HTML CSS browser sidebar always visible in website - html

this is the most stupid question here on stackoverflow...
My client would like to have always visibile sidebar in all pages of his website..
Some pages have scrolling, other no, so he see logo and element jump position from one page to another of the scrollbar width ...
so... there is a way to "lock" the scrollbar space, so the he don't see "jump" form one page to another?
thank you

html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
forces the scrollbar to be shown always

use fixed position:
#sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
With the above, the container div will always stay 10 pixels from the top and left of the browser window. So when the page scrolls, it will not move.

footer is not sticking to the ground

This is how the footer is looking only on the Contact Page of the client's website.
If you notice the footer is not sticking to the bottom of the page and hiding the submit button.
I have tried below CSS but then it sticks and is always visible with scroll, like sticky nav. If I remove the fixed position it again leaves the bottom and hides the submit button.
.footerclass {
background-color: #eeeeee;
position: fixed;
top: auto;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}
It is only happening on one page i.e. Contact Us page. I am using "Contact 7 form" using elementor.
How can I fix this? So that it always remains on the bottom of the page for all pages no matter how big the form becomes.
Add position: relative to your main container (from what I can see that's your .site class), as well as min-height: 100vh. This will allow you to set the footers position to absolute, relative to the main container.
It will always be at the bottom of the content, but not stick when scrolling. Using the min-height will also ensure that even if there isn't enough content to scroll, the footer will still be at the bottom of the page.
The problem is with style
#media (min-width: 768px){
.elementor-section.elementor-section-height-full {
height: 100vh;
}
}
Easiest hack would be to add this to your custom css, but with height "auto".
Screenshot from inspector, where it is:
The issue is not with footer, but with content overflowing behind this because of fixed height.

allow scroll of div set behind another div

I have a iPad frame and want to have a larger image behind it (the page content) that scrolls down as you scroll. My css is more complicated then the example in the fiddle here https://jsfiddle.net/vk0jk37v/ but I cant seem to get even this to work.
in my real webpage I want to scroll down normally until I get to this image, then I want the scroll to effect the "page content" in this image. After I want to allow the user to continue scrolling normally after the "page content" of the image ends.
Edit: I have updated the fiddle and it rough but essentially what I am looking for except when I set the iPad frame to be on top of the image I am unable to get the content to scroll. the reason I need it under is to keep the image together when resizing the window with out covering the "fixed nav" or black side lines. Any thoughts on this? and thank you Felk for the hint in the right direction
Edit2: the image attached is the context in which I am applying this.
example html
<div class="container">
<img class="frame" src="http://s11.postimg.org/44ejhu0jn/ipad_frame_780.png" />
<div class="inner">
<img src="http://s11.postimg.org/xtwbnx937/ipad_content_660.png" />
</div>
</div>
example css
.container {
width: 70%;
position: relative;
}
.frame {
/* position: absolute; */
width: 100%;
z-index: 100;
}
.inner {
height: 558px;
overflow: scroll;
position: absolute;
top: 14%;
left: 38px;
}
.inner img {
width: 92%;
z-index: -100;
}
Ok. I was trying to fix your fiddle but at the end I have changed too much.
I will explain thought what I would do if I wanted to do your project. (hopefully if I have understood your question well enough).
First at all I would position the image of the ipad at the background with position:fixed and negative z-index. Now we have the image NOT moving at all as the position is placed relative to the window and not to any element. And also we have the first part of your content over the image and scrolling nicely.
Then we focus on the right flow of the html elements when scrolling so basically there will be more content under the first (and later under the image). I have added another div with red background to illustrate better the problem.
The html would look something like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="outer">
<img class="" src="http://s11.postimg.org/xtwbnx937/ipad_content_660.png"/>
</div>
<div class="frame">
<img class="ipad" src="http://s11.postimg.org/44ejhu0jn/ipad_frame_780.png" />
</div>
<div class="moreContent"></div>
</div>
Now we focus just on separate the top content from the bottom content. To do this we just add a big margin-bottom to the first content. Now when scrolling once you reach the end of the first content the image at the background will show then after the margin is over the last content will start flowing over the image (which is what you don't want)
basically we have this: FIDDLE1
Now it's just time to do a very simple jquery (it's always simple if I can use it). We just need to give some orders to the browser so I have used this:
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 1127) {
$(".frame").addClass('relative');
$(".outer").addClass('no-margin');
}
else {
$(".frame").removeClass('relative');
$(".outer").removeClass('no-margin');
}
});
basically I'm telling the browser that when the scroll is higher than 1227px (height) to add a class to frame and another to outer and if you scroll back to remove the classes.
Then The class I add to outer will just remove the big margin between first and last divs while the class add to frame will just make the container of the image relative so the flow of the html is normal and the image will keep scrolling down with the rest of elements.
Of course the 1227px I choose is based on the jsfiddle images you provided but in your future projects it won't be too hard to find the real height of your first content justinpecting it with chrome or simillar. same with the big margin I added.
The rest of changes was to make the sizes correct and center all elements in the window with at 600px width.
Here you have the final FIDDLE

Always display footer at the bottom of the page

I want to display my footer at the bottom of the page, relative to the content area. So it should adapt if my browser is smaller or larger, up until where the content area stops.
I tried to follow this link but I can't seem to get it to work on my website.
I added the PUSH div at the bottom of my content area
I set the correct heights and adjustments in the css
My footer is still displayed half way on my screen and also messes up the titles. The guys that sold me the Wordpress theme are reluctant to help me ...
If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be a great help!
I think this could do what you want:
body {
padding-bottom: 50px;
/* Set a padding-botton equivalent
to the height of your footer
this is for preventing the
footer to be covered because
of its z-index
*/
}
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -999;
}
Hope it works ;)
Add the following code to your css:
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
The footer will be always on the bottom.
Ok so the issue here is this, you can stick the item to the bottom as #Dzhambazov suggested either with position:absolute or position: fixed it is going to stay in place at the bottom even if that is halfway up your content.
So you can go with other alternates like: How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page?
Mentioned in the comments, but this is not going to be as easy with a prebuilt theme as you will be fighting with the theme dev's structure.
What you could do as a fix to make it more bearable is to increase the minimum height of the content so that it "fakes" the footer further down, this has its draw backs and could mean that your footer is off the bottom of the view port, but if it is irritating you to that level. you could try.
#content {
min-height: 200px;
/* forces the content block to take up space */
}
hope that helps other wise stick the footer to the bottom as mentiones and have it always display, but note that may trash mobile so you will want to remove the positioning via a media query for phones etc.

CSS - Dropbox website footer effect?

See dropbox's site here: https://www.dropbox.com
Notice how the footer "Learn more" stays at the bottom until you click or scroll down, no matter how much you resize the window?
position: absolute;
bottom: 50px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
Above is CSS for the footer part but thats not causing the effect.
How can this effect be achieved, I cannot figure it out.
I assume you're talking about that front page that always fills the whole browser window with the "learn more" sticking to the bottom of the window?
There are multiple ways to do this, here's one:
Put your first page in a <div> (or any other container) and set it's height to 100vh, which will always resize to the height of your browser window (100% of the view height).
The link "Learn more" is then simply attached using position: absolute;.
The following pages can then take any height, although you can use the same technique to make pages you can scroll through (similar to a slideshow).
You can try it using this fiddle.
Position:fixed is what you want, not absolute.

scrollable fixed div

I have a menu in a div on the side of the browser and I would like to keep it in the fixed position. However, the menu may exceed height of some screens and that would result inaccessible links. So I would like to make the menu scrollable in such a case. Unfortunately the combination
position: fixed;
overflow: auto; (or scroll)
doesn't really work. I.e. the scrollbar is faded out (immovable). Is there a way?
Thanks in advance
EDIT
The menu is similar to the one to the right up on this page. Only a bit larger. If you open that page and decrease the height of your browser window, part of the menu remains inaccessible. That's what I want to avoid.
And no, my solution doesn't work in IE, Chrome, Opera or Firefox.
Add these to your declarations:
top: 0;
bottom: 0; /* or height: 100%; */
You can replace the zeroes with larger values to add margins.
