Place a div in absolute position inside media page print area - html

I need to print a page with a fixed size, and an absolute position div inside:
.page
{
width: 21cm;
min-height: 29.7cm;
padding: 1.2cm;
margin: 1cm auto;
border: 1px #D3D3D3 solid;
border-radius: 5px;
background: white;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
position: relative;
}
Media classes to print:
#page
{
size: A4;
margin: 0;
}
#media print {
.page {
margin: 0;
border: initial;
border-radius: initial;
width: initial;
min-height: initial;
box-shadow: initial;
background: initial;
page-break-after: always;
position: relative;
}
}
The div:
<div id="proc_comp">Printed by Computer</div>
#proc_comp
{
position: absolute;
left: 190px;
bottom: 15px;
font-size: 0.65em;
}
But the div, when I try to Print in the Browser, it does not appear in the same place as the HTML layout, why?
Thanks.

The wrong positioning appears because you are using pixel-based placement inside your #proc_comp rule whereas the page is using A4 format (non-pixel based layout). You may try to use following alternative
#proc_comp {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50px;
margin-left: -5em;
margin-top: -1em;
}
You may have to play around with the negative margins to fit the height and width of your displayed message to make it appear centered.

Make element with position: absolute stretch the shadow of parent?

I have a usual search as most websites do. The results are shown below on the div that is visually connected to the search input.
It looks like this:
I need to have one solid shadow for the div parent but can't figure out or find online the way to do this.
I thought that I could either make 2 separate shadows, but that will look inconsistent and just terrible. Or I could make a div below with the same height and width that will act as a shadow but that's a non-necessary complication + the .search-results div's height will change dynamically.
This is an example:
body {
background-color: gray;
}
.search-wrapper {
position: relative;
margin: 100px 100px 0px 100px;
width: 200px;
overflow: initial;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
.search {
width: 200px;
height: 30px;
color: white;
border-radius: 4px;
} .search input {
padding: 0;
background-color: #022222;
border: none;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
color: white;
}
.search-results {
position: absolute;
height: 150px;
width: 200px;
background-color: black;
}
<div class="search-wrapper">
<div class="search">
<input placeholder="air max . . .">
</div>
<div class="search-results">
</div>
</div>
I am sure there must be a clever and simple way to do this.
Please help,
Thank you
You don't need to use positions here and you can use FlexBox instead. It's the best way and a lot easier. Also, you can ignore all of them, they will place on top of each other because they are block-level tags/elements. (divs)
You don't need to put the input in another div parent, use it as I did.
Sorry, I couldn't understand your code, so I must write the whole code from the beginning.
EDIT
I removed display flex, cause it's not necessary.

Is there a CSS solution for this design?

Here's my issue:
I have a mockup from a design company that wants a text block with a 'broken' square border behind some big text that looks like this (description: there is a small white frame behind large text that is broken up by the text, and then a smaller text link below):
Image of an element on client's website,
In the design, the text is displayed accross the white square frame. The way I have implemented it right now is to make the big text's background color gray. Because the current image's background is gray the desired effect is achieved.
What is needed is to achieve that effect (of breaking the white frame) REGARDLESS of the appearance of the image. Because right now, this happens:
the gray background of the text appears like a box in front of the image -- it ought to be transparent
To further illustrate, if I set the background-color of the big text to transparent, the whole frame is shown (the desired effect is a broken frame):
background: transparent #1
More info if it helps:
The white frame element is just a div with a white border.
I am not sure exactly what to search for in this case, if there is an appropriate CSS solution (preferrable) or if I need to use SVG or maybe a PNG? Thank you for any help.
As #Temani Afif pointed out in the comments, it's not one box, but two separate shapes in CSS.
I made an example to illustrate this using flexbox.
.page {
background-color: black;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
}
.box-top {
width: 100px;
height: 10px;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
border-bottom: none;
}
.box-bottom {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
border-top: none;
}
.separator {
color: white;
width: 100%;
margin: 5px 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 40px;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="page">
<div class="box-top"></div>
<p class="separator">
Headline
</p>
<div class="box-bottom"></div>
</div>
You can make a square element with a border and use a mask on it:
body {
margin: 0;
min-height: 100vh;
background: black;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding-top: 1px;
}
h2.fancy {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding-top: 12px;
}
h2.fancy:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
transform: translateX(-50%);
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 5px solid white;
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 10px, 0 10px, 0 40px, 100% 40px, 100% 100%, 0 100%);
}
<h2 class=fancy>I'm a fancy title...</h2>
The advantage of this solution is that you can make it scale easily with what might change on various screen sizes. For example, with the title's font-size:
document.querySelector('input.font-size').addEventListener('input', function(e) {
document.querySelector('h2').style.fontSize = e.target.value + 'px';
})
body {
margin: 0;
min-height: 100vh;
background: url(https://picsum.photos/800) center /cover;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding-top: 1px;
}
.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
}
h2.fancy {
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding-top: 12px;
}
h2.fancy:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
transform: translateX(-50%);
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
border: 5px solid white;
clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 10px, 0 10px, 0 calc(10px + 1.3em), 100% calc(10px + 1.3em), 100% 100%, 0 100%);
}
input[type=range] {
position: absolute;
bottom: 1rem;
left: 1rem;
z-index: 1;
}
<h2 class=fancy>I'm a fancy title...</h2>
<div class=overlay></div>
<input type=range min=12 max=36 class=font-size>
The disadvantage is that it doesn't work in IE or Edge lower than 18 or in Opera mini. This particular example works in IE 18, though, as it only uses polygon().

Issue in the width of a fixed positioned div

How to make a fixed positioned div fit its content width?
I've made a demo here
Before clicking on the Load button, the div must only have enough width to contain the gif image and the button.
When more content is loaded, the width of the div must fit its width.
here is the CSS I've made
body{background: #eee; }
#divToCenter{
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
max-width: 400px;
}
Since you are using JavaScript/jQuery to show/hide the loader, why don't you change the width of the box via JavaScript?
You could simply toggle a class called .wide for instance, to achieve the desired result as follows:
EXAMPLE HERE
CSS:
#divToCenter{
/* other declarations... */
text-align: center;
width: 50px;
}
#divToCenter.wide {
width: 400px;
text-align: left;
}
jQuery:
var $divToCenter = $("#divToCenter");
$("#show-more-data").click(function() {
// ...
$divToCenter.addClass("wide");
});
$("#show-less-data").click(function() {
// ...
$divToCenter.removeClass("wide");
});
Add display: table, position: relative and margin:0 auto to the following element:
#divToCenter{
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
display: table;/*Add this*/
position: relative;/*Change fixed with relative*/
top: 20px;
margin:0 auto;/*Add this*/
max-width: 400px;
}

why wont my containers extend to encompass my content?

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.

HTML "bring to front" not using z-index

Is there a possiblility to bring a html element to front without increasing it's z-index? All elements having the same z-index overlap depending on there order in the DOM. I could remove the element and append it to it's parent again - but is there any nicer solution?
Edit:
Keeping an array of all rects, set all rect's z-index to x and the just hovered to x+1 does the trick, but needs an array.
It would probably work if you wrote your HTML code from bottom positioning to top, since the browser reads the code from the top of the file to the bottom. Still, using z-index is a lot safer and more efficient.
