Div Extending Beyond Footer - html

i have been working on this layout for quite a while. this is the first time I am working with CSS and HTML. anyway. the problem is that the inner text inside this layout is extending beyond the borders of the "master" div container.
I am attaching all my files in a zip. Please Help me. Otherwise my boss won't let me get on to Javascript. CSS and HTML is really boring.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not sure if you want to hide the overflowing content or allow the user to scroll through it within div container.
Specify the overflow property for the div.theAllEncompassingDiv element to either hidden or scroll, respectively.
.theAllEncompassingDiv { overflow: hidden; }
or
.theAllEncompassingDiv { overflow: scroll; }
Read more on the overflow property here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_overflow.asp

Not that I'm too keen on doing your job for you, but the reason is that you've specified a max-height of 408 pixels in your .theAllEncompassingDiv{} CSS class.
If you remove that, the <div> will become all encompassing once more!

Nested child scroll/overflow

Here's the codesandbox, as the code is too much to post here, given the nested elements.
I'd like to have:
a horizontal scroll for the .content div.
a vertical scroll just for the .group-body div.
I've tried everything and I can't get it to work.
This rule does make it "work", but I feel like it's not optimal.
.body{
height: 90vh;
}
You just need to specify max-height for .group-body and then overflow-y will work as expected.
See this fix in your code
This should solve your problem - https://codesandbox.io/s/divine-dawn-1n8b1.
It uses a flexbox instead of grid layout.
Note: The code in the link was fixed after a comment pointed out an issue. To fix the scrolling, I set the parent elements that contain the sidebar and the content to overflow:hidden, and set the parent element to overflow:auto, which allowed for the scroll bars to be contained in the content div.

Body div element will not extend past certain point on the page

I ran into this issue while implementing a sticky footer solution. I have the footer working well, but my body element which encompasses everything within the tag just will not auto-extend beyond a random point further down that can only be reached by scrolling down (it's a lengthy page). My intention is for the body container (does that sound morbid or what?) to auto extend past all the div elements it contains. Isn't that what it's supposed to be doing? Right now there are still div elements sitting further down from where it ends, and the footer is sitting in the middle of my page right below it. If I can't achieve this behavior, I'll have to set the body to a fixed position in css, which I don't want to do.
Using the following CSS styling doesn't work, probably because my content extends beyond a page.
html, body {min-height: 100%; height: 100%;}
Can someone articulate what the most likely issues could be? Also, feel free to make any constructive comments on my code. This is my first web project.
Here's a link to my HTML code on CodePaste: HTML Code
And here's a link to my CSS code: CSS Code
Lastly, a link to a screenshot of my webpage showing the issue. Screenshot
The green bar is the footer, and the red border is the body element styled in css so it can be viewed. You'll see it ends right after the picture.
I'm pretty sure your main problem is setting the height of the body tag. Try not giving it a height (no max-height or height tags) or giving it height: auto to make it expand as its contents.
It could also be that you are setting child elements to positon: absolute which means that the parent will collapse to the size of whatever non-absolute elements are inside it.
Also, why the <p1> tags? They should be just <p>.
Code criticism:
It was extremely difficult to figure out what the problem was and I'm not sure that I gave the correct solution because of the way you showed your code. In future, try to give your code as a JSFiddle or a Codepen.
Also, consider using a CSS framework which will reduce the amount of CSS code you write a lot. I would suggest Bootstrap or Materialize but Bootstrap is more widely used.
Don't forget to follow CSS guidelines which will make your code more readable.
You could stretch the element to the full height of the window using vh.
.container{
height: 100vh;
}
You could then position your footer to the bottom using absolute position.
footer{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
I've used this in the past for full page landing pages that aren't meant to scroll.
I don't exactly know what the question is asking, but I experimented a bit and figured that if you remove the 1 from the <p1> so you would have a normal <p> tag, it moves the text up completely. I have a very rough JS Fiddle.
Thanks to all who contributed. Based on suggestions from Sankarsh and Ori, I was able to solve the problem. Once I changed my div to just as they suggested, I noticed it began functioning as I intended and forcing the parent element down beneath it. Unfortunately, that only solved the problem for that element alone. That led to me discovering the element had a default "static" position, while most of my other elements were set to "absolute". After changing the positions of the bulk of my content to "relative" or "static", everything is working as intended!
TLDR: If you want a child element to stay within the boundaries of its parent element, you need to set the child's position to "static" or "relative". You cannot use "absolute". This way, instead of overflowing beyond the border of the parent, the child will automatically extend the parent's border to its intended position.

Div contents extending size of page rather than scrolling its contents regardless of overflow attribute

I am blocking out a new page for my site that is going to be responsive with a sliding divide separating 2 columns. On the left column I have a couple vertically stacked divs, the bottom of which I want to scroll its contents when it overflows. I want only the div to scroll and not the entire page.
I have already set the overflow-y to scroll and while this does produce the scroll-bar it still expands the entire page rather than recognizing the edge of the window. I have a feeling it has to do with the parent containers size not being fixed and I thought setting it to max-height: 100%; would resolve this but it has not.
here is the jfiddle
jfiddle
It is basically just a grab from my sandbox site wtb.dsdcs.com but it seems to behave the same in the jfiddle so it should suffice.
Just a disclaimer: there is a video the autoplays in both the website and jfiddle that I left intact in-case its container is part of the issue, so may need to turn down speakers.
Clarification: #PlayList is the element I wish to be able to scroll.
You need to give your Playlist class a height - (e.g 400px). Then, as you add more a items you should get a scrollbar. You can remove max-height as that won't be needed.
If you want a dynamic height of the playlist, that always takes up the remainder of the height, you could add a jQuery script:
var h1 = $(window).height();
var h2 = $('.videowrapper').height();
$('.playlist').height(h1-h2);
Since your videoWrapper is set to take up 50% of the height, the other approach could be to set your playlist to have the other 50%. So set it to height: 50%.
.playlist {
padding: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 50%;
position: relative;
}
EDIT 17 Oct:
The reason the above might not work with all browsers is probably because of your implementation. Like I said in the comments below, you shouldn't be using table-type display properties because they don't support overflow very well.
The W3C even say that the overflow property only applies to block-type elements LINK.
The MDN suggests the same LINK.
As such, implementing overflow on any table-type element will always be a tricky and risky approach as browser support issues or browser display inconsistencies should be expected. To get a fully supported solution, I'm afraid you'd have to try other display properties such as flex or block.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get a fully supported solution for overflow on table elements, and therefore such answer cannot be provided. The only real "solution" here that would actually solve your problem would be a complete (or partual) overhaul of your entire site.
However, I hope the above gave you hint of direction of what to do next and as such being an acceptable answer for you.
Good luck!

Site width over a html code

My problem is hard to explain (especially when knowledge of English is at the primary level)
My test site: ----
On page is over than html code, you can see scroll to right. (On small resolution)
Picture of this: http://i.imgur.com/arCoPt7.png
How to fix that problem ?
If, something is not clear, and somebody don't understand my problem please ask.
(I am not giving CSS becouse is too much of code, so everything is in source code of website)
Sorry for my bad English...
your problem is the class statystyki inside the class menu.
in your p element you have width:100% and float left and the other elements right.
So you exceed the total width of 100%.
Try to make a width that dont exceed the 100% and also is best if you clear the floats.
Remove the extra margins and check all the divs width.
or simply add
this style to your body.
body {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}

HTML Internet Explorer 6 overflow bug

I have the following problem and I don't know how to solve it. I have an HTML table and one of the cells contains an input element. My problem is that in Firefox when I type something that overflows the input width the text will be hidden (which is the behaviour I want), but in Internet Explorer 6 the width of the input will be automatically expanded and the whole page format goes to hell because of it.
I've been doing some googling and it all points out to the so called "overflow bug" in IE 6, yet I have absolutely no idea how to solve it.
I've tried setting overflow: hidden on both the input element and the containing cell (td) with no effect. I've also tried setting a max-width again with no success.
Any ideas?
IMPORTANT Due to the way the application I'm working on is programmed I can only modify the CSS of the element, not other HTML properties...
can you set max input characters on the box that may help solve it!
hold on try this css!
table {
table-layout: fixed;
}
The first question would be : Do you really need to support IE6 ? Even microsoft stopped supporting it that a sign isn't it ??
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
You could try to put a DIV inside your TD. Set a fixed width in the style of the div and set its overflow to hidden. Then put your input box inside the div.
This way even if the input box expands it should be hidden by the Div hidden overflow. It might not be pretty since the box will look cut at the end but it won't destroy your design.
I'm not sure it will work though since it's a bug it might not conform to the rest of the css either.
Use this:
input [type=text] {
width: 100px; \\ That suits you best
overflow: hidden;
padding: 2px;
}
