I have been trying to add a scroller to my context section that will only allow the box to scroll horizontally within the visible of the viewer's screen, not vertical.
Does anyone know any code to have scrollable content in a div in a fluid css layout design?
Also, here is a link to a website that has the exact scroll effect I am trying to recreate: http://patrickhoelck.com/home.html
Does anyone know any code to have scrollable content in a div in a fluid css layout design?
'overflow: auto' will add the scroll bar when necessary.
The trick is to make sure the content inside the scrollable element exceeds the normal width of the element, instead of simply reflowing onto a new row in which case it'll never trigger a scroll bar. One way to do this is by using 'white-space: nowrap'.
You probably want to take a look at overflow-x: scroll, which, along with setting a fixed size on the parent, will force a horizontal scrollbar if the content is too wide.
Some example html:
<div style="width: 50px; overflow-x: scroll">
<p>Hello world!</p>
<p>Here is a div with a horizontal scrollbar!</p>
</div>

I have a construct like the following:
<div class="content">
<div class="menu">--- mymenu ---</div>
<div class="edit">--- myeditor ---</div>
</div>
The menu and edit classes are display:inline so they will sit side by side.
I give the user the option to 'scale' the editor (using css scale) but when I do, the content div remains the same height as the un-scaled edit div. The edit div has set width and height, bit is then modified with something like:
-webkit-transform:scale(1.25);
-moz-transform:scale(1.25);
-ms-transform:scale(1.25);
which works fine for scaling the edit div, but the content div won't scale to accommodate it. I can make the content div overflow:visible and that will show the contents of edit, but overwrites anything below it on the page.
How can I get my content div to scale when I scale the edit div?
I have the following structure:
<div id="wrap">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
</div> <!--close header-->
<div id="main">
… etc
I'm trying to display a background image that will show the full height of the image, but not force the page to scroll as a result of it but that will scroll with the page content.
I've placed a #bgimage div after the opening tag of the #container div and I've tried the following CSS:
position:fixed + height:100% - displays the full height of the image but doesn't scroll with the page content
position:absolute + height:100% - scrolls with the page but cuts off the image where the page content ends
position: absolute + height:1000px - displays the full image but forces the page to scroll
Any idea?
Thanks
Set the background on the body itself. CSS3 allows you to set multiple backgrounds in case you already got one. Although this doesn't work in IE8 and before.
[edit]
Since that doesn't work in your page, try to make the bgimage div a container for your page content without specifying an exact height. Set the min-height to 100%.
That way, it should size to the page content. It will always reach to the bottom of the window, and it won't force scrollbars when they're not needed. The min-height causes the div to fill the window in case the content is smaller than the window height.
Use background-attachment: fixed; it will scroll with the page.
Background
I have the following html code:
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
I'm the child!
</div>
</div>
I want the parent div to be positioned relative to the bottom of the page as with the css properties position: absolute, bottom: 0px.
This works fine if the child div(s) have no padding or border. However, as showcased in this JSFiddle example, if the child has padding or a border, it expands beyond the bottom of the parent div (notice the rendered page is scrollable and there is additional content from the child div below the bottom of the page).
Question
What's the best way to make sure the parent div fully encompasses the child div vertically? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't appear to be a problem with horizontal padding/borders)
My best idea was to add the sum of the padding/border/margin of to the padding to the parent div. Using something like SASS to generate the actual css makes this slightly more palatable, but still seems like a really unclean solution. Is there a better way?
Thanks!
(As a side note, when I made the JSFiddle example I noticed the right border was missing on the child div. Is this just a fluke with JSFiddle or something?)
If you get rid of those display: inline;s it will work like a charm.
How can I achieve the following layout? Specifically the positioning of Image and DIV
I've found that unless I set a specific width for the Div, it will just go on to the next line and take up the full width of the container. Additionally aligning it relative to the bottom of the image is giving me trouble. Currently they're both float:left
Edit: The two solutions so far work if the image is a constant width which I guess I could work with, but it's going in a Wordpress theme for an author's profile page and it's possible that images would have slightly variable widths. Is there a solution that would have the Div right next to the image (minus padding) regardless of how wide or narrow the image is? Basically having the div adjust its width to accommodate the image width.
Tested in IE7/8, Firefox, Chrome.
Live Demo #2
CSS:
#container{width:80%; padding:12px; margin:0 auto}
#top{position:relative;overflow:auto}
#top img{float:left; background:red; width:100px; height:180px}
#header{position:absolute; bottom:0; right:0}
#content{height:200px}
JS/jQuery:
$('#header').css('margin-left', $('#top img').width() + 10);
(you might want to change the + 10 for parseInt($('#top img').css('margin-right'), 10))
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="top">
<img src="" />
<div id="header">Some text here that should wrap to fit on row. Some text here that should wrap to fit on row. Some text here that should wrap to fit on row. Some text here that should wrap to fit on row. </div>
</div>
<div id="content">dfgdfg</div>
</div>
I'd put the header image and header div inside its own container and position the items within it using absolute positioning.
I've put together a quick sample here: http://jsfiddle.net/JjxYj/1/
Notice here that if you remove the width of the Div in the header, it will become the width of its content.
Update
To answer the updated part of the question, here's another solution that'll allow the image to be of any width whilst still positioning the header text at the bottom of its containing item: http://jsfiddle.net/JjxYj/5/
I have a div with style position:fixed and i want it to scroll down the page, but i don't want the div to spill into the page footer. How could i accomplish this?
thanks in advance,
shawn
Try this.
CSS
body, html {height:100%;margin:0;padding:0} /* margin and padding 0 for firefox*/
.mainBody {height:90%;overflow:auto;}
HTML
<div style="border:1px solid black;">TOP</div>
<div class="mainBody">
<div style="height:800px;"></div> <!-- To for scroll -->
HERE IS Main Body
</div>
This will transfer the scroll bars from the window, to the div that is showing your content.
The TOP div will stay put where ever you want it, so you can position it aboslutely or leave it as is, and have it never collide with your footer, which you can put in your main body div.
I've had the same problem in the past and used a Javascript onscroll event to detect if the position:fixed element is going to collide with the footer. If it is, I change it to position:absolute with a top attribute just above overlapping the footer.
Then when they start scrolling back up the page and it's no longer overlapping the footer, I change it back to position:fixed.
Also, if you're planning to have this element scroll in IE6, I recommend CSS expressions for position:fixed emulation.
