I have set the body and html to height:100% and I have set the element to Height:100% and the div is only contained in html and body, nowhere else.
Yet when displaying the element is 100% of the browser window height not the site height which is scrollable. I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't think of a reason why it is like that :/
You set the body height to 100% of the screen height, which is why it won't scroll.
The inner element at 100% will inherit 100% of the screen size.
try removing the height of the body and use px for the element until you develop more content on the site.
If you are still looking (or more likely, somebody has found this via google), I achieved what I think you are after here:
http://www.facebookanswers.co.uk/code/fullheight/demo2.htm
Its a self contained file, IE all the CSS is there with the markup, so you should be able to see what is going on.
The full article is here:

Basically, its a layout where the footer stays at the bottom of the window (thanks to the 100% div) until the content is more than the window, in which case it scrolls with the content.

I am making a header component and what I want to achieve is to make my header picture stretch to the full width of the webpage, even when it the browser shrinks, however when you shrink the browser the picture does not stretch 100% and is driving me insane. I don't want to remove the scroll-x property, so how can I fix this? What am I doing wrong? Here is is a picture of my issue:

And here is a codepen with my code:

So, as promised I found a solution.
Change display:flex from your parent div, to display: inline-block and remove width:100%. You div will have the size of your content, even when it overflows.
Setting the width to 100% will be relative to the parent, it was the body. However, the body didn't include the overflow.
I hope it works :)
PS: If you still need display:flex, create a child div, with flex attribute.
add this css
body{padding:0;margin:0}
Im trying to resize jumbotron so that it fills the entire screen. Basic site, just a row of nav pills with 1 giant jumbotron under it. I have only been able to find info on changing the width of a jumbotron
Yes, it's possible to change the height of a jumbotron. In the css of your code for jumbotron like chdltest said:
"Apply a height of 100% to the jumbotron, it's containers, body, and html"
The code for this should be something along these lines:
.jumbotron, body, html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%
}
This makes the height and width 100% for the jumbotron (if it's a class, if it's an id #jumbotron), body and html. Though keep in mind this needs to go after the declaration already of the height and width for your jumbotron, body and HTML. Though I'm assuming your linking this all to a separate css file.
Another similar question though not specific to the jumbotron was Make div 100% height of browser window. In the answer to this question it goes into viewports as an alternative to using the height:100%;, James goes into height:100vh;, which could be another alternative.
Apply a height of 100% to the jumbotron, its containers, body, and html.
Giving a height of 100% to only the jumbotron will only tell the jumbotron to have the height of its container (which I don't know what your structure is like because you did not provide anything other than a question).
Applying a height of 100% to its containers as well as to the body and height will enable it to be the full height of your screen.
I have overflow-x:hidden placed on the body tag of my page so that any content extending beyond the window will not be visible. No scroll bars show up, however, I can still scroll to the left / right to see the content (kinda defeats the purpose of overflow-x).
-ms-overflow-x: doesn't fix the problem either.
There is a wrapper 900px;
Inside the wrapper, there is a div inside:
width:100%;
padding-right:300px;
position:absolute;
left:200px;
I would like the inner div to hang over the right side of the window without causing it to scroll (and leaving a 200px space the its left).
Any help? Thanks!
Since the width of the div is 100%, there should never be an overflow, since the div will always fit 100% of the viewport (assuming you haven't changed the size of your body tag).
As for the padding, the padding is added on after the width, so you're saying the div is 100% of the width of it's container (the body tag), and the padding is an additional 300px to the right, which will be invisible as it's out of the viewport.
You might want to try giving the div an explicit size width and experiment that way.
It may help to see an example of your markup as well, to get an idea of what you're trying to achieve.
More HTML/CSS would be useful, but given what you have right now, my first thought is that your wrapper is still set to position: static (the default for HTML elements).
If you add position: relative to your wrapper, it will contain the absolutely-positioned element within it, and should constrain it to the overflow restrictions.
Additionally, you may want to look into the box-sizing property and how the W3C box model works. In short, your padding is adding to the width of the element, so it's actually (100% + 300px), which results in a size that is larger than the container.
If you don't want to mess with box-sizing, you can also add max-width: 100% to your absolute div to force it to not grow out of its container.
Whenever my website is viewed with a resolution that is insufficient to display the full page, a horizontal scrollbar is added. The problem is that my 100% width div with background image does not apply this background image to the portion that extends beyond the scroll bar.
This same issue is actually appears here on Stack Overflow as well. If you shrink your window small enough that you have a horizontal scrollbar, you can see that both the header and footer div areas do not extend the background image/color.
One way I have figured to resolve this is to set the header/footer div to fixed but then the content past the end of the div is lost :-(
Anyone have any suggestions or a workaround? ty!
When you set an element to 100% width it will have the same width as its parent element. The body tag's width defaults to the width of the viewport. According to the standard, when an elements contents is to big to fit in it, it will overflow. This is what you're seeing.
To get around this, set the min-width on the body tag. Something like the following, obviously change the width to whatever works for you:
body {
min-width: 960px;
}
Surly if you used something along the lines of
body{
background: url("yourdir/yourimage.jpg") repeat repeat;
}
Instead of having a background div? It'd be helpful if you also added the code for the background div
This margin is a browser scrollbar that appears during resizing and makes viewport smaller. This can be easily fixed by adding hidden overflow to body. Check #242684
In my CSS file I use this:
html,body{height:100%;padding:0;margin:0;border:0;}
Which causes a vertical scrollbar to appear on IE8, Chrome 5 and Mozilla 3.6, all latest version.
Also, the document is empty, it only has the html, head and body tags so nothing is going out of screen to cause that.
Setting overflow:hidden; on the html element will completly stop scrolling on the page.
How can I make it go away please but also keep scrolling when content is higher than display height?
Thank you.
I need 100% height in a XHTML document so that I can have div elements with 100%.
Anyway, I found the answer:
This problem only occurs when the top most element has a top margin.
It seems that that top margin gets added to the 100% height making it higher and causing the scrollbar.
So either use padding-top to space the top most element or use a with no top margin between the tag and the next element with a top margin.
overflow:hidden should help and prevent the display of scroll bars (you'll likely lose ~1px of content due to rounding errors
There may be better ways but I simply default to 98% which seems to obviate scrollbars in all browsers.
you could also set the height using JavaScript but that feels a little hacky
I ran into this issue today and found the scroll bar wasn't caused by a top margin on the first element, but by having BOTH the html and body elements have a height of 100%.
So, using this CSS rule:
html,body { height: 100%; }
I get scroll bars. If I change that to this CSS rule:
html { height: 100%; }
I get no scroll bars.
Peace...
The vertical scrollbar is coming because of height:100%. You don't need that unless there is a reason for you to use that.
Why are you setting 100% height in body?
It will get this height by default.
It makes sense to set height in body only if you want to set a numeric height in px such as lets say 600px
