I am in the process of designing a website for a film that is being released, but I am having some problems with getting it to fit in all browser windows sizes and screen sizes. Essentially, the markup, for example for the splash page, has the films logo at the top of the page, a video (the films trailer) under it, then an enter button that takes the user to the homepage. All of these should be centered on all browser window sizes. However when I try different sizes etc. the content does not remain centered and the video moves off of it's background image. How would I fix that with CSS?
There are a few other pages as well i.e. synopsis, videos and then a page to donate to the project. I would like these to work in the same way, keeping content working correctly on all sizes. Thanks!
If you want to look at this and see what I mean, the link is http://rescuedthemovie.com/new/home. This is the dev page and has basically no final design so it is somewhat messy but you can see what I'm talking about.

Sounds like a problem with the way you are positioning your elements on the page. Take a look at:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
Just add this to whatever divs you want to be centered. This should work on all browsers and will keep everything centered no matter the resolution.
#div {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
I would suggest using this for the main content div, so everything is centered, then creating separate divs for the video, links, etc. That way you can position those where you want them inside the centered div..
I don't understand your design. I see the following problems.
You have a div id="container" but the only thing it contains is the div id="fotter". All the rest of the elements are "outside" the container div.
You have a div id="logo" with a style of margin-top: 1%; margin-left: 25%;. How will this center it?
Your div id="slider" has position: relative; left: 26%; top: 3em; which means that it is being pushed 26% from left and 3em from top of its origional position and leaving a "gap" where it was before.
Your h1 has a margin: left; 300px;. Where exactly you want it to be?
Underneeth the h1 you have a elements which contain div elements? This is like a block level element inside a in-line elements. Totally wrong. These all a elements should be inside a div and than that div should be positioned.
Your div#footer is inside the
div#container. The div#foooter
has a style of position: absolute
while the div#container does NOT
have a position: relative. This
causes 2 things. The div#container
collapses as it does not have any
content and the div#fotter is
positioned relative to the browser
window.
you have 3 div#recent. The ID has to be unique. This is not allowed. Use calsses instaed.
I will give a skeloton on how to go about this.

<h2>The Putnam's Adoption Journey</h2>
My husband and I thought our family was complete. We had our two children (one boy and one girl) and were completely satisfied with that. Life was comfortable. My youngest had just started Kindergarten so I found myself with more free time than I had had in nine years! I was enjoying the freedom of grocery shopping without toddlers. But then God started stirring something in our hearts...

<div class="recent">
<h2>God's Divine Leading: Part 3</h2>
I remember feeling a little surprised that she had decided on adoption. I guess I just assumed that she would opt to keep her baby. I have to admit that I did wonder for a fleeting moment if perhaps the Lord was trying to lead Jurgen and I to adopt her baby, but then reasoned that a domestic adoption might be too risky. People might also think it strange, since I was the one who encouraged her to consider adoption in the first place, rather than end her baby’s life...
</div>
<div class="recent">
<h2>God's Divine Leading: Part 2</h2>
When I awoke, I had an overwhelming desire to have a baby of our own. The dream was extraordinarily real and tangible, and I felt strongly that the Lord had given me this dream as an answer to my questions about pursuing adoption. I am not the type of person who normally bases my decisions on dreams, but this was different. It was as if the Lord Himself had dropped this desire into my heart...

Fix 1
The best way to fix this (to me) is to control layout at the flex container (parent) level. It's straightforward and declarative.
header {
…
justify-content: space-between;
}
Fix 2
Another way is to add flex-grow: 1 to your #nav-bar.
#nav-bar {
…
flex-grow: 1;
}
In this instance, setting flex-grow to 1 tells the element to take up the available space in its flex container.
Fix 3
The non-flexbox way would be to add a left auto margin to the #nav-bar, effectively pushing it as far right as possible.
#nav-bar {
…
margin-left: auto;
}
since your header has display: flex property, his childs act like flex items.
So if you want to move whole .nav-bar to right you have to set margin-left: auto to .nav-bar so that element will be pushed to right.
Means .nav-bar will have as big margin as can without breaking on new line from left so element will move to right.
Since the Header element is the container just add justifi-content: space-between; and this will force the elements to go left and right. Another way is to put position: absolute; right: 0; to the nav-bar container but the first way is cleaner.
Trying to put an image next to a paragraph but it does not seem to work.
This is what I have:
<div class="dhn-info-div">

<img src="wp-content/themes/expound/images/dhn-directors.png" alt="Devonshire House Network Directors">
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
and CSS:
.dhn-info-div {
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: #a20e45;
width: 95%;
display: inline-block;
}
.dhn-info-div p {

color: white;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 35px;
word-spacing: 5px;
}
.dhn-info-div img {
float: right;
}
Image has to be on the right of the text. The div shouldn't be 100% in size. Cheers
This is how I want it to look:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/bPxbB.png
Depending on if you want to wrap the text around the image or have 2 columns, here’s both solutions:
If you want to wrap the text around the image it needs to be within the p tag. See example (I have also added 10px padding around the image).
If you want 2 columns you need to define the width of both so they fit in. I have also added float: left; to both and some padding to the image to make it look slightly better. See example
EXAMPLE
You needed to add some width to some elements such as the text
also you had no width or height on your image.
I also added top:40px; to your image to bring it down to the level of the text
Can you put the <img> in your <p> at top? that would fix it:
<div class="dhn-info-div">
<p>
<img src="wp-content/themes/expound/images/dhn-directors.png" alt="Devonshire House Network Directors" />

</p>
<div style="clear:both"></div>

Edit: is now responsive!
i made this fiddle, check it http://jsfiddle.net/fYh7u/
you can wrap the text in a div, and the image in another div, inside the main div "dnh-info-div", in my example i miss the "div", at end of class, because is obvious.

Hell o, I have floating menu fixed on top of the screen of my single page web site. When I click the menu item, page slowly scrolls down to appropriate section using jquery. I have this code for fixed menu on top of the screen:
<style>
.fixed_elements{ position:fixed; top:100px; }
#top-floating-bar{ background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #2D2D2D; height: 35px; position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 100; }
ul{ padding: 0; margin: 0; }
.fixed-bar-buttons{ float: left;color: #fff; }
.fixed-bar-buttons ul { height: 25px; padding-right: 10px; }
.fixed-bar-buttons ul li{ display: block; float: left; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; height: 25px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 10px; }
.fixed-bar-buttons ul li:hover{ background-color: #605F5F; }
#content-panel{ float: left;margin-top: 40px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="top-floating-bar">
<div class="fixed-bar-buttons">
<ul class="nav">
<li>REFERENCIE</li>
<li>KONTAKT</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="section2"> Section2 content</div>
<div id="section3"> Section3 content</div>
...
The code is OK and everything works fine. The thing I need to do is to modify the menu when it's on section2 and section3 only and add "UP" button.
When I load the page, I don't need the "UP" button, because It's not possible to go up and it's confusing to be there, so I need it only if I scroll down. Is it possible with CSS(1,2,3) only? Thank you!
Not possible, because you have to fetch the vertical offset of the document to know if the user is at the top of the page, or have scrolled down. The vertical offset is needed to make the decision whether to display the up button or not.
There is a way to do it with JS, but if you're asking for a CSS-only solution, I've given you the bad news already :P
I am building a fixed width site, 970px, centered, with a gradient as the surround. Originally the fixed width portion was white with several horizontal areas (menu, search area, product selection area) having a different background. This was accomplished simply with a background color of white for a div that is the next child of the body, which contained all the content of the page, and an override to the background color when needed. This worked fine.
Can I make these horizontal areas have the same background as the gradient, which will obviously be different at different places in the page? I thought I would simply keep the background-color transparent (the default) at all levels until I came to the parent of content I want white, making that parent's background-color #FFFFFF. This works if I specify a height to the area. However, the main body of the website will be of indeterminate height, and must be white (or something other than the gradient!). Are there any techniques through which I can force an element and its contents into a white background without specifying a height on that element?
Thanks.
Thanks for the response. I should clarify with code so that the question is clear. Sorry for that.
Here is sample HTML that illustrates the problem:
<body>
<div id="Page">
<div id="Header">
<div id="HeaderNavigationSection">
<div id="HeaderNavigationMenu">
<ul>
<li>Menu Item One</li>
<li>Menu Item Two</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="HeaderBannerSection">
<a href="#">
<img id="CompanyLogo" alt="Company Logo" src="" height="45" width="200" />
</a>
<p id="BannerSloganOne">Banner Slogan One Text</p>
<p id="BannerSloganTwo">Banner Slogan Two Text</p>
</div>
<div id="HeaderSearchSection">
<div class="HeaderSearchSectionLine">
<p class="HeaderSearchBoxLabel">Search Label One and Related Search Area</p>
</div>
<div class="HeaderSearchSectionLine">
<p class="HeaderSearchBoxLabel">Search Label Two and Related Search Area</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
First, here is CSS that works, using a page-level white background color and a section level different background color (yellow for illustration). This works throughout my code. I do not show any resets or basic settings. Note that the commented-out CSS for the #HeaderBannerSection is not needed (it appears in the code that doesn't work, which is shown after this code).
html {
height: 100%;
background-color: #D4D4D4; /* surrogate for browser-specific gradient */}
body {
text-align: center;}
#Page {
width: 970px;
margin: 0px auto 10px auto;
line-height: 1.2;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;
background-color: #FFFFFF;}
#HeaderNavigationSection {
height: 30px;
background-color: #FFFF00;}
#HeaderNavigationMenu {
display: inline;
float: right;}
#HeaderNavigationMenu li {
display: inline;
float: left;}
#HeaderNavigationMenu li a {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin: 8px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;}
#HeaderBannerSection {
/*width: 970px;*/
/*background-color: #FFFFFF;*/}
#CompanyLogo {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: auto;
margin: 10px 0px 10px 10px;}
#BannerSloganOne {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 330px;
margin: 20px 0px 20px 80px;}
#BannerSloganTwo {
display: inline;
float: right;
width: 300px;
margin: 20px 10px 20px 0px;
text-align: right;}
#HeaderSearchSection {
clear: both;
height: 68px;
background-color: #FFFF00;}
.HeaderSearchSectionLine {
clear: both;}
.HeaderSearchBoxLabel {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px;}
Here are the changes to that CSS that attempt to make the html-level background color (namely the gradient) the default, through transparency, except where specifically overridden where desired (in this example, for the #HeaderBannerSection (with code from above commented out as needed)):
#Page {
width: 970px;
margin: 0px auto 10px auto;
line-height: 1.2;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;
/*background-color: #FFFFFF;*/}
#HeaderNavigationSection {
height: 30px;
/*background-color: #FFFF00;*/}
. . .
#HeaderBannerSection {
width: 970px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;}
. . .
#HeaderSearchSection {
clear: both;
height: 68px;
/*background-color: #FFFF00;*/}
This code does not work. The background-color for the section that should be white instead remains the gradient. This is true unless I specify a height for the section, then it all works. But I won't be able to specify the height for the main section (not shown) unless I do a jQuery to determine rendered height and then do a jQuery css height setting (not ideal, and haven't even tried it yet to see if it works). Incidentally, the offending code does work in IE6 and IE7 (at least as rendered in Expression Web 4 SuperPreview).
Thanks again for any help you can give me.
For your banner section try this jsfidle
the min-width property forces the div to have a specific minimum width if the content inside it is not enough to fill it (it will be the specified width by default until the content in it is so much that the div has to expand)
I've changed the background colour so that you can see the actual div # work
feel free to change to #FFFFFF once you are sure you have gotten it correct.
After reading this article http://camendesign.com/code/developpeurs_sans_frontieres
I have decided to follow what it says and eliminate wrappers from my site design. Gave my body element a width, give html and css different background colours.etc
Things are working fine, I'm really impressed by it until I need to add a footer. At this moment, I'm kind of stuck. Since my footer tag has to be inside the body element, it's width only extend to the width of the body element (which is 600px). and the white box still surrounds my footer instead of ending before my footer as expected.
Is there a way I can get the footer to be like any footer you see on other sites (where the footer span the full width of the page in a different colour, without going back to wrapper divs?
Here's a screenshot:
Live Demo
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
html {height: 100%; width: 680px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0;
background: #c72;}
body { min-height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 20px;
border: 1px solid black; border-width: 0 1px;
font: 13px/20px "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #333;
background-color: #eee;}
#footer {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
background: #ccc
}
</style>
<body>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..
<div id="footer">footer</div>
</body>
Be aware that it's not "sticky": http://jsbin.com/ifika6/2
First of all, set padding-bottom: 0 for the body and margin-bottom: 0 for the footer div (or whatever you used), that should make it touch the bottom.
If I were you then I will do the following things:
THE CSS
.wrapper{
margin:0 auto;
width:980px;/*your width will goes here*/
background: green;
}
.footer{
background: red; /*your style will goes here*/
}
THE HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
MainContent will goes here.....
</div>
<div class="footer">
this is footer.....
</div>
Hope it helps you to solve your problem......
