I have a Wordpress Template with a specific div being nested somewhere in the overall structure.
It has those stylings:
#fdm-ordering-sidescreen-tab {
position: fixed;
top: 25vh;
right: 0;
width: 64px;
height: 64px;
background: #fff;
color: #444;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
z-index: 101;
padding: 14px 12px 10px 12px;
cursor: pointer;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
I always thought that position: fixed; right: 0 should be absolute to the overall viewport, i.e. on the right side of the browser directly besides the scrollbar. But it isn't. It seems to be relative to its parent, i.e. right: 0 relative to some other centered div.
Can I, without changing HTML structure, move it to the very right side of the viewport, and if possible, also make it scroll with the scrolled viewport?
Thanks
This is caused by the fact that the containing div : <div class="fusion-text fusion-text-2" .... has transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
Your fixed div now becomes connected to the transformed element. It kind of treats the transformed element as the viewport.
Will wordpress let you move it out of the containing div?

I'm fighting with css code to obtain something that should be pretty easy:
adding a triangle at the bottom of multiple div on the same page.
Here it's the code I'm working with:
.areatitolo {
background-color: #bb0000;
color: #fff;
font-size: 18pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
padding:5%;
margin-top:100px;
width:100%;
margin-bottom:60px;
}
.areatitolo:after{
content:'';
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: solid 50px #bb0000;
border-left: solid 100px transparent;
border-right: solid 100px transparent;
}
There shouldn't be any problem, apart from the fact that only the first one works and I need to use the same effect 3 times...
Do you know where I made the mistake?

Thank you for your help.
Add position: relative; to .areatitolo.
you should use position :relative to the class .areatitolo .Because you have used absolute for ::after. whenever you use position absolute to a child element ,you should use position relative to parent if not the absolute child will take body as relative parent by default ,thats why the first triangle appears at the top all the other triangles get overlaped on top
For a child element to be absolutely positioned, the parent must have a position: relative; property applied to it. This gives the child a reference point for it's positioning.
Additionally, consider using ::after instead of :after for a more modern CSS3 syntax. See MDN for more information.
I was having problems with positioning my language option at the top of my blog. It was always on a different position on a Windows and a Mac. So I thought about making an inner and outer div. But I'm having troubles with the position of my inner div.
This is the result I want:
This is what I have now
This is the code I have in my CSS on wordpress:
EDITED
.outer {
margin: auto;
overflow: visible;
background: white;
margin-left: 925px;
margin-top: -8px;
margin-bottom:-30px;
font-size: 11pt;
color: #E1BDC3;
border: 1px dotted #999999;
border-radius:8px;
width: 255px;
height: 48px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-left: 10px;
z-index: 1000;
}
.inner {
position: relative;
left: 160px;
top: -336px;
background: transparent;
width: 150px;
z-index: 10001;
}
The block with the border just has <div class="outer"...
And the inner div, the dropdown, is a widget that I'm trying to position at the top of the page, I gave the widget "inner" class.
QUESTION --> If I put marging-right: 4px, it starts counting from the right of the screen, how do I position (for example 4px) from the right of the Outer div?
So that it starts counting from the dotted border on the right (or the left, doesn't matter)
(I'm a beginner in HTML so if you know how to help me, could you please tell me what code I need, and where?
You should use % to refer to positions on the screen. But your problem can be fix using position: relative to refer to the poition inside the parent object, and moving it with top and left
.outer {
margin: auto;
overflow: visible;
background: white;
margin-left: 925px;
margin-top: -8px;
margin-bottom:-30px;
font-size: 11pt;
color: #E1BDC3;
border: 1px dotted #999999;
border-radius:8px;
width: 255px;
height: 48px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-left: 10px;
z-index: 1000;
}
.inner {
position: relative;
left: 159px;
top: -17px;
background: transparent;
width: 100px;
}
<div class="outer">
OUTER
<div class="inner"><select><option>INNER</option></select></div>
</div>
To answer your question "how do I position (for example 4px) from the right of the Outer div?" you would do that by first determining how the elements relate to each other. This is determined by the position and display CSS properties. Depending on which position and display values your two elements have, the answer will vary.
The HTML markup you provide for your "outer" element shows that it is a div. Your CSS does not define a position for this element, so the browser default is static, i.e. position:static.
Your "inner" element is a mystery to us. If it is another div then it is another static position which we can help with. If it is a ul then it is an inline element, which will require a different answer.
Your markup is important here.
EDIT
First thing, your 'outer' div is not actually containing your inner div. This is the outer div markup:
<div class="hide_on_mobile outer">Choose language</div>
You'll see it doesn't contain the element in question that we want to position. Therefore, like my first sentence states, we need to understand how our element in question relates to those around it.
In your situation, you are not in a good spot because the element you want to position is contained by elements that don't relate to your target element. Therefore the only way to position them in the same spot on all screen sizes is to position them absolutely and use percentages.
Or the easy way, if you want to stick to one screen width:
.inner {
position: relative; //override by .widget_polylang element
left: 27px;
top: -17px; //override by .widget_polylang element
background: transparent;
width: 100px; //override by .widget_polylang element
}
You'll see some of your key/value parameters are being outclassed by the .widget_polylang element. The only way to change those is to edit the styles of .widget_polylang or add increased CSS specificity to .inner.
After my website was completed, everyday I am trying to modify things that would make it more responsive. It's made in Muse so don't expect much of "responsiveness".
I have an element with this class:
#labelstrong
{
z-index: 17;
width: 633px;
background-color: transparent;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: justify;
position: fixed;
top: 1542px;
left: 164px;
}
Normally, the element is in the middle of the screen. But when I zoom out, the element maintains the same distance to the top of the screen (because of the top attribute of course). How can I define its position in a way that even if I zoom in or out it will still be in the middle of the screen.
UPDATE:
The problem is (and I forgot to mention it) that the position must be fixed as there is an horizontal scrolling feature for all elements ( they come from the right of the screen) and so they have to be on a fixed position.
UPDATE 2: Here is a live example. Imagine that the class is applied on each TAG (not the menu of course).
http://2323029s8s8s8.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
You can add for those big tags the following css:
.fixed-big-tag{
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
Also as a counter measure, make sure the <body> and the <html> have 100% heights
Another idea would be to use the !important rule for the top property to overwrite what Muse outputs.(or any rule that needs to be overwritten)
If it works, you could probably add a new class on all these tags that need to be centered and overwrite it via css
Check it out, and let me know how it goes.
See this resource for techniques to centering elements using CSS: Centering in CSS: A Complete Guide
If you create a relatively-positioned parent container element, you can center your child element easily:
.parent {
position: relative;
}
#labelstrong {
z-index: 17;
background-color: transparent;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: justify;
position: absolute;
width: 634px;
height: 40px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -20px 0 0 -317px;
}
Note that the margin offsets are half of the width and height.
Try using percentages instead of pixels, like:
top: 10%;
If you want to horizontally center, try setting the margin to auto:
margin: 0 auto;
Your code would look like this:
#labelstrong {
z-index: 17;
width: 633px;
background-color: transparent;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: justify;
position: relative;
top: 10%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Take a look at this example: http://jsfiddle.net/5a6fyb21/
jQuery would be your best bet.
I would just set your class to a fixed position then try using the following.
$(window).resize(function() {
var middle = $(window).height();
$('.middle').css('top', hello / 2);
});
The resize function is used so that it will remain in position if the window is resized.
Centered label over horisontally scrollable content:
http://jsfiddle.net/cqztf9kc/
.fixed {
margin: 50%;
position: fixed;
z-index: 1;
}
.content {
x-overflow: scroll;
height: 100%;
}
Basicly I would like these 4 buttons to seperate with a width of 5px between them? When I had my position as relative it worked fine but when I put it to absolute they each pile on top of each other? Why is this and does anyone know a fix? Thanks.
Code:
#content
{
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
left: 505px;
width: 860;
height: 560px;
}
#content ul li
{
text-decoration: none;
position: absolute;
margin-right: 2px;
font-family: "Arial Black";
padding: 10px;
width: 180px;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;
text-align: center;
background-color: #000;
opacity: 0.5;
display: block;
}
Example (Buttons in the top left.):
From the MDN page on positioning:
Elements that are positioned relatively are still considered to be in the normal flow of elements in the document. In contrast, an element that is positioned absolutely is taken out of the flow and thus takes up no space when placing other elements. The absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to nearest positioned ancestor. If a positioned ancestor doesn't exist, the initial container is used.
They are piling up on top of each other because no space is reserved for them in the flow of the page.
I'm just getting into HTML and CSS and I have a quick question. Is there any way to make a parent element grow in size to accommodate one of its children? I have the background set on <html>. Then inside the body I have a div which sets a different background color and isn't as wide/tall as the whole page. This leaves a two toned design. Then, I have a nested div containing all the content to be displayed. This all works fine, unless the page content is enough that a scroll bar is necessary. If that happens, both background colors are lost past the original bottom of the screen. This problem is extremely annoying and from what I've read there is no great way to handle it, but I wanted to see if anyone knew. I have the following properties set:
html {
background: [gradient code...]
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}
body {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
div.background {
background-color: #D0D0D0;
text-align: center;
height: auto;
width: 70%;
position: absolute;
top: 150px;
bottom: 30px;
left: 15%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border-radius: 7px;
}
div.container {
height: auto;
width: 70%;
position: absolute;
left: 15%;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
}
Where div.background has the second background color and div.container has the content displayed on the page.
Thanks for your help.
How about not using position: absolute? Remove that (and the associated top, left, bottom...) and replace them with correct margins instead.
I believe if you specify size (width, height) auto on the parent (or just leave it without specifying size) it grows/shrinks to fit the children's size (it doesn't work recursively, so you may want to go up to the last parent in the tree). Avoiding absolute positioning (http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_positioning.asp) could also do the trick, and float element or a different z-index could probably do the workaround too, but overgrowing the parent, I think...
If you get rid of the width and position absolute div.background and change position absolute to relative for div.container you should be good
