I am creating a responsive website, and have just noticed a strange behaviour in my content pages when viewed on the iPhone. It scales correctly when loaded in portrait mode, and also when rotated to landscape. However, when rotating back to portrait the page seems to shift left, or not zoom correctly, and there is a strip of white space down the right-hand side. This white space also seems to be present on first loading in portrait as the user can swipe the page left
Rather than complicating the explanation any further, here's a link to a sample page where this behaviour is occurring. Have a look on an iPhone, then have a look at the home page which does not have this issue.
If you need to see anything further, just me know :)
Fixed it! The issue was coming from one particular div - to find it, it was a process of deleting the different elements until the issue went away.
To fix it I needed to add overflow-x: hidden to that div and it sorts it out! Hope this is useful to others with a similar issue.
I had the same problem, I fixed it by setting:
html, body { width:100%; overflow:hidden; }
This problem occurs when width of any division is greater than the width of iPAD's screen.
In my case, some divisions were having size of 1000px, so I just went for width:auto and it works. overflow-x:hidden also does the same thing, but is not a preferred way.
I don't have an iphone to test this on but I have come across something similar with websites I've created in the past. In my case its because there was a bug in safari mobile that messed with the scale when going from port to land.
The following code fixed it for me (can't remember where I got it from at the moment)
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) {
var viewportmeta = document.querySelectorAll('meta[name="viewport"]')[0];
if (viewportmeta) {
viewportmeta.content = 'width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0';
document.body.addEventListener('gesturestart', function() {
viewportmeta.content = 'width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.6';
}, false);
}
}
Using "overflow-x: hidden" solves part of the problem, but screws the scroll, acting with strange behaviors (as Jason said).
Sometimes, the hardest part is to discover what is causing the problem. In my case, after a few hours, if found that the problem was in Twitter's Bootstrap:
If you're using Twitter's Bootstrap with "control-group" zones for your forms, the problem could be there. In my case i solved the problem with:
.control-group .controls {
overflow-x: hidden
}
Now the white space on the right was gone :)
I'd like to add to Navneet Kumar's solution because it worked for me. Any div tag styled with width=100% cannot also have left or right padding. The mobile browsers (I noticed the problem on iPhone and Android devices) interpret the div as having a width greater than 100%, thereby creating the extra space on the right side. (I knew this regarding fixed widths, but not percentage widths.) Instead, use width=auto in conjunction with padding.
I know it's a while since this topic was opened but I came across a similar situation and found it was because I had an element with the following properties right: -999999px; position: absolute; hidden off screen.
Changing the above to left: -999999px; position: absolute; solved the same issue the OP had (white screen to the right and ability to swipe right).
I'm using Bootstrap 3.3. I tried all of these solutions, and nothing worked. Then, I changed my <div class="container"> to <div class="container-fluid"> in the section that I was having trouble with. This solved the problem.
I tried all what has been suggested here, nothing works. Then I've relized that it connect with scale of page. So then I added <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> to header.php in my main theme's folder and it 's fixed problem.
Seems as though results are varying for different circumstances but a sitewide
html, body { width:100%; x-overflow:hidden; }
seems to have worked for me!
Fixed!
Had a similar problem. Fixed it by setting the width to a current device width.
body, html {
max-width: 100vw;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
SOLVED ¡¡
Since installing protostar joomla template 3.X and start adding content in the module K2 I noticed that annoying scroll with a blank space on the right side, visible especially in iphones.
A correct partial answer was gave for Eva Marie Rasmussen, adding to the body tag in the file template.css these values:
width: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
But this solution is only partial.
Search div class or label that is causing this problem and once detected add to that class in the file templete.css the same values:
width: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
In my case add to the class "span" these two lines to finally look like this:
[Class * = "span"] {
float: left;
min-height: 1px;
margin-left: 20px;
width: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
And it´s working now¡¡
Can someone give me a clue about this weird behaviour?
When the browser is wide, we have a hint on the right side of a form
field. This is Ok.
When we narrow the viewport the hint gets to the bottom as it
should.
When we try to re-scale the viewport to be wide again, the hint text
overlaps other elements, instead of going to it's original position
as intended.
Chrome V.46 on Mac OS 10.
Step 1 - The browser is wide open - Hint text is on the right side
Step 2 - If we narrow the viewport, the hint moves to bottom. OK.
Step 3 - When we try to resize the browser window, the hint doesn't follow is position:
Step 4 - This is how the inspector looks like when the hint ignores the input field position:
Step 5 - I then uncheck the "position absolute" on the inspector window, and it stays like this:
Step 6 - Finally, I check that same checkbox, and it goes to the appropriate position.
As anyone had a similar issue before?
I've tried to reproduce this on a Fiddle, using the same rules, not just the exact same elements for obvious reasons, but it seems to work there:
https://jsfiddle.net/5m04na1u/1/
<div>Lets imagine I'm a form element wrapper</div>
<p class="hint-block">I'm a hint text block</p>
div {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
}
.hint-block {
display: block;
color: blue;
}
#media screen and (min-width : 56.25em) {
.hint-block {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
color: red;
}
}
Again, this is a Chrome only issue. Tried on other browsers and it worked well. But 99% of the time is my fault so, and even if it's not, I still have to fix this somehow.
Any clue or suggestion?
Update:
Here's a live code sample:
Sorry. I had to remove the link, because the product is not yet live, and the client had is concerns expressed.
My suggestion is:
Remove position: absolute from help block
Add vertical-align: middle to help block
Work like a charm for me
Adding
left: 400px to #media screen and (min-width: 56.25em) #checkoutform-email+.hint-block solves the layout issue, but not the root of the problem.
I believe this should be considered a browser issue. Since it calculates the initial left of the absolute element considering the width of its siblings.. After re-sizing the window, a layout happens and it won't consider the siblings width again, overlapping the inner contents..
You don't need the position absolute. Remove it and it works automatically.
What about making a div, where you can put your input? i think it should work
I am creating a webpage with CSS and HTML and I stumbled upon an annoying issue. When I resize my browser window, the background color covers the part of the page that is out of view, on the right side. It sounds a little vague but luckily, I have found a webpage on which this occurs also, here. Dragging the browser window to the left or right of the screen (Win 7 and 8) will resize the page, and when you look at the off-screen part of the page, you can see that it's "covered" with the background color.
I have tried searching the web for a solution to this issue but I find it hard to come up with an effective search term. Hopefully someone here can help! Thanks in advance!
You need to add a "max-width" to the .container, like so (includes current code):
.container {
width: 1200px;
margin: 0px auto;
max-width: 100%; //this is the new line
}
(.container is found in default.css on line 212.)
I'm trying to set the sizing for my list item's icon. Basically, I need to set the height and width to be 27 pixels whilst the image is actually 54 pixels wide and high. This is for use with retina graphics so that it will display properly on older and newer iPhones. Here is my code:
<ul data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.TabBar">
<li id="footerHomeButton" class="sizing" data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.TabBarButton"
icon1="images/new/home_icon#2x.png" onclick="WL.Page.load(INDEX.loadPage(0));">Home</li>
I have tried everything I can think of, from simple height and width tags, to CSS modifications, to Dojo sizings and nothing works. This is rather frustrating, hopefully someone else has encountered a similar problem? Why they don't include icon height and width parameters is beyond me, unless I've missed this in the documentation and you actually can?
Please help! Thanks :)
It works for me using css like below. Hope it'd help. Thanks.
img.mblListItemIcon {
height: 29px;
width: 29px;
overflow:hidden;
}
I have the following issue:
I am making this website... I'm using html and CSS. I've been trying to maintain CSS as standard as possible and checking as I go with the three main browsers: chrome, firefox, and ie. In MY pc it seems to be working fine (with the exception of minor details). However, when other people open it in other screen dimensions , things fall out of place. Does anyone know why this might be happening? take a look at what i'm talking about this is the homepage:
www.britobmarketing.com/ledtogo/index.html
I bet it will be a little unaligned in some of your computers, but in mine it looks perfect. It's stressful!!!
Also, as I was saying, I'm trying to keep the CSS standard so that every browser can view it the same. But browsers like Firefox and ie do not recognize the "round edges" effect on the three buttons I have besides the video. It does work on the rest though, which is what confuses me! Anyone has any idea why this might be happening?
Thank you very much for your time and help!!
This is not an issue of browser rendering engines doing things different.
You aren't taking into account a variable width of the viewport. Your header and footer are centered, and your content is fixed left. So as the viewport gets wider, the header footer stay and the center and slides left.
So for your content, here's the problem:
#indexcontainter {
width: 980px;
height: 390px;
float: none;
margin-left: 170px;
}
In your header, margin: auto is what does the centering, making the left and right margin automatically equal each other. But for the content, you hard code a left margin at 170px.
Change that to use automargins and it starts to work great:
#indexcontainter {
width: 980px;
height: 390px;
float: none;
margin: auto;
}
