How do I layer an image behind a <div>? - html

I've been trying to make a square image that is layered behind a <div>. For my website, I'm trying to make it look similar to an album with a CD popping out from the slip, but every attempt I've done to make the image square, layered behind and the same size as the <div> seems to not work. It's either on top, or it's overflowing to the bottom of the page.
Here's the HTML I did:
<div class="container">
<div id="navbar">
<div id="nav">
<div>
<i class="fa fa-home" aria-hidden="true"></i>Home
</div>
<div>
<i class="fa fa-address-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>About
</div>
<div>
<i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>Work
</div>
<div>
<i class="fa fa-question-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i>Extras
</div>
</div>
</div>
<iframe src="home.html" title="Webpage" id="content" name="content"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
<div class="disk">
<img src="/images/cd.svg">
</div>
And the CSS:
:root { /* to get the color just type var(--color) */
--color1:#150F0F; /*DARKEST*/
--color2:#221918;
--color3:#2C221F;
--color4:#423229;
--color5:#58493D;
--color6:#8D7357;
--color7:#BCAA9B;
--color8:#BCAA9B;
--color9:#F5DEAD;
--color10:#FFF9BC; /*BRIGHTEST*/
--border-size:3px;
}
.container {
min-height: 50vh;
width: 70%;
margin: auto;
margin-left:10%;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: minmax(2vw, 260px) auto;
background-color: var(--color9);
border: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-top-width: var(--border-size);
border-bottom-width: var(--border-size);
border-color: var(--color10);
z-index: 69;
}
#navbar {
height: auto;
width: auto;
padding: 10%;
float: left;
background-color: var(--color7);
font-family: PopMagic;
font-size: clamp(15px, 4vw, 30px);
}
#content {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
border:none;
}
.disk {
min-height: 50vh;
max-width: 85%;
margin: auto;
margin-left:10%;
margin-top: -50vh;
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
padding-bottom:100%;
}
.disk img {
min-height: 50vh;
position: absolute;
}
The site I'm using this on can be found here.

As you may expect there are as many approaches as developers.
You should consider how your layout is constructed at the moment because there is simply not enough space for your disc element.
If I were you I would get rid the following div
<div class="disk">
<img src="/images/cd.svg">
</div>
and try to use ::after psuedo-element instead.
...
.container {
border: none;
position: relative;
padding: 0 160px 0 0;
background-color: #0000;
::after {
right: 0;
content: '';
width: 160px;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
background-size: cover;
background-position: right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(/images/cd.svg);
}
}
...
Please don't expect the final solution here but take above code as a bunch of clues which may help to solve your problem.

How can you perfectly centre a grid within a container without using CSS Grid or flexbox?

Okay, so I thought that the grid was perfectly aligned to the center, only to realise that it was a few pixels out. I completely stripped all of my attempts at centering and looked online but couldn't find anything.
I know I can use CSS Grids, Flexbox etc. but I am trying to learn how to create websites without using any aid. So I can learn the reasoning behind things.
Fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/8L9ye7nj/5/
Grid HTML:
<div class="box-wrapper">
<div class="box-container">
<div class="box" id="stethoscope">
<div class="box-label">
<p>Book an appointment</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="box" id="prescription">
<div class="box-label">
<p>Request a repeat prescription</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="box" id="group">
<div class="box-label">
<p>Join the Patient Group</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Grid CSS:
.box {
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: 300px;
background-color: #252625;
color: #FFF;
position: relative;
padding: 15px;
margin: 0.5%;
}
.box-label {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
width: 100%;
padding: 7px 0;
left: 0;
}
.box-label:hover {
animation: box-stretch 1s forwards ease-in-out;
cursor: pointer;
}
.box-container {
width: 90%;
}
.box-container::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.box-wrapper {
background-color: #B21645;
padding: 30px;
}
How can you divide the box and center them?
You can use calc to use mathematical expressions to calculate height, widths etc in css. You can divide the width by three here for the box.
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: calc(100% / 3);
}
Things to consider
Mind the space between inline-block elements. You can read more about
that here.
Avoid using floats as much as possible. Most layouts done with float can be achieved with inline-block. Floats are simply meant to take an element, put it to one side, and let other content flow around it. That’s all.
box-wrapper and box-container either one is only needed to wrap the contents inside.

Create img and p tag side by side with different sizes

I'm new to web development and I am stuck on this problem. What I am trying to do is show a words on the left(20-30% width/ small square) and img(70-80% large square)on the right then right.Directly below it have a small img box of with a large word box on the right.
For the life of me I can't make both the same height as well.
Sorry I'm describing it the best way I can.
I want it to look like this website reservation and about div.

There's a lot of problems going on with your code, starting with how your have named the tags. You have used the same ID for almost all the tags. Make use of classes not ID when you want to style more than one element with the same CSS styles. And give unique ID to individual elements which you want to style differently.
I've just taken out the relevant part of the code and modified a few things to demonstrate how the grid (Responsive) has been or could be implemented:
Instead of using img tags, use image as a background for the div containing it.
Use vw units to create squares with the same dimensions and that makes it responsive itself.
For the fonts as well, you can make use of vw units like shown below.
Float the elements to the left and right depending on their unique ID.
Note: This is just a workaround to not implement this code from
scratch. But there are plenty of better and cleaner ways to achieve
this. You can make use of CSS grids or flexbox, etc for that matter.

Marking navigation button as active using CSS

I have square navigation buttons where I want to visually show which are active, for example using:
At the moment I use background: linear-gradient for this purpose. This however is hard to animate and I therefore am looking for alternatives. The HTML structures looks like:
<div class='navigation-button'>
<div class='navigation-button-container'>
<i class='fa fa-bars'></i>
</div>
</div>
with corresponding CSS:
.navigation-button {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: purple;
}
.navigation-button-container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.navigation-button-container i {
margin-top: 25%;
margin-bottom: 25%;
color: white;
}
.active {
background: linear-gradient(right, blue 0%, blue 10%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 10%);
}
The active class can be applied to the navigation-button-container to get the desired effect. I want to however fade this in and out and as I understand linear-gradients cannot be animated.
I have looked in adding a element before the navigation-button-container and animate it's width and using the CSS ::before syntax but neither seemed to be of help. Is there an efficient CSS way to get the desired effect using #keyframes or transition?
Is this what you needed? There is a ::before pseudo-element on .nb-container which has a width transition.
.nb {
background-color: #f00;
display: block;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
.nb-container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
.nb-container i {
color: white;
display: inline-block;
margin: 25% 0 25%;
}
.nb-container ::before {
background-color: #00f;
content: "";
display: block;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
transition: width .2s;
width: 0;
}
.nb-container:hover ::before, .nb-container:focus ::before {
width: 20%;
}
Mouse over the elements to see the effect:
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">
<i class="fa fa-bars">∆</i>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">
<i class="fa fa-bars">®</i>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">
<i class="fa fa-bars">©</i>
</div>
</div>
The ::before element is very versatile in the way it can be animated. So if you wanted a fade-in instead of a slide-in:
.nb {
background-color: #f00;
display: block;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
.nb-container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
.nb-container i {
color: white;
display: inline-block;
margin: 25% 0 25%;
}
.nb-container ::before {
background-color: #00f;
content: "";
display: block;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
transition: opacity .2s;
width: 20%;
}
.nb-container:hover ::before, .nb-container:focus ::before {
opacity: 1;
}
Mouse over the elements to see the effect:
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">
<i class="fa fa-bars">∆</i>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">
<i class="fa fa-bars">®</i>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nb">
<div class="nb-container">

Is there a semantically better way to create this layout of text in circles?

I've come up with what seems like a very hacky, non-semantic way to code a design that I'd like to use. Basically, it's a set of 4 equal-sized circles, distributed so their centers are the same as those of equilateral triangles. I've used a bunch of presentational divs to solve two issues: (1) to get the spacing of the circles right, I need their bounding boxes to overlap; and (2) to vertically space text in the circles without changing their size, it seems like I need to use display:table in my CSS.
It works, but I hate it, and I feel like there has to be a better way. I am new to CSS, and this method is the result of a fair amount of research about how to solve this design problem.
The design is at this codepen: http://codepen.io/bhagerty/pen/rejEPZ
(I put borders on a bunch of the elements just to show the structure.)
Here is the HTML:
<body>

I much appreciate any thoughts or help. Thanks!
Well, IMO what you've done is really good. I wouldn't be too concerned about the extra divs.
But, it can be done with fewer divs, making use of float and margins.
Codepen is here
html {
font-size: 16px;
}
h1#home_title {
text-align: center;
font-size: 3rem;
margin: 0;
padding: .1rem 0 .5rem 0;;
background-color: grey;
}
div#container_1 {
border: green solid 5px;
width: 320px;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div.box {
border: red solid 1px;
position: relative;
float:left;
width: 53.6%;
text-align: center;
background-color: transparent;
box-sizing:border-box;
margin-bottom:-27%;
}
div.box:nth-child(2n) {
float:right;
}
div.box:nth-child(2n+1) {
float:left;
}
/*pseudo-element to give relative height,
per http://jsfiddle.net/simevidas/PFPDU/
and http://www.mademyday.de/css-height-equals-width-with-pure-css.html */
div.box::before {
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 100%;
height: 0;
}
/* if inner text has position relative, it influences the size of the containing box */
/*setting all of the positions to zero forces it inside the circle for some reason */
.featuring {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
border: black solid 2px;
border-radius: 50%;
/* to create breathing room all around, set top and left to 1/2 of 100% - width (where width = height) */
top: 5%;
left: 5%;
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
font-size: 2em;
}
.featuring:before {
content:'';
margin-left:-0.25em;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
height:100%;
}
/*Percent positions all based on W, derived from fact
that bounding boxes circumscribe tangent circles, and
circle centers are connected by equilateral triangles */
div#footer_1 {
border: red solid 2px;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
margin-top: 137%;
text-align: center;
