I want to create a layout where I want to display an image to the left and content on the right. The image should stay constant when the content scrolls.
The css I'm using:
<style type="text/css">
#page-container
{
margin:auto;
width:900px;
background-color:Black;
}
#header
{
height:150px;
width:650px;
}
#main-image
{
float:left;
width:250px;
height:500px;
background-image:url('../images/main-image.png');
position:fixed;
}
#content
{
margin-left:250px;
padding:10px;
height:250px;
width:630px;
background-color:Teal;
}
</style>
The HTML:
<div id="page-container">
<div id="header"><img src="someimagelink" alt="" /></div>
<div id="main-image"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
Alot of time on this site and I have understood that background-attachment:fixed positions the image in the entire viewport and not the element it is applied to.
My question is how do I go about creating that kind of layout?
I do not want to give that image as a background image, as if the window is resized, it might get hidden. I want scrollbars to appear if the window size is less than 900px( my page width) so that the image can be viewed at all times.
That happens with this code, however I would like the image to start at my element instead.
How do I go about doing this??
Thanks in Advance :)
Edited:
I took the advice and added a position:fixed property to #main-image. Using the HTML and CSS as shown above.
Now, I also want to fix the header so that it does not move. Basically, only my content section should scroll.
However, if I add a position:fixed to the header, my #main-image and #content now sit on top of my header.
If I add a margin-top:150px (since my header height is 150px) to the #main-image, it works fine and moves down appropriately.
However if I add a margin-top:150px to the #content, my header moves down by 150px and still sits on top of my #content.
Can someone please explain why this is happening?
Thanks in Advance :)
Take a look at this link:
http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/
You can learn how to position Div's with it.
This will solve your problem:
#main-image {position:fixed;}
EDIT:
I'm not sure of what caused your problem but here is the solution:
#content{
position:relative;
top:150px;
}
My Guess:
I think that happened because when using position:fixed those 2 div's were positioned relative to the the browser window, while the other one was relative to the document itself.
In this link you will see more about positioning and you can test some of these features related to the position property:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_position.asp
About the fact that one div was positioned over another, you should search for the 'z-index' property. Firefox has a 3D mode so you can see this more clearly:

Set a min-width on html and body.
Have you tried setting your #page-container to relative and your #main-image container to absolute and setting the position using top, bottom, etc. Then you should also be able to float your #content container to the right.

I am currently building a website that uses two columns, inside a position fixed box to make the heights stay at 100%.
I need the content div to scroll down if the content is longer than the page (on 11/13" screens, page is responsive) - but by setting overflow scroll on the content, the background does not drop, and there is still content at the bottom of the page.
There are two links here, one is the page as it is, and the other is the page with extra content (to make it longer than your viewport)
Link 1 link 2
If you can help my solve this, i'll be thankful :)
Add Overflow:auto; It works fine. I checked it with that page.
The problem is the .bf_page is set to height: 100% - this is getting the full height of the body, however the div doesn't start at the top of the page so it continues under the bottom of the body tag for 100 or so pixels, meaning the last bit of content is getting chopped off (hope that makes sense?!).
The height of the logo (which is causing the page to extend) is 121px so you could do the following:
Change .bf_page's height to:
.bf_page {
height: calc(100% - 121px);
}
Set .bf_content_text to overflow: auto
I've tested that and it seems to work.
Taking out the "position: fixed;" on the '.bf_menu' class works for me, if you're having trouble getting the menu to stick to the top of the page, just hide the blockquote div with display:none.
Example:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
<div id="data">
</div>
</div>
</div>
#wrapper {
height:100vh;
width:100vw;
background-color:black;
position:absolute;
}
#content {
background-color:red;
height:80%;
width:80%;
position:relative;
overflow-y:auto;
}
#data {
background-color:yellow;
width:80%;
height:1000px;
}

How to clip my top bar with screen. So as I goes down on page i mean scrolling down the page the top bar should also move. Just like in Facebook the top bar moves on screen.
I am searching google from last 2 hours. But unable to get, that what we calls it.
and my HTML/CSS is ..
#topnavbar
{
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
HTML
<div id="topnavbar">
</div>
You're talking about fixing the position of the navbar to the top of the screen, right?
top:0;position:fixed;
-
#topnavbar {
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
top:0;
position:fixed;
}
In CSS, positioning elements is a fundamental concept. In this case, you want a fixed position. According to MDN, you should adhere to the following guidelines for fixed position elements:
Do not leave space for the element. Instead, position it at a
specified position relative to the screen's viewport and doesn't move
when scrolled. When printing, position it at that fixed position on
every page.
To reiterate, if you want to keep an element in the same position, regardless of where the page is scrolled, use position:fixed
#topnavbar{
position:fixed;
}
Example
It seems there are some sort of image slider on your page. So what I will suggest you to include z-index also.
#topnavbar
{
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
position:fixed;
z-index:500;
}
What you need to search for is how to use the css attribute position: fixed; to have a div or other element 'stay where you put it' relative to it's containing element.
Really quick and rough example:

So I know this is another centering question but I've been roaming around Google and SO for a couple days now without a solution so I'll ask now.
What I'm trying to do is horizontally center a fluid section element with a max width that has absolutely positioned elements inside it. The problem is, as you can see in my jsFiddle, the margins take up 50% of the available space with the other 50% used by the section. What I would like to do is keep the section perfectly centered but make the margins get smaller as the browser window closes in while keeping the section from re-sizing until the edges of the window gets to it.
I'd like to keep from using any table, table-cell solution because I read on CSS-Tricks that absolutely positioning elements inside table cells can be a real pain.
Edit Basically, the goal is to have the content take up as much space as possible without resizing until the view port width forces the content to be responsive.
Thank you for any bump in the right direction.
HTML:
<section id="wrapper">
<section id="content">
<p>Absolutely positioned imgs, btns, etc. go in here</p>
</section>
</section>
CSS:
#wrapper {
position:absolute;
width:50%;
height:300px;
margin-left:25%;
margin-right:25%;
outline:1px solid red;
}
#content {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
max-width:500px;
background:rgb(225, 112, 75);
}
You can use
#content {
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
to center your elements that will have a display:inline-block; property too.
EDIT: Now that I've better read your question, you can also use
#content {
margin:0 25%;
}
to center your second section.
here's your fiddle updated. As you can see by this fiddle everything is centered AND responsive now.
EDIT-2: Maybe you want to add some media query to reach your goal. Just add something like this at the end of your CSS file:
#media screen and (max-width:720px){
#content{width:100%; margin:0px;}
}
this says that when screen reaches the width of 720 and under, #content (and every ID/CLASS you put in there) will behave as declared.
NOTE that #media queries are not crossbrowser, you may want to add a script to make them work on every browser, I find respond.js a nice tool to do this job.
Also note that the #media queries must be placed at least under the default properties that you are about to change on screen resizing, that is why is suggested to add them at the bottom of your css file.
HERE is another fiddle with media applied (just try to resize the box to see the effect)
I wonder if this is what you were looking for: jsfiddle
I changed your wrapper to this:
#wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -150px;
margin-left: -200px;
width:400px;
height:300px;
outline:1px solid red;
}
So that your div now sits in the middle of the screen
i need to create a div in position fixed where i will put the image under a div with the rest of the content
i have put in my CSS header {
margin-bottom: 310px;
} to create a blank below space where there is gonna be my img in the div id="background" in position fixed below.
So then i have created the following id:
#background {
position:fixed;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:130px;
left:0;
z-index: 1;
overflow:scroll;
}
and
#content {
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:60px;
left:0;
z-index:2;
overflow:scroll;
}
The id background is supposed to be the div where my image is gonna be placed right in the blank space l after the header, the id content is the div where i am gonna have my page content and it start from the top.
Here the page : http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/4/
The effect i want to achieve is exactly this : http://tommywebdesigner.com/Home%20Page.html
but using the div to gain more flexibility. My problem is that i cannot insert properly my div id background in the position fixed with the image.
I think it s something very simple at this stage, How would you do that?
Hope the explanation is clear
You need to do that with background-position: fixed
I've shown you in this jsfiddle: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/7/
Good luck!
I do not understand why you put overflow: scroll on #background, it does nothing, really.
Same with the overflow:scroll on the #content. It is redundant.
In general I do not quite understand what your problem is: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/6/
I added <div id="background"><img/></div> where you indicated.
This of course still lacks styling for the header and content. (I added background-color to .container so it doesn't look too ugly).
I assume you have that somewhere else?
If you need more help, please elaborate in more detail what your problem is.
I've been working on this for hours, and reading over 20 articles and I still have no idea how to do this. I have a background, in which I want text to be positioned in a certain place. Everything is fine until I view it on a monitor with a larger resolution. The background re-sizes fine, but the text is no longer in the place I want it to be.
These images hopefully will clearly describe my situation.
How I want the text to look at any resolution (this is on a 1440 x 900 monitor) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9134840/demo/1.PNG
This is how it looks on a 1080p Monitor:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9134840/demo/2.PNG
<body>
<div id="blah">
<p id="pr">This is a paragraph!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
body {background-image:url(back.jpg); background-size:cover;}
#blah{font-size:large; left:300px; top:200px; position:absolute;}
edit: I tried both suggestions, using divs and positioning the text absolutely and relatively and still a no go, the text still moves.
#contain{
position:relative;
width:7000px;
margin:0 auto;}
#blah{font-size:large; left:100px; top:200px; position:absolute;}
I'm not looking for a fixed positioning, because I'm going to be adding content so I need to scroll vertically through the page without the text moving.
Your #blah div needs to be positioned inside a relative div. You might have problems with that if you absolutely positioning something in relation to the body. Place it inside another div or use fixed positioning.
#containerDiv {position:relative;}
#blah {position: absolute; top:200px; left:300px;}
<div id="containerDiv "><div id="blah"></div></div>
Or
#blah {position: fixed; top:200px; left:300px;}
In this case your div will always remain the same place if you resize the window. If you want it to be centered, use something like:
#containerDiv {position:relative; width:700px; margin:0 auto;}
#blah {position: absolute; top:200px; left:300px;}
Also bare in mind that background-size:cover; will not work in versions of IE.
Examples:
http://jsfiddle.net/mYcXX/1/ (absolute) vs http://jsfiddle.net/mYcXX/2/ (fixed)
This looks like fixed layout.
If so why just not cut the central part of the background and put it in a div with style:
{
width:960px; // maybe more or less - the width of the central image
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto
}
And position the paragraph relating to that container (the div)
I believe you can solve this problem by separating the background image style from your container. I could be wrong, but try something like this...
body{
background: url(black.png) top center no-repeat;
}
#container{
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I would recommend relying on the natural flow of the dom as much as possible. Basically, don't ever rely on position: absolute unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. And even then its probably a hack.
Okay, I figured it out myself, big thanks to yisela for the guidance. Ultimately though, here's what I did. I looked at a site, like yahoo.com and saw that they had everything centered and had a white background. So no matter what resolution you had, it will still look neat. With that in mind, I made sure my image was gray, and change the background to gray so it all blended in.
Now, as for the container stuff. I placed the image in a container by itself, and centered it. Then I just set the paragraph relative to the container. That way the text will stay in the same position.
html{ background-color:gray }
body{ }
#contain{
width:1280px;
height:2000px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background-size:cover;
background: url(back6.png);
}
#blah{font-size:large; left:120px; top:230px; position:relative;}
<div id="blah">
<p id="pr">This is a paragraph!</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And now..I think I'll happily go back to c#, after this wonderful experience with CSS.
