Full width div triggered by onclick

My sandbox on JSFIDDLE
When 'OPEN' is clicked, the content div should expand to full width, but it ended up expanding by 100px width like on the red box. I tried to set width: 100%, in the gray box div and it didn't work.
In the .content class, I had the width set to 100vw without margin: 0 auto and it expanded 100% width to the right side, not screen-fulled size.
[]
I'm testing this function before I deploy it on my website.
jQuery -
$(".openit").on("click", function() {
$(".expandBG").toggleClass("content");
$(".openit").hide();
$(".closeit").show();
$(".text").delay(500).fadeIn();
});
$(".closeit").on("click", function() {
$(".expandBG").toggleClass("content");
$(".openit").show();
$(".closeit").hide();
$(".text").hide();
});
HTML -
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="back">BG
<div class="expandBG">
<div class="openit">OPEN</div>
<div class="flex-col">
<div class="closeit">CLOSE</div>
<div class="content text" style="display: none;">
<div>(CONTENT HERE)</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS -
body {
background-color: #000;
}
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
border: solid red 1px;
}
.back {
position: relative;
color: #fff;
width: 110px;
height: 110px;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
.expandBG {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
transition: ease 0.3s;
background-color: #192D38;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
bottom: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: #fff;
position: relative;
}
.flex-col {
flex-direction: column;
}
.openit {
display: block;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.closeit {
display: block;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
}
.text {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
margin-top: -25px;
}
.content {
width: 100%;
height: 50vw;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
}

It's because of the div with a class name back. increase the width of that div to 100% when opneit is clicked and then back to its original size when closeit is clicked.
// add this to your CSS file
.w-full {
width: 100%
}
then include these two lines in your javaScript file
$(".openit").on("click", function() {
$(".back").addClass("w-full"); // This line has been added to your code.
$(".expandBG").toggleClass("content");
$(".openit").hide();
$(".closeit").show();
$(".text").delay(500).fadeIn();
});
$(".closeit").on("click", function() {
$(".back").removeClass("w-full"); // This line has been added to your code.
$(".expandBG").toggleClass("content");
$(".openit").show();
$(".closeit").hide();
$(".text").hide();
});

Inherit padding width without position absolute? Is it possible?

Not sure, but I am currently not able to figure out. I'm trying to center the inner div (blue transparent one) from the parent (with the red background) inside the background. As an example, they're technically in each other perfectly at the first example in the snippet.
At the second example however I've added padding: 5px; to both of them to the red and blue one. To the blue one because I wanted to inherit the width some how.
https://jsfiddle.net/L8enbcy3/
.box-1-1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box-1-2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
position: relative;
}
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
}
<div class="box-1-1">
<div class="box-1-2"></div>
</div>
<pre>
</pre>
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
What I'm trying is to get "box2" centered into "box1" like example 1 but with its padding, so that's covered by blue. without having to position: absolute it, if possible. What I'm thinking I have to do is to create and invisibile box absolute it, "center it with top: 0 and left: 0 when the parent has position: relative. Then as I mentioned with it being absolute it would go to the corners of the parents padding too and then in the absolute box, I would create a relative one with display: table and put in all the content.
My question now though is, is there another way to do that?

Solution 1: transform: translate()
You could use transform: translate() with variables to achieve what you want, without weird margins (next solution). Here's some MDN about translate().
:root {
--padding: 5px;
}
.box1 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: red;
padding: var(--padding);
}
.box2 {
height: calc(50px + var(--padding)*2);
width: calc(50px + var(--padding)*2);
background-color: #0000ffb0;
transform: translate(calc(0px - var(--padding)), calc(0px - var(--padding)))
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
As you can see, the box is brought up and left with translate, and the height is lengthened by adding the needed padding to it. Thisachieves the desired cover effect.
Solution 2: Positive padding, negative margin
You could also use positive paddings and negative margins. Info below code snippet.
:root {
--padding: 5px;
}
.box1 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: red;
padding: var(--padding);
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: #0000ffb0;
padding: var(--padding);
margin: calc(0px - var(--padding));
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
What's happening here is following the CSS box model, found on MDN and w3schools. We're simply pushing out with margin and sucking in with padding.
Then, as per request in the comments, --padding is a CSS variable that stores the amount of padding that you want.
Hope I helped!
Cheers, Bobbay

You can add a negative margin if you insist on keeping the padding in place.
.box-1-1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box-1-2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
position: relative;
}
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
margin: -5px;
}
<div class="box-1-1">
<div class="box-1-2"></div>
</div>
<pre>
</pre>
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>

To center box2 within box1 without absolute position, you can use following css:
.box1 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}

Edit: example 2 illustrate your need. just remove padding from both boxes and settop: 0; and 'left: 0' with position: relative on box 2. I hope this is the required solution
to center box 2 you need to make its dimension less than box 1. consider the extra pixels added with padding. so the inner box width and height should be 10px less than the outer box.
Example:
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
}
.box1-1 {
border: 2px solid yellow;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2-2 {
position:relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="box1-1">
<div class="box2-2"></div>
</div>

JQuery drop functionality not working as expected?

I've been trying to implement drag and drop functionality using JQuery. I've got 3 'draggable' divs and 3 'droppable' divs. Div with id 'draggable1' should be accepted by div with id 'droppable1' and so on. However, it only works for one pair of the divs(draggable1 and droppable1). It doesn't work for the other two.
I think it's somehow related to the css positioning. When I don't set the margin properties for the individual divs, it works. However, if I want to position the divs elsewhere, the functionality doesn't work anymore.
Here's a jsfiddle I've created: https://jsfiddle.net/3ews8j8x/
HTML
<center><h3>Drag and Drop</h3></center>

Javascript code is provided in the link.
I want to know why it doesn't work when I try to change the positioning of the divs. Can it not be done or am I doing something wrong? I've been stuck with this problem for over 3 days now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

So there were a few fundamental errors. Firstly the .draggables are set to position:relative; These need to be absolute. You were positioning these .draggables with margins, you should be positioning them with top & left:
JSFiddle
.draggables{
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
}
#draggable1{
background: #003366;
}
#draggable2{
background: #ffff00;
top: 90px;
}
#draggable3{
background: #ff0000;
top: 150px;
left: 220px;
}

Centering CSS Boxes(Html and Css)

I am trying to center these boxes in the middle of the screen both horizontally and vertically. Another question is how can I make it where it re-sizes automatically when I scale my page?

You can use absolute positioning on the container to center vertically and horizontally:

To align vertically you need a wrapper class with position absolute in CSS. Search for vertical center which will fetch you lots of results.
To resize boxes along with screen resize - is responsive template. I could suggest you to use Twitter Bootstrap which takes care of your dimensions.

Change your .nav-color class to
.nav-colors{
position: fixed;
background: white;
height: 80px;
width:60%;
margin: -60px 0 0 0;
padding: 20px;
overflow: auto;
top:50%;
left:20%;
}

position: fixed;
background: white;
height: 80px;
width: 60%;
margin: -60px 0 0 0;
padding: 20px;
overflow: auto;
top: 50%;
left: 20%;
}
.home-link {
background-color: #00c08b;
width: 15%;
height: 80px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10%;

width: 15%;
height: 80px;
display: inline-block;
}
.contact-link {
background-color: #f8c54d;
width: 15%;
height: 80px;
display: inline-block;
}
.blog-link {
background-color: #df6dc2;
width: 15%;
height: 80px;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="nav-colors">
<div class="home-link">

<div class="portfolio-link">
</div>
<div class="social-link">
</div>
<div class="contact-link">
</div>
<div class="blog-link">
</div>
</div>

You just have to add some properties to your .nav-colors:
.nav-colors{
position: relative;
background: white;
height: 200px;
width: 60%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 20px;
overflow: auto;
line-height: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
And add vertical-align: middle; to elements you want to center vertically.

First the explanation, then some code.
Vertical centering is a classic css issue. The vh unit has come in very handy for this recently. Coupled with margin (and maybe calc) its now a solvable thing.
Centering it horizontally is simple enough, and you have that figured out. Just have a width and set margin: 0 auto and you are good to go.
With Vertical Centering the key thing to remember is you are centering your element, so half is over the middle, half is under the middle. With that we can make margin: calc(50vh-40px) auto 0 for your 80px high element and presto, it's in the middle vertically.
One step further:
Like horizontal centering, you seem to already have the dynamic width down by using %.
For a dynamic vertical size we can again turn to vh. The nice thing is this saves us the css calc function. Just subtract half the height from the 50vh margin and you'll get your margin. So for height: 20vh the margin is margin: 40vh auto 0
Here is a JsFiddle
and here is some code:
CSS:
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body{
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
.nav-colors{
width: 80%;
height: 20vh;
margin: calc(40vh) auto 0;
}
.nav-colors div{
width: 18%;
margin: 0 0 0 1%;
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}
.home-link{background-color:#00c08b;}
.portfolio-link{background-color:#ea5080;}
.social-link{background-color:#53bfe2;}
.contact-link{background-color:#f8c54d;}
.blog-link{background-color:#df6dc2;}
HTML:
<div class="nav-colors">
<div class="home-link"></div>
<div class="portfolio-link"></div>
<div class="social-link"></div>
<div class="contact-link"></div>
<div class="blog-link"></div>

jQuery div slide to left on hover a div/nextarrow

I am trying to implement something like this http://www.jamieoliver.com (slider -> arrow on hover)
I have done this much http://jsfiddle.net/PXLJG/5/ In the jsfiddle script? The arrow must be stand. The div.class=content 'Text next article' must be slide to left next to the arrow.
$('.holdingbox').hover(function () {
$('.rightbox').stop().animate({
width : '120px'
}, 400)
}, function () {
$('.rightbox').stop().animate({
width : '-0'
}, 400)
});
HTML:
<div class="holdingbox">
<a href="#">
<div class="margined">
<div class="rightbox">
<div class="content"><p>Következő cikk</p></div>
</div>
<div class="leftbox"> > </div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
CSS:
div {
display : inline-block;
}
.holdingbox {
position: relative;
top: 0;
margin-left: 100px;
}
.leftbox {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
height: 36px;
background-color: #ac193d;
color: #FFF;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1px;
}
.holdingbox a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
display: block;
}
.leftbox img {
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.rightbox {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
width: 0;
height: 50px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-right: 0;
}
.rightbox a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
}
.content {
width: 120px;
position: absolute;
background-color: #ac193d;
height: 38px;
text-align: center;
left: 0;
top: 0;
right: 0;
color: #FFF;
}
.content p {
margin-top: 8px;
}

just add position: absolute; right: 0; in .rightbox class.
.rightbox {
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;
margin-right: 0;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
vertical-align: top;
width: 0;
}

I tried to fix up the code you've already got but it needed some major rehauling so I've just re-done it all.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/t2z9Q/

}
.container .arrow {
float: right;
width: 20px;
position: relative;

}
JS
$('.arrow').hover(function() {
$('.container .content').stop().animate({left: '0'}, 400)
}, function() {
$('.container .content').stop().animate({left: '120px'}, 400)
});
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="content">Next Article</div>
<div class="arrow">></div>
</div>
This way you lose a lot of the jargon html & css that isn't really required but still get the same effect.

You are applying inline-block style on all divs. Please revert to normal display of block.
div{
display: block;
}
or just remove it as the default display is block
http://jsfiddle.net/PXLJG/8/
That should solve your core issue.
Now if you want to show the arrow to the left of the text div, remove absolute position on the arrow.
Now you will be having a whitespace between the inline-block elements, that is the arrow and the text. To remove it easily remove the whitespace between those two div in HTML
http://jsfiddle.net/PXLJG/18/
For something exactly like as in the website, you can try positioning both arrow and text using absolute positioning and anchoring them with their right property.
This way, as the width increases it will expand from right to left.
