I have a div with fixed width. So if content goes over the available width, a horizontal scrollbar appears. Now I want to add a button which should increase the width of the div such that it does not require any horizontal scrollbar. Meaning, it should set whatever is the required width to accommodate the entire content in it.
I tried getting the width using innerWidth which returns incorrect width. Quick google search mentioned about scrollWidth, offsetWidth but there are no such methods in angular.js

I'm trying to scroll some single-line labels in a single-line fixed-width container.
What I've tried so far is:
Create a container with fixed dimensions.
Place a scrollable container inside and attach the animation.
Place the labels.
The animation partially works, but the scrolling doesn't go all the way to what is configured (translateX(-100%)).
The overflowing part (green color in codepen) that exceeds the fixed container width is ignored.
I've tried various display and flex field combinations, but noting.
Here is a codepen sample.
https://codepen.io/efthymiosks/pen/QWQGVGg
The issue is that 100% is the size of the element, not the content. What I mean by this is because the content overflows the element, 100% only refers to the visible width of the container.
You need to change 100% to something else such as 150%. Unfortunately, this means that you need to know the width of the contents before. The only other way that I know of is using JavaScript to calculate the width of the contents.

I have the following layout I need to solve
I understand that the whole idea of the responsive design is to leave the height to adjust to the content, but for this particular work the customer wants it this way no matter how I have to figure it out but I'm struggling hard to achieve it
In my mockup I have a 100% height and weight body, and then a container taking 85% height of the body size.
Inside that container there are the following elements:
A Top div container with the company logo
A Progress bar with a step number
A small div with some instructions for the current step
A Div containing the form elements that the user has to fill
A bottom div with 2 navigation buttons
The content should be always visible no matter the device used (see image below)
Number 4. has a inner scrollbar with overflow-y because that content will change
In order to do this i set heights in percentage (%) for each div within the container, however I need some padding for the elements, but when the browser resizes or the device changes height and width the elements overlap each other
I don't want to rely on a bunch of media queries to fix this. I wonder if anyone can find an approach or some reference for this since i can't seem to find it
Thanks
If you don't want to use many media queries, I think you should use Jquery (or Javascript) like this:
Fixed height of all div except FORM CONTENT (include padding, margin, border with box-sizing: border-box). You can use some media queries for best style.
Use Jquery to calculate height of FORM CONTENT (this is scrollable content)
Example:
$('#form-content').height($(window).height() - X);
// With X = total height of other divs includes margin, padding, border
Call this script in $(document).ready(...) and $(window).resize(...)
Hope this help.
I am trying to get a div to expand to fill its container without causing that container to expand beyond the browser window's width, as in this page. Click "Expand" next to "Stack Trace in the last entry.
What it's supposed to do is show a horizontal scrollbar.
What it's actually doing is expanding beyond the width of the window.
I can get it to sort of work if I give the <div class="stack"> element a max-width in pixels, but I want it to expand to fill no matter how wide the window is, without expanding beyond it.
How can I fix this layout? What's a general way with css to get an element to expand horizontally to fill its container while not going beyond the window's edge?
The Page is back on now!
I cann't get your table stuff sorted. There are some invalid width Parameters.
You should use div-Containers rather then tables to layout your page!
The workaround solution I came up with was adding a max-width to the expand/collapse div. It doesn't really prevent the table being wider than the window, but it solves 95% of the cases.
Don't use tables, use DIV's and for full width use
width: 100%;
This will always use up 100% of the browser window width.
You can provide you outer Div width:100% so it will take browser width. Or else you can calculate browser width with Jquery $(document).width(); and store this in variable and provide to your outer div.

I have a fixed div at the top which will act as a menu and a content div below containing everything else. I cannot figure out how to use overflow-y: scroll so that the pages scroll bar is only used for the content div and ignores the header div at the top.
PrimeFaces's layout/layoutUnit components do exactly what you needed. And if I'm not mistaken, they use javascript to calculate and set an height to the content. Each time you resize your page it recalculates the values.
You can check their showcase:
http://primefaces.org/showcase/ui/layoutFull.jsf
I dare say, you need to set a fixed height for overflow-y'to work. And one way to make it dynamic is to somehow calculate the necessary values.
Also you could make them have dynamically calculated fixed heights by using css positioning and left-right-top-bottom properties.
Best regards..
I know this is a common problem and I feel really stupid for not being able to figure it out, but I have a 3 column layout in HTML, and I seriously cannot figure this out for the life of me.
Here is the basic layout of my site:
fixed header,
1 sidebar on each side,
middle area with content.
Here is a mockup of the site that I'm speaking about: http://eitanrosenberg.com/tests/pop/bootstrap/
It looks ok at first, but when the browser is resized, the sidebars get really small and there is a ton of white space. Why is this? Thank you so much in advance.
Look at it this way.
The height:100% of the container div (and the column divs) gets their height from the body-element (100% of that), and the height of the body element is calculated as 100% of the height of the html element
The height of the html element is then (in practice) calculated from the current height of the browser window (100% of that).
So the height of your boxes will all be set to match the heigth of the browser window...
and this is exactly what you see when you shrink the browser window heigth!
Because:
Once your content no longer fits within the height of its container (ie. when you shrink the browser window you also shrink the calculated heights of all your containers and eventually the headroom will be too small) - overflow happens. The content of the "highest" box will then be the first to overflow, and parts of its content will then spill out of it to be visible below the boxes (since you don't use overflow: hidden).
The browser will then allow you to scroll past the bottom of the boxes (so to speak) in order for you to be able to see the content that "overflows the box", but it doesn't adjust the height of container - the boxes will still keep the same height as the browser window while you scroll...
So the background patterns will always be the height of 100% of the browser window in this example (an not match the height of the highest content when the height shrinks below that)...
One way to remedy this - is to adjust the height of the boxes with Javascript (calculate the height of the highest column and set that as an absolute value for height on the container and the boxes - every time the page resizes)
... or you could use "display: table" and "display: table-cell" on the container and the columns respectively as a workaround (overriding the Bootstrap grid CSS) for this particular layout width/media queries...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
