Heyo, I'm using a 2000px width image as a background for a 960px width webpage. I am trying to make it so it doesn't show a horizontal scrollbar when a part of the image is to the right of what's visible, but what I'm trying to do is not working for me.
Two IDs are involved. One is 'bg' which has the background image as its background and is positioned where I want it, while the other is 'bg_holder' which contains only 'bg' and which I tried to use to neatly cover the visible web page area and hide its overflow so the part of the background image that is jutting out wouldn't cause a scrollbar. But this does not appear work, as a scrollbar is created when there is a part of the image to the right of the visible web page (but not when it's to the left).
Is there anything wrong with this CSS snippet? Could something outside of this snippet be the source of the problem? Is there another approach I can take?
#bg_holder {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
min-width: 960px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
#bg {
background: url(../img/bg.jpg);
position: absolute;
height: 1050px;
width: 2000px;
margin-left: -1366px;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
}
To answer your question, by positioning #bg absolutely, you take it out of the document flow / out of it's parent element, so the overflow:hidden has no effect.
As an additional comment, you can position the background image exactly where you want (x, y) when you put it directly in #bg_holder, there doesn't seem to be any need to put the background in a separate div. As far as I can tell at least, but I haven't seen the rest of your code and don't know what you want to achieve exactly.

Design question here. How can I make the #main-wrapper slide over the #single-carousel on the following page: http://duijnisveld.wpengine.com/
Right now it moves up when scrolling, I need the carousel to stay put and make the main wrapper slide over it when scrolling down.
giving .header-foto-wrapper position: fixed and #main-wrapper position: relative gives unexpected behaviour for me, I'm clearly missing something important.
*note, in the url, the .header-foto-wrapper does not have the position fixed as it breaks the layout and it's a live site for the client to see.
Thanks!
You'll need to apply width. Things go a little wonky when a container calculates width once you pull it out of the content flow. A width:100% will fill the page width. You'll also want to move the content area down and apply a background color.
.header-foto-wrapper {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#main-wrapper {
position: relative;
top: 100%;
background: #fff;
}
By setting the position as absolute.
.wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 150px;
}

The title says it all. I have an image with height: 100% inside each of a couple display: inline-block <li> elements. When their container is position: static. All is peachy. But when I change it to position: absolute/fixed, the <li> elements get width of the original image, not the scaled down width even though the image itself has correct dimensions.
This behaves as expected in Chrome, but breaks in Firefox.
Did anyone encounter this behaviour? More importantly, is it possible to fix it without JS?
Background: I am making a responsive position: fixed gallery that fits the screen with image thumbnails covering bottom 20% of the viewport.
Isolated Demo (click the button to toggle position: static/fixed ):

Whole gallery

I finally got it working. It seems that when you declare something with
Position:fixed, left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
Only chrome recognizes that as "explicitly defined dimensions". Once I added height: 100%; Other browsers caught up. Fortunately the height 100% didn't break the layout even when the content underneath overflowed viewport.

It still breaks uniformily across all browsers when you try to resize the window. I guess, I'll have to calculate the widths by hand with JS

Check the demo, is that what you are looking for?
I have added these 2 lines of css to make it work like that:
/* Keep Position fixed at bottom */
#gallery:not(.toggle) { width: 100%; bottom: 0; top: auto; height: 20%; background: transparent; }
#gallery:not(.toggle) .gallery-thumbs{ height: 100%; }
I have this layout:

I need the blue and brown image to lay below the main content div, and both be aligned regardless of the window width, both centered horizontally.
I implemented a css tip I read on this site, which is having a div with absolute position and left: 50% and an img inside with relative position and left: -50%.
It works fine, except for the fact that it pushes the page width to the right, as you can see in the screenshot, the scrollbar can be seen.
3rd party lib solutions like jQuery are welcome, but I'd prefer plain CSS.
PS: I also need something similar below the footer, but I guess using the same solution with a negative bottom value should work, right?
PS2: Extending the blue-brown strip to both borders of the window is no problem as I already used another div with absolute position and background-repeat: repeat-x.
The scroll bar is appearing because of the left: 50%; on the class .header-image. You should drop that altogether. Since that tag has a width set, when you push it over 50% it falls outside the window forcing the scroll bar to appear.
After you drop the left call, you should then set the width of that div to the width of the window, not a specific value in pixels. Use Width: 100%. So, that tag should look like:
.header-image {
height: 245px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
After that, you'll need to re-center the image contained within the div. To do that, instead of using positions (which rely on set boundaries), give the element auto margins. Use :
.header-image img {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
That will recenter the image. Please let me know if this is what you were looking for!
Per Paulie_D's suggestion:
.header-image {
position:absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 40px;
width: 100%;
height: 245px;
background-image: url('header.png');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
That did it.
I am weak in css and can you please help with this problem. You can see problem by clicking on Login/Register link in the below url.
Test box url
This is done in drupal. I am not able get the css to make the div with id "toboggan-login" to appear under the "Login/Register" link
Forgot to mention. I put the below css code. It works in small resolution systems. But its does not work in my 22'' monitor.
div#toboggan-login {
position: absolute;
top: 23px;
left: 74em;
}
This will fix your issue:
CSS:
div#toboggan-login {
position:absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: 310px;
width: 160px;
}
Than if you want to distance it a bit from the Login/Register top, just add:
top:10px; or how much px you want!
To explain the above lines:
The left:50%; pushes your element in the middle of the screen, so even at window resize your element will stay there, centered.
But to set it appropriately to some center-left position than we add position-left that will adjust the element position to a desired amount of px left from the center.
Please see this UI sketch image, I have this div in sidebar (black box) on a certain site and as I scroll down or scroll up, I don't want it to hide...I want it to move itself down as I scroll down and move itself up as I scroll back up so that it never hides out. Can you recommend me some jQuery that can get this done? or something else. Please help, thanks.
Don't use jQuery for this please; it's pure CSS.
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
Adjust the exact position to your liking by adjusting top and left. Maybe you want it centered vertically like in the image (if the sketch is accurate in that aspect), in which case you have to deal with all the fun tricks necessary for vertical centering; hopefully in your case something like this would work:
#MyDiv
{
position: fixed;
top: 50%; /* This places the _top_ of the div in the middle of the page. */
left: 10px;
height: 500px;
margin-top: -250px; /* This moves the div upward by half of its height,
thus aligning the middle of the div with the middle
of the page. */
}
