I have a menu that's been giving me quite some trouble. What I'm trying to do is make the menu links, when clicked, reveal a drop down secondary division. However, it's acting as if the menu being revealed is floating and I can't seem to figure out why.
Here's the ideal design I want:
http://jsfiddle.net/WeL6j/7/
Notice how the grey division is affected and slides down as well.
I'd like the same thing to happen with the divs that hold 01, 02, etc and the one with the green 01. Basically all the content below the menu. I've posted a fiddle of my code just to give an idea of what it's doing and so you can edit it in real time. I haven't created any fallback code for it, so it's only really viewable in chrome. (sorry) It's also going to be messy as I've been moving things around trying to get it to work properly. Anyways, here's what I have so far.

Thanks in advance for the help, Brian.
Try this:

BTW, you should really format the nesting. It was confusing figuring out the div levels.
Hi you can define some properties in you css as like this
.content {
position: relative;
top: -7px;
z-index: 10;
}

I'm currently working on an online code editor. (like jsfiddle codepen etc...)
I got everything working, but I ran into one problem; If a user does something like this:
button {
background-color: red;
}
It also changes the properties of my "run code" and "reset" button I made.
same thing with other things like a div;
div {
padding: 500em;
}
because this will also change the div's Im using in my own code.
I fixed the issue using !importand tags after every line in my css but I'm wordering if there is any other way to fix this? or is !importand really the only way.
As said in the comment by CBroe. To do this you can use iframe.
A more original solution would be to create a web component with a shadow root (which isolate the style too). The support for this is not too bad even if it's fairly new :
But, I've used it myself and it's a little bit harder to understand at first
This is my first time posting here and I'm entirely self-taught, so bear with me please if I misspeak or say some dumb things.
I have a Wordpress blog. For quite some time, I have had my blog post format set up so that a "header image" displays across the width of the content space. Across the bottom of that image, I list the title of the post and the date.
To do this, I created what I believe is called a class -- I named it "container" and the only defining trait of this class is that it has "position: relative;" inside it's brackets. (It also has a "shadow" border. I tried taking this out and it had no effect.) This was done in the "additional CSS" section of the wordpress site.
.container {
position: relative;
box-shadow: 1px -1px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
}
I also made a class called "text-block" that is defined as follows:
.text-block {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-color: rgba(128,128,128,0.6);
color: white;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
Each post begins with opening a container. Then, immediately inside of the container is the image, with the width set to 100%. Then, still in the container, I put the text-block in, which is oriented across the bottom. The background color is opaque so that you still see the image behind the text, slightly greyed out.
Here is the code that begins the post of which I've attached a screenshot:
<div class="container"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-8056 size-full" style="width: 100%;" src="https://*mysite*/wp-content/uploads/thx-1138-film-confession.png" alt="Robert Duvall as THX 1138" width="831" height="364">
<div class="text-block">
<h2 style="color: white;"><em>THX 1138</em></h2>
<h6 style="color: white;">Review by *me* | November 6, 2020</h6>
</div>
</div>
The crucial part that I need to ask some advice on is the bottom edge of the container. Until recently, the bottom edges of the image, the text-block, and the container all coincided. Now, instead, a small amount of excess "padding" was added to the bottom of the container. So now, the text-block overlaps the image and some un-filled space beneath it, as you can see in the image. I can't seem to attach a second image of what it should look like, but I think it is clear what I'm trying to achieve.
I don't know where this excess "padding" came from. I didn't change anything -- no CSS was changed. I was just writing individual posts, copy-pasting the format from an old post to a new one to get the correct formatting. I was previewing a single new post when I realized the change, and I thought that I had messed something up on that individual post. But then I started clicking through my site and realized every single post now showed the error.
In the past, some other weird formatting things have happened that stemmed from a plug-in. I've deactivated all plug-ins and the issue remained. I've taken the text-block out entirely and the excess "padding" remains.
Like I said, I'm self-taught. I've really only learned things as I needed to know them. So it's possible I'm missing something simple or committing some grave error without knowing it. But it seems to me that my container lacks the definition that would cause it to be larger than an exact fit to what I put inside of it. Further, the fact that I did not change any of the underlying definitions seems to indicate it's some other kind of issue. But I don't know where it could be stemming from.
I would appreciate any help to figure this out!
UPDATE:
First, Akhilesh, thank you for the reply. Your suggestions did not directly lead to a solution but they at least got me into the spirit of trial and error.
I have found two "solutions" to this problem.
The first is to set "line-height: 0px;" inside of the container in "Additional CSS." This isn't ideal because it means that I can't type regular text in this container anymore. Not very elegant.
The second kind of seems like a fluke. As I showed above, my posts begin with:
<div class="container">**here**<img class="aligncenter wp-image-8056 size-full" style="width: 100%;" src="https://*mysite*/wp-content/uploads/thx-1138-film-confession.png" alt="Robert Duvall as THX 1138" width="831" height="364">
That is a single, unbroken line of code. By starting a new line where I indicate above, it solves the issue. As I stated in my initial description, I have not changed anything. All my posts have been like this since I decided on the format. And as Akhilesh stated, it works in the fiddler (which was a new tool for me, so thanks again).
So, problem solved, but what changed to cause the issue? Something in the way that Wordpress interprets HTML code?
Try adding this to the img element : display:block;
Also, try to find whether there's any padding/margin set for the h2 and h6 elements.
Because I don't see any issues when I tried. Here's the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/vL80u1a2/
If that didn't helped, try using the Developer Tools in your browser. Just right click on the element and choose Inspect Element. Then when you select an element on the left side, all CSS would appear on the right pane. You can try trouble shooting for the padding using that Developer Tools.
Have a look at this for more details on how to use the Developer Tools: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/css
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.
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;
}
I have a two column layout, with a gray sidebar on the right. I need the sidebar's height to expand when the height of the left column is increased (due to content being dynamically expanded). I can make the sidebar fit a static page, but I cannot get it to increase in size with the rest of the page. Did some Googling, but couldn't find a work-around that worked for me.
Does anyone know how to do this?
This is a common problem when using DIVS for this type of layout.
If you google 'Faux column' you should get some answers.
eg. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/
This may be slightly off but if you use jQuery on your site you can perform a quick calculation and resize all DIVs sharing a similar class to the maximum height:
$('.elements').height(Math.max($('#div1').height(), $('#div2').height()));
I have been haunted by this problem for a while and I wrote an article about this issue: Done with faux columns. Here is what I argued:
JavaScript based solution for this
problem is not worse than any other
solution. In fact if you are using
JavaScript, you may save a few hours
of frustration of trying to get things
working. People will warn you against
this by saying “What will happen if
the user turned off JavaScript?“.
Believe me, if the user has turned off
JavaScript, most of the web is broken
for him anyway. Your sidebar does not
matter to him.
As cballou mentioned, the simplest way to do this thing is to use JQuery code:
$(".sidebar").height(Math.max($(".content").height(),$(".sidebar").height()));
I changed the background-color to the same color as my sidebar, on that specific page, although I do have backgrounds for all my sections rather than one overall background. But that might not work for everyone.
In my stylesheet,
.sidec
{
background-color:#123456;
}
In my HTML page,
<body class="sidec">
content....
</body>
I recently saw a quite creative solution to this problem using the CSS properties position:absolute and border.
Definitely worth checking out to see if it works for you.

I'm not sure if this will help, as I'm a newbie. However, when struggling with getting my sidebar to show the whole content when I doubled it's size I did the following. I was changing my height and width with no response until I changed the class. My class was listed SB frame SB width. So when I changed my class to read SB height SB width it fit to my content instead of the original frame size. I also tried SB max sb width with worked too, but it took out my footer menu bar (meaning it wouldn't show it anymore). I went back to SB height SB width, and all is well. That's super duper elementary for all of you I'm sure, but just in case there is another newbie reading this that doesn't understand much about html code like myself... I hope this helps =)
Happy Holidays Everyone!
hugs, tara
I'm guessing you want to apply certain effect to your layout such that it will require both columns to resize together. If you want to dynamically change the values of the height of the columns, I doubt it will work simply with css unless you implement some javascript to control the style.
As Dal suggested, do look at the link on faux columns. As the name suggests, the solution isn't much about modifying the columns height. Instead, it gives the "illusion" that both columns appear to be of the same height when in reality they are not -- and is with the use of tiles of background image.
The idea is there isn't a need to complicate the mark-up. Simple structure with a touch of "illusion" with images is a common practice in web design.

With the poor attitude towards new members on here I expect to be barracked for this answer, here goes.
I got around this problem by creating a background image 960px wide 1px high with the two colors I needed for the columns in their respective widths (780px and 180px). I then used this as the background image for my container repeated on the y axis and made the content and the right sidebar background-color: transparent.
.container {
width: 960px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image: url(../images/bgs/conbg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
.sidebar1 {
float: right;
width: 180px;
height:auto;
background-color:transparent;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.content {
padding: 10px 0;
width: 780px;
background-color:transparent;
float: right;
}
I am sure that this method has its limitations but it works perfectly on all my pages.
It is possible that I have not explained this very well, if so, be nice about it will you please. I will endevour to expand on my method(which is probably already common knowledge).
