map and fixed side bar with bootstrap - html

I'm using bootstrap to do a simple version of something like this: http://techlist.in/
Basically, I want to have a map and a right side bar with a fixed size and fixed position.
I've started with something like:
HTML:
...
<div class="container">
<div class="span10">
<div id="map_canvas">
</div>
</div>
<div class="span2" style="position:fixed; right:0">
Some stuff
</div>
</div>
...
CSS:
#map_canvas {
display:block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-top:40px; /* used for the top navigation bar */
}
But this is not working as expected, as the map remains 100% width and the "some stuff" label appears on top of the map. Any hints?
UPDATE
In fact, I already have the nav-bar, but I did not detailed it in the code, my bad. So basically the whole structure of the html page is (with the missing row div added):
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span10">
<div id="map_canvas">
</div>
</div>
<div class="span2" style="position:fixed; right:0">
Some stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- include javascript stuff -->
...
</body>
The css file is:
#map_canvas {
display:block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;
height: 90%
width: 80%;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-top:40px;
margin-right:200px;/* used for the top navigation bar */
background: #ccc;
}
If a leave 200px of right margin for the map, how can I fill the margin with the sidebar ?
Basically, I need a side bar of 200px width and the map adapting accordingly on screen resizing.
UPDATE 3
I'm wondering if I really need to use container / row to achieve this layout in fact (I still do not manage to have this working as expected). As I only need to have a map and a sidebar (that should always remain on the right of the map even if the window is resized), would it make some sense to use basic div / css and not bootstrap classes ?
This is basically what I needed: http://jsfiddle.net/kuXYq/4/

have a look at this fiddle I made it might help.
http://jsfiddle.net/eKQGD/
I used percentages to keep things the same
#map_canvas {
display:block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;
height: 90%
width: 80%;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-top:40px;
margin-right:150px;/* used for the top navigation bar */
background: #ccc;
}

There are a few parts to the answer to this question.
The first thing to point out is that it's a little hazy as to why there is the requirement of a "fixed size and position", and by that I mean that the terminology being used may be throwing off your thinking a bit. Typically, you only need to use the "fixed" css position property if you plan on the page having scroll bars and you want the element to stay in the same position on the page no matter what. In this case, it doesn't seem like you want page scrolling at all since the map will appear to be the same size as the entire page. It seems like what you really want on the sidebar is for it to be a fixed height (aka the height of the browser window) with overflow set to scroll.
Secondly, it appears that you're missing a <div class="row"></div> tag around your elements - a tag with a "row" class is necessary to make the bootstrap "span" classes work.
Lastly, here is something that I would go with if I was trying to duplicate the link you posted, using a bit of JS love as well: http://jsfiddle.net/kzBkA/5/ (background colors added just to show what it looks like )
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="span10">
<div id="nav_bar">
Nav bar goes here
</div>
<div id="map_canvas">
test
</div>
</div>
<div class="span2">
<div id="sidebar">
Some stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
css:
#nav_bar {
height:40px;
background-color:blue;
}
#map_canvas {
background-color:green;
}
#sidebar{
background-color:red;
overflow-y:auto;
}
js:
$(function(){
$("#map_canvas").height($(window).height() - 40);
$("#sidebar").height($(window).height());
});
UPDATE:
So - again, first off, I encourage you to reconsider your use of fixed elements. You seem to be trying to build a page that won't scroll, but then using a "positioning" feature that's specifically for scrolling (position:fixed), which basically tells all your nice bootstrap code to be ignored and just put it where you tell it. A much nicer way to do this would be to use Bootstrap to your advantage. I changed the row class to row-fluid, I moved your nav bar into the span10 with the map (since that's how wide you actually want the nav, or at least that's how it was in the example), I removed the "navbar-fixed-top" class since you don't actually need things to be fixed, and removed the fixed positioning from the sidebar (since again that's basically making it ignore what you're trying to do). Check out the updated jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kzBkA/7/ - you may have to tinker with the JS to get the map_canvas div set with the correct height, but otherwise this should take care of making your page fluid when the browser is resized without having to add a ton of unnecessary CSS rules. In general, if you use a scaffolding framework, you should use it to your advantage to avoid creating cluttered, messy css with lots of "width:80%; height:20%; margin: ..." - the whole point of using the framework and scaffolding was to avoid that kind of code :)
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span10">
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="navbar-inner">
navbar
</div>
</div>
<div id="map_canvas">
map goes here
</div>
</div>
<div class="span2" id="sidebar">
Some stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
max-width:100%;
}
#map_canvas {
background-color:green;
}
#sidebar{
background-color:red;
overflow-y:auto;
}
JS:
$(function(){
$("#map_canvas").height($(window).height() - 40);
$("#sidebar").height($(window).height());
});
UPDATE 2
Just realized I missed the part about the sidebar always being 200px but the map width being fluid. I've updated the fiddle to reflect that as well as updating so that sizes get reset when window is resized - http://jsfiddle.net/kzBkA/9/
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span10 left-col">
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="navbar-inner">
navbar
</div>
</div>
<div id="map_canvas">
map goes here
</div>
</div>
<div class="span2 right-col" id="sidebar">
Some stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
max-width:100%;
}
#map_canvas {
background-color:green;
}
#sidebar{
background-color:red;
overflow-y:auto;
}
.right-col{
width:200px;
}
JS:
$(function(){
resizeElements();
window.onresize = function(event) {
resizeElements();
}
});
function resizeElements(){
//set height
$("#map_canvas").height($(document).height() - $(".navbar").outerHeight() - 20 /*not sure where this is coming from, possibly the scrollbar?*/);
$("#sidebar").height($(document).height());
//set width of left col
$(".left-col").width($(document).width() - $(".right-col").outerWidth() - 20 /*not sure where this is coming from, possibly the scrollbar?*/)
}

Is there a way to make 3 divs side by side and responsive with Bootstrap 4?

I need a way to put 3 divs side by side. The Left side one will have text, the middle one will have image and the right side will have text. I also want it responsive to it could be mobile friendly. Is there a way to do that? Whenever I try using flexbox or css-grid, it keeps becoming 2 divs or I can't put any images. I also got a flexbox is not defined error message. Can you help me?
Here is the code I tried
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- CSS property to place div
side by side -->
<style>
#leftbox {
float:left;
background:Red;
width:25%;
height:280px;
}
#middlebox{
float:left;
background:Green;
width:50%;
height:280px;
}
#rightbox{
float:right;
background:blue;
width:25%;
height:280px;
}
h1{
color:green;
text-align:center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "boxes">
<div id = "leftbox">
Text
</div>
<div id = "middlebox">
I can't put an image here.
</div>
<div id = "rightbox">
Box 3
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You have to define col-count that one div will take (see code below).
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">first</div>
<div class="col-4">second</div>
<div class="col-4">third</div>
</div>
</div>
Try this :
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="col">This div takes up 1/3 of the available width on a desktop</div>
<div class="col">This div takes up 1/3 of the available width on a desktop</div>
<div class="col">This div takes up 1/3 of the available width on a desktop</div>
</div>

When Zooming out my website, everything looks wrong

If you zoom out my website, the structure of the header looks bad. I don't know what to do about this. This is the link of my website. This is the CSS and HTML structure. Hope you can help me, I really need help :(
If you want you header to stay in the centre with your content, you will need t do that, it doesn't just happen.
You should start by agreeing on a width you want you content in (you have width: 1100pxon your container div, so I'll go with that for you.)
In you css for .containerchange width: 1100px; to max-width: 1100px.
Then in the css for #header remove the position: absolute;. Add in max-width: 1100px; margin: 0 auto;
You will need to modify the structure of your HTML and place the header div inside the container div. Currently, that part of your HTML is like this:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="navigationposition"></div>
<div id="position"></div>
</div>
but it should be like this instead:
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="navigationposition"></div>
<div id="position"></div>
</div>
After modifying your HTML, you can add the following CSS to your stylesheet:
#header {
margin-left: -100px;
}
your header is positioned absolute
so when you zoom in and out it will stay absolute positioned. In the top left corner when the page is zoomed out
Also you do not have a wrapper for your code.... you may want to wrap everything in a container,
This will also take care of the image size thats over lapping your other content.
I do not know id you wanted the header to overlap like that but if it was intended just use margin-left
a wrapper will also contain your other divs sizes to stay within that wrapper.
Not going to work with zooming in and out
#header {
position:absolute;
z-index:101
}
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="underheader">
</div>
</div>
</body>
css
#wrapper{
width:800px;
} or whatever width you want
#header{
maegin-left:50px;
} or whatever px you desire

How to overlap sidebar on top of nav-bar

Sorry, I couldn't post images without a higher reputation, so I linked them below:
PSD:
HTML:
Okay, the PSD screenshot is of what I want the alignment to do.
And the HTML screenshot is it's current form.
As you can tell, the sidebar is currently below the orange bar (nav) and the grey bar (banner). I know there is a way to make its position absolute and overlay it on top, but seeing that this is built on a responsive grid, I think that would ruin it.
Does anyone know of anyway to overlap the sidebar like it is shown in the psd without ruining the responsiveness?
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks!
Code:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<header> content </header>
</div>
</div>
<nav> content </nav>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9">
<section>
<!-- Services Section Content -->
</section>
<services>
<!-- Clients Section Content -->
</section>
<section>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<!-- Sidebar -->
</div>
Using position:absolute would not ruin your responsive layout if you edit your media queries to compensate.
Alternately, try a negative margin on the sidebar element and set the z-index to be higher than the top bar element. Example:
header {
width:100%;
height:100px;
background:#ccc;
z-index:100;
}
.col-sm-9 {
width:200px;
height:500px;
margin:-50px 0 0 0;
background:#000;
z-index:200;
}
Have a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/68ANR/
It will perfectly works.Try it because position:absolute give the position to the main div or the parent div.
.col-sm-9 {
position:absolute;
left:/*give here from left*/px;
top:/*give here from top*/px;
width:200px;
height:500px;
background:#000;
z-index:200;
}
Hope the answer !

absolute positioning on Ipad

I'm working in a web site, but it's the first time that a client ask me for ipad compatibility. So I started to work like usual but at the moment to see the result on the ipad there are some objects that i can't put in the correct position.
I already tried to change all my absolute positioning with margins and paddings, but this part(image above) does not work, when i change the position the content stay in the same place.
The current web site
The current css
But the important part is here:
<div id="super-wrapper">
<div id="wrapper">
<!-- Some Divs -->
<div id="content" class="open">
<!--This menu will be hidden -->
<ul id="navigation-fans">
<li id="registrate"><span>Registrate</span></li>
<li id="crea-club"><span>club</span></li>
<li id="conoce-clubs"><span>clubs</span></li>
</ul>
<div id="close-open" class="open"></div>
<div id="title"></div>
<div id="real-content"></div>
</div>
<!-- Some Divs -->
</div>
</div>
css
#wrapper{
width:1024px;
height:768px;
margin: 10px auto;
position:relative;
background: url(../../pics/1.jpg) no-repeat;
overflow:hidden;
}
#content{
background-image:url('../images/secciones_fondo.png');
height:423px;
width:1024px;
display:block;
position:relative;
right:-374px;
padding-top:1px;
margin-top:143px;
}
/* This is the position of #content when is open */
element.style {
right: -374px;
}
Update
I found that the problem is jplayer, but i still don't know wich is the real problem, by the moment i disable it and it works.
it might be your super-wrapper tag that you are not assigning correct properties to. If you look at the code, super-wrapper is essentially holding the same as wrapper, correct? If so, wrapper could be inheriting properties from super-wrapper which you might not be what you want.
Hope this helps.

Display one element above another

Semantically it makes sense in the document to be written like this, I also imagine it better for SEO.
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
However, I want the 'main' section to be above the 'header' on screen.
Is there a way to do this using pure CSS?
One way is with a container and some absolute positioning.
http://jsfiddle.net/QpPh4/
.container
{
position:relative;
}
#main
{
position:absolute;
bottom:100%;
}
<br><br>
<div class="container">
<div id="header">Hi I'm a header</div>
<div id="main">Hi I'm the content</div>
</div>
