I have a header at the top that holds the following css rule:
position: fixed;
I also have some images that hold (and need to hold) the following css rule:
position: relative;
The problem is that my header always sits at the top of the page as the user scrolls, but when they get to the image (with position:relative) this sits on top of my header. But the header should always be on top. Is there another css rule I can apply to allow this to happen?
That problem might be with z-index. Give your header z-index:999999999 and your problem will be solved.
There is no need to set position as relative or absolute. You can use the following code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Edit</title>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.wrap {
width: 100%;
height: 1500px;
background-color: #DDD;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background-color: #004080;
position: fixed;
}
.imgdiv {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
float: left;
background-color: green;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="imgdiv"><img src="error1.png" width="400" height="400"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In your header CSS add z-index property:
with:
z-index:10 // can be any number but should be greater than the z-index of image
in image CSS add:
z-index:5; //should be less than the z-index of header
Just set in CSS z-index: 9999 to the header div.

I am trying to make a layout where the navigation sits in a div on top of an image. Im using z-index to do this. I tried making the image a background image but I couldnt get it to scale properly when changing the size of the browser window.
The z-index seems to be working properly but now my div that would contain the nav no longer floats right.
Anyway to fix this?
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
body{
}
#container{
width: 100%;
height: 1000px;
background-color: yellow;
position: relative;
}
#blue{
margin-top: 20%;
width: 50%;
height: 10%;
background-color: blue;
float: right;
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
}
#test_image{
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 5;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<img id="test_image" src="http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag265/arsinek1/web_development/test_zpsfbvzo3ij.jpg">
<div id="blue"></div>
</div>
</body>
since you use position:fixed; instead of float:right; use:
right: 0;
To make your image responsive the easiest way is to set it do the desired element as a background-image using:
background: url(yourBGimage.jpg) 50% / cover;
Not sure why you use overly the fixed but here's just an example to reflect the above lines (and without the z-index stuff): jsBin demo
For the background as an image approach did you tried?
background-size: cover;
I've a html structure like:-
<body>
<div class="header">header</div>
<div class="content">
hello
</div>
<div class="footer">footer</div>
</body>
And the applied style on it are:-
<style>
body {
padding: 0px !important;
margin: 0px !important;
}
.header {
height: 30px;
background: gray;
}
.footer {
height: 30px;
background: green;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.content{
background: yellow;
}
</style>
What I want is, the content div's height will be equal to the full height of the window except the header & footer part. Currently I'm just seeing a small yellow strip for the content part, as the text within it very minimal, the rest of the page is white. I want, the content div will occupy that place. I tried to use height : 100%; in the content div, but it didn't work. please help.
Try to modify your content class like:-
.content{
background: yellow;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 30px;
bottom: 30px;
}
The top and bottom is 30px as the height of header and footer is 30px. it'll work for you.
Try making a div class="wrapper" that surrounds your div class="content"... In the css give the .wrapper 100% width and height. I hope that helps.
div.footer {
position: absolute;
background: silver;
height: 200px;
bottom: 0;
}
I've sticked my footer to the bottom of the page, but if the content is long it is covered by this footer, how to avoid that?
You can add a margin to the bottom of the content area the same as the height of the footer.
Take a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/X3B4c/2/
HTML:
<div id="content">
<!-- many lines -->
</div>
<div id="footer">© 2014 SomeCompany Inc.</div>
CSS:
#content {
height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 30px; /*same as #footer's height*/
background: #555;
}
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
background: #999;
}
The reason for that maybe because you have position set to absolute.
Could you link the full coding of html and css?
Here is something which might help.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<header></header>
<section></section>
<nav></nav>
<aside></aside>
<footer></footer>
</body>
Just think of this as a 3D object and your footer is coming infront of your elements or body. Use this structure. :)
one thing You can do is rather then using position:absolute use position:fixed this will stick at that points.
Hope that helps
change the position: absolute to position: fixed
DEMO
div.footer {
position: fixed;
background: silver;
height: 200px;
bottom: 0;
}
Like this
demo
css
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.footer {
position: fixed;
background: silver;
height: 200px;
bottom: 0;
width:100%;
}
use the z—index property
img. {position:absolute; top:0; z-indez:-1;}
I would like to have a html/css layout, which has a div#header and div#body as direct children of body tag. I want div#body to fill the remaining space and I do not want to use JavaScript. I know it is possible if you know the exact height of the div#header. But i do not want to fix that.
example with fixed div#header
<head>
<style>
html, body {
position: relative;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
div {
width: 100%;
}
#header {
position: relative;
<!-- i want to remove height because i want the header to size itself
dependent on it's content -->
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
#body {
<!-- I want to make the body position relative and set top to 0
but that does not work as expected.-->
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
margin: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: green;
height: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">header</div>
<div id="body">body</div>
</body>
Please let me know if there is any alternative which uses divs and css.
Many thanks in advance!
You can set the min-height of the body div to 100% to stretch out the body div (I've changed the body bg color to make it more obvious).
However, I'm not 100% clear on your second requirement (<!-- I want to make the body position relative and set top to 0 but that does not work as expected.-->)
Fiddle here
Here is the updated answer: what i have done is to make the parent html and body to display as a table and other divs to have properties of table row and this css will make them capture the whole screen area.
Now i have given the header height of auto.
and
#body is inheriting the other space.
Try this: http://jsbin.com/ezozeb/5/edit
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display:table;
}
#header {
background-color: red;
display:table-row;
height:auto;
}
#body {
background-color: green;
display:table-row;
height:inherit;
}
First of all, delete the height and width of the body element.
You can use page wrappers to make that happen:
#PageWrapper
{
width: 844px;
background-color: ##4628C4;
margin: auto;
}
#PageContentWrapper
{
width: 659px;
float: left;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
min-height: 500px;
padding: 10px;
}
The pagecontentwrapper sets the minimum height to 500px.
In html you can then assign these identifiers to the body and divs
<html>
<head>
<link...>
</head>
<body id="PageWrapper">
<div id="PageContentWrapper">
Content of the body
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you want to make a div scrollable, you should define a height and/or width and add this to the css:
overflow-x:auto; <!--horizontal-->
overflow-y:auto; <!--vertical-->
For example, if you set the pagewrappers height to 1000 (not the min-heigt) and overflow-y: auto; then the scrollbars will appear when content get out of bounds.
If you want to make the header always on top, you should apply something like this:
#PageWrapper
{
width: 844px;
background-color: ##4628C4;
margin: auto;
}
#Header
{
background-color:#aaaaaa;
width: 844px;
height: 240px;
}
#PageContentWrapper
{
width: 659px;
height: 700px;
overflow-y: auto;
float: left;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
padding: 10px;
}
and in html
<html>
<head>
<link...>
</head>
<body id="PageWrapper">
<div id=Header>
Headertext
</div>
<div id="PageContentWrapper">
Content of the body
</div>
</body>
</html>
Im trying to get a footer to stick to the bottom of my webpage but it floats only half way up. I've looked at a few examples and I cant see what im doing wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My simplified code is shown below.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "wrapper">
<!--Wrapper div for the main content-->
</div>
<!--Footer container-->
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
--CSS--
body
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
background-color: #1A1F2B;
min-width: 960px;
}
#wrapper{
min-height: 100%;
}
.footer{
position: relative;
margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */
height: 150px;
clear:both;
display: block;
background-color: #232A3B;
}
If you want it to be at the bottom of the document:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
If you want it to be at the bottom of the viewport:
.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
If you'd like the footer div to be on the bottom of the page and span the entire width this would work:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
height: 150px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #232A3B;
}
HTML5 also supports the <footer> Tag which may make it easier for bots to process the information on your webpage. To change that just use footer { instead of .footer { and change the HTML markup.
