Width of website not displaying correctly - html

As you can see on this link ( http://riksblog.com/Marnik/index.html ), for some reason the width of the body and website is as it should, but there's a strange, empty space next to my website which makes it wider than it should.
I'm using bootstrap so I'm not really able to use these tricks like media-queries in css for the desktop version.

your looking for the overflow css property try this:
body {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
to completely remove the problem get rid of the right padding on this class:
section.first .section-content {
padding: 150px 15px //remove left/right padding
}

The problem is this css:
section.first .section-content {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
padding: 150px 15px;
text-align: center;
}
which causes the .section-content div to be as wide as its parent plus 30px.
Possible solutions are to add a box-sizing property to the style
box-sizing: border-box;
or change the width so that it doesn't exceed its parent
width: calc(100% - 30px);

Inline css add style issue [duplicate]

I have an html input.
The input has padding: 5px 10px; I want it to be 100% of the parent div's width(which is fluid).
However using width: 100%; causes the input to be 100% + 20px how can I get around this?
Example
box-sizing: border-box is a quick, easy way to fix it:
This will work in all modern browsers, and IE8+.
Here's a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/QkmSk/301/
.content {
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
The browser prefixed versions (-webkit-box-sizing, etc.) are not needed in modern browsers.
This is why we have box-sizing in CSS.
I’ve edited your example, and now it works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Check it out: http://jsfiddle.net/mathias/Bupr3/
All I added was this:
input {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Unfortunately older browsers such as IE7 do not support this. If you’re looking for a solution that works in old IEs, check out the other answers.
Use padding in percentages too and remove from the width:
padding: 5%;
width: 90%;
You can do it without using box-sizing and not clear solutions like width~=99%.
Demo on jsFiddle:
Keep input's padding and border
Add to input negative horizontal margin = border-width + horizontal padding
Add to input's wrapper horizontal padding equal to margin from previous step
HTML markup:
<div class="input_wrap">
<input type="text" />
</div>
CSS:
div {
padding: 6px 10px; /* equal to negative input's margin for mimic normal `div` box-sizing */
}
input {
width: 100%; /* force to expand to container's width */
padding: 5px 10px;
border: none;
margin: 0 -10px; /* negative margin = border-width + horizontal padding */
}
Use css calc()
Super simple and awesome.
input {
width: -moz-calc(100% - 15px);
width: -webkit-calc(100% - 15px);
width: calc(100% - 15px);
}​
As seen here: Div width 100% minus fixed amount of pixels
By webvitaly (https://stackoverflow.com/users/713523/webvitaly)
Original source: http://web-profile.com.ua/css/dev/css-width-100prc-minus-100px/
Just copied this over here, because I almost missed it in the other thread.
Assuming i'm in a container with 15px padding, this is what i always use for the inner part:
width:auto;
right:15px;
left:15px;
That will stretch the inner part to whatever width it should be less the 15px either side.
Here is the recommendation from codeontrack.com, which has good solution examples:
Instead of setting the width of the div to 100%, set it to auto, and be sure, that the <div> is set to display: block (default for <div>).
You can try some positioning tricks. You can put the input in a div with position: relative and a fixed height, then on the input have position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;, and any padding you like.
Live example
Move the input box' padding to a wrapper element.
<style>
div.outer{ background: red; padding: 10px; }
div.inner { border: 1px solid #888; padding: 5px 10px; background: white; }
input { width: 100%; border: none }
</style>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
<input/>
</div>
</div>
See example here: http://jsfiddle.net/L7wYD/1/
Maybe browsers have changed since this question was last answered, but this is the only thing that has ever worked reliably for me to accomplish this:
width: auto;
left: 0;
right: 0;
Then you can make the margins / padding anything you want and the element will not expand past its available width.
This is similar to #andology's answer from way back but if you make left/right both 0 then you can make margin and/or padding whatever you want. So this is always my default div.
Just understand the difference between width:auto; and width:100%;
Width:auto; will (AUTO)MATICALLY calculate the width in order to fit the exact given with of the wrapping div including the padding.
Width 100% expands the width and adds the padding.
What about wrapping it in a container. Container shoud have style like:
{
width:100%;
border: 10px solid transparent;
}
Try this:
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
For me, using margin:15px;padding:10px 0 15px 23px;width:100%, the result was this:
The solution for me was to use width:auto instead of width:100%. My new code was:
margin:15px;padding:10px 0 15px 23px;width:auto. Then the element aligned properly:
You can do this:
width: auto;
padding: 20px;

width 100% on top of body requires scrolling

I want a div to go across the page width no matter the size of one's screen. The problem I'm having is that although the width is 100%, when I view the page it requires scrolling horizontally. I've looked up solutions and tried the suggestions regarding the body element, but I still have this issue. Here are my body and div elements:
body{
background-color: #9F6164;
margin:0px;
margin-top: .6em;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding:0px;
}
#controlpanel {
height:8em;
width:100%;
background-color:#F8DEBD;
padding: 1em;
margin-right: 1em;
border-bottom: 3px groove black;
float:center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
To be clear this is not homework, I'm doing this for a personal project.
Yes, it is 100% width, but the browser also adds 1em of padding to it, so it's now 100% + 1em. You didn't set the box-sizing property and it's content-box by default.
If you want your layout to behave more naturally, add this to your code:
html {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*, *:before, *:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
Check it here: https://jsfiddle.net/avyxhfcp/
BTW: there is no "float: center;"
You can hide the horizontal overflow using overflow-x. You could also use overflow:hidden, but the code below specifically targets horizontal scroll bar.
body {
background-color: #9F6164;
margin:0px;
margin-top: .6em;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding:0px;
overflow-x:hidden; /* hide the horizontal overflow */
}
The solution cosmonot provided is incorrect and will only cause you problems when your div's content stretches off-screen and you can no longer troubleshoot when there are overflow problems because you won't be able to see a scrollbar horizontally.
The real problem is that your div is using width: 100% to occupy the entire horizontal space available, it is then adding on the padding you specified as extra, this results in the overall width being over 100% which breaks out the body element giving overflow and thus making it horizontally scroll able.
The solution is not to alter your body's overflow property, the solution is to apply box-sizing: border-box; to your control panel div. This will make the width you specify include the padding and margin's you specify.
Example
#controlpanel {
height:8em;
width:100%;
background-color:#F8DEBD;
padding: 1em;
margin-right: 1em;
border-bottom: 3px groove black;
float:center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
In future try not to play around with the body, it's usually what you put into it that needs to be troubleshooted.

Make div 100% width with equal margins on both sides of content area

Here's what I'm wanting to do. When the site gets down to medium and small sizes, I want 100% width with margin: 20px all around. I'm trying to not define specific pixels for the width, so that it's consistent across all devices as much as possible. I figured that my CSS would apply the 20px margin to the right side as well as the left, but it's only applying to the left and the right is going outside the window.
Here's my HTML:
<div class="swipe-content">
<div id="your-accounts">
<h1>Your Accounts</h1>
<p>
Your accounts data will go here.
</p>
</div>
</div>
And here's my CSS:
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Sorry to waste anyone's time with this, but it's late and I'm probably missing something really simple. I'm coming back to coding after a couple of years and any help would be appreciated.
In CSS when you specify a width, it usually means the inner-width not the outer-width.
outer-width = inner-width + margin + padding + border
In your case, your div is becoming 100% + 20px (left padding) + 20 px (right padding)
When you add display: block, the div will automatically try to take up as much width as possible.
Sure, in CSS 3 you could take advantage of the box-sizing property as focorner suggested. But to be compatible i would suggest removing width: 100% and adding display: block.
For this to work, you would need an outer div which has 100% width and is display:block
TL;DR
{
display: block;
// width: 100%; remove this
padding: 20px
}
One simple option would be to use:
.swipe-content {
box-sizing: border-box;
...
}
One way you could do this is by creating an outer div that fills the entire page and setting it to have a left and right padding of both 20px.
You could then put a div on the inside that fits 100% of the outer div.
#outer {
padding: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
#inner {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
background-color: grey;
}
Here it is in action: https://jsfiddle.net/SplashHero/cb1xs67u/
you can do like this
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin : 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}

CSS :: footer alignment and overflow issue

In image above you can footer top border is not aligned with the login box.I want to restrict border width equal to login container width.
and also I dont want x axis to scroll as in image.
To solve overflow issue I used,
html {
overflow:hidden !important;
}
But it does not seems promising to me,
I want something like this ,
footer top border should be aligned with red lines
Fiddle
You are using position: absolute; so you need to use left: 0; for the .google-footer-bar
Demo
.google-footer-bar {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0; /* Add this here */
height: 35px;
width: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid #ebebeb;
overflow: hidden;
}
Also, it will be better if you wrap up the elements, say a maximum 1000px in width and than use margin: auto; to center them, having no wrapper element will just spoil your layout. As far as 100% width element goes, you can use width: 100%; for the container and then nest 1000px; of another child element with margin: auto;, this way your layout will be stable.
You might want to start by removing width and min-width and also height and min-height.

Body height 100% displaying vertical scrollbar

Out of curiosity, considering the example below, why does having the margin on the #container div cause a vertical scrollbar to appear in the browser? The container is much smaller in height than the body height which is set to 100%.
I have set the padding and margins to 0 for all elements except the #container. Note that I have deliberately omitted absolute positioning on the #container div. In this case how is the browser calculating the height of the body and how is the margin affecting it?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
* { padding:0; margin:0;}
html, body { height:100%; }
#container
{
padding:10px;
margin:50px;
border:1px solid black;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='container'>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Example also on JSFiddle
If you paint the backgrounds of html and body (giving each its own color), you'll quickly notice that body is being shifted down along with #container, and #container itself isn't offset from the top of body at all. This is a side effect of margin collapse, which I cover in detail here (although that answer describes a slightly different setup).
It's this behavior that's causing the scrollbar to appear, since you've declared body to have 100% the height of html. Note that the actual height of body is unaffected, as margins are never included in height calculations.
Based upon #BoltClock♦'s answer, I fixed it by zeroing the margin...
so
html,body, #st-full-pg {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
works where id "st-full-pg" is assigned to a panel div (which further contained panel-heading and panel-body)
A bit late, but maybe it helps someone.
Adding float: left; to #container removes the scrollbar, as W3C says:
•Margins between a floated box and any other box do not collapse (not even between a float and its in-flow children).
html,body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
This worked for me
adding float:left; is nice, but will interfere with central horizontal positioning using margin:auto;
if you know how big your margin is, you can account for that in your height percentage using calc:
height: calc(100% - 50px);
browser support is good, but only IE11+
https://caniuse.com/#feat=calc
/*removes default margin & padding*/
html, body{
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0px !important;
}
/*sets body height to max; and allows scrollbar as page content grows*/
body{
min-height: 100vh;
}
I have found a solution: add padding: 1px 0; to body prevents vertical scrollbars to appear
For those who are coming here for an easier to understand answer that even includes code samples, this answer (copied from here) is for you.
No JavaScript or definite pixel values (such as 100px) are required, just, pure CSS and percentages.
If your div is just sitting there on its own, height: 50% will mean 50% the height of the body. Normally, the height of the body is zero without any visible content, so 50% of that is just, well, zero.
This is the solution (based on this) (uncomment the background lines to get a visualisation of the padding):
/* Makes <html> take up the full page without requiring content to stretch it to that height. */
html
{
height: 100%;
/* background: green; */
}
body
{
/*
100% the height of <html> minus 1 multiple of the total extra height from the padding of <html>.
This prevents an unnecessary vertical scrollbar from appearing.
*/
height: calc(100% - 1em);
/* background: blue; */
}
/* In most cases it's better to use stylesheets instead of inline-CSS. */
div
{
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background: red;
}
<div></div>
The above was written so that there would still be the usual padding. You could set the dimensions of the red div to 100% and still see padding on each side/end. If you don't want this padding, use this (although it doesn't look nice, I recommend you stick with the first example):
/* Makes <html> take up the full page without requiring content to stretch it to that height. */
html, body
{
height: 100%;
}
/* You can uncomment it but you wouldn't be able to see it anyway. */
/*
html
{
background: green;
}
*/
body
{
margin: 0;
/* background: blue; */
}
/* In most cases it's better to use stylesheets instead of inline-CSS */
div
{
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background: red;
}
<div></div>
I saw this problem fixed before where you put all the contents of body in a div called wrap. Wrap's style should be set to position: relative; min-height: 100%;. To position #container div 50px from the top and left put a div inside wrap with a padding set to 50px. Margins will not work with wrap and the div we just made, but they will work in #container and everything inside it.
here's my fix on jsfiddle.
you can add non-breaking space into the body tag.
<body> <othertags>...</body>
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
If you want to remove the body scrolling add the following style:
body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
Inspired by #BoltClock, I tried this and it worked, even when zoom out and in.
Browser: Chrome 51
html{
height: 100%;
}
body{
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
position: relative;
top: -20px;
}
I guess body was shifted down 20px.
It works for me:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
height: -webkit-fill-available; // Chrome
}
// Firefox
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
body {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 1px;
}
}
Add overflow: hidden; to html and body.
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
I found a quick solution: try set height to 99.99% instead of 100%
