I'm trying to make a div on the screen have a margin n the top, since it's a fixed element, I don't think it can. Also I added a bottom: 0 to it. But I need to space it from the main elements to make my site look better. Anyone have suggestions?
If i understand the question, you just need to use margin-top: #;.
What I usually do is to create a parent of the element. I then apply the fixed properties to the parent. I can then style the main element as much as I like. Eg.
CSS
#parent{
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
}
#element{
width:500px;
margin:30px auto;
}
HTML
<div id="parent">
<div id="element">All the content</div
</div>

So I know this is another centering question but I've been roaming around Google and SO for a couple days now without a solution so I'll ask now.
What I'm trying to do is horizontally center a fluid section element with a max width that has absolutely positioned elements inside it. The problem is, as you can see in my jsFiddle, the margins take up 50% of the available space with the other 50% used by the section. What I would like to do is keep the section perfectly centered but make the margins get smaller as the browser window closes in while keeping the section from re-sizing until the edges of the window gets to it.
I'd like to keep from using any table, table-cell solution because I read on CSS-Tricks that absolutely positioning elements inside table cells can be a real pain.
Edit Basically, the goal is to have the content take up as much space as possible without resizing until the view port width forces the content to be responsive.
Thank you for any bump in the right direction.
HTML:
<section id="wrapper">
<section id="content">
<p>Absolutely positioned imgs, btns, etc. go in here</p>
</section>
</section>
CSS:
#wrapper {
position:absolute;
width:50%;
height:300px;
margin-left:25%;
margin-right:25%;
outline:1px solid red;
}
#content {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
max-width:500px;
background:rgb(225, 112, 75);
}
You can use
#content {
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
to center your elements that will have a display:inline-block; property too.
EDIT: Now that I've better read your question, you can also use
#content {
margin:0 25%;
}
to center your second section.
here's your fiddle updated. As you can see by this fiddle everything is centered AND responsive now.
EDIT-2: Maybe you want to add some media query to reach your goal. Just add something like this at the end of your CSS file:
#media screen and (max-width:720px){
#content{width:100%; margin:0px;}
}
this says that when screen reaches the width of 720 and under, #content (and every ID/CLASS you put in there) will behave as declared.
NOTE that #media queries are not crossbrowser, you may want to add a script to make them work on every browser, I find respond.js a nice tool to do this job.
Also note that the #media queries must be placed at least under the default properties that you are about to change on screen resizing, that is why is suggested to add them at the bottom of your css file.
HERE is another fiddle with media applied (just try to resize the box to see the effect)
I wonder if this is what you were looking for: jsfiddle
I changed your wrapper to this:
#wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -150px;
margin-left: -200px;
width:400px;
height:300px;
outline:1px solid red;
}
So that your div now sits in the middle of the screen
I want to create a layout where I want to display an image to the left and content on the right. The image should stay constant when the content scrolls.
The css I'm using:
<style type="text/css">
#page-container
{
margin:auto;
width:900px;
background-color:Black;
}
#header
{
height:150px;
width:650px;
}
#main-image
{
float:left;
width:250px;
height:500px;
background-image:url('../images/main-image.png');
position:fixed;
}
#content
{
margin-left:250px;
padding:10px;
height:250px;
width:630px;
background-color:Teal;
}
</style>
The HTML:
<div id="page-container">
<div id="header"><img src="someimagelink" alt="" /></div>
<div id="main-image"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
Alot of time on this site and I have understood that background-attachment:fixed positions the image in the entire viewport and not the element it is applied to.
My question is how do I go about creating that kind of layout?
I do not want to give that image as a background image, as if the window is resized, it might get hidden. I want scrollbars to appear if the window size is less than 900px( my page width) so that the image can be viewed at all times.
That happens with this code, however I would like the image to start at my element instead.
How do I go about doing this??
Thanks in Advance :)
Edited:
I took the advice and added a position:fixed property to #main-image. Using the HTML and CSS as shown above.
Now, I also want to fix the header so that it does not move. Basically, only my content section should scroll.
However, if I add a position:fixed to the header, my #main-image and #content now sit on top of my header.
If I add a margin-top:150px (since my header height is 150px) to the #main-image, it works fine and moves down appropriately.
However if I add a margin-top:150px to the #content, my header moves down by 150px and still sits on top of my #content.
Can someone please explain why this is happening?
Thanks in Advance :)
Take a look at this link:
http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/
You can learn how to position Div's with it.
This will solve your problem:
#main-image {position:fixed;}
EDIT:
I'm not sure of what caused your problem but here is the solution:
#content{
position:relative;
top:150px;
}
My Guess:
I think that happened because when using position:fixed those 2 div's were positioned relative to the the browser window, while the other one was relative to the document itself.
In this link you will see more about positioning and you can test some of these features related to the position property:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_position.asp
About the fact that one div was positioned over another, you should search for the 'z-index' property. Firefox has a 3D mode so you can see this more clearly:
http://www.addictivetips.com/internet-tips/browse-internet-in-3d-using-mozilla-firefox-11-tip/
Set a min-width on html and body.
Have you tried setting your #page-container to relative and your #main-image container to absolute and setting the position using top, bottom, etc. Then you should also be able to float your #content container to the right.
i need to create a div in position fixed where i will put the image under a div with the rest of the content
i have put in my CSS header {
margin-bottom: 310px;
} to create a blank below space where there is gonna be my img in the div id="background" in position fixed below.
So then i have created the following id:
#background {
position:fixed;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:130px;
left:0;
z-index: 1;
overflow:scroll;
}
and
#content {
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:60px;
left:0;
z-index:2;
overflow:scroll;
}
The id background is supposed to be the div where my image is gonna be placed right in the blank space l after the header, the id content is the div where i am gonna have my page content and it start from the top.
Here the page : http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/4/
The effect i want to achieve is exactly this : http://tommywebdesigner.com/Home%20Page.html
but using the div to gain more flexibility. My problem is that i cannot insert properly my div id background in the position fixed with the image.
I think it s something very simple at this stage, How would you do that?
Hope the explanation is clear
You need to do that with background-position: fixed
I've shown you in this jsfiddle: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/7/
Good luck!
I do not understand why you put overflow: scroll on #background, it does nothing, really.
Same with the overflow:scroll on the #content. It is redundant.
In general I do not quite understand what your problem is: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/6/
I added <div id="background"><img/></div> where you indicated.
This of course still lacks styling for the header and content. (I added background-color to .container so it doesn't look too ugly).
I assume you have that somewhere else?
If you need more help, please elaborate in more detail what your problem is.
I am using JS to write HTML code where I need to display 2 images exactly overlapped.
The height and width of both are same.
What CSS properties can I use to do this?
Position relative on the container, and absolute on the images:
All of the above answers are missing the fact that you need to position a parent element with something other than static, or else you will be positioning them absolute to the browser window, which I presume you do not wish to do.
position: absolute will give your position in the container of the closest parent with some sort of positioning. So we give the parent position:relative; without declaring top or bottom, this way it will be 0px off from where it would normally be (i.e. no change, but still has position declared).
<div id="container">
<img src="data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPAAAC+byy+byywAAAAAAQABAEAIBAABBAQAOw==" style="height:125px; width:125px;">
<img class="hide" src="data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPAAADCQIzCQIywAAAAAAQABAEAIBAABBAQAOw==" style="height:125px; width:125px;">
</div>
#container{
position:relative;
}
#container img{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}
.hide:hover{
opacity:0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/BLbhJ/1/
Edit: Added your hide functionality
Play around with the css in this:
http://jsfiddle.net/zuZxD/
I used opacity to display the overlapping.
<style>
.imageoverlap{
position: absolute;
top:100px;
}
</style>
...
<div class='imageoverlap'>
image1
</div>
<div class='imageoverlap'>
image2
</div>
Try that :D
If you set position to absolute, you can control where you want to place it.
<style>
#overlay{position:absolute; top:0px;}
</style>
<div id="layer1"><img src="img1.png"></div>
<div id="overlay"><img src="overlay_image.png"></div>
Now you need to position #overlay where you want it, by setting top and left positions, i.e., top:0px, left:300px;
I just want the div to be in the center of the page, equal spacing from top to bottom and I need to use percents because the div content varies. I tried bottom:50% but this does not work.
Thanks for the answers! Mine's a little different and it is my mistake for not adding this, visit my blog to view the issue.
Hey everyone, thanks for using your time to answer such a stupid question, but I found that the easiest way is to just use padding:
padding-top:X%;
padding-bottom:X%;
Then just mess with it to see what your result is. If you have anything better PLEASE DO SHARE because this is obviously probablly not the most reliable.
Your answer of using percentages in padding doesn't work in all situations. This is because padding percentages are based on the width of the element you are adding padding to and not the height of it. Plus, it's not at all based on the container you want the element centered within. So if you were to decrease the width of your browser window, your DIV would move to a location that is no longer centered within the browser window because the width of the DIV has changed, causing the percentage value of your padding to change as well.
To truly center your DIV no matter the browser window dimensions, the code below should help tremendously:
.div {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
#mydiv {
position:absolute;
top:20%; bottom:20%
}
See also Understanding Vertical Align.
vertical-align:center for vertically aligning
then text-align:center for horizontal
#div{
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
height:100px;
width:100px;
}
this code aligns either bottom to top,or left to right but you have to set width and height.
Or use this:
#div{
display:flex;
align-items:center;
}
