I have a html, css question.
I'd like to make child div horizontally scrollable but parent window unscrollable.
Currently, the following is the code.
<div id="parent">
<div id="div1">
...
</div>
<div id="div2" style="overflow-x:scroll; width:2000px">
<img src="1.png"/>
<img src="2.png"/>
<img src="3.png"/>
<img src="4.png"/>
<img src="5.png"/>
<img src="6.png"/>
<img src="7.png"/>
</div>
</div>
But when scroll div2, it will make the whole window to scroll.
The following is the schematic diagram.
Anyone has any idea?
To make it overflow, the content must be larger than the div, not the div itself. and to be able to make it inline, you must use display:inline-block and white-space: nowrap. Let me know if you have concerns.
Check out the fiddle below.
Fiddle
CSS
#div2{
display:inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Set overflow:hidden; to your parent div and overflow-x: auto; to your child div.
You can simply disable scrolling for the html or body element. Not entirely sure that's what you wish to do, but either that or the #parent element.
html,body{
overflow:hidden;
}
or
#parent{
overflow:hidden;
}
Additionally right now your #div2 is wider than most screens, so you won't get a scroll bar for it likely, so you might be intending to scroll the #parent element?
Additionally it is enough to set the overflow to auto instead of scroll as scroll just forces a scrollbar to be visible even if there is no content to scroll.

I have following setup:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="element" id="first"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="element"></div>
...
</div>
so wrapper is set to overflow-x: auto and content that overflows it is horizontally scrollable. #first div has fixed position and more styling applied, but essentially it is always visible and other divs scroll behind it, like this:
issue here is that I'm using drag and drop functionality which works fine, but once I try to drop stuff on a fixed div and if it has content behind it, the drag and drop happens to that content. Basically feels like I'm interacting with stuff behind fixed div even though it is in front. I know fixed elements are out of the flow and maybe this is whats causing it? But I can't figure out how to make content behind that div stay behind it.
Well... It maybe because fixed elements are out of the flow.
You can try setting the element with id first as absolute and giving it a high z-index value. A high value of z-index will make it stay on top of other elements.
So when others scroll it will remain at that position.
Try plaing with ay pointer-events: none; in CSS
See this JSFiddle
I want to make the .newslink links all the way to the borders of the .content divs.
I have a slideshow of different content that gets messed up either if I set the a tag around the div or if I apply display:block / display:inline-block to the a element.
Right now the links are only around the image and text because of the 15px padding in .content. You can check this by hovering your mouse over the div (near the border) compared to over the image and text area. I want each link to completely fill the surrounding div.
Is it in this case possible to accomplish without setting the a tag around the div or applying display:block / display:inline-block to the a element?
Working Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8tqryvu5/
Firstly, let's get rid of the Table markup as you're not marking up a table.
<div id="tableNews">
<div class="cell2">
<div id="slideshow">
<div class="content">
<a href="#" id="rightLink1" class="newsLink" target="_blank">
<div class="picDiv">
<img id="rightPic1" class="pic2" src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5238c9c5ecad047f12b2751a/internet-famous-grumpy-cat-just-landed-an-endorsement-deal-with-friskies.jpg"/>
</div>
<div class="text">
<h2 id="title1">title 1</h2>
<p id="rightBoxSubText1">asdasd</p>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
To achieve the effect you should apply the padding to the anchor link as this wraps both the images and text (essentially forming the border). Here's the part to take note of:
.newsLink {
display: block;
padding: 15px;
}
As it's an inline element you will need to set it to display:block in order to make it wrap the elements inside it. If you correctly apply the style to the surrounding elements then setting it to display:block will not effect the layout.
Hope that helps.
I am not 100% sure that I got right the whole thing but I think you can achieve this by using
.newsLink{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;background:red}
It will take the wodth of the slideshow, which is the relative element. If you want it to take the size of the .content and not more you will have to add a wrap in display block around you tag
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8c041xy7/5/
You just need to absolute position anchor tag
.newsLink {
display: block;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Is there a way using css and html to control the maximum scrollable height of a page, regardless of the content which is present on the page?
For a concrete, hypothetical example: say the <body> is incredibly simple - a <div> which is 5000px tall. How would you set the scrollable height to be only 2000px?
Thus it would appear that the 2000th pixel is the last pixel on the page. The browser's scroll bar would appear to be at the bottom, not just "stuck" halfway down the page. Am I missing something simple to achieve this behavior? I would prefer pure css/html because it seems like it should be doable, but I would accept js.
You can do something like this
HTML
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
<!--your content here-->
</div>
</div>
CSS
.outer {
height:2000px;
overflow:auto;
}
.inner {
height:5000px;
overflow:hidden;
}
You should set the body height to a specific number and set overflow to hidden.
body{
height:2000px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Made an example here
Use max-height or height css properties and overflow:hidden on your container element. It will hide everything that is greater than the height you specify, therefore limiting the scrollbar height.
I should also mention that you can use overflow-y:hidden will achieve the same thing, but will only affect top and bottom edges of an element. See more details here.
I have two elements; input field and div - one next to another. Div is absolute positioned inside the relative element and positioned to the right of the input.
Input has fixed height, but div's height depends on the content.
What i would like to achieve is to middle vertical align div next to input. I am not sure if this is pure CSS possible, so thats why i added the javascript tag.
HTML:
<td>
<input type="text"/>
<div id="rel" style='position:relative;'>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
</div>
</td>
CSS:
#content {
position:absolute;
left:30px;
}
...
Just use
td input {
vertical-align:middle;
}
Good you already have a table, vertical centering via CSS is not easy.
Btw: Instead of two divs and absolute positioning, you might use margin-left: -30px;
PROBLEM:
The contents of my div are positioned 'absolute' and the width of the contents are larger than the div.
As required the "extra" contents are clipped using "overflow-x: hidden".
Although, if I try to horizontal scroll using the mouse-scroller, the content get visible.
How do I not let this happen ? I am fine with using a JS or/and a CSS solution
e.g code
<body width='1000px'>
<div style='background-color: blue; width: 1200px'>contents</div>
</body>
Thanks !
I had the same problem, if you place it within a wrapper then it prevents trackpad scrolling.
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I think the default behavior for the document body is to allow scrolling of content that is too big for it. This seems like it might not be too easy to work around.
Instead of specifying a width on your BODY, you could try using one more DIV and putting the width on that instead.
<div style="width:1000px;">
<div style="width:1200px;"></div>
</div>
Is there a reason you have to put width on the BODY tag?
You must use
$("element").on('mousedown', function(e) {}
Just change live to on
