I am trying to create a website which has a sidebar on the right which is fixed to the screen and takes up 100% of the page. I want my container's width set as 100%, filling the remaining space after taking account for whatever the width of my sidebar is. I need the sidebar to remain stationary as the user scrolls down the page. I would like the height of my sidebar to be a percentage based value. How would I go about doing this?
If I were to use "Position: fixed", it would take the sidebar out of flow causing the container to span the whole width of the page, ignoring the width of the sidebar. This causes issues when I try and apply "text-align: center".
Here is a visual representation of what I am trying to achieve:
Just put .body{ margin-right: 80px} (i.e. the size of your sidebar) and then position fixed on your sidebar.

I'm working on a HMI using AngularJS(1.7.8) and Bootstrap in which there is four main panels : the navbar, a small up-left, a big bottom left and a big right one.
The expectation are that the small up-left one can collapse to become smaller and leaving more room for the big bottom left. I was able to do that easily using flexbox. Inside the bottom-left panel there is an area that is supposed to be scrollable when the up-left panel is visible. When it is collapsed the scrollable area is supposed to have enough room to display its content.
That last expectation is what I struggle with. The scroll area is not applying the overflow-y style attribute and its height is the whole content even though it is outside its parent (the bottom-left panel).
So far I tried playing around with flexbox, setting each panel as a flexbox, setting height and various other things but nothing seems to work. Unfortunatelly I do not control the content and won't be able to fix its height. Since it needs to expand, setting a max-height attribute doesn't work.
Here is an example on fiddle.
EDIT :
From #Pablo-Binar comment, it appears flexbox don't work that great with % height attribute. I haven't found anything in the doc unfortunately.
Also from #Pablo-Binar comment, one solution is to set a height in px to the root node giving flex attributes to the child and to the final one (the scrollable one) set an height in percentage (height:100%).
Use this code
height: 100%.
If that's to high use
height: calc(100% - 30px);
That should do the job.
I am trying to get a div to expand to fill its container without causing that container to expand beyond the browser window's width, as in this page. Click "Expand" next to "Stack Trace in the last entry.
What it's supposed to do is show a horizontal scrollbar.
What it's actually doing is expanding beyond the width of the window.
I can get it to sort of work if I give the <div class="stack"> element a max-width in pixels, but I want it to expand to fill no matter how wide the window is, without expanding beyond it.
How can I fix this layout? What's a general way with css to get an element to expand horizontally to fill its container while not going beyond the window's edge?
The Page is back on now!
I cann't get your table stuff sorted. There are some invalid width Parameters.
You should use div-Containers rather then tables to layout your page!
The workaround solution I came up with was adding a max-width to the expand/collapse div. It doesn't really prevent the table being wider than the window, but it solves 95% of the cases.
Don't use tables, use DIV's and for full width use
width: 100%;
This will always use up 100% of the browser window width.
You can provide you outer Div width:100% so it will take browser width. Or else you can calculate browser width with Jquery $(document).width(); and store this in variable and provide to your outer div.
depending on the content in my page how can I get the footer at the bottom ?
In gridview if i select page size above 20 the footer is overlapping on the gridview box.
I tried the CSS property - position:absolute,bottom:0; as well as overflow:auto...
It dint help the footer is remaining in the same place behind the gridview.can someone pls help me
Thanks.
Check this fiddle:
Format your page layout as in the fiddle. set the min-heightof your container div to
total height - (height of header + height of footer)
(in the fiddle header and footer occupy 15% and 10% height respectively. so the content is given
min-height:75%; // 100%- (15%+10%)
so that it'll always occupy that much space even if your actual content is less.
If your content is more the container div will automatically expand and pull down your footer.
if you apply position:absolute your element will be taken out of the normal flow, then the footer won't be pulled down by the content if it expands.
I know this is a common problem and I feel really stupid for not being able to figure it out, but I have a 3 column layout in HTML, and I seriously cannot figure this out for the life of me.
Here is the basic layout of my site:
fixed header,
1 sidebar on each side,
middle area with content.
Here is a mockup of the site that I'm speaking about: http://eitanrosenberg.com/tests/pop/bootstrap/
It looks ok at first, but when the browser is resized, the sidebars get really small and there is a ton of white space. Why is this? Thank you so much in advance.
Look at it this way.
The height:100% of the container div (and the column divs) gets their height from the body-element (100% of that), and the height of the body element is calculated as 100% of the height of the html element
The height of the html element is then (in practice) calculated from the current height of the browser window (100% of that).
So the height of your boxes will all be set to match the heigth of the browser window...
and this is exactly what you see when you shrink the browser window heigth!
Because:
Once your content no longer fits within the height of its container (ie. when you shrink the browser window you also shrink the calculated heights of all your containers and eventually the headroom will be too small) - overflow happens. The content of the "highest" box will then be the first to overflow, and parts of its content will then spill out of it to be visible below the boxes (since you don't use overflow: hidden).
The browser will then allow you to scroll past the bottom of the boxes (so to speak) in order for you to be able to see the content that "overflows the box", but it doesn't adjust the height of container - the boxes will still keep the same height as the browser window while you scroll...
So the background patterns will always be the height of 100% of the browser window in this example (an not match the height of the highest content when the height shrinks below that)...
One way to remedy this - is to adjust the height of the boxes with Javascript (calculate the height of the highest column and set that as an absolute value for height on the container and the boxes - every time the page resizes)
... or you could use "display: table" and "display: table-cell" on the container and the columns respectively as a workaround (overriding the Bootstrap grid CSS) for this particular layout width/media queries...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
Basically, I am looking for a way to center a container that is 1600px within a container that is 940px.
I want the page to stay centered at all times, and the main content of the site is 940px wide. I have an image that is 1600px, and just adding the image forces the image to align left with the 940px container and overflow to the right 660px. See the image below for an example.
What I want is the image to center within the 940px container, and save for adding multiple background images, which really isn't pre IE8 friendly, I am at a loss.
I've never really had to do this before, so I've never run into this problem.
Right now, I have the page set to a master container of 1600px. This works, but when you open the page, the page starts at the far left of the 1600px container and the main content appears uncentered.
Example 2 below is what I am looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and gals!
Or you could just center the 1600 container relative to the Page using the following attributes:
left: 50%;
margin-left: -800px;
You can use javascript to get the width of both divs, then take the difference between the two (1600-940=660px). Divide that by two for centering (330px). Then position the container left that amount (-330px).
You can set a negative margin on the image. You can use Javascript to compute the actual number, but if it's always going to be 1600 within 940, then you can set a negative margin of 330px.
(Container width - Content width) / 2 = Left Margin
#container img { margin-left: -330px; }
