anchor positioning browsers - html

I am using the following html to position anchors under a fixed menu:
<a style="position: relative; top: -150px;" name="services"></a>
This works fine in Firefox but ie, chrome and safari all load the anchors to a slightly different position, obscuring the text 'under' the fixed menu.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could go about resolving this issue.

When I make sites like this, I like to make sure that each "page" has a similar class, but different id. When styling the class, make sure you give the following attributes.
.page {
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 1000px;
}
Adding the margin-bottom will prevent you from seeing the extra pages.
I also noticed that you are using jQuery for the slide to effect, I am not sure why you are using the styling for the a name. Just do the following:
<h1 class="page_title" id="services"><a name="services">Services</a></h1>
And make sure to wrap everything up in the page DIV.

Links not clickable on mobile devices in WordPress

I am experiencing weird behaviour with links in WordPress. See attached screenshot. The links in the piece of text are clickable on desktop, but when switching to mobile they can not be clicked anymore.
I inspected the element to check if some z-index or layer is blocking it, but I can't seem to find it. Also the rest of the blocks in the website click fine on mobile.
If you want to try for yourself, website link: https://www.keeperstalent.nl
The part that gives trouble is on the homepage somewhere around the middle.
Any help is appreciated!
You actually have a problem with columns overlap.
All you need to do is to make these two columns to have the same classes:
<div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12">
Though Andrey's answer will do the trick it may lead to undesirable consequences like this:
Now all links are placed over your header and popups
I was able to fix it by adding:
a {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
z-index: 2;
}
I'm not sure what was the problem, I just noticed that it works. And it only works with all of the three properties.

HTML links not clickable on mobile, but are clickable on desktop

I am having trouble with two buttons at the top of my mobile site
www.thefriendlydentist.ie
They are clickable on desktop but on mobile I get no response?
The html is placed in the header of the WP theme.
<div id="topcontact-2" style="background-color:white;">
<p style="background-color:white;padding:none;"class="call-button" id="call-button"> CALL US </p>
<p style="background-color:white;padding:none;" class="call-button" id="email-button"> EMAIL US </p>
</div>
You need check your all elements (divs) properly, I strongly suggest you using mobile device toolbar on Chrome or Mozilla.
If you look on desktop browser using by mobile device toolbar, you will see the some elements overlapping the all page. So your buttons that you want to click stay behind of those elements.
- Option 1: remove overlapping elements
- Option 2: use z-index to manage them.
<div class="mobile-bg-fix-img-wrap">
<div class="mobile-bg-fix-img" style="/* width: 375px; *//* height: 767px; */"></div>
</div>
You can see in image how above elements fill the page.
How Z-Index Works?
All of us are quite comfortable set some x (left:10px) and y (top:10px) values to elements by using CSS but not for z-index. Z-index property defines the level of an HTML element on the screen. Let's check the elements below.
In brief, z-index will define the closeness of the elements to the user. In this sample you can assign elements like below:
red square z-index:10
blue circle z-index:56
white square z-index:985
in this order, nothing will change. In this case, we know that z-index is relative. Another important thing, we need to know about z-index, it will only work on an element whose position property has been explicitly set to absolute, fixed, or relative
To deep dive, please check the z-index documentation.
How to Activate Mobile Toolbar on Chrome?
Mobile toolbar shows how your elements are placed in a mobile browser. Using this tool, you can detect almost everything you would expect to see in a mobile browser. You can also inspect and alter your CSS codes easily.

Other Possibilites For The Problem
1. Javascript Blocking
Using javascript, you can override original behavior of an HTML element. Check below code, this will prevent the real action of the <a> element.
Non-clickable Link
Using JQuery
<script>
$(".prevent-click").click(function(){
return false;
})
</script>
Using Javascript
document.getElementsByClassName("prevent-click")[0].addEventListener('click', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
return false;
});
Please check your codes carefully, is there any Javascript code to prevent the original action of HTML elements. In addition, to check this quickly, you can disable all javascript codes on Chrome by following steps below.
Open Developer Console
Go to Settings - right top corner of the inspection tool
Check the box (Disable Javascript)
Refresh the page.
Please go in to your CSS and make this change.
.mobile-bg-fix-wrap .mobile-bg-fix-img {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 125%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
background-size: cover;
}
To:
.mobile-bg-fix-wrap .mobile-bg-fix-img {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 125%;
background-size: cover;
}
The top and left set to 0 was overlapping the two buttons causing it that you could not click on them.
HTML links not clickable on mobile, but are clickable on desktop.
I have one solution. Try this
Html
<a href="https://www.stackoverflow.com" class="goclick">
css
.goclick{
position: relative;
z-index: 9;
}
For this, go to Google Chrome > Developer tools.
Inspect the element, if it is being overlapped by anything, add clear: both;
to the overlapping element.
Actually, in my issue, it fixed everything.
for me, i had a class with...
z-index: -1
which was forcing the parent <div> to the back. changing this to 0 or simply removing it, solved the problem

Dropdown Menu goes underneath image

Today I encountered a weird experience in my site LiveGreen
When I hover on the Menu Services, the dropdown goes underneath the image section below that. I tried every possible way like positioning and z-index ing and all kind, and googled a lot, am not bad with HTML and CSS still, it is testing me.
This theme is purchased, so cant post the code. you can check it from the website itself.
Please Help me.
Remove the z-index property on your .main class.
.main {
z-index: 1; /* this is causing your problems */
}
It's fairly difficult to pull off because there are so few unique classes to key off of. The root cause of the issue for you is that the element with a z-index that is higher than your menu applies that z-index higher up the DOM tree which makes it render on top. The best I could come up with is to apply the following, provided that the #aq-block-8801-5 block is always and will always be the nav menu container.
#aq-block-8801-5 {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}

Fancy Box appears under CSS-menu

Listen; I have read and read but couldn't find an answer that fit my problem.
I'm using Fancy Box on my website http://www.houdi.se/video.shtml but have the problem that the Fancy Box appears UNDER the menu when a video-link is clicked (its Responsive).
Viewed in a browser there's no problem since it fill up. BUT when narrowing the browser the menu problem arises. Also viewing the top video in an iPad.
I'm using Adaption-plugin from ProjectSeven for the website. It's a Responsive CSS layout: http://projectseven.com/products/templates/pagepacks/adaptations/index.htm
That plugin also uses Project Seven's Pop Menu Magic 2 for the menu.
I'm not a code wizard but I have tried to increase z-index but it didn't work OR I have not increased the rift one?
Have now spent several hours working with this problem and happy for all help I can get. Just tell me what code you want to see (or have to see).
Remove z-index from this div containing the menu:
<div id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh19" style="position: relative; z-index: 999999;">
The reason that the menu is on top of fancybox is because you're including the script 7PMMscrips.js on the page which manipulates the z-index and position properties of the main menu.
An ease way of solving this would be to just add the following css to your main css file:
#p7PMM_1 {
position: static !important.
}
That would solve the issue but i would not recommend it as using !important is a really bad practice. You can read more about why here: What are the implications of using "!important" in CSS?.
If i where you I would look into removing this script and create the main nav with just pure css instead.
Im no expert but looking at your css file for the navigation bar you don't have any z-index so you could try adding it.
your fancy box css file has several and the lowest is z-index: 8010; so setting you navigation to below that should resolve it.
Try using this code:
.navigation {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url(images/chameleon.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px -60px;
position: relative;
z-index: 90;
}

HTML5 & CSS3 Using multiple Pseudo classes and translateX/Y properties

So first of all let me admit I'm not the best at coding, I'm a graphic designer but I 'm trying to teach myself HTML5. I have managed to troubleshoot most of my problemsbut I'm stumped now.
Essentially my problem is when you click a thumbnail within the iframe, it aligns the thumbnail at the very top of the screen. I tried adding translateY to the "page" class, and I also tried it inside the iframe pages but that caused the main picture to be misaligned.
My testpage is online at http://www.brodylahd.com/index2
In reply to Cat Chen
yes i think that is what i need to do... but will it still have the same horizontal movement?
Thumbnail links aligning the it's container at the very top of the screen on click because you are using anchors (Uri Fragments) like #a1 #a2 #a3 in href attributes.
You can try to remove that fragments or prevent in-page movement using a small javascript workaround like this:
$('#thumbs').find('a').bind('click', function() {
return false;
})
This is an issue with going to anchors in iframe, so that browsers tend to center on the content in them if you're targeting them.
The simplest solution in your case (but not ideal) is to control where the scroll would be, so if you'll add
#a1 { position:relative; top: -186px; }
#wrapper { position:relative; top: 186px; }
The page would be centered more visually correct, but still would scroll.
If you want to still use CSS, you can try to change your links+#aN:target .page{…} behavior to a one, that would use labels and radio-buttons that would go before .page blocks: #aN:checked+.page{…}, but I'm not sure if browsers would or wouldn't scroll the page when you're using radios instead of links.
