How can I make Html elements fit the vertical space?
This is what I want to achieve: DEMO but without specifying elements heights.
PS: I know how to do this with JavaScript, looking for a HTML/CSS solution.
Thanks
Edit after answers:
I want to keep this effect working (is already working) but without JavaScript, because is already consuming a lot of processor.
The effect: The title bar and the window content fit the total window space, for each window in my demo website.
Thanks
I found this works. But you should change the percentage of top and bottom to fit your site. http://jsfiddle.net/98YRH/11/
You are using ba-resize jQuery plugin, you can make your code lighter by increasing the delay option of the plugin, (default is 250)
I asume that by fit the vertical space you mean stretch the bottom of the browser if so you need to write in the css,
html {
height:100%
}

I'm trying to understand why on a webpage I'm working on the image stops scaling once it reaches a certain resolution. You'll see what I mean if you manually adjust the browser size here: http://bit.ly/1nnzqeB
Can anyone help deduce what is causing this?
Because the maximum zoom percentage is limited. In case of chrome it is 500%
Sorry to say, but it may be impossible with your current approach.
I highly recommend going for an approach without using the CSS attribute of background if you always want it to be 100% of the view-port width. Use an img tag instead. You are already using Bootstrap (by the looks of your demo). So use an img tag and give it the class of img-responsive.
DEMO WITH BOOTSTRAP
Here is an example with your image and how you could implement it into your project. If you need to place any text over the image (like in your example), just make the div or heading tag have a higher z-index with either a position relative or absolute. I can provide an example if you need it.

Basically, I'm trying to make my first website, ever, and I'm having trouble already.
I'm making the navigation bar and it's all looking good, but as soon as I put my browser into windowed mode, the navigation bar extends beyond what it was, so I have to scroll sideways to reach the end of it.
P.S.
I'm new to stackoverflow, still trying to figure it out.
So I might do something I'm not supposed to, just let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Edit 1:
I'm using Google Chrome.
Here is the JSFiddle with full code:

If you look at the header and footer, you should be able to see that the main section and navigation bar is actually wider than them.
The navigation bar and main section are within a div, while the other elements arent.
This effect is on a much larger scale without JSFiddle.
You want to create something like this: JSFiddle
If yes, then use % or emin place of pixels
Place the header and footer in the wrapper div and then decrease or adjust the width of the .wrapper div in your css.

Based on what #Aayushi Jain and #Shivam said use wrapper with percentage. That way, your wrapper will respond according to the window screen.
Look up responsive design if you want to know more about it.
My version would be to add width:100% on your wrapper instead of defining fixed width.
Also, practice on using ems and % like #Aayushi Jain said.
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
Been struggling with this for at least a couple hours now. Tried searching around but no solution seems to be working. So anyways, I have a template that I'm working on, and the issue that I'm having is that the sidebar on the left just will not stretch all the way down! If the window is maximized, it looks totally fine. Once you resize the window though it breaks, leaving a large gap between the sidebar and the footer. It also breaks if the content goes down the page any more than it currently does...
See for yourself here: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/template.html
and the css: http://bakedcraft.ca/laboratory/testsites/crock/css/default.css
Any ideas?
Add position:relative to your .main class
right now your side bar is 100% height of the window, not the main container. by adding position:relative to the sidebar's parent, when the sidebar is 100% height, it becomes 100% of the main div.
Sorry, this isn't really an answer but it's not letting me write a comment...
I looked at your code in firebug (firefox + web developer add-on) and it's showing a box constraint of 467px height I tried to quickly find where this 467px are coming from but can't see it with quick look (it's 4 AM). It's inheriting that height from somewhere, most likely from a combination of other size constraints of related elements. With all the positioning you have going on, in may be hard to locate.
One suggestion I have is if you plan on making a fluid layout you should work with em's rather than straight pixels. As I said, this isn't an answer but I did notice the size constraint of your sidebar. If this problem is still open in the morning I'll see if I can get a better look at it for you.
Alright I was running your problem through my head and I think I figured it out. Forgive me cuz I'm typing this on my phone and can't use firebug to verify if I'm right or not but the constraint I noticed earlier of 467px is n't inherited from another container it's being constained by the text in the sidebar div. If u were to add more text the box will grow with it. I believe what u may want to do is make a child conatiner within the side bar div. Your main sidebar div will only house your grey background color grey. Create a child div within the sidebar div and put your text and images into those. Make sure on the parent div you make it's height 100%. The height of the elements inside the child div shouldn't need height specifications since they will be inherited from the parent sidebar div. Hope this makes sense.
You can do the fix mentioned earlier with using jquery but remember if someone shuts of their JavaScript then your issue remains and your page will break. You should try to find and fix the root cause not use a bandaid that can be taken off.
I've already had a look through some posts and couldn't find what I was after. I'm designing something in PS at the moment and I can foresee an issue when it comes to coding the design into html+css.
Imagine my centre div, it's 960px. It's going to have a semi-transparent .png as a background. The design is “full width” so this div will be contained in a larger div, set to 100% width. This is all ok until I get to the background on this outer div. It's also going to have a .png running the full width of the page. Problem is: I don't want it running through the middle, as it will result in the middle have a double thickness to it, if that makes sense?!
Basically, I need a way to either run a div either side that is elastic, or someway of stopping the background from running across the centre 960px portion of the browser window.
I have NO idea how this can be achieved, apart from using JS to set widths, which I don’t really want to do.
Any ideas?
Ok, I’ve tried to get the basic issue here: http://jsfiddle.net/8Bznc/1/
You can just put a non-transparent background on the center div, so the other background doesn't show through.
See here: http://jsfiddle.net/9bnHD/
Apply the background-image only to the wrapping div.
Alternatively, if the center and sides need to have different images, give the center div a non-transparent background-color as well.
Also, you could fake it by using multiple background-images. Demo
Keep in mind this won't work in old versions of IE, but something as non-essential as background transparency can be excepted as graceful degradation.
The problem is as follows:
I have a header which has a width of 100% (thus it is from side to side of the screen). My background image, starts soon after the header.
In the body I have a box with contents which is centered. When I resize the window I want that the background is overlapped, thus I want this content box to move to the left when doing so. Until it reaches a limit that the background is completely hidden. It will then reach a point that the box cannot shrink thus having a min-width.
How shall I make the box of content overlap the background without hindering the header?
(BTW I have no idea what the tags are. Because this website is asking me for tags)
Thanks
This layout is called Elastic because the page contents adjust as the window does.
Since you didn't provide the HTML, we can't help you anymore than providing the relevant CSS style to apply to your mysterious "box".
style="width:80%; min-width:500px;"
If you're messing with HTML and CSS, I strongly recommend reading up on the basics. The more you know yourself, the more we can help you.
