I want to prevent my divs to float out of the browser window if you resize it. Look at this site, and resize the window, and you will see that the divs is floating out. See here. What is wrong? I have tried to set the divs inside a wrapper with no luck.
Thank you :)
There are a lot of things wrong with this page but heres a few things you should do (some not related to fixing the div issue)
Put all <link/> && <script/> && <style/> tags in the head for a start.
and the css you need (though you will probably tell me you want something more after you have applied this) is:
.content {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: auto;
top: 100px;
width: 1000px;
}

I want to disable my web page from scrolling horizontally but allow it to continue scrolling vertically. The web page itself simply lists png images. No code i found online has successfully enabled me to disable horizontal scrolling. The images I'm using make the browser allocate extra space to scroll for some reason. I'd appreciate any new ideas for a fix.
<style type="text/css">
body {
min-width: 960px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #FF0; /**/
}
</style>
Which disables scrolling all together.
What you want is actually default behaviour. By default, a browser will make your page scroll only vertically. Unless it contains content that is wider then the viewport. And that is probably your problem.
First of all I would strongly advise you never to use absolute positioning (unless you really have to). It messes with the flow of your page, and it is a pain to maintain or make responsive. (Those inline style attributes are rarely a good idea as well, but that's a different story)
So if you get rid of your absolute, all you have to do is make sure your images are never wider then their parent. That can easily be achieved with a single line of css:
max-width: 100%;
Et voila, that should do the trick. Have a look at the example I set up for you: http://jsfiddle.net/icebear/mywkmj7n/2/
If you need to position your images differently you can do so by adding margin/padding, or even work with floats or relative positioning, like the .center example I put in the fiddle.
<style type="text/css">
body {
min-width: 96px;
max-height: 200%;
overflow-x: hidden;
background-color: #FF0; /**/
}
</style>
try this put some content in it
I am creating a horizontal scrolling site that will dynamically resize itself when i add the javascript to it later. However i started setting up the HTML and the code seems to cause a issue when i put another div inside of the div that makes up my dynamic code.
Also, would someone with more experience like to explain the drawbacks of using such a code if there are any?
#main_cont {
height : 500px;
white-space : nowrap;
overflow-x: scroll;
width: auto;
}
.ads {
display : inline-block;
height : 100%;
}
Is there a way for me to adjust the code below so that i can put divs and potentially images inside of it. I don't want to use a Javascript fix for this. thank you in advance.

You're just missing vertical-align: top; for your panels
.wlds {
vertical-align: top;
}
Updated fiddle
Also you don't need javascript to resize your layout, use a fluid layout by setting height and width in percentage values
I found a link that might be able to explain how to make a website that requires horizontal scrolling. Try this tutorial by CSS-Tricks. Hope this helped. Have a good day.
Well, the quickest and dirtiest solution to this is to give the #main-cont div a specific width and make the .wlds divs floated. So add the following CSS rules:
#main-cont {
width: 783px;
}
.wlds {
float: left;
}
JSFiddle.
I have a question for the front-end web development experts out there which is stumping me.
On my page, I have a sidebar which is fixed on the right side of the page, and then a large block of content (fixed-width) that takes up more than the width of the browser window. The problem is, the content on the far right side of the div can't be seen because it's behind the fixed sidebar.
Here is a super stripped down example of my issue in jsFiddle.
EDIT: Here is a more complete example of my issue.
I thought that simply applying padding-right: "width of sidebar"px to either the body or to a wrapper div, or applying margin-right: "width of sidebar"px to the content div should fix the issue, but neither works. I don't want to resort to putting in a filler div unless there is no way to accomplish this effect with CSS.
I did a search for the issue on google and so, but all I found were questions about how to remove whitespace from the right side, which is the opposite of what I want to do.
Thanks to anyone who can solve this stumper!
EDIT: After seeing a multiple questions about why I can't simply set things up differently, I thought I'd clarify by showing a more in-depth example of what I'm trying to accomplish. You can see that here. The columns in the table must be fixed-width, and I want to be able to see the full contents of the last column. Hope that helps clarify things!
I know you already came up with a jquery solution, but I think you could get by with a simple css rule:
tr td:last-child { padding-right: 100px; }
It just sets padding on the last td in each tr, equal to the fixed right sidebar width.
I made the wrapper position absolute with a left 0 and right of 110px, which you also can put on the content div instead of the wrapper. Just to give you a hint... See http://jsfiddle.net/aHKU5/98/
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0px; right:110px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
Edit
I also create a version with a max-width that makes sure the content will never exceed 900px, but if there is less room it will respect the sidebar as well... http://jsfiddle.net/aHKU5/102/
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
max-width: 900px;
margin-right: 110px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
I know you wanted fixed width, but this works how you want I believe without worrying about user screen resolution. I just added float:right and width:100%; to the content div and it looks good to me. Try this code:
#content {
border: 1px solid #444;
background: #aaa;
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
float:right;
}
So I figured out a solution to my issue. I simply used jQuery to set the width of the body to the width of the table plus the width of the right sidebar. Worked like a charm.
Here's the code I used if future developers stumble upon this page with the same question:
$('body').css('width', $('table').width() + 150 + 'px');
Where 150 is the width of the sidebar.
I'm trying to add a content rotator to a site I'm building. The rotator works fine. In fact, it works out better than I had hoped. I need to tweak some styling things, but that's besides the point.
For some reason, the rotator (which is relatively positioned and inside my container/wrapper div) pulls my wrapper and menu down with it when I add a margin to the top of it (margin:65px auto 0; or something like that). Any words of advice?

This sounds like a classic case of collapsing margins.
You can fix this by giving the container a border-top, margin-top, padding-top, or an overflow other than visible. (jsFiddle)
you can probably accomplish what you want by giving #wrapper top padding instead giving #slideshow top margin.
I run into this problem a lot when I put elements inside of inline elements. You should be able to fix it by doing one of the following:
Set the element you're having trouble with to display: block; (Usually a good enough fix)
Use top-padding like already suggested (nothing wrong with using band-aids if it works...)
Set the element to float: left; (Not really recommended, can cause some problems down the line, but will definitely allow you to add top and bottom margins)
How about this?
#menu {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 100px;
left: 383px;
top: 0px;
}
This is the website I'm having problems with: http://bgflirt.com
I need the menu on the left to have a fixed width and the part with the user pictures should resize when the browser window is resized (width in percent). However, as you can see - the part where the content is refuses to align on the right of the menu, but is instead displayed below it. Can someone help me with this ?
For #content_wrap remove width:100% and float:left. This will make box to stretch to fill all available horizontal space.
You'll need to also clear floats in whatever way you prefer. E.g., add overflow: hidden; to #content_wrap.
This works for me in firebug.
BTW, since you use fixed-width graphics for header and footer (frame with those nice rounded corners), you can't really stretch them.
Try using something like this for your CSS:
.container {
position: relative;
}
.sidebar_wrap {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 130px;
}
.content_wrap {
margin-left: 130px;
}
I believe that is much easier to work with than a float.
A couple of things.
First, get rid of the xhtml doctype and instead start using an html 4.01 strict doctype. xhtml, besides being on it's way out, has inconsistent rendering across a lot of browsers.
Second, this is MUCH easier to accomplish with a table. Just set the width of the table to 100% and the width of the first column to 130px. The layout engine will take care of sizing the other side. Incidentally, this will solve some of the other issues you're going to run into such as making both sides have the same height.
your #content_wrap div has a 100% width, like so it's impossible for it to float left when theres a menu with a 130px width...
You should make the menu's width in % if you really want to make the site resizable... something like
#sidebar_wrap{
width: 15%;
float: left;
}
#content_wrap{
width: 85%;
float: left;
}
note that the sum of the width can't be bigger than 100%, and you should take paddings and borders in consideration.
