I'm having a problem with my CSS where I have a massive amount of white space which I'm not wanting. All I want is the content area containers to fix to the page size, though for the life of me I can't find what I have done to cause this problem.
Here is a link to my problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/k5t5czxt/1/
CSS for main content:
#main-body-area {
background-size:cover;
background:url(../Images/BluePrint.jpg) no-repeat;
background-position:left;
position:absolute;
}
#main-body-cover {
background-color:pink;
opacity: 0.75;
position: absolute;
height: 100%
}
#main-body-wrapper {
width: 60%;
background-color: yellow;
margin: 0px auto;
opacity: 0.75;
border-radius: 20px;
height: 95%;
}
#main-section {
margin: 2%;
}
article {
background-color:orange;
border: 1px solid green;
margin: 2%;
height: 500px;
width: 90%;
display: inline-block;
}
Your extra <div class="Clear" /> and <div class="Clear"></div> are creating the extra white space.
Remove those and the white space will be gone, almost completely. There is still some white space remaining because the overall height of the page is 500px which is a result of your height: 100% element. Removing the height:100% will remove the additional white space but also adversely impact other parts of the page.
Since there is a lot going on with your CSS I would potentially recommend starting over with this page and rebuilding it one element at a time to see how each element and class impacts your layout.
JS Fiddle Demo
The extra white space is caused by your .Clear element. div height: 100% gets applied to that.
Just change CSS for the article.
article {
background-color:orange;
border: 1px solid green;
margin: 2%;
height: 100%;
width: 90%;
display: inline-block;
}
Here, height is changed from 500px to 100%.

I have a div with percentages as values, and an image i need to fit in it.
The width should be resized to fit the div, whereas the height of the image that exceeds the div should be hidden.
(a clearer visual explanation)
this is what I have so far(edit: pasted the wrong link, my bad)
the html:
<div class="wrap">
<img class="imgofcrap" src="http://physictourism.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Grand-Canyon-National-Park-Arizona.jpg" />
</div>
the css:
div.wrap {
width: 20%;
height: 5%;
overflow:hidden;
border: 2px solid black; }
img.imgofcrap{
width: 100%;
height: auto; }
I thing so you are looking for a responsive image.
so please cheack below JSfiddle URL
img.imgofcrap{
max-width:100%;
height: auto;
display:block;
}

Pretty simple and you was close.
So we just want to use the width of the img so we set that as 100%. As the parent has a width it will use that. Now the parent you have set as a percentage height. But the div has no parent with an height. So we set it using:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
So now we have:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
div.wrap {
width: 20%;
height: 6%;
overflow:hidden;
border: 2px solid black;
}
img.imgofcrap {
width: 100%;
}
Demo Here
Change to this:
img.imgofcrap{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

Also take a look here The difference between width:auto and width:100%
Your looking for a background cover solution: if you only have to use the image like you showed there and only in latest browsers i would go for
<div class="wrap"></div>
div.wrap {
width: 20%;
height: 5%;
overflow:hidden;
border: 2px solid black;
background: transparent url("http://physictourism.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Grand-Canyon-National-Park-Arizona.jpg") center;
background-size: cover;
}

if you need ie7+ support i made a small project which covers that - feel free to use it or extended it to your needs:

I feel this question has been answered but I searched and searched and no answer seems to deal with dynamic main content width.
I simply want this scenario:
|-|nav|-|main content|-|
Where nav is a DIV and main content is a DIV and both are placed inside another DIV container which has a width of 100%. - is simpy a spacing between the DIVs, a margin.
nav has a fixed width of 300px and "main content" div should always take the rest of the space available (to fill the 100% of the parent div) - without the use of JavaScript.
Also I want to have some margins left and right of each DIV (nav, main content) so that they have some space between them and the "browser border"/body.
I experimented with table, table-cell but the border-collapsing drove me nuts so I am heading back to god old "float: left" and clearfix. This is what I have so far:
<div id="container" class="cf">
<div id="nav">
Nav stuff
</div>
<div id="main">
Main stuff
</div>
</div>
#container {
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: orange;
min-height: 50px;
}
#nav {
display: inline;
float: left;
min-width: 300px;
width: 300px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
#main {
display: inline;
float: left;
background-color: green;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.. /* clearfix stuff omitted (class 'cf') */
So now the problem is, how to make "main content" (#main) fill the rest of the parent (#container). If I use a width of 100% the 100% is of course the full width of the parent and the div will go under the "nav" div. If i use "auto" the same thing happens. It of course works if I pass in a fixed width e.g. in pixels but I don't know the correct pixels in advance and using JS to calculate that seems a bit odd to me.
I've seen a solution where the "nav" was put inside "main" but that leads to problems with the margins. Try to insert a margin to create some space beside a div that is inside another div... I don't think that's anyhow possible in this universe.
Thanks for your help!
Maybe you should create BFC to face this problem.
For example:
#container{
border: 1px solid red;
}
#nav{
float: left;
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid green;
height: 200px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
#main{
overflow: hidden;
height: 400px;
border: 1px solid blue;
margin-right: 20px;
}
overflow: hidden; is the key to create BFC for #main.
JSFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/yujiangshui/yMFB6/
More about BFC : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Block_formatting_context
For example:
#container {
width: 100%
position: relative;
}
#nav {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 300px;
}
#main {
margin-left: 320px;
}
JSFIDDLE
I'm making a site and trying to center the image head. However, it doesn't appear to be working.
Here is the HTML:
<body>
<div id="templatemo_header">
<div class="image"><img src="images/server_banner_lax_en5.png" alt="Header"></div>
</div>
</body>
And the CSS:
#templatemo_header {
height: 263px;
border-top: 5px solid #FFF;
overflow: visible;
width: 762px;
float: left;
background: url(images/templatemo_headerimg_bg.jpg);
}
#templatemo_header .image {
width: 762px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I tried to add margin: 0 auto; to the image, but it still is not centered. How can I do this?
Modify the css for the div containing your image with:
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
Add the following to your CSS file:
.image { width:762px; margin:0 auto;}
Your wrapping div is the same width as the image, this stops any margins from being automatically applied since there is no space.
There are a few ways to fix this, but easiest would be to set the width of templatemo_header (the wrapper div) to 100%. This way the image margins can expand, thereby centering the image.
So in your css, modify the width from 762px to 100%, like so:
#templatemo_header {
height: 263px;
border-top: 5px solid #FFF;
overflow: visible;
width: 100%;
float: left;
background: url(images/templatemo_headerimg_bg.jpg);
}
I'm trying to make a menu bar centered horizontally in the header of my page. For some reason, i can't get the centering to work. I made a little test page roughly displaying the problem: JSFiddle. The inner div has to be 5px away from the bottom, that's whatI use the position: absolute for.
I've tried searching on the web alot, but everything I find gives me the same result, or none at all. Most problems I found were when text-align: center wasn't in the container div, but even with it, it still doesn't work.
I removed two css attributes and it work.
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
Check this Fiddle
5px from bottom. Fiddle
This is not a perfect way, but it's still kind of useful. I first think of this idea from this Q&A.
You'll have to make some change to your HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="wrapper-center"> <!-- added a new DIV layer -->
<div id="inner_container">
TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS will change to:
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
position: relative;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
left:-50%;
}
#wrapper-center {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
bottom:5px;
width:auto;
}
Demo fiddle
The trick is to place the wrapper at the given top-bottom position, and 50% from left (related to parent), and then make the true content 50% to left (related to the wrapper), thus making it center.
But the pitfall is, the wrapper will only be half the parent container's width, and thus the content: in case of narrow screen or long content, it will wrap before it "stretch width enough".
If you want to centre something, you typically provide a width and then make the margins either side half of the total space remaining. So if your inner div is 70% of your outer div you set left and right margins to 15% each. Note that margin:auto will do this for you automatically. Your text will still appear to one side though as it is left-aligned. Fix this with text-align: centre.
PS: you really don't need to use position absolute to centre something like this, in fact it just makes things more difficult and less flexible.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
}
#inner_container {
color:red;
height:50px;
width: 70%;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
}
If you don't want a fixed width on the inner div, you could do something like this
#outer {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#inner {
display: inline-block;
}
That makes the inner div to an inline element, that can be centered with text-align.
working Ex
this CSS changes will work :
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline;
margin: 0 auto;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
Try this:
html
<div id="outer"><div id="inner">inner</div></div>
css
#outer {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner{
display: inline;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
example jsfiddle
You may set the inline style for the inner div.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div align="center" id="inner_container" style="text-align: center; position:absolute;color: white;width:100%; bottom:5px;">
<div style="display: inline-block;text-align: center;">TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is working DEMO
I want to achieve the following effect: http://jsfiddle.net/3KJta/1/
However the solution I have uses a known width for the small div and the larger div. I need this to work with variable sized divs. The use case for this is a tooltip that appears above a smaller flexible sized element. The tooltip content isn't known and so the width could be anything.
So far I have:
<div class="small">
<div class="smaller"></div>
<div class="larger"></div>
</div>
and
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
div {
border: 2px solid black;
}
.small {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
top: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.smaller {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border-color: red;
display: inline-block;
}
.larger {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-color: blue;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: -75px /* NOTE: in reality, .small has a variable width, and so does .larger, so i can't just take off this fixed margin */
}
If you are ok with using css3 and only support modern browsers you can use transform: translateX(-50%); to center the bigger box (currently supported browsers).
See this example: http://jsfiddle.net/2SQ4S/1/
If you use and extra element you can do it:
<div class="small">
<div class="smaller"></div>
<div class="larger">
<div>I'm extra</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.larger {
position:relative;
left:50%;
width:8000%;
margin-left:-4000%;
text-align:center;
border:none;
}
.larger div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-color: blue;
margin:auto;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/3KJta/4/
although that does cause some issues with content being wider than the page so you would need it all in a container with overflow:hidden:
http://jsfiddle.net/3KJta/7/
All a bit ugly though. Perhaps there's a solution where you can avoid doing this. Maybe a JS solution that measures the size of the content you're trying to show and offsets it.
