Fixed Width List Items Extend Full Length of Page - html

Question

I have a navigation menu that takes up to 250px in width of the page's left side and 100% in height. I added a 1. Fixed Top Title List Item at the top of the navigation menu, as well as a 2. Fixed Footer List Item at the very bottom of the navigation menu. My idea is to keep both items fixed, and both items have to also disappear when the browser width is a certain size. but I have a big problem:
Problem 1: When I add the fixed width to .topfilter and .bottomfilter, the list items now extend the full width of the
entire page instead of the navigation menu.
Problem 2: Now when I resize the browser the fixed width items
don't disappear
Bonus: I also don't know how to add a padding to the .topfilter and .bottomfilter so that they don't cover up the text before it.
Padding-Top and Padding-Bottom don't work.

.topfilter {border-bottom:solid #333 2px; width:100%; height:40px; position:fixed; display:block; text-align:left; background-color:blue; -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;}
.bottomfilter {border-top: solid #333 2px; width:100%; height:50px; position:fixed; display:block; text-align:left; background-color:red; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; bottom:0;}

Answer 1

The Answer was very simple: https://jsfiddle.net/4fqapznu/3/
All I had to do was:
Add min-width:100%, and replace width:100% with width:inherit on the parent container: .sidebar-nav
Then add width:inherit on the 2 children with position fixed items:
.topfilter and .bottomfilter
Here's the code that fixed it for me:
.sidebar-nav {
width:inherit; min-width:100%;
}
.topfilter {width:inherit; position:fixed;}
.bottomfilter { width:inherit; position:fixed;
Note: Now I have another problem with the fixed items overlapping the scrollbar, but I will ask that question on another thread unless someone has a quick answer on how to fix it.
