I am trying to put a ribbon that is as wide as my content but 'spill' the sides over to the body. Example here. This is the HTML I have so far. There are three images: the middle part of the ribbon and then two sides. I put the middle part in the h1 and now I am trying to line up the sides.
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="leftside">
</div>
<div id="rightside">
</div>
<div id="content">
<header>
<h1>This is the body of the ribbon</h1>
</header>
</div>
</div>
</body>
My shot at the CSS. I've been experimenting and this does what I need it to but I am sure there are a million better solutions. I want to know what the best practice would be for this since I am sure I'm kind of breaking a lot of rules here.
#container {
width: 825px;
min-height: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#left {
background-image: url(side.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 59px;
height: 48px;
position: absolute;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: -58px;
}
#right {
background-image: url(side.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 59px;
height: 48px;
position: absolute;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 825px;
}
#content {
width: 825px;
min-height: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(other.jpg) repeat;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
top:0;
overflow: auto;
}
h1 {
text-indent: -9999px;
background-image: url(banner.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin-top: 0;
height: 48px;
}
There definitely are a million ways to accomplish this. The best approach will depend greatly on how your site progresses.
What it comes down to is relative and absolute positioning.
One way to accomplish this is to structure your site something like so:
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="ribboncenter"></div>
<div id="ribbon1"></div>
<div id="ribbon2"></div>
</div>
<div id="content">
Your content
</div>
<div id="footer">
Your footer
</div>
</body>
That's very loose frameworking for a typical site. The CSS would be something like so:
#header{
width:800px; //Subjective to however big you want your site
margin:0 auto; //Positions the header in the center
position:relative; //Tells nested absolute elements to base their positions on this
}
#ribbon1, #ribbon2{
position:absolute; //Position is now based on #header and is pulled from the regular DOM flow
width:50px; //Subjective to whatever the width of your "ribbon" is
top:10px; //Subjective to how far down from the top of #header you want it
}
#ribboncenter{
width:100%; //Sets width to the width of #header
background:url(ribboncenter.png); //Subjective to image
#ribbon1{
left:-50px; //Subjective to the width of the image, moves it 50px left of #header
background:url(my-ribbon1.png); //Subjective to whatever your image is
}
#ribbon2{
right:-50px; //Subjective to the width of the image, movesit 50px right of #header
background:url(my-ribbon2.png); //Subjective to whatever your image is
}
Here's the example http://jsfiddle.net/NZ8EN/
This is all very loose but hopefully gives you an idea of the direction to take.
There are definitely other ways to solve this as well.
Try putting the #right and #left divs inside the #content div, give #content a position of relative (so that it becomes the parent reference for the children #left and #right) and position absolutely the #left and #right:
HTML:
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<div id="leftside"></div>
<div id="rightside"></div>
<header>
<h1>This is the body of the ribbon</h1>
</header>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
#left {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: -59px;
}
#right {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 59px;
}
Unless you're supporting IE7, I'd probably go with something like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/G5jkt/
This is the CSS you'd need to add:
h1 {
position: relative;
}
h1:before {
content: '';
height: 100%;
left: -59px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
background-image: url(side.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 59px;
}
h1:after {
content: '';
width: 59px;
height: 100%;
background-image: url(side.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
right: -59px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
}
And you've have to change your HTML like so:
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<header>
<h1>Hello Here</h1>
</header>
<div>
</div>
Using :before and :after helps remove design specific HTML from the document and gets the job done.
The key is using absolute positioning. In your example, you have your ribbon ends at the top of the page -- they have no relationship with the H1 you're trying to base their position off of.
The easiest way to do this would be dropping the HTML responsible for this ribbon ends within the H1. This, however, is not semantically the best. You could add a wrapper around the ribbon ends AND the H1, but that's extra markup.
By using :after and :before, you're using the H1 as the parent since it has a position of relative, and absolutely positioning the pseudo :before and :after elements relative to that H1. This is ideal since the pseudo elements can now inherit things like the height, background color, etc.

I'm making a div that I want to say "Banner" with a larger "BANNER" in grey behind it. Kind of like a water-mark. But the positioning is wrong and the browser is rendering the 'water-mark' on top of the banner text.
.banner {
position: absolute;
height: 10%;
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
color: red;
vertical-align: top;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: -1;
}
.wrapper {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.foreground {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 2em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
top: 0;
text-align: center;
z-index: 2;
}
.background {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
top: 0;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
color: lightgrey;
font-size: 7em;
z-index: 1;
}
<div class="banner">
<div class="wrapper">
<div style="position:absolute; width:100%">
<p class="foreground">Banner!</p>
</div>
<div style="position:absolute; width:100%">
<p class="background">BANNER!</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
For reasons I don't want to go into here, banner needs to keep it's position: absolute (Sorry if that's too restrictive)
Otherwise we're free to play around with it. I would like the water mark to be slightly overflowing from the top and bottom of the banner div or at least flush with the top.
But most importantly I need the water-mark behind the foreground divs content.
Thank for any help! I prefer a CSS solution but JS would be appreciated too. PS here's a jsfiddle if you prefer that.
EDIT I fixed the height issue by putting margin-top:-5% which I tried before, but with a percentage WAY too high. Apparently it goes of the height of the page not it's parent. Perhaps because it's position:absolute. Thanks for your help!
If you want it to appear in a different order, change the order of your html. You can then also get rid of the z-indexes. So:
<div class="banner">
<div class="wrapper">
<div style="position:absolute; width:100%">
<p class="background">BANNER!</p>
</div>
<div style="position:absolute; width:100%">
<p class="foreground">Banner!</p>
</div>
</div>
Alternatively / additionally:
If you need it to be a watermark, why not add some opacity of like 0.3 to .background? That does not actually put it behind the text, but makes it appear like a watermark.
Working in this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/0srj5hus/1/
I'm trying to make some header for my website and another div below it, to contain a colored rectangle. Is it possible? I tried it like this so far, but no luck:
.logo {
width: 100%;
left: 0%;
right: 0%;
position: absolute;
}
<div class="logo" onclick="location.href='<%= DefaultPath %>'" style="height:15%; top:0%; background-image:url('<%= LogoPath %>'); background-size: 100% 100%; background-repeat:no-repeat">
</div>
<div style="padding:0%">123</div>
The div that contains "123" should be below the header div. How can I do this?
First of all you should not use so much inline styles. rather use it within a css class (like you did for some code in .logo)
you could use something like this to achieve your positioning:
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color: grey;
background-image: url('');
background-position: center center;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
.numbers {
margin-top: 50px;
height: 100px;
background-color: blue;
width: 100%;
}
and the html is simply this:
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="numbers">123</div>
you would simply place your relative container with a margin-top with the height of your absolute container
i don't really like those absolute px solutions with margins.
if this header should always look like this ( with the triangle and the numbers etc) i would suggest to wrap those two containers into one absolute container and position them both relative like you can find here:
.wrapper {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.header {
display: block;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color: grey;
}
.numbers {
height: 100px;
background-color: blue;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="numbers">123</div>
</div>
The div below, in this scenario, would need the have a margin-top value equal to the height of the absolute positioned div.
<div class="logo" onclick="location.href='<%= DefaultPath %>'" style="height:100px; top:0%; background-image:url('<%= LogoPath %>'); background-size: 100% 100%; background-repeat:no-repeat">
123
Not easy to fix... if you set something absolutely, like you logo there, you break it out of the document flow. Hence, the rest of the page won't care where it is and cannot place itself next to it. It will just be under or over it.
You could detect the position of the logo with javascript and place the other one next to it if it too is aboslute.
I THINK you want to set the logo to position: fixed instead, and add margin-top to the body, so that it always starts where the logo ends. That way the logo would always be on top and follow you when you scroll, and the body wont be covered by the logo.
I would like to put footer on the bottom of the page (or bottom of the screen, if page is shorter than a screen). I am using code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header-wrapper">
...
</div> <!--header-wrapper-->
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="body-wrapper">
<div class="row960">
<div class="menu">...</div>
<div class="content">...</div>
</div> <!--row960-->
</div> <!--body-wrapper-->
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="footer-wrapper" class="gray">
</div> <!--footer-wrapper-->
</div> <!--wrapper-->
and css:
.clear{
clear:both;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
visibility:hidden;
width:0;
height:24px;
margin:0px
}
html, body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body{
background-color: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
}
#wrapper{
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
#header-wrapper{
height: 100px;
}
#body-wrapper{
padding-bottom: 50px;
}
#footer-wrapper{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
.row960{
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
overflow: auto;
}
#menu{
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
.content{
width: 740px;
margin-left: 20px;
float: right;
}
The problem is that footer is on the bottom of the screen even if the page is longer than a screen (it covers a text). I've checked it with Firebug and body-wrapper has right height, but row960 has height of screen instead of height of page. I can't figure out how to fix it. Does any one have idea what to do?
You can see my page on http://www.domenblenkus.com/fiap/notice.php
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I don't know if I emphasized it enough, so I would like to point it out that the main problem is that height of row960 is not right.
Hmmm, I think I have a solution that fits the requirements you stated. There are certainly other ways to do this though, so you can keep looking around if you don't agree with this method. (Also, when I looked on your site it appeared that your #wrappper element was a sibling of #footer-wrapper, and not a parent.)
So, the HTML would look like (structure copied from your site):
<div id="wrappper">
<div id="header-wrapper" class="gray">
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="body-wrapper"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer-wrapper" class="gray"></div>
Note the addition of the .spacer element at the bottom of #wrappper, it's required for this approach of the "sticky footer".
Now, CSS you'll need to add (add to any current definitions if you already have them):
body, html{
height: 100%;
}
#wrappper{
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -50px;
height: auto;
}
.spacer{
height: 50px;
}
If you're wondering why I chose 50px for the height, it's because that's the height of your footer element, #footer-wrapper.
Anyways, I only really tested this in the Firebug console, so I'm not sure how it will behave in a live environment, but I'm fairly certain this will give you what you want. If this isn't what you were looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to help further!
If you want it at the bottom, then you don't need the position:absolute or bottom:0, it will be at the bottom of your div anyway.
You can try doing it using margin. Here is a fiddle of what I'm taking about: http://jsfiddle.net/8WLyP/
Basically for your HTML, place all your content inside a "container" element and then your footer will be a sibling of that element.
Then in your CSS what you will need is to give them html and body elements a min-height: 100%
You "container" element will also have min-height: 100%
You will then need to give your footer a heightof X, in my example it's 50 pixels.
The "container" element will need to have margin-bottom: -50px or whatever value you give the height of the footer.
With all that done, make sure you don't give "container" and "footer" any other margins or paddings than the ones shown, if you need to give them, then you will need to give it to the child elements, in my example p element.
With this technique, as opposed to position: fixed the footer will stick to the bottom of the window if the content is too short, and it will move with the content when the content is bigger than the window/viewport.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<header>
<p>Header</p>
</header>
<section>
<p>Section</p>
</section>
</div>
<footer>
<p>Footer</p>
</footer>
CSS:
html, body, header, footer, section, p, div {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
p {
padding: 5px 10px;
}
header {
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
color: #fff;
}
section {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background :#0f0;
color: #fff;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -50px;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
background :#00f;
color: #fff;
height: 50px;
}
You want to place the footer at the bottom of the content. BUT: You want to have it at the bottom of the viewport (window) if the content above it is shorter.
So, try this:
the CSS:
#footer-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
#body-wrapper {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
… and the JavaScript (jQuery):
var bodyWrap = $('#body-wrapper'),
footerWrap = $('#footer-wrapper'),
windowHeight = $(window).height();
var heightRemaining = parseInt(windowHeight - bodyWrap.outherHeight() - footerWrap.outerHeight());
if (heightRemaining > 0) bodyWrap.css('min-height', heightRemaining);
Didn't test it due to little time.
Give it a try.
This is my first time on this forum and ill try to be clear as possible, i have a problem with creating a small website for my own, specifically with the header. Im trying to create a page which has a wrapper of 1024px center (margin: 0 auto;) and i would like 2 divs, on both sides of this wrapper where i can use another picture as background. My current css looks like this:
body, html
background: url(../images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top center;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#wrapper
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1024px;
}
#header {
width: 1024px;
height: 254px;
background-image: url(../images/header2.png);
background-repeat: none;
position: relative;
}
#header_right {
width: 50%;
right: 0;
background-image: url(../images/header_right2.png);
position: absolute;
height: 254px;
}
#header_left {
width: 50%;
left: 0px;
background-image: url(../images/header_left.png);
position: absolute;
background-position: right;
margin-left: -512px;
height: 254px;
}
and my html looks like:
<body>
<div id="header_right"></div><!--End header right!-->
<div id="header_left"></div><!--End header right!-->
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div><!--End header!-->
<div id="content"></div><!--End Content!-->
</div><!--End wrapper!-->
</body>
What i'm trying to accomplish is to have a header that continues on both left and right (both headers use different backgrounds), in this case it does work on the left, because im using a negative margin, since i use 50% width and exactly the half of the wrapper (-512px), this works, but if i would try to use a negative margin on the right (margin-right: -512px) this will extend the page on the right with an extra 512px, which is not my intention.
I've been googling all day but can't seem to find any answer to my question, also tried to make 3 divs with float: left , but couldnt figure out how to make 1 in the center with a width of 1024px and the rest 100% width, if anyone could help me out that would be really appreciated.
Kind regards
I am not entirely sure how you want it to look like, but I'll give it a shot.
If I'm way off, perhaps you could provide me with a schematic of sorts?
In any case, the example given below does not use your specific code, but it should give you an idea of how it's done.
Result:
The left and right headers are "infinite", in that they always fill the entire page's width.
The middle header covers up the rest. If you've got background images you can use background-position to position them so that they align with the middle header's left and right edges.
Code | JSFiddle example
HTML
<div class='side_wrapper'>
<div class='left_header'></div><div class='right_header'></div>
</div>
<div class='header'></div>
<div class='content'>
Content here
</div>
CSS
.header, .side_wrapper, .left_header, .right_header{
height: 100px;
}
.header, .content{
width: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.side_wrapper{
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.left_header, .right_header{
width: 50%;
display: inline-block;
}
.left_header{
background-color: blue;
}
.right_header{
background-color: lightblue;
}
.header{
position:absolute;
top: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -200px;
background-color: red;
}
.content{
background-color: green;
text-align: center;
}
You want the two header out of the wrappper and aside of it right?
If im right, try this:
<body>
<div id="header_left"></div><!--End header right!-->
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div><!--End header!-->
<div id="content"></div><!--End Content!-->
</div><!--End wrapper!-->
<div id="header_right"></div><!--End header right!-->
</body>
and :
display: inline; float: left;
in each element(header-left, header-right, wrappper), and get out of the negative margin
In you divs use float:left; this should mean that within a wrapper as long as there is enough space they will float next to each other for example
css:
#divWrapper
{
width:500px;
float:left;
background-color:red;
}
#divLeft
{
width:250px;
float:left;
background-color:blue;
}
#divRight
{
width:250px;
float:left;
background-color:green;
}
Html
<div id "divWrapper">
<div id = "divLeft">content here</div>
<div id = "divRight">content here</div>
</div><!--this is the end of the wrapper div -->

I have a row of icons that need to be at the bottom of the page, they also need to be fixed. Simple, right? Not. When you position them fixed, the icons fall into one another so only one icon shows. Well there goes that, but there also goes the chance of placing them at the bottom of the page since I need
#icons {
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
}
I could always manually place them, but this means they cant be fixed like I need them too, and I would have to declare it for different browsers. Help?
Link to website: Roseannebarr.tumblr.com
Here is an example of my HTML
<div id="outer">
{block:Photo}
<img id="block" src="http://static.tumblr.com/ux4v5bf/vYSlebvt2/photo.png">
<div id="tooltip">
{LinkOpenTag}<img id="photo" src="{PhotoURL-500}" alt="{PhotoAlt}" />{LinkCloseTag}
{block:Caption}<div class="caption">{Caption}</div>{/block:Caption}
</div>
{/block:Photo}
</div>
Fixed position is what it says, 'fixed', and you are using the same position for all of them.
The best way is not to use position:fixed in #outer, instead try with display:inline; and better yet, I see they are inside #holder, use fixed in #holder and modify #tooltip so it can be shown above because it is what is showing the content.
For example:
#holder {
bottom: 0px;
left: -382.5px;
margin: 0px auto 0px 50%;
margin-left: 50%;
position: fixed;
width: 765px;
}
#tooltip {
background: #6CB4E2;
border-top: 30px solid white;
display: none;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -382px;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 51px;
width: 745px;
}
#outer {
background: #6CB4E2;
bottom: 0px;
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-top: -8px;
}
I would wrap your icons in a div like this:
<div id="myicons_container">
<img src="icon1.gif">
<img src="icon2.gif">
<img src="icon3.gif">
<img src="icon4.gif">
<img src="icon5.gif">
</div>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#myicons_container {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
</style>
Edit : Per your comment, I would suggest re-writing your code to collect the icons in a container element. But, you might get away with this (haven't tested in any browsers):
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.block {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
</style>
Note: you have to give floated items a width and height.
One other note, in your code, you will have multiple elements with the same ID attribute. This is a no-no. You'll need to change it to a class like I've done in the CSS above.
