I have the following:
HTML
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="logo"></div>
<div id="container">
<h1>Welcome message</h1>
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
</div>
</body>
CSS
html{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
}
html,body, img{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
#header{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
background-color: yellow;
width: 100%;
height: 537px;
z-index: -1;
}
div#logo{
width: 385px;
height: 141px;
background: white;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#container{
width: 964px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
min-height: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
padding-left: 6px;
padding-right: 6px;
}
I want div#container to stretch all over to the bottom, but it doesn't.
You have to stretch body and html too:
html, body {
height:100%;
}
Take a look at this Fiddle.
In order for elements to reach 100% height they need to have a position applied to it.
So
#container{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
Depending on the parents positioning of this element will determine its height.
If this elements parent has a positioning applied to it, it will become 100% height of its parents. If non of its parents have positioning it will be use body and display across the entire page.
html, body {
height:100%;
}
As it spans throughout the entire page then height wise.

If using the relative positioning keeps my content box within the body container, why does the box I am using overlap the body tag's borders?
This is the html:
<body>
<div class="content">
<img src=""/>
</div>
</body>
This is the css for my body tag:
body {
font-family: Calibri;
background-color: #e7e6e8;
width: 100%;
min-height:100%;
min-width: 1200px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: solid black 5px;
}
This here is the trouble maker:
.content {
position: relative;
width: 1325px;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
top: 45px;
left: 7%;
border: solid black 2px;}
You can use margin-top: 45px; instead of top: 45px;. (Also margin-left: 7%; if you want to stop the overflow there as well.)
If you relatively position an element, it's always doing so after setting the height/width of it's parent. More in this answer.
Tried a few things(margin-auto, text align:center etc) to centre this relative div - which is the header in my responsive layout with no luck. Any other ways to try?
The problem is keeping it centered as the page expands/contracts
Its CSS properties are
#header {
height: 170px;
width: 100%;
overflow: visible;
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 7px;
position: relative;
z-index: 99;
}
How can a div appear visually centered when it's 100% width of its parent?
Check out this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6332ytc/
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="inner">
Content
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
background: #000;
height: 300px;
}
.inner {
width: 50%;
background: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I have simple layout and I'm trying to expand div's height to given % so I can put later scalled background img using backgound-size.
In example I wanna have div1 expand to 69%.
Why it doesn't work and how to fix it?

CSS:
body
{
color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 1080px;
}
#container
{
width: 100%;

#header

margin-right: 3.6%;

<body>
<div id="header">Header</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="div1">1</div>
<div id="div2">2</div>

You need to give to the body and html and to his parent (#container) height: 100%;
CSS
body, html
{
color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%; /* Add this */
}
#container
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* Add this */
}
DEMO HERE
If you know the height of #header you can use calc(...) and absolute positioning to make the container fill the remaining space:
#container
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:0px;
height:calc(100% - 20px);
}
In this example I've set the header to a fixed height of 20px, then offset container by the same amount.
Then set #div1's height accordingly to fill 69% of #container.
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/GarryPas/mc6ecstr/2/
I am trying to create 2 side banners (left and right) with fixed positioning, and a centered container for the content.
The problem is that when minimizing the screen, the 2 side banners cover the centered container. I need a CSS solution to set the minimum width of the view to 860px; after which, the window becomes scrollable and divs do not overlap. The perfect solution is:
The HTML I am using is as such:
<div class="left" style="position:fixed; height:100%; background-color:#7fb4dd; top:43px; left:0px; width:180px;">
</div>
<div class="center" style="margin:100px 180px 0 180px;">
<div style="width:100%;">
<div style="width:500px; margin:0 auto;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="right" style="position:fixed; height:100%; background-color:#7fb4dd; top:43px; right:0px; width:180px;">
</div>
The above code prevents the left bar from overlapping the center container; but the problem is still present with the right bar.
This is a fiddle of the code: preview
You need to wrap the three DIVs in a wrapping DIV and set the min-width to prevent the overlap. This prevents it from getting narrower than the three columns. Add up the widths, set that as the minimum.
Here is a pure HTML/CSS solution for you , tell me if it is not exactly what you needed.

The problem you are in is because of position: fixed; since that object is taken out of the workflow the other objects can't push it away. I was able to get a nice and fully responsive layout to work. (Let me know how it is)
Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The
document and other elements behave like the fixed positioned element
does not exist.
Fixed positioned elements can overlap other elements.
Updated answer to better suit his needs (JSFIDDLE, remove the show, in the url, to see code)
Okay what I am doing here is using css media queries to change the layout.
Here is the html,
<div class="wrap">
<nav></nav>
<div class="content"></div>
<section class="lSide"></section>
<section class="rSide"></section>
</div>
Now the media query,
#media only screen and (max-width: 680px) {
.content {
width: 90%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.lSide, .rSide {
position: relative;
width: 90%;
height: 100px;
margin: 10px auto;
bottom: 0;
}
}
Don't forget to add this to your head on your html file,
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0;">
OLD answer
The CSS, (JSFIDDLE, remove the show to see code)
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background: tan;
}
.wrap.active {
min-width: 750px;
}
nav {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background: brown;
z-index: 101;
}
.lSide {
background: #3b3b3b;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 20%;
width: 200px;
height: 80%;
}
.content {
width: 300px;
height: 600px;
background: #c1c1c1;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
z-index: 100;
top: 20%;
}
.rSide {
background: #3b3b3b;
position: fixed;
right: 0;
top: 20%;
width: 200px;
height: 80%;
}
.rSide.active {
display: none;
}
The JS, (updated)
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($(window).width() < '750') {
$('.wrap, .rSide').addClass('active');
}
else {
$('.wrap, .rSide').removeClass('active');
}
});
One solution I have, refer to fiddle next to css, is to remove the right side when a screen size is to small.
I am trying to implement cosntruction, described here.
<div id="wrap">
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id="main">
main<br/>main<br/>main<br/>main<br/>main<br/>main<br/>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
footer
</div>
#header {
border-top:20px solid #fff;
height: 33px;
line-height: 33px;
text-align: center;
}
html { height: 100%; }
body { height: 100%; width: 90%; margin: auto; }
#wrap { min-height: 100%;background-color:gray;}
#main {
overflow: auto;
padding-bottom: 53px; /* must be same height as the footer */
background-color: red;
border: solid 1px blue;
height: 90%;
}
#footer {
position: relative;
margin-top: -53px; /* negative value of footer height */
height: 33px;
line-height: 33px;
border-bottom:20px solid #fff;
text-align: center;
}
The whole page has background color (gray), header and footer are transparent (so you can see the page's background through it) and the content block has red background. Despite the fact that content part is stretchable it doesn't fill with the background the whole block, only the actual.
Is it possible to fill the whole content block with the color?
While minimizing window the footer floats on content. is it possible to disable such behaviour?
Here is a workaround of what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
Add this lines of code below to your code:
#main{
position: absolute;
top: 33px;
bottom: 33px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
#wrap{
position: relative;
}
