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.

Hello all the web editing professionals! I have a bit an “alternative” problem:::
First off, here is my webpage that I need help adjusting elements’ heights and margins with::: www.rebelrock.fi. Please open that webpage in another browser window first!
So there are three DIV elements with the parameter position: fixed there; The MENU, the LOGO and the bottom FOOTER.
My problem is with the LOGO included DIV (at the top of the page, right under the MENU) and the main page content MARGIN-TOP positioning.
So as the browser windows size (actually the WIDTH) is changed smaller, at one point the REBELROCK .png-file LOGO IMAGE at the fixed-positioned DIV above will start automatically adjusting the width and height of that logo image. And when the logo is getting smaller (both by WIDTH and HEIGHT), then the HEIGHT of the DIV – inside of which the logo is – will be getting smaller too – and that’s exactly how I want it to be.
However, the non-fixed main content that is scrollable vertically, and especially the MARGIN-TOP value of that content will NOT be adjusted by the changing height of the FIXED logo DIV above, causing there unwanted space between the fixed logo DIV and the main content of the page.
So my question is; HOW CAN THE MARGIN-TOP VALUE OF THE MAIN CONTENT ELEMENT BE CHANGED IN RELATION TO THE CHANGING HEIGHT OF THAT LOGO DIV ABOVE IT?
As You can see, the pages are by far not finished in almost any way but I first want to have all the basic HTML/CSS to be perfect until starting to add more specific detailed content to the website. The site itself was initially a template of ADOBE DREAMWEAVER but that’s not important here 😊
I really hope someone here could help me.
Thank You in advance!
Yours, Tommi Tiihonen

This is an example of the effect I'm trying to acheive only without using images.
I want to create these screens that take up the entire screen like in the example. But instead of using background images to keep the content position, I'd like to use any HTML content within these screens. I'd also like to eventually ad a parallax effect similar to this.
So let's break it down. I got these background images on these screen elements. The background is fixed so it stays in the same position when you scroll. When you scroll down, the element moves out of view and another comes into view. It gives this effect as though the scrolling is causing a cover to slide up and reveal another screen. I want to keep this effect only without using background images. So I'll need some way to have some content remain fixed and have a contain hide it when it overflows an element that isn't fixed. But, as far as I know, there's no way to do this with CSS alone, am I wrong?
Like I said above, it would be interesting to have the content not remain exactly fixed, but instead slightly move it as you scroll giving it a slightly parallax effect. In order to do that tho, I'll need to use JavaScript. But, that's a bit out of the scope of my question, but I'd like to keep this in mind when coming up with the solution.
Thanks for all help in advance!
I am an HTML/CSS novice and am trying to build a website for my wedding next year. On the main page here I have identical ribbon images on either side of my main div. What I want to happen is that the site remains centered no matter the screen resolution (showing more or less of the ribbons on either side depending on the resolution). It seems to work for the left ribbon but the right does not want to cooperate. The issue is particularly bad on iPads where the entire site appears left justified and the entire right ribbon is visible.
Any help would be welcome,
thanks.
apply the following css to html:
overflow:hidden;
applying overflow:hidden to the img won't work, the img isn't overflowing relative to its own width. (in contrary to how you think the overflow property would work)
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'm making a webpage where I have a div ("container") that is a parent to the div "rounded". For some odd reason, the webpage doesn't let me scroll down even though both of the divs' height are larger than the screen.
Here's a jFiddle with the components that aren't working out: http://jsfiddle.net/pmg92/19/
Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
You need to take the position:fixed off the .container so that it allows the page to be scrollable
EDIT
Check this out here http://jsfiddle.net/pmg92/23/ I think this is what you are looking for. I took out the non relevant css so don't just copy and paste to yours. I eliminated your background rounded image in place of using border-radius because by using a background image you can't really shrink or expand depending on content. This won't work on older browsers unless you use webkits and so on.
If you want to use an image I would suggest slicing the image between a top, bottom, and middle. The top would contain the top section with the radii. The middle would be 1px tall that repeats vertical as needed. The bottom would contain the bottom section with the radii.
The problem is that you have the position of the container fixed.
