content inside #OuterMenu, but in fact it is the 300px height set on #OuterMenu which is limiting the space allowed for #OuterMenu to render its content within.
I have experienced a frustrating and interesting problem.
The design I am working on is based around a 100% height layout.
A site page always has an image.
Which can only ever be 800px in height.
A max-height of 100% is set on this image.
The results in a site that works nicely on large monitors, but on smaller screens the images will adjust meaning the site always fits nicely.

Because the site uses a horizontal scroll, I am making use of a position: fixed, on the #footer nav, to position the navigation in the bottom right.
However, when the screen has a height greater than 800px, this footer #nav remains in the bottom right corner.
I am trying to find a solution that would allow this fixed element, to be fixed, relative to the height of the container div. Meaning the navigation is always 1em above the bottom of the site layout.

Ok, got what you are after, took me a few mins!
I haven't got time to check this now, but it should (hopefully) work.
Create a container element, set to position fixed. Position that to the top right of the screen. Set the width to 0 and height to 100%. Also set a min-height of 800px.
Now, put your nav in there set to position absolute. Then set that to bottom 1em right 0.
That should work, I think...
Hope that helps :)
I have created fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/ozzy/WEGMh/
How it should look is here:
Issue is the left and right hand divs arent showing. I have tried z-index , but it must be something painfully obvious.
My code may be crap too..
The idea is the container height will be flexible. Container width fixed.
Header fixed width and height
left div will be fixed width and flexible height.
right div can just adopt left divs parameters.
footer div fixed width and height.
If that makes sense.
The left and right divs are showing, it's just that their height is zero.
They get their height from their content, and as there is nothing in them, the height becomes zero.
The default for a div is to fill up the available width, but not to fill up the available height.
Check my website, and see the Divisions left menu. When you have maximized your broswer there is no problem, but when you restore it to half of screen, the left menu overlaps to the right.
Here is the CSS code. Can someone help me?
It's because your "divisions" div is absolutely positioned.
You can remove "position: absolute" and increase the width of the "divisions" div to 300px.
Your left menu is absolutely positioned that's why it overlaps other content when window size is too narrow. But the solution for this problem is quite tricky and actually depends on what you want to achieve.
Percentage
One possible solutions would be to set width on "divisions" and "content" div in percentage. This way they'll never overlap. But it depends if you can afford to have dynamic width for your "content" div.
Repositioning
If your content must be fixed width... You'll first have to decide how would you like your content/menu to appear when window is too narrow (maybe even narrower than content width)... And work from there.
Body element width
Set minimum window content (as in <body>) width. Either by using:
transparent image at the beginning of your document <img src="t.gif" width="1250">
set body's minimum width css as min-width: 1250px; has to be 1250px wide, because content is centrally positioned, so it must have equal space on the left and on the right (right one being useless empty space just allowing non overlapping space on the left of content)
The last one is actually the simplest and works. It only makes it a bit wide for smaller screen sizes, but your content width (including menu on the left) already exceeds 1030px anyway...
A very straight-forward and simple
and quick-fix solution would be with CSS :
#content {style.css (line 17)
left:-270px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:30px 10px 0 550px;
position:relative;
width:780px;
}
I tried this in my Firebug and it worked fine. hope it'll suit you're needs :)
next time just use css floats:
put the side menu and the content div in a wrapper,
float:left for the menu, and give the wrapper a fixed width, and center align it.
you can also make the navigation menu go "out" from the left with negative left positioning it.
