Position Relative vs Absolute?
(10 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I was playing around with position absolute relative and sticky
and I can't seem to understand why the parent div "back" (blue) isn't completely wrapping around "content" (yellow) div? instead it's only wrapping around "wallpaper"
also is there any solution to fix this?
#header {
width: 100%;

#back {

background-color: blue;
position:relative;

#content {

margin: auto;
position: absolute;
z-index:1;

#wallpaper {

<div id="wallpaper"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EDIT
I realize that the absolute div is being taken out of flow,
I should have been more clear and ask whether there is any way to keep the div in the doc flow while having the effect of position:absolute or is there an altogether different way of placing the "wallpaper" as a sticky below the header (without knowing the height of header)?

How do I stop two elements from overlapping vertically? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
fixed position header overlapping
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
Ok so first things first. I have a navigation bar at the top of my page, and I've set it's position property to fixed so that it stays on screen all the time.
The problem is that as soon as i did that the div below it shifted upwards going underneeth the nav element.
I have searched about this topic and found only solutions that involved setting the position property of the above div as relative. But doing so the navigation bar doesn't stay there, it moves with the rest of the page when scrolling down.
This is the code:
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.nav-bar {
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
width: 90%;
height: 30px;
background: #006666;
z-index: 1;
color: #fff;
}
.content {
position: relative;
background: #aaa;
color: #fff;
}
<body>
<nav class="nav-bar">Navigation bar</nav>

I've tried different combinations of positions of both elements but none of them worked as i wanted.
Here is the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/e1nbxj8v/
Add padding-top:30px of .content
.content {
position: relative;
background: #aaa;
color: #fff;
padding-top:30px;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/lalji1051/yafeu1x7/
Have you consider adding margin-top: 30px; to content and nav making top: 0; ?
https://jsfiddle.net/dv7pyh92/1/
I recommend you rather use a very simple CSS grid:
grid-template-rows: 30px calc(100vh - 30px);
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.nav-bar {
width: 90%;
height: 100%;
background: #006666;
color: #fff;
}
.content {
background: #aaa;
color: #fff;
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
body {
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: 30px calc(100vh - 30px);
}
<body>
<nav class="nav-bar">Navigation bar</nav>

Child element loses floating when parent element's position is fixed

I am creating a navigation panel that'll stay fixed when scrolling down. Here's the code.
<header>
<a class="logo" href="/">Logo_name</a>
<nav>
Menu_1
Menu_2
</nav>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</header>
And here's the css
header {
position: fixed;
max-width:960px;
}
.logo {
float: left;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
I want to have the logo on the right side and the navigation menus on the right side.
Right now, the float seem to work, but the nav elements appear right after the logo instead of being floated to the right edge.
If I remove the position:fixed code from header, the floating seems to work fine.
This would be the solution using flexbox instead of float:
header {
width: 100%;
max-width: 960px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.logo {
align-self: flex-start;
}
nav {
align-self: flex-end;
}
<header>
<a class="logo" href="/">Logo_name</a>
<nav>
Menu_1
Menu_2
</nav>
</header>
And you will need to remove the clear: both; from the HTMl. Let me know if it works!
As mentioned by #AngelMdez, Flexbox is a better way to go than Floats, position: fixed should work all the same; just keep in mind that you should specify a width so the element itself uses the space you expect.
After that you can remove all the float and clear properties and it should be fine.
body {
margin: 0;
}
header {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
max-width: 960px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
height: 70px;
background-color: gray;
}
.content {
padding-top: 70px;
}
<header>
<a class="logo" href="/">Logo_name</a>
<nav>
Menu_1
Menu_2
</nav>
</header>

To answer your question: Most HTML elements have default styling provided by the browser called the User Agent. The <header> has a default display value of display: block;. An element with display: block grows to its maximum width relative to its container.
In this case the container of <header> is the <body> which takes its width from the <html> which takes up the whole viewport.
Because you've set the max-width to 960px the element will grow to only 960px. This works fine, as the width is normally taking up the whole viewport. But as soon as you set an absolute position, in this case `fixed, the element is taken out of the normal document flow. Because it's now sticking to a fixed position. Meaning that it has no parent with a width. So it loses its inherited width by its parent ( the body ).
To solve your problem with the code you've already written, just add a width to the element. Because you've already set a max-width: 960px; you can tell the element to grow to 100% with: width: 100%;. It will stop at 960px because that's its maximum-width:
header {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
background: blue;
}
a {
color: white;
}
.logo {
float: left;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
<header>
<a class="logo" href="/">Logo_name</a>
<nav>
Menu_1
Menu_2
</nav>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</header>

Text flow beneath image css

I am new here. I have a slight problem with this area. I have a background image with a picture at the bottom right and in my PSD, I want to make the text look like this: Original
but currently in my code, it looks like this:Current
As you can see, the text actually flows beneath the div without automatically breaking line. Appreciate if there's any solution to this, thanks in advance!
I have two separate images. One is for the background image (Full cyan background) and another one is the ipad image which is positioned absolute and also positioned to the bottom right of the background image.

The main problem with your existing code is the position: absolute you used and that the image element weren't placed correct in the markup.
As the <div class="ipadimg"> div (and its CSS rule) isn't necessary I removed that, moved the img before the last paragraph and added this new rule.

Update based on comment
Here is the text splitted into to 2 groups. The down side is that the user, which can edit the text, need to know it has to be splitted so a part of the text will wrap around the image.
Side notes:
I personally would solve this issue by making a text template and then measured the newly edited text and then injected the floated image into it. (can't make a sample how-to though, as I'm not using WordPress)
If users are allowed to edit the text, it might be appropriate to let them change image as well. Their text might say something that is not accurate with the existing one

The float property in CSS is all you need to create text that 'wraps around' your image. This creates an image that is positioned within the text-flow of your document, but 'floated' to the left, or to the right.
"Floating" is ignored if you used a specific type of element positioning, like position: absolute. When you use absolute positioning, the picture is actually taken out of the document flow, and placed on a 'layer' of its own - and this is why it's showing on top of your text. In order to get your layout to work, you may need to do the following:
remove the absolute positioning from the picture
do not float the text - place the text as normal inline content.
place the picture within the text, and float it to the right.
You can find out more about floating pictures here:

How to have div cover page on all resolutions/browsers?

Hi I am trying to have a cover photo fill the entire page, BUT not have it fixed. I would like it so that once you start scrolling the cover photo scrolls and content shows. I have set the height parameters to 900 ish to fit most screens but I am looking for a way to has it cover all browsers/resolutions. Also the cover photo does not show up properly in EI.

One IE9+ solution that could work for you is to use background-size:cover; which generally has good compatibility. You would need to adapt your styles to use percentages instead, but cover does a good job of keeping the entire container showing an image. Here's your code adapted to use this method
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin:0;
}
#container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
#header {
background: url('//placehold.it/2000x1000') no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
</div>

How to make read more option with html/CSS?

I have in some div long text and I would like to display only 3 lines from the text and when somebody click on the "read more", the whole text should be shown.
How to make this "read more" option in html/css?
One method would be to set the div's height to be three times its line-height, and set overflow: hidden.
You can then change its height to "auto" in the event handler for displaying the rest of the content:
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
document.querySelector('#content').style.height= 'auto';
this.style.display= 'none';
});
body {
font: 14px verdana;
}
#content {
overflow: hidden;
height: 3.6em;
line-height: 1.2em;
width: 200px;
}
<div id="content">

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
</div>
<button>Read more</button>
You could also do this completely in CSS by using an adjacent sibling selector:
body {
font: 14px verdana;
}
#content {
overflow: hidden;
height: 3.6em;
line-height: 1.2em;
width: 200px;
}
#more:checked + div {
height: auto;
}
<label>
<input id="more" type="checkbox">Read more
<div id="content">

</div>
</label>
You can do this by first setting the height of the box to a specific size and keep the overflow hidden. Then use a button and js event to handle this .
<div id = "content">
your test will come here.

<button type="button"
onclick ="document.getElementById('content').style.height='auto'">
Read more
</button>
</div>
Your css file should contain this.
#content {
overflow: hidden;
height: 3em;
line-height: 1em;
}
I was looking for read-more-possibility made only by html and css, too. The best idea for me was that with the adjacent sibling selector.
I changed what you read above in a certain way. First there is normal text. That stops at a senseful point, not counting the lines. Sometimes it can be one line, sometimes 4. After that I can expand it.
In css I wrote the first part, the second in html
body {
font: 20px verdana;
}
.content {
overflow: hidden;
height: 0em;
line-height: 1.2em;
width: 100%;
}
.more:checked + div {
height: auto;
}
<label>
