I am trying to make an expandable div that will have a minimum width of 200 px but will expand if the content is longer. the problem is the width always displays as 100%, If i put a width: 200px it will stay 200 and will not expand.
This is my CSS code for the div:
#section_title {
background-color: #2b65ae;
border-radius: 10px;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 5px 30px 0px;
background-size: 100% 100%;
font-size: 24px;
min-width: 200px;
height: 30px;
text-align: center;
font-style: italic;
margin: 0 auto;
text-transform: uppercase;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
}
You may use display:table properties to achieve this :
Update your CSS with :
display:table;
width: 200px;
DEMO , using just words and white-space to keep all on one line for the demo purpose.
You can use this
div {
float: left; /* or right according to your requirement */
width: auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 100%;
}
This will keep the minimun width 200, will expand on more content and won't go beyond 100% width.
Try like this:
#section_title {
display:inline-block;
width: auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width:100%;
}
Updated fiddle
If it's just for one line of content, then you can add a float to your css.
#section_title {
min-width: 200px;
height: 60px;
background-color: rgb(14,87,145);
float: left;
}

I'm having a problem on my new website. But first I should give you some information.
I'm building a full responsive website with a portfolio. My portfolio images stands in a DIV and response to the screen size. On a screen with more then 1005px it's working perfect. Also the scaling works great. This is because the following CSS line:
#media only screen and (max-width: 1005px) {
The div with my image is newtextportfolio. The image itself doesn't use CSS except 100% width and height. When i give my div the follow definition (height: auto;) i get a white line under my images. And i don't want the white line :(
.newtextportfolio {
width: calc(95% + 10px);
height: auto;
margin-right: 25px;
}
I can make it disappear if I make the height for example 200px. But when I view my site on an iPad this makes the images stretch (because it's fixed and not responsive).
Does anyone know how i can make the white line disappear? I already tried some things with calc, percentages but this also makes the line, only fixed pixels doesn't.

Make the img element display:block.
https://jsfiddle.net/jmarikle/95gsk2tu/
An alternative approach is to give the image vertical-align: top;. This is being caused by the fact that images are inline elements with some block attributes. They retain line height, letter spacing, etc. Block level elements do not have those added calculations to their size, and aligning vertically collapses the attributes that cause the gap at the bottom.
I'm pretty sure this is fairly easy, but i'm stumped.
I am working on a responsive layout design. Regardless of the size of the page, I always want there to be a 10px margin on the left and a 10px margin on the right. I am able to achieve the 10px margin on the left, but I can't figure out the right margin. How would I do this with css? I can estimate the % width based how much space I want on the right, but obviously as the page size scales so does this margin. How do I always keep margin-right? Here is an example of my code:
form {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
'form' sits inside '#wrap' and '.left' all of which have the same margin-right applied:
#wrap {
width: 95%;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #CCC;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px#CCC;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #CCC;
background-color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
.left {
float: left;
text-align: left;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 18px;
font-weight: lighter;
font-size: 12px;
color: #777777;
padding-top: 10px;
width: 100%;
margin-right: 10px;
}
This will do the magic:
form {
width: auto;
display: block;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
The problem is that the form ends up being 100% the width of its parent container plus the 20px for the two margins.
It would be easier to set the form inside a parent element and put padding on that. e.g.
body{
padding:0px 10px;
}
form {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}
I'm having issues getting my content box to extend to encompass everything within it. shouldnt max-height:100% do this?
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xujAC
There's the codepen of my code. The red and blue background are for visual reference only.
Shouldnt the blue background (.container) only extend 20px below the blocks?
Pretty new at this and learning as I go. I'm probably missing something easy.
Thanks a lot.
You have the height of your .container set to 100%. In this sample, it will be as tall as its containing element. Because its top is set to 80px and its height is that of its parent, it will extend below the bottom by ~ 80px.
Other things that throw this off are:
floated elements are outside the regular flow which means the containing element can't calculate the height of its children. In this case, I think the simplest fix would be to use position: inline-block; for the children.
The child elements banner and container are absolutely positioned. This also take them outside the flow of the document. In this example, I believe you can get the results you are looking for using relative positioning.
Margins are also throwing off the layout. Here you can using padding in #content to achieve better results.

Updated CSS:
* {
margin: 0;

border: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
header {

max-height: 100%;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 2px #111;

border-bottom: 1px solid #888;
top: 15px;

I know it's shaky to get a full screen height div without using client-side scripting, but what about this: assuming my div is tall enough to reach the bottom, how do I make it reach the VERY top and bottom, without the little extra space at top and bottom? I've tried adding top and bottom margins (and even padding) of 0px, but it doesn't seem to work.
#container {
height: 1000px;
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #FFF;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
}
Try this:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #FFF;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
}
change height: 1000px; to height: 100%;
I am trying to make two floated divs with box-shadow to display the shadows outside of their container. It won't display because their parent has overflow: auto set, which cuts off the shadow, but is nevertheless necessary so the parent won't collapse because both child divs are floated. If I set the parent to overflow: visible it collapses, obviously, because the children are floated. Thanks for any help.
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zJGVz/
HTML
<div id='parent'>
<div id='child1'></div>
<div id='child2'></div>
</div>
CSS:
#parent {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 200px;
background: green;
overflow: auto;
}
#child1 {
width: 150px;
height: 200px;
float: left;
background: pink;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 #000000;
}
#child2 {
width: 30px;
height: 200px;
float: left;
margin-left: 20px;
background: blue;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 #000000;
}
You can add a 5px margin to both children on the sides that touch the edge of the parent.
#child1 {
width: 700px;
float: left;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #000000;
margin:0 0 5px 5px;
}
#child2 {
width: 300px;
float: left;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 #000000;
margin:0 5px 5px 0;
}
See the JSFiddle.
Try changing the overflow to 'visible'
overflow: visible;
