I have an absolute div as the main content area on my page design. I have another div that occupies the top portion and which is 450px in height. I cannot know the height of absolute div before page load, so will only be able to find it out after page load has happened.
Now the problem is that my body also occupies 450px (height), so if I want to display something after the absolute div has ended I am unable to do so.
Summary :
Absolute Div : 600px (for example, don't know the actual height) Has position:absolute.
Top Div : 450px (No position:absolute)
Body Becomes 450 px as expected
How do I place a div below the absolute div. Currently the only thing I can think of is jQuery.
Here is a jsfiddle I made to the illustrate the problem. Even though the whole body displays blue, if you fire up the developer tool and inspect, you'll see that the html and body both occupy
UPDATE : Linky I'm trying to display the main content area above a few elements. Those circles that you see are seperate elements. And they need to stay that way.
I think you need to learn more about the positions!
Anyhow the current problem you are referring to will be solve if you change the position to relative!
<div id="First Div" style="height:100px;width:50px;position:relative;background-color:green;">
</div>
<div id="BelowDiv" style="height:100px;width:50px;position:relative;background-color:pink;">
</div>
But if you really need to place it somewhere static or in another word "absolute", then you need to place a container div and set the position to absolute, then place the other two or even more or inside the container Div.
<div id="container" style="position:absolute; top:y; left:x">
<div id="FirstDiv" style="position:relative;></div>
<div id="SecondDiv" style="position:relative;></div>
</div>
You can use jquery to append tags to your container. here is the sample link to do it!
If it didn't help try the height:auto and also overflow:visible for your container!

This seems to be a tricky one :).
Here is a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/xhrkLwwL/2/ and there a description with some pseudo-code (accurate code in fiddle):
<div id="gridSettings" style="height:100%">
<div id="gridSmaller" style="height:100%">
<img id="gridSmallerImg" style="height:200%"/>
</div>
</div>
I am trying to make responsive square icons based on height and css only.
Theory is following:
I have a square icon image (200x400px - two in one for hover purposes).
Image is inputed into html as <IMG> (NOT as css background property). The <IMG> has it's wrapper DIV and <IMG> is se to height:200%. I am expecting the IMG to scale so that I can see only top 50% and the width of the DIV to be determined by the width of IMG, which is same as the visible height (50% of total height) -> since the image is 200x400px... there you go... a SQUARE :).
Practice:
It works until I resize window. Height of the icon-wrapping DIV is 10% of window height, so if I resize window, DIV height goes as well, and so does the IMG inside. BUT the DIV's width stays the same as before resizing and so my icons get clipped :(. If I then change any css prop (via FF DOM Inspector, hover event...), the DIV updates to correct width.
Does anyone have any idea, what could be causing it?
Thank you very very much :)
PS: No need for you to send me JS solution. If neccessary I can write my own.
*This is just a general question prior to the development, hence no code provided.
I want a div in the middle of my site to have a background width of 100% in order to go all the way across the screen, but this div is INSIDE the wrapper/container (of which has a 980px width) so it's restricted as normal to the regular content width.
How can this happen without ending wrapper and container, creating the full width div, then making a new set of wrapper/container divs? As w3 validator states to me I should have these particular div's more than once.
Im not sure exactly what you want without examples, but you may want to try something like this:
<style>
#width980{width:980px;height:200px;margin:0 auto;background:#aaa;}
#fullwidth{height:100px;background:#000;position:absolute;left:0;top:50px;right:0;color:#fff;}
</style>
<div id="width980">
width980
<div id="fullwidth">
fullwidth
</div>
</div>
Here, I made you a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Wde8W/
I have the following HTML code:
<div id="my_div" style="height:400px"></div>
<hr>
<input type="text" id="my_input">
my_div will be populated with data later (via jQuery) but the thing is that the
<hr>
appears behind my_div but my_input is where it should be (that is, after my_div).
Does anyone know why?
EDIT: A bootstrap css class (span10) was causing this problem. After I removed that class, it worked.
Give your div a position: relative value
<div id="my_div" style="height:400px; position: relative;"></div>
For testing purposes only, i would give your CSS a declaration of !important just to rule out any javascript/ bootstrap override
<div id="my_div" style="height:400px !important; position: relative !important;"></div>
A bootstrap css class (span10) was causing this issue. After removing it from my_div, it worked.
Judging from the information you've provided, I think it might depend on the content you're placing into it. As you can see here, the <hr> is displaying below the div, as it should.
One case I can think of that might be causing this is if you're inserting content that is floated using CSS inside the div. In that case, the div will "shrink" to the height of the last in-flow (not floated) element it contains, which will make it shrink to a height of 0 if there are no non-floated elements inside it.
If that is your case, then you can work around that by adding the following CSS to your #my_div:
#my_div {
overflow: hidden;
}
There are also other workarounds for this kind of problem, but this one is the easiest to try out in order to check if that's the problem affecting you.
Another issue that could possibly be affecting you is that the height of the div is restricted to 400px. If the content of the div exceeds that height, it won't push the div's boundaries down, but instead it will overflow (quick demonstration). If that's the case, you can either set the div's height to auto, so that it will stretch along with the content, or you can make sure the content won't get past the div's height by tweaking it.
set the position of both to relative and see if they appear properly
It's because your div has fixed height of 400px. It may be overflowed by the content, but it can't move other blocks further than its specified height. Probably you need to set to it min-height: 400px instead of height: 400px.
A div without content is displayed as height=zero. Try inserting a
inside the div so that it is displayed as 400px in height initially.
i think jquery first remove your "my_div" then append to your container.
try this fix
<div id="yourContainer">
<div id="my_div" style="height:400px"></div>
<hr>
</div>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#yourContainer').find('hr').remove();
$('#yourContainer').append('<hr />');
});
I have a div that shows some text and is absolutely positioned on a page. While it is absolutely positioned the div is just large enough to show the text it contains. When I add an inline style to that div to change it to be relatively positioned, the width of the div suddenly expands to take up 100% of the page...
I used the Chrome dev tools to toggle the relative position on/off. Turning it off causes the width to be correct, turning it back on causes the div to expand. It is an inline style so there isn't any CSS class or selector that is changing the width on me.
I experience the same issue in Firefox. Removing position: relative in Firebug causes the width to shrink back down to be just wide enough to fit the text.
If you want relative position DIV take his content width then you can give float, display:inline or display:inline-block to your DIV
could you please post the HTML and CSS, and I could have a look at it..
Meanwhile you might wanna have a look at
Position an HTML element relative to its container using CSS
and see if that could possibly help you?
to change size as content grows/shrinks use something like:
<div style="min-height:30px;max-height:300px;">
Which will mean it'll vary between 30 and 300 px depending on content
or
<div style="min-height:30px;height:auto;">
which will vary between 30px and as big as its container will allow (so forever, essentially)
I'm quite new to CSS and I'm trying to get a page up and running. I managed
to successfully produce what I thought was a nice page until I resized the
browser window then everything started to move around. I have no idea why
this is happening!!
Could someone offer me some advice please. When I resize the window I would
like the 'objects' to stay where they are but the window to resize. for
example, if I drag the bottom corner of a window up and to the left I'd
expect to see what was at the bottom right disapear and scroll bars to
appear but the object in the top left hand corner would stay exactly where
they are.
Am I making sence ?
Have a look at working condition of my page : http://aimmds1.estheticdentalcare.co.in/
then try to resize the browser window by dragging the right size leftwards .
and look at the content in header , and also the menubar .. they jump down ,, the header content was also jumping down then i make overflow: hidden ; .. but as i understand all this is not the right way.
Please find the html and CSS here : http://jsfiddle.net/swati/hCDas/
I already tried prevent div moving on window resize , i tried setting min-width:820px; for div header , that the main containing div.. but that doesnt solve it.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
1 - remove the margin from your BODY CSS.
2 - wrap all of your html in a wrapper <div id="wrapper"> ... all your body content </div>
3 - Define the CSS for the wrapper:
This will hold everything together, centered on the page.
#wrapper {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:960px;
}
There are two types of measurements you can use for specifying widths, heights, margins etc: relative and fixed.
Relative
An example of a relative measurement is percentages, which you have used. Percentages are relevant to their containing element. If there is no containing element they are relative to the window.
<div style="width:100%">
<!-- This div will be the full width of the browser, whatever size it is -->
<div style="width:300px">
<!-- this div will be 300px, whatever size the browser is -->
<p style="width:50%">
This paragraph's width will be 50% of it's parent (150px).
</p>
</div>
</div>
Another relative measurement is ems which are relative to font size.
Fixed
An example of a fixed measurement is pixels but a fixed measurement can also be pt (points), cm (centimetres) etc. Fixed (sometimes called absolute) measurements are always the same size. A pixel is always a pixel, a centimetre is always a centimetre.
If you were to use fixed measurements for your sizes the browser size wouldn't affect the layout.
I'd rather use static widths and if you'd like your page to resize depending on screen size, you can have a look at media queries.
Or, you can set a min-width on elements like header, navigation, content etc.
hi firstly there seems to be many 'errors' in your html where you are missing closing tags, you could try wrapping the contents of your <body> in a fixed width <div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 900px> to achieve what you have done with the body {margin: 0 10% 0 10%}
