I have a page with fixed width and I am trying to put borders on it, left and right without success.
I know how to show borders but I cannot make them to reach the bottom of the page and stay there, unlees I set my divs to position:fixed which is not desired for my content div since I want it to scroll. is there a way to get around it?
Here is my css file (the code as shone below makes my borders go until 1/3 of my window even if I set body height:100%) - Thank you in advance:
body {

The old school answer to this problem is to use Faux Columns -
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/
The idea is that you actually use a background image on your body element that is 1px tall, and as wide as you want, including the 'border' as part of the image, and to tile the image vertically.
True, it doesn't rely on CSS borders, and making changes involves image editing, but it is reliable.
For the most part, I've found approaching web design with the idea of a fixed height to be problematic, and I try to avoid it.
It sounds like there is another css rule conflicting with your border rule. So what I would do to begin with, is:
remove all css rules.
apply your css border rule.
Re-add your other rule one at a time till the styles break over the problem rule.
This will narrow down the problem, and make the solution easier to find.
Aside from that, you could try applying the border styles to the <html> tag. Hope this helps!
You might try setting a static height:
height: 768px;
If you are looking to make a fluid (% - based) height scheme in CSS, that is really tough. You might try using jQuery to get the window height and style your elements according to that:
var divHeight = $(document).height();
$('#yourDivId').height(divHeight);

I am a new css programmer and there is a very annoying problem in my code. when I put the grey bars in they are not touching the left side of the screen they touch the right side but not the left side and I do not know why there is nothing in my code that is stopping them so I do not know why it would be doing that please help me fix it thanks! (the big white space in the middle is supposed to be there it is for a picture.)

By default the body on the page has this css:
body {
display: block;
margin: 8px;
}
body:focus {
outline: none;
}
at the top of your css file just add:
body {
margin:0;
}
this way you're working with 0 margins to begin with.
Margins of <body> don't matter because those grey bars are absolutely positioned to the right therefore they stick to the right side of <html> element. If the screen resolution (the width of your screen or window) is bigger then the width: 1870px;, they are gonna stick to the right side and leave an empty space on the left.
If you want those grey boxes to always stick to both sides of your screen, use width: 100%; or no width and left: 0; instead:
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
or
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
Both will stretch the element to the width of their parent element.
But it is good to set the body's position to relative and get rid of its default margins. In my opinion, you shouldn't use the <html> tag for styling. It will make those absolutely positioned grey boxes stick to the sides of <body> and not <html>:
body {
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}

Hi I basically have this text block, which sits inside a Div that displays a confirmation. I want it to be in the middle of the page on top of the image instead of it being at the bottom. How can I do this?
This is my code, I want process to be in the middle of the page on top of the image

<h2 id="siteTitle">Westend</h2>

</body>
</html>
This is my CSS
#process {
text-align: center;
font-family: San-Serif;
font-size: 20px;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #1a1a1a;
background-color: #802000;
width: 450px;
height: 270px;
margin-top: 25px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 750px;
border: 1px solid white;
padding-bottom:2px;
box-shadow: 3px 4px 5px grey;
clear: inherit;
}
You can use absolute position as follows:
#process {
position: absolute;
top: calc(50% - 135px);
left: calc(50% - 225px);
text-align: center;
font-family: San-Serif;
font-size: 20px;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #1a1a1a;
background-color: #802000;
width: 450px;
height: 270px;
border: 1px solid white;
padding-bottom:2px;
box-shadow: 3px 4px 5px grey;
clear: inherit;
}
here is the codepen, hope this helps
I don't think this is the right solution for your problem.
You may consider to add .process background-image with background-size: contain.
And then centerize the element .process with position absolute:
.process{
background-image: url("../images/curtains.jpg");
background-size: contain;
background-position: center;
position: absolute;
width: 450px;
height: 270px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -225px;
margin-top: -135px;
}
You can do it using different approaches. One way to achieve your desired behavior is to put your div positioning out of the normal flow of the page, setting its position to absolute. This way you need also to set the properly positioning properties (top, left) to center the element within the page:
#process {
position: absolute;
width: 450px;
height: 270px;
top: 50%; /* distance from top border */
left: 50%; /* distance from left border */
margin-left: -225px; /* half the width */
margin-top: -135px; /* half the height */
}
Continuing my last question on this thread (Play button centred with different image/video sizes), I will open this one regarding to #Marc Audet request.
Basically I had this code:
.playBT{
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
top: 25%;
left: 25%;
margin-left: -25px;
margin-top: -25px;
}
However I can't use the example given by Marc on the last thread, because the play button doesn't work as expected when the video size changes...
Here is the code
You need to tweak your HTML a bit, here is one way of doing it:
<div id="video-panel">
<div id="video-container" class="video-js-box">
<div id="play" class="playBT"><img class="imgBT" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RnPjQOr3PSw/Teflrf1dTaI/AAAAAAAAAbc/zQbRMLQmUAY/s1600/player_play.png" /></div>
<video id="video1">
<source src="http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4"/>
</video>
</div>
<div id="video-controls">
<div id="footerplay"><img src="http://www.cssaddons.com/uploads/goruntulenme/jQueryPausePlay/images/play.png" /></div>
<div id="footerpause"><img src="http://www.cssaddons.com/uploads/goruntulenme/jQueryPausePlay/images/pause.png" /></div>
<div id="progressbar">
<div id="chart"></div>
<div id="seeker"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and the CSS is as follows:
#video-panel {
border: 4px solid blue;
padding: 4px 50px;
}
.video-js-box {
width: auto;
height: auto;
outline: 1px dotted blue;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
video {
outline: 1px dotted blue;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
}
#play {
position:absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
outline: 1px dotted red;
}
.imgBT{
width:50px;
height:50px;
vertical-align: bottom;
margin-left: -25px;
margin-top: -25px;
}
#video-controls {
outline: 1px solid red;
overflow: auto;
}
#footerplay {
float: left;
margin-left: 27px;
}
#footerpause {
float: left;
margin-left: 27px;
}
#progressbar {
float: left;
outline: 1px dotted black;
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
height: 27px;
margin-left: 27px;
}
#footerplay img, #footerpause img{
height:27px;
}
Fiddle Reference: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/EnDHw/
Explanation & Details
User a wrapper div to keep everything tidy, video-panel, and use a separate div for the video video-container and for the controls video-controls.
The play button and the <video> element are positioned with respect to the video-container and note the negative margin trick to position the arrow button image.
The control elements can be positioned in their own div video-controls. I simply floated them to the left with a 27px left margin.
This should help you get started. The outlines and borders are for illustration only and are optional.
Good luck!
Please look at the code below. If you look at the diagram of the body, each colour represents different content on the right. However, these links won't work in IE, I assume due to the CSS I have written.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can replicate this in IE?
HTML:
<div id="male">
<img src="male1.png" alt="male1 Compensation Calculator" title="male" width="130" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-117" /></p>
<div class="head"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
<div class="neck"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
<div class="arm1"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
<div class="arm2"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
<div class="torso"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
<div class="legs"><span class="whole fakelink"></span></div>
</div>
CSS:
div.head {
position: absolute;
width: 70px;
margin-left: 31px;
height: 70px;
}
div.neck {
position: absolute;
height: 6px;
width: 18px;
margin: 70px 0px 0px 56px;
}
div.arm1 {
position: absolute;
height: 105px;
width: 30px;
margin: 77px 0px 0px 100px;
}
div.arm2 {
position: absolute;
height: 105px;
width: 30px;
margin: 77px 0px 0px 0px;
}
div.torso {
position: absolute;
height: 118px;
width: 70px;
margin: 77px 0px 0px 31px;
}
div.legs {
position: absolute;
height: 105px;
width: 69px;
margin: 195px 0px 0px 31px;
}
.whole {
width:100%;
height:100%;
display:block;
}
.fakelink {
color:white;
font-weight:bold;
}
.fakelink:hover {
cursor: pointer;
text-decoration:none;
}
I know of only two solutions to fix this issue, though they both ultimately come down to needing a background:
Option 1
Set a background-color on .fakelink that is not transparent. Whilst clearly in your case this wouldn't be very helpful it will illustrate the need for a background.
If you were only needing to support IE9, I would suggest using rgba with a low alpha opacity:
.fakelink{ background-colour: rgba(255,255,255,0.01) }
Option 2
Use a small transparent .png or .gif and tile it as the background-image for .fakelink
I have a CSS problem that I'm not able to figure out. I'm not even sure it is possible. What I want is the following:
I have three buttons/tabs like this http://sv.tinypic.com/r/21cf85t/6 and when you click one tab a different div should show for each tab like this http://sv.tinypic.com/r/21l5y85/6 or http://sv.tinypic.com/r/2dbrv5u/6.
I know how to show/hide the divs with jQuery but the problem is that the divs will increase in height http://sv.tinypic.com/r/k2xxfb/6 and then they will push the other tabs and divs down. Is there a way to create what I am trying to do?
I'm not a guru in CSS so if you have an example to look at or can post code here I would be very very thankful!
This is the HTML I'm using for my tabs:
<div class="MainContent">Content</div>
<div class="TabsHolder">
<div id="Tab1">
<div style="width:200px">
Content Tab 1
</div>
</div>
<a class="Button1" href="#Tab1"></a>
<div class="clearer"></div>
<div id="Tab2">
<div style="width:200px">
Content Tab 2
</div>
</div>
<a class="Button2" href="#Tab2"></a>
</div>
CSS:
.MainContent {
float: left;
}
.TabsHolder
{
float: left;
}
.Button1
{
float: left;
margin: 100px 0px 20px 0px;
background: url(images/Button1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 79px;
width: 27px;
}
#Tab1
{
width: 200px;
margin: 80px 0px 20px 0px;
border: solid 1px #ACCD45;
position: relative;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}
.Button2
{
float: left;
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
background: url(images/Button2.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 97px;
width: 27px;
}
#Tab2
{
width: 200px;
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
border: solid 1px #ACCD45;
position: relative;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
}
div.clearer
{
clear: both;
margin: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding: 0px;
line-height: 0px;
height: 0px;
width: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
Here is what I put together using pure CSS - Tested in Firefox, IE8 and Chrome (not sure about others). Try out a demo here.
Note: I wanted to make a comment about one thing in your original HTML - you can't add a background image to a link <a> tag.
CSS
.MainContent {
float: left;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
background: #444;
}
.buttons {
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 10px 0;
width: 27px;
clear: both;
}
.Button1 {
background: #555 url(images/Button1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 79px;
}
.Button2 {
background: #555 url(images/Button2.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 97px;
}
.Button3 {
background: #555 url(images/Button3.png) no-repeat 0 0;
height: 127px;
}
.tabsHolder {
float: left;
position: relative;
}
.tabs {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 0 0 20px 0;
border: solid 1px #ACCD45;
background: #444;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 20px;
display: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
#tab1 { top: 0; }
#tab2 { top: 98px; }
#tab3 { top: 215px; }
a:hover .tabs {display: block;}
HTML
<div class="MainContent">Content</div>
<div class="tabsHolder">
<a href="#tab1"><div class="buttons Button1">1</div>
<div id="tab1" class="tabs">
Content tab 1
</div>
</a>
<a href="#tab2"><div class="buttons Button2">2</div>
<div id="tab2" class="tabs">
Content tab 2
</div>
</a>
<a href="#tab3"><div class="buttons Button3">3</div>
<div id="tab3" class="tabs">
Content tab 3
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
You will need to define the pages (divs to hide/show) and tabs in two separate divs.
These will want to be floated next to each other, so you will have something like
<div class="pages">
<div class="page" id="tab1">....</div>
<div class="page" id="tab2">....</div>
</div>
<div class="tabs">
<div class="tab">Tab 1</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 2</div>
</div>
You can then set a min-height on pages (height for IE6, put into a conditional stylesheet), set pages and tabs to both float left, both with fixed widths.
Finally when you attach your event to $('#tab a'), make sure you iterate over all the pages hiding the non-relevant ones.
Without JavaScript, you cannot hide one of your divs, you can only have an HTML page per tab (like this or this).
If you want something more dynamic, you should use JavaScript. The tabs system is a built-in component of jQuery, for instance. (Homepage, live demo).
Hope that'll help you.
