How to make <Footer> use 100% width of the webpage - html

Here is my HTML:
<body>
<nav>
<div id="navBar">
<ul>
<li>ESILEHT</li>
<li>UUDISED</li>
<li>ÜLEVAATED/ARVUSTUSED</li>
<li>LOGI SISSE</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="content">
<div id="logo">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/Y4g5MOM.png" alt="Gaming website logo" height="84" width="540"/>
</div>
<div id="tervitus">
<h3 id="tere">TERE TULEMAST</h3>
</div>
</div>
<div class="artikkel">
<p>check check</p>
</div>
<footer>©2014 Janno.</footer>
</body>
</html>
Here is my CSS:
#navBar{
width: 100%;
float: left;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
background-color: #000000;
left: 0;
min-width:760px;
}
#navBar ul{
list-style:none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#navBar li{
float: left;
}
#navBar li a:link , a:visited{
font-size: 90%;
display: block;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 20px 25px;
font: 18px "open sans", sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navBar li a:hover{
background-color: #F0F0F0;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
#logimine{
}
body{
margin: 15px;
padding: 15px;
background-color: #F0F0F0;
min-width: 700px;
}
.content, .artikkel{
max-width: 65%;
margin: 1em auto;
box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,.8);
background-color: #ffffff;
padding: 3em;
padding-bottom: 350px;
margin-bottom:50px;
}
#tervitus{
background-color: black;
color: white;
font: 18px "open sans", sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
#tere{
margin-left: 5px;
}
#logo{
}
#regnupp{
color: blue; /*miks see valge on muidu*/
}
.uudised{
max-width: 65%;
margin: 4em auto;
box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,.8);
background-color: #ffffff;
padding: 3em;
padding-bottom: 350px;
margin-bottom:50px;
}
.uudised{
padding-left: 115px;
}
.uudised img{
float: left;
width: 100px;
margin-left: -75px;
}
.uudised p, h2{
margin-left: 50px;
}
.uudised hr{
margin-top: 50px;
margin-bottom: 50px;
}
footer {
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto -40px;
width: 100%;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
font-weight:300;
color:#ffffff;
background-color:#000000;
}
If I understand correctly, the <footer>, when using width: 100%; looks like the width of the <body> element, so I tried quite a few things and nothing. This is my first try at a webpage, so is there anything I can do, to have the <footer> use the entirety of the page width, without drastically changing everything?

Make sure that firstly your css is set up properly such as:
body {
margin: 0;
}
then your footer css should be something like this:
.footer {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
background-color: red;
}
This should work obvious then your html should be something like:
<html>
<body>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps!

JsFiddle
I added extra styles to the JSFiddle for presentation and proof, but the code works the same without.
Do this:
HTML
<body>
<footer>Hi</footer>
</body>
CSS
html,body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
marging:0;
}
footer{
height:120px;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}

Block level elements
To understand this issue you need to understand about display:block. Block level elements (elements which declare display:block) by default take up the full width of their containing element.
In this case, the footer is, in all newish browsers, a block level element, and so will take up the full width of its container, in this case the body. There is no need to set width:100%;
Older browsers
In older browsers, the newer HTML5 elements, including block, are inline by default, so you need to set them to be block level in your CSS, like so:
footer {
display:block;
}
This is good practice.
Floats
There are several things which can get in the way of this behaviour, notably floats. If you float an element, to the left or right, it will become as narrow as it possibly can, while still enclosing it’s contents. This may or may be your issue here.
Do please post your code.

set footer width to viewport width width: 100vw;, and add the viewport meta tag to your header:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

There is a good full width and sticky to bottom (if you need) solution:
<div class="content">
<!-- content here -->
<div class="hfooter">
<!-- For Content not to lay under the Footer -->
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<!-- footer content here -->
</div>
and CSS:
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.content {
height: 100%;
}
.hfooter {
height: 100px;
}
.footer {
height: 100px;
margin-top: -100px;
}
Hope it is that what you need)

Positioning Elements, DIV's and IMG's

I'm struggling with this project I'm doing for practice. I'm having trouble with the innovation cloud project. Please explain me how to fix this.
I can't manage to get the "Learn More" button to be below the paragraph in the header section.
I can't manage to get the image in the main section to float left of the Header and paragraph.
I also can't manage the jumbotron DIV to appear below main. The image fuses with main, it doesn't appear below it where it should be.
Here is the pen for a visual: http://codepen.io/alejoj/pen/xGBbwv

Not entirely sure about your desired outcome, but it seems that this css was throwing off a lot of what you want to fix:
.main h2, p {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
If you remove that and change the right margin on your image from -5 to 50 it looks pretty good like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BNbyEP
Floating elements can really throw off your layout if you don't "clear" the floats. Sometimes I add a br style="clear:both" after floated elements to keep the flow looking as expected (in the case of not seeing your jumbotron image where it should be)
You have your p set to inline-block. Remove this:
.main h2, p {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
You have negative right margin on your image. Change this:
margin: 50px -5px 50px 0px;
to:
margin: 50px 50px 50px 0px;
Not sure what you mean.

Floating my div's using only CSS

I am trying to get the "ChatBox" to float to the right side of the <main> tag, opposite side of Box1 and NavBox.
If I remove either Box1 or NavBox then it works. Otherwise I can only get it to the bottom of the page (when "ChatBox" is after the <main> tag), or to the right (when before the <main> tag), but it won't go to the top of the <main> box, it will start about 200px down.
The only HTML that can be changed is to move "ChatBox" about the <main> tag. Mostly has to done using CSS only.

<main id="main" class="main" role="main">
<div class="main-1">Main Content</div>
</main>
<div id="chatbox" class="chatbox">ChatBox</div>
</div>
EDIT: The only possible HTML change I can make is to move the ChatBox above, or below, the <main> tag.
Using Absolute Positioning
If you want to keep the HTML as you presented, you can use absolute positioning as follows.
You need to apply position: relative to #wrapper and then use suitable top and right offsets for .chatbox.
You need to specify a width or min-width to the wrapper or else you will get
some overlapping with the absolutely positioned element.
This solution may work but it depends on your other requirements regarding flexibility and responsiveness.

Without restructuring your HTML (which I would strongly suggest; it's a little unsemantic and nonsensical), you can achieve what you're looking for this way:
JSFiddle Example
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
background:#000;
font:normal 11px/13px Arial, Verdana, Lucida, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#c2c2bd;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 999px;
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.box-1, .mainnav {
float: left;
clear: left;
width: 180px;
height:200px;
vertical-align:top;
margin: 18px 0 0 8px;
}
.chatbox {
float:right;
position: relative;
top: -200px;
vertical-align:top;
width:196px;
min-height:200px;
}
.main {
min-height: 550px;
padding-top: 40px;
background: #7d7e7d;
margin-top: 100px;
}
.main-1 {
width: 548px;
margin-left: 194px;
min-height: 250px;
background: #3f3f3f;
padding: 6px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="box-1" class="nav box-1">Box 1</div>
<nav id="navbar" class="nav mainnav">NavBox</nav>
<div id="chatbox" class="chatbox">ChatBox</div>
<main id="main" class="main" role="main">
<div class="main-1">Main Content</div>
</main>
</div>
I've moved your .chatbox element above .main, and have given it position: relative; and moved it 200px above the top position of where it would normally be, so that it is in line with Box 1. A better way to do this that doesn't require the position property would be to wrap .box-1 and .nav in a containing element, float the containing element left, and then move the .chatbox element above the .main element and float it right.
I usually would have used position:absolute for having the chatbox align on the right at the top. Your CSS would be;
.chatbox {
position:absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
width:196px;
min-height:200px;
}
This will align it to the top-right of the parent element of the chatbox.

Trying to center a div tag within a section tag

I can't seem to center my div tag within a section tag. I can get it centered from left to right but not top and bottom in the center of the section tag. If I give a margin-top:xxpx then it moves the section tag down and exposes it (not good!)
Here is my css
body
{
background-color: yellow;
margin: 0;
}
header > * {
margin: 0;
float: left;
}
header
{
background-color: white ;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
}
/*header > input {
margin: 10px 20px 0px 10px;
}*/
#toptext
{
margin: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
width: 245px;
}
article > * {
margin: 0;
}
article
{
background-color: red;
}
#search {
background-color: #a6dbed;
height: 500px;
}
#middlesearch {
background-color: grey;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#mostdesired
{
background-color: #c7d1d6;
height: 200px;
}
section h2 {
margin:0;
}
.site-title {
color: #c8c8c8;
font-family: Rockwell, Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
font-size: 1.3em;
margin: 0px 20px 0px 50px;
margin-top: 7px;
}
.site-title a, .site-title a:hover, .site-title a:active {
background: none;
color: #c8c8c8;
outline: none;
text-decoration: none;
}
Here is my html
<body>
<header>
<p class="site-title">#Html.ActionLink("Site", "Index", "Home")</p>
<input id="toptext" type="text" />
</header>
<article>
<section id="search">
<div id="middlesearch">
<h2>Search Here</h2>#RenderBody()
</div>
</section>
<section id="mostdesired" ><h2>This is the most section</h2></section>
</article>
</body>
Vertically aligning with CSS is notoriously tricky.
Change the CSS to
#search {
position: relative;
background-color: #a6dbed;
height: 500px;
}
#middlesearch {
position: absolute;
background-color: grey;
width: 700px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -350px; /* half the width */
}
and add one line of JQuery to up the div to be correctly centered
$('#middlesearch').css("margin-top",-$('#middlesearch').height()/2)
this line can be avoided if you decide to explicitly specify the height of the div at which point you can simply define the top margin in the CSS.
This avoids having to use tables.
The CSS declaration for header isn't closed on line 20
http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/vertical-centering/
Unfortunately, CSS doesn't make it to easy, but it is possible. Since the div height is dynamic, I would recommend the CSS table method. Yes, a total hack, but it does work.
You have to do a little work for block level elements, refer to these examples
http://phrogz.net/CSS/vertical-align/
http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/vertical-centering/
#middlesearch {
display:inline-block;
line-height:500px;
vertical-align:middle;
}

Simple css positioning (I think)

I've been meaning to replace the tables in my site with css positioning and have been trying to teach myself through tutorials etc. I've had some early success but it all came crashing down when I tried to create a sidebar. I'm hoping the problem has some kind of simple solution. The relative/absolute positioning of the elements is not going anywhere close to what I wanted to do. My goal is to have a sidebar with images that stack (float?) from top to bottom, with the middle elements being part of an unordered list. I got it to work once but now that stack on top of each other. It has to be the way I am setting the float and the absolute/relative positioning. After reading some articles here I tried adding a div wrapper to put them inside but I think I got myself even more confused. Is it possible someone could nudge me in the right direction? Here is the code:

Typically (for non-responsive sites especially), you'd have your .wrapper div around the entire content (header, content, sidebar, footer, etc). Then set your .wrappers width. Your .sidebar would have a set width and it would either float: left; or float: right; depending on the side you want it on. Set your .content div's width which would be less than or equal to your .wrapper width - your .sidebar width. Then add your .clearfix below so the .footer falls beneath everything. In most cases (at least for the large page chunks) you can avoid position:absolute; which helps make things more easily fall into place.
You really shouldn't have to float your div's or list. Those are block elements by default and will stack vertically regardless.
Also, as Scrimothy mentioned, you do not want absolutely positioned elements as that will take the element out of the page flow. In other words, they no longer take up "real" space in the page, and instead render at whatever coordinates you position them.
Similarly, floats also take up no space, except with other floated elements. That's why some UI developers will float almost every element on the page and "clear" them using a footer or at key breaks in the page. I personally don't recommend positioning in that fashion, but to each his own.
See if this quick tutorial helps you with some key positioning concepts: HERE
Don't target the same element with both float and position:absolute. It doesn't make much sense. Anywhere where you have float, you should get rid of position:absolute
Next, get rid of those silly class="clear" elements. Instead, target .footer with clear:both and .page with overflow-y:hidden;

website div won't stretch from left to right, how do you fix css?

If you look closely you will see that the black nav bar / header will not stretch all the way from side to side.
It seems like a 10px margin has been applied to the whole website.
How do I get rid of the "margin" that I never applied, but does not happen to any other website.
I am using netbeans, chrome, and xampp.
You should use a reset stylesheet to reset the default rules that browsers add to webpages. Eric Meyer's and YUI's reset stylesheets are good for most webpages. Personally, I use Eric Meyer's for my webpages. Make sure to place the reset stylesheet before any other stylesheets.
Can't you just do this?
html {
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
Or am I missing the point here? Not very many details were given, if you could elaborate? It helps. :D
Also, giving your div a negative margin value is what I do sometimes.
