Missing div borders - html

I need your help,
It seems that I am having some difficulty with attempting to add a div around a textarea inside a container div as well as a border for the div encompassing my button at the bottom of the container div.
First problem: the right side border is missing
Second problem, the 1px solid red is missing from the inner2 div.
Here is a pic of the problem and the desired result:
Desired result is:
Here is the HTML & CSS in question:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<style type="text/css">
#container {
text-align: center;
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
#summary {
width: 100%;
height:100%;
border: 0;
}
#inner1 {
height: 500px;
}
#inner2 {
border-top: 1px solid red;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id='inner1'><textarea id="summary"></textarea></div>
<div id="inner2"><input type="button" value="Close"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

It's because the textarea element has default padding. Since padding isn't included in an element's width/height calculations, it overflows outside of the parent element because a width of 100% + the border is greater than the parent elements width.
You could either remove this padding, or include the padding in the dimension calculations by adding box-sizing: border-box to the textarea element:
#summary {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

Add overflow: hidden and box-sizing: border-box; like below:
#container {
text-align: center;
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
#summary {
width: 100%;
height:100%;
border: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#inner1 {
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#inner2 {
border-top: 1px solid red;
width: 100%;
}

Set the child's width relative to parent with presence of margin

I want to set the width of a header realtive to conatiner width with taking into account header's margin
div.container {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid red;
position:relative;
}
header{
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid green;
height: 20px;
margin: 10px;
}
<div class="container">
<header></header>
</div>
but header element gets out from the border of container on a few pixels on the right side.
Also tried to add box-sizing: border-box; to header's style, nothing happened. Why?
Set width: calc(100% - 22px);for header. That's 100% minus twice the border (2 * 1px) minus twice the margin (2*10px), adding up to 22px.
div.container {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid red;
position:relative;
}
header{
width: calc(100% - 22px);
border: 1px solid green;
height: 20px;
margin: 10px;
}
<div class="container">
<header></header>
</div>
I sugest instead of using margins on child div - use padding:10px on parent div. I've updated your code snippet.
div.container {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid red;
position:relative;
padding:10px;
}
header{
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid green;
height: 20px;
}
<div class="container">
<header></header>
</div>

How to manage textarea right side overflow in css?

I have to create two <textarea>s in two different <div>s and both are have to come in single line. And both <textarea>s have to occupy 100% width (50% by each) in all types of screen.
However, when I am trying the second <textarea>, the right side is overflowing and even I am not able to manage right margin (in CSS) for <textarea>. How can I avoid right overflow for <textarea>?
.container {
background-color: lightblue;
border: 5px solid black;
min-height: 500px;
}
textarea {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 3px none #cccccc;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
.right {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
<div class='left'>
<textarea>left </textarea>
</div>
<div class='right'>
<textarea>right</textarea>
</div>
Note the change in margin to textarea. That should do it!
.container {
background-color: lightblue;
border: 5px solid black;
min-height: 500px;
}
textarea {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 3px none #cccccc;
margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
.right {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
<div class='left'>
<textarea>left</textarea>
</div>
<div class='right'>
<textarea>right</textarea>
</div>
you have to remove margin from your textarea because margin calculated form the outer width of the element , you can use padding to .conatiner instead.
and add a box-sizing attribute to remove the border width from the calculate width
html,body,.container{
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
.container{
background-color: lightblue;
border: 5px solid black;
padding:10px;
display: table;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
textarea {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 3px none #cccccc;
border: 1px solid black;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.left{
display: table-cell;
width:50%;
height: 100%;
}
.right{
display: table-cell;
width:50%;
height: 100%;
}
<html>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class='left'>
<textarea>left </textarea>
</div>
<div class='right'>
<textarea>right</textarea>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Remove margin from your textarea because margin calculated form the outer width of the element, and give display: table; to container.
Remove margin. Because you are assigning 50% to each left and right textarea. so your total width will be 100%+10px; so it will overflow on x-axis
textarea {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 3px none #cccccc;
border: 1px solid black;
}
You can use iframes for that. If you use iframes you can fit the overflow to hidden both left and right side

How do prevent my div from spilling outside its parent container?

Here is my code taken from the codepen: http://codepen.io/rags4developer/pen/ONoBpm
Please help me to fix these problems.
How do I prevent the the main div & footer from spilling out of the container div ? overflow: hidden for container will not always work !
How do I make the container div height equal to page height without setting its height to a fixed percentage ?
HTML:
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="nav">nav links 1,2,3 etc</div>
<div id="main">
<!--no text here-->
<div id="left">left panel</div>
<div id="right">right panel</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">footer</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
* {box-sizing: border-box;}
html {height: 100%;}
body {height: 100%;}
#container {
border: 8px solid yellow;
height: 100%;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#nav {
border: 4px solid red;
height: 15%;
}
#main {
border: 4px solid black;
height: 100%;
background: gray;
}
#left {
border-top: 4px solid green;
border-left: 4px solid green;
border-bottom: 4px solid green;
float: left;
width: 15%;
height:100%;
/*I will make this gradient later*/
background: #9e9999;
}
#right {
border: 4px solid blue;
float: right;
width: 85%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: 20px 0 0 0;
background: white;
}
#footer {
border: 4px solid pink;
clear: both;
}
I am not completely sure if I understand you correctly, but your heights (i.e. the heights within the #container div) add up to 15% + 100% + the height of the footer = at least 115% of the #container height plus the footer height, which causes the "spilling over".
I changed the #content height to 80% and added height: 5%; to the footer in this fork of your codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/EKeOdm
Now everything remains within the #container. Is this what you want?
The clearfix solution still works well for floated elements, IMO. Try removing the height styles and add this:
#main:before,
#main:after {
display: table;
content: "";
}
#main:after {
clear: both;
}
Further: http://nicolasgallagher.com/micro-clearfix-hack/
Using display table should fix this.
#container {
border: 8px solid yellow;
height: 100%;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
**display: table;**
}
#content {
border: 4px solid black;
background: gray;
height: 100%;/*Not sure 100% of what ? Parent ???*/
**display: table-row;**
}

How to avoid absolute bottom positioned div from overlapping other when window is resized

I have a page where I have a div at the bottom of the page which when clicked shows another div, just above the bottom div.
I'd like to avoid the footer divs overlapping the content div higher up the page when the window is resized.
The heights of the divs involved shouldn't change.
Is a CSS-only solution possible?
I've created a jsfiddle here
CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
border: solid #aaa 1px;
padding: 4px;
}
#content {
height: 300px;
border: solid blue 1px;
}
#footer-content {
height: 100px;
border: solid red 1px;
display:none;
}
#footer-footer {
cursor: pointer;
height: 20px;
border: solid cyan 1px;
}
#footer.expanded #footer-content {
display:block;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="content">content
</div>
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-content">footer-content</div>
<div id="footer-footer">Click me to expand</div>
</div>
</div>
JS
$("#footer-footer").on("click", function (evt) {
$("#footer").toggleClass("expanded");
});
Simply add position: relative to the #container. This way the absolute positioning of the footer refers to the container.
http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/5/
You'll probably notice that in the example above there's always a scrollbar on the right. This is because of the borders and padding on #container. Here's an example with outline (border with no calculated width) and without any padding:
http://jsfiddle.net/5bkznxud/6/
TIP: Always use outline instead of border for blocking a layout OR use box-sizing: border-box. This causes a box' dimensions to also calculate for the border. Otherwise a box with width of 100% and border will span slightly wider than you want.
It can be solved by using calc().
In this case you can create a jQuery function that get the height of footer-content and footer-footer -> .height(). Without jQuery, I don't think it's possible.
Here is an example:
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
border: solid #aaa 1px;
padding: 4px;
min-height: 420px;
}
#content {
height:calc(100% - 135px);
border: solid blue 1px;
}
#footer-content {
height: 100px;
border: solid red 1px;
display:none;
}
#footer-footer {
cursor: pointer;
height: 20px;
border: solid cyan 1px;
}
#footer.expanded #footer-content {
display:block;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}

Adding padding to a textarea pushes the element outside of the div

I can't seem to be able to wrap my mind around this one.
It seems that by adding some padding (padding-left: 3px) to my textarea, and it pushes it right out of my div with the border. Adding some padding for text inside the summary box would be useful as it would be more legible to the user.
Here is the result:
This is what it should look like:
Here is the HTML / CSS markup:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style type="text/css">
.fcontent_text {
font-size: 8.5pt;
text-align: right;
color: rgb(11,63,113);
}
#fcontent_container {
width: 800px;
display: block;
position: relative;
margin: 5px;
}
#fcontent_wrapper {
border: 1px solid rgb(128,128,128);
}
#summary {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
position: relative;
padding-left: 3px;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="fcontent_container">
<div class="fcontent_text">Summary</div>
<div id="fcontent_wrapper"><textarea class="normal" id="summary"></textarea></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Add box-sizing: border-box to #summary so that you can set both width: 100% and left and right padding without the contents spilling over into the container.
box-sizing
border-box
The width and height properties include the padding and border, but not the margin. This is the box model used by Internet Explorer when the document is in Quirks mode.
For cross-browser compatibility, be sure to include prefixes:
#summary {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
position: relative;
padding-left: 3px;
height: 50px;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Using box-sizing
You can use box-sizing: border-box;

Without box-sizing
Change the width of your textarea from width: 100% to width: 795px;
Have a look at http://codepen.io/gopkar/pen/csxKo
width = <div-width> - <padding-you-have-given>
For some odd reason this solution seems to circumvent everything and works flawlessly:
<div style="width: 800px">
<div style="text-align: right;">Expand</div>
<div style="padding-right: 6px;">
<textarea style="width: 100%; padding: 2px; margin: 0; border : solid 1px #999"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
