Width: 100% Without Scrollbars - css

I'm trying to make a part of my webpage that fit the width of the browser, for this I'm using width: 100%, the problem is that it shows scrollbars and I can't use overflow-x: hidden; because it will make some of the content hidden, so how I can fix this?
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}

Because you're using position: absolute, instead of using:
width: 100%; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px
you should use:
left: 10px; right: 10px
That will make your element take the full width available, with 10px space on the left and right.

You have to remove the margins on the #news item
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px; /*REMOVE THIS*/
margin-left: 10px; /*REMOVE THIS*/
padding: 0;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}
If this doesn't work, you might have margin and padding set on the element itself. Your div - if that is what you are using - might have styles applied to it, either in your stylesheet or base browser styles. To remove those, set the margins specifically to 0 and add !important as well.
#news {
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}

It seems that you have set the width to 100%, but there are also margins that force the width to expand beyond that.
Try googling for "css flexible ( two/three-collumn) layouts".
Here's an example,
<div id="cont">
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
and the css
#menu{
float:left;
height:100%;
width:200px;
}
#main{
padding-left:200px;
}
.clear{clear:both;}
The #menu div, will be aligned to the left and have a static width of 200px.
The #main div, will "begin" below #main, but because of it's 200px padding (can also be margin) its content and child elements will start - where #menu ends.
We must not set #main to a percent width, (for example 100%) because the 200 pixels of left padding will be added to that, and break the layout by adding scrollbars to the X axis.

I had a similar issue with a absolute positioned element, and I wanted to use width 100%. This is the approach I used and it solved my problem:
box-sizing=border-box
Otherwise I always had a little content and padding pushing past the scroll bar.

The answer is that you have margins set that will make the div wider than the 100%; hence the scrollbars.
If you can rid yourself of margins do it! However, often you'll want the margins. In this case, wrap the whole thing in a container div and set margins to 0 with width at 100%.

Css position absolute leaves white space at the top

I want to absolute position a div but it is not sticked to the top but has a blank space. Container has position:relative and inner block has position:absolute css rules. I tried to play with the code and noticed that changing background-position has some effect and I have no idea why.
<header>
<div class="header-wrapper">
<div class="header-slogan-1 text-center">Base info</div>
<div class="header-info">Info</div>
</div>
</header>
What I want is to have the green block at the top (see fiddle).
Here is the fiddle
Please can anyone explain the behaviour and answer why the block is shifted from the top?
It is shifted from the top, because it is relative to its parent .header-wrapper, that has a top margin. In order to get the desired result, you have to remove position: relative from its parent, therefore it will be relative to the viewport and will be placed at the top.
Edit: I realised, that he margin is actually applied to the child of the wrapper, causing margin collapsing. In order to fix this, you need apply overflow: auto to the parent element. By doing that, you can still have a position: relative on the wrapper, as it is not pushed down by the child. Take a look at the demo:
/* header block */
header {
height: 536px;
background-color: #ddd;
background-position: center;
background-size: 100% 536px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;
}
header .header-wrapper {
position: relative;
overflow: auto;
z-index: 2;
}
.header-slogan-1 {
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: 700;
font-style: italic;
margin-top: 88px;
}
.header-wrapper .header-info {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: 3;
background-color: #4caf50;
max-width: 600px;
padding: 25px 25px 25px 75px;
color: #fff;
}
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
<header>
<div class="header-wrapper">
<div class="header-slogan-1 text-center">Base info</div>
<div class="header-info">Info</div>
</div>
</header>
If I'm understanding this correctly, you want the header to have no space around it. If this is the case, then just add
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
to the top of your css and you should be all set.
I changed margin-top: 88px; into padding-top: 88px; of header-slogan-1 as it does not change my layout. I have an image in wrapper class and it is centered and may exceed the container size, so I need position:relative and overflow:hidden.
Finally I decided to pick my solution. Sorry Adam for not choosing your answer.

Background color/width running to 100% on css element

I'm trying to get the white background behind the title to remain at the width of the text, not run all the way to the right of the screen, as it's doing now:
http://www.jmakhotels.com/post-ranch-inn-california-big-sur-new/
It should look like this: http://www.jmakhotels.com/images/title-tag.jpg ... but I can't figure out how to set the width so that it's dynamic for the different title lengths. This should be simple, but it's driving me insane! That .header-title element should simply be the width of the text + 10x padding on the left and right.
Here's the CSS for the blue div (which will be an image bgd), and the title element:
.main-header {
background-color: #009cff;
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
}
.header-title {
margin: -58px 0 0 18px;
padding:10px;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
width:auto;
}
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me figure this out.
Setting display:table on the .header-title rule will fix the issue (without messing the margins).
Your .header-title (h2) is a block element, it should be a inline-block element to grab the width of the element itself.
However, your header-title can be placed inside the main-header instead of below the element.
A quick fix would be to move the .header-title element from below the .main-header div to the inside:
<div class="main-header">
<h2 class="header-title">This will be the title</div>
</div>
You want the header title to stick to the bottom of the main header, you can do this by giving it an absolute position. First we need to give the main header a relative position:
.main-header {
position: relative;
}
Now we can position header-title to the bottom of the main-header element:
h2.header-title {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; <- stick to the bottom of main-header
left: 1em;
}
You can remove the margin from the header-title class in your CSS, because you're already telling header-title to stick to the bottom of main-header.
Change .header-title to display:inline-block then add margin-bottom: -36px; to .main-header
So:
.main-header {
background-color: #009cff;
height: 300px;
margin-bottom: -36px;
width: 100%;
}
.header-title {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
display: inline-block;
margin: -58px 0 0 18px;
padding: 10px;
}
Also don't need width:auto
Try adding the style display: inline-block;
I am assuming .header-title is being used on a div that surrounds the title. You also shouldn't need width: auto;

Positioning div right to a already centered content without absolute position

I have two child divs (inline-block) inside a wrapper div. I want the left Div to be centered and the right one simply on the right of the left div.
<div id="Wrapper1"><div id="leftElement1">LEFT ELEMENT</div><div id="rightElement1">RIGHT</div></div>
The Problem is, if I use margin-left to reposition the whole wrapper, the Left Element is not centered on small screen sizes.
If I center leftElement1 and use position: absolute to position rightElement1 the Warpper Div does not adjust its width and height according to its children.
For a better understanding check http://jsfiddle.net/aaq810gs/6/
Any help is appreciated!
If i understand right you want something like this:
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;
float: right;
top: -100px;
}
Applied in your first example.
fiddle
Or something like this:
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
position: fixed;
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
fiddle
I am not really sure if I get exactly what you mean, but I think something like this could work for you.
- You better switch to %, because than it will work better on mobile devices.
- Second thing is adding margin:0 auto; for #leftElement1 so it stays in the middle. #rightElement2 will just stick to it on the right, because it is inline-block.
Now you can add whatever margin to the wrapper and it stays the same.
Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/stassel/vzx6fm55/
HTML:
<div id="Wrapper1">
<div id="leftElement1">LEFT ELEMENT</div>
<div id="rightElement1">RIGHT</div>
</div>
CSS:
#Wrapper1 {
width: 90%;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px;
margin-left:10%;}
#rightElement1 {
background-color: blue;
width: 10%;
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;}
#leftElement1 {
background-color: green;
width: 60%;
margin:0 auto;
display: inline-block;}
div {
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
color: white;}
SOLVED
Thank you for all your answers! Unfortunately I wasn't able to describe my Question properly, so none of the solutions worked.
Finally I was able to solve the problem myself. The Key to the solution was another centered outer wrapper, with a fixed size of the to-be-centered Element and overflow: visible. The inner content overlaps now the outer wrapper.
#outerWrapper {
width: 700px;
overflow: visible;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#Wrapper {
width: 810px;
background-color: red;
}

How do i wrap a parent div to the width of a child div (dialog)?

Jsfiddle to demonstrate my issue.
I have a SPA (Single Page Application).
In the appliation several dialogs can popup on the screen.
Every popup has it own width and height.
The title and content of the dialogs are added by angularJs
The problem i have here is the size of the dialog.
Currently all popups are made and added seperatly. I want to change this into one popup with variable content. The problem that comes with this is that the popup must wrap the contents width.
Example (as shown in the Jsfiddle)
<div class="dialog">
<div class="titlebar"></div>
<div class="content">
The content that is added has css that tells it has a width of 400px
This means the dialog needs to wrap to this 400px
</div>
</div>
How do i solve this by only using CSS?
Some examples of the variation of popups (although the width of both look the same, this is not the case)
Use display:table for the dialog.
Here is your Updated Fiddle.
For young browser you may use :
1) display:flex; property (includes centering) DEMO
.backdrop {
position: fixed;
top:0;
}
.backdrop {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 100;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.dialog {
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
2) max-content as value for width and not set any width to inner
content . (exept some padding to keep room for the close button) :
DEMO
Info on W3C about those new keywords value, soon avalaible i hope.
CSS updated
.dialog {
width: max-content;
z-index: 101;
margin: auto;
/* basic way t o center */
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin:-80px -150px;
}
.titlebar {
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
background-color: #000000;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
}
.title{
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size: x-large;
padding:0 50px 0 10px;
}
.close_button {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
line-height:30px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: #ffd549;
color: #000000;
}
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.content-width {
background-color:#FFF000;
}
or as already said , use the display: table, inline-table
Using display: inline-block; text-align: center;
Works in ie >= 8.
Fiddle.
I don't understand the problem.
If you want to center the content-width div element, simply add margin: auto;.
If you want the container to fit the WIDTH of its content, you must change the display property from block to something else, like inline-block or table (as suggested by #jacelysh).
What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
A div without a set width will take up the width of the parent.
try this.
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
min-width: 100%;
}
.content-width {
width: 100%;
background-color:#FFF000;
}

Checking again now. You can just remove the width from those two classes and it will work.
This is what you want I think.

Make div stretch to length of it's content and beyond if parent div is longer?

I want to make a div (my sidebar) stretch to the bottom of the page. I know that I need to add "height: 100%;" in order to do that.
But when I add height: 100%;, pages that have less content than the sidebar cuts the sidebar's height and then you can't see the sidebar content.
This is the index page . Everything looks exactly the way I want it to.
This is a sample page . Notice that the sidebar has been cut.
CSS:
#menu-container {
background-image: url('floral.png');
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
#menu {
background-image: url('menubg.png');
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 20px;
color: #e8e8e8;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
width: 1000px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks in advance!

The changed CSS fixed my second problem but now I'm back to the cut off sidebar on shorter pages: See here: http://www.tarawilder.com/staging/?page_id=19
I'm leaving my house now, I'll be able to respond later tonight. Thanks again for your help!
#container {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 900px;
}
try this..it will give you the result you want..though there are many other mistakes in your html markup
some other areas where you need to be careful...
your container's width is 900px..which contains side menu and the large text...combined width of your side menu and the large text is far greater than your 900px width of your container..as you are not using overflow:hidden; you cant see the effect...why dont you apply overflow:auto; width:100% or something like that
BETTER CSS::
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
ACCORDING TO YOUR NEW PROBLEM :: now your body height must be more than 100% now..thats why after 100% height your side menu becomes invisible
CHANGED CSS ::
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
your third problem ::
strange...you are now using width:100% for your cantainer..and your container contains side menu and large text...and side menu has width of 300px and then your having width of 1000px for large text..so naturally the overflowed part ot the text gets invisible; and also remove position:absolute; from container
now your css
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
vertical-align: top;
}
NOTE:: don't delete your edited part of your question..you have already deleted the 2nd edit you made to your question earlier...it will create difficulties for future users to relate the answer with question
Make sure that your parent containers (#container, body, html) are height:100%; as well.
Personally, I would do something like this(if the rest of the site layout allows it):
Instead of creating separate backgrounds for #menu, #menu-caontainer and body i would create background on body something like this: http://cl.ly/image/3L060f2w3Z0s
that would repeat vertically on y axis, so no matter how high the body is the background would stretch/repeat to the bottom.
