I am trying to create a page similar to Google's homepage. It is to have a centrally located input box and a div on top of the page displaying links. I also want the page to resize itself dynamically if I change the size of the browser window. I have achieved partial success using yui2 grid css and a table. Here's a snippet:
<body>
<div id="doc3">
<div id="hd"><a style="float:left" href="link1.com"> link1</div>
<div id="bd" style="display: table; height: 400px;">
<div style="display: display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle">
<input name="searchbox" value="searchinput" size="40" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="search />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
The only issue with this html is that the page doesn't dynamically resize upon resizing the browser window. Is there a better way of doing this ?
You can use jQuery to set it to perfectly.
jQuery
$(window).resize(function() {
var wh = (($(window).height()-$('#center').height())/2)+'px';
var ww = (($(window).width()-$('#center').width())/2)+'px';
$('#center').css({
top: wh,
left: ww
});
}).resize();
CSS
#center {
border: 1px solid black;
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
}
If you don't care about perfectly vertically centered, you could do:
#center {
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
width: 50px;
top: 45%; /* or whatever % looks 'right' */
}

I need to open/close a div container that will always appear at the top left corner no matter where I am on a page that has page scrolling. Position fixed would be acceptable in a desktop environment but in a mobile environment I need the user to be able to pull up or move down the div container so they can get to other input fields. If I use position absolute the div container could appear out of view if you are scrolled down at the bottom of the page.
Example problem using fixed... The mobile device popup keyboard will cover the lower input field. If you change position to absolute then you can see the out of view issue. https://jsfiddle.net/r71vb73u/15/
#workarea {
width: 160px;
padding: 5px;
height: 400px;
position: fixed;
background: #cccccc;
}
.input1 {
height: 90%;
}
.input2 {
height: 10%;
}
.blah {
float: left;
}
.buttons {
float: right;
}
.filler {
clear: both;
height: 800px;
}
function workarea(action) {
if (action == 'open') {
document.getElementById('workarea').style.display = '';
} else {
document.getElementById('workarea').style.display = 'none';
}
}
<body>
<div id="workarea">
<div class="input1">
<input type="text" value="hello">
</div>
<div class="input2">
<input type="text" value="world">
</div>
</div>
<div class="blah">blah blah ...</div>
<div class="buttons">
<input type="button" value="Open" onMouseDown="workarea('open');">
<input type="button" value="Close" onMouseDown="workarea('close');">
</div>
<div class="filler"></div>
<div class="blah">blah blah ...</div>
<div class="buttons">
<input type="button" value="Open" onMouseDown="workarea('open');">
<input type="button" value="Close" onMouseDown="workarea('close');">
</div>
</body>
Okay this wasn't my final answer but when u mention in mobile environment i got blank. But first i let u see my first answer. I will keep update until u say this is a correct answer. Check the DEMO
#workarea {
width: 160px;
padding: 5px;
position: fixed;
background: #cccccc;
left:0;
top:0;
bottom:0;
}
DEMO
Looks like I can add the following to the javascript action open:
document.getElementById('workarea').style.top = document.body.scrollTop + 10 + 'px';
This places the workarea at current top using position absolute.

So, I'm trying to make a chatbox, with the following:
<div class="text-container">
<div class="text" id="textholder">
<p>message</p>
...
<p>message</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="chatbox-container">
<div class="chatbox">
<input type="text" id="textinput" class="inputText" placeholder="Enter text" />
<input type="submit" class="send" onclick="addMessage()" value="Send" autofocus />
</div>
</div>
With the following css:
.text-container{
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
}
.text{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 25%;
width: 50%;
height: auto;
}
.chatbox-container{
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
overflow: auto;
}
Where I add some more p's to with the addMessage() function (just adds paragraph with text to innnerHTML of #textholder)
now the problem is that I can't get the text div to overflow(auto), which means the text just disappears.
I want the text to be in the center of the text-container, but I want the scroll to be on the container, so it looks like in skype.
How can I do this? Also, I've tried to basicly align the messages to the bottom of the textbox in a skypelike manner, but I've read that this can also be done by vertical-aligning. yet this didn't work how I wanted it.
Hopefully you get what I'm asking, English is not my native language, and I'm not sure if I'm asking it in the right way.
thanks in advance!
ps. please take into account that this is part of a bigger page, thus I left out some parts.
Ammend your text class to :
.text{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
height: 500px; //fix the height
width :90%;
overflow: auto; //scroll the content
}
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/logintomyk/pETfX/
You have made the container overflow, while the messages are in text, so you need to overflow that class mate!! :)
Probably this is what you are looking for
.text-container {
height:200px;
overflow: auto;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
.chatbox-container {
height: 30px;
}

I'm using twitter bootstrap for my css and the following code has an issue with the alignment:
see jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/graphicsxp/99rhF/ (make sure you enlarge the html view)
<div class="view-header">
<span class="view-title">Recherche de mandats</span>
<div class="pull-right">
<a style="line-height: 30px; margin-right: 20px; vertical-align: bottom; float: left;">
<span class="pointer">more options</span>
</a>
<form class="form-inline pull-left" placeholder="N° de contrat, nom/numéro de client" css-class="input-xxlarge">
<input class="input-xxlarge ng-dirty" type="text" placeholder="N° de contrat, nom/numéro de client" ng-model="model">
<button disabled="disabled" class="btn btn-info" type="submit"><i class="icon-search"></i> Rechercher</button>
</form>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="pull-right">
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
as you can see the button with the label 'Rechercher' is too far right. What am I doing wrong ?
There is nothing wrong with your button, its the containing element.
Update the css with:
.view-header {
background-color: #F5F5F5;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding: 10px 20px;
}
Removing width: 100%; Div's are block line elements, meaning they will fill their parent. This should solve your problem.
See:
http://jsfiddle.net/99rhF/2/
The parent element has a width of 100%, but padding isn't included in width calculations, so it ends up being 100% + 40px. You fix this by wrapping the contents in a container, and padding that instead.
http://jsfiddle.net/ndTuL/
.view-header {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 20px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #bbbbbb;
}
.content-wrap {
padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
}
First of all, I know I'm late to the party :)
Second - #Jamie Hutber has a very good and valid answer. No arguments here at all - it should remain the accepted answer for sure.
Third - Here's what I ran in to, and how I fixed it:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $str->head; ?>
</head>
<body>
<footer>
© Copyright 2021-$currentYear | All Rights Reserved | No Unauthorized Use Permitted | JPeG Web Development
</footer>
</body>
</html>
<footer> is also a Block Line Element, so width is not needed. Here's what I did instead:
CSS
body {
background-color: #f8f3ed;
max-width: 1200px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin-bottom: 2rem;
}
footer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 1.5rem;
font-size: 1rem;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 1200px;
padding: 5px;
}
Things to note is that the position: absolute; will mess up any text-direction and make it overflow, especially if you try and add a width: 100% to it. The right and bottom stick it on the bottom right corner no matter how much you scroll.
It's not exactly what the question was asking, but I thought it might be nice for people to see some alternate ways to have this issue, and resolve it.
Basically I'm making a navigation bar and due to Jquery doing a lot of resizing to make a website look 'pretty' I don't want to use a horizontal list and so each button is created like so:
<img src="homeicon.png"><span id="homex"><br /><img src="home.png" /></span>
(yes they're all image buttons for good reason)
but the only problem is they're fixed and set to "top 0" at the top of the page and as a result cannot sit next to each other but rather overlap, any idea on how I can I still keep the position to fixed and they top to 0 yet keep them next to each other?
HTML
<div id="top">
<img src="homeicon.png"><span id="homex"><br /><img src="home.png" /></span>
</div>
CSS
#top a.button { position: fixed; top: 0; padding: 12px; background: url('glacial_ice.jpg'); text-decoration: none; color: black; border-radius: 0px 0px 25px 25px; }
#top { position: relative; top:0; padding-left: 25px; }
Init function (runs on $(document).ready())
$('a.button').animate({
height: '+=5px',
}, 20, function() {
$('a.button').animate({
opacity: 0.6,
height: '-=5px',
}, 20);
});
Thanks
Put them all in a container, i.e. id="header", give the header position:fixed;top:0;etc...
Then, for each of the link/buttons give them:
position:relative;display:inline-block;float:left;
if you want them centered, then in the #header use text-align:center; and remove float:left from the links
So the container will be fixed, but the buttons inside will be relative and not overlap.
hope this helps!
very crude example
http://jsfiddle.net/6SCTZ/
<div id="header">
<div class="button">button1</div>
<div class="button">button2</div>
<div class="button">button3</div>
</div>
CSS:
#header { position:fixed;top:0;width:100%;height:30px;background:black; text-align:center }
.button {position:relative;display:inline-block;color:white;margin:0 5px 0 5px;}
Just put whatever elements need to be fixed within a container element (in this case, I'll use a div with an ID of "top_fixed").
Consider the following html:
<div id='top_fixed'>
<a href='http://google.com'>Google</a>
<a href='http://yahoo.com'>Yahoo</a>
</div>
<div id='tall'></div>
Now, the following CSS:
a { display: inline; }
#top_fixed { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: auto; }
#tall {height: 2000px; background: #000;}

When flash banners from thirdparty are displayed they are overlapping my code:
test URL is: http://test.otwierac.pl/ (refresh page many times and you will see)
Code is:
<div style="width:100%">
<div id="banner">
<script>
<!--
var d = new Date();
r = escape(d.getTime()*Math.random());
document.writeln('<script src="http://tracking.novem.pl/rotator/CD31115/59&js=1&r='+r+'&keyword="><\/script>');
//-->
</script><div id='beacon_1' style='position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;'><img src='http://test.otwierac.pl/reklamy/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=1&campaignid=1&zoneid=0&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.test.otwierac.pl%2F&referer=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.otwierac.pl%2F&cb=6d0002d6e4' width='0' height='0' alt='' style='width: 0px; height: 0px;' /></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS code:
#banner
{
margin-top:10px;
width:950px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
How to fix this ? Banners should be centered and not overlapping my text.
There's a flash parameter
wmode: opaque
Should do the trick
EDIT
From the adobe website:
opaque - The SWF content is layered together with other HTML elements on the page. The SWF file is opaque and hides everything layered behind it on the page. This option reduces playback performance compared to wmode=window or wmode=direct.
EDITED:
Try:
#banner {
height: 315px;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 950px;
}
