I'm working on a new portfolio site which has a menu that looks like this: http://cl.ly/9rJ7
The Logo and three buttons are positioned absolute and have a fixed width (which will be changed by animation with javascript later).
The div to the right should therefore fit exactly into the gap between the third button and the browsers's right edge (as seen the screenshot).
I've already tried to give it a width of 100%, a position of left:700px and the parent div an overflow: hidden, but this doesn't seem like correct css to me, since the overflow doesn't work in some browser.
Any suggestions?

Try position:absolute; left:700px; right:0.
It's fine to set both the left and right properties.
If you float your left elements left, then add a div with margin-left: 700, it should fill the remaining space to the right.

Having trouble getting the black bar at the bottom of the slider to stretch full-width on the screen. It works on the left, but the right side is cut off at the container edge. Using Master Slider if that's relative info. Any tips on how I can get that black bar to stretch all the way across?

To fix the issue
Remove tranform property from the div having class ms-slide ms-sl-selected
Remove width property from the div having class ms-layer. As div is absolutely positioned, set left and right values to 0 to make it full width
Remove max-width and left from div with class ms-slide-layers also
Although I feel, structure is not proper, having relative positions within absolute creates problems. Still above fix can save you from re-write.
A few classes like ms-slide-layers, ms-inner-controls-cont and ms-layer have hardcoded values for left, width and, most limiting in this case, max-width.
I think this case would benefit from using the viewport width unit, vw by setting width: 100vw; you're telling it to be the width of the entire viewport.
Also, you don't need the padding and margin in 9999px. You can position: absolute the layer, have bottom: 0 and then use reasonable padding and align the text according to your needs to get a better, cleaner result.
First set a position (anything other than static) to its parent element. Then set the black bar's position to absolute. This way, it will be relative to its nearest parent element that contains a position. Next, stretch it out by either using height and width properties, or use directional positions (top, bottom, left, right). If youll use directional positions then use both left and right simultaneously and the black bar will expand across the screen.
Having problems executing a complex layout with minimal usage of relative and absolute positioning.
Here's my layout:
All my elements are floating left sitting side by side with only a single problem: the border img needs to bleed down into the next row. How can I do that while preventing the elements in the 2nd row (the CTA elements) from scooting down below the lower margin of border img?
This is what happens if I set the height of border img
For clarification:
The dom is such that border img is between main_sidebar and CTA_top_container.
main_side_image
main_heading_container
main_sidebar
border_img
CTA_top_container
CTA_Button_relative
Closing thoughts:
I have some ideas, like floating right the border img as a div (or susy's last) and setting background-image as 60% width and positioned on the left of the div or nesting an absolute positioned img inside of a relative container to nudge it over to the left, but i am afraid of destroying the fluidity of the layout (it's inside of a susy fluid grid).
Any thoughts?
If you float the border_img right instead of left (with some right margin to push it off the edge), everything else should be able to flow around it.
You might also want to use a grid with more columns. If you're always having to split columns into fractions, it's not really the right grid for the job.
I am using bootstrap to design web application. I have two main divs, sidebar div with span 2 which has position : fixed and right div which is of span 10. These divs has float : left property as per bootstrap css file as I am using row-fluid class.
So the problem I am facing is when window size is reduced after certain limit, user is able to scroll the content of right div and which is overlapping with left div. So I want hide the content of right div which overlaps on left div ( ie. left div, the fixed div, should behave like a left wall of browser window for right div).
I have tried using overflow property and also tried changing z-index of divs, but nothing seems to be working here.
jsfiddle link - here is the link I have reproduced the problem, there if you scroll left in result area, you can see the content of right div is overlapping with left div(nav list), as I have given left-margin : 240px to rightDiv. So what I want is, the right div content should not overlap left div, and it should be hidden behind.
Any suggestion on how to get it right or is there any other way to achieve the same?
I'm not 100% sure exactly what you are trying to do. If it's just hiding whatever is overlapping then applying a background-color to the fixed div will achieve this.
JSFiddle.
You can left padding equal to the width of left navigation to prevent the overlapping (imitate)
padding-left:140px;

I have narrowed down the problem to the 6 blueish boxes (the top 3 are under a div called offers and the 3 below that are under a div called properties). If I was to take them out, the space goes but I would really like to keep them in so I need someone to help me troubleshoot it so that I can keep the boxes and have no space below the footer.
I think my problem lies with the fact they are positioned with relative (all divs are positioned relative - bad idea I now realize that).
I have tried:
aligning the 2 divs with absolute positioning - that does the trick of getting rid of the space at the bottom/right however if I was to scale down the browser, the boxes go out of position..
removing all positioning and floating them to the left/right - removes the space at the bottom/right but doesn't go into the position I would like them to ( I don't think you can position floats with top/bottom/left/right or margin? )
Here is how to sort out the 6 boxes that you currently have as position:relative;
http://jsfiddle.net/F9Q6T/
The basic premise is that you float the boxes inside a container and then clearfix them to make the container the right size.
In terms of the issue at the bottom of the page you need to remove bottom:290px; from your footer. This appears to be what is causing the problem
I think main problem is body background image. You have used image of 1300px * 1000px size. i think you must use image of 1px width with repeat property.. And white space at bottom come due to bottom property of orders and properties div`
thanks.
Please reference the following example:
In it, an outer div 200px wide is meant to establish our page width. It contains an inner div 400px wide, but with left/right negative margins of -100px.
My intended end result is that the browser register total content width at 200px, not 400px, but horizontal scrollbars show up as soon as the window is resized to less than 400px. What is going on here?
Negative margins don't adjust the width of the div. A negative left margin will move the div to the left of it's position in the flow of the page, and a negative right margin will allow other elements to overlap the right hand side of the div by the amount of the margin.
You can hopefully see what I mean in this jsFiddle.
From your question it sounds like you need overflow: hidden to contain a large div within a smaller one without spilling out of its boundaries.
Gareth's answer is correct. Even with negative margin, the div is still part of the standard page flow and will not be ignored with respect to layout. Genuine page content cannot be ignored for scrolling purposes.
However, if you're doing this for an aesthetic, such as having a shadow down the sides of the page that extends beyond your max width, this can be achieved with a background - this question should help.
as Gareth already mentioned, margins do not affect the box size. The solution is rather simple. The outer container needs to be 400px, this is what is going to trigger the horizontal scroll bars. The inner container needs to be 200px with 100px left and right margins. When you resize the window, the scroll bars appear as soon as you have gotten smaller than the outer container.

Try adding this to your CSS...
body {
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
}
