How to create an overlay div to shadow the whole screen? - html

I am a new learner of html and jquery.
Please help me how I can create an overlay div which covers my whole screen, including the background image as well. I was able to create an overlay div but it does not covers my whole screen, instead it covers my container div and if i increase the width it stretches to right side but left part remains uncovered.I put my overlay div in the outer most div but still on increasing the width it gives extra width to right side only and left part remains uncovered.
.
My wrapper div has a background image for the whole screen but my overlay div is not able to cover left part of my container div. Please help me.
thanks

take a look at the blockUI plugin
http://jquery.malsup.com/block/
lots of different styles available!
the page blocking example is what you need, it works with a div or a html string for the message while the overlay is shown.

I got the answer.
YOu can put margin:auto; Now, your browser will take care of it and it will occupy the whole screen.

Expand CSS outer wrapper to fit all monitors

All the content of my site is centred in the main wrapper of my page. What I am trying to do is if the resolution of the screen gets bigger have a second wrapper expand and fill the space with a second background.
If you look at this site you will understand what I mean. http://www.cclonline.com/

My webpage won't let me scroll?

I'm making a webpage where I have a div ("container") that is a parent to the div "rounded". For some odd reason, the webpage doesn't let me scroll down even though both of the divs' height are larger than the screen.
Here's a jFiddle with the components that aren't working out: http://jsfiddle.net/pmg92/19/
Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
You need to take the position:fixed off the .container so that it allows the page to be scrollable
EDIT
Check this out here http://jsfiddle.net/pmg92/23/ I think this is what you are looking for. I took out the non relevant css so don't just copy and paste to yours. I eliminated your background rounded image in place of using border-radius because by using a background image you can't really shrink or expand depending on content. This won't work on older browsers unless you use webkits and so on.
If you want to use an image I would suggest slicing the image between a top, bottom, and middle. The top would contain the top section with the radii. The middle would be 1px tall that repeats vertical as needed. The bottom would contain the bottom section with the radii.
The problem is that you have the position of the container fixed.

How do I stop div and table elements from overlapping the header/footer?

I have a problem I haven't found an answer to in similar questions:
I have a site that dynamically resizes a horizontal scrolling image gallery and some text as you resize the browser. That part I have working OK, I just can't seem to get proper control of each respective element.
Take a look: http://john-godwin.co.uk/testsite
If you resize the browser, the large text overlaps the gallery before the gallery starts shrinking, and if you resize the browser small enough, the gallery eventually overlaps the footer as well.
Does anyone know what changes I need to make to the code to make everything stay within a boundary and resize respective of the other elements without encroaching into each elements space?
Thanks in advance.
The CSS can be found in http://john-godwin.co.uk/testsite/css/style.css
Remove z-index:500; in the .content class

window resizing in CSS

The problem is as follows:
I have a header which has a width of 100% (thus it is from side to side of the screen). My background image, starts soon after the header.
In the body I have a box with contents which is centered. When I resize the window I want that the background is overlapped, thus I want this content box to move to the left when doing so. Until it reaches a limit that the background is completely hidden. It will then reach a point that the box cannot shrink thus having a min-width.
How shall I make the box of content overlap the background without hindering the header?
(BTW I have no idea what the tags are. Because this website is asking me for tags)
Thanks
This layout is called Elastic because the page contents adjust as the window does.
Since you didn't provide the HTML, we can't help you anymore than providing the relevant CSS style to apply to your mysterious "box".
style="width:80%; min-width:500px;"
If you're messing with HTML and CSS, I strongly recommend reading up on the basics. The more you know yourself, the more we can help you.
