On my companys website http://www.ensorbuilding.com , the middle content always overlaps the left menu, sometimes the right menu overlaps the other two.
The code looks like this
<aside id="left_menu"></aside>
<section id="content"></section>
<aside id="right_menu"></aside>
I have used many javascript auto height fixes but none of them seem to have worked?
Can anybody shed some light into this?
Thankyou!
Haven't seen your code but if I made it, I would affect to the three parts (both menus and content) a fixed width.
For instance in CSS:
#left_menu{
float:left;
width:200px
}
#right_menu{
float:left;
width:200px
}
#content{
float:left;
width:600px
}
Elements' height does not matter for your issue.

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;
}

I am playing around with bigcommerce at the moment and I am trying to recreate the footer structure for the header. You can see here:
http://thespeedfactory.mybigcommerce.com/
If you look at the footer, how it is full width but the content is central within it.
I want the header to be exactly the same, black with pink/white highlights.
Ive tried moving around the structure within bigcommerce, but I am having a brain failure in getting it to do and look how I want despite knowing it is based around containers and margins.
Any guidance is appreciated.
If I understand you correctly, you want:
the header (#Header) to span the entire width of the page
the footer (#ContainerFooter) to span the entire width of the page
the header (and footer to have the same styling (colors, etc.)
the content area (#Wrapper) to stay a fixed width and centered on the page
To do this, add the following css:
#Container {width:100%;}
#Header {width:100%; margin:0, auto;}
The above css allows the header (by way of its parent container) to stretch the width of the browser page. You'll notice #Wrapper is shifted to the left. Add this:
#Wrapper {margin:auto;)
This centers the #Wrapper.
Your structure should be in place and now you can add your colors, etc. to the #Header to make it match the footer.
This is pretty basic html/css.
Just create a div, place a container in it and start styling.
HTML:
<div id="header">
<div id="container">
<p>content</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#header {
width: 100%;
height:400px;
background:black;
position:absolute;
border-top:3px solid #ff25a7;
}
#container {
width:90%;
height:300px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#container p {
font-size:30px;
padding:10px;
color: #ff25a7;
}
Here's a jsFiddle to help you get started.
You can try giving the header the same class as the footer and afterwards (if the footer's position is absolute bottom), set the position to absolute top:0px;
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 am currently working on a website design using the 960 grid system and came across a small snag in the final moments of the design.
Ultimately, I just want to set my header and footer bars to be 'fixed' on the page, so that they will remain stationary even when the rest of the page is scrolling. Here is a great example of a fixed navigation bar.
http://ryanscherf.net/
Mine wont be vertical, but you get the point.
The problem that I am coming across is that the header works perfectly, and exactly the way I suspect it will. Here is the HTML for my header
<div id="header">
<p>
ATS Logo
</p>
</div><!--end header-->
and the css to make it stretch and fix the position
#header
{
background:grey;
width:100%;
height:65px;
position:fixed
/*padding:15px;*/
}
This solution works exactly the way i want it too. However, when i apply the same exact settings to the footer, it causes undesired results.
Here is a fiddle to show what I mean. You will have to uncomment the 'position:fixed' line for the footer to see what i mean.
http://jsfiddle.net/s4cWP/
and full screen
http://jsfiddle.net/s4cWP/embedded/result/
Its worth noting that in addition to using my own css (located at the top of the jsFiddle!) i am using the 960 reset grid and 960 12 column style sheet.
I would really appreciate a push in the right direction. Is there something im not accounting for here?
Thanks!
I'm assuming you want the footer to always appear like the header: JSFiddle.
New #footer:
#footer
{
background:grey;
width:100%;
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
left:0;
}
Also, due to overlapping, I added padding to the bottom of the #container:
#container
{
padding-top:75px;
padding-bottom:30px;
}
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:
http://www.addictivetips.com/internet-tips/browse-internet-in-3d-using-mozilla-firefox-11-tip/
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.
