I have created a jsFiddle that shows the content.
.container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.body {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #F7F4F2;
text-align: center;
}
.form {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 50px 20px;
color: #333;
}
.footer {
margin-top: 26px;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 26px;
}
.content {
padding: 5% 5%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="body">
<div class="content">
<div class="form">
<h1>Content</h1>
</div>
<div class="footer">
This is a link
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
What I am failing to do is to have the container element to fill the available viewport and have the inner white div also stretch to the bottom with the padding respected.
I would also like to move the link to the bottom of the viewport.
Is this possible without JavaScript?
How about something like this using flexbox?
Put display: flex; on .content
Then use flex: 1; on the main child div and then height: 100vh;.
Now you don't need all that width and height 100% styles.
Also used box-sizing: border-box so the padding doesn't mess with the size of the containers.
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container {
margin: 0;
}
.body {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #F7F4F2;
text-align: center;
}
.content {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
padding: 5% 5%;
}
.form {
flex: 1;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 50px 20px;
color: #333;
}
.footer {
margin-top: 26px;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 26px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="body">
<div class="content">
<div class="form">
<h1>Content</h1>
</div>
<div class="footer">
This is a link
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Use this CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
You need height: 100%; on every parent, all the way up to html & body. Without it, the height won't be dynamic aren't going to work.

I would like to have a layout as follows:
Whereby I have a parent container, and centred inside of that is a breadcrumb. However, I also would like a logo inside of the container which floats to the left of the breadcrumb, but respects the boundaries of the breadcrumb.
I have been playing around with flexbox and can only get it to work with absolutely positioning the logo, which means the breadcrumb does not respect the boundaries of the logo.
I have put together a JSFiddle playground here: https://jsfiddle.net/joyqwpc1/25/.
The difficult thing is, the logo can be a variable width, so setting a margin is not viable for this.
body {
margin: 0;
}
#container {
background: red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 50px;
padding: 0 50px;
}
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
#breadcrumb {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
background-color: green;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="breadcrumb"></div>
</div>
I've created 2 separate containers for the logo and breadcrumbs and set them a width. Then, I aligned elements inside these containers.
https://jsfiddle.net/dmitriifrlv/vbhxrj1u/39/
<div id="container">
<div class="logoContainer">
<div id="logo">
</div>
</div>
<div class="breadcrumbContainer">
<div id="breadcrumb">
</div>
</div>
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
#container {
background: red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: flex-start;
height: 50px;
}
.logoContainer{
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
background: yellow;
}
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
.breadcrumbContainer{
width:90%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
#breadcrumb {
width: 200px;
max-width: calc(100% - 2rem);
height: 20px;
background-color: green;
}
For clean solution a little bit of JavaScript is needed:
Make sure to click "Run with JS" button: https://jsbin.com/ziziqidole/edit?html,output
<html>
<head>
<script>
function handleResize() {
var crumb = document.getElementById("breadcrumb");
var logoWidth = document.getElementById("logo").offsetWidth;
var calcWidth = (window.innerWidth - crumb.offsetWidth) / 2 - logoWidth;
if (calcWidth < 10) {
calcWidth = 10;
}
crumb.style.marginLeft = calcWidth;
}
</script>
<style media="all">
body {
margin: 0;
}
#container {
background: red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
height: 50px;
padding-right: 50px;
}
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: 150px;
background-color: blue;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
#breadcrumb {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
background-color: green;
}
#center {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: khaki;
text-align: center;
}
</style></head

<body onresize="handleResize()" onload="handleResize()">
<div id="container">
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="breadcrumb"></div>
</div>
<div id="center">Page Center</div>
</body>
</html>
Solution without JavaScript. But some hardcoding needed e.g. logo width and crumb width.

<head>
<style media="all">
body {
margin: 0;
}
#container {
background: red;

align-items: center;

padding-right: 50px;
}
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: 150px;
background-color: blue;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
#breadcrumb {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
background-color: green;
position: absolute;
left: max(260px, 50%); /* logo width + breadcrumb width/2 + margin*/
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
/*margin: 0 auto;
margin-left: 10px;/*use this if want to center on remaining area instead of screen center*/
}
#center {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: khaki;
text-align: center;
}
</style></head

<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="breadcrumb"></div>
</div>
<div id="center">Page Center</div>
</body>
</html>
This is usually how I lay something like this out: 3 containers, the side 2 will flex to fill space equally because they have the same exact basis (auto basis would break this because the left "Logo" content would be included in the basis for the left container). The middle is sized to the content and stays centered unless it becomes too wide and will start to take up space on the right and become uncentered.
.f-row {
display: flex;
}
.left-box {
flex: 1 1 0.0000001px;
padding: 1em;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
.middle-box {
padding: 1em;
border: 1px solid red;
justify-self: center
}
.right-box {
padding: 1em;
border: 1px solid green;
flex: 1 0 0.0000001px;
}
<div class="f-row">
<div class="left-box">Logo</div>
<div class="middle-box">Breadcrumb</div>
<div class="right-box"></div>
</div>
<br><br>
<div class="f-row">
<div class="left-box">Logo</div>
<div class="middle-box">Breadcrumb > Longer > Space</div>
<div class="right-box"></div>
</div>
<br><br>
<div class="f-row">
<div class="left-box">Logo</div>
<div class="middle-box">Breadcrumb > Longer > Space > Too Much Now It's Taking Up Space From the Right, Uncentered Now</div>
<div class="right-box"></div>
</div>
Current Situation
Using the following code I show a couple of divs floated to the left.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
box-sizing: border-box;

.container {
width: 100%;

Problem
What I want is that the red boxes don't wrap within its container. I want both, a vertical and horizontal scroll bar if the space is not enough. For the vertical scrollbar it works. What am I missing?
JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/brainchest/j6zh400v/
A fix I found was to change the .column from being a float: left to display: inline-block. This treats each column as a "word" (like a word in text) and thus the white-space: no-wrap; applies. Otherwise, the float: left changes the way the element gets positioned.
Edited Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/9bo4f5pv/
Use display: flex on the parent, then flex: 0 0 150px on the columns.

Hi I have been having a problem with coding my layout I want to have my sidebar stay the same with regardless of screen size, but I also need my content area to be fluid. The header stays at the top which is what I want the problem is the footer I need it to stay always at the bottom and the full width of the content area. If anyone can help it would be muchly appreciated.
Here is my code.
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
float: left;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 80%;
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>
</div>
Use inline-block over float:left to avoid problems with clearings, but when using inline-block better use vh over % to fill the viewport.
And to have a fixed sidebar, just give it a fixed width and use calc to calculate the remaining space.
you can do something like this:
Snippet
html,
body {
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100vw;
font-size: 0; /* fix inline-block gap */
}
#content > div {
font-size: 16px; /* revert font-size 0 */
}
#left {
width: 150px;
height: 100vh;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
display: inline-block;
width: calc(100vw - 150px);
height: 100vh;
background: green
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: calc(100vw - 150px);
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>
</div>
Here's what you should do :
First, replace the float:left; with display: table-cell; for your #left and #right selectors.
Then, use display: table; for your #content selector.
Then, remove the width: 80%; of your #right and #right footer selectors
Add right : 0; to your #right footer selector
Finally, set the left of your footer and the width of your sidebar to the same fixed with and you're there.
The beauty of this approach, is that it also works on IE8 and other browsers that do not have support for calc().
A demo :
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: table;
}
#left {
width: 100px;
height: 100%;
display: table-cell;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
display: table-cell;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right : 0;
left : 100px;
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>

I am trying to make the div tags in my HTML a percent of the size of the parent div, without being too small or too large. What I get when I check the size of the div with this code:
#main {
width: 800px;
height: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.sidebar {
width: 31%;
margin-right: 1%;
margin-left: 2%;
}
.content {
width: 61%;
margin-right: 2%;
margin-left: 1%;
}
.sidebar, .content {
background: #888;
height: 100%;
float: left;
border-radius: 4px;
color: #FFF;
font-family: Helvetica;
text-align: center;
}
.sidebar_inner, .content_inner {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0%;
font-size: 1em;
background-color: black;
}
<div id="main">
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar_inner">
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="content_inner">
<h1>Hello again!</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The blue box is the inner div tag. Here is a better picture of the problem
You will need to have units on your width and height such as px, em, rem, %, vh, vw.
See more here at
W3.org
Solution from your example
The problem is h1 margin. Browsers have default style for line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. However, you can solve your problem by giving margin:0; to the h1 element or use css reset to solve your problem.
h1
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#main {
width: 800px;
height: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.sidebar {
width: 31%;
margin-right: 1%;
margin-left: 2%;
}
.content {
width: 61%;
margin-right: 2%;
margin-left: 1%;
}
.sidebar, .content {
background: #888;
height: 100%;
float: left;
border-radius: 4px;
color: #FFF;
font-family: Helvetica;
text-align: center;
}
.sidebar_inner, .content_inner {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0%;
font-size: 1em;
background-color: black;
}
h1
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
<div id="main">
<div class="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar_inner">
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="content_inner">
<h1>Hello again!</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
All the properties of #main require a measurement unit...
#main {
width: 800px
height: 800px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
For you example, px is good.
It's happening because you have a top margin on your H1 tag.
