I have the following situation. I have an image ( tag) and heading ( tag). I want to place heading on the image. How can I do it?
I tried to use negative margin http://jsfiddle.net/58H7c/1/ but in this case image lay on the heading. I tried to play with z-index - no effect.
Maybe you know better solution?
TIA!
PS
One another idea is to use image as a background. But in this case when I try to do padding for #imgPlace container - background image is stay on place (when the div-container was moved).
The correct way to do it:
Put them both in a container with position:relative;.
Put position:absolute; on the H1 only.
Put z-index:1 on the H1 only.
Alter left, right, top, bottom offsets of the H1 according to needs.
Profit.
Profit some more because you didn't break the flow of other surrounding elements.

For image
z-index:1;
position: relative;
For heading
z-index:10;
position: relative;

I used absolute positioning to put the header 5px from the left and top.

On my site, I want to have a 'div' at the bottom of the page. It has no fixed height, but should always start '200px' from the top of the page.
The problem I am having is that when the content of the 'div' is very long, it's background doesn't expand when you scroll down.
Here is my code: JSFiddle (updated)
I have tried working with height=auto and border=auto, but then the 'div' doesn't stretch to the page bottom when there is less content and you don't have to scroll down.
Update:
Sorry for miss expressing my problem: I need the 'div' to have position: relative because I need it to be positioned in the center of the page with left=10% and right=10%.
I also updated the JSFiddle.
Update 2:
I guess there is no perfect solution to this problem. What I will end up doing: Having two 'divs'. The first div will have the page content on it and will not show the background when there is less content; the other div will be behind the content-div and won't scroll at all, but it will show the background for the div in front when there is less content.
I've changed some 'design' from your original to be able to satisfy your requirement.
First, here's my jsfiddle
#top {
height:200px;
background:#FFF;
}
body {
background:red;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
What I've done is I've set the whole page background to red. Made the #top height 200px with white background, so the #bottom would be 200px apart from the top. Now the trick I've done is, the #bottom is actually isn't touching the bottom if it has less content, but what you see is the illusion from the body's background and #bottom's no background.
Change it to position relative will work in your example fiddle.
add height: auto; to your div's css
EDIT:
and remove bottom: 0;
Here is jsfiddle example
Here is the code..
<div id="xxx1">
<div class="xxx1">
txt
</div> </div>
And CSS
#xxx1{
border:1px solid black;
min-height:25px;
}
.xxx1{
border:1px solid green;
height:50px;
position:relative;
top:-50px;
}
I want to remove extra space from div id "xxx1". How to do that? And I cannot use fixed height cause I want that div to increase its height if I want to add some more data inside that div.
Here is jsfiddle example
Provided I understood the question, get rid of padding on body.
jsFiddle
body {
margin:0;
}
You may also find box-sizing:border-box useful which integrates border and padding into width and height
jsFiddle
#xxx1{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.xxx1{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Edit
RE: no.. I want to remove blank space inside div id "xxx1".
Well you can do that in a variety of ways, the right way would depend on what the context is. Here are a couple:
Position .xxx1 using position:absolute so it's taken out of the flow of the page. jsFiddle
Set height:0px and set it with JavaScript when you add content to it.
Here try to change it like this
.xxx1{
border:1px solid green;
height:auto;
position:relative;
}
you cant remove the spacing added by relative positioning. setting the padding and margin on the body wont do it. setting the box-sizing wont do it. setting the font size to 0 wont do it. doing something with javascript is just silly.
You have these options:
make the next item have a negative margin (ick).
float the item, tho this wont allow overlapping (if you need that)
set the outer div to a relative position and the item you want to move to absolute position (and set the top (or bottom) and left (or right) values. this positions the item you want to move according to its outer div (not the window).
Number 3 is almost always the best way to go. Think about how the page will change with variable content to make sure you choose the right option (and correct corner to position from).
If the outer div that you set to a relative position is not adjusted in space (using top/bottom/left/right), then that div does not have any extra unwanted space. If you need to adjust the outer div AND the inner div, set all moving divs as absolute, and the closest parent as relative; the movement (top/bottom/right/left) will be based on that relative parent.
I'm quite new to css, divs and everything in between.
So, i created a basic layout for my band, didn't want a bunch of useless links like bio, merch store and all that. So i just decided to arrange separate spaces for our video, a player and a facebook window.
I managed to create a div for the youtube iframe, but i can't get it to stay in its place when i resize the window. I've tried changing the positioning a bunch of times to absolute, fixed, relative...etc. No luck.
Keep in my mind that the layout is nothing fancy, just something quick to look at, and get some basic info of the band.
Here's the link: http://silentcellmusic.com/test.html
Thx in advance!
First you should remove the image from the markup, and set it as background of the body, or html, for example. Set it to position top center.
Then, set the div #wrapper to { width: 960px; margin 0 auto; }. This way it will always be in the center of screen, so as your background.
Third, create four divs:
social
listen
video
Float them to the left, set their widths and margins, accordingly.
Finally add a div for your footer (social links and mailto).
Best of luck.
What you need to do is use positions. What fixed does is determine the position in relation to the window (or browser) top left corner, so it will always stay in the same place no matter how you resize it. The right way to go is to use absolute and relative.
First you need a relative container. Your image is already centered, so you could do something like:
<div id="container">...</div>
#container {width:960px; margin:0 auto; position:relative;}
Then you want your video to be in an absolutely positioned div, but INSIDE the relative one. SO your html would be:
<div id="container">
<div id="videoDiv">
your video here
</div>
</div>
And your css for the videoDiv:
#videoDIv {position:absolute; top:200px; left:200px; }
Look por css position online to understand how it works, it's actually quite simple but you need the right structure. In your case, your center tag should be the one with position relative, but make sure you change it to a div, otherwise some browsers will give a validation error.
Having said that, there are a lot of things you can do to improve your site. Once you know how to handle positions, you could re-do the layout using different images (so it's faster to load), and you can use actual text. This is quite important for search engines to recognise your site, so try at least to have keywords spread around.
Here is your CSS for the video div:
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:747px;
top:535px;
width:400px;
height:223px;
z-index:1;
#wrapper {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:960px;
}
Did you mean to declare width twice? Is the width:960px throwing off your positioning?
Get rid of the <center> tag altogether and change the css for #apDiv1 to:
#apDiv1 {
position: absolute;
left: 597px;
top: 489px;
width: 400px;
height: 223px;
z-index: 1;
}
This should be really simple, and I thought I was doing it correctly...evidently not.
I need to get the light grey box that says "Test" into the darker grey area, to the right of the list on the left. It's supposed to be 270px tall (or whatever) and stretch to the right edge of the list on the left, and to the edge of the enclosing container on the right side.
Here's a Fiddle with my code. Easy peasy. Thanks, guys and gals.
There are two approaches to solving the problem, which stems from your use of float: right. You can either 1) Move the .theater gray box above the sidebar, and it will properly float to the right side of it, or 2) You can change the sidebar to float: left, remove the float from the gray box, and add a left margin.
Here's an example of the second approach.
You could also float both the sidebar and the gray box, but I would not suggest that.
You need to float:left or otherwise take the .revision-gutter div out of the flow
Floated left in my example: http://jsfiddle.net/trapper/f8yLh/1/
Just add float:left; to the .revision-gutter and your done!
YOUR CSS SHOULD BE
.revision-gutter {
width:270px;
height:inherit;
background-color:#333333;
overflow-y:scroll;
float: left;
}
And he updated Fiddle!
add float: left; to your revision-gutter class, and that should get you started.
I need to place an icon of 48x48 as background. I have this icon in my image sprite where of course there are many other images.
Is there a way to show as background only a porition of the image?
thanks
EDIT: Is there a way to do this without setting width-height of the backgrounded element? (I am not sure if acutally i can set a width-height)
Edit2: this is what i need: http://jsfiddle.net/pdxnj/
Thanks
Set the width and height of the element to 48px.
.element{
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
}
Set the background of the element to your image
.element{
background-image: url('image.png');
}
Move the background so that the top left corner of the icon is positioned correctly.
.element{
background-position: 20px 94px;
}
The two numbers in background-position are the X and Y coordinates (respectively) where the top left corner of your 48px by 48px is in your sprite image. So maybe it's actually 96px 0px or something.
EDIT
If you can't control the width and height of the element you are trying to put the background in, but you can add new DOM elements, you can try adding a span inside the element you really want to put the image as a background for.
It would look something like:
<div id="noControl">
<span id="justCreated">
</span>
</div>
and the CSS would look exactly the same as above, except you would need to treat the inline span as a block element:
#justCreated{
display: inline-block;
}
EDIT 2
If you have control over new DOM elements, and want to make your sprite the background without messing with a span, just add another div inside your original one.
Would wind up looking like:
<div id="noControl">
<div id="justCreated">
ALL of the content that used to be inside #noControl
</div>
</div>
and the CSS for it would be
#justCreated{
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
background-image: url('image.png');
background-position: 96px 0px;
z-index: -200;
/* z-index of all the contents needs to be not set, or set to larger than -200 */
}
This is all theoretical, but it SHOULD work.
This way, you can apply the sprite sizing to a block element without messing with the inline stuff. This may affect CSS if it addresses elements by child status (like #noControl > a), because you are inserting a div between the parent and the child.
I am still researching whether you can do this at all if you have no control over the DOM at all.
simple answer no, but by using html elements you can. Html element hight and width should match the background portion of image.
You can if you're not going to be setting a repeating background. Otherwise no.
To do this, you need to play around with the background offset, and width/height of the actual element that you're setting the background on.
it will depend on how much whitespace is around it in the sprite whether it will fit where you need it to without showing parts of other images.. however you could e.g. put a span where you want the image and crop the span to 48x48 so that it only shows the icon itself. it kind of depends what you want to use it for and how the sprite is built
It's better using ::before or ::after so you can easily define your image size without having overflow problems!
This is possible. You need to display that in a 48x48 div then set position: absolute style for the div and define left and top too for it. Also set z-index: 0 for the div so that it appears under everything.
