I'm trying to apply an overlay to create an effect similar to https://fancy.com when the login or signup link is clicked i.e the background should be dimmed.
The problem is that my nav bar and content boxes are not subjected to the overlay for some reason but not sure why?
I have created a fiddle to explain: https://jsfiddle.net/p861yfLp/1/
My Code:
<body>
<div class="overlay">
<nav>
Menu
</nav>
<div id="content">
<div class="box">
Box
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Change these files
CSS - set the position to absolute
.overlay {
position: absolute;
}
EDIT: Following #DaniP answer the changes to the css are not required if you want a 'modal' feel for the overlay. Tho if you want to overlay everything I would recommend using the absolute position.
HTML - no need to make your overlay contain all other html
<body>
<div class="overlay"></div>
<nav>
Menu
</nav>
<div id="content">
<div class="box">
Box
</div>
</div>
</body>
Now your overlay will 'overlay'.
The half-black background-color is actually applied, but the nav (as child-element) has its own background-color (#FFF) defined. If you remove its background-color, it works:
.nav {
background-color: transparent;
}

I'm having the same problem the author of this question exhibits with affix, specifically the authors comment on the accepted answer. The answerer provides a secondary solution, but this is unsatisfactory.
The issue occurs when all of the following conditions are present:
Affixed div is taller than view port
Affixed div is tallest part of page
User scrolls past affix-top
It is demonstrated in this JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/g1ns9k8o/3/ with the following code:
CSS:
.top-bit { height: 100px; }
.sidebar { width: 200px; padding: 10px; }
.sidebar.affix { top: 10px; }
HTML:
<div class="top-bit">
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-9">
<!-- short content -->
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">
<div class="sidebar" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="100">
<!-- long content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
I had this problem and ran into the jerky scroll movement. To fix it, I used JavaScript to compare the height of the affixed element to the element it is sitting next to. If the affixed height is less than the content height, set the affix. Otherwise, just let the affixed element sit where it is.
So, say it's a sidebar that I'm fixing next to a content element.
// Pseudocode
if (sidebar.height < content.height) {
$(sidebar).affix({});
}
I am using Zurb Foundation 5 to build a site. My site has a navigation panel against the left side of the screen. When open, I want the nav area to take up 3 columns. The actual content will take up the remaining space. Here is the HTML I have thus far:
<body>
<div style="width:100%; max-width:100%; height:100%;">
<div id="navDiv" class="large-3 columns" style="background-color:#2D2D2D;height:100%;">
<!-- Nav Items Go Here -->
</div>
<div class="large-9 columns">
<!-- Main Content Goes Here -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
Each nav item has an icon and some text. I need to be able to collapse the navDiv in a way that it shrinks down so that only the icons are showing. The text goes away. At the same time, I need the main content area to grow to take up the space that was used by the nav area. I cannot figure out how to do this in the realm of zurb. From what I can tell, the grid is not dynamic. Is it possible to do what I'm trying with a grid? If so, how?
THank you!
If you want to use Foundation (with jQuery dependency) and no other add-ons, you can use a jQuery event handler to toggle the classes used by Foundation. It feels like a hack, but it works.
HTML
<body>
<button>Toggle sidebar</button>
<div class="row">
<div id="navDiv" class="small-2 medium-1 columns">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/48"><span>Item 1</span>
</div>
<div id="content" class="small-10 medium-11 columns">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS
.small-2 span {
/* Hide text when sidebar is small */
display: none;
}
JavaScript + jQuery
$(function() {
$('button').click(function() {
// Resize sidebar
var navDiv = $('#navDiv');
navDiv.toggleClass('small-3');
navDiv.toggleClass('small-2');
navDiv.toggleClass('medium-2');
navDiv.toggleClass('medium-1');
// Resize content
var content = $('#content');
content.toggleClass('small-9');
content.toggleClass('small-10');
content.toggleClass('medium-10');
content.toggleClass('medium-11');
});
});
Demo on Plunker
I want to create alternating 100% colored blocks. An "ideal" situation is illustrated as an attachment, as well as the current situation.
Desired setup:
Currently:
My first idea was to create an div class, give it a background color, and give it 100% width.
.block {
width: 100%;
background: #fff;
}
However, you can see that this obviously doesn't work. It's confined to a container area. I tried to close the container and that didn't work either.
The container class is intentionally not 100% width. It is different fixed widths depending on the width of the viewport.
If you want to work with the full width of the screen, use .container-fluid:
Bootstrap 3:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
<div class="col-lg-6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8"></div>
<div class="col-lg-4"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Bootstrap 2:
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="span6"></div>
<div class="span6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span8"></div>
<div class="span4"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span12"></div>
</div>
</body>
QUICK ANSWER
Use multiple NOT NESTED .containers
Wrap those .containers you want to have a full-width background in a div
Add a CSS background to the wrapping div
Fiddles: Simple: https://jsfiddle.net/vLhc35k4/ , Container borders: https://jsfiddle.net/vLhc35k4/1/
HTML:
<div class="container">
<h2>Section 1</h2>
</div>
<div class="specialBackground">
<div class="container">
<h2>Section 2</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS: .specialBackground{ background-color: gold; /*replace with own background settings*/ }
FURTHER INFO
DON'T USE NESTED CONTAINERS
Many people will (wrongly) suggest, that you should use nested containers. Well, you should NOT.
They are not ment to be nested. (See to "Containers" section in the docs)
HOW IT WORKS
div is a block element, which by default spans to the full width of a document body - there is the full-width feature. It also has a height of it's content (if you don't specify otherwise).
The bootstrap containers are not required to be direct children of a body, they are just containers with some padding and possibly some screen-width-variable fixed widths.
If a basic grid .container has some fixed width it is also auto-centered horizontally.
So there is no difference whether you put it as a:
Direct child of a body
Direct child of a basic div that is a direct child of a body.
By "basic" div I mean div that does not have a CSS altering his border, padding, dimensions, position or content size. Really just a HTML element with display: block; CSS and possibly background.
But of course setting vertical-like CSS (height, padding-top, ...) should not break the bootstrap grid :-)
Bootstrap itself is using the same approach
...All over it's own website and in it's "JUMBOTRON" example:
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/jumbotron/
This is how you can achieve your desired setup with Bootstrap 3:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row"> <!-- Give this div your desired background color -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
... your content here ...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The container-fluid part makes sure that you can change the background over the full width. The container part makes sure that your content is still wrapped in a fixed width.
This approach works, but personally I don't like all the nesting. However, I haven't found a better solution so far.
There is a workaround using vw. Is useful when you can't create a new fluid container.
This, inside a classic 'container' div will be full size.
.row-full{
width: 100vw;
position: relative;
margin-left: -50vw;
left: 50%;
}
After this there is the sidebar problem (thanks to #Typhlosaurus), solved with this js function, calling it on document load and resize:
function full_row_resize(){
var body_width = $('body').width();
$('.row-full').css('width', (body_width));
$('.row-full').css('margin-left', ('-'+(body_width/2)+'px'));
return false;
}
In bootstrap 4, you can use 'w-100' class (w as width, and 100 as 100%)
You can find documentation here:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/sizing/
If you can't change the HTML layout:
.full-width {
width: 100vw;
margin-left: -50vw;
left: 50%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">a</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">b</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 full-width">c</div>
<div class="col-xs-12">d</div>
</div>
</div>
Demo: http://www.bootply.com/tVkNyWJxA6
Sometimes it's not possible to close the content container.
The solution we are using is a bit different but prevent a overflow because of the
firefox scrollbar size!
.full-width {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
position: relative;
width: calc(100vw - 10px);
margin-left: calc(-50vw + 5px);
left: 50%;
}
Here is a example: https://jsfiddle.net/RubbelDeKatz/wvt9253q
Instead of
style="width:100%"
try using
class="col-xs-12"
it will save you 1 character :)
Sorry, should have asked for your css as well. As is, basically what you need to look at is giving your container div the style .container { width: 100%; } in your css and then the enclosed divs will inherit this as long as you don't give them their own width. You were also missing a few closing tags, and the </center> closes a <center> without it ever being open, at least in this section of code. I wasn't sure if you wanted the image in the same div that contains your content or separate, so I created two examples. I changed the width of the img to 100px simply because jsfiddle offers a small viewing area. Let me know if it's not what you're looking for.
content and image separate: http://jsfiddle.net/QvqKS/2/
content and image in same div (img floated left): http://jsfiddle.net/QvqKS/3/
I would use two separate 'container' div as below:
<div class="container">
/* normal*/
</div>
<div class="container-fluid">
/*full width container*/
</div>
Bare in mind that container-fluid does not follow your breakpoints and it is a full width container.
I'd wonder why someone would try to "override" the container width, since its purpose is to keep its content with some padding, but I had a similar situation (that's why I wanted to share my solution, even though there're answers).
In my situation, I wanted to have all content (of all pages) rendered inside a container, so this was the piece of code from my _Layout.cshtml:
<div id="body">
#RenderSection("featured", required: false)
<section class="content-wrapper main-content clear-fix">
<div class="container">
#RenderBody()
</div>
</section>
</div>
In my Home Index page, I had a background header image I'd like to fill the whole screen width, so the solution was to make the Index.cshtml like this:
#section featured {
<!-- This content will be rendered outside the "container div" -->
<div class="intro-header">
<div class="container">SOME CONTENT WITH A NICE BACKGROUND</div>
</div>
}
<!-- The content below will be rendered INSIDE the "container div" -->
<div class="content-section-b">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
MORE CONTENT
</div>
</div>
</div>
I think this is better than trying to make workarounds, since sections are made with the purpose of allowing (or forcing) views to dynamically replace some content in the layout.
Though people have mentioned that you will need to use .container-fluid in this case but you will also have to remove the padding from bootstrap.
The following answer is not exactly optimal by any measure, but I needed something that maintains its position within the container whilst it stretches the inner div fully.
https://jsfiddle.net/fah5axm5/
$(function() {
$(window).on('load resize', ppaFullWidth);
function ppaFullWidth() {
var $elements = $('[data-ppa-full-width="true"]');
$.each( $elements, function( key, item ) {
var $el = $(this);
var $container = $el.closest('.container');
var margin = parseInt($container.css('margin-left'), 10);
var padding = parseInt($container.css('padding-left'), 10)
var offset = margin + padding;
$el.css({
position: "relative",
left: -offset,
"box-sizing": "border-box",
width: $(window).width(),
"padding-left": offset + "px",
"padding-right": offset + "px"
});
});
}
});
This must work (Mobile phone as well as Desktop screen):
class: alignfull and class: img-fluid will do the magic.
<div class="alignfull">
<img class="img-fluid" style="background-size: cover;
background-position: center ;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: auto;
min-width: 100%;
width: -moz-available; "
src="{{ $image->image }}" alt="An image">
</div>

thanks in advance
Just put an ids on the body to differentiate between the pages with and without a sidebar. (I assume you are using display: none; or not including the sidebar and not using visibility: none;), if you are using the latter, then change it to display: none;
<body id="with_sidebar">
<div class="content">
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
</div>
</div>
#with_sidebar .content{width: 60%;)
<body id="without_sidebar">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
#without_sidebar .content{width: 100%;)
Just looked at your code, seems the easiest thing for you to do would be to change
<div id="content">
to
<div id="content" class="nosidebar">
Then add this to your CSS:
#content.nosidebar{width: 100%;}
