See attached image. How is this accomplished? Gosh, I've been going CSS for 8 years but somehow never had to do this!
Thanks!
This is how I do it:
<style>
#container { margin-left: 250px; }
#sidebar {
display: inline; /* Fixes IE double-margin bug. */
float: left;
margin-left: -250px;
width: 250px;
}
/* Definitions for example only: */
#sidebar { background: #FF0000; }
#content { background: #EEEEEE; }
#sidebar, #content { height: 300px; }
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
Example here
I had this implemented on my site a while back, but I lost the code. Here's a quick CSS mockup:
The HTML:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="left">
Mr. Fixed-width left
</div>
<div id="right">
Mr. Dynamic right. Scroll me!
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the CSS:
body
{
padding-left: 230px;
}
#left
{
position: fixed;
height: 100%;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 200px;
background-color: rgb(150, 150, 150);
border-right: 5px solid rgb(50, 50, 50);
padding: 10px;
}
#right
{
width: 100%;
height: 10000px;
}
This should work, and here's a live copy: http://jsfiddle.net/dDZvR/12/.
Note that whenever you add padding, borders, margins, etc. to the left bar, you have to increase the padding on the body. It'll save you a ton of debugging ;)
Good luck!
This new approach doesn't break the layout as the content box (right) organically grows. Also it allows to safely apply backgrounds and borders to the container box.
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.left {
position: absolute;
width: 80px;
height: 100%;
}
.right {
position: relative;
left: 80px;
top: 0;
margin-right: 100px;
height: 100%;
}
See demo.
You can always use table display layouts (sigh).
.container {
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
.container div {
display: table-cell;
}
.sidebar {
width: 200px;
background: gray;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="sidebar">fixed width sidebar</div>
<div>dynamic content</div>
</div>
This is the most straight forward solution I could think of.
Wrap both elements in a parent div set to relative positioning, then absolutely position the static side bar and set a margin on the responsive div the same width as the static sidebar.
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="fixed"></div>
<div class="responsive">xx</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
.fixed {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
.responsive {
margin-left: 250px;
}

I'm trying to build a website with 4 main divs (more to come later), 3 of which are fixed, so they dont move when i scroll, and one of them is not fixed. i've been going at it for around 6 hours and 30 minutes straight, googled for possible answers, checked youtube and spent atleast 2 hours looking at stackoverflow posts, none of which really pointed me in the right direction.

i tried changing the width of the .main div, but regardless of what i try the div either goes under the .contact or .menu div
the .paragraph divs go into to the .main div, to hold some text and images once the .main div is properly positioned. the sizes of the divs in my source arent completely like they are in my design yet cus i kept trying thing to maybe solve my problem.
the .js file is currently still empty so i didnt post any source of it.
Any help is welcome: links; sources; comments; if you know something that might point me into the right direction, please post it!
edit: i tried using a wrapper, but that didnt work out too wel for me, i probably did something wrong, i posted the source that looks the most like my design when i open in in browser.

I ignored your existing code and made a new, HTML5 and responsive way of creating such a layout. I hope this helps you in understanding this concept better
http://jsfiddle.net/7k9vhk4r/2/
The key is using fixed and relative positioning, together with creating offsets based on percentages.
I just changed this:
added margin:0 to body
Change .main rules to :
/*width: 100%;*/
margin: 200px 200px 0;
height: 2000px; /* to make it big */
/*left: ;*/
See the demo FULL PAGE
body {
background-image: url("background.jpg");
margin:0;
}
div {
margin: 0px;
}
.menu {
background-color: lightgray;
color: black;
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
top: 200px;
right: 0;
text-align: center;
position: fixed;
}
.contact {

In the code below I want the following conditions to hold:
The pink div always spans the viewport.
The pink div's text is always centered in the viewport.
The blue div floats to the right when the screen is "sufficiently wide."
The blue div stacks below the pink div when the screen is not "sufficiently wide."
The blue div spans the viewport and its text is centered when stacked.
The solution should be pure CSS.
Here's my current pass:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#parent {
position: relative;
background-color: white;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
}
#center {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
background-color: pink;
text-align: center;
}
#placeholder {
position: relative;
height: 20px;
width: 500px;
}
#right {
position: relative;
float: right;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>

<body>

<div id="center">This text should always be centered in the VIEWPORT</div>
<div id="right">this text should float to the right</div>
<div id="placeholder"></div>

This has worked for me to keep a spinning image in the same location on each side of the screen. Adjust left / right and top to position each div on either side.

Here is my solution. I don't know if this is best. For one thing, it requires you to set explicit heights. I set the defaults for mobile and altered for large screens per a best practice I read somewhere. I noticed that if you put this in JSFiddle it doesn't work properly, but it does if you use it in a browser (only Firefox tested).

I'm learning CSS and I tried to create a simple layout.
I set the "header" to have a width of 100%, the "left" to have a width of 20% and the "right" 80%. But the width of the header is greater than the total width of the left and the right. Why is that and how to fix it?
div {
border-radius: 10px;
}
#header {
z-index: 1;
background-color: #80B7ED;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
}
.left {
background-color: #5A9DE0;
height: 400px;
width: 20%;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
.right {
background-color: #BFD9F2;
height: 400px;
width: 80%;
float: right;
position: relative;
}
#footer {
background-color: #80B7ED;
clear: both;
height:70px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
</div>
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Edit
Thanks to your answers and to some reading I get now that the problem is the margin of the body section. When I use body {margin: 0;} the "left" plus the "right" take a bigger place in the page and the "header" takes a smaller place, so their widths are equal.
Another solution with the same result is adding a "container" div around everything with "left: 0; right: 0; position: absolute;".
I understand why these solutions make the "left" plus the "right" bigger (so they take the whole page), what I don't get is why the "header" is suddenly smaller. If the fixed "header" is out of the regular flow, why changing the margin of the body influeces it?
body {
margin: 0;
}
div {
border-radius: 10px;
}
#header {
z-index: 1;
background-color: #80B7ED;
border-top-left-radius: 0;
border-top-right-radius: 0;
top: 0;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
}
.left {
background-color: #5A9DE0;
height: 400px;
width: 20%;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
.right {
background-color: #BFD9F2;
height: 400px;
width: 80%;
float: right;
position: relative;
}
#footer {
background-color: #80B7ED;
clear: both;
height:70px;
}

When using percentage widths the margin, padding and border are not included in the calculation. So you want to be sure all of those are set to 0 on the corresponding elements.
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
Alternatively, you could use the box-sizing property which will make the calculation include padding and border. Then you would only have to account for the margins elsewhere.
box-sizing: border-box;
Here you go:
body{
margin:0px;
}
div {
border-radius: 10px;
}
#wrapper {
padding: 0%;
}
#wrap {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
#header {
position:fixed;
width:inherit;
z-index:1;
padding:0px;
height:50px;
border-radius:10px;
background-color: #80B7ED;
}
.left {
background-color: #5A9DE0;
height: 400px;
width: 20%;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
.right {
background-color: #BFD9F2;
height: 400px;
width: 80%;
float: right;
position: relative;
}
#footer {
background-color: #80B7ED;
clear: both;
height:70px;
}
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="wrap">
<div id="header"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
See here jsfiddle
EDIT:
If you wish to add a margin, I'd suggest you add a variable margin, for instance 2% or 3%, and then you substract that quantity from the left column, the right column, or both. And then you set the width of the #wrapp to be 100-2*x %, where x is the amount of margin you added.
Another way is to use overflow: hidden; for parent div and set width:100%; for the child element. This way, more width will be hidden.
I am trying to create 2 side banners (left and right) with fixed positioning, and a centered container for the content.
The problem is that when minimizing the screen, the 2 side banners cover the centered container. I need a CSS solution to set the minimum width of the view to 860px; after which, the window becomes scrollable and divs do not overlap. The perfect solution is:
The HTML I am using is as such:
<div class="left" style="position:fixed; height:100%; background-color:#7fb4dd; top:43px; left:0px; width:180px;">
</div>
<div class="center" style="margin:100px 180px 0 180px;">
<div style="width:100%;">
<div style="width:500px; margin:0 auto;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="right" style="position:fixed; height:100%; background-color:#7fb4dd; top:43px; right:0px; width:180px;">
</div>
The above code prevents the left bar from overlapping the center container; but the problem is still present with the right bar.
This is a fiddle of the code: preview
You need to wrap the three DIVs in a wrapping DIV and set the min-width to prevent the overlap. This prevents it from getting narrower than the three columns. Add up the widths, set that as the minimum.
Here is a pure HTML/CSS solution for you , tell me if it is not exactly what you needed.

The problem you are in is because of position: fixed; since that object is taken out of the workflow the other objects can't push it away. I was able to get a nice and fully responsive layout to work. (Let me know how it is)
Fixed positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The
document and other elements behave like the fixed positioned element
does not exist.
Fixed positioned elements can overlap other elements.
Updated answer to better suit his needs (JSFIDDLE, remove the show, in the url, to see code)
Okay what I am doing here is using css media queries to change the layout.
Here is the html,
<div class="wrap">
<nav></nav>
<div class="content"></div>
<section class="lSide"></section>
<section class="rSide"></section>
</div>
Now the media query,
#media only screen and (max-width: 680px) {
.content {
width: 90%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.lSide, .rSide {
position: relative;
width: 90%;
height: 100px;
margin: 10px auto;
bottom: 0;
}
}
Don't forget to add this to your head on your html file,
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0;">
OLD answer
The CSS, (JSFIDDLE, remove the show to see code)
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background: tan;
}
.wrap.active {
min-width: 750px;
}
nav {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background: brown;
z-index: 101;
}
.lSide {
background: #3b3b3b;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 20%;
width: 200px;
height: 80%;
}
.content {
width: 300px;
height: 600px;
background: #c1c1c1;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
z-index: 100;
top: 20%;
}
.rSide {
background: #3b3b3b;
position: fixed;
right: 0;
top: 20%;
width: 200px;
height: 80%;
}
.rSide.active {
display: none;
}
The JS, (updated)
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($(window).width() < '750') {
$('.wrap, .rSide').addClass('active');
}
else {
$('.wrap, .rSide').removeClass('active');
}
});
One solution I have, refer to fiddle next to css, is to remove the right side when a screen size is to small.
Okay so I have been working on implementing the 'holy grail'-style layout for my website, so far it's pretty close but I noticed two things I want to fix.
The goal is a 'sticky' footer with the page length expands with the browser window height, a header, and 3 columns. 2 fixed columns on the left and right side, and a fluid column in the middle.
The issues I am having are that right now, my center 'fluid' column doesn't seem to be acting like I expected. Basically I want the fixed columns to always be fully shown, with the center column filling the remaining horizontal space. But the center column is taking up a lot of room and making it so that I have to scroll to view the right column (see image below). Also, the 'text-align: center' code doesn't appear to be centering text within the viewable area of the center column. Any help appreciated!

No need to float. Just position: absolute the sidebars and give the center div fixed margin on both sides.
