I have...
<div id="tabs">
<!-- ... -->
<div id="interior-photo">
<img src="...">
</div>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
... and ...
#interior-photo { overflow-x: auto; }
Basically, I have a page broken down into a main section and a fixed-width right sidebar. Within the main section, I have my tabbed div. The entire page grows with the width of the window, so when the window is resized, the tabbed div grows horizontally in size too.
My problem is that the image that I'm loading inside one of the tabbed divs is generally much, much wider than the window usually is (they're panorama pictures; very lengthy horizontally, but not much vertically).
I know that I can force the contents of #interior-photo to scroll horizontally using the CSS rule above, but that only seems to work when that same div has a fixed width. Since I want that div to have a variable width, it always seems to display the full width of the image, pushing my layout way out of whack.
I know how to fix this using Javascript, but I was wondering if anyone has a CSS-only solution. If you need more information about my layout to solve this issue, please let me know. Thanks!
Unless your target div is constrained either by a fixed width style or by a container with a fixed width or whose ancestors include a fixed width, you won't be able to get your target div to acquire scrollbars. It will just go as wide as its contents, and the browser scrollbars will take over.
Actually, there is a way around this. You can specify to display the image with scrollbars, and thus confine the viewable portion to the size of the div. Basically, the image will expand to the size of the div, and then have a horizontal scrollbar if the horizontal image size exceeds the horizontal size of the div. Scrollbars will not be displayed if the image's vertical component exceeds the div's. You can set both the x and y to scroll on overflow with the overflow declaration. However, in order to use any of these, the div's size must be controlled through some means, even through the initial declaration.
#interior-photo { overflow-x: scroll; }

I have a project that involves having a sidebar that floats over an image. The sidebar is set to position: absolute to keep it over the image and to help it scale along with it when the screen size changes.
Here is a codepen that basically recreates what I'm working on: https://codepen.io/gojiHime/pen/JmYqaz
The issue I'm having is with controlling the size of the contents within the wrapper container. I want the preview div to scale along with the wrapper container. Currently, it does not work as expected in that the preview div does not start scaling as the width and height change for wrapper and for thumbs-inner. The thumbs-inner div scales correctly for the most part, but the bottom of div is cut off so you can't see the bottom of the scroll bar in smaller screens.
I know I set overflow: hidden on wrapper but without it the content in preview would extend outside of it as the height of wrapper changed.
So, I'm looking for ideas on how to fix the aforementioned issues. wrapper must stay absolutely positioned and the thumbs-inner div needs to have a vertical scrolling feature, so I can't do anything with those. I don't think setting a height makes sense for wrapper since it needs to scale responsively in height and width.
EDIT: Not sure how much this will help but this is a screenshot of what the layout of everything should look like: enter image description here
The Kraftmaid logo, full-size thumbnail and the text below it (which are in the .preview div in the codepen) have to be visible at all times when changing the screensize.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but generally for responsive layouts you would want to avoid fixed dimensions, such as specific widths set in x number of pixels.
This shows your code with responsive layouts for .wrapper and .thumbs-inner (note that I haven't addressed any content issues within those two divs since I have no idea what your intended layout is):
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/ZqrZaj
Note that:
I've switched the two layout divs to use box-sizing: border-box; which will allow you to use pixels for margin and padding but still use percentages for width.
I've removed width from .wrapper and switched to percentage based absolute left and right declarations - if you modify these values, the layout should still work.
I've added borders to make the layout more obvious.
The situation is a jqGrid inside a div where the size of the grid is larger than the div both vertically and horizontally. The goal is to have the column headers scroll left and right with horizontal scroll, and also keep them always visible when scrolling vertically.
It is easy enough to add CSS to have both scrollbars by setting overflow-x: auto to the div containing the jqGrid and overflow-y to auto for the ui-jqgrid-bdiv.
The problem with this technique is that the vertical scrollbar is only visible when the grid is scrolled horizontally to the right enough to show the right side of the grid. Making the ui-jqgrid-bdiv scroll and using DOM manipulation to set the sizes of the containing elements results in both scrollbars being visible, but the body content scrolls without scrolling the column headers.
There is a similar stack overflow question JqGrid add vertical scroll with horizontal scolling, but the answers do not address this.
It doesn't look as if there would be a pure CSS solution given the DOM structure of the grid. Is there a JavaScript solution out there, perhaps one listening to scroll events?
You could set the height and width property of the grid itself so that the grid will take care of the scrolling instead of the div that it is nested in. Set the dimensions to be the same or slightly smaller than the div's.
<div style="height:200px; width:100px;">
<table id="grid"></table>
</div>
<script>
$("#grid").jqGrid({
height: '200',
width: '100',
shrinkToFit: false //Tells the grid to let columns go to set size
//Add all your properties
});
</script>
OR
if you can get away with not setting the width and height of the parent div, you can just set the grid's dimensions like shown above. As long as the grid's properties are set to a certain size, it will make it's own scroll bars if the data is outside of those bounds.

I'd like to have many elements fixed, but then have the main text block scroll.
Before I start coding, I'd just like some advice on the best way to do this. Should I wrap ALL the fixed elements together, and then inside that, have a relative element for the scrolling part?
Here is what I am trying to do:
I think you should create a main wrapper for your page which will have a relative position and that you center horizontally on your page (using margin: 0 auto; for example).
Then add inside that wrapper a <nav> for your top navigation and set its css position property to fixed, and then do the same for the sidebar with a <aside>.
Then add inside the wrapper a <div id="content"></div> for instance for your content and set its css position property to relative. If you want the content of this div to scroll vertically, you can add the following css : overflow: auto;
If I understand you well, you want your content to change without the page being reloaded & that the content scrolls, but not the rest.
You can :
Wrap your content into an iframe, so you can change the content without refreshing the whole page with a fixed height,
Just use a fixed height to your content div, and set this :
#yourDivId{
overflow:scroll;
overflow-y:none;
height: XXX px; //Fixed height;
}
Note : your mouse will have to hover the content to scroll it.
Well an advice?
Create separately three blocks; for fixed Nav, Fixed sidebar(for category) and scrolled main block(article). It'll be easy to order, I guess.
How many Category will display on the fixed sidebar? if the list heigher than window's screen, some category will be hidden unless you make it 'overflow:auto'. also consider about possibility of user resizing the screen.
Happy Coding !
I have a div that is positioned:absolute, this div extends outside the bounds of my site wrapper as it just contains a background image for a slider and doesn't need to be seen all the time. The problem is I cannot work out how to stop this div triggering the scrollbar. I have tried different combinations of overflow and position and cannot work it out.
If you inspect the element with firebug, just place it over the shadow behind the slider and you will see the div in question. You notice the scrollbar kicks in as soon as the browser bounds touches it.

Can anyone let me know how to stop the scrollbar appearing for the shadow div?

It is the size of the DIV. When I inspect it using Chrome, the CSS shows that the container DIV was set to 520px width and the problematic DIV was set to 733px, so it actually exceeds the 980px width center area. Unless you want the shadow to disappear, I suggest moving it a bit to the left and make the div left to it smaller.
You can use the CSS overflow-x:hidden on the body element.
Other more complicated way that comes to mind is using jQuery to detect the size of the window and resize the problematic div according to the window's size.
Firstly, thanks to those that commented.
I have come up with a solution that allows me to keep the layout the same while still adhering to the document width. What I did was create a #wrap2 inside the main wrapper which has a width of 100% (full width of browser window).
#wrap2 {background: url(../css_img/slider-bg.png) no-repeat center 317px; }
The trick to this was making sure the image position was set to center. This means the image would also remain relative to the content when resizing the browser. The way I made the shadow line up behind the slider was to add blank pixels to the left, so the image ended up being about 1200px wide, this pushed shadow part right. Because it's all blank pixels it only added about 1kb. If someone thinks there is a better solution let me know.
I have several divs that I set up to be positioned next to each other. However, when I resize the window to be smaller, the 2nd and third div from the left drops below the first one. How do I make it so that instead of dropping underneath the first div, the browser would show she horizontal scroll bar?
Do you have fixed width set to these divs?
Please post your html code of the divs
Either you need to put a width to the parent container div as suggested by Arun or post your html to let us see
Set the width of the parent div to some value.
<div style="width: 700px">
<div>Content1</div>
<div>Conten2</div>
<div>Conten3</div>
</div>
