I am trying to override the width of #kontainer in my <li> list at the bottom. I want the .nav3 list to be full width, 100% but I cant override the 700px of the parent element, #kontainer
What can I do? I tried the !important; rule, but that didn't give me the results I wanted.
When specifying percentage width, it calculates based off the parent's width. So 100% of 700 is... 700.
You need to specify a pixel width if you want it to go over 700.
Solution 1: You can get .nav3 out of #kontainer
Solution 2: You can add position: absolute; left: 0; to .nav3 and then add some margin-top on #footer tu push it down.
Width 100% means get 100% of the parent element that the child is inside. It actually does what you said it to do! You can get nav3 out of the #kontainer to take the 100% of the body element.
I want the same thing, to override the parent width.
I'm developing a Joomla component
<div class="container mainbody"> //** width 1170px **//
<div>some content</div>
<div>some content</div>
</div>
I don't want to change the width (1170px) of the outer div or .container class because it is default in Joomla template, which will take effect in every page if I change.
In my case, I only need a 100% width for some child div in my website's home page for some design.
What I did is add css in home page html file, since it will not call in other page.
<div class="container mainbody">
<div class="container">some content, width 1170px</div>
<div>some content, width 100%</div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
.mainbody
{
width:100% !important;
}
</style>
For the div you want a full page width, you should use:
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
right 0px; //but make sure that any content you have below that div, gets margined in response.
margin-top: 200px; //Use the height of the above div
I have just noticed a "VERY" interesting (and bold) way of overriding the parent element's width. Set the child's width to something like:
width: calc(100% + 30%);
Believe it or not, at least Firefox 51 is calculating correctly the child's width, and yes, it is bigger than the parent's width.

I wanted to ask how I can define a div's minimum height in css.
For example if I am on a small screen and the line break has changed, the div should be automatically resized, but it should be at least 100%.
Just use min-height to keep the div height 100% or higher like this:
HTML:
<div class="someName">
<!-- child elements -->
</div>
CSS:
.someName {
min-height: 100%;
}
I know that position: fixed makes an element relative to the viewport instead of it's offsetParent however I have an issue where I have a side element which takes x amount of space and then some fixed position heading elements which I want to take up a percentage of the remaining viewport width.
See fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/U5DSZ/
Now I could put all the h1 element's into their own container but then they lose their semantic meaning as they are no longer associated with their content.
I understand JavaScript could do this but I am against using JavaScript for page structure.
Is there a way to do this in a purely HTML or CSS way? I don't mind moving the h1 element's as long as they retain their relationship with the content and the content remains statically positioned.
You can get the effect that you want as follows.
Your HTML snippet is good as is:
<div id="content">
<section>
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<p>...</p>
</section>
<section>
<h1>Heading 2</h1>
<p>...</p>
</section>
</div>
and the CSS is good but just requires some explanation:
#content {
overflow: visible; /* default, but important to notice */
}
section {
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
h1 {
position: fixed;
width: 25%;
background: #00FF00;
text-align: center;
}
and the demo fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/4zLMq/
How This Works
Your #content block takes up the remaining width to the right of your 200px left floated sidebar.
Within #content, you have two left-floated section elements that take up 25% of the parent container, which in this case, is the width of the view port panel.
Your child h1 elements have position: fixed, which means that their width of 25% is also computed based on the width of the viewport (not #content).
Case 1
If you want h1 and #content to have the same width, they need to have the same relative (25%) computed from the same containing block (view port in this case).
However, the value of 25% is not 25% of the remaining space after you account for the floated sidebar. However, maybe you can live with this.
Case 2
You could make the width values a bit easier to determine if you set the sidebar width to be a relative value. Using mixed units is always an issue.
tldr; Shorter and cleaner solution:
h1 {
width: inherit;
...
I stumbled upon this question, with a similar issue : my container's size can be user defined through resize:both (and moveable too!).
If I followed the accepted solution, it implied I had to apply the same props to my fixed header inside my container (top, left, width and height…).
Instead, inheriting the width from the parent container works properly. I found this way much simpler, and it makes more sense too, tested on major browsers and mobiles (demo).
I set body {margin: 0 auto; width: 900px;}
100% width of display
I want one of div (or section) inside that body to be 100% of display (not its parent 900px, but more).
What styles should be applied for this div?
<body>
<div>
900px width of this text
</div>
<div style="???">
the whole 100% length of display
</div>
</body>
I don't think you can do it if you set a width on <body>. I'd leave <body> alone and do something like:
div {
width: 900px;
}
div.fullwidth {
width: 100%;
}
and then make sure your content is a series of <div>s, some of which have class="fullwidth" (such elements need to be non-nested, since for a nested element "100%" will be interpreted as "100% of the containing element" which in turn works out to "100% of 900px").
If you want the <div> to be 100% of the screen width, you must set display property in CSS.
display:block;
An example.
You can set position:absolute; which would keep it from inheriting the width from the body.
I want to equal two divs height when a div height large
example :
<div style="float:left;padding:2px;background:red;">B</div>
<div style="float:left;padding:2px;background:green;">A<br />C<br />D</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
the Div 2 height larger then div one
I may have a possible solution for you:

Well, it'll probably work on ie7+ so I'm not sure if that's good enough for you.
Brief description:
1) Set position relative to the container and self-clear it (I've used overflow: hidden but you can also use clearfix).
2) Float one of the divs inside so the container will expand depending on content inside.
3) Set position absolute to one of your divs, and give it top and bottom position 0px, this will make sure that it has 100% height.
Cons:
- Lack of IE6 support
- You need to chose which div will always have less content and then position in absolute
Hope it helps!
This is typically the behavior of a table, so you can do this with display: table-cell. I based an example on Adaz's : http://jsfiddle.net/L2uX4/
Wrap the two div's whose height you are trying to equalize in a container div, i.e.
<div id="container">
<div class="column">A<br/>B</div>
<div class="column">C</div>
</div>
Set an explicit height on the container and set height=100% on the columns:
div#container {
float: left;
height: 10em;
}
div.column {
height: 100%;
background-color: red;
}
I have a container div that has the height of my body which is 100%
#pageContainer{
width:800px;
margin:auto;
height:inherit;
}
inside it i have second div positioned absolutely
<div style="position:absolute;opacity:.05;background-color:white;width:inherit;height:100%;"></div>
So my page looks like this:
<body>
<div id="pageContainer">
<div style="position:absolute;opacity:.05;background-color:white;width:inherit;height:100%;"></div>
<div>some content here</div>
</div>
</body>
So the problem is the absolutely positioned div has height equal to the screen size, not the page, another words when page is heigher than the visible screen, when I scroll down the div is not expanding to the full height of the parent div (pageContainer). I have tried the top:0px;bottom:0px; as well and it doesn't work. Any one knows what's the trick here?
Javascript: You'd either use jQuery via .height() or EqualHeight,
or
CSS: you'd do something like this: CSS equal columns
You have to set the height of each element in the hierarchy to make it expand like this.
Try something like:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
Setting the height of the html element is the one that I generally forget to do. It is usually also be necessary to set the #pageContainer height to 100%, although you have it inheriting from the body, so in this case you're okay.
Try adding position:relative; to your #pageContainer. Currently, the absolutely positioned div is taking it's position from the window and not the container div.
