there seem to be a few posts on this subject but i can't find anything conclusive one way or the other, so thought i'd try on here for someone far more knowledgeable in CSS than me! I have 3 container divs which have background images to give the impression of a tapered out line effect at the top and bottom of the main content. I can't get the middle div to dynamically expand as far as i need it to, it seems to need a specific height. Is there any way to get height: auto or 100% working on this? The site is here - thanks!
Edit: Sorry, you are trying to stretch the background image.
The technique is to remove the float:right; style and add a margin to the left:
#main_body {
float: right; //remove this
margin-left: 320px; //add this
}
-works on Chrome
There are solutions described. You can use pure css to do it or even use javascript.
I am considering that you are only requiring a css solution. Try the following CSS.
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
or
html{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}

I'm new to this stuff and trying to design a mock car sales website for a project, but I need some help, bearing in mind a beginner, I have designed a basic layout with divs, and I want to put a badge in the top right of the banner, but the logo went in fine using the following and CSS:
img.logo
{
position: relative;
top:15px;
left: 24px;
}
But when I try to put in a "badge" in the right hand side it moves the logo?
Anyknow know how to keep them both on the same line, also in general whats the best way to postion elements within a webpage? CSS or seperate divs?
when using different div's you should use float:right; and clear:both; in the next element.
but try to set it as a background-image:
background-image:url('./url/to/file.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:right;
to answer your general question: both!
use div's and position them with css.
Hard to say without the knowing the html but I would look at display:inline-block and float:right
CSS is cascading style sheets, and it is a styling language. A div is a tag belonging to the markup language HTML.
I would encourage you to follow tutorials on both css and html. There are a gazillion online. Also, make sure you learn how to inspect web pages and view source, so you can learn from what others have done. Best of luck in your endeavors!
Try to use
img.logo
{
position: absolute;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-left: 100px;
}
just change the value of margin-top and margin-left until you place it on your desired position. you can also use negative ex. -100px;
I am trying to position a Twitter and Facebook image next to my portrait on my website but in order to get the positioning correct i have to use divs. The problem is that when i add a div to the image and a link to it the div makes the image unable to be clicked and go to the link. I can't get rid of the divs because its the only way for my images to be positioned correctly. I will post a JSfiddle below with the code.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HeyItsProdigy/RVUhV/
Area of issue : <div id="facebook"><img src="fb.png" height="101" width="101" />
The problem isn't exactly as you describe. The issue is that your positioning is causing your Twitter element to overlap the others, which makes them un-clickable.
There's unfortunately not an easy solution. I think you're going to have to rethink your whole CSS structure, including eliminating the deprecated <center> tags to figure this one out. Good luck.
Use z-index:
#twitter {
position:relative;
bottom:290px;
left:168px;
z-index: 1;
}
#facebook {
position:relative;
top:83px;
right:168px;
z-index: 5;
}
jsfiddle
However, this type of CSS styling shouldn't be used in this manner. Using rules such as top, left, bottom, right etc should rarely be used for positioning, unless using absolute positioned elements.
You should look into using margin and padding as well as display properties for positioning your divs. Much of this code can be taken out.
I'm very sorry to tell you, but the answer is: do a modern HTML tutorial!
You should try Code Academy they have interactive course for beginners and intermediates with direct feedback. It seems you got stuck with an old HTML 3/4 book which won't do you any good.
But I also got an direkt answer for your link problem: this fiddle where you include the images as background-images and by using your classes and selectors efficiently you have to write(mostly copy+paste) very few lines if you want to add something.
You do the most with this CSS part:
.socialmedia a {
display: block; /* Because the image is probably higher than the text */
height: 50px; /* you have to set it to block and height 50px to show the image */
padding-left: 55px; /* make room for the background image(50px) and extra margin(+5px) */
padding-top: 12px; /* center in the middle of the image */
padding-bottom: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
Example g+:
CSS:
.g a {
background: url(logo_g_50x50.png) no-repeat;
}
HTML
<li class="g">+1 me on g+</li>
and done!
It's easier to read and even easier to maintain for later reuse or additions
I realise this question has been asked multiple times in differently worded titles and options, but i have yet to find something that works for me.
Im trying to have an img fill most of the screen (keeping its aspect ratio) without overflowing the edges. (Basically what the firefox browser accomplishes when viewing an image)
Most that i've tried either works in only one direction ie. width will resize but will end up overflowing the height and the same for the other way, either with CSS or JScript. Also playing a factor in my trouble is that i want to aplly this to both portrait and landscape images (More or less any image i have on the site)
This seems like it should work using pure CSS but doesnt (im not completely knowledgeable in all CSS though):
Link to JSFiddle
body, html {
margin:auto;
padding:6px;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
img {
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
}
There are a hand full of other scripts as well, but this post is getting a bit long.
Could anyone help me out containing my images within the screen, with either JQuery or CSS (within or without a DIV)
Thanks in advance,
Try this jQuery plugin: TailorFit
and check out the demo.
You can play around with various options in the demo to figure out if this could work for you. The browser support is extreme because it only uses jQuery and relative positioning.
Full disclosure - I'm the author of the plugin.
Now define your html, body height 100%;
as like this
body, html {
height:100%;
}
MY ANSWER:
I ended up just wrapping the image in a div and setting the div dimensions in CSS:
PURE CSS Resize
Unfortunately this method may look quite horrible in older browsers but it has atleast got me out of a pickle and its a tiny piece of styling.
Hopefully i can find some jQuery alternative soon.
body, html {
width:98%;
height:98%;
}
.outer {
position:fixed !important;
position:absolute;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
top:10px;
right:0;
bottom:10px;
left:0;
}
img {
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
padding:4px;
background-color:#fff;
}
----
<div class="outer">
<img src="whatever.jpg" />
</div>
So, maybe I just suck at searching, but I'm having real trouble finding a method to do this, so here goes...
I have a webpage with a fixed image background (tiled, non scrolling).
I now want to have a colored div on top of that (700px wide, 100% height, centered) that I can then put more content within (doesn't necessarily have to be a div, I just want a colored area in the center.)
Here's an image of what I'm working towards: http://bit.ly/g5qgj0
The lightly colored area (on top of which lies everything else) is what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks in advance, I'm still getting to know HTML/CSS and this has been driving me crazy XP
html, body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
body{
background:transparent url(...) repeat 0 0;
}
div{
margin:0 auto;
width:700px;
height:100%;
background:white;
}

I think your most foolproof way to do this is going to involve Javascript/jQuery, which I did in JSFiddle. You might want to add a CSS min-height on that #container as a fallback if Javascript is disabled or whatever.

what could be causing the bottom scrollbar? i cant figure it out.
i tried this
http://blog.josh420.com/archives/2007/11/fixing-the-ie-overflow-vertical-scrollbar-bug.aspx
but the page kind of got messed up the bottom content got chopped off.
From your CSS:
body {
background-color:black;
background-image:url(../images/contentbg.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height:536px;
background-position:top left;
color:white;
}
try adding overflow-x: hidden; and possibly also width: 100%;
or try adding
html{
width:100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
play around with these, the right combination should make it work OK.
It looks like your CSS has several things with large widths or margins which could be invisibly going off the side of the page - most likely a positioning difference between IE and other browsers.
In firefox, the firebug addon allows you to inspect all the elements of your page. If there's something like that for IE it should help you identify the offending element. Otherwise, maybe try setting all borders to a width of 1 pixel with various colours to try to highlight which element is sitting out there.
Had the same problem and this solved it for me:
html
{
overflow: auto;
}
