I am trying to get a image to fill up the viewport and auto resize when the browser gets resized, which is working, the only problem is that for some reason I can't get the image to NOT extend outside of the #wrapper element, even though it has overflow set to hidden, I am assuming it is because I am using percentages instead of a fixed width and height?
Now when I put overflow: hidden; on the body element it works, but then when you select text anywhere on the page and drag down, it scrolls down to the bottom of the image, which is problematic as I have a footer menu that is absolutely positioned to the bottom of the screen, which then moves up with the image as it is dragged down, and ruins the whole effect.
So basically I just want to have a auto resizing background, that doesn't overflow the viewport and cause scrollbars, and that allows your positioned content to stay where it is and not scroll up when you drag down on selected text.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>project</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
<img src="image.jpg" width="1400" height="1200" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
I know this is an old post, but for the benefit of others, since position:fixed isn't the most compatible way either, changing your #wrapper element to have position:relative; solves the problem.
Thanks,

Ok, got it working, I changed this
#wrapper img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
to this
#wrapper img {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
so as you can see, all I changed was the position property, from absolute to fixed, and that did the trick. :)
Use CSS backgrounds instead of html img elements. You can use background-size to resize the image.

In my website I have two main divs - one for the banner at the top, and one for the main content. They both contain inner elements like imgs, iframes etc. but I don't think this is important for my problem which is: how can I make the scroll bar for the main content not overlap the banner?
If it helps, you can view the source for my actual website on my github. But to save wasting time looking, I've wrote a small snippet in html which demonstrates this issue:
document.getElementById("someText").innerText = "this is some content ".replace(/ /g, '\n').repeat(15);
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#header {
position: fixed;
background-color: teal;
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
#main {
postion: absolute;
top: 100px;
}
<body>
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id="main">
<pre id="someText"></pre>
</div>
</body>
It may be hard to see, in the snippet here on SO but the scroll bar on the right overlaps the banner and I what I want is for it to stop when it reaches the banner.
I have tried (in the CSS) setting the overflow of the body to hidden as this is the scroll bar overlapping the banner, but this just removes it entirely so I can't scroll - so clearly not what I am looking for...
I have also tried setting the overflow-y of the main div to scroll, but this does not work as a bar does appear where I want it, but it is grayed-out so not usable.
I have created a fiddle for you:
https://jsfiddle.net/3gvowvag/1/
Your HTML and JS stays the same. For your CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
#header {
position: fixed;
background-color: teal;
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
#main {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
max-height: 100%;
width: 100%
overflow-y: scroll;
}
So the changes are basically to give your html, body a overflow-y: hidden and your #main a max-height and width of 100% as well as overflow-y: scroll.
This basically does what you want - though I wouldn't be 100% confident about setting up the page like that. Absolute positioning and offsetting via pixels is a bit oldschool, also setting the overflow-y to hidden for html/body, not exactly sure how those things will behave in the long term. But pretty hard to fully think of this without further context.
P.S.: awesome cat!
You just need to add overflow-y: hidden; to the body (take a look at this previous answer) and then apply overflow-y: scroll; to the #main div.
document.getElementById("someText").innerText = "this is some content ".replace(/ /g, '\n').repeat(30);
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
overflow-y: hidden;
}
#header {
position: fixed;
background-color: teal;
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
#main {
postion: absolute;
top: 100px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
<body>
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id="main">
<pre id="someText"></pre>
</div>
</body>
You might find this easier with a flexbox layout. Maybe something like this. As example set the overflow to auto if you don't want to see the greyed out scroll bar
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
header
</div>
<div class="content">
content
content
content
</div>
</div>
.wrapper{
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
background:blue;
height: 100vw;
}
.header{
height:100px;
background-color:pink
}
.content{
background:green;
flex-grow: 1;
overflow:scroll;
}
I'm trying to use a <img> tag to show a photo over another div, as some sort of overlay. However, the image won't scale to be inside of it's parent div (which is the body of the page). Instead it overflows the body. When I set overflow: hidden; to the body, you can't scroll over the page. I want the image to be full-height and fitted within the body (without enlarging the body).
This is basically the structure of the page:
<html>
<body>
<div class="imgContainer">
<img class="actualImage" />
</div>
<div class="restOfBody">
</div>
</body>
</html>
And the css:
body {
background-image: url(*some background photo*)
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
max-height: 100%;
}
.imgContainer {
z-index: 2;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
max-height: inherit;
}
.actualImage {
max-height: 100%;
}
This is basically what is happening now:
The image that is drawn over the text right now, pushes the page down so far, that it actually exceeds the body of the html.
height in % will not work till you will use meta for height,
ok please use overflow:hidden at the place of overflow:none
make your image as background-image. I think it would be better.
Add a container in your body as shown,
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="imgContainer">
<img class="actualImage" src="banner.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</body>
and do this in css
.container {
width: 200px;/*sample width*/
height: 200px;/*sample height*/
overflow: hidden;
}
.imgContainer {
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 0;
max-height: inherit;
}
The .container is responsible for setting a boundary and by using overflow: hidden, prevent content inside .container to overlap. While in the case of .imgContainer make sure the position is relative to container, absolute will pull itself out the flow, which is not safe in your case.
this seems very weird to me. I have a full sized image and at the bottom of the image I want to insert contents and the title. but thing is my image covers up the contents and the title. Using page source, I have realized the image covers up my contents. How do I let the contents out of the image, without affecting the size of the image? I tried hr and br but both won't work.
div class="row">
<div class='col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-2'>
<img src="{{ news.get_image_url }}" class="className" >
<br />
<h1>{{news.content}}</h1>
</div>
</div>
.className {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
overflow: auto;
position: fixed;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
You using fixed position which cause your image cover the text and it will be always in the same position even if you scrolled down
try get rid of this like
.className {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
display:block;
}
see fiddle demo
It's because you use position fixed.
You can fix this by giving the h1-tag a top-margin evenly large as the image.
I am experiencing some strange behaviour when attempting the following (see jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9nS47/).
HTML:
<div id="slider">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="navigation"></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="button"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
HTML,BODY
{ width:100%; height:100%; }
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#slider
{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0px;
left: 100px;
overflow-y: auto;
background-color: red;
}
#wrapper
{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
min-height:400px;
}
#navigation
{
display: inline-block;
width: 80px;
height: 100%;
background-color: #0000FF;
}
#container
{
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
background-color: #00FF00;
}
#button
{
width: 22px; height: 100%;
float:right;
background-color: #CCFFCC;
cursor:pointer;
}
What I am trying to do is making a left side navigation bar that spans the whole visible window height and only Shows a scrollbar if its height is smaller than for example 400px. The scrollbar for that div seems to be always visible due to some resizing problems (there is an extra pixel at the bottom I can't explain[color:red]).
Firefox also moves the second child element below the first when the scrollbar is visible because the scrollbar seems to be part of the content area and thus takes up to around 20px space. This does not happen if Overflow: Auto is replaced with Overflow: scroll however.
ATM changing the layout (specifically the Container with Position: fixed) is not an option.
Don't mind the space between the green and the blue box. Seems to be a whitespace problem.
Since it seems like you are unable to change your 'wrapper' code much, I tried to change your original code as little as possible. In fact, the only thing I did was to add some jQuery.
Check out this updated jsfiddle. I have included jQuery and the javascript I added was this:
$(window).bind("load resize", function(){
//this runs as soon as the page is 'ready'
if($(window).height() < 400){
$("#slider").css("overflow-y","scroll");
}else{
$("#slider").css("overflow-y","hidden");
}
});
Basically, 'onload' and 'onrezise', the jQuery figures out if you should show the scrollbars or not.
The reason that your "auto" isn't working is because of the "fixed" position of the slider element. The browser cannot perfectly figure out the heights.
I am working on a layout for a new site, and I'm having some trouble achieving what I want with the CSS. First of all, I want everything to always stay within the view of the current browser window, with scroll being in my content and not the browser itself. I have an outermost DIV which acts as my "wrapper" for the site displayed centered, with a set width, and having 100% height of the bowser window. Inside of this I place a header and all of this works as intended in all interested browsers.
However, once I place my actual content DIV inside this "wrapper" I am unable to define it to be the size I want. If I simply give it margins or padding to make up for the header I have absolutely positioned, the content will overflow and I can't set scroll. And if I try to set the size directly, there are no values I can put in that will work since the margins/padding will add to the size and it will now be bigger than the current browser window, and overflow.
Are there any styles people can think of I can use on the wrapper/content DIV(s) to get the desired look? Here is a diagram illustrating the look I want.
The following assumes, that you have a fixed height for your header (not a percentage). This example uses px values to make it easier to inspect with Firebug, but it works the same with em.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin:0;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
position:relative;
width: 400px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
#header {
position:absolute;
margin-top:0;
height: 70px;
width: 400px;
background-color: #ccc;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 70px;
bottom: 0;
width: 400px;
overflow: auto;
background-color: #99c;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">Header</div>
<div id="content">
Content<br/>
Content<br/>
Content<br/>
Content<br/>
Content<br/>
Content
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The important point is, that #content doesn't use a height at all - it uses a combination of top and bottom instead.
Note: I'm pretty sure, that modifications will be required for IE 6 ...
<style>
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden; // prevents scroll bars in browser window}
#content_wrap {
width: 800px; // set this to whatever you want
margin: 0 auto; // centers the div
text-align: left;
height: 100%;
position: relative; // basis for absolute positioning}
#header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 20px;
width: 760px;}
#content {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 20%;
height: 80%;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;}
</style>
The challenge with this approach, and any that I can think of, is that without CSS expressions, you can't make the #content div height extend to the bottom of the screen except as a percentage. The trouble with this is that your header will not have a fixed amount of room in which to work. There's no CSS representation for your ideal "#content div should have 200px margin on the top and extend to the bottom of the page" set of attributes.
You could do this easily with JS, however.
