getting the height from the width value through css - html

Is there any way to get width value in px which is in percentage and apply to that another element?
first of all take a look at my code
<div class="col-md-6 height-half">
.........
</div>
col-md-6 means its width is 50%;its not in pixel.And the added height-half means i want to apply max-height half of the width.
Can i do that only with css?
This portion is not important just for posting question
So i also can do some more works done with that.Such like height-one-fourth,height-one-third and something like that

I might be understanding incorrectly. But try using the :before pseudo element to dictate the height.
You already have the width taken care of with .col-md-6. So with using :before on .height-half you should be all set:
.height-half:before {
content:"";
display:block;
padding-top:50%;
}
This will make your div have a height equal to 50% of your width. The only caveat is that you will need to make a container div that is positioned absolutely inside of this div:
<div class="col-md-6 height-half">
<div class="container">
.........
</div>
</div>
So the CSS has to do this for all of the containers you want to use this way:
.container {
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}
You also need to make all of your columns position:relative or some kind of position so that the container sees that it's being positioned absolutely to it's container.

How to align two elements in the same line,without overlap

I want to align two elements,in the same line,like this: click here
full code
<div id="element1"> element 1 markup </div>
<div id="element2"> element 2 markup </div>
css
#element1 {
display:inline-block;
margin-right:10px;
width:200px;
background-color:red;
}
#element2 {
display:inline-block;
width:200px;
background-color:red;
}
Also,without overlapping each other.For example if a have a parent div,and two child divs.
The parent div,have 1000px width,and the childs have 500px each,so they fit.
But if i resize the first div to 600px,i want the second one to auto resize,and keep staying inline,without changing his position,or the first to overlap the second.
In the fiddle above,they are aligned in the same line,but doesnt matter what i do,the second one changes his position instead resizing,or they overlap each other.
Any idea?
I know it must be done with percentage,but is not working either
http://jsfiddle.net/a4aME/507/
#element1 {width:50%; background-color:red;float:left}
#element2 {width:50%; background-color:red;float:left}
Take off the the display: and float it all left.
The width attribute accepts percentage value, base on its parent (or its nearest parent with the position:relative attribute if the element has the property position set as "absolute" or "fixed").
So you can use this CSS to the child
#element1 {display:inline-block;margin-right:10px; width:50%; background-color:red;}
#element2 {display:inline-block; width:50%; background-color:red;}
PS: If you are using inline-block, you have to make sure that there is no space between the tags, so you HTML must became this
<div id="element1"> element 1 markup
</div><div id="element2">
element 2 markup </div>
Check this jsfiddle to see if it is what you wanted. I'm not using display:inline-block since it looks that it is what's causing the problem. If you don't mind using floats, then this is your answer.

Two Stacked divs and controlling heights

I am trying to stack two divs A and B.
Div A - will be scrollable but its height needs to be determined by the div underneath it, Div B so if the content in Div B changes, and it's height changes the height of Div A also changes.
Div B - needs to be aligned to the bottom of page on top of a absolute positioned footer. Its content needs to be aligned to the bottom.
I've tried using position relative and float by wrapping these divs in a wrapper, but the whole thing breaks when I try to keep the Div B aligned or positioned absolutely above the footer.
I've got a feeling this needs to go back to basics, any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Here's a basic example. I think I have correctly understood your requirement. This example has them appear to be stacked but in the HTML they are not actually stacked, they are nested. I wasn't sure if you could allow that in your solution but fingers crossed.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jyR2A/1/
CSS:
#divA {overflow-y:scroll;position:absolute;height:100%;top:-100%;background:green;width:100%;}
#divB {position:absolute;bottom:0;background:blue;width:100%;color:white;}
HTML:
<div id="divB">
<!-- Div A is nested so we can use divB's height -->
<div id="divA">
</div>
<!-- Div B content -->
<div id="divBinnerContent">
Line 1 <br />
Line 2 <br />
..Keep adding more lines to test how it works <br />
</div>
</div>
How it works:
divB is the parent element defining the height of divA. So if we set divB position relative or absolute and place divA inside then we can set divA's height to 100% to give it the height of parent element divB.
Now to position divA we make sure it has position:absolute and set top:-100% which will move it up the same distance as the height of its container divB. Position absolute not only allows us to position it correctly but it also removes it from affecting the height of its parent, divB.
And the content for divB I have made a nice container for it but it is not neccessary. Simply put it anywhere inside divB (but not inside divA) and it will be OK.
You can use the content to define the height,as I have, or use an absolute height set in CSS.
Hope this is what you were after.

I managed to achieve this with help from this question and fiddle.
Stack div elements in css vertically (with dynamic height)
http://jsfiddle.net/nCrEc/334/
Essentially the answer was giving my Div A a height without using the height parameter but instead using absolute positioning on top and bottom. Which meant changes to Div B changed the location of the Div A's bottom (oo er) which pushed the middle div up whenever another populates the bottom area.
<div class="con">
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="middle"></div>
<div class="bottom"></div>
</div>
then using this CSS
.con {
width:200px;
top:50px;
bottom:0;
left:0;
position:absolute;
background:#ff0;
}
.top {
width:200px;
height:20px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
background:#f60;
}
.bottom {
width:200px;
height:50px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
background:#f60;
}
.middle {
overflow-y:auto;
min-height:1px;
position:absolute;
bottom:50px;
top:20px;
left:0;
background:#06f;
}

make div change position when other div does

I am trying to understand css positioning.
What I am trying to accomplish is : I want that when I set a div position , div's after it, change position respect of the first div moved ,without overlapping them.
Let's make an example :
HTML
<div class="wrap">
<div class="box1">
</div>
<div class="box2">
</div>
<div class="box3">
</div>
</div>
CSS
.wrap{
position: absolute;
background-color:yellow;
width:500px;
height:600px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.box1,.box2,.box3{
position: relative;
width:450px;
height:150px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.box1{background-color:red; top: 100px;}
.box2{background-color:green;}
.box3{background-color:blue;}
Now , when I set , e.g top:100px on box1 , it goes 100px from the top, but box2 and box3 still remains there. I want that when i set top position on one of the div they "suffer" the change of the set position , and not overlap or get overlapped by other divs
I tried, as you can see, with position: relative but It did not reach my goal.
Sorry if I explained it better , it's hard to me to explain it in English.
top property (as left, right and bottom) is used to positioning absolute elements only.
giving this property to the element probably gives it absolute behavior.
to position a relative element you should use margin-top instead.
HERE is a working fiddle
Use margin-top instead of top. Top/Bottom/Left/Right changes the position from where it would normally be, and therefore it doesn't affect the rest. Margins will affect the rest too.
http://jsfiddle.net/eux4C/3/
.box1{background-color:red; margin-top: 100px;}
The css top property can be used only on elements with position absolute (as talked in chat :-).
For a relative positioned element you should use margin-top property like:
.box1 {background-color:red; margin-top: 100px;}
Here is a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/IrvinDominin/eux4C/4/
It sounds like you really want to preserve the standard box model, rather than ignoring it.
Don't set a position: relative, and use padding
-top or margin-top to add the extra space.

Assigning CSS width to a position:fixed element

I'd like a fixed element's width to match that of the div placed immediately below it. Imagine a header and a main content div. A problem in matching their widths occurs when the header and content divs are nested inside an outer div. In this scenario the % widths of each no longer match their parents width (e.g.,<body> tag) and the fixed element's width is based on something which is confusing me.
To better explain what I mean, contrast these two js fiddles:
http://jsfiddle.net/2dudX/4/
vs.
http://jsfiddle.net/2dudX/10/
here's the code for each:
<div id="fixed"></div>
<div id="content"></div>​
#fixed{ position:fixed; z-index:2; width:90%;
height:25px; background:yellow;}
#content{ width:90%; height:300px; background:red}
vs.
<div id="main">
<div id="fixed"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div >
#main{ width:95%}
#fixed{ position:fixed; z-index:2; width:90%;
height:25px; background:yellow;}
#content{ width:90%; height:300px; background:red}
Note only in jsfiddle #1 do the yellow and red divs widths match up regardless of how you resize the browser. Unfortunately, jsfiddle#2 is more of a real world scenario and I'm wondering how to correct the id="fixed" div such that its width also matches up with id="content" div.
Thoughts?
You can to it this way FIDDLE (to set % relative to the #main)
fixed element's dimensions always is calculated relative to the root element, so you need to reset %-unit accordingly
in this particular case you need to set:
#fixed {
width: 85.5%;
}
It is case #main is 95%, your static element is 90% relative to the main. So you need to calculate its width towards the root element (1 * .95 * .9 = .855)
Easy one my friend. Fixed width elements are yanked from their parents and are now relative in width to the window, so in both situations the fixed div is always relative to the size of the window, but when in a parent container with a width other than 100% the fixed element will remain relative to the window width but the non-fixed position element is now relative to the parent width. So the non-fixed element became 90% of the 95% of the window while the fixed element remained a constant 90% of the window only.
Edit:
If you wish to match the widths you can use jquery like this:
$(function(){
$('#fixed').width($('#content').outerWidth());
});

How to adjust relative div height with respect to inner absolute height?

For example: http://jsfiddle.net/MYvYy/182/
I have a lot of 'inner_box' elements inside of 'outer_box'. Inner_box elements a absolute.
I would like to adjust the outer_box height so that all inner_box elements fit in the outer_box.
I know it can be done with js. But I don't really like adjusting style with scripts.
So I was wondering if it is possible to be done using CSS?
I have some workaround for this problem, it may not fit your situation but consider looking at it.
First of all we need to duplicate all absolute positioned div which you want to make the parent extend to its height.
So your HTML will look like this.
<div class="outer_box">
<div class="inner_box">1</div>
<div class="inner_box ghost">1</div>
</div>
Then we need to add the "ghost div" CSS like so:
.inner_box.ghost{
visibility: hidden;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: relative;
}
It's not possible with CSS alone.
Layout flow:
An element with position:absolute is outside of the layout flow of the rest of the page. As far as the relative parent is concerned, the absolute child occupies no space in the layout.
This is very useful if you need to have a pop-up or a nav menu nested inside a container, because it won't affect the layout of the container. That's the sort of use case that position:absolute is well-suited for.
Fixed height:
If you need absolute content to behave as if it's a part of the layout flow, use fixed height. Give the relative parent and the absolute child a fixed height, and avoid placing any variable-height child elements before the absolute child. If variable-height content does precede it, use a relative placeholder div with a fixed height at the location where the absolute child needs to appear.
If position:absolute has to be used and fixed height is not an option, use JavaScript.
I only can provide you with Javscript fix for this using jQuery lib.
let me know if you use it or not,
$('.outer_box').height($('.inner_box').outerHeight());
This line will fix the outer_box height
I have tried the Fixed height method, but on small screens it is overlapping. So I have solved this problem by setting overlay background layer to seperate division and content to another division.
<div style="position:relative; background-color: blue; background-image:url('banner.png'); background-size:cover; background-position: center top;">
<div style="position:absolute; top:0; bottom:0; left:0; right:0; z-index:1; background-color:#00000099;"></div>
<div style="position:relative;z-index:2;"><h1 style="color:#fff;">Hello</h1></div>
</div>
I have uploaded the code on Codepen: https://codepen.io/shahbaz8x/pen/GRjEBze
I fixed it by changing the position property of div.inner_box into
position:relative
if this is not what you'r looking for, or this didn't fix it, then you will have to use Javascript.
