Draw <svg> or <canvas> after headline [html, js]

I have a cool design and try to transfer it to a website.
What I want is basically shown on the picture below. I want a shape behind headlines.
I've seen a canvas solution once on a template, but I don't know how they did it.
Obviously I can’t use simple background-image, because the headlines are different long/ height.
So my idea is to grab the SVG.js – library ( svgjs.dev ) or something similar and put a foreach js script.
Get headline dimensions and draw a canvas/ SVG. Position the canvas/ SVG via CSS as relative.
Do anyone got an idea? Thank you.

It's possible to achieve this design if you use:
inline-block elements
a background-size style set to 100% (or contains if you don't want it to fit the whole width and height element)
an SVG background image (prettier than bitmaps)
So You could set this style for such elements (background-repeat style seems to be removable):
header, h1, h2 /* whatever... */
{
background-image:url("your_fantastic_resizable_background.svg");
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display: inline-block;
}
Thus, this design is kind of flawed: if two inline-block styled elements follow each in the code flow, the last will be appended next to the first, which is not you probably want. Hence, you'll have to insert between a line-break between:
<header>
<span>Test</span>
<span>For a great logo</span>
</header>
<br/> <!-- sad. -->
<h1>Test 1</h1>

Thank you, Amessihel, but this is not what I needed.
A background-image with background-size of 100% for a variable height/ length headline-object would look in the end like....not well done.
But somehow you pointed me in the right direction. I mean, I am not super happy with this solution, because it's height-limited - but it's working for now.
I just used the :before and :after selector to split the image how I needed.
<style id="SCSS">
h1, h2 {
position: relative;
background: #087f89;
display: inline-block;

Make Div fixed bottom & scrollable

I want to have a long page, with a fixed top 100px div, and a fixed 50px bottom div. However, I want the bottom div to scroll as you scroll down the page.
Its hard to explain, but the best example of this is on the front page of PayPal.com
On the first page load, the bottom div looks like it is fixed, and as you adjust the height of the browser window, that div stays at the bottom. Yet as you scroll down the page it is not fixed.
Can anyone explain how they have done this? I am trying to re-create something similar, but cant see how they have managed it.
As far as I can see they have this html...
<div id="fixed-top">
<header class="table-row">
// header content
</header>
<div class="table-row table-row-two">
// Video content
</div>
<div class="table-row">
//bottom content
</div>
</div>
And this CSS...
#fixed-top {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: table;
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
.table-row {
display: table-row;
}
But that alone doesn't do it. I also can't see any js thats getting window height and applying it to the main fixed div.
Help! :)
EDIT:
Have just found a way to do it with javascript, controlling the height of the middle row using the window height, minus the 150px for the header and third row.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('div.table-row-two').css({'height':(($(window).height())-150)+'px'});
$(window).resize(function(){
$('div.table-row-two').css({'height':(($(window).height())-150)+'px'});
});
});
But saying that, Zwords CSS only method seems like a winner.

From what I understand, you are looking for something like a sticky footer. So basically if the content is not enough, the footer should go sit at the bottom like its fixed, but if content comes in, it should scroll down like other content.
Try this - http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/sticky-footer/

First off, you'll need to set the height of the body and html tag, otherwise the table won't take the full screen. Then I altered your code, made it a bit easier.
HTML:
<div id="fixed-top">
<header>
// header content
</header>
<div>
// Video content
</div>
<div>
//bottom content
</div>
</div>
CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
#fixed-top {
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#fixed-top > * { /* makes all the direct children of #fixed-top a table row*/
display: table-row;
background: lightblue;
}
#fixed-top > *:nth-child(1) {
background: lightgreen;
height: 40px;
}
#fixed-top > *:nth-child(3) {
background: lightgreen;
height: 25%;
}
You can either set the height to a fix height (in px) or percentages. If you only give two of the three rows a height, the third one will automaticly fill up the rest space.
Also, check this demo.

margin:0px auto;

}
.wrapper .row{
display:table-row;
background-color:rgb(220,220,220);
}
.wrapper .row:nth-of-type(1){
min-height:15px;
}
.wrapper .row:nth-of-type(2){
height:100%;
background-color:white;
}
.wrapper .row:nth-of-type(3){
min-height:15px
}

You can do this easily with jQuery using $(window).height() and subtracting your footer/header's heights. See Fiddle for an example.

Slide content in from the left, overlay existing content and push across sidebar

I'm currently building a responsive site and i need to have a hidden div which will slide in from the left after clicking a button in the the left side bar. Once this button has been pressed the side bar will be pushed across from the sliding content (Sliding from the left) and overlay the existing content or push across the content in the right hand side.
This is where the problem lies as it's a responsive site. I would like the sidebar in the 'siteInnerLeft' div to be pushed to the right hand side of the page when the new div slides in. So after the content has sliden in the previous content is no longer visible until the sliding content has slid back out.
Here is a my JSFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/76xvB/2/
Hopefuly you can see what i'm trying to acheive. I've manaed to get it working until a point but the issue I have is the content sliding in is fixed and I don't want it to be fixed as there is more content to view and this removes the users ability to scroll.
I understand that 'position fixed' takes the element out of the document flow. So is this going to stop me acheiving what I want? If so, is there another way of doing it.
NOTE: The real site will have percentages not pixels because of it being responsive, this is a broken down version.
My current code:
HTML
<div id="siteWrapper">
<div id="siteInnerLeft">
<div id="homeNavLink">
<p>Click me</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="siteInnerRight">
<div class="pushmenu-push">
<p>Current page content</p>
</div>
<div class="pushmenu pushmenu-left">
<p>Content to slide in from the left</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>This is my footer and this content always needs to be showing and can't be hidden behind the fixed div</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#siteWrapper{
max-width:500px;
margin:0 auto;
width:100%;
}
#siteInnerLeft{
background-color:green;
width:100px;
float:left;
position:fixed; /* Sidebar that needs to be fixed*/
}
#siteInnerRight{
width: 400px;
background-color:yellow;
float:left;
margin-left: 100px; /*Compensates for fixed header width */
}
.pushmenu {
background: #e9e8e0;
font-family: georgia,times news roman, times, serif;
position: fixed;
width:400px;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
z-index: 1000;
}
.pushmenu-push{
left: 0;
overflow-x: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.pushmenu-left{
left:-400px;
}
.pushmenu-left.pushmenu-open {
left: 0px;
/* box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #d9d8d0;*/
}
.pushmenu, .pushmenu-push {
transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}
#footer{
width:100%;
clear:both;
background-color:red;
}
jQuery
$menuLeft = $('.pushmenu-left');
$nav_list = $('#homeNavLink');
$nav_list.click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('active');
$('.pushmenu-push').toggleClass('pushmenu-push-toright');
$menuLeft.toggleClass('pushmenu-open');
});
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

On completion of the transition, change the position of the sidebar so that it is not longer fixed. The answer on the following link breaks it down pretty well and has quality references:
Callback when CSS3 transition finishes

If the side-bar is fixed, you could create a scroll-bar inside for the content, so the text can be viewable; you could do this by adding overflow-y: auto; in the .pushmenucss class.
Another way would be to set the sidebar as position: absolute; and then dynamically change the top property from javascript when the user hits the sidebar's bottom.

How to set a position of an element 5px below a fixed position element

Ex: the 1st Div:
<div style='position: fixed; width=100%'> ....</div>
Now i want to put another Div 5px right below the previous Div. So i did
<div style='padding-top:5px; width=100%'> ....</div>
But it didn't work, seem padding-top compare itself to the top of window but not to its previous Div. If i remove the position: fixed; in the 1st div then it will be fine, but i don't want that.
I want the 1st Div got position fixed & the 2nd Div's position is 5px right below the 1st one. So how to do that?

position: fixed removes the element from the regular flow. You can't use flow positioning anymore.
There are likely proper ways to do what you want, but I don't know what you want because you told us about Y, not X: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem
I think I understand what you want. If you always know how high the header is you can just add an offset, padding and margin should both work.
<div id="header" style="position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 20px;">
<div id="content" style="margin-top: 20px;">Content goes here</div>
If the header can change height adjust your CSS so that the header and content change their height and content respectively.
<div id="container" class="adjustheaderheight">
<div id="header">
<div id="content">Content goes here</div>
</div>
#header { position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 20px; }
#content { margin-top: 20px; }
#container.adjustheaderheight #header {
height: 40px;
}
#container.adjustheaderheight #content {
margin-top: 40px;
}
If your header changes height dynamically you'll need to change the content offset dynamically although I would strongly advise you not to have a dynamic header.

Have you tried margin-top instead?
margin-top: 5px

You might wanna include both these divisions within another division and make this new outer division position fixed. Like this --->
<div style='position: fixed; width=100%'>
<div style='width=100%'> ....</div>
<div style='padding-top:5px; width=100%'> ....</div>
</div>

put the two divs in a wrapper posioned fixed. Also you have invalid css syntax width=100% must be width:100%.
<div style="position: fixed;">
<div style=' width:100%'> ....</div>
<div style='margin-top:5px; width:100%'> ....</div>
</div>
however, this makes the 2 divs fixed... and this might not be what you want. You could do the following:
<div style='position: fixed; width:100%'> ....</div>
<div style='position:absolute; width:300px;height:200px;top:300px;left:300px'> ....</div>
css values are just for example...
UPDATE:
is this what you want?
http://jsfiddle.net/kasperfish/K8N4f/1/
<div id="fixed">fixed</div>
<div id="widget" >content <br>hjgjhgjhgjhgh</div>
#fixed{
width:100%;
position:fixed;
background:yellow;
height:50px;
z-index:2;
}
#widget{
background:blue;
position: absolute;
top:55px;
margin-top:15px;
width:100%
}

If you have tried Margin and it doesn't work feel free to use padding as long as you don't have a background color or image within the div then you won't be able to tell the difference between the two ways of doing this.

Place animated footer under other divs

so I wanted an animated footer for my webpage using jquery. There's supposed to be a button which should trigger the animation. I found a nice example for all this, and everything is fine and dandy. Except that the button (including the footer) has this code that makes it stick to the bottom of your web browser, rather than to the bottom of the page. I do [i]not[/i] want it to, like, "scroll" along with the page, I realy want it to be underneath all my other divs. I tried putting it in the div container (which has all my other divs in it as well), but that doesn't seem to work.
Now, (after 2.5 hours of googling) I found out that it might/may/could have something to do with "absolute" positioning in the CSS, so I tried switching some things around such as giving the footer's container a relative position or giving it an "overflow: hidden;" along with the rest a left float but nothing seemed to solve my problem. (I could've done something wrong, not that great with CSS after all :-/)
I hope someone is able/willing to help.
P.S. Here's the example I used:
http://return-true.com/2010/04/jquery-pop-up-footer-version-2/
and here's the code:
Javascript:
jQuery(function($) {
var open = false;
$('#footerSlideButton').click(function () {
if(open === false) {
$('#footerSlideContent').animate({ height: '300px' });
$(this).css('backgroundPosition', 'bottom left');
open = true;
} else {
$('#footerSlideContent').animate({ height: '0px' });
$(this).css('backgroundPosition', 'top left');
open = false;
}
});
});
HTML:
<div id="footerPlacement">
<div id="footerSlideContainer">
<div id="footerSlideButton"></div>
<div id="footerSlideContent">

}
#footerSlideText {
padding: 15px 10px 25px 25px;
}
Thanks in advance!

if you change your #footerPlacement to include position:relative, you can change #footerSlideContainer to be position:absolute and then your footer will sit below any content above it.
However you will need to make the content have a min-height of around 350px for the footer to work properly and if your content isn't long enough, the footer won't be at the bottom of the browser.
I also added overflow:hidden to #footerSlideContent. I have made a fiddle to demonstrate:
