I am having trouble with two buttons at the top of my mobile site
www.thefriendlydentist.ie
They are clickable on desktop but on mobile I get no response?
The html is placed in the header of the WP theme.
<div id="topcontact-2" style="background-color:white;">
<p style="background-color:white;padding:none;"class="call-button" id="call-button"> CALL US </p>
<p style="background-color:white;padding:none;" class="call-button" id="email-button"> EMAIL US </p>
</div>
You need check your all elements (divs) properly, I strongly suggest you using mobile device toolbar on Chrome or Mozilla.
If you look on desktop browser using by mobile device toolbar, you will see the some elements overlapping the all page. So your buttons that you want to click stay behind of those elements.
- Option 1: remove overlapping elements
- Option 2: use z-index to manage them.
<div class="mobile-bg-fix-img-wrap">
<div class="mobile-bg-fix-img" style="/* width: 375px; *//* height: 767px; */"></div>
</div>
You can see in image how above elements fill the page.
How Z-Index Works?
All of us are quite comfortable set some x (left:10px) and y (top:10px) values to elements by using CSS but not for z-index. Z-index property defines the level of an HTML element on the screen. Let's check the elements below.
In brief, z-index will define the closeness of the elements to the user. In this sample you can assign elements like below:
red square z-index:10
blue circle z-index:56
white square z-index:985
in this order, nothing will change. In this case, we know that z-index is relative. Another important thing, we need to know about z-index, it will only work on an element whose position property has been explicitly set to absolute, fixed, or relative
To deep dive, please check the z-index documentation.
How to Activate Mobile Toolbar on Chrome?
Mobile toolbar shows how your elements are placed in a mobile browser. Using this tool, you can detect almost everything you would expect to see in a mobile browser. You can also inspect and alter your CSS codes easily.

Other Possibilites For The Problem
1. Javascript Blocking
Using javascript, you can override original behavior of an HTML element. Check below code, this will prevent the real action of the <a> element.
Non-clickable Link
Using JQuery
<script>
$(".prevent-click").click(function(){
return false;
})
</script>
Using Javascript
document.getElementsByClassName("prevent-click")[0].addEventListener('click', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
return false;
});
Please check your codes carefully, is there any Javascript code to prevent the original action of HTML elements. In addition, to check this quickly, you can disable all javascript codes on Chrome by following steps below.
Open Developer Console
Go to Settings - right top corner of the inspection tool
Check the box (Disable Javascript)
Refresh the page.
Please go in to your CSS and make this change.
.mobile-bg-fix-wrap .mobile-bg-fix-img {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 125%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
background-size: cover;
}
To:
.mobile-bg-fix-wrap .mobile-bg-fix-img {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 125%;
background-size: cover;
}
The top and left set to 0 was overlapping the two buttons causing it that you could not click on them.
HTML links not clickable on mobile, but are clickable on desktop.
I have one solution. Try this
Html
<a href="https://www.stackoverflow.com" class="goclick">
css
.goclick{
position: relative;
z-index: 9;
}
For this, go to Google Chrome > Developer tools.
Inspect the element, if it is being overlapped by anything, add clear: both;
to the overlapping element.
Actually, in my issue, it fixed everything.
for me, i had a class with...
z-index: -1
which was forcing the parent <div> to the back. changing this to 0 or simply removing it, solved the problem

I am working on a website.
Now what I want is to open a small screen with text and images,which pops up when a link is clicked.
I don't want to open small sized webpage..
What I want is similar to this in chrome.. "chrome://settings/startup"
please if someone can tell me what this feature is called and how it is implemented It will be helpful.
It's called a modal window. Not a real pop up.
Create a div with id
<div id="modal">
// your content with images
</div>
CSS
#modal {
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
top: 25%;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
margin: auto;
display: none;
}
Now in javascript:
On click of the link, show the modal window
$("#buttonId").click(function() {
$("#modal").show();
})
There already many plugins which does this:
Jquery UI
Bootstrap
But, if you have Chrome or a modern browser, use the <dialog open> tag (like a div) and use id's to edit the dialog via JS, such as:
window.<id>.close(); // closes dialog/hides it
window.<id>.show();
window.<id>.showModal(); // instead of showing it regularly, it puts it to the middle of the screen and greys the background like an alert. (you can edit the background effect with CSS)
If you want to use pure html, probably you can use window object. It has several types of popup window method, like window.alert(), window.comfirm(), etc.
If you want to use with javascript and css, then there are many ways to implement it. Here is a simple example I found:
[1]http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/10/creating-a-modal-window-with-html5-and-css3/
I'm using a plugin to display vote buttons on my wordpress install.
Plugin loads the css from an external source (plugin owner site).
Since I can't touch that css I'm using custom.css to change the positioning of button.
The problem is that while it loads, for 1-2 seconds, the element that contains the button is displayed distorted. Since I have 25 such elements per page, it looks aweful until the buttons load and my css takes effect.
You can see it in action here: http://theroadmap.co/generation/
Here is my custom css for the button (also if you inspect element on my site):
.likebtn-wrapper.lb-loaded.lb-style-heartcross.lb-popup-position-top.lb-popup-style-light
position: absolute;
text-align: right;
top: -3px;
right: 0;
width: 10%;
I was wondering what would be the easiest way to fix this? I was thinking of doing display:none or visbility:hidden until the user hovers, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I tried using a lazyload for the image, but it's the element that's causing the visual distortion not the image.
Thanks!
Try adding following code to your CSS:
.tooltip { height: 24px; }
Edit: You'll just need to set height of list items (i.e. class tooltip).
Basically, it will create the structure while CSS gets fetched from likebtn.com
I am using the following html to position anchors under a fixed menu:
<a style="position: relative; top: -150px;" name="services"></a>
This works fine in Firefox but ie, chrome and safari all load the anchors to a slightly different position, obscuring the text 'under' the fixed menu.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could go about resolving this issue.

Many thanks in advance,

When I make sites like this, I like to make sure that each "page" has a similar class, but different id. When styling the class, make sure you give the following attributes.
.page {
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 1000px;
}
Adding the margin-bottom will prevent you from seeing the extra pages.
I also noticed that you are using jQuery for the slide to effect, I am not sure why you are using the styling for the a name. Just do the following:
<h1 class="page_title" id="services"><a name="services">Services</a></h1>
And make sure to wrap everything up in the page DIV.
So first of all let me admit I'm not the best at coding, I'm a graphic designer but I 'm trying to teach myself HTML5. I have managed to troubleshoot most of my problemsbut I'm stumped now.
Essentially my problem is when you click a thumbnail within the iframe, it aligns the thumbnail at the very top of the screen. I tried adding translateY to the "page" class, and I also tried it inside the iframe pages but that caused the main picture to be misaligned.
My testpage is online at http://www.brodylahd.com/index2
In reply to Cat Chen
yes i think that is what i need to do... but will it still have the same horizontal movement?
Thumbnail links aligning the it's container at the very top of the screen on click because you are using anchors (Uri Fragments) like #a1 #a2 #a3 in href attributes.
You can try to remove that fragments or prevent in-page movement using a small javascript workaround like this:
$('#thumbs').find('a').bind('click', function() {
return false;
})
This is an issue with going to anchors in iframe, so that browsers tend to center on the content in them if you're targeting them.
The simplest solution in your case (but not ideal) is to control where the scroll would be, so if you'll add
#a1 { position:relative; top: -186px; }
#wrapper { position:relative; top: 186px; }
The page would be centered more visually correct, but still would scroll.
If you want to still use CSS, you can try to change your links+#aN:target .page{…} behavior to a one, that would use labels and radio-buttons that would go before .page blocks: #aN:checked+.page{…}, but I'm not sure if browsers would or wouldn't scroll the page when you're using radios instead of links.
We are having a problem with our facebook like/send button, if you open: http://apps.facebook.com/bymii-test/products.php?pageid=216605071714962&prd_id=35&prd_name=Coalesce: - click facebook send, the box is behind the facebook sidebar. Is there any way to: change the z-index - or to make the window pop up on the left?
I FINALLY FOUND THE ANSWER!! 1 1/2 Hours searching later.. just enter this code into your CSS file:
.fb_edge_widget_with_comment span.fb_edge_comment_widget {
top: 15px !important;
left: -250px !important;}
Hope this is what you were looking for, because it was exactly what I was looking for!
Make sure the parent/container element has css value "overflow:visible". It happens when "overflow:hidden". Hope this helps.
The way for it to popup up and over all of it is to make the like button work in XFBML. The iframe implementation is limited and if you change the height and width of it to just fit the button, the window will appear hidden.
I found this to work:
/* the below allows the fb:like iframe to show entirely instead of getting cropped off */
.fb-like iframe {
max-width: inherit;
}
/* the same issue with the "send" button */
.fb-send iframe {
max-width: inherit;
}
As you can see, it's asking those elements to "inherit" the width attributes of its parent elements.
Hope that helps.
I modified Shane's excellent solution to focus specifically on z-index:
css:
.fb_edge_widget_with_comment span.fb_edge_comment_widget
{
z-index:8 !important;
}
The above css code shows the Facebook widget above everything else, without having to relocate or "overflow" anything.
This is a common problem all developers are facing. The popup has no way to detect its relative position on a page or in an iframe.
To get the desired results i always install my like, send buttons on the left side of my page.
