So I've checked the site and I've seen questions close to what I am looking for but not exactly the same.
I am trying to figure out how to position an element so that when scrolled (up / down) the position is fixed, but when the browser is resize (left / right) the position is absolute or relative.
Essentially I want to place an element 10% (for example) from the top left of the browser window and have it stay there on scroll /window resize.
if what you want is always fixed in some position even if the browser is scrolled / resized, you may try this for your css
.fixedelement {
position: fixed;
top: 10%;
left: 10%;
width: 80%; /*my example*/
height: 10%;
}

My footer is not sticking on the bottom of my page. It only goes until the bottom of my screen, but when I scroll down, the footer is stuck on the location where my bottom of screen was. It sticks on the bottom of my screen but not on the bottom of my entire page. Someone please help I almost tried everything. The body and html doesn't take up the size of my whole page too, only the size of my screen which is 1920 x 1080. I tried every sizes like 100vh, 100%, min-width, set the footer div to absolute with bottom: 0, and none of them works :( (I'm also a newbie)
One time I managed to make the body fill the whole page but the footer is still stuck in the position.
Try to set body to:
position: relative (so the footer sets it's absolute position according to the bodys position)
You might even need to do:
body {
min-height: 100vh //as you have already
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 150px //same height as you footer
}
Most simple way to achive it is to make the body 100% of your page, with a min-height of 100% too. This works fine if the height of your footer does not change.
Give the footer-container a negative margin-top:
footer-container {
clear: both;
position: relative;
height: 150px;
margin-top: -150px;
}
I have a page where the content is 1000px wide. About halfway down on this page, I need to have an image displayed that is 600px high and 2000px wide.
This image should always be 600px high, maintain its aspect ratio and whatever can't be fit at the current browser width, should fall off equally on both the right and left (so the image stays centered as the browser window changes).
There will only be the image - nothing on top of it.
I have tried building a div and having the image fall outside of it (beyond the 1000px, but can't make it work. If I break it out of the container it works with:
.wideimage {
background: url(../images/wide.jpg) no-repeat center center;
height:600px;
}
This works but it would be a lot nicer if I could do it within the 1000px container and have the image fall outside to the edge of the browser window.
To have the image fall outside the container and be centered try making it absolute, left 50% and offset the margin by half the width of the image: https://fiddle.jshell.net/7vpmndfo/1/
.wideimage {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
margin-left:-1000px;
}
And in order to prevent horizontal scroll bars on the browser, you would need to have you're page within a wrapper div (if it's not already) with overflow:hidden;
If you have a variety of images and so may not know in advance the width of the image, you can centre the image with the classic "centre anything" css technique:
.wideimage {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
I have currently having issues keeping my div in the same place when the window is resized. In the example, it is .add div. The issue I am having is that it is going above the view region of the page, and I can't scroll to that portion of the page so I can't even see that when I resize.
Here is the code.
http://jsbin.com/kazizeruxi/1/
This is the part that I have tried dealing with
<div class = "add" align = "center">
<!--Everything inbetween -->
</div>
Ideally I am trying to keep the entry (in the farthest up left) to stay in the upper left no matter how it is resized.
I have tried messing around with media queries, but to no avail. It just turned out to be very inefficient with different browser sizes.
Any suggestions?
Just give them a absolute position.
.add {
position: absolute;
}
The proper way to do that is to give your element the position : fixed then it will have a fixed position from the root element or the body not the parent.
let us say you want it to be centered on the screen you can use this
.add{
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)
}
of if you have a fixed with and height you can use margin instead of transform
.add{
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -50% 0 0 -50%
}
if you give it an position: absolute and the parent has a position: relaive then it will move with the parent element on resize
I have the following element in my initial page concept:

The ribbon is a PNG image. What I'd like to be able to do is position this image exactly over the border of a box-shadowed div (representing the page content), without affecting the page width.
I've tried a couple of techniques.
By using position:absolute, I've been able to achieve the visual effect I was looking for, but it brings up the dreaded horizontal scrollbars! I want the edge of the div (not the edge of the image) to represent the edge of the page.
#banner-ribbon {
background-image: url(ribbon-right.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: absolute:
width: 419px;
height: 114px;
left: 700px;
top: 400px;
}
By using a div that sits between the content wrapper and the background, I've been able to position the image in the right place without affecting the horizontal scrollbars (sort of, I might need a little javascript to absolute-position it relative to the center), but I can't raise the image's z-index above its child divs!
#banner-ribbon-wrapper {
background-image: url(ribbon-right.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 90% 400px;
z-index: 70; /* does nothing */
}
Any ideas?
It sounds like the image is extending the boundaries of the page, causing the horizontal scroll bars. One way to fix this may be to set a width for your page and then hide anything that goes outside of it. Something like this may work for you:
body {
width: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Example jsFiddle
Give your content div
position: relative
and to your ribbon
position: absolute
right:0
Make sure your image don't extend boundaries uncontrollably.

My site, a course catalog tool for universities, has a center pane that contains a dynamically updated list of classes. In Firefox, Opera, and Chrome, the center pane has the intended scrolling behavior: when the class list exceeds the height, the center pane has a scroll bar. IE, however, only shows this bar when the height is explicitly set. Without using JavaScript to reset the center pane height on resize, how can I force Internet Explorer to show the scroll bar?
The center pane:
<div id="middlenav">
<div id="middleheader"></div>
<div id="courselist"></div>
</div>
and its CSS:
div#middlenav {
position: absolute;
left: 250px;
right: 350px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
div#courselist {
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 55px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
It looks like the center pane isn't obeying the bottom: 0px; statement, and is expanding to the full height of the contained #courselist. I tried body { height: 100% } but that didn't fix it either.
"The top property overrides the bottom property..."
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/bottom
Change top to auto instead of 0px:
div#middlenav
{
position: absolute;
left: 250px;
right: 350px;
top: auto;
bottom: 0px;
}
That should fix the bottom positioning. Remember, if #middlenav is positioned absolutely, it will be relative to whichever parent element has position:absolute; or position:relative;. If #middlenav has no parent elements that are positioned, it will be relative to <body>.
I'm not sure why you have #courselist absolutely positioned; since it is inside of #middlenav I would think you could leave it static or position it relatively. But regardless of what you do, I think you need a height set on #courselist or #middlenav. The default value of height is auto, so there won't be a scrollbar because the element will expand to fit its content.
I know this question was asked 3 years ago, but I'm posting this for other people who may have a problem with CSS positioning. Cheers!
While it is perfectly acceptable to set opposite edges when using absolute positioning in CSS, limitations in Internet Explorer mean that the approach may not work there.
There is no way to avoid the bug in Internet Explorer 6. In Internet Explorer 7 and newer, triggering Standards Mode will resolve the issue.
Faking columns that extend to the bottom of an element is usually achieved using faux columns.
position: absolute; bottom: 0px; sets the element right on the bottom of the element. But it has to know where the bottom of the element is. If you set the height to 100% or have it in another element positioned bottom: 0px; Then it doesn't know where the bottom is, unless one of those elements is inside (taking up the full height of) and element with a fixed size. You can't give the body a height of 100% because it would just sort of go on forever. Try specifying the height of the body or some containing element. :D
Ensure that your doctype is set to HTML strict, otherwise IE will behave quirky and get confused with among others positioning and overflows.
Add this to top of your page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
I am not quite sure if i fully understand but I think you want the center pane to scroll when it reaches past a certain height..this is how I would do it.
#middlenav { position:absolute; left:250px; top:0 }
#courselist { position: absolute;top: 55px; left:0; min-height:400px; _height:400px;
overflow:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; width:500px; }
This sets your course list in all browsers to a minimum height of 400, once that is passed a scrollbar appears. min-height is not supported in IE7 and lower so i used the IE hack _height 400 so it acts as a min height. overflow-x:hidden is hiding the horizontal scroll just in case you only want vertical. I hope this helps you.
Don't use top and bottom positioning in the same class and don't use right and left positioning in the same class, as they are contradictory values to each other.
