Aligning a picture to bottom right in browser window - html

Im trying to markup a picture to show on the bottom right corner of the webpage.
If i set the overall width of the page to 100%
and i set the picture to float right at the bottom it makes the trick perfectly but above
the mentioned picture is a bigger width picture which is around 1600px so when you open the the page in the small window browser then the floated picture is aligned but the scrollbar apears and scrolls to the full width of the page without the floated picture..
body{width:100%;}
thepicture{width: 1289px;
height: 446px;
position:relative;
float:right;}
So the second aproach: to make the body or a wrapper div fix width that is bigger than the upper picture mentioned:
body{min-width:1600px;}
Than looks great until somebody has a bigger screen than 1600px... the float ends at 1600px;
The firs solution needs to be tweaked but i cant figure it out how, some responsive floating would be great jquery maybe?
thanks in forwards
The problem is the pearl:)

Updated
May be this work:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%
min-width: 1648px; /* the width of the longest element */
}
#bottomwrap {
/* replace with your background color */
background: url(path/to/picture) bottom right no-repeat;
width: 100%;
}
Rememer to reset body margin, padding to zero and set body height to 100%
Update:
I have update the solution for your case, modify the HTML structure, you can review here http://jsbin.com/ulatis/1/edit

It sounds like you need to use a background image here. Put the background on a 100% width div and set the background position to right bottom.
div.background{background: url('images/bg.png') no-repeat right bottom; width: 100%}

Try position: fixed; z-index: -1;, it does exactly what you're looking for. Example

Background that scrolls down css

I am wondering how can I something like this with CSS & HTML:
https://www.vatsim.net
You open the page and you get a backrgound that fits all the browser, but then you scroll down and you get a solid color as background and more info.
I tried with this, but is not what I am looking for, I want something like the link on the top,

Thank you very much!
You can get far by just adding a bit of CSS. In the snippet below, there are two divs. The first one is for the top area with the image. The second one is for the rest of the content.
The first div gets a height of 100vh, making it 100% of the screen height. The background image is centered and set to scale so it covers the entire div. And, well, that's basically all there is to it. No script needed.
* { /* Just get rid of some whitespace */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
div.image {
height: 100vh; /* div is 100% of viewport height */
background-image: url(https://www.ancestry.com/wiki/images/archive/a/a9/20100708215937!Example.jpg);
background-size: cover; /* Entire div is covered by the image */
background-position: center; /* Image is centered relatively to the div. */
}
/* Just some styling to make it visible. */
div {
color: white;
font-size: 150%;
}
div.content {
color: black;
background-color: #eee;
height: 2000px;
}
<div class="image">This is the top area. The image exactly covers the view.</div>
<div class="content">This is the rest of the content. You can scroll down a bit just to see what happens.</div>
The webpage you added is basicly splitted to divs, the first is 100% height and 100% width. therefore you can see him all over your screen.
The others are just divs with 100% width but not 100% height, which gives you the ability to switch the background color from light gray to white and then to gray.
Not too complicated but yet a nice design

How can I make a white rectangle extend all the way down, on top of another background?

I'm a complete beginner. I tried my best to search for a solution, but part of the problem is that I don't even know what the technical term is for the thing I'm trying to do.
Essentially I want to have a tiled background repeating everywhere, but then also have a white rectangle that extends from the top of the page to the bottom, occupying roughly 50% of the horizontal screen space. How would I go about accomplishing this?
If I get it correctly, you might just want a repeated background of the page and then absolutely-positioned <div> with white background.
This is pretty basic stuff, I suggest you take a beginner's course in HTML and CSS before going too much further.
body {background: url(tile.png) left top repeat;}
content {background-color: #fff; margin: 0px auto; width: 50%;}
I hope this is what you wanted. It is a tiled, repeating background with a white strip, half the screen space, going down the middle. If you want a tiled background, you don't need to define anything in CSS, and CSS will do it for you, but I'm not sure with the browser compatibility so it might be safer to explicitly define repeat:.
First of all, to those complaining that height: 100% does not work, note that the div with height: 100% is only being the height: 100% of its parent element (the container that encloses the div, in the case of this JSFiddle, the #container). Therefore, if its parent has no content, the div with 100% height will become invisible.
Therefore, the html, body and container must all have height: 100% for the white strip to have 100% height here in this JSFiddle:
JSFiddle
After this you are free to add any content to the white strip, which will probably be your webpage! :D
Note: Here I have defined the strip as width: 50%; but sometimes it may be better to explicitly define the width (width: 1200px;) so that you can avoid problems with the text and divs going haywire when you zoom in, zoom out, etc.
Edit:
Also, since the height of the container increases as you add more content, such as divs, the problem with the white strip not reaching the bottom of the page is that you simply have nothing that fills it up. As you add more content the strip will naturally grow to fill the page. Good luck!
Solution 1
Here's a solution that uses only the background CSS property applied to document body, no extra elements needed. It's documented so you can understand whats going on.
body
{
/*
* This specifies two background images, separated by comma
* First parameter is just a white pixel
* For the second use any background pattern of your choice
*/
background-image:url("http://i.imgur.com/qdx0kzd.png"),
url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
/*Center background images, self-explanatory*/
background-position: center;
/*Repeat white background image on Y-axis (vertical) only*/
background-repeat: repeat-y, repeat;
/*Make white background size 50%. Adjust as needed*/
background-size: 50%, auto;
}
You can see an example in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dV2zZ/6/
Solution 2
This solution applies different backgrounds to different elements: the pattern to the document body, and the white background to a content container. Code is also documented for better understanding.
HTML
<div id="content">Content</div>
CSS
html, body
{
margin: 0;
/* Make document size extend to the bottom of the page */
height: 100%;
}
body
{
/*Patern background. Use a pattern of your choice*/
background-image: url("http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/tasky_pattern.png");
}
#content
{
/*Make container background white*/
background-color: #FFFFFF;
/*Center container*/
margin: 0 auto;
/*Size 50%, adjust as needed*/
width: 50%;
/*Extend to the bottom*/
height: 100%;
}

CSS - Can an image overlap a page border without affecting page width?

I have the following element in my initial page concept:
http://tinyurl.com/bcmcxp9
The ribbon is a PNG image. What I'd like to be able to do is position this image exactly over the border of a box-shadowed div (representing the page content), without affecting the page width.
I've tried a couple of techniques.
By using position:absolute, I've been able to achieve the visual effect I was looking for, but it brings up the dreaded horizontal scrollbars! I want the edge of the div (not the edge of the image) to represent the edge of the page.
#banner-ribbon {
background-image: url(ribbon-right.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: absolute:
width: 419px;
height: 114px;
left: 700px;
top: 400px;
}
By using a div that sits between the content wrapper and the background, I've been able to position the image in the right place without affecting the horizontal scrollbars (sort of, I might need a little javascript to absolute-position it relative to the center), but I can't raise the image's z-index above its child divs!
#banner-ribbon-wrapper {
background-image: url(ribbon-right.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 90% 400px;
z-index: 70; /* does nothing */
}
Any ideas?
It sounds like the image is extending the boundaries of the page, causing the horizontal scroll bars. One way to fix this may be to set a width for your page and then hide anything that goes outside of it. Something like this may work for you:
body {
width: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Example jsFiddle
Give your content div
position: relative
and to your ribbon
position: absolute
right:0
Make sure your image don't extend boundaries uncontrollably.

Messed up absolute positioned image on my page

On this site I have an auto-resizing BG but I wanted a fixed black bar at the bottom of the page.
The site looks fine when the browser is maximized but when you scale the window down and scroll down the black bar almost completely gone and it looks messed up. It is not positioning correctly.
I have tried a few things but can't figure out a solution to this. Does anybody have any ideas how I should go about this? (Maybe I am missing 1 little thing or maybe I need to start over from scratch, either way please help!)
Note: the auto size background is in the html tag and the black bottom bar is in its own separate div tag "#black_bottom"
http://graves-incorporated.com/test_sites/gm_2012/
Just remove height:100% from #black_bottom make the absolute:position div height auto.
You have everything wrapped incorrectly I believe. Why does your <div id="black_bottom> contain everything from your wrapper to your <div id="footer_wrap">?
Ok, so I think I see what you're going for now. If my understanding is correct, you want the gradient background to extend to about 70-73px above the bottom edge of your content box, where it meets the solid gray bar which extends to the bottom of the window, or just below that bottom circular G emblem, whichever is lower. I've accomplished this by removing the #black_bottom element entirely, setting a solid gray background color for the html element to match the color of your bottom bar graphic, and applied the circular gradient background to the body element. I've also removed the explicitly-defined height from #wrapper, and given it a negative margin-bottom to allow the black bar to underlap it. The styles I replaced are listed below. Hopefully this is closer to what you're after:
html {
background: #333;
}
body {
background: url(http://graves-incorporated.com/test_sites/gm_2012/images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto -136px;
top: 20px;
position: relative;
}

Making my site fluid

I'm trying to create a "fluid" website and have in my css file:
page-wrap{
min-width: 780px;
max-width: 1260px;
margin: 10px auto;
}
In my template for the page, I have my main body of text set to a width of 80% and centered. My intention is that when I make my browser window smaller, it will remove the white space on the left and right side of the body until there is no space around the body. At that point, a horizontal scroll bar appears. I'm not sure if I explained that clearly, but an example would be like stackoverflow.com, with the whitespace on the left and right side of the body being removed when you make the browser window smaller. Unfortunately, with what I have, the space around my main body stays the same while my main body adjusts to the 80% width. So what do I need to do to correct it and achieve my desired results? Do I need a fixed size for this instead of a percent?
That's fairly simple, all you need to do is have a fixed width on your page wrap div with auto margins.
#page-wrap
{
width:780px;
margin:10px auto;
}
Forget the min/max-width.
It's not clear for me.
If you use, for the width 80% of the available window width, it's normal that the bloc resizes to adapt…
You must have a fixed width for the center part.
I use this :
#centerdiv {
position: absolute;
width:950px;
left: 50%;
margin-left:-475px; }
