What I want to do is have a way to horizontally scroll through the icons on the top bar. No matter how I try to implement overflow I cannot get it to work. Here is a link to the page. Link no longer exists.
Note: that the scrollbar shall not cover the background image at all. It should be immediately below.
You need to set the width of that header div to be wider (width:2000px;). If you want a dynamic width (you dont know how many boxes will be in there) then you'll have to calculate the width with javascript (or serverside code like PHP).
Giving the .browser div a width of 2000px does the trick... then adjust the height of your divs to be tall enough to show the whole icon and name.
Let me know if that makes sense...

I am trying to get a div to expand to fill its container without causing that container to expand beyond the browser window's width, as in this page. Click "Expand" next to "Stack Trace in the last entry.
What it's supposed to do is show a horizontal scrollbar.
What it's actually doing is expanding beyond the width of the window.
I can get it to sort of work if I give the <div class="stack"> element a max-width in pixels, but I want it to expand to fill no matter how wide the window is, without expanding beyond it.
How can I fix this layout? What's a general way with css to get an element to expand horizontally to fill its container while not going beyond the window's edge?
The Page is back on now!
I cann't get your table stuff sorted. There are some invalid width Parameters.
You should use div-Containers rather then tables to layout your page!
The workaround solution I came up with was adding a max-width to the expand/collapse div. It doesn't really prevent the table being wider than the window, but it solves 95% of the cases.
Don't use tables, use DIV's and for full width use
width: 100%;
This will always use up 100% of the browser window width.
You can provide you outer Div width:100% so it will take browser width. Or else you can calculate browser width with Jquery $(document).width(); and store this in variable and provide to your outer div.

I have a fixed div at the top which will act as a menu and a content div below containing everything else. I cannot figure out how to use overflow-y: scroll so that the pages scroll bar is only used for the content div and ignores the header div at the top.
PrimeFaces's layout/layoutUnit components do exactly what you needed. And if I'm not mistaken, they use javascript to calculate and set an height to the content. Each time you resize your page it recalculates the values.
You can check their showcase:
http://primefaces.org/showcase/ui/layoutFull.jsf
I dare say, you need to set a fixed height for overflow-y'to work. And one way to make it dynamic is to somehow calculate the necessary values.
Also you could make them have dynamically calculated fixed heights by using css positioning and left-right-top-bottom properties.
Best regards..
I'm trying to stretch an image vertically in a parent container of my site (not the full body), it is the div with the id "imagen-fondo"
I have tried either backstretch plugin and also just css background-image with background-size to do it.
But the problem in both cases is that the calculated height of the parent container is smaller that the immediate child height, so, the background image looks smaller than the content itself.
How can I make it to be the same height as his immediate child or at least bigger?
You can see the live demo here:
http://50.21.181.12:3001/plantillas/mba
UPDATE:
I think the problem is that div#imagen-fondo is getting the height of the window and not of his content, that is the reason that when the screen is big, the problem doesn't happen, but when the height of the window is smaller than the content it happens, you can check it with this two screenshots, just as you start scrolling vertical the background image ends:
Something with overflows?
UPDATE 2:
For now I introduced some javascript to make it work,
Getting the footer offset position and stretching the height of the ".backstretch" div to that height.
But, if you resize the window to make the vertical scroll bar appear and inspect the page, you can still see that the parent container "#imagen-fondo" (from where backstretch should automatically get his height) is still getting the height of the visible viewport and not from the content itself.
If anyone finds a better way to do it CSS only will use that approach instead of this dirty one.
Clear floats in parent div using clear: both;
Or use clearfix on parent div.

Is there a way to make an element not contribute to parent overflow, but keep it visible? Let me clarify
There is a watermark-like logo to be applied to a page in the manner below. It is supposed to be positioned partly outside the main content (dashed blue line)
I'm not aware of the option to set an element background in such a manner that it would persist as the browser window is resized horizontally, so I've just added a <div> with the logo as its background and position:absolute with the necessary offset relative to main content container.
Previously, the page would not get a horizontal scrollbar as long as the browser was wider than W1. Now, with an additional "watermark" element added outside of the main content box, the scrollbar would appear whenever the browser is narrower than W2
Is there something obvious I'm missing? A background setting, or possibly a neat margin workaround/
Update:
I've added a rough jsfiddle to illustrate the issue
Unfortunately, just because you nested the "watermark" div and positioned it absolutely doesn't make it outside of the document. If you put it outside of the document, the page will scroll (as you see).
To me, the first solution I think of is to move the watermark outside of the "content" div and apply the watermark to its parent container. I'm guessing you haven't done that because you need it to be relative to the "content" div, but it's something to try.
Also, the reason it scrolls is because the document has been overflow. The quick fix, yet not recommended, is to use "overflow-x: hidden;" on the parent container of the "content" div.
It's harder to give you a solution since you've stripped the rest of your HTML, and some "fixes" may not be as applicable if your structure is complicated in certain ways.
Remember that the width of your elements is greater than the actual "width" it includes padding & margins, if you have padding on your div reduce the "width" by the equivalent amount.
does that make sense? if you post the actual css & html it might be easier to give you a more detailed answer
additionally could you not assign the image as the background of the actual body element and set it to centered?
I've had a play with the code and come up with a possible solution for you.
set
body{overflow-x:hidden;}
then add
#media all and (max-width: 400px)
{
body{overflow-x:auto; }
}
as soon as your screen is smaller than 400px (the width of the div) your overflow:hidden will be overridden and you'll be given you scroll bars.
at this point you may also want to reduce the width of your watermark.
I've been trying to make a horizontal web page. However I don't want to keep setting the width to a certain width to accommodate the content that is floated is there a way to have the Div automatically re-size to the content that it contains? This way all the content is floated or "horizontally" scrolling? I'm using width:"specific size" but as soon as I have too much content it overflows is there a way to not have that happen and also where I don't have to specify a specific width size?
EDIT:
What I want is the whole website to be horizontally scrolling. I don't want just the specific div itself to have scrollbars, but I want the div to be able to adjust it's width to accommodate the content no matter if I have 3 divs within it or if I decide to add 6 divs later into the div.
For example what I want is like this. (Where even if I have more content it won't drop to the next line) I mean can this be achieved with css alone?) I specifically want that effect where the whole website is scrolling not just the div I don't know exactly if that website is doing that. Basically I want the whole website to scroll horizontally not just a scroll bar on the specific div itself.
For example vertically if you have more content you can keep scrolling down that is what I want, but I want that in a horizontal scroll of the website is that even possible?
Here is my code Jfiddle Code which is for tumblr but I want this for more than just tumblr. As I'm thinking of doing this for a regular website but where I manually will add more list items or Divs. I just want to see if there is a way to have the width adjust to the content so the floated content doesn't drop to the next line.
I think what you need is display: inline-block;
Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ZDJbH/
Check this fiddle , is that what you need
div{
width:auto;
overflow:auto;
white-space:nowrap;
}
Set the css width property to auto
#yourDiv {width : auto;}
1.display:inline-block
2.float:left or float:right Because it will destroy line box.
3.position:absolute；（and without top, left or position:absolute) May be need to know information to use it.
