I am enclosing the main content of my page into a div which has a top margin of 80px like in the screenshot:
This works, the problem is that there is a leaderboard banner just above it and the div prevents the banner to be clickable just for the area illustrated in green.
The code is nothing special:
#content {
position: relative;
padding: 80px 10px 15px;
min-height: 400px;
}
The problem also occurs if I use margin instead of padding.
How could I maintain the margin/padding and in the same time keep the leaderboard clickable?
try adding this to your css :
#content{
z-index: 1;
}
#yourBanner{
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}

As can be seen here (please make it wider): http://jsfiddle.net/CZayc/1368/, I wanted to make my navbar width 100% of browser width, and place some links (First Second Third Fourth) in the centered, 1200px wide space.
I do not know why, but the middle container just overlaps the navbar.
Changing position: absolute; on navbar caused it to shrink to 1200px size (not desired).
What can I do about it? There is also a problem with link container, because I couldnt center First Second Third Fourth in the desired 1200px space (probably due to overlap).
Thanks!
Using absolute position on an element takes it out of the content flow: meaning that other elements in the flow act like its not there. The elements overlap because there is nothing to push the middle content down below the header.
There are 2 things you could do:
stop using position absolute. as #NendoTaka suggests, relative should be fine. If there is some reason for absolute positioning you haven't explained, then
add a margin to the middle content area.
Example CSS
.middle {
background-color: #7f7f7f;
height: 1050px;
margin: 74px auto 0; /* height of nav plus its borders*/
}
You can move .middle out of the way by adding margin-top: https://jsfiddle.net/CZayc/1371/
Be sure to set margin-top to the height of .nav. This includes borders, too.
Change your nav class to
.nav {
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
width: 100%;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
}
Note: You don't need the width: 100% but just in case.
You need to apply position:relative to both the .nav and the .middle
Your problem before was that .nav had an absolute position which caused the overlap. the relative positioning keeps that from happening because it formats each div relative to the previous div as written in your HTML.
.nav {
position: relative;
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
/* position: absolute; */
left: 0;
right: 0;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
}
.middle {
position: relative;
background-color: #7f7f7f;
height: 1050px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
You’re trying to solve the wrong problem with your question. The example below is a cleaned up version of your code.
* { margin:0; padding:0 }
nav {
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
text-align: center;
}
<header>Test test</header>
<nav>
<a>First</a>
<a>Second</a>
<a>Third</a>
<a>Foruth</a>
</nav>
<div class="middle">
11111<br>22222<br>33333<br>44444<br>55555<br>66666
</div>
<footer>Test</footer>
Be mindful of the HTML you use. The HTML tags you choose should provide meaning to the content they wrap. Also you should avoid using position: absolute for general layout concerns such as this one.
Hope that helps.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the footer to stick to the bottom of the page in the css of http://bit.ly/138xOAB
I've tried alot of things which were said in tutorials, such as:
the position absolute,
bottom:0,
and min-height of the container 100%,
height of the body 100%,
But none of those things turned out well.
You can see the HTML and CSS by inspecting the website. I can't get the proper code over here.
Can someone help me, maybe there is something wrong in the HTML?
The problem with you footer's position: absolute; is that it will hide the other elements behind it.
Your footer can be best viewed if you remove position: absolute; so as to show all elements and add margin-top: 20px; for some gap in between the footer and the element before it..
Try it.
EDIT:
If you want the footer to be always float on the screen, use the following CSS (comments inline):
.container {
max-width: 1200px;
margin: auto;
padding: 0px 3%;
margin-bottom: 250px; /* so that all content is visible */
}
.footer {
background: #efefef;
position: fixed; /* so that the footer floats */
overflow: auto;
bottom: 0px; /* float at bottom */
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
height: 180px;
width: 100%;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Remove "position: absolute" and "bottom: 0" from the .footer class. I think that fixes your issue. And add a small margin above the footer so there is a small space between the content and the footer.
I want to make a sticky footer like the one I made in this example.
http://codepen.io/Kenny94/pen/JvtFs
html, body {
height: 100%;
width:100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
div {
font-size: 30px;
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:60px;
background: red;
}
footer {
background:green;
height: 60px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
Right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
The problem is it doesn't work right in my current project. It sets the footer behind the body but if I start to scroll it appears. If I watch the size of the body in chrome it has a height off 970px but the whole site is much bigger because of the post. It seems to me that the body didn't expand like the Blog Post Wrapper. I set the BG-Color to grey in the body and that fills the whole page. I have no clue why it dosen't work with height 100%. I could set the height to 4000px to fit with the content and everything else but thats not a real solution.
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve.
-If you are wondering why the footer is placed behind the body, it's because you set
z-index to -1.
So the fix would be this: http://jsfiddle.net/bmpy6/
-If you don't want to have it visible when scrolling (so to say, keep it fixed at the bottom at all times), this should be what you want: http://jsfiddle.net/bmpy6/1/
For that, you omit the position: fixed;.
You don't need to set your height on the html tag or the body tag. It will flow with the content. You're setting the min-height of the main div to 100%. This will take up the rest of the remaining space when a view is loaded pushing the footer off the screen. You can either change the height of the main div or make the footer position fixed to the bottom of the screen if you want it to be sticky as in stick to the bottom of the screen.
Change :
footer {
background:green;
height: 60px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
Right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
To :
footer {
background:green;
height: 60px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
Right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
Just changing the z-index will bring your footer to the front. Remember that the Z-index basically gives your id's and classes precedence over one another in terms of their visibility.
You do not need to set the height at all. Try this:
div {
font-size: 30px;
margin-bottom:60px;
background: red;
}
Instead of:
div {
font-size: 30px;
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:60px;
background: red;
}
You see, when you tell the page to have a height of 100%, you are telling it fill 100% of the screens height. When you remove the height,(In this case it was a min-height so it will expand if needed) the <div> expands to the height needed to hold the content.
See this JSFiddle for a working example
Hope this helps!
Here's what I'd like to do: have a banner across the top of a website which stretches all across. On the left is a menu, and on the right a logo image; the menu floats left, the image floats right.
The problem is the resizing of the browser window. Because the image floats right, it correctly moves as the window gets smaller. However, at some point it begins to float into the menu. Here is a Fiddle that illustrates this effect with two floating images. Resize the browser window to see how the two images overlap.
Setting
body {
min-width: 800px;
}
I can now make sure that the scrollbar appears as the browser window reaches a certain minimum width. However, that doesn't hinder the right-floating image to keep moving as the browser window keeps getting smaller. I tried to change position: relative but that didn't work. I tried to use Javascript to fixate the images once the browser window reaches its min-width but that didn't seem to have an impact either. Using min-width on the DIV and making the images children of the DIV didn't work either.
My question is: how can I make sure that, starting at a certain window size, the right-floating image stays put instead of floating into the left-floating menu?
EDIT: Oh dear, I forgot to mention a rather important detail: the menu bar at the top needs to be sticky. That is why I used the position: fixed property for the DIV. The other page content is supposed to scroll under that menu and out of the window, see the modified fiddle here which is based on ntgCleaner's answer. This kind-of changes the whole thing, doesn't it! Sorry about that...
Thanks!
A couple things I changed:
I made your banner DIV a container instead of just a free floating div. Probably not necessary.
I gave that banner div a min-width:280px and made it overflow:hidden;
I made the images just float left and right, not positioned relatively or absolute (since it's in the div container now).
#banner {
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background-color: lightblue;
z-index: 1;
opacity: 0.8;
overflow:hidden;
min-width:280px;
}
#left {
float:left;
margin:5px;
height:40px;
}
#right {
float:right;
margin:5px;
height:40px;
}
Here's the fiddle
EDITED FOR THE EDITED QUESTION:
You will just need to place all of your content under your header into a div, then give that div a top margin of the height of your fixed div. In this caes, it's 60px.
Add this to your HTML
<div id="content">
this <br>
is <br>
some <br>
test <br>
text <br>
</div>
then add this to your CSS
#content {
margin:60px 0px 0px 0px;
}
Here's the new fiddle
Is this what you are after? http://jsfiddle.net/9wNEx/10/
You are not using the position: fixed correctly. Fixed means 'positioned relative to the viewport or browser window', and that is exactly what you are experiencing.
I removed the position: fixed from the images, and placed them inside the div. This should keep them always on top of the page, as they are inside the div that is still positioned fixed.
Also I tweaked some of the other styling to replicate your example. Note that i removed the fixed height of the head and replaced it by a padding bottom. This way the height will follow the content whenever the screen size becomes to small and the images are forced underneath each other.
The css looks like this now:
#banner {
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 15px;
background-color: lightblue;
z-index: 1;
position: fixed;
opacity: 0.8;
}
#left {
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
height: 40px;
}
#right {
float: right;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
height: 40px;
}
I changed your HTML to put the <img> tags inside the banner, and added the min-width to the #banner since it has position: fixed. You'll still need to add min-width to the body or a container that wraps all other elements if you want there to be a min-width of the entire page.
http://jsfiddle.net/Wexcode/s8bQL/
<div id="banner">
<img id="left" src="http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png" />
<img id="right" src="http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png" />
</div>
#banner {
width: 100%;
min-width: 800px;
height: 60px;
background-color: lightblue;
z-index: 1;
position: fixed;
opacity: 0.8; }
#left {
float: left;
margin: 5px 0 0 10px;
height: 40px; }
#right {
float: right;
margin: 5px 10px 0 0;
height: 40px; }
When I look at your Fiddle I think your problem isn't the floats at all. position:fixed supersedes float. Those two elements aren't floating at all, they're in a fixed position (similar to an absolute position), which is why they overlap when they don't have enough room.
Take out float:left and float:right, the result will be the same. Also, top, left, bottom, and right don't work on non-positioned elements. So they are superfluous on your banner.
If you use floats, however, when there is not enough room the right image will wrap underneath the left. See http://codepen.io/morewry/pen/rjCGd. Assuming the heights on the images were set for jsfiddle testing only, all you need is:
.banner {
padding: 5px; /* don't repeat padding unnecessarily */
min-width: ??; /* to keep floats from wrapping, set one */
overflow: hidden; /* clearfix */
}
.right { float: right; } /* only need one float, don't over-complicate it with two */
I have a div(InnerDiv) which contains a grid with paging enabled...
After some user actions , data inside that grid will load and we will have a big grid!
The problem is when grid's data loads , overflow the div's bottom portion(InnerDiv) and some of those data get's displayed out of the div.
my css of body and html like below :
html, body
{
margin: 0; /* get rid of default spacing on the edges */
padding: 0; /* get rid of default spacing on the edges */
border: 0; /* get rid of that 2px window border in Internet Explorer 6 */
height: 100%; /* fill the height of the browser */
border:3px solid red;
}
i need 100% height of body when page loads...
OuterDiv inside body like below :
div#OuterDiv
{
position:absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
/*height: auto;*/
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
border:5px solid green;
}
InnerDiv Inside OuterDiv Is Like Below :
div#InnerDiv
{
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: transparent url('../Images/Blue.png') repeat scroll left top;
}
Content Inside InnerDiv Like Below :
#Content
{
position: relative;
top: 10px;
background: transparent url('../Images/Red.png') repeat scroll left top;
width: 550px;
height: 1080px; /*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> plz see this line*/
top: 10px;
right: 10px;
padding: 7px;
border: 10px ridge #ce004e;
color: black;
}
that grid(Content) is inside InnerDiv...
EDIT 1
the below example can show my situation :
Here's an example at jsFiddle
we can not remove position:absolute of OuterDiv , by doing that height:auto or height:100% on it does not work at page start -> outerDiv should be 100% because Of InnerDiv Background and remember InnerDiv height is not 1080px at start -> it is only 200px at page load and dynamically it will change to 1080px!
i want to force yellow area (InnerDiv) to fill entire Purple Area...
also InnerDiv Should Have 100% Height Because Of It's Background At Page Start...
i know this problem is about 100% height / but how can i fix that ?
EDIT 2 :
AT LAST HERE IS MY WEB SITE :
MY WEB SITE
plz change the height of red area with firebug - so by changing it to 1080px body and OuterDiv And InnerDiv Will grow.
but at page load i want body and OuterDiv And InnerDiv 100% height.
how can i do that?
thanks in advance
You need less constraints on #OuterDiv. By specifying top, bottom, left, and right, you're locking the edges of #OuterDiv to the edges of body; and your body rule locks body to the same size as the viewport.
Try changing your div#OuterDiv rule like this:
div#OuterDiv
{
position:absolute;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 5px solid green;
}
Here's an example at jsFiddle
From what I could gather from your explanation and styles you basically want this:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/zXSXx/
If this is correct I will also explain what is happening to each div. Else please tell me what div is behaving not as you would like and why.
By the way if possible use absolute paths (whole links) to images. Seeing how they need to fit together will help us all to find something that works for you.
