CSS fade out left and right edges of div and content - html

I have a very simple HTML layout show here...
body{
background:teal;
}
#mycontent{
background:wheat;
text-align:center;
padding:20px;
margin:20px;
}
<div id="mycontent">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut sed turpis arcu. Mauris ultricies eget nisl quis auctor. Mauris magna lorem, sodales at posuere interdum, sodales quis purus. Nam non augue quis urna accumsan mattis nec eget mi. Pellentesque at tempus elit. Sed eu enim nunc. Suspendisse rhoncus id nibh id maximus. Cras volutpat efficitur sem, at volutpat nisl porttitor quis. Fusce pellentesque lacus odio, vitae scelerisque metus placerat et. Duis a felis dui. Aenean ante neque, condimentum a massa sed, eleifend porttitor elit.
</div>
I am tyring to fade out the left and right edges of the div and its content. I have seen various options but am not sure which one is best to go for.
CSS mask-image is listed as experimental so not sure that is the best approach here.
What is my best option to achieve this?

Since you have a known background colour, you can overlay a "known BG -> transparent" gradient over the top. For finer control, you can apply it twice: once on the left and once on the right.
body{
background:teal;
}
#mycontent{
background:wheat;
text-align:center;
padding:20px;
margin:20px;
position: relative;
}
#mycontent:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 0; right: 0;
top: 0; bottom: 0;
background-image:
linear-gradient(to right, #008080, rgba(0,128,128,0) 50px),
linear-gradient(to left , #008080, rgba(0,128,128,0) 50px);
}
<div id="mycontent">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut sed turpis arcu. Mauris ultricies eget nisl quis auctor. Mauris magna lorem, sodales at posuere interdum, sodales quis purus. Nam non augue quis urna accumsan mattis nec eget mi. Pellentesque at tempus elit. Sed eu enim nunc. Suspendisse rhoncus id nibh id maximus. Cras volutpat efficitur sem, at volutpat nisl porttitor quis. Fusce pellentesque lacus odio, vitae scelerisque metus placerat et. Duis a felis dui. Aenean ante neque, condimentum a massa sed, eleifend porttitor elit.
</div>
For more dynamic backgrounds, you will probably need to use actual masking, and just ensure it falls back gracefully in browsers that don't support it.

:after pseudo element is not referencing the width/height of its parent properly unless its parent's positioning is set to relative [duplicate]

I have two divs inside another div, and I want to position one child div to the top right of the parent div, and the other child div to the bottom of the parent div using css. Ie, I want to use absolute positioning with the two child divs, but position them relative to the parent div rather than the page. How can I do this?
Sample html:
<div id="father">
<div id="son1"></div>
<div id="son2"></div>
</div>
#father {
position: relative;
}
#son1 {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
#son2 {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
This works because position: absolute means something like "use top, right, bottom, left to position yourself in relation to the nearest ancestor who has position: absolute or position: relative."
So we make #father have position: relative, and the children have position: absolute, then use top and bottom to position the children.
div#father {
position: relative;
}
div#son1 {
position: absolute;
/* put your coords here */
}
div#son2 {
position: absolute;
/* put your coords here */
}
Incase someone wants to postion a child div directly under a parent
#father {
position: relative;
}
#son1 {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
}
Working demo Codepen
If you don't give any position to parent then by default it takes static. If you want to understand that difference refer to this example
Example 1::
http://jsfiddle.net/Cr9KB/1/
#mainall
{
background-color:red;
height:150px;
overflow:scroll
}
Here parent class has no position so element is placed according to body.
Example 2::
http://jsfiddle.net/Cr9KB/2/
#mainall
{
position:relative;
background-color:red;
height:150px;
overflow:scroll
}
In this example parent has relative position hence element are positioned absolute inside relative parent.
In a use case of needing a sticky floating "back button"/ "back to top" button. But you have the main content area that can shrink in favor of the side content area
You can use position: fixed; inside a container of position: absolute; to get a more flexible behavior similar to sticky but more powerful
function toggleOpen() {
const element = document.getElementById("sideContnet");
if (element.style.display === "none") {
element.style.display = "block";
} else {
element.style.display = "none";
}
}
.container {
display: flex;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 600px;
}
.contentBig {
width: 600px;
min-width: 66%;
position: relative;
}
.contentSmall {
width: 230px;
min-width: 33%;
}
.absolute {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 60px;
}
.fiexBack {
position: fixed;
background-color: red;
bottom: 20px;
padding: 5px;
}
.button {
width: 200px;
padding: 12px;

How to create a top margin after an auto page break with css?

Here is the description of the feature I really struggle to do.
Mockup
Description
A generated pdf document contains many sections
Some sections can print on many pages
We don't know the size of the content (variable height)
The page must not have margins (the headers are positioned (0,0) and have the same width as the page, documents are printed bordeless)
The content can be anything : paragraphs, titles, images, graphs, svg elements, tables, ...
Objective
When the content of a section auto break on the next page, that page should have a margin equal to the header
Exemple: the section #2 is printed on the pages 2 & 3 ; the page 3 should have a top margin.
Problem
Because the page margins are set to "0", we should define a padding/margin after a natural page break but, I can't find how to make it work nicely (1)
Technical
I'm using RelaxedJS (pdf is generated with Chromium)
Thank you so much in advance if you know how to handle that specific case. I've read so many documentation. The best candidate could be CSS Fragmentation Box Decoration Break Clone but I can't make it work with blocks, only inline elements and paragraphs.
(1) I have tried a solution using table and a thead setting the margin on top of the page... but it's not working when you fill the cells with content. I guess the has serious limitations when using #page rules.
I had to face the same issue a few days ago.
The idea was simple, you have to do this:
Set #page margins (considering the height of the header and footer)
Set header and footer position: fixed and adjust the top and bottom properties.
Control the .page-content with page-break-after to make sure the content go to the next pages.
Notice that I used the DOMPDF Laravel to generate the PDF. May be there are some differences using RelaxedJS but anyway you can try this just in case.
I hope this can help you. Here is the same code in Codepen
#page {
margin: 160px 0px;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h2 {
text-align: left;
margin-left: 50px;
}
header {
background-color: yellow;
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
color: black;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position: fixed;
top: -120px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
.page-content {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 60px;
}
.page-content p {
page-break-after: always;
padding: 5px 30px;
}
.page-content p:last-child {
page-break-after: never;
}
footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 50px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-color: lightblue;

margin-left: 100px;
border-left: solid black 1px;
}

float:right with correct semantics

I have the following html/css:
#wrapper {
width: 400px;
background-color: red;
}
#text {
margin-right: 50px;
}
#subcontent {
float: right;
width: 50px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="subcontent">
<img src="http://lorempicsum.com/futurama/50/50/1" width="50">
</div>
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis leo sapien. Nunc convallis elit purus, non fringilla quam lobortis at. Integer pharetra auctor luctus. In congue dolor a pretium facilisis. Donec et risus lacinia augue pellentesque mollis
eget a urna. Sed dapibus est enim, id iaculis arcu ultrices sit amet. Donec quis dolor risus. Suspendisse a nunc a enim mattis finibus eget vitae diam. Phasellus dictum commodo metus, ut rutrum dolor pretium a. Aliquam at sem vel tortor mollis tristique.

cursus vitae. Vivamus nec faucibus elit.</div>
</div>
This is achieving the desired effect of making the text stay left and the sub content stay right, without having to specify a width for the text (for responsive behaviour). However, semantically this is incorrect as I have had to place <div id="subcontent"/> before <div id="text"/> in the html, even though the text should appear before the sub content (assuming reading rtl). I can live with this to get the job done but unfortunately when the screen size is very small I need to make <div id="text"/> full width and let the sub content flow naturally afterwards. This currently means the sub content is at the top and I need it to be at the bottom.
How can I change the css so that when the html is ordered
<div id="text"/>
<div id="subcontent"/>
the sub content will float right without being pushed down by the text?
I need to support IE9+
Float is a pain.
Try to use flex and media queries for a responsive design :
Note: since you mention rtl reading, I strongly advise you to have a look on the flex-direction property (MDN)
#wrapper {
display: flex;
width: 400px;
background-color: red;
/* this is the default behavior - you can skip it */
flex-direction: row;
}
#text {
}
#subcontent {
width: 50px;
}
#media (max-width: 400px) {
#wrapper {
flex-direction: column;
}
}
<div id="wrapper">

Cool. If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to change the order of the HTML, yet have the output still look the same?
If this is the case, you need to give #text AND #subcontent a float:left; add a clearing div and use a calc width on your text to make sure that the image will always fit in whilst the text can be responsively sized.
Here's a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/hk9ntyd2/1/
And here's the code:
#wrapper {
width: 400px;
background-color: red;
}
#text {
width: calc(100% - 50px);
float: left;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
#subcontent {
float: left;
width: 50px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis leo sapien. Nunc convallis elit purus, non fringilla quam lobortis at. Integer pharetra auctor luctus. In congue dolor a pretium facilisis. Donec et risus lacinia augue pellentesque mollis
eget a urna. Sed dapibus est enim, id iaculis arcu ultrices sit amet. Donec quis dolor risus. Suspendisse a nunc a enim mattis finibus eget vitae diam. Phasellus dictum commodo metus, ut rutrum dolor pretium a. Aliquam at sem vel tortor mollis tristique.
Proin neque dolor, pellentesque ut euismod id, finibus sed lacus. Mauris varius tempor diam, at varius risus. Etiam dictum metus et augue bibendum commodo. Vestibulum imperdiet elit vitae bibendum finibus. Maecenas mollis dui ex, id suscipit mauris
cursus vitae. Vivamus nec faucibus elit.</div>
<div id="subcontent">
<img src="http://moviesalbum.com/wp-content/themes/sunny/timthumb.php?src=http://moviesalbum.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Koala-300x225.jpg&h=120&w=120&zc=1&q=90" width="50">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
The margin-left:50px; solution should have worked fine, I personally find that the calc solution is a little neater, but feel free to use margin instead :)

How to avoid position: fixed from staying on the screen when vertical scrolling?

I asked this question which worked great for making text (top links) forced to the right after scrolling.
The issue is one on the page, when I scroll vertically, the top links stay on the top of the page even when I scroll down so they show above my main content.
What is a way to force text to be forced to the right but don't move when I scroll vertically?
Here is my CSS today:
#toplinks ul
{
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;
border:medium none;
color:#2F6FAB;
cursor:default;
line-height:1.4em;
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0 1em 0 1em;
text-align:right;
z-index:0;
font-size: 85%;
position:fixed;
right:0;
}
I think you want something like this. Correct me if I am wrong. I edited ptriek's code and fixed it so that the sticky thing doesn't move if the page is vertically scrolled but moves with the page keeping its position fixed if the page is horizontally scrolled.
The CSS code is the same:
#sticky
{
background:red;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
width: 206px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0.6875em;
}
p {
width:1000px;
}
But the JavaScript code is slightly modified:
$(window).scroll(function(event) {
$("#sticky").css("margin-top", 0-$(document).scrollTop());
});
Alternately, this can be done without JavaScript as Aaron has suggested. You can see the effect here.
I hope it works.
You can use z-index to make your relatively-positioned content overlay your fixed content when scrolled, as per this example: http://jsfiddle.net/R4jEj/.
You'll need a combination of CSS + jQuery to achieve this. My answer was inspired by this question, which does the exact oposite.
http://jsfiddle.net/hEvSu/
The JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
var o = $("#sticky").offset();
s = o.left;
});
$(window).scroll(function () {
$("#sticky").offset({ left: s - $(window).scrollLeft() });
});
The CSS:
#sticky {
background:red;
position: fixed;
bottom: 35px;
right: 0px;
width: 206px;
}
p {
width:1000px;
}
May be for that page you can define position:absolute instead of position:fixed.
Like this:
#fixed {
position: absolute;
height: 20px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
right: 0;
top:0;
}
#container {
margin-top: 30px;
padding: 5px;
}

Try this
<div id="header">
<div id="right">
<div class="link">test</div>
</div>
<div id="container">

Let me know if this is not fix your problem.
I think you should use position: absolute instead of fixed. Note that the positioning will be relative to the first element that you have given a position:relative. So you could write:
body { position: relative; }
ul { position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 0px;
/* if you want the content to overlap everything, you should set the z-index */
z-index: 1;
}
The reason that your first try with absolute positioning didn't work out is probably because you didn't set a relative element, in wich case it will be relative to the browser window. So if you scroll, the links will move;)
If you can alter the HTML a bit, you can achieve the desired effect by simply putting the top links in the first root-level div, and everything else in the second root-level div.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#foo{position: absolute; height: 20px; border:2px solid red; background: gray; top:0; right: 0;}
#bar{overflow:auto; width:100%; margin-top:24px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="foo">Links Links Links Links Links Links Links Links Links Links Links Links</div>
<div id="bar"><img alt="The rest of the page goes here" src="https://www.google.com/images/nav_logo99.png" width="2000"></div>
</body>
</html>
Simple answer: *"To not make it move around when scrolling, you need to define the vertical position. FIXED expects both horizontal as well as vertical positioning. So you have the option to go
position:fixed;
right:0;
top:0;
or
position:fixed;
right:0;
bottom:0;
Then, you'll need z-index to make sure that - when things start overlapping - the correct div/layer/whatever is the topmost and therefore the visible one, hiding the lower z-index underneath it.
An alternative layout option...
... would be to give the parent container/element a
position:relative;
and then position the child elements as you like using
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
or whatever position you want to give them.
