Flash slider won't fit screen - html

I've created a very easy looking slider using Adobe Flash. This is four big pictures containing some text, which will be placed in a HTML-website using Dreamweaver. The size is the problem. The picture is suppose to fit the entire width, and like 50% of the heigh. When I "Preview in browser", it won't fit the screen, and you have to "scroll" around to see the entire picture. Any suggestions?

How the percentage is applied depends on a number of things, some of them being:
Box-sizing
Display value of parent and child
Whether the parent has its width set
Whether the parent and child are in the same flow
Please check against this list to find out what the issue is in your case.

CSS approach to image-gallery baseline on Cargocollective

I am building a website on Cargocollective.
I want to change the baseline to top of the image gallery. (Now based on baseline)
When I watch the source through Google inspector, I can find the code right this
but I can't find that css code in cargocollective CSS editing window,
and I don't know how I can approach to that.
help me!
and I want to know make image full to the square. (to be no blank in the square, even if the image is cut off somewhat)
How can I ?
You're using flexbox, wich means items are at the center of the height, if you want to change the baseline you would have to change the height of a row.
Or you could use flex start / flex end to set all images top or bottom
and I want to know make image full to the square
For this you want to research things like cover or contain
src (https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_object-fit.asp)
Make the widht and height like 200px x 200px and make the child as the background. then use cover/contain

My width attribute is overriding object-fit: contain

I am developing an information board for a university club of mine. I almost have it complete, except I have one annoying bug left: The center image expands beneath the viewport.
The image is supposed to shrink and expand to stay between the two side columns, which it does because of
a percentage width css attribute. However, I would like it to not expand further once the bottom of the image makes contact with the bottom of the viewport; it should simply remain centered.
For the life of me I cannot get a solution that both stops it from growing beyond the bottom of the page without mangling the aspect ratio of the image.
I thought I was on to something with object-fit: contain but alas, it appears width will always prioritize itself over object-fit.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm quite new to web dev.
Here is a link to a client-side view of what I have so far:

Have you looked into display: flex? You can wrap a div around the three .column classes, give that container div a property of display:flex and then you can add some subsequent properties that will line up the .column classes the way you want.

Scaling divs and content to fit

I am building a module to display html divs(pages) which are designed to in a later stage be printed out as A4s. The area where these divs are displayed is however to small to display the full width of the divs and thus the pages and their content need to be scaled down to fit within the display-area at hand.
The children of the a4-pages are styled with both set widths/heights and percentages so it would be a nice approach to use the CSS3 Tranform scale to scale the pages down just enough so that they can be displayed but this becomes problematic since the scale is done after rendering and thus creates an white area around the pages.
I'm using jquery to rescale the pages when window is resized and will also implement this when page is loaded.
How do i scale several divs within a common wrapper and also readjust the parent so that the scaled div is showed without any padding around it?
Edit: I've put together a simple fiddle displaying the issue http://jsfiddle.net/96jkU/
#toBeScaled should display over the full width of #displayArea but still be scaled to 0.5
If I understand the question correctly, you want the scaled div to sit in the top left corner of the parent div.
In that case, the problem is that the transform origin is set to 50% 50% by default. This is good for rotations (you typically want to rotate something around its center) but not really for scaling; your div gets shrunk down to the center of where it would originally be.
Solution: all you need to do is add
transform-origin:0 0;
(with the proper prefixes) to the style for #toBeScaled.
See updated fiddle.

HTML5 (& CSS3?) Create a grid of squares in the background

I had an idea for a background but I don't know if it can be done, and if it can, what the best method would be. Just to let you into my idea, it's a grid of squares as the background for a page but when you mouse over one it changes color and slowly shifts back(I know how to do the animation portion). The grid is supposed to span the entire page, width and height, and overflow would be hidden. I'd also wish that it could re size itself if the page does
So I'm wondering if this can be done. If it can, how would I generate the grid?
I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas?
I would use <canvas>. Or maybe fill entire body with equally sized DIV's with height and width defined in percentages. Lets say that would be grid of 10x10 DIV's. Or you can create on -the-fly with jQuery as many DIV as you want (to fill whole height). You can float those DIV's to fill entire viewport, and if window is resized use media queries to arrange them. On hover, you can apply some animation on every DIV. Of course, you can put other elements over those DIV's.

Need help getting divs to fill entire text and screen area

So, I'm working on coding my first site. It's a lot of googling for hours, then putting down the code, but I'm struggling through it, and enjoying it. However, I have a problem I've been unable to solve.
I am trying to get a div that fills the whole page by default, but that also expands when text goes past the "100%" height. I've tried using the two seperate divs to accomplish it, and it's worked. However, I am trying to use a semi-transparent div, meaning I can't stack two on top of each other, or else part of it (the "height:100%") becomes solid, while the other part (the div that expands to fit the text) is still semitransparent. Is there any way to make a div fill the remainder of the page from the point it starts? So that that way it could fill from the bottom of the 100% height to the rest of where the text fits? I would just space it using a margin-top characteristic, but the pages need to be elastic and be able to grow with the content. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.. It's hard for me to explain it without examples and being able to point. Haha.
I believe the CSS property you would want to use in this instance is min-height. If you give an element a min-height, even if the content is smaller than the min-height, it will render at that value. If the content is larger than the min-height, then it will expand to fit the size of the content.
