I'm having some trouble with an area of space between the top of the browser window and my 'head' element, and the 'head' element and my 'body'.
Thus far, adding the following class has not resulted in any improvement:
.header{ <=== I have also attempted .head with no effect
position: absolute;
top: o;
}
I have also experimented with padding and margins, but simply cannot get the head content to "kiss" both the top of the screen and body content.
You can see a rundown of my HTML and CSS here: https://jsfiddle.net/2w3vzstf/
How do I overcome this?
body {
margin: 0;
}
The lower spacing you dont like is the #menu having a margin-top of 10px
Should sort out the spacing above the page.
Try, commenting out the top margin in the menu CSS definition.
#menu {
/* margin-top: 10px; */
Is this what you wanted?
JsFiddle
Your fiddle shows some markup problems.
<head> is not the place for any page content, even the "header". That should all go in the <body> tag.
I have modified your fiddle to show how the css can be modified to get the effect you want:
https://jsfiddle.net/1kn4tnjz/
Basically you set
margin: 0;
for the <body> and <div id="menu"> elements

I have tried setting the margin and padding of h1 and my divs to 0px in my CSS, but the border remains, and it seems like its either my main container div or the CSS properties of or , as inspecting the element links back to both of them in a non-descriptive form, and similarly trying to set margin or padding to 0 gives no result.
What would you suggest to remove the white boarder surrounding my page?
Each browser has its own set of preset css rules, on divs, body, etc. try using something like https://github.com/csstools/sanitize.css which removes them, or simply use
body{ margin: 0 }
It seems you need to remove default margins from the body: body{margin:0;}
In css you can see
border: (px style color)
And that should solve the issue if you delete that settings.
Also, border: none on the element should be an option, but probably you missed the border settings.
Bellow is CSS you need. I suggest you to look up how position: absolute works with properties top, bottom, left, right.
.text2 {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
bottom: 0;
color: grey;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}

As you can see by the screenshot, there is a white border around the main content of the page. Ive tried making everything 100% width etc. but nothing seems to work. The nav bar is just a ul and the bottom part is a container div with other child divs heald inside.
The <body> element has a default margin. You need to set it to zero:
body {
margin: 0;
}
try adding css as below:
body, html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I have trouble to create a page with full screen div with h1 element.
Following page is rendered correctly by IE and Chrome as expected: Contains Red full-screen div, no scroll-bars:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>title</title>
<style>
html {
background-color: purple;
}
body {
background-color: blue;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#main {
background-color: red;
min-height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>
some text
</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
But, for the Firefox (27.0.1) I found:
show purple line at the top of the page
and vertical scroll-bar
if I add some text directly to #main div before h1 element, then page renders as expected.
What I should do to render it correctly in FireFox with text in h1 only ?
Following page is rendered correctly by IE and Chrome as expected: Contains Red full-screen div
If that’s what you get, then that can only be in Quirks Mode, I suppose – because you forgot to set height:100% for html as well, and without that the percentage height for body is not supposed to work that way.
And with a correct Doctype set (and height for html), you get the same result in all standards conform browser – the one you think is wrong: http://jsfiddle.net/q6g8Q/1/
It’s actually correct though, because of adjoining margins – the default margin-top from the browser stylesheet for the h1 adjoins the margin-top of the div – and therefor it gets pushed down accordingly.
So set the margin-top of the h1 to zero, and the “problem” is gone – http://jsfiddle.net/q6g8Q/2/
You have to reset the css of your browser. Just add this to the top of your css :
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
// #main h1 { margin:0; } // this snippet will be enough for your case, but with the other you remove every margin and padding made by the browser.

If you want a full css reset, you should consider the Reset Reloaded.
change the line-height or margin padding. That should do the trick. play around with some big numbers ;)
I just wonder if it is possible to only use CSS but not javascript to style a DIV that will cover up the whole content area exactly? (note: whole content, not just the viewport). It seems not possible because the <body> element has some margin, and it seems like there is no easy way to style the div to include that margin width and height of the body element. But in fact is it possible?
Update: sorry, a requirement is that we can't set the margin of <body> to 0... (update2: say, if we need to make it into a library and can't ask all people who use it to set the body to have margin 0)
Sure, I think.
Reset default margins:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
then for
<div id="shader"></div>
do:
#shader {position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; min-height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;}
This is probably a solution, but it won't work in IE...
div.cover { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; }
If the <body> margin is set, then couldn't you use negative margins on the <div> to override the <body> margins? I understand <body> margins can vary between browsers. If the <body> has a margin of 10px, then style your div like so:
div#mydiv {
margin: -10px;
}
You'd use the same principle to override padding (if applicable).
Logically, this is impossible. Your DIV has to go inside the body, not outside.
Or to put it another way, you asked for the whole "content area" to be covered, but that's not actually what you want, you want the entire body to be covered.
Lazlow has the best suggestion. Maybe set the negative margins/padding to something large so you can be sure it's bigger than the browser default, then have an inner div with the same margin/padding values only positive?
Yes. you just set the padding and margin of the body tag to 0, then you set the padding and margin of the div tag to zero.
what about this?
<div style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:100%;height:100%;">...
Liked Ambrose's answer. The body is ultimate container for your HTML. I have not seen any margins in the body with Mozilla, Chrome, IE, or Opera -- current versions. To prove it: style
body {background-color: yellow;} /*and take a look. */
in any case, it's always a good practice to normalize the browsers setting for margin, padding, etc to zero!
like Dmitri Farkov above
I think there's no way to make the div "float" over your browser, if would so, then the technology could overcome your screen, something like body style="margin: -40px" - should this bleed on your desktop?
And by the way, html styled is abnormal, what would you do next? style , ?? In any case they ARE there so you could set styles on all of them but I don't think it would be much clever.
I don't know if this could help:
<div style="margin:-100%">
But I doubt this can overcome the browser window...
I think MiffTheFox's approach is the best, because its solution covers the situation where other divs has absolute positioning.
Remember that absolute positioning elements go off the flow, and if any element is positioned for example at top:9000px, body height will not be >9000px.
<style type="text/css">
#superdiv{ position:fixed; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; }
</style>
<div id="superdiv">
Put some content here.
</div>
I have a problem with fixing the footer to the bottom of the browser .. The problem is when resolution changes or windows resizes the footer content overlaps the content of the website, here is the current css for footer div
div.footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
}
Does anybody knows how can I fix this? Thank you
UPDATE:
This is what I need exactly but for some reason it doesn't work for my web page, it does work when I cut paste code to the blank page, but since my page is full with content and everything, what are the important elements to include? Hereis the url.
The above trick works only if my website has filled content if I have some lets say few lines the above trick doesn't work.
UPDATE II
My website has dynamic content so I think can't use this sort of CSS Sticky footers because sometimes the website will just have few lines sometimes be packed with content. Thats why the footer is not sticking to the bottom of the webpage.. its not problem to stick the footer if there is plenty content on the website the problem is without.
What you have here is a common problem for which there is no common answer, but what I would try if I were you since all these above suggestions apparently aren't working, I'd try to set my page container background to any color let say white (#FFFFFF) and I'd set background color of body to any other then white let say grey (#CCCCCC). And finaly set footer position to relative and of course it must be placed after everything if you want it alway to be at the bottom. This way you'll get what you need 100 % sure if you follow step by step instructions.
Checkout CSS Sticky Footer for an excellent cross-browser compatible method.
What that site essentially does is make the footer stick BENEATH the browser edge, and gives it a negative margin that has the same value as the footer's height. This way, the footer is sure to stick to the bottom.
You can add a push div to the last element before the footer in order to always assure that the footer doesn't overlap the content.
Given this example:
<html>
<body>
<div class="header" />
<div class="content" />
<div class="footer_push" />
<div class="footer" />
</body>
</html>
If <div class="footer" /> is always 75px high, use the following CSS:
html, body { height: 100%; } /* Take all available vertical space */
/* Push the bottom of the page 75px.
This will not make scrollbars appear
if the content fits already. */
.footer_push { height: 75px; }
/* Position the footer */
.footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0; height: 75px; }
Basically you need to give the footer a fixed height and to push the footer with another div of the same height to the bottom. There's however more browser specific stuff which you need to take into account:
The html and body must besides having a height of 100% no (default) margin to avoid the footer being pushed further to below that amount of margin.
The p and div elements throughout the page must have no margin-top to avoid the footer being pushed further to below that amount of top-margins in under each Firefox.
The "container" div must use min-height of 100% instead of height to avoid the footer to overlap the remaining of the content. IE6 which doesn't know min-height just works fine with height, so you'll need to add a * html hack for this.
All with all, here's an SSCCE, just copy'n'paste'n'run it:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
<title>SO question 1900813</title>
<style>
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
p, div {
margin-top: 0; /* Fix margin collapsing behaviour in FF. Use padding-top if necessary. */
}
#container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
* html #container {
height: 100%; /* This is actually "min-height" for IE6 and older. */
}
#pushfooter {
height: 50px; /* Must be the same as footer height. */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<p>Some content</p>
<div id="pushfooter"></div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Edit: after more testing I realized that this indeed does not work in IE8 (I still consider it as a beta so I didn't really use/test it, sorry about that), unless you let it render in IE7 compatibility modus (insert sad smilie here) by adding the following meta tag to the <head> (which I already added to the SSCCE here above):
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
or to let it render in quirks mode by using a "wrong" doctype (either remove the <!doctype> or pick one of the doctypes associated with painfully red Q boxes in IE here). But I wouldn't do that, that has more negative side-effects as well.
And, surprisingly, the http://www.cssstickyfooter.com site as someone else here mentioned here which used an entirely different approach also did not work in IE8 here (try to resize browser window in y-axis, the footer won't move along it as opposed to other browsers, including IE6/7). That browser keeps astonishing me. Really.
Try setting the footers Position to relative and playing around with a negative top margin to get it how you want it.
What you're looking for is a Sticky Footer, you can find a lot of resources like this one: http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
try this:
#wpr{
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.dsp-tr{
display: table-row;
}
.dsp-tc{
display: table-cell;
}
#ftr-cnr{
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#ftr{
background-color: red;
padding: 10px 0px;
font-size: 24px;
}
<div id="wpr">
<div class="dsp-tr">
<div class="dsp-tc">
body
</div>
</div>
<div class="dsp-tr">
<div class="dsp-tc" id="ftr-cnr">
<div id="ftr">
footer
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
display: table does not make it a table, a <div> is still a <div>, it just tells the browser to display it as table.
i tested it in chrome and firefox
let me know if it works for you.
We had this problem a few times. We could not find any cross browser CSS only solution. We finally resorted to JQuery. We wrote our own (i can't publish) but this one http://www.hardcode.nl/archives_139/article_244-jquery-sticky-footer.htm looks promising:
$(function(){
positionFooter();
function positionFooter(){
if($(document.body).height() < $(window).height()){
$("#pageFooterOuter").css({position: "absolute",top:($(window).scrollTop()+$(window).height()-$("#pageFooterOuter").height())+"px"})
}
}
$(window)
.scroll(positionFooter)
.resize(positionFooter)
});
Do you have a DOCTYPE declaration in the top of your HTML?
If so, there is a good chance I have a solution for you.
I was trying to do a height:100% table or div (assuming this is a basic cornerstone to the expanding footer feature)
No matter what I did, the 100% height didn't work! the elements just didn't stretch...
I narrowed it down to a very basic HTML
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test1</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="border: 2px solid red; height: 100%">Hello
World</div>
</body>
</html>
but the DIV didn't stretch all the way down (the 100% was ignored). This was true also for tables with plain height="100%" attribute.
As a desperate last result guess, I removed the DOCTYPE row, resulting in this code
<html>
<head>
<title>Test1</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="border: 2px solid red; height: 100%">Hello
World</div>
</body>
</html>
And it worked!
I'm sure there is a good explanation, but I really didn't care since it solved the problem
Update
See related question (asked by me)
Depends on what you want to do. I you want it to be always visible on the bottom of your screen, you should use
div.footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Be sure to get some padding on the bottom of your body (or container, so that people can actually scroll to the bottom of the text). The main problem here is that when resizing everything it will overlap.
If you just want to have a footer that has a background-image / colour that stretches all the way till the end (for pages that are not fullpage height) you could try to use a faux column principle or even try to give your body the background colour of your footer and fix the header / content background.
Today I stumbled across this page:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/examples/csslayout1.html
Could be helpfull
I came up with a fairly simple solution that doesn't use any CSS height hacks or any of that.
You just set your <body> with the background you want the footer to have, and then put everything besides the footer in a <div> with the properties you would normally give to the body tag.
This gets the footer to "extend" its color to the bottom of the page when there is short dynamic content without expanding it needlessly when there is a lot of dynamic content. The "virtual body" div can still have a gradient followed by a solid color, and the footer's background is hiding in the body tag, only showing up on short pages. (Works great if you need a solid color to continue after your footer gradient ends, or if you just need the background to match the footer color)
CSS
body {background-color: #000; }
#primary_container { background: #FFF url('/images/bgvert.png'); background-repeat: repeat-x; }
#footer { background: #000; }
HTML
<body>
<div id="primary_container">
<!-- most content, can be short or long -->
</div>
<div id="footer">
<!-- if primary content + footer is less than browser height, body background color
displays below this. If it is more, you get normal scroll behavior to the end
of footer and body background color is never seen -->
</div>
</body>
