Hi I am having problems positioning several images. It is very important that max height of the site stays at approximately 580 pixels as I want to give the impression of a picture frame around the site. I have attached a picture to show how exactly the site is laid out and where I want to position my images in the top, middle and bottom divs. I do not want to have them as background images because I want to have some as links and I want to have some jquery animations (i.e. fadeIn and toggle) with the other images. This is a fluid layout but I do not want the vertical width to expand when the browser is at the min width of 780px, I also would like that the images are some what centred on the page.
I am still learning CSS so I have done the best I can but it is still out of position.
Thanks for your help
Site Layout Picture
.container {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1096px;
min-width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto;}
.header {
background:#231f20;
height: 65px;
}
.sidebar1 {
padding: 0px;
float: left;
width: 65px;
background: #231f20;
margin: 0;
min-height: 450px;}
.sidebar2 {
float: right;
width: 65px;
background:#231f20;
margin: 0;
min-height: 450px;}
.main_content{
padding: 0px;
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
.footer {
height: 65px;
background:#231f20;
position: relative;
}
HTML
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="sidebar1"></div>
<div class="main_content">
<div class="top"></div>
<div class=”middle"></div>
<div class=”bottom"></div>
</div>
<div class="sidebar2"></div>
</div>
</body>
Add position: relative to all the containing div's (you may have to set the height of them to the height of the tallest image also). Then position all the images something like:
.img1 { /* or whatever class name works for you */
position: absolute;
left: 50%; /* this centers it, if you want thirds, us 33%, 66%, etc. */
margin-right: -50px; /* note: 50px is an example, it needs to be half the width of your image width */
}
Try adding clear: both; to the CSS for the .footer. This will force it to the bottom of the "picture frame".

I have a fixed a button at the right of a bootstrap container.
But in high resolution, the button moves outside of the bootstrap container as it is fixed relative to body, not container.
Note: It must be fixed (not absolute) because I don't want it to scroll with window.
Here is the code:
<div class="body">
<h1>Body</h1>
<div class="container">
<h1>Container</h1>
Enquire Now
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.fixed-btn {
padding: 10px 20px;
background: #000;
color: #FFF !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
line-height: 30px;
position: fixed;
right: 70px;
top: 50px;
}
.body {
background: aquamarine;
min-height: 1000px;
}
.container {
background: antiquewhite;
min-height: 1000px;
max-width: 400px;
}
Is it possible to make it fixed within a bootstrap container? so it would not move outside of the container.
Look a live code at JSFIDDLE.
One possibility is to position the fixed element using calc
.fixed-btn {
position: fixed;
left: calc(50% + (400px/2)) ;
}
In this case the 400px (from your demo) would be the width of the container based on the various widths in Bootstrap.
You would have to adjust this in each media query.

Overview: I have a CSS3 pure navigation system on top of my page. I have a footer/copyright on bottom.
In the middle, I want a background image (parchment) cover, then on top of that parchment, I want a white layer for text with a left column and a right column. I can't seem to make it work using the relative position as my z-index doesn't seem to be working. If I put position "fixed", I can't use the right browser scroll anymore to go down. If I use position "absolute", then the background is right and the content on top is ok, but my navigation footer disappears. If I use position "relative", my navigation system is fine but the background doesn't show up anymore. It is ignoring the z-index....
The weird thing is I am using expression web 4 and it looks correct there...it just doesn't look correct on the web.
This is my site html to reproduce what I am seeing.
<!-- #BeginEditable "content" -->
<div id="page_content_back">
<div id="column_left">
<h1>About</h1>
<p>We are the best-Trust us</p>
</div>
<div id="column_right">
<h4>CONTACTS</h4>
</div>
</div>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
This is my css
#page_content_back {
position: relative;
background-image:url('../images/grayparchment_back.jpg');
background-size: cover;
z-index: 1;
width: 100%;
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #CCAA77;
}
#column_left {
position: relative;
margin: 0 50px;
padding: 0 2%;
z-index: 2;
top: 0px;
background-color: #fff;
float: left;
width: 65%;
height: 100%;
color: #393939;
}
#column_right {
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
float: right;
right: 50px;
top: 370px;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #fff;
}
Okay, the problem is your div#column_left. It has a float: left property. Floating an element takes it out of the flow, so there's nothing within the div#page_content_back to give it any height. Remove that float: left property from the inner div and you'll see the image appear behind it. From there, you can add other elements after that nested div and the image will expand to encapsulate the new element. That said, if you use float or position: absolute, you're removing the element from the flow and that background image won't respond to its presence as a result.
I have a div with a background image that will overlay part of the header slideshow. I want the width of the div to always be 100% of the window size, even when the user re-sizes it. The height should change based on the aspect ratio of the background image. The dimensions of the background image is 1500x406.
Here's the sample code:
HTML
<div id="wrapper" class="clearfix">
<div id="bg_img"></div>
</div>
CSS
.clearfix {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
line-height: 1.5;
}
#bg_img {
background: url('http://rndimg.com/ImageStore/OilPaintingBlue/999x400_OilPaintingBlue_19aa91c1b6e142f288fe69eb2a160a2b.jpg') no-repeat;
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
top: 9em;
width: 100%;
height: 406px;
margin: 0 auto;
display: inline;
}
The working JSFiddle
To make an element maintain proportions you only have to use this code
<div id="some_div"></div>
#some_div:after{
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 100%; /* the percentage of y over x */
}
So this is how to achieve it. Demo
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="bg_img"></div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
N.B. clearfix isn't required for this solution, OP had it in his code.
CSS
#wrapper{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
#wrapper:after{
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 27.06666%; /* 406 over 1500 */
}
#bg_img{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: url(http://placekitten.com/1500/406);
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
This is what I've used in the past to support back to IE8. Used in conjunction with a small js plugin here that supports the filters: http://louisremi.github.io/jquery.backgroundSize.js/demo/
img {
-webkit-background-size:cover;
-moz-background-size:cover;
background-size:cover;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(sizingMethod='cover');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(sizingMethod='cover')";}
background-position:50% 0;
}
I found a solution which is simple and works great for me. Create a transparent PNG for the aspect ratio you desire, e.g. 15px x 4px.
put the image within the div. Set the image's width to 100%. It will expand to the div's width and grow in the proper aspect ratio vertically, pushing the div's height down to the proper aspect ratio.
Something like this (this exact sample untested):
<div style="width: 100%">
<img src="..." style="width: 100%" />
</div>
You could, of course, do this with the other dimension (height) as well by defining it instead of width.
Simple enough. Works for me.

This somewhat distorts the image, but it might be what you are looking for:
#bg_img {
background: url('http://rndimg.com/ImageStore/OilPaintingBlue/999x400_OilPaintingBlue_19aa91c1b6e142f288fe69eb2a160a2b.jpg') no-repeat;
min-width:100%;
min-height:100%;
background-size:cover;
}
On my main page, I have an image that moves around or wraps around on browser resize. I just want to change it so that the image gets cut from the right if the browser is small.
I have tried a few things to no avail:
Remove the float on the div id right and the relative positioning on right-image
Try min-width for div id right
Give height, widths in percentages
Added viewport settings.
In the template, the image is placed outside the main like:
<body>
<div id = "main">
<div id = "left">
<div id="left-title">Tag Line</div>
<div id="left-blurb">
Some blurb
</div>
<div id='left-signup'> SignUp! button</div>
</div>
<div id = "right">
<div id = "right-image"></div> <--- Image
</div>
</body>
Relevant css:
body {
margin: 0 auto;
height: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
#main {
float: center;
width: 950px;
overflow: visible;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#left {
float: left;
width: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
#left-title {
font-size: 3.4em;
margin: 25px 0px 20px 15px;
}
#left-blurb {
margin: 0px 20px 10px 15px;
}
#left-signup {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 90px;
}
#right {
float: right;
width: 600px;
height: 400px;
margin-top: -10px;
display: inline-block;
}
#right-image {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: -50px;
top: 0px;
background: url(my_photo.jpg) no-repeat;
-moz-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
z-index: 0;
}
I think that is the css that is relevant to the question. But if it is not enough, the website I am talking about is https://www.mathnuggets.com
Will appreciate any insights.
You can add a media query to just remove it from the document when your document size is less than a certain number of pixels.
#media screen and (max-width:480px) {
#right-image{
display: none;
}
}
Otherwise, you can also adjust its positioning as you've done using the same method, just adjusting its position depending on window size. The issue I'm seeing in your code is that you're using a -10px margin that is causing it to overlap your other elements, so you could simply change that for certain viewport sizes.
In addition, you might want to consider changing your sizing method from being absolute using pixels and instead use percentages so that your image can flex a little as your viewport changes.
This site has a lot of great resources I think could help you to work with your existing design so that it can be more responsive as needed: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-to-responsive-web-design
If you use
position: absolute;
for ID=right div it will never go under left div
I am trying to emulate a sort of pop-up help dialog for my web site.
When the user clicks help, a mask covers the whole page with a dark, partially transparent mask, and a helppage div with a higher z-order is made visible.
The helppage div is 80% wide and 90% high positioned absolute at left 10% and top 5%, all relative to body.
So far all is great.
The content of the helppage div is:
- a full-width header with a close anchor 20px high floating right.
- a iframe-div to occupy the rest of the helppage div containing:
- an iframe to display the html document in question
The problem:
I would expect the height of the iframe-div to be 20 px less than the helppage div, but for some odd reason it is 3px larger than the helppage div.
As a result the bottom of the iframe is invisible.
The html:
<div id="helpbox">
<div id="helppage" class="window" style="display: block; position: absolute;">
<div class="hd-header">
<a class="close" onclick="hidehelp()"></a>
</div>
<div class="iframe-div">
<iframe id="HelpPageFrame" src="/help-system.html"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
The css:
#helpbox .window {
position:absolute;
display:none;
z-index:9999;
}
#helpbox #helppage {
background: white;
width:80%;
left: 10%;
top: 5%;
height:90%;
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#helppage iframe {
border: none;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#helppage .iframe-div {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
#helpbox .hd-header {
height: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
overflow: hidden;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
#helpbox .close {
width:20px;
height:20px;
display:block;
float:right;
clear:right;
background:transparent url(images/close_icon_double.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
edit As mixel pointed out, an important detail slipped, when I trie to simplify the scenario, that has been corrected.
Please, be accurate, when you are asking questions.
There is whitespace in '#helppage .window' selector. It selects nothing. Because of that '#helppage' is not absolute positioned.
There is no '#helpbox' element.
edit
Though you are still a bit innaccurate (you forgot to close 'DIV'), there is answer. You need to fill the remainder of '#helppage' with '.iframe-div'. If you set '.iframe-div' height to 100%, it takes 100% height of parent element - '#helppage'. To solve this problem you need absolute positioning for '.iframe-div':
#helppage .iframe-div {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
}
Or set height with javascript.
Check out this: Make DIV fill remainder of page vertically?
It's fairly common question.
