Responsive div class - html

I'm trying to make my website responsive and I have already set the divs' min-height and set the display: inline-block. I already did it to one of the div but then when I tried to make it on the others, it just maintained its min-height. I can see the words adjust when I tried it out but the size/height of the div stayed the same. I think it's because the positions of the divs are in absolute but I also tried to set it to relative, but then the design messed up.
.fullbanner2 {
width: 95.2%;
min-height: 90vh;
}
.banner2left, .banner2right {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
min-height: 90vh;
overflow: hidden;
}
.banner2left {
width: 52%;
height: 90vh;
background: #FFFFFF;
letter-spacing: 2px;
}
.banner2left h1 {
font-size: 75px;
margin-top: 7.5%;
margin-left: 4%;
margin-right: 1.5%;
color: #333333;
font-family: 'Athena', sans-serif;
}
.banner2left p {
font-size: 25px;
margin-top: -2%;
margin-left: 4%;
color: #666695;
}
.banner2right {
background: url(../colors-n-pics/picture2.jpg) no-repeat 50% 50%;
margin-left: 52%;
background-size: cover;
width: 43.2%;
height: 90vh;
}
<div class="fullbanner2">
<div class="banner2left">
<h1>Lorem ipsum</h1>
<p>Curabitur congue non diam id venenatis. Ut eget dolor dictum, iaculis lacus quis, commodo justo.</p>
</div>
<div class="banner2right">

Why is CSS Width percentage not being respected? [duplicate]

Why is a flex item limited to parent size?

Display a div width 100% with margins
(6 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
I am trying to make a design where there are two columns in a box. One column contains an image and takes up 1/4 of the width under normal circumstances, and 1/2 of the width when hovered over. The other column contains a decent amount of text and takes up whatever space is left.
I am running into an issue where the CSS that tells the first column's width to be either 50% or 25% is not being respected. The first column is less than 1/8 of the width when it is supposed to be 1/4 and less than 1/4 when it is supposed to be 1/2. I have managed to create a minimal example:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
}
.container {
height: 50%;
width: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
border-radius: 0.25rem;
margin: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
}
.left {
margin: auto;
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
transition-property: width;
transition-duration: 300ms;

}
.left:hover {

margin: auto;

I have looked up previous questions like this and they all seem to state that somehow the parent div's dimensions are not defined. However, in this case they are defined! html and body have defined dimensions, and so does the container div.
Why isn't the width doing what I think it should do in this case?
Flex items (i.e. the children of a flex container) are allowed to grow and shrink by default. To avoid that, you can add flex-shrink: 0; and flex-grow: 0; to their CSS:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
}
.container {
height: 50%;
width: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
border-radius: 0.25rem;
margin: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
}
.left {
margin: auto;
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
transition-property: width;
transition-duration: 300ms;
padding: 1rem;
flex-shrink: 0;
flex-grow: 0;
}
.left:hover {
width: 50%;
flex-shrink: 0;
flex-grow: 0;
}
.right {
width: auto;
margin: auto;
font-size: 1.5rem;
line-height: 2rem;
padding: 1rem 4rem;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="left">
Placeholder
</div>
<p class="right">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus ligula purus, lobortis luctus malesuada vitae, egestas quis lorem. Mauris ultrices mauris et enim dictum fermentum. Nam nibh nulla, posuere ut egestas a, fringilla ac augue. Vivamus sed
eros eget purus maximus iaculis. </p>

}

HTML Body is overflown

I'm trying to create a website where the first part is a video, on top of it is a navigation bar and description sentence. The second part is a div with a picture and a lorem ipsum paragraph. But the two-part is mushed together. Do you know why?
The first part is the video-container div. It contains a video, a navigation bar and some introductory words
The second part is the intro div which has an image and a paragraph side by side

You can make use of css flex property, in your case please add
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
under your style tags and assign this class to intro class div as <div class='intro flex-container'>, will this worked for you?
you can easily wrap the .video-container and .intro divs with a div tag and give it style display flex and make sure you add flex wrap also.
Then just give your video and intro containers width 100%

css: zooming-out inside the browser moves rightmost floated div below other divs

I am seeing something strange in both firefox and chrome when I increase
the zoom level inside these browsers, although I see nothing wrong with
my CSS.
Here is the whole story:
I have a right-floated top-level div containing three right-floated right.
The three inner divs have all box-model measurements in pixels which add
up to the width of the enclosing container. Everything looks fine when
the browser size is 100%, but when I start making the browser smaller
with CTRL+scrollwheel or CTRL+minus the rightmost margin shrinks
down too fast and eventually becomes zero, forcing my rightmost
floated inner div to fall down below the other two!
I can't make sense out of this, almost seems like some integer division
is being performed incorrectly in the browser code, but alas firefox and
chrome both display the same result.
Here is the example (just zoom out with CTRL-minus to see what I mean):

Just to narrow things down a bit, the tags of interest are the following:
div#mainContent
div#contentLeft
div#contentCenter
div#contentRight

EDIT 1:
I've checked all measurements again and carefully plugged in numbers until they
satisfied the following equation for the three uniform columns in the main area
with uniform collapsed margin areas on all sides:
TEXT_AREA * 3 + MARGIN * 4 + BORDER * 6 = 960px (the width of the
wrapper)
TEXT_AREA = WIDTH + 2 * PADDING
BORDER = 1
subject to the margin and padding set to reasonable values of course,
and here are some numbers which seemed OK which solve these constraints:
TEXT_AREA = 290px
MARGIN = 15px
BORDER = 1px
PADDING = 15px
WIDTH = 268px
which translates to the following:
div#mainContent { float: left; width: 960px; padding: 15px 0; text-align: justify; }
div#contentLeft { height: 900px; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 15px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; }
div#contentCenter { height: 900px; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 15px; border: 1px solid transparent; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #E00; }
div#contentRight { height: 900px; float: left; margin: 0 15px 0 15px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; }
However even now that everything is uniform, I still get the problem that when I zoom
out the rightmost column falls down below the others. One solution is to do the following:
div#contentRight { height: 900px; float: left; margin: 0 0 /* 15px */ 0 15px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; }
so that now the right column has no right margin, but the visual result is the same.
Now, when I zoom out, the rightmost column does not fall down, but its right margin
is so small compared to the others, so really, there is still a small problem.
Edit 2:
OK, I've done some more searching and found an even better solution. The solution
consists in having the margins in between the div column elements the same and having
the left and right margin adjust automatically. In order to achieve this, I had to
do away with floats, and use "display: inline-block" which IMHO is much more suitable
than floats and was designed for the purpose at hand:
div#mainContent { padding: 15px 0; width: 960px; text-align: center; }
div#contentLeft { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0 0 0/*15px*/; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; }
div#contentCenter { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0 0 15px; border: 1px solid transparent; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #E00; }
div#contentRight { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0/* 15px */ 0 15px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; }
div#mainContent section { text-align: justify; }
Now, at a normal zoom level all left margins will be 15px plus the last element's right
margin which will also be 15px. On the other hand, if I zoom out, there is some pixel
rounding going on, but the rounding is applied more or less equally on both sides,
which is somewhat better. This works in Firefox.
Edit 3:
Alas, I've tried reducing the in-between margins a bit, which makes the problem
go away with Chrome, but one of the div elements still drops down in IE10.
div#mainContent { padding: 15px 0; text-align: center; }
div#contentLeft { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0 0 0/* 20px increased from 15px */; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; overflow: hidden; }
div#contentCenter { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0 0 10px/* reduced from 15px */; border: 1px solid transparent; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #E00; overflow: hidden; }
div#contentRight { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; height: 900px; margin: 0 0/* 20px increased from 15px */ 0 10px/* reduced from 15px */; border: 1px solid black; padding: 15px; width: 268px; background: #ccc; overflow: hidden; }
div#mainContent section { text-align: justify; }
Edit 4:
I've come up with a solution which works in Firefox, Chrome, and IE10.
Basically, I've created three div wrappers around the three columns
and taken measurements again ensuring all measurements are symmetric.
Here is the source code:

This is probably caused by sub-pixel rounding.
As you zoom, your browser may calculate pixel values with fractions of pixels. As a result of rounding these values up or down, pixel-perfect layouts can break. (Different browsers handle this in different ways.)
I had decent luck converting your pixel values to percentage values.
Here are the values that worked for me:
div#contentLeft,
div#contentCenter,
div#contentRight {
margin-left: 1.1%;
padding: 1.56%;
width: 28.3%;
}
Edit:
Here's another method, which essentially centers the three boxes in div#mainContent rather than spacing them so tightly with margins. It allows them a little more room to flex when zoomed.
I removed the margin-left from div#contentLeft and added the following CSS to center the three boxes:
div#wrapper {
overflow:hidden; /* ADDED THIS TO AVOID HORIZONTAL SCROLL */
}
div#mainContent {
position: relative; /* ADDED THIS */
left: 50%; /* ADDED THIS */
float: left;
padding: 30px 0px;
text-align: justify;
}
div#contentLeft {
position: relative; /* ADDED THIS */
left: -50%; /* ADDED THIS */
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #CCCCCC;
border: 1px solid black;
float: left;
height: 900px;
padding: 15px;
width: 272px;
/* margin-left:12px; REMOVED THIS */
}
div#contentCenter {
position: relative; /* ADDED THIS */
left: -50%; /* ADDED THIS */
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #EE0000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
float: left;
height: 900px;
margin-left: 12px;
padding: 15px;
width: 272px;
}
div#contentRight {
position: relative; /* ADDED THIS */
left: -50%; /* ADDED THIS */
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #CCCCCC;
border: 1px solid black;
float: left;
height: 900px;
margin-left: 12px;
padding: 15px;
width: 272px;
}
The boxes remain floated on one row even when Firefox is zoomed all the way out.

How come my red border is not wrapping around my text div and my side bar div

How come my red border is not wrapping around my text div and my side bar div. Here's my code:
CSS:
body{
background-color: #d7d7d7;
color: #666666;
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size: x-small;
}
div#header {
background-color: #323232;
height: 140px;
width: 950px;
}
div#maincontainer {
background-color: #d7d7d7;
width: 950px;
height: auto;
margin-top: 5px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div#maintextcontainer{
//background-color: #333333;
width: 640px;
//margin-right: 10px;
margin: 1px;
float: left;
color: black;
}
div#maintextcontainer h2{
color: #4f4f4f;
}
div#sidebarcontainer {
//background-color: #333333;
width: 300px;
float: left;
color: black;
margin: 1px;
}
div#footer{
background-color: #323232;
width: 950px;
margin-top: 5px;
clear: left;
}
div#global{
width: 950px;
margin: auto;
}
HTML:
<div id="global">
<div id="header"> This is the header div</div>
<div id="maincontainer">
<div id="maintextcontainer">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi aliquam neque eu turpis euismod eget suscipit nulla ultrices. Donec sagittis mi non sem vestibulum elementum dapibus risus auctor. Praesent tristique laoreet dapibus. Integer vel ligula lorem, et pharetra lorem.
</div>
<div id="sidebarcontainer">Nam at lectus vitae est tempor lacinia sed et ante. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Praesent interdum mi id nisi aliquet pulvinar.
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">This is Footer Text</div>
</div>
You need to add overflow:auto; to div#maincontainer. Floated elements will flow outside of their containing element, unless this attribute is set.
Also, a double slash (//) is not a valid commenting symbol in CSS.
