If you will notice when you visit... http://www.thebattleforarcadia.com/construction/index.html when you shrink the size of the screen the top bar content overflows it's parent div and runs over the rest of the website.
What I want to do is, if in-case the resolution of the receiving end is too small, I want to force them to have to use the scrollbar at the bottom so they can see everything. Just so the website is displayed properly.
Any coding ideas?
Thank you,
Aaron
Add...
min-width: 1260px;
at the
#news-container
css rule.
Your website will display fine in 1280x** resolutions but there will be a vertical scrollbar in anything less than that (in width).
Perhaps you could make the min-width 960px and make the text expand in two lines (pushing the top graphic a bit) ? Just a suggestion
EDIT: here's an example
#news-content {
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-top: 12px;
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#news-container {
width: 100%;
background: url(images/news-background.png) repeat-x left bottom;
z-index: 10;
}
#news-header {
width: 150px;
height: 23px;
float: left;
padding-left: 25px;
}
The above example will make the header "Expand" when the resolution is shrinked without forcing screenwidth < 1280px users to use the vertical scrollbar
Give the body element or any other element that is setting the width you want a min-width to match that. This should make sure that whenever the page is being viewed on a smaller resolution have a horizontal scroll-bar

I'm trying to get a simple page layout where the navbar sits vertically along the right side of the user's window, taking up no more than 20% of the available space. The remaining 80% of space to the left is used for content.
I want the entire page to be resizable, so no matter how big or small the browser window is (within reason), the content will resize to the user's screen. Everything works and resizes great, but there's one problem with the navBar. Here's a CSS excerpt:
body{
background-color: #111111;
font-family: Roboto;
color: #cccccc;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
float: left;
}
#navBar{
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00C9FF;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}
#welcome{
background-color: #222222;
text-align: center;
margin: 1%;
}
The Problem:
If I leave the code above as is, the navBar renders on the right side of the screen, as it should, but it is not 100% the height of the browser window. Note it still resizes when the browser window's WIDTH is changed.
If I set navBar's position to absolute (position: absolute) the navbar renders exactly how it should render, except it floats to the left side of the browser, basically making it on the complete opposite side of where it should be.
Demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/YPyvzO (remove position: absolute to see where the navBar SHOULD render)
I have tried several different things including setting "HTML" in CSS to height: 100% and several different position properties for navbar, all to no avail. I'd like for this to be done only in CSS, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Add the following:
position: absolute;
right: 0;
to #navBar. One thing that took me a long time to understand is that position: absolute overrides everything, even floats.
when you resize the browser the width and height change, so for this purpose you have to use media query in CSS and in this you have to tell the browser that in this width the navbar should be in given width. and another option is that you can use bootstrap, in bootstrap you not write too much css. and all the work become easy.

Doing this site for an assignment due tomorrow. In the proccess of making it responsive.
I am having an issue with the last color block, although its put into its container using percentages, it keeps moving out. In chrome its outside it straight away, whereas in Firefox its only when I resize. Although the difference is only a few pixels, so I'd assume its to do with the monitor size.
Any ideas guys? I'm stumped.
Try add this code snippet into your css file.
#tab-1 > div > div
{
width: 8%;
}
You can change the width.
Good Luck!!
Try using property " display:inline-table " for the class color_container
and give margin for the smaller color divs for space inbetween
try putting slightly smaller percentages(in the color block) and test it until it looks good. also it fits right in wider monitors as you say, because you have one css, that is best for wide screens. the point of responsive design is to have more than one media queries if the one you have breaks the design in smaller screens. so either make the color blocks really small, or myou should make more media queries
Your issue here is display: inline-block;. When you use it, it adds an extra space between elements. If you want to sort out this, you have 2 fixes:
a) negative margin-right
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: 8.74%;
height: 100%;
margin-right: -4px;
}
b) font-size: 0; on the container and default font-size on the elements inside
.color_container {
width: 98%;
height: 60px;
min-height: 60px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #fff;
font-size: 0;
}
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: 8.74%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 1em; /* or what is your default font-size */
}
I am trying to figure out how to get divs that I want on the same line to stay there, rather than getting pushed below when the screen is resized.
For example, I have a sidebar and a main body on all the pages in my website that I will give a defined width. They will sit directly next to each other, with the same height.
Sidebar CSS
#sidebar {
width: 380px;
margin-left: 50px;
float: left;
background: #cee7f7;
padding: 1%;
}
Body CSS
.container {
width: 1125px;
margin-right: 10%;
float:right;
background: #fff;
padding: 1%;
}
You can see an example at www.dweeman.com/eb/sitetemplate.html (Ignore the bad design).
Basically what I want is for all my divs (logo, phone, sidebar, body, footer etc) to all remain in their respective positions regardless of the screen size, yet with defined sizes. Does this have something to do with the position property?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Also how would I best describe this for the title of my question?)
Try setting the min-width and min-height of the divs if you want them to stay a specific size regardless of the screen size.
Id like to know why my inner wrap of the desktop css for this site is not working.
Basically if set innerwrap to margin:0 auto; and width: auto; there is no problem, but it's not centered on the footer or main div
When I have innerwrap as it's currently set margin:0 auto; and width:960px; you'll notice that the page presents a horizontal scroll bar after resizing the window a bit, and all the content is squished to the left with a white background starting to become visible.
Is there anyway to have it transition fluidly to the next tablet size layout without have a scroll bar appearing and content getting squished?
It shows Scrollbar because of the padding you apply in .innerwrap
Read this article about the Box Model
Use of padding on the sides of certain elements when applying 100% width to parent element its not recommendable because it adds width to the whole group, and since you,re using the browsers width it shows the scrollber to see the extra space you added.
My humble advice is that if you want a block element to appear centered apply an margin:auto style rule whenever is possible, the same also has to be displayed as a block element with no float.
Remove this:
.innerwrap {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-right: 10%;
width: 80%;
}
Keep This
.innerwrap {
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
}
Since you are applying fixed margins for you social icons they will show misplaced, so don't use fixed margins for centering them, use percentage width instead.
you may want use a common class for aligning them
.social {
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: block !important;
float: none;
height: 150px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 50px;
width: 30% !important;
}
For a.twittersocial and a.twittersocial:hover and the rest of the social links just keep the background properties.
Create a determined class if you need to apply common style rules to several elements (if there are many of them) and avoid usage of ID selectors whenever is possible, use classes instead (.daclass).
Use a web inspector like Firebug to track down styling errors.
Good luck Developer!
I am not exactly sure how to describe this issue, but heres goes nothing....
I have a navigation on left side of my site..
.headerWrapper {
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
float: left;
height: 745px;
margin-left: 40px;
width: 250px;
}
and right next to that is a class with an image inside of it....
.mainContent {
float: left;
padding-left: 5px;
width: 1000px;
}
the width of the image is 1000px and that is set in the image width attribute.
This layout looks good on my screen, but on other screens the image goes underneath the headerWrapper...Why is it doing this and how do I fix it?
The image goes below because there's not enough width area to fit in both the navigation and image. For minor fixes, try playing with the margin, padding (around 0) of the .mainContent, .headerWrapper and body to fit in both of them side by side.
However, for better adaptability to all resolutions you should use CSS Media Queries.
Here's a fiddle. Resize the result window and see the animation.
Basically, using media queries, you can define styling according to window size, for example in your case, you could reduce the size of the image to fit in low-res screens and so on.
Hope it helps. :)
