Transparent Header overflown by main div - html

I have been looking for an answer to this question all over the interwebs, but I just can't find the answer.. I have a transparent header filled with a background image that is the same as my background, and I want my main div to scroll underneath it so the text is hidden. Here is the HTML:
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="top">
<!-- This is my header -->
</div>
<div class="main">
[.....]
</div>
And here is the CSS:
.top {
background-image:url("http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9215/headerqrk.png") no-repeat top center fixed;
margin-top:0px;
height:100px;
width:1000px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
vertical-align:central;
padding-left:0px;
padding-right:opx;
}
.main {
position:absolute;
top:100px;
bottom:20px;
left:0;
right:0;
width:990px;
margin:0 auto;
padding-top:10px;
padding-left:5px;
padding-right:5px;
z-index:-1;
}
I have made a jsFiddle which can be found here: http://jsfiddle.net/qcaJJ/. Can you please help me out on how to get this working? Thanks in advance!
ps. Please don't mind the footer, I've used the footer from another page of mine, I don't want this one on this page :p
pps. If anyone knows a way to let the nav stay on it's place and the main2 div scroll, you're my hero! Kinda new to HTML and CSS..

In addition to using fixed position for the header, as the other answers pointed out, you're also using a background image with transparency, so when the main section scrolls underneath, you still see it. You need to add a background color like so, to make sure that the header div covers over what's scrolling underneath:
.top {
background: #fff url("http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9215/headerqrk.png") no-repeat top center fixed;

See my JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/qcaJJ/3/
You need a fixed position for your header rather than an absolute positioning for all the rest of your page.
.header{
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100px;
background:red;
}
.content{
margin-top:100px;
font-size:180%;
}

The top must be position:fixed for that to work. This ensures that it is always stuck at the top of the screen.
You may also want to set the z-index to something like 1000 so that it always stays on top of everything else.

What CSS/HTML - function shoud I look after?

In the wordpress-theme Avada (A demo site) I can see that they're using some background-effect for overlapping both backgrounds and text-elements at the same time. The first heading is overlapped by the "Who we are" section. How do they do this?
Look for the div with the class tfs-slider flexslider main-flex
<div class="tfs-slider flexslider main-flex" ...>
You will notice that it has the attribute position: fixed. This means that it does not scroll with the content. In addition, they have changed the z-index properties of various elements so that it stays beneath the menu at the top and the content that flows up over it.
Basically this resumes down to this CSS property:
background-attachment: fixed;
Here I have a basic example for you: http://jsfiddle.net/1j3w8ru6/
Here is a really simple working example
What we are doing here is setting the position of the first heading to "fixed", pushing the content just below the screen with "margin-top", and setting the content's z-index to a higher value than that of the first heading.
Here is the CSS:
html,
body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#heading {
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
background:#000000;
z-index:2;
}
#content {
width:100%;
position:relative;
z-index:3;
background:#FFFFFF;
margin-top:100%;
}

Keeping Relative Width/Height Elements

I am I using percentages based grid system to build a page for my personal website which uses a relative positioned banner and an absolute positioned div that falls in the center horizontally and at the bottom of the banner vertically. However, because said div is a screenshot of a webpage it is important to keep its height and its width relative to one another so that the image doesn't distort.
Below is a little code and a jsfiddle -
<div id="aps-group-banner">
<div id="aps-group-banner-wrap">
<div class="screenshot-banner"></div>
</div>
</div>
#banner {
height:100%;
background:red;
}
#banner-wrap {
position:relative;
width:67%; height:100%;
}
.screenshot {
position:absolute;
background:url(/img/case-study/aps-group/screenshot-banner.jpg) top left;
background-size:100% 100%;
width:75%; min-height:496px; bottom:0; margin-left:-37.5%; left:50%;
}

Hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance

Maybe I don't understand the question completely, but is this what you need?
http://jsfiddle.net/RpW4r/
I just changed the background-size to 100% auto;
Give this a try:
.screenshot {
position:absolute;
background: url(http://liamhodnett.com/img/case-study/aps-group/screenshot-banner.jpg) bottom left no-repeat;
background-size:100% auto;
width:75%; min-height:496px; bottom:0; margin-left:-37.5%; left:50%;
}
This will scale the background to 100% width and adjust its height to be proportional, plus move it to the bottom of the .screenshot element.

DIV background extend behind another DIV

First time asking a question :)
My header DIV has a background that is curved like a wave. I have a sidebar floated to the right located in a DIV underneath the header DIV. The background image for header curves up right where sidebar is which leaves a gap where sidebar hits the bottom of the header div (because obviously divs aren't curved). I need the background of sidebar to extend underneath header so there is no gap. What should I do?
HTML:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="body>
<div id="main-content"></div>
<div id="side-bar></div>
</div>
CSS:
#header{
width:100%;
height:272px;
margin:0 auto;
background-image:url('../img/header.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-align:center;
}
#body{
width:960px;
height:auto;
margin:0 auto;
padding-bottom:159px;
}
#main-content{
width:60%;
height:auto;
margin:0 auto;
float:left;
padding:15px;
background-color:#fbf8ee;
}
#side-bar{
width:30%;
height:auto;
margin:0 auto;
float:right;
padding:10px;
background-color:#961912;
border-right:thick #558c21 solid;
border-left:thick #558c21 solid;
}
![Here is a screenshot of what it looks like currently. The sidebar has no content so it is narrow but I want it to extend up behind the header image so there is no gap.1
Not 100% sure on what you're wanting to achieve, but if you're wanting the sidebar to show behind the header and extend upwards, try adding to the sidebar style:
margin-top: -100px; /* Higher or lower number depending on how far up you want it to go */
position: relative;
z-index: -1;
Not really sure if I understand you correctly but try to add:
position: relative;
top: -10px;
to #side-bar as you can see here http://jsfiddle.net/NpZJV/
If I may advice, don't use % for width/height and positions use px instead.
You could use CSS3 to make a background size, check it out to see if it solves your problem.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
Try using
background-size: 600px 2921px;
You might be able to get it to fit

Better way to align bottom right

Is there a better way to align something in the bottom right of a cell?
I have a div which only contains a background image, 10px by 10px. I am using the following styles to put it in the bottom right corner. (The cell I have it in is 40px high.)
Doing it this way causes me to lose the 30px above the div. (I'm also using it as something to click, so I can click anywhere on the right instead of only the bottom corner of the cell.)
.time_note { float:right; width:20%; min-height:40px; display:block;
margin-right:-5px; }
.time_note { background:url('/images/sheet/note_marker.png') no-repeat;
background-position:bottom; }
If this could also be done NOT using margins, that would be great.
Example Image:
You should make your wrapping class position:relative; and then whatever you have inside you can position absolutely position:absolute; bottom:0; right:0;
For example
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="arrow"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper
{
width:100px;
height:100px;
position:relative;
}
.arrow
{
width:10px;
height:10px;
position:absolute;
right:0px;
bottom:0px;
}
You could position: absolute, and bottom: 0; right:0; to place it on the bottom right of the parent element (which needs position: relative;). Of course, this has the danger of overlapping some other info in that element.
try:
background-position:bottom right;
I believe what you are looking for is this, you just need to modify it to be on the right
Sticky footer

HTML/CSS Align DIV to bottom of page and screen - whichever comes first

I have a div:
clear:both;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
background:red;
width:100%;
height:200px;
And a html, body:
html, body {
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
/* Body styles */
body {
background:url(../images/background.png) top center no-repeat #101010;
color:#ffffff;
}
My code is basically 20 loren ipsum paragraphs followed by the div.
Now i tried setting position to relative and absolute and etc but with absolute the div aligns itself to the bottom of the screen so when you scroll down the div scrols with it
I tried setting it to relative but when theres not enough content to make the page scroll, the div is not at the bottom of the page.
I tried fixed but that just fixed it.. no use to me
How can i get the div to be at the bottom of the screen and page depending on if theres scroll or not
Ok, fixed and working :D Hope it does what you want it to.
Preview here: http://jsfiddle.net/URbCZ/2/
<html>
<body style="padding:0;">
<div style="position:fixed; width:100%; height:70px; background-color:yellow; padding:5px; bottom:0px; ">
test content :D
</div>
<!--Content Here-->
</div>
</body>
</html>
Shorter solution:
.footer {
bottom: 0%;
position: fixed;
}
