putting image always in center page - css

putting image always in center page(E.x image loading for ajax call), even when move scroll. how is it?

For most browsers, you can use position:fixed
img.centered {
position:fixed;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
/*
if, for instance, the image is 64x64 pixels,
then "move" it half its width/height to the
top/left by using negative margins
*/
margin-left: -32px;
margin-top: -32px;
}
If the image was, for instance, 40x30 pixels, you'd set margin-left:-20px; margin-top:-15px instead.
Here's a jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/WnSnj/1/
Please note that position:fixed doesn't work exactly the same in all browsers (though it's ok in all the modern ones). See: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/position.html

<style>
.CenterScreen{
position:fixed;
/*element can move on the screen (only screen, not page)*/
left:50%;top:50%;
/*set the top left corner of the element on the center of the screen*/
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);}
/*reposition element center with screen center*/
z-index:10000;
/*actually, this number is the count of the elements of page plus 1 :)*/
/*if you need that holds the element top of the others. */
</style>
If you add this class your element, it will be always center of the screen.
For example:
Hello world

Put the image in a div tag with some class name (centeredImage) and use the following css
div.centeredImage {
margin: 0px auto;
position: fixed;
top: 100px;//whatever you want to set top;
}

CSS Background image position moving to center on larger browser windows

I cannot get the orange background behind DONATE at the bottom of my page right to stay put in larger browser windows. I have tried every css trick I can find. Please help!
Thanks,
Janet

You missed this trick then:
#footer .footer-col-orange {
margin-left: 790px; // adjust accordingly
left: initial;
}
This will keep your donate box relative to the footer element, and not to the left page border and will work on all displays.
The other option is to set the position of #footer .padding element to relative.
There you go :
#footer .padding {
/* padding: 15px 20px 0px 100px; */
width: 1010px;
/* position: absolute; */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #0A6DA1;
padding-top: 15px;
position: relative; /* First part */
}
#footer .footer-col-orange {
position: absolute;
/* background-position: right; */
right: -2em; /* second part, feel free to put what you want */
}
When you set a position: absolute; to an element, it will pull it out of the HTML flow, and you can give it coordinates (top, left, right; bottom). This coordinates are relative to the first parent with a relative position. As you didn't set any parent element to be the relative, you positioned your element relative to the document.
Your orange box is current positioned absolutely, as you know. This means that is is relative to the browser window. The left edge of that window, because you have `left:900px'. What we want is for it to be relative to the footer, which is centered.
To do this, we need to set the parent container of the orange box to position:relative. This will cause the orange box's position to depend on it's parent instead of the window.
#footer .padding {
position:relative;
}
Then, it's just a matter of setting the yellow box to the right position. Given that it's on the right side, I'd delete the left value entirely and set right:-45px instead.
#footer .footer-col-orange {
left:auto;
right:-45px
}
With these, it'll line up perfectly with the edge of the white box above:
You are going to run into an issue with inline styling. You not only have your styles applied by CSS, they are duplicated inline. You're going to either need to set !important in the new CSS that I've provided (not best practice), or better, remove the inline styling. If you provide some more information about how your side is built (WordPress, HTML template, etc) I can help with removing the inline styling.

Floating div using css

i need this kind of effect in my project. there is a left corner floating red color strip. but i want to implement it for image using css. Please refer below image
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-tables.html#sec_26.6.1.
you can use position:fixed; for a div.
Example code
css
#redBar {width:40px; height:200px; position:fixed; background:red;}
html
<div id="redBar"></div>
Demo http://jsbin.com/aqofa5
You can modify the background property to add your custom background image like background:url("the-path-for-the-image").
It is called fixed position. Here is css that accomplishes this:
.element { position:fixed; top:2%; right:2%;}
More info.
You can use a positioned div:
#myImgDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-image: url(path/to-img.png);
}
If it's an image related to content, it's best to use an <img> tag with an alt attribute within this div.
Let's say this is you DIV
<div id="alwaysThere"><img src="..."></div>
This should be CSS style:
#alwaysThere
{
position: fixed; /* or absolute if you want it to be fixed page top-left */
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Use fixed position when you want your image to stay there regardless of page scrolling and absolute when you want it to stay top left on your page which means it will scroll when you'll scroll the page down.
The example you provided with a link uses fixed hence it stays there regardless of scrolling.
Pretty easy to be done, do the following:
div#divID
{
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}
This will give you the effect that this div will never leave the visible area of the browser.
Other position values are:
Static -- default
Absolute -- absolute in terms of the page, not the browser window
Relative -- relative to what it would be if the position was static
This is already an image. It doesn't use a floating div.
This CSS is used for the body:
background-image: url(http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/logo-ED);
background: white;
background-position: top left;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Can a background image be larger than the div itself?

I have a footer div with 100% width. It's about 50px high, depending on its content.
Is it possible to give that #footer a background image that kind of overflows this div?
The image is about 800x600px, and I want it to be positioned in the left bottom corner of the footer. It should work sort of like a background image for my website, but I've already set a background image on my body. I need another image positioned at the bottom left corner of my website and the #footer div would be perfect for that.
#footer {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
background:#eee url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png) no-repeat left bottom fixed;
}
The image is set to the footer, however it doesn't overflow the div. Is it possible to make that happen?
overflow:visible doesn't do the job!
There is a very easy trick. Set padding of that div to a positive number and margin to negative
#wrapper {
background: url(xxx.jpeg);
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: -10px;
}
I do not believe that you can make a background image overflow its div. Images placed in Image tags can overflow their parent div, but background images are limited by the div for which they are the background.
You can use a css3 psuedo element (:before and/or :after) as shown in this article
https://www.exratione.com/2011/09/how-to-overflow-a-background-image-using-css3/
Good Luck...
No, you can't.
But as a solid workaround, I would suggest to classify that first div as position:relative and use div::before to create an underlying element containing your image. Classified as position:absolute you can move it anywhere relative to your initial div.
Don't forget to add content to that new element. Here's some example:
div {
position: relative;
}
div::before {
content: ""; /* empty but necessary */
position: absolute;
background: ...
}
Note: if you want it to be 'on top' of the parent div, use div::after instead.
Using background-size cover worked for me.
#footer {
background-color: #eee;
background-image: url(images/bodybgbottomleft.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 30px 0 0;
}
Obviously be aware of support issues, check Can I Use: http://caniuse.com/#search=background-size
Use trasform: scale(1.1) property to make bg image bigger, move it up with position: relative; top: -10px;
<div class="home-hero">
<div class="home-hero__img"></div>
</div>
.home-hero__img{
position:relative;
top:-10px;
transform: scale(1.1);
background: {
size: contain;
image: url('image.svg');
}
}
You mention already having a background image on body.
You could set that background image on html, and the new one on body. This will of course depend upon your layout, but you wouldn't need to use your footer for it.
Not really - the background image is bounded by the element it's applied to, and the overflow properties only apply to the content (i.e. markup) within an element.
You can add another div into your footer div and apply the background image to that, though, and have that overflow instead.
This could help.
It requires the footer height to be a fixed number. Basically, you have a div inside the footer div with it's normal content, with position: absolute, and then the image with position: relative, a negative z-index so it stays "below" everything, and a negative top value of the footer's height minus the image height (in my example, 50px - 600px = -550px). Tested in Chrome 8, FireFox 3.6 and IE 9.

Auto positioning div as one scrolls the page down/up

Please see this UI sketch image, I have this div in sidebar (black box) on a certain site and as I scroll down or scroll up, I don't want it to hide...I want it to move itself down as I scroll down and move itself up as I scroll back up so that it never hides out. Can you recommend me some jQuery that can get this done? or something else. Please help, thanks.
Don't use jQuery for this please; it's pure CSS.
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
Adjust the exact position to your liking by adjusting top and left. Maybe you want it centered vertically like in the image (if the sketch is accurate in that aspect), in which case you have to deal with all the fun tricks necessary for vertical centering; hopefully in your case something like this would work:
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 50%; /* This places the _top_ of the div in the middle of the page. */
left: 10px;
height: 500px;
margin-top: -250px; /* This moves the div upward by half of its height,
thus aligning the middle of the div with the middle
of the page. */
}

Closed 3 years ago.
when i use top:50% and left:50%
the box is not directly in center. of course when the box is very small, it appears to be centered. but when box is a bit big, it looks as if it's not centered.
how can i resolve this ?
top and left correspond to the top-left corner of your box. What you're trying to do is have them correspond to the center. So if you set margin-top and margin-left to negative of one-half the height and width respectively, you'll get a centered box.
Example for a 300x200 box:
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -100px;
using translate will perfectly achieve that. simply apply this
div.centered {
position: fixed; /* or absolute */
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
/* bring your own prefixes */
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
source
Horizontal: Use a fixed width and
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
vertical: That's not that easy. You could use
display: table-cell
for the surrounding DIV and then give it a
vertical-align: middle
You can assign the box a fixed width and heigth, and then give it's margin-top and margin-left properties the negative half of the height and width.
EDIT: Example
div.centered {
width: 500px;
height: 400px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
margin-top: -200px;
margin-left: -250px;
}
One way is to assign a specific width to the box, then halve the remaining distance on each (left and right) side. This may be easier if you use percentages instead of pixel widths, e.g.,
<div style="margin-left:25%; margin-right:25%">...</div>
This leaves 50% width for the div box.
The very bizarre CSS "language" does not provide a simple way to center a element in the screen. Kludges must be made! This is the only solution I came to elements that are AUTO in both height and width. Tryed in FF19 (Win+Mac), CH25 (Win+Mac) and IE9.
.overlay {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-color:#eee; /* aesthetics as you wish */
}
.overlay .vref { /* it is a vertical reference to make vertical-align works */
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle; /* this makes the magic */
width:1px;
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
.overlay .message {
display:inline-block;
padding:10px;
border:2px solid #f00; /* aesthetics as you wish */
background-color:#ddd; /* aesthetics as you wish */
vertical-align:middle; /* this makes the magic */
max-width:100%; /* prevent long phrases break the v-alignment */
}
<div class="overlay">
<div class="vref"> </div>
<div class="message">whatever you want goes here</div>
<div class="vref"> </div>
</div>
body { text-align: center; }
#box {
width: 500px; /* or whatever your width is */
margin: 10px auto;
text-align: left;
}
The above would centre your box centrally horizontally on the page with a 10px margin at the top and bottom (obviously that top/bottom margin can be altered to whatever you want). The 'text-align' on the body is required for IE, which as usual doesn't quite get the hang of it otherwise. You then need the left text-align on your box (unless you want text it in centred too) to counteract the text-align center on the body.
Trying to centre vertically is just about impossible using pure CSS though. Though there's a vertical-align in CSS, it doesn't work like the HTML vertical align in tables, so in CSS 2 there's no in-built vertical align like the HTML one. The problem is that you're dealing with an unknown height - even if you know the height of your box, the height of the page is unknown, or rather what are you trying to fix the box in the centre of? The page? The viewport? The visible screen area's going to be different for everyone, depending on their screen resolution, browser, and all of the browsers interpret the height differently.
There are various methods that claim to have solved the problem, but usually they don't reliably work in all browsers. I found this one the other day, which doesn't seem bad, but it doesn't work in Google Chrome (works in Firefox and Opera, but I didn't get chance to check out IE). There's an interesting discussion on the problem though on this thread on Webmaster World that summarises the various methods and pros and cons of them and is well worth a look.
Edit:
Dav's solution in the first response works okay as long as you (or the visitor to the site) don't increase the font size or line height. The container will be centred, but as soon as the font size is increased or more content added, it'll overflow the container.
