Basically I've created a site, with image floated to the right.
Like this:
Everything works nice and clean, only issue comes when it comes to resizing/zooming.
I have modelled my site according to the standards and I don't have any overlapping elements or anything of similar sort.
Basically I've just set my main content to margin: auto; max-width: 85%; to generate the page content displaying in middle inside a class, while everything else is displaying on 100% width.
Everything works as expected, even at tablet sizes eg.
Everything is nicely centered in the middle while the rest of the site stretches out to the edges.
Now, however, when I start exceeding the width limits of the site/picture, issues occur.
Basically,
since my content width is set to 85% the picture begins to squish itself into the left side of my website, in order to mainstain the centering of the right site
Illustration below:
So I'm asking, is there any good method to prevent this from happening?
I presume the solution will be using #media port and resizing the image, or?

I'm building a site with various background images with content laid on top of it. The way I have it now is not working because when I view the site on a mobile browser, some of the elements get pushed to the left leaving an ugly white space on the right.
This is because the elements that are being pushed aren't contained within a wrapper. However, I am not sure how to lay out all of the elements especially with the various background images that they need to be laid upon.
I've created a simple image of how the divs are laid out.
Note: All the text 100% width, etc is referring to the divs under the red transparent boxes (the content). The actual site can be viewed here.
Can someone help me figure out how I should build the HTML properly for the layout of this website? For example, should I split the top half and bottom half to #top and #bottom with a wrapper within each? I'm stuck as to how I should approach this.
It seems that all your widths are based on pixels when (for responsive results) should be percentages.
What is ruining your iPhone layout seems to be the pinboard ID at 1122px with a margin of 47px. That is much wider than the other divs above and below.
However, fixed layouts can be applicable to mobile. See -> fixed-vs-fluid-vs-elastic-layout-whats-the-right-one-for-you/
I am an HTML/CSS novice and am trying to build a website for my wedding next year. On the main page here I have identical ribbon images on either side of my main div. What I want to happen is that the site remains centered no matter the screen resolution (showing more or less of the ribbons on either side depending on the resolution). It seems to work for the left ribbon but the right does not want to cooperate. The issue is particularly bad on iPads where the entire site appears left justified and the entire right ribbon is visible.
Any help would be welcome,
thanks.
apply the following css to html:
overflow:hidden;
applying overflow:hidden to the img won't work, the img isn't overflowing relative to its own width. (in contrary to how you think the overflow property would work)
I'm pretty sure the question has been asked and answered, I don't know HTML and CSS well enough to know where or how to search. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a community application built in Silverlight: http://www.scalerailsonline.com/default.aspx
Having finally decided to give Microsoft the chuck I'm rewriting it from scratch. 90% of is pretty easy. I'm struggling with the HTML and CSS to accomplish the chat portion of the app.
I've marked up a screen shot to show what I'm trying to do.
The main goal is to create a scrollable container that expands and contracts to fit the available space.
First I want to have the web page expand or contract to fit in the browser window.
Second Right column expands horizontally to fit the content and the bottom area expands vertically to fit the chat entry controls.
Once the page is fit to the browser and the space is committed to the right and bottom, i want the container to fit. If the content in the container is too much (99% of the time it will be), then vertical scroll bar will display.
I have tried all kinds of combination of width/height: 100%. But that just seems to make the areas big enough to fit the content, not constrain to a 100% of the browser.
I can set the div to "Height: 200%; Overflow: Scroll" to get the scroll bars. But I just don't seem to be able to get the div to expand only to the available space.
First I want to have the web page expand or contract to fit in the browser window.
This can be achieved by setting the margin left and right to auto. Try this -
.center {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
float: none;
}
The answer is: There really isnt a good answer. Resorting to java script resize event to set the hight of the box based on screen room - heights of screen elements.
So I'm aware that this is a confusing question. Basically, I've got two divs at the top of the page that include navigation and a search bar.
I have a full container
#containPage
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
}
for the page that is fixed width. This doesn't end until the end, I think, and there are two smaller containers for a layout, both float right and left.
When I resize the page in a browser, the layout at the top moves and changes the positioning, which I don't want to happen.
Any ideas?
here is the link: it's being even screwier right now and has the navigation links way to the right, so maybe someone could help with that too.

Resizing horizontally in Chrome and Firefox for Mac. If you scroll to the right, I'm supposed to have a nav bar underneath the search page with home, about, news, and contact. Last I checked- and I'm clearing the cache - it was waaay off on the left along with the footer.
Working on an image. I need reputation 10 to put one in. I've got it though.
You have this odd construct in your CSS:
#containPage { /*page I am in you*/
width:223%;
margin:0 auto;
}
The margin setting is fine and sensible but the width is rather, um, strange. The #containPage element is, essentially, the entire page so it is naturally as wide as the browser window, then the 223% is applied and the page itself becomes more than twice as wide as the browser window. Then, all the block elements that are immediate children of #containPage will be over twice as wide as the window unless you specify or imply a width in some other way.
In particular, the #NavRRT element will be too wide and the menu inside #NavRRT will float to the right all the way out of the window and you'll have to scroll horizontally to see it. Similar positioning strangeness happens with #footer.
Start by getting rid of the width:223% on #containPage. The page looks fine in Safari and Chrome if I turn off just that single piece of CSS.
UPDATE: You might want to add another <div> inside #containPage, then add max-width, min-width, and margin: 0 auto to that to keep the main content centered and reasonably sized. Everything that is currently inside #containPage would go inside this new <div>. If you go with this approach then you probably won't need any CSS at all on #containPage, it would just need to be around to help center the "real" page.
You have to remove the margin-left from your nav LIs (it's inherited from li) and remove their widths.
#nav li { margin-left: 0; width: auto !important; }
I am trying to create a CSS layout where the page looks like it's in the middle of the forest. There is a left and right div with the background trees, some header divs that show the top of the page with various wildlife, and some footer divs that show the bottom with more wildlife that matches up with the left and right div background images, all of which is positioned using "position: fixed" in CSS.
Then there is content in the middle that is positioned normally and scrollable. That all works fine.
The problem I'm having is that the background forest layout is fixed at 1204x768 but of course some web browser windows may not be that large. Unfortunately while the content will scroll as intended, the fixed position elements will never be shown if they are outside the size of the browser window. Clearly not acceptable.
I've tried setting overflow: scroll and height: 768 on the .body and .html elements in the stylesheet but no luck.
Note that I am positioning everything with top: and left: values in the CSS. I know I could get around this by using bottom: and right: but the problem is that the footer images wouldn't line up.
This may just not be possible in which case I'll have to rework the graphic design, but if it is possible I'd love to know how!
of course some web browser windows may not be that large
Or indeed that small! The likelihood of the browser window actually being exactly the right size to put your decorations on the edges is quite small; that's always the problem with fixed layout.
I know I could get around this by using bottom: and right: but the problem is that the footer images wouldn't line up.
Yes, designing images that can alter their joins in response to page size changes is more work, but it's doable. You would have to export the ‘bird+foliage’ layer and the ‘squirrel+foliage’ layer as standalone transparent images, then lay them over the top of a longer side image.
To make the object edges nice and smooth would require PNG's 8-bit transparency, which would necessitate a PNG-rendering hack for IE6. Not the end of the world though.
Unfortunately while the content will scroll as intended, the fixed position elements will never be shown
Is that a problem? They are only decorational in nature.
I've tried setting overflow: scroll and height: 768 on the .body and .html elements
For this approach you would need to set ‘overflow: auto; height: 768px;’ on a wrapper <div> which holds both your #sidebar-left and your #content.
You could have two pictures: 1) a right that contains the right trees and the bottom footer image and 2) and left image with the left trees. Make the bottom footer much wider than it needs to be and the trees (left and right) much taller than they need to be.
Then set the right picture to bottom: and right: and set the left picture to bottom: left:. This will force the pictures to always be on the outsides of the page, no matter the browser size. Then set the z-index of the right picture to be just behind the left picture. It will then always look like the page will be bordered. Or you can set a firm width and height on the parent container, and they will always be on the border of the container. You can also set a min-width and -height if you need to have a certain minimum sizes.
As for things not being visible at a certain resolution, you're really not going to get around this. You could have two sets of pictures, one for normal resolutions, and one for smaller resolutions. Then you can get the width and height of the browser with $(window).height() and $(window).width() with jQuery, and load the appropriate pictures.
EDIT: After looking at your site, i'm pretty sure the second part of that (setting a fixed width for a container, then putting a bottom right picture and bottom left picture) will work for what you want. That will force the page to be a certain width, and thus have the entire border visible.
