CSS transparent sticky element with list-content not showing beneath - html

I have a scrolling list with elements that I want to be sticky. So far so good, I found examples for that. My problem is that I want these sticky elements to be transparent to show the background image, but when removing the background colour of the sticky elements I now have the problem, that the list elements will be visible below them as well, making them unreadable.
How can I achieve that the content will be "cropped" and not be shown under those sticky elements?
Here is the example I tried to get right. Sadly my understanding of webdevelopment is still limited so it looks a bit scuffed at the moment:
body {
font: bold 18px/21px Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

}
.card {
margin: 20px;
padding: 20px;
max-height: 300px;
overflow: scroll;
}
p {

How to get code a text overlay and image to be responsive?

I am attempting to re-create something similar to this image below, minus the little page curl in top right hand corner.
Banner Example:
I am adding the code to a previously coded website by another designer. I am first coding it separately, but cannot get the text and banner to be responsive, though the image is. Nor can I get it to overlay like I wish on the image itself.
Here is my code below, I know it is something simple but seem to be hitting a mental wall.
#charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
/*Header Image*/
.headerimage
img
{
}
h1
{
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 100%;
font-size: 1.45em;
font-family: 'Roboto Slab', Rockwell, Serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-shadow: 0 .125em .125em rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
padding: .6em 1em .6em 1.7em;
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(178,34,34,0) 0%,rgba(169,32,32,0.8) 5%,rgba(160,30,30,1) 50%,rgba(152,29,29,0.8) 75%,rgba(178,34,34,0) 100%);
}

border: 1px solid #b22222;
padding: 1px;

I didn't want to type out all your code so here is an example.
Note: When I posted this one, no codes were up, I left it up in case it helps others. The code for the answer is at the bottom of the answer.
https://jsfiddle.net/norcaljohnny/5o95L0qy/
.box {
background: grey;
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
.text {
font-size: 6vw
}
Updated: Here is the current JsFiddle. Hope this helps.

Positioning of CSS image div

EDIT: Fixed it, I am daft. It was because h1 is below the div.
So I was making some web page for a school project and I keep running into this annoying problem, I am trying to make an image gallery on the page with multiple thumbnails all in ordered categories on a page. e.g. since it is video game themed it should be like heroes and maps. Problem is when I place an image, the image pushes the text I had at the top of the screen under it, probably a really simple solution to this just need a bit of help. thanks. here is the link
CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: bigNoodle;
src: url(Font/big_noodle_titling_oblique.ttf);
}
#splash {
z-index: 100;
position: absolute;
background: white url('Pictures/logo.png') center no-repeat;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
font-family: bigNoodle;
color: #939393;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 40px;
}
body {
background: url('Pictures/bg.jpg') center fixed no-repeat;
}
h1 {
z-index: 1;
font-family: bigNoodle;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 60px;
color: #F99E1A;
padding-top: 10px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
div.picture img {
height: 200px;
}
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='anim.js'></script>
<title>Wiki</title>
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="Pictures/logo.png" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="splash">Click to continue...</div>
<div class="picture">
<img src="Pictures/Heroes.jpg">
</div>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
</body>
</html>
You can achieve it in multiple ways
Way 1:
You can apply z-index for text
for instance text 'welcome' is there inside h1
h1
{
z-index:999;
}
way 2:
take your image as background of div

How to remove the margin at the top of my page

I want to delete the margin top of my page. I will show you what I mean with a screenshot
You can see in my pic there are a red arrow that indicate my problem. How I can delete this margin?
I post here my css:
div#header {
background-color: #6495ED;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 100% 90deg, black, gray);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, center top, center bottom, from(gray), to(black));
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
body {
background-color: #000000;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 5px;
}
li {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
p {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
padding: 5px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
So any suggestion about how I can delete this margin just above my header?
Here you can see my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>
<title>Lista coupon</title>
<script src="../js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/memoria.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style src="../css/style.css" type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body onload="loadJson();">
<div id="header">
<h1>Lista coupon salvati</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Di seguito trovi tutte le promozioni salvate</p>
<div id="list">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Set margin: 0; to <h1> element
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5w6Es/
Same problem as with the margin-left of <ul> elements, or margin-top / margin-bottom of <p> elements, etc.
You need to reset their default styles when using them at the borders of your page.
Try removing padding and margin also for the html element, (not only the body)
Try also to remove the default margin (differently) applied by every browser to the h1 element that you didn't redefined/reset and which is probably collapsing over the #header element
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h1 {
...
margin: 0;
}
You need to add margin:0px; to this CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/vv6DL/
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
margin:0px;
}
You don't say what browsers its occuring in.
If you use Firebug and its tools you should be able to see what is causing the spacing and then set that to zero, however, a "cheat" would be to use a reset css script such as Meyers http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ to clean up all those browser inconsistencies.
Try This
h1
{
margin:0px;
}
The best way I've found to do this is by adding the :first-child pseudo-element in your css to your first element such as <h1> or <ul> etc etc within your body-element.
So an example using your mark up above would be
h1:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
This eliminates interfering with all further <h1> elements in your code and also without needless css classes added to your html mark-up.
I hope this helps as I was having the sam problem with little luck with the answers provided.

CSS background configuring

Here's the image:
My code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>FLoung</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
body {
background-color: #cfcfcf;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
color:#666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
width: 700px;
margin: auto;
padding: 5px;
margin-top: 75px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
Test
</div>
</body>
</html>
how would I go about doing the second dark layered background? the top part is light grey, how would I go about doing the bottom part dark?
Would I just create a new div, with a z-index?
You could just split the wrapper div into two divs with different background colours
Example here

Yet another white space between divs

Sorry to ask the same question many before me have asked... I have read lots of these and they all say change
margin: 0;
There is a gap between the two divs (div class ="heady" and div class="menus") I just can't seem to get rid of the white space, hopefully it is clear enough, let me know if its not.
Thanks James.

Here is a link to a jsFiddle.
Browsers apply default styles to ceratin elements. In this case it's ul that gets some margin. Note that this margin separates the divs even though the divs themselves have no margins.
Use
ul { margin: 0; }
or include a reset stylesheet
Are you using the Firebug plugin for Firefox? Even if you don't already use firefox, you should download it along with the firebug plugin. With Firebug you can look at an element in your source code and see the styles that are being applied, the layout (width/height, padding, margin), and even manipulate the styles to view what a change in your CSS would do.
I HIGHLY recommend it!
Download Firefox
Download Firebug
.heady { display:block; }
.heady { margin:0; padding:0; }
.heady { line-height:100%; /* or even 0 (if no text present) */ }
the content can fool here, but 1 or all 3 of those should tame the beast across browsers.
google for a "css reset" too
