Uncomment the first float left id with the float right one and you will see. I left my tried solutions commented out as well.
You should have a full repro from a copy and paste.
I don't believe there is any way around this without using javascript. The browser renders a page relative to the top-left corner of that page, so anything positioned above or to the left of that 0,0 point is effectively off-screen. All overflow happens to the bottom and the right. It's the same way with content inside of any block element. So if you have an item positioned relative to the right side of the page, wider than 100% width. The part to the left of the 0,0 origin point will simply be offscreen.
I'd love for someone to prove me wrong though.
Here's a javascript solution that works:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
* {margin:0;padding:0;}
div#box {background-color:green;width:1000px;}
#box {position:absolute;top:0;left:0;}
.clearer {clear:both;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="box">
asdafdsf
</div>
<div class="clearer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function layout() {
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' )
this.screenWidth = window.innerWidth;
else //patch for IE
this.screenWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
this.el = document.getElementById('box')
if (this.el.offsetWidth > this.screenWidth)
window.scroll(this.el.offsetWidth,0);
else
this.el.style.left = (this.screenWidth - this.el.offsetWidth) + 'px';
}
function eventListener(el,action,func) {
if (el) {
if (el.addEventListener)
el.addEventListener(action, func, false);
else if (el.attachEvent)
el.attachEvent('on' + action, func);
}
}
eventListener(window,'resize',layout);
layout();
</script>
</body>
</html>
I had (what I think may be) a similar issue where I wanted to right-align a canvas element that is wider then the div that holds it. The div is about 300px, the canvas element about 1000px.
Using float: right, the canvas was right aligned but the scrollbars on the div disappeared.
I solved this with jQuery using scrollLeft() to set the initial scroll based on the div and canvas widths, similar to:
$("#div").scrollLeft(canvas.width() - div.width() )
I had this problem. I solved it by making the inner contents display:inline-block, then the outer container text-align:right. The inner content gets 'floated' right (as if it was inline text) but the scrollbar still remains. You have to reset the text-align on the inner content or all its content gets aligned right too.
If your inner content doesn't like being inline-block, then you're stuck with other solutions.

I tried almost every online technique, but I still got the top space in my website, when ever i open it with opera mini mobile phone browser,single layout view, so i decided to try fix it on my own, and I got it right!
I realize when even you display a page in a single layout, it fits the website to the screen, and some css functions are disabled, since margin, padding, float and position functions are disabled automatically when you fit to screen, and the body always add inbuilt padding at the top. so i decieded to look for at least one function that works, guess what? "display". let me show you how!
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
display: inline;
}
#top {
display: inline-block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="top">
<!-- your code goes here! -->
eg: <div id="header"></div>
<div id="container"></div> and so on..
<!-- your code goes here! -->
</div>
</body>
</html>

If you notice, the body{display:inline;} removes the inbuilt padding in the body, but without #top{display:inline-block;}, the div still wont display well, so you must include the <div id="top">
element before any code on your page! so simple.. hope this helps? you can thank me if it works, http://www.facebook.com/exploxi
I have a top navigator, and an iframe below the navigator which load the content.
The layout is kind of like
<body>
<div style="text-align:middle">
<div id="nav"></div>
<iframe></iframe>
</div>
</body>
The navigator is set to fixed width to match the width of iframe content which is not full screen width. So that the navigator and the iframe are aligned at both sides.
But when iframe's height grows beyond the screen, the vertical scroll bar for the iframe shows up and the the iframe becomes a little left(no longer in the absolute horizontal position) and not aligned with the top navigator.
How could I make the iframe always showing at the center even with a vertical bar?
I think this should be a common issue but haven't searched out a similar question here...
Edit 1:
Attach a full sample here to illustrate this question.Here index is the main page, iframe2.html is a frame without vertical bar and iframe.html is the one with a bar. The blue block(iframe) is not aligned with the other two:
index.html:
<html>
<head></head>
<style type="text/css">
iframe {
width : 100%;
padding : 0;
margin: 0 auto;
display : block;
}
</style>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden">
<div style="background-color:red;width:900px;margin:0 auto;padding:8px 0 8px 0">
<span>test</span>
</div>
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" src="iframe2.html" style="height:200px;"></iframe>
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" src="iframe.html" style="height:100%;"></iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
iframe2.html
<html>
<head></head>
<body style="padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<div style="width:900px;height:190px;background-color:green;margin:0 auto"></div>
</body>
</html>
iframe.html
<html>
<head></head>
<body style="padding:0px;margin:0px;overflow-y:scroll">
<div style="width:900px;height:2000px;background-color:blue;margin:0 auto"></div>
</body>
</html>
Result:
You can center the iframe using css,
iframe {
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
}
See the example: https://jsfiddle.net/bnby6umd/
After my comment (as this seemed to help you with the edits you have made):
Perhaps always force scrollbar even when it is not needed, and then align the navbar to that? body { overflow-y: scroll; }
and further to your reply, I would suggest the simplest way to keep the elements aligned would be to ensure they are the same width. As you are now forcing the scrollbar permanently, perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to add to the width of the first element, or remove from the width of the second, to account for the width of the scrollbar.
Although this would be very browser dependant as each browser may use a slightly different width scrollbar, as per this article, I suggest altering whichever width by 17 pixels, and see if that achieves the effect you are after.
UPDATE
Apologies, I misunderstood what you were after. The reason you are experiencing this issue is because you are getting confused between styling the iframe element and the content within the document it is displaying.
By setting the <div> within the 'iframe.html' files to a width of 900px, you are only styling the content being displayed. The 'outer' iframe element is being styled to 100% width, and so will span the full width of the window. Because of this, the centered content will be offset by the horizontal scrollbar, giving the appearance of not being aligned - however the actual iframe is not moving at all.
It is only possible to align the edges of two elements, regardless of their position, is for them to have the same width (obviously, as otherwise the edges could never line up). To do this, style the <iframe> to be of the correct width - what you do with the content behind that is then unimportant. This way, the width of the scrollbar will then be taken into account automatically, and the total width adjusted accordingly.
Basically, in the styling for the iframe, change width: 100%; to width: 900px;.
Here's a Fiddle.
I've tried to create a diagram to help explain:
On the left the content is offset by the scrollbar, whereas on the right, the element is styled and centered, not the content, and so the scrollbar just overlaps the content.
You may also like to take a look at some documentation and tutorials for iframes.
I am working on a page and it is a little lengthy, so I chose to link to sections of it using the method below:
Link
<div id="myID">Content that I would like in center of screen, rather than at the absolute top.</div>
Everything works correctly, as I am pretty proficient with basic stuff like this, but I am wondering if there is a way to make it so that the content I am linking to is a little farther from the top of the browser window, rather than immediately at the top. It doesn't have to be perfectly centered, maybe a margin of 100px or so would be fine.
Thanks
<head>
<script>
function change()
{
document.getElementById("myID").style.marginTop="100px";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Link
<div id="myID">Content that I would like in center of screen, rather than at the absolute top.sss
<pre>
s
s
s
s
s
s</pre>
</div>
</body>
All you need to do is add a little CSS:
#myID {
margin-top: 100px;
}
Hope that helps!
I have looked at this question which has been suggested as a duplicate:
Make a div fill the height of the remaining screen space
However it's from 2008 and is fairly old. I'd rather not use Javascript or tables to solve this and would prefer a CSS solution if at all possible.
Here's the code for the container divs up to and including the left hand nav:
/* Header Wrapper */
#header-wrapper {width:100%;height:120px;margin:0 auto;background:transparent url(/images/Structure/blue-transparent-repeat2.png);background-position:50% 50%;}
#clouds {height:120px;width:100%;margin:0 auto;background:transparent url(/images/Structure/clouds.png) repeat-x;background-position:50% 50%;}
#opaque {width:100%;margin:0 auto;height:120px;background:transparent url(/images/Structure/white-transparent.png);}
#header-content {margin:0 auto;position:relative;width:100%;max-width:1280px;height:85px;}
/* Content Wrapper */
#content-wrapper {float:left;background:url("/images/cream.jpg") repeat-x;width:100%;}
#shell {height:100%;width:100%;background:#fffef8 url("/images/Structure/signpost.gif") 5% 100% no-repeat}
/* Page Content Wrapper */
#page-outer{height:100%;margin:0 auto;padding:0 0.5% 8px;max-width:1280px;}
#page-content {height:100%;clear:both;margin:0 0.7%;}
/* Left Nav */
#left-nav {padding-top:7px;border-right:1px solid #ede9e8;float:left;width:20%;margin:0 0 110px 0;background:url(/images/header-repeat-left.png) repeat-y;background-position:right top;}
And here's a simplified page code showing the main content divs:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body class="home">
<div id="header-wrapper">
<div id="clouds">
<div id="opaque">
<div id="header-content"></div>
<div class="menu2"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="shell">
<div id="page-outer" class="clearfix">
<div id="page-content" class="clearfix">
<!--Start Left Nav-->
<div id="left-nav">
First of all sue the content in the left-nav bar is causing it to stretch so long. so if you want that , add more content. other way you can use height attribute and set it as long as you can. from what i understand html all elements are arranged according to width and once it runs out of screen they stack down .. since your div is 20% width , adding more elements will cause it to stretch downwards . Vote up if i am right !!
Instead of using floats use display: table; on the parent and display: table-cell; on the children. This will effectively "float them left" and also stretch their height to 100% of the parent.
Because I can't see your markup I can't provide an example, but you should be able to follow :)
I ended up fixing this using JS in head.css:
<script type="text/javascript">
matchColumns=function(){
var divs,contDivs,maxHeight,divHeight,d;
divs=document.getElementsByTagName('div');
contDivs=[];
maxHeight=0;
for(var i=0;i<divs.length;i++){
// make collection with <div> elements with class attribute "equal"
if(/\bequal\b/.test(divs[i].className)){
d=divs[i];
contDivs[contDivs.length]=d;
if(d.offsetHeight){
divHeight=d.offsetHeight;
}
else if(d.style.pixelHeight){
divHeight=d.style.pixelHeight;
}
maxHeight=Math.max(maxHeight,divHeight);
}
}
for(var i=0;i<contDivs.length;i++){
contDivs[i].style.height=maxHeight + "px";
}
}
window.onload=function(){
if(document.getElementsByTagName){
matchColumns();
}
}
</script>
Hey there! I have a bit of a sticky IE 6 problem (don't we all?).
I figured out what I think is a pretty neat way to have a div with a transparent background that shows the background's body image and containing non-transparent content. This consists of three divs really:
One big container div, one absolutely positioned transparent div for the background and one relatively positioned div with the non-transparent content.
I position the two divs inside the containing div so they sit on top of each other giving the appearance of a transparent background with non-transparent content.
The Containing div is pushed to the size of the content div. I set the transparent background's height and width to 100% causing it to take on the containing div's size. This then means that my background expands with the content making all my div's extensable.
This last bit is where the problem comes in. IE 6 does not cause the background div to take on the height of the containing div. If I specify a height it works fine, but this means that I loose the extendability of the whole thing.
Here is the basic code:
HTML code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="contentDiv">
<div class="tranparentDiv"></div>
<div class="nonTranparentContent">
<div class="contentBody">
<h2 id="quote">“time is given to let you apply what you have learnt in reality.”</h2>
<p>– Nandipha Nombuthuma, Concept Interactive graduate</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS code (save as “style.css”)
#charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
body{
background:url(bg.png);
}
.tranparentDiv{
-khtml-opacity:.6; /*several different ways to set the transparency to ensure cross browser independence*/
-moz-opacity:.6;
-ms-filter:"alpha(opacity=60)";
filter:alpha(opacity=60);
opacity:.6;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
background:#FFFFFF;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
.nonTranparentContent{
width:inherit;
position:relative;
}
#contentDiv{
width:500px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position:relative;
/*height:200px add this to work in ie 6*/
}
I'd appreciate any suggestions how I could work around this. I would hate to have to go and set a height every time I change my content.
IE6 can't calculate what 100% is without a height specified to the containing element. To my knowledge there really isn't anything you can do to get exactly what you want here with CSS, but you could use some sort of javascript to find the height of the container and then set the height of the transparent div to match the container's height.
Using jQuery, I believe it would look something like this:
var containerHeight = $('#contentDiv').height() + 'px';
$('.tranparentDiv').height(containerHeight);
