Images hidden behind fixed footer - css

Please take a look at the following fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/ellenchristine/tty3e/
Note that when you expand or contract the Results panel, the jQuery Masonry plugin populates the new space with images. However, I'm having trouble with the footer area...when you scroll to the very bottom, the last image is always partially hidden behind the fixed footer. I've tried adding margins on the footer, on the wrapper, everything, but am not getting anywhere. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

If you remove the height settings you had on #wrapper, and set a bottom padding, it appears to function as you need. The height 100% was taking up 100% of the parent, since all the elements within #wrapper were floated, and that was just the height of the display window. If you want to see that in action, put a border on #wrapper before removing the height to see the problem.
#wrapper {
width:960px;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 15px 0 115px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

try overflow:hidden on #wrapper

body height 100% with absolute positioned content doesn't work

To set body-height to 100% I use the following code:
html {height: 100%;}
body{
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
I thought this workaround works always, no matter what the content does, but when I use content, that is absolute positioned, the body seems to loose the 100%-height property.
You can see the example here:
Go to https://www.appfelsine.com/was-kostet-eine-App
Reduce the browser width as far as u can.
scroll down.
there is a white area at the bottom.
Position:fixed; would help for the white area, but then it is impossible to reach the button at the bottom.
position: fixed; and overflow-y:scroll; will result in a double scroll bar - doesn't look very nice.
Have you got an idea how to pull the body down until the bottom?
position: fixed; overflow-y:auto; will prevent scrollbar showing when it is not getting overflow. It prevents double scrollbar issue
Maybe you can just put "background-color: #3ab252" on your ".question-inner" ?

DIV with width:100% is just 100% of the viewport

Maybe the title is not easy to understand, sorry.
My problem in detail: i created a wordpress theme with an header. This header is surrounded by the "header-div". The header div has a width: 100% and a coloured background. But if the content in another div below overflows the viewport and you scroll horizontal, the background is white.
I know that the "width:100%" just is 100% of the parent element, but there is just the body. And the body has "width:100% and height:100%".
Where is the mistake?
Here is the site:
http://ericgerhardy.de/selltron/
Just try to reduce the browser width to 500px and scroll to the right. This should show my problem.
PS. I´m sorry if the question is already answered, but i searched for a while, with no results.
The white background appears because you have set a min-width: 1000px at some of the elements below the header.
If your only concern is to prevent the white background from appearing at the right side of the header on smaller screens and you don't care about having a responsive page (which is the case, if I understood your question), then you need to add min-width: 1000px; to your #header as well like this:
#header {
background-color: #D3D0CE;
height: 245px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 99999;
min-width: 1000px; /* This is the extra line */
}
The problem is that absolute positioned elements doesn't resize their parents but overflows them.
In this case your body is overflowed and a scrollbar appears but his size is still 100% of the viewport, because he is not expanded.
The abuse of absolute positiong often leads to such problems. Try tu use static positioning as much as possible. In this case it's really easy to use static positioning.

Learning CSS div placement , positioning

i am learning CSS, i am trying to place the div with red background just below the body, i can't seem to make it fit to the body, whenever i adjust the width it doesn't align with the body,when i tried to place it center and 100% width, it occupies 100% of the width of the page it does not align with the white background area, whenever i do 80% it does align left and does not align with the white background area. Please point me to the right direction. I'm stuck :(
the code i have so far is here: http://pastebin.com/VPMgbzQ2
Thanks in advance.
Make your footer div out of the tabs div and no need of position: absolute on it. Make following changes:
#footer
{
margin-top:80%;
height: 20px;
width:50%;
text-align:center;
background:#C00;
}
Here is fiddle.
Also it seems that you are trying to make responsive design but let me tell you that the way you are proceeding is not the right one for it. You may read Responsive Design By Ethan Marcotte for learning it.
EDIT
Make following changes:
Give height: 400px; or as required to table div.
Make your footer div out of the table div.
Either remove margin-top or change it to 5% or 10% as required in footer div.
Add min-height: 100%; to .tabs.
Check out the fiddle.
Try hardcoding the height value
#spaceheader {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background: #000000;
}
I see your issue now. The parent element <div class="tab"> is what's causing your issues. If I were you, I'd take the radio buttons out of the tab, make it not have a float:left on it, and this will probably fix things. You then need to remove the absolute positioning on your footer div.
Also, it looked like you put the footer div inside of the tab, when in actuality, it should be outside of all of the tabs, beneath them in the code.

CSS Background image repeat issue

I'm trying to have a background image repeat x and y to the bottom of the page.
The background image pattern div is
#pattern {
height: 3000px;
width: 1000px;
background:url(../images/patterns/pattern1.jpg) repeat;
}
In the html, it resides inside
#wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
The height on #pattern is set to 3000px just so it will show up, otherwise the image will not appear.
I have tried various things such as:
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
overflow: auto;
I would like the background image to repeat to the bottom of #wrapper, to the bottom of the page.
Webpage is here:
Thanks so much.
You've set a fixed height on the wrapper, so it'll stop at 3000px, regardless of how much content is in there. Try a min-height instead. That'll keep it at a minimum size so it's visible,but allows it to grow to fit the content in it.
Try giving the #pattern a position:fixed; so it doesn't matter how much content you have to scroll, it won't scroll itself.
Side note: repeat is the default property for background image so no need to declare.
Your HTML is wrong. The #pattern div should contain the rest of the page. You want it to grow with the contents.
Your interior divs are all absolutely positioned, making it impossible for them to influence the height of the container #wrapper, which is where you'd want to put your background image code.
Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional, but #pattern doesn't wrap any of your content, so it's height has to be manually set, since it has no children.
There are two approaches you can take. Use Javascript to determine the combined height of your absolutely positioned divs and set the height of the pattern to that number.
Or, you can use float to arrange your columns, and put a at the end to force the parent container to be that tall.
The div tag containing the #pattern style should start on the first line after the body tag and close at the end of the page just before the close of the body tag.
BTW, remove the height and width attributes or set it to 100% so that it repeats throughout the page.

background image vertical repeat for a div

I want to repeat a background-image for a div vertically till the bottom of the page.
#repeat {
background: url(repeat-image.png) repeat-y;
height: 100%; /* this does not work, but height: 1024px; does */
}
This does not work. I need to do so according to the page design that I have got. Can this be done?
With regards
Vikram
try to set height:100% for your <body> and <html>, too. if there is nothing except this div on your page, 100% height will be 0px without these settings.
For web pages, height is a funny thing. Since web pages expand vertically, the total height of your page can actually be 0. You may consider using min-height for each element that requires at least a certain height. You can use height: 100% to fill the full height of the parent.
