I'm working on a jquery slider, except instead of using a fixed-width container, I'm using the whole browser window. I've got jQuery set up to fix the margins to make sure it's centered correctly (although I just made them 500 pixels in the demo to keep it simple), but the problem is when I try to add more divs, it puts them on a second line instead of putting them beyond the edge of the browser. Here is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/JsPZT/
Eventually, I'll change the overflow so that they are hidden when they are beyond the edge of the browser, but for now, I just want to know that they are on the same line and not being pushed onto the second.
So my question is what should I change in the CSS to make sure the divs are always on the same line, even if it means pushing them beyond the edge of the window?
To get divs to stay on the same line when they are off of the screen, you have several options. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head.
Make the parent container always large enough to hold the divs you want to float. Theoretically, they shouldn't jump down to the next line that way, but I haven't tried it myself.
Another option is to use a combination of display:table and display:table-cell on the parent and children divs respectively. You just have to make sure you are supporting the browsers you want to support.
My last idea is to set each div with position:absolute. Then, just adjust the left attribute to 100% * x to place the div off the screen to the left or right. Depending on what you are trying to do, when they are off the viewable area you could just leave them at left:-100% or 100%. The same should work for the top attribute if you want the div to be off the screen above or below the viewable area.
Try white-space: nowrap;
If that doesn't work, you will probably need an inner div with a width that's the sum of all contained divs.
You need to add a width to your #track CSS. That is your wrapper, and without a width on that, the items will just overflow and drop to the next line. You'll probably have to add another div to set the overflow and get everything positioned correctly.

So, I have this code
http://pastebin.com/W3ggtgZB as css, and the body looks like this:
http://pastebin.com/2tkmhnfW
What I am trying to do is create a div with two children divs, one of which has a fixed width, and the other one I want to fill the rest of the blank space. I'm eventually going to want a div going across the top of this side div, too, but, that comes later. My issue is, the child div sub1 expands to be 100% of its parent width, which is an issue, because then it overlaps out of the parent div and keeps going. I tried things like floating left, using block and inline, I tried setting the width to auto (which makes it disappear for some reason) - but nothing seems to really work. It looks okay, at first, but when you zoom in, sub1 kinda follows its own rules. Can someone help me fix it so that sub1 will just fill in the rest of the space left in the main div?
Here is the answer:

Only need to specify the side column's floating and the rest will take place as you want, adapting the screen size as well.
Hope it helps!
I have to add a small banner at the top of a page and am having trouble with pushing the existing content down 40px so I can fit in the banner above.
The current layout has a lot of strangley positioned elements and they all keep moving out of place if I wrap the whole body area in a relative block div with a top margin.
Is there a technique that should work for this other than wrapping in a div like this?
If you do this, then you have to be careful that your CSS positioning on the divs that you want to move is not absolute. Because if it is, then they will just stay where they are. It should however, work if you add a div that encompasses everything and put a few pixels of padding on the top with CSS.
Why not just put a at the top of the page and set that div to clear:both afterwards. This should shift the rest of the page down 40px, or whatever you set the height of that div to. Of course, I'm just guessing here without looking at code and/or a sample site. Since I assume by strangely positioned you mean weird usage of position:absolute, this should allow your current setup to remain consistent.
I have a website with a few <div>s set up similar to this example http://jsfiddle.net/kLQ5z/1/
The problem is that if a visitor has a small screen, the outerContent will be off-screen.
Normally, scrollbars would appear, but because I've set the <div>s up in such a hack-ish way, they don't appear, and you can't even use your mouse's horizontal scroll.
Any help?
I played with your jsFiddle, and here's something that seems to work. Basically, what I used was an iterative process:
To make scroll bars appear when the floating box goes off screen, it has to lie within the content area.
One way to do that is to give the main box a fixed left margin, but to keep it centered, we then need to wrap it in an outer div with margin: auto.
To keep it exactly centered, we also need to give it a matching right margin.
But ideally, if the screen is too narrow to show it fully, we'd like that margin to be squeezed out before any scrollbars appear. What works like that in CSS? Table cells! So instead of a fixed margin, we use an empty dummy div with display: table-cell.
It's still a hack, and I'd be surprised if it couldn't be improved. Nor have I tested it very well, but it seems to work on Chrome at least.
I have this and it got an HTML img#logo-image, on some occasions it will not be displayed, display:none.
The problem is that the entire div#menu-title should fit the width of the page.
I tried putting width:100%, but when the img#logo-imag" is displayed it breaks the line being below the img#logo-image.
The width:100% does not work with elements float:left
Just unfloat the menu-title div and remove the width.. it will automatically be 100% of the header then.. and if the image is present it will adjust the ul#menu list to make room for it, which is a natural behaviour
if you want the menu-list to really only take the available width (say for a background color or something then you can add overflow: hidden; to ul#menu - though I don't see a need for that in your example code
here's a simplified version of your Fiddle - hover on the header to make the image disappear and see the ul#menu adjust to suit
Example Fiddle
You have both logo-image and menu-title floating left. Since they arent really in separate divs, they are all part of the same div, they appear next to each other. On top of that, you set the menu-title to be 760, which isn't the width of the page. At least that what it looks like you did. Do not use width 100% because resizing the page will shrink that menu title.
You really just have to play around with the divs, but i would say that separating those two divs would make you be able to stack them on top or below each other.
And in using Chrome's inspect element feature, I don't see a display:none for the image's css. I don't know why that would do that.
I'm really not sure of what you are trying to accomplish since making the div#menu-title width: 100% doesn't leave any room for anything else on the same row.
Why not let them both be inline and let the widths be whatever they need to be?
Anyway, I have a guess at what you want. You want those two elements to behave as being in a table, inside a table row, and each in a table-cell so that the image takes a maximum width, and the div#menu-title taking all of the rest of the place. In that case put them in a table, or use display: table-cell for the image and the div and fiddle around with that.
Here is my site, first of all.
You'll notice that underneath the divider bar in the middle of the page, there are three columns, one with a form, one with text, one with links.
Now, resize the window to slightly smaller, and the right div will drop down to the next line.
Is there anyway to just not display that? So, the divs will adjust (I have a liquid layout) up to the point where they won't fit, then, instead of wrapping the div down to the next line, it just won't be displayed?
You can also achieve that with CSS only.
Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:
#row4 {
min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
overflow:hidden;
}
This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.
Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:
http://www.thecssninja.com/xhtml/ie6-min-width-solutions
You can give them a wrapper div with a min-width set and force it to use a horizontal scrollbar if it gets too small. The nice thing about a wrapper div is you can give it a max-width as well and keep things from getting wonky on super huge monitors.
I'm not a fan of horizontal scrollbars, but it beats completely removing content.
Ok here is what you should do
Wrap all three floated division on a parent div, something like this
<div id="parent">
<div class="form">......</div>
<div class="text">......</div>
<div class="links">.....</div>
</div>
Now to solve your problem give a fixed height to the parent div like
#parent { height:400px;clear:both; }
You would have to use Javascript to get the width of the viewport, then change the display property of the div that is wrapping to display:none so that it doesn't show up when the browser width is too small.
