First question so sorry if this is a bit squiffy.
I'm trying to get a full (100%) width fixed header with content within, such as logo and navigation links, that is aligned to the main container. I'd like to do this without the use of margining left or right on the logo/nav content as that doesn't seem particularly flexible.
I tried putting the header div within the container block, that fixes the alignment issue but then I can no longer go full width.
So basically how do I get content in a full width fixed header to align with content in the main content of the page?
Here is my html (sorry if its messy, I've only been at this a week or so):
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
</div>
<div id="nav">
</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
Here is my CSS, I left the logo image out and in place is just a beige block:
body {
margin: 0px;
background-color: darkgray;
}
#header{
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
background-image: url("images/bg-header.jpg");
opacity: 0.9;
}
#logo {
height: 100%;
width: 300px;
background-color: beige;
}
#container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0px auto;
height: 1000px;
background-color:gray;
}
#footer{
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-image: url("images/bg-header.jpg");
}
Any advice?
Thank-you
Add an inner wrapper to your header HTML
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="header_inner"><!-- inner div -->
<div id="logo">
</div>
<div id="nav">
</div>
</div><!-- end inner div-->
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
Then add the same width styling as your container to the wrapper:
#header_inner{
width: 960px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Then the main content and your header content will align.
Some side notes:
classes are always better than IDs for styling
fixed width are generally not a great idea if you're going for a responsive solution
For Fixed Header or Footer you can use
.header_class {
width: 100vw;
float: left;
position: fixed !important;
top: 0px;
background: url: ('images/img.png') no-repeat;
height: 100%;
}
another better suggestion you can follow facebook header css means upper blue section css (css class name: .fixed_elem, .fixed_always)
I had a little trouble understanding what exactly you were looking to do so I made this example which shows a full page with header and one contained within the middle content area. The main problem I saw was that when you do things like width:100% it doesnt do 100% it is allowed.. but the full width of the parent element. You can use width:inherit to get the max width allowed. Here is the example with a full white header width and one contained using black. Its all in how you structure the parent child DOM relationship structure
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>body {margin: 0px;background-color: darkgray;}
header{background-color: white;height:100px;width:100%;}
#header{width: inherit;height: 100px;position: fixed;top: 0px;background-image:url("images/bg-header.jpg");opacity: 0.9;background-color: black;}
#logo {height: 100%;width: 300px;background-color: beige;}
#container {width: 960px;margin: 0px auto;height: 1000px;background-color:gray;}
#footer{width: 100%;height: 100px;background-image: url("images/bg-header.jpg");}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header><div></div></header>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="nav"></div>
</div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The easiest solution is to add a container inside the #header. Create a class .container that has the properties shared by the #container and this container. Also make sure that the container inside the #header gets 100% height.
.container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header .container {
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
background-color: darkgray;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
background-image: url("http://placehold.it/100x100");
opacity: 0.9;
}
#logo {
height: 100%;
width: 300px;
background-color: beige;
}
#container {
height: 1000px;
background-color: gray;
}
#footer {
height: 100px;
background-image: url("http://placehold.it/100x100");
}
.container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header .container {
height: 100%;
}
<div id="header">
<div class="container">
<div id="logo">
</div>
<div id="nav">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="container" class="container">
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
Basically you want to have a full width 100px header and footer which are fixed to top 0 and bottom 0. but at the same time you want the content to not exactly roll under the header and footer. I hope I understood the question here.
To achieve that obviously give position fixed to header and footer but now to get your content aligned right, you have to give a margin of the height of header and footer ( 100px)
Here is the code snippet... I have added different colors and some filler content to see the difference.
body {
margin: 0px;
background-color: darkgray;
}
#header,
#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
background: blue;
opacity: 0.5;
text-align: center;
color: red;
}
#header {
top: 0;
}
#footer {
bottom: 0;
}
#logo {
height: 100%;
width: 300px;
background-color: beige;
float: left;
}
#nav {
height: 100%;
width: 450px;
background: cyan;
opacity: 0.5;
float: right;
}
#container {
width: 960px;
margin: 100px auto;
height: 1000px;
background-color: orange;
}
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">logo</div>
<div id="nav">nav</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>content
<br>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">footer</div>
Hope this was what you were looking for.
I've had this problem many times before, where you want full width images, but they're in containers at a fixed width. At any rate there's a few things you can do here. You can add a container class to every section you want in a container; You put a mini-container in divs you want to break the rules, (this also requires taking said div / #header out of the main #container)
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
background-image: url("images/bg-header.jpg");
opacity: 0.9;
}
Than put a div inside of that called content, and set content up like this.
.content {
width: 960px;
margin:0 auto;
display:block;
}
So your markup/html should look like
<div id="header">
<div class="content">
<ul>
<li><a>Home</a></li>
<li><a>Other</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
There are more options, but these seem to make sense for this issue.
Hope This Helps,

I've been testing my site on multiple devices, and when testing on a screen with high resolution there is all this extra white space underneath the footer.
How do I make the height dynamic, fixing this issue?
My HTML is as follows:
<div class="contact">
<div class="content--container">
........
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="columns is-multiline">
<div class="column is-12">
.......
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
......
</div>
A quick and easy fix would be to add a min-height to your .contact element.
Assuming it sits directly insider your body element, and if your footer height is 200px, you could do:
.contact {
min-height: calc(100% - 200px);
}
This does require that your body is either position:static; (the default) or has a min-height of 100%.
Add a min-height to your body like this:
body {
min-height: 100%;
}
Change your footer position to absolute like this:
.footer {
position: absolute;
}
Position and add width to your footer like this:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
width: 100%;
}
Try to add these for CSS (it's from http://mystrd.at/modern-clean-css-sticky-footer/):
html {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0 0 100px; /* bottom = footer height */
}
footer {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
HTML template for that is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<nav></nav>
<article>Lorem ipsum...</article>
<footer></footer>
</body>
</html>
Next option is to use flexbox like these example: https://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/demos/sticky-footer/
In these example body has class="Site" and content also have a class called class="Site-content" and looks like these:
<body class="Site">
<header>Your header</header>
<main class="Site-content">
<div> Text </div>
</main>
</body>
CSS for these example looks like:
.Site {
display: flex;
min-height: 100vh;
flex-direction: column;
}
.Site-content {
flex: 1;
}
Full source for the Site component used in this example you can find here: https://github.com/philipwalton/solved-by-flexbox/blob/master/assets/css/components/site.css
Another easy way to make a footer look like it has a dynamic height (if a tall footer height doesn't matter to you) is by changing the body's background-color to match the footer's. Then you can give one of your containers a 100% width and apply a different background-color.
That gives you the visual separation of the content and the footer without having to position or resize the footer.
Heres's the CSS:
body {
background-color: tomato;
height: 100%;
}
header {
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
.container {
background-color: white;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
width: 100%;
}
footer {
background-color: tomato;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
and the HTML:
<header>
<h1>This is my header</h1>
</header>
<div class="container">
<p>This is my content</p>
</div>
<footer>
<p> this is my footer that looks like it has a variable height.</p>
</footer>
Link to a working example:
http://codepen.io/Brydave/pen/dNQJMb
Having the following:
<div class="big-container">
<div class="header">many things here that must be fixed on top of the page</div>
<div class="content">
<img src="image"/> <!--Must expand the content div to the size of the image -->
<div class="footer"> Must be inside the image but at the bottom</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- .content and .header must be at the same top, .content is much higher than header-->
I was trying with relative and absolute but the page being responsive, i can not set the height of the .content
What is the css?
You can not just ask for code without even given a try. check below code. it might be helpful.
.header{
background:red;
width:100%;
position:fixed;
top:0;
}
.content{
margin-top: 30px;
position: relative;
min-width: 300px;
max-width: 500px;
}
.content img{
position: relative;
height: 300px;
width: 100%;
}
.content .footer{
background: gray;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0px;
}
<div class="big-container">
<div class="header">many things here that must be fixed on top of the page</div>
<div class="content">
<img src="http://r.ddmcdn.com/s_f/o_1/cx_633/cy_0/cw_1725/ch_1725/w_720/APL/uploads/2014/11/too-cute-doggone-it-video-playlist.jpg"/> <!--Must expand the content div to the size of the image -->
<div class="footer"> Must be inside the image but at the bottom</div>
</div>

I'm trying to figure out how to best implement a sidebar, like the one in the new google plus
I'm using MaterializeCSS
where the "main" content of the page it's width decreases when the sidebar is open and it becomes the fullpage width when the sidebar is closed.
I'm trying to do this with the ui-router.
This is my current setup:
<header>
<div ui-view="header"></div>
</header>
<main ui-view="container"></main>
<footer>
<div ui-view="footer"></div>
</footer>
and each element has it's corresponding controller.
I was thinking of creating a new controller for the sidebar.
But I can't seem to make this work like I want:
this is what I tried:
<main>
<div class="navigation" ng-hide="shownav"><span class="flow-text">This div is 7-columns wide on pushed to the right by 5-columns.</span></div>
<div class="content" ui-view="container"></div>
</main>
css:
main {
width: 100%
}
.navigation {
width: 20%;
float: left;
}
.content {
min-width: 80%;
float: left;
}
Work with float:right and float:left, then position the footer using position: absolute with the parameters like bottom:0 and left:0to position on the bottom and left of the page, setting a width that I want.
Then mark the divs with background-colors and text to see exactly whats happening when I'm coding.
All your content wrapped inside the <main>, because it's where it's gonna the left bar and the content.
I'm sorry if I couldn't explain better
main {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
.navigation {
width: 20%;
float: left;
background: black;
color: white;
height: 100px;
}
.content {
width: 80%;
float: right;
background: red;
color: white;
height: 100px;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
background-color: green;
color: white;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
<header>
<div ui-view="header"></div>
</header>
<main ui-view="container">
<main>
<div class="navigation" ng-hide="shownav"><span class="flow-text">This div is 7-columns wide on pushed to the right by 5-columns.</span>
</div>
<div class="content" ui-view="container">aaaaaa</div>
</main>
</main>
<footer>
<div ui-view="footer"></div>
</footer>
I have a fairly complex layout that I am building, it relies on a is affected by height, and min-height's so the usual tricks to position the footer at the bottom aren't working.
Given my JSFiddle how can I position the footer at the bottom when the content is a lot or minimal?
Here is some of the css I am currently using:
body, html, #wrapper {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
.header {
height: 30%;
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.main {
background-color: antiquewhite;
}
.main .content {
height: 2000px;
background-color: aquamarine;
padding-bottom:80px;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 80px;
background-color: beige;
}
If I understand your requirement correctly, you want the footer to sit at the bottom of the content box.
One solution is to make the content box position:relative and move the footer inside it, so that its position:absolute will bind it to the content box, and the bottom:0 will achieve the desired effect of having it sit against the bottom of said content box.
See http://jsfiddle.net/wn6uvske/5/.
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="body-content">
<div class="header">
<div class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Toggle Menu
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="main">
<div class="content container">
<p>Content</p>
<div class="footer"> <!-- moved up into content container -->
<p>Footer</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
(relevant) CSS:
.main .content {
height: 2000px;
background-color: aquamarine;
padding-bottom:80px;
position:relative;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 80px;
background-color: beige;
}
you can use the sticky footer trick. Wrap all of your content in a wrapper excluding the footer, set min-height:100% and margin: -(footer height) on said wrapper to keep it at the bottom:
FIDDLE
UPDATE
You can take the header section out and use CSS calc() to adjust the height:
NEW FIDDLE
I'm redesigning a site and the different sections (header, banner image, main, etc.) have a background that stretches all the way across, however the content is contained to a certain width and that box is centered.
However, in the design the "banner image" (which is a image below the header but above the main content) will extend beyond the width of the rest of the content. At first this was easy until a need arose to have text on top of the banner image, and that text would need to line up with the rest of the text.
I cannot use CSS background image because on some pages the banner image area will be a slider, which requires tags.
I have a working solution, but it seems clunky and I was hoping to find a better method: http://jsfiddle.net/PkStg/10/

.header { background: red;}

.main-content { background: yellow; }
.content-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 300px;
}
.banner-text-outer {
position: relative;
}
.banner-text-inner {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
}
.banner-image-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 400px;
min-width: 300px;
font-size: 0;
}
.banner-image-wrapper img {
width: 100%;
}
I know that you wanted to not use background-image, but here is a solution which uses that for anyone else who sees the page.
Perhaps your slider could make use of the background-image?
This should do it:
