I'm going to have trouble explaining what I mean but bear with me. First here's my fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/jmajnqej/5/ (updated by Aziz)
#freelancewrapper {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1000px;
height: 440px;
background-color: #9D9D9D;
position: absolute;
}
I'm trying to get freelancewrapper to hug the right side of the screen with no padding. It needs to stay connected to the very right side of the screen no matter what width the window is. To make it more complicated it's parent div contentwrapper has to stay where it is with the same width and margins.
here is a representation of two screen sizes to show what I mean. http://imgur.com/a/IkOwx
Update: I didn't realize it at the time but this is a two part question. Positioning it was easy but getting the right correct width property is not. Here's my question for that Trouble defining width of a responsive div.
All you have to do is add the following CSS properties to your element:
position: absolute;
right:0;
jsFiddle fork
If you want the div to remain attached to the screen when scrolling, you can replace absolute with fixed.
Keep in mind that position: absolute works relative to the first parent tag with a position:relative. by default, that tag would be the body.
Also an important thing to keep in mind is that when an element is absolutely positioned, it will lose its space in the layout and hover over all elements.
I can't tell you the exact value you should need to achieve the desired result. What i would advice for trying to make your styling "responsive" is to start 1. from a mobile first approach(easier to up the screen size then downsizing).
To further answer your question try using relative units. your width for example is 100% this is relative. But instead of pixels try using em.
every ~16 px(not precise) is 1.0 em.
furthermore you can use position: absolute;
good luck further.
Like Paulie_D said you can use position
CSS
.contentwrapper {
width: calc(100% - 190px);
max-width: 1160px;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-left: 40px;
position: absolute;
right:0;
}
DEMO HERE
you can use negative right margin on <div class='contentwrapper'>
.contentwrapper{
margin-right: -48px;
}

I am trying to create a container that has two sections - the top section will be a scrolling div that takes up 100% of the vertical height of it's container, minus the height of a sticky footer. The sticky footer cannot have a hardcoded height (because it will work in two modes with two different heights) which is where I'm troubled. I would prefer not to use js, only css if possible.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="scrollArea">
a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>
a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>
a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>
a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<!-- the contents of the footer will determine the height needed -->
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.scrollArea {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom [height of sticky footer]; left: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
height: [height of sticky footer];
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
You don't want to be using position: absolute; on everything.. This will make it very difficult to style things because a absolute element technically has no height (from the perspective of other elements). You are further confusing things by using the "stretch technique" of using bottom, left, top and right all 0.
Your question is also a bit confusing in terms of how the height will be set.. Is it to be set through javascript? Through media queries? If it is either of those cases, you could easily set the height of the scroll area through the same method, allowing them to change in tandem.
If, for some reason you have to only set the height for this one element, you can let css table display properties do the work of calculating the new height for the scroll area, by setting the container as display: table;, and adding another wrapper around the scrollarea. Setting that wrapper and the footer to display: table-row; will get them laid out.
Check this out to see what I mean:
http://jsfiddle.net/6gprU/3/
Your code sample suggests that the height will be set, somehow.. though if this is not the case, and you absolutely cannot set the height (which would be the case if the content that went into the footer was dynamic and unpredictable in size) then you are making this increasingly difficult. In this case, it would depend on if the overall container height needs to stay a certain size. If it does, like I assume it would, then you may need to rethink your layout, as you have too many variables to be able to do it with pure css.
As a final addition to that, there is another option that would make this really easy. CSS has a feature called calc():
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/calc
This feature allows you to perform calculations in css, much like you would in javascript, and would allow you to set the height of anything in relation to anything, dynamically. However, I put this last, as browser support is a bit limited. It will not work in IE 8 or below.
Check this site to see where it will work, and then make the decision as to wether this is a valid option for you or not.

.fixed {
width: inherit;
height: 95%;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
position: fixed;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
}
Fixed div must be always on top and shouldn't cover the footer when I scroll.
100% height or from top to footer.
How can I do it?
The simplest answer is to drop the z-index of the fixed region so that when it would otherwise cover the footer, it instead moves behind it. You'll need to make sure the footer is position: relative;.
Fiddle example
If, instead, you want the two to never intersect, you're in for a harder challenge.
The best way to do it would to be giving your fixed element a fixed height, giving your footer a fixed height, and making sure that the fixed element height + the footer height <= the screen height.
Fiddle example
Those are really your only options - you essentially have to design around it. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to dynamically shrink the fixed element when it intersects with other elements on the page (ignoring the rest of the elements on the page is the purpose of position: fixed, after all).
I've cobbled together a quick and dirty implementation of what you asked using jQuery, offset(), scrollTop() and height()
Here's the jsfiddle example.
Is this what you wanted? If so - why? :)
I don't see any visual difference between this method, and the one where the fixed element goes under the footer.
on facebook if you hover over something with a lot of likes a div pops up showing everyone who likes the post. i was wondering if anyone could mimic the div in css and explain how i can do it. there is a picture below showing what i mean. i know you have to use a :after in css but im not sure how to position the triangle and all that.
Here is some code i found somewhere else:
#pointed {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: white;
}
#pointed:after,
#pointed::after {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -50%;
content: '';
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: solid 150px red;
border-left: solid 100px transparent;
border-right: solid 100px transparent;
}
The code you pasted there has the gist of it down. You can see a working JSFiddle here that makes it more like what you're going for.
There are two parts to this problem, I think. The first part is making the triangle. The second part is positioning the triangle.
Making the Triangle
The borders on the pseudoelement are responsible for that triangle we're seeing. If you're not sure how that's happening, take a look at this great answer that explains it quite well, I think.
Positioning the Triangle
The key to positioning involves making the child appear outside of the parent. We can do this by setting absolute positioning on the child. However, if we do this without changing the parent at all, the absolute positioning will be set relative to the window.
What we want here is positioning the child relative to the parent. We can do this by setting the parent element's positioning to anything other than static, which is the default value. In the code you pasted, you can see they set it to relative. For more about positioning, the working docs are pretty explanatory, I think. Another great resource can be found on CSS Tricks.
Anyway, we want our child to be just outside the parent. Accordingly, if we have a 5px high triangle, the child's CSS for positioning should look something like:
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
This will make it appear like its attached to the top, as you can see in the above JSFiddle.
After you've positioned it vertically the way you want it to, set its left positioning to get it where you want along the horizontal.
Though of course you must ask yourself if it's worth reinventing the wheel—tooltips come with Bootstrap Jquery.
I have an issue that only affect Chrome. Furthermore its only visible when the screen is at certain widths.
I've created a fiddle that can replicate the issue.
http://jsfiddle.net/T8LvA/63/
When you rollover the red box the width of the parent is animated to reveal more of the red box.
You may need to adjust the width of the html pane several times before you see the wobble,
Any thoughts on how best to resolve this?
Thanks
Use float:right instead of positioning it absolutely.
http://jsfiddle.net/T8LvA/70/
It happens because when you change the width, it extends to the right - then it's reflowed and moves back to the left to the correct position, which causes the wobble. Floating it to the right always keeps it there.
To clarify: you'll need to replace position: absolute width float: right on both #widget and .hidden for the correct result.
if you use postion you need use left and top, in this case it is useless.
Try fx you css in this way
#wrapper{
width: 100%; // was 600px
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
//position: relative;
}
I've got a navigational bar (#nav_bar), which has the following CSS properties:
#nav_bar {
background: url(../images/navbar.png) repeat-x;
width: 100%; height: 50px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
It takes the width of #wrap which is 1024px wide and has margin: auto;, however I would like to expand it so that it will fit all screen sizes 100%. I attempted to set width: 500%; just to see what it would do, then I realized that it expands from the left -> right, rather than both ways from the center.
So, what I'm asking is;
Is it possible to have an element expand from the center, then
perhaps I could set the max-width property or use javascript to
find out the visitors screen resolution then assign the width from
there; without major inefficiencies, i.e. extended load times/cross-browser compatibility issues?
Just for reference, a link to the particular page I'm talking about
Any answers will be greatly appreciated ;)!
Simply move your #nav_bar out of the #wrap.
Alternatively you can make your #nav_bar have position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 100%; in CSS, that will work too.
Why don't you use CSS3 Media Queries, to find out about screen size of your clients.
If your #nav-bar is a block-level element, like a div, a ul or a p element, then it by default would take the whole width of its container. Thus you don't need to set width: 100%; there. Also, you can use text-align: center; to center align the content.
In your case, you can use absolute positioning with overflow: visible attribute, and set the width of the menu. Also, you may simply extract your #nav-bar out of the wrap, to let it take the whole space.
use margin: auto
you can see an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/s995c/4/
