I'm trying to stretch an image vertically in a parent container of my site (not the full body), it is the div with the id "imagen-fondo"
I have tried either backstretch plugin and also just css background-image with background-size to do it.
But the problem in both cases is that the calculated height of the parent container is smaller that the immediate child height, so, the background image looks smaller than the content itself.
How can I make it to be the same height as his immediate child or at least bigger?
You can see the live demo here:

UPDATE:
I think the problem is that div#imagen-fondo is getting the height of the window and not of his content, that is the reason that when the screen is big, the problem doesn't happen, but when the height of the window is smaller than the content it happens, you can check it with this two screenshots, just as you start scrolling vertical the background image ends:
Something with overflows?
UPDATE 2:
For now I introduced some javascript to make it work,
Getting the footer offset position and stretching the height of the ".backstretch" div to that height.
But, if you resize the window to make the vertical scroll bar appear and inspect the page, you can still see that the parent container "#imagen-fondo" (from where backstretch should automatically get his height) is still getting the height of the visible viewport and not from the content itself.
If anyone finds a better way to do it CSS only will use that approach instead of this dirty one.
Clear floats in parent div using clear: both;
Or use clearfix on parent div.

I'm trying to scroll some single-line labels in a single-line fixed-width container.
What I've tried so far is:
Create a container with fixed dimensions.
Place a scrollable container inside and attach the animation.
Place the labels.
The animation partially works, but the scrolling doesn't go all the way to what is configured (translateX(-100%)).
The overflowing part (green color in codepen) that exceeds the fixed container width is ignored.
I've tried various display and flex field combinations, but noting.
Here is a codepen sample.
https://codepen.io/efthymiosks/pen/QWQGVGg
The issue is that 100% is the size of the element, not the content. What I mean by this is because the content overflows the element, 100% only refers to the visible width of the container.
You need to change 100% to something else such as 150%. Unfortunately, this means that you need to know the width of the contents before. The only other way that I know of is using JavaScript to calculate the width of the contents.

I am trying to get a div to expand to fill its container without causing that container to expand beyond the browser window's width, as in this page. Click "Expand" next to "Stack Trace in the last entry.
What it's supposed to do is show a horizontal scrollbar.
What it's actually doing is expanding beyond the width of the window.
I can get it to sort of work if I give the <div class="stack"> element a max-width in pixels, but I want it to expand to fill no matter how wide the window is, without expanding beyond it.
How can I fix this layout? What's a general way with css to get an element to expand horizontally to fill its container while not going beyond the window's edge?
The Page is back on now!
I cann't get your table stuff sorted. There are some invalid width Parameters.
You should use div-Containers rather then tables to layout your page!
The workaround solution I came up with was adding a max-width to the expand/collapse div. It doesn't really prevent the table being wider than the window, but it solves 95% of the cases.
Don't use tables, use DIV's and for full width use
width: 100%;
This will always use up 100% of the browser window width.
You can provide you outer Div width:100% so it will take browser width. Or else you can calculate browser width with Jquery $(document).width(); and store this in variable and provide to your outer div.
I hope the title was clear enough to get the general idea. The problem itself is a little bit trickier. To help with the understanding see my illustration below.

Phrasing it out in full-text.
The outer-most container should always be vertically and
horizontally centered in the available browser window. Both Width
and Height are dynamic, but the height cannot exceed 90% of the
available window height.
The inside of the container has 3 containers.
The top-most container has a fixed height but the width should span
the entire outer container width.
The bottom-most container should also span the entire width of the
outer container, but it's height can vary, based on it's content.
Preferably, If the container is empty, the height should shrink to 0
(if possible).
The center-most container controls the width and height of the
outer-container, except, if the total height of the outer container
would exceed the maximum of 90% of the available window height. In
that case the center-container should show scroll bars.
NOTE:
If there is no pure CSS based solution possible and the help of JavaScript needed, okay, sad, but if necessary, what can I do?! jQuery would be okay in that case as well.
I have a problem regarding relative positioning. I want the body to have a background color of say, blue. Initially the page should be just of height 100% (that may vary from computer to laptop, of course, hence I can't specify a fixed height in pixels), thus the entire page should appear blue. In the middle of the page is an element, that has been set to that position by relative positioning (it can't be absolute, can it, in order to expand with its content). The element can expand vertically. If the height exceeds the boundary of the page, the page also should expand, the background of the expanded portion being still blue.
Now how do I achieve this? The only solution I can think of is to use relative positioning for the background element (which is blue and should remain blue on expansion). But for that, I must set it to the available height (relatively positioned elements cannot be assigned height through percentage value, so that rules out height: 100%). But the height itself will vary depending on the browser, viewport size, etc (and I can't use Javascript!). So how do I do this?
Is the height of the element in the middle known?

The JavaScript is just for changing the height of the div in the middle.
Is there a way to make an element not contribute to parent overflow, but keep it visible? Let me clarify
There is a watermark-like logo to be applied to a page in the manner below. It is supposed to be positioned partly outside the main content (dashed blue line)
I'm not aware of the option to set an element background in such a manner that it would persist as the browser window is resized horizontally, so I've just added a <div> with the logo as its background and position:absolute with the necessary offset relative to main content container.
Previously, the page would not get a horizontal scrollbar as long as the browser was wider than W1. Now, with an additional "watermark" element added outside of the main content box, the scrollbar would appear whenever the browser is narrower than W2
Is there something obvious I'm missing? A background setting, or possibly a neat margin workaround/
Update:
I've added a rough jsfiddle to illustrate the issue
Unfortunately, just because you nested the "watermark" div and positioned it absolutely doesn't make it outside of the document. If you put it outside of the document, the page will scroll (as you see).
To me, the first solution I think of is to move the watermark outside of the "content" div and apply the watermark to its parent container. I'm guessing you haven't done that because you need it to be relative to the "content" div, but it's something to try.
Also, the reason it scrolls is because the document has been overflow. The quick fix, yet not recommended, is to use "overflow-x: hidden;" on the parent container of the "content" div.
It's harder to give you a solution since you've stripped the rest of your HTML, and some "fixes" may not be as applicable if your structure is complicated in certain ways.
Remember that the width of your elements is greater than the actual "width" it includes padding & margins, if you have padding on your div reduce the "width" by the equivalent amount.
does that make sense? if you post the actual css & html it might be easier to give you a more detailed answer
additionally could you not assign the image as the background of the actual body element and set it to centered?
I've had a play with the code and come up with a possible solution for you.
set
body{overflow-x:hidden;}
then add
#media all and (max-width: 400px)
{
body{overflow-x:auto; }
}
as soon as your screen is smaller than 400px (the width of the div) your overflow:hidden will be overridden and you'll be given you scroll bars.
at this point you may also want to reduce the width of your watermark.
