I am using Twitter bootstrap for my portfolio site. The fluid layout seems to work up to a certain point, but there are a few issues with the home page.
Once I go smaller than about 997px, the nav menu disappears entirely. It almost looks like it drops down below the header bar and is hidden, but I can't seem to get it to show. It should actually switch to the mobile menu and remain in the upper right corner.
Also once you get down to smaller screen sizes, the "About Me" and "Contact" sections of the index page overlap each other. I'm sure this has to do with my structure somehow, but cannot find the problem.
Any bootstrap experts know what might be causing these issues?
Here is a link to the test version of the site. http://theiamzone.com/kyle_hagler/portfolio-site
From the source code I view from the site,
I Found out that you lacked of jquery file.
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js">
Put it and see if the dropdown work.
And for the About Us and Contact Us part.
A method you can try is put container to wrap them all, read from here for more information.
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#layouts
From my point of view in about us section, try no to wrap the 2 span 6 column,
Use the following code instead.
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12">
<div class="span6"></div>
<div class="span6"></div>
</div>
</div>
Same situation happen on the contact us section,
the css class aren't assigned for them to work.

I'm currently in a web design class to learn to code, but I have been struggling with a code and cannot figure it out for the life of me.
I have my portfolio website I'm currently working on and cannot figure out how to get the background color of my main section to go all the way to the page. If you look in the attached screenshot, my main section won't go to the bottom of the page. I have tried height: 100% and height: 100vh with no luck.

Coding is to much to post because I'm not even sure what could be causing it...however, the website link is here if you could look at the page source:

Any help would be amazing! I've been trying to figure this out for hours now.
Wrap you sections side by side inside a div and give it the property display:flex
<div style="display: flex;">
<section class="secondary-page"></section>
<aside class="resume"></aside>
</div>
Doing it you 'll notice inmediate changes (including what you are looking for) but the order of the sections will be changed... Then, You can get rid of float that it's not at all the best option for your goals... specially if badly used (you don't use float right to an element and float left to the other... both need same direction).

I am building a small blog based on metalsmith and the PureCSS framework, which has a simple three-row-layout like so:
<div class="pure-g">
<div class="pure-u-1"> Navbar </div>
<div class="pure-u-1"> Content </div>
<div class="pure-u-1"> Footer </div>
</div>
As I am still learning a lot new stuff about CSS and responsive design I am wondering if a navbar should be put into a grids row as well or if it should reside outside of it. The PureCSS documentation states the following:
All content which is visible to people needs to be contained inside a
grid unit. This ensures that the content will be rendered properly.
This would make it a yes, as a navigation menu is of course visible to the user. However doesn't that make handling of media queries more complicated for the navbar? So where should I put my navbar to, when using responsive grids?
No. Navbar should not necessarily be within the grid. The main purpose of using grids is to make the content look better and proper. It also aids the programmer in deciding how many blocks of the grid to allot to a certain element.
However, since a Navbar goes all the way across the page, there is no reason to assign it a grid size. It should always be 100%.
If you are building a blog app, then only your content should be within your grid system so as to properly render the elements. From what I've seen, a footer also generally stretches all the way across the window.
You can use grid. Managing and handling contents and components would be easier and rendering in different browsers would be more stable.
I have been working on making a site responsive for a client. The client wants the left menu to drop to the bottom when the site collapses down. All pages work this way and here is an example:
Page working correctly
However, there is one page that is 3 columns (all others are two columns) that isn't working properly and here is the example:
Not working correctly
Right now the structure of the page not working correctly is:
<div class="content-column-left" id="bio-nav"></div>
<div class="content-column-center"></div>
<div class="content-column-right"></div>
I have noted that if I rearrange the columns in Developer tools so they sit like this:
<div class="content-column-center"></div>
<div class="content-column-right"></div>
<div class="content-column-left" id="bio-nav"></div>
I can then add a float:left and a width=21% to the #bio-nav and then a float:right to the other two divs and I get what I want on collapse, but it looks terrible at full screen.
How do I make this work so that that column with the navigation collapses to the bottom like the other pages? I am willing to restructure things as needed. Thanks!
EDIT: I made a small change to the structure and adjusted so the widths are percentages. At this point the right column refuses to collapse under the center column at all: Updated way site is collapsing
On that page the markup needs to be as follows:
<div class="content-column-right content-body content-right-team-member"></div>
<div class="content-column-center content-body content-body-team-member"></div>
<div class="content-column-left" id="bio-nav></div>
Then
.content-column-right
needs to be
float:right
Then
.content-column-center
needs to be
float:right
Then (I think this one is okay as is)
.content-column-left
needs to be:
float: left
Anything after that your just going to have to mess with it
I'm new to html/html5, but not to programming, and i'm trying to code my personal website. I've read many resources and tutorials on the basics but I'm looking for some tips on how to begin achieving the layout I want.
In my layout (here) I'm looking to have the left half of my page as a fixed navigation panel with an image highlighting the current page, then with each option the right side refreshes to a new independently scrolling page and the highlight image animates in the nav panel to the new option.
How should I begin to achieve something like this? I just need a push in the right direction to the type of elements/scripts/whatever I will need to implement.
Thank you!
Here is a simple example to help you start out:
jsFiddle
You'll notice the text on the right slides out of the screen when you scroll but the green box stays in the same position. This is done with a slight bit of CSS.
The navigation div on the left is styled with position: fixed;. This keeps the navigation div in one place at all times.
In contrast, the content div on the right is styled with position: absolute; with a left: 25% set. The widths of the navigation div and content div are set in percentages. This allows the content to take up the same relative screen space whether the window is larger or smaller. Your content will adapt to your viewers resolution.
Using an <iframe> will is one possible solution to altering the content in the right hand content div. Another would be to use ajax but that is getting a little more advanced as you now must understand client and server scripting in order to receive the full benefits from it.
iFrame
Ajax
If you're information is static and will not change often, you could considering making a single page web app with multiple templates that are appended to the content div.
jQuery
jQuery Templates Plugin
jQuery is really good as well for learning JavaScript and makes building dynamic client side applications a breeze.
They also have ajax support as well:
jQuery Ajax
Hope this helps.
Good luck and Happy Coding!
You have the menu housed within an element that is set to position: fixed;
Position fixed will make sure the menu doesn't move around on the page regardless of scrolling the rest.
Then with javascript you can add an event listener for "scroll" on the window (or just the div you want to watch for scrolling). When this fires, check the scrollY property to see what range it is in and maybe highlight certain items in your menu.
Hopefully this leads you down the right path. It's a broad question, so here's a broad answer!
I second the suggestion from #Jeromy French -- I think Bootstrap , Foundation and other responsive frameworks have a lot going for them.
Here's an example using Bootstrap: http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/2dF6s/
In addition to being HTML5, you can get a layout which works on everything from smartphones to wide desktops. It's not the only way to get a mobile friendly website, but it's one of several good options.
I think that with so much moving towards smartphones and tablets now, the more you can learn about responsive and mobile websites, the better off you will be in the future.
I think all the responsive frameworks use a grid based system, here's what the HTML looks like with Bootstrap:
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid" align="center">
<div class="span12">
<h1>Header</h1>
</div><!-- close span12 -->
</div> <!-- close row -->
<div class="row">
<div class="span3" id="side-nav" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="200">
<h5>Option 1</h5>
<h5>Option 2</h5>
<h5>Option 3</h5>
<h5>Option 4</h5>
</div> <!-- end span3 -->
<div class="span9">
<p>Main Content Here </p>
</div> <!-- end span9 -->
</div><!-- end row -->
</div><!-- end containter -->
Good luck!
I a situation I run into often, but my homebrew methods don't stack up to a good solution.
What I'd like to do is to have a menu beside a logo, while being responsive.
It looks like so
=======
logo =
==============Menu=======================
===============================================
The way my html looks is like so
<div id="logo">
<img src=""... />
</div>
<div id="menu">
<ul>...
</ul>
</div>
Now I want to position the menu at the bottom of the logo, but I have no idea how to do it. I can use margins, but than, once the responsiveness kicks in on mobile browsers and then the menu goes under the logo, there will be a large margin there too.
How would I deal with this?
Try to use responsive-design framework such as zurb-foundation it will offer you this requirement easily. Look at this example on its official documentation about Top Bar
