I am using the Malihu custom content scroller with automatic scrolling. So far, I basically am experimenting with it. I noticed when I take the height of the scrolling div and use a percentage instead of a fixed amount in px, it expands the div the entire height of the scroll area (off the screen).
I'm literally just taking the code from this GitHub location then opening the file "auto_scrolling_example.html".
Then in the <style> section of the header, I'm simply changing .content: height:500px to .content: height:50%.
Does anyone know why this doesn't work and/or have a good workaround for it?
When you specify the height or width as a percentage, that's a percentage with respect to the element's parent.
If the parent doesn't have any height or width inner children will not work in percentage.

I'm building a responsive CSS grid with items whose sizes match a desired aspect ratio. I've tried the padding hack among a few other techniques, but nothing has worked nearly as well for me as using JS to determine the pixel value of 1fr for the desired number of columns and the gap size, and then applying that to the row sizing using repeat(auto-fill, minmax(${width}px, 0)).
Unfortunately, this approach comes with a rather nasty side effect: the parent div (display: grid) doesn't know the height of its own content, so it never sizes correctly. As a result, it's never able to show more than one row of the grid. The rest of the grid items display as a line just below that first row.
To fix this, I've tried setting the height of the parent to 100%, but that covers all of the other content on the page. I've tried using containers to fix the sizing, but haven't had any luck there, either. I've also tried overflow: auto, to no effect. If I could calculate and manually set the height of the parent div in my script, that might work, but I've not been able to find a way to do so (and also seems like a messy approach).
Is there any (good) way to do this? Here's a demo of the issue: https://codepen.io/jmindel/pen/GRoMjEw
when you set the overflow: auto it will make a scroll bar in your element to show all of the content in the specified area. then in this case it won't help you. when you set the height of an element to 100% it's height will be the same as it's parent element. I had this problem before. if you want to set the height of an element you should set the height attribute of all the parents of the parents of your element. you can use % as the unit of height and width if you want your code be responsive and don't want to calculate the exact height of elements and if not you can use other units. try to set height with % unit for all of your parents. it helped me and I am sure it will help you too.
Here's what I wound up doing:
I tried wrapping .grid in another div and styling that wrapper such that it has overflow: scroll, which fixes the height not displaying (100% is fine in this environment--it doesn't cover anything, since it's limited to the height of its block-level parent).
I wrote a script that temporarily sets the grid's height to a very large number, finds the lowest element in the grid, and uses its position to determine the grid's height, which gives it a forced pixel height until the next resize.
A few shortcomings of this approach:
The grid must be contained to a scrollable subcontainer, which works well for my use, but might not for others.
The grid's height should size properly, but didn't without a forced pixel height. min-content and max-content did not work.
I am developing CRM project using HTML and CSS. I need to fit my project for all screens without vertical scroll bar same like g mail. If we observe g mail we have scroll bar only for mail section not for browser. I need too implement same like that. Can anyone please help me how to implement. the page should be fit for all screens means if it is in small screen or big screen or medium screen. Is there any tutorials or any script for calculating height for main content based on browser height.
I attached image. In that header and main content section is there. So I need to set body height based on browser height and as well as I need to calculate each section height each time based on browser as well as inside divisions.
we should not give any fixed height , why because we need to fit the screen for all resolutions like 1366*768 and 1400*968 and 1680*1050 and 1920*1080. So when we are increasing the browser height the DOM height also should be increase as well as decrease.
Please help me to find this type of development with HTML, CSS , JavaScript and Jquery.
First you check how the default height of your element is. With JQuery this can be done like this: var height = $('.classOfYourElement').height(); var currentBrowserHeight = $(window).height(); Then you need to attach a listener to resize Event $(window).resize(function() { // Inside here you are now calculating the difference of the height of the window to the default height of window which you set earlier. this difference you should then apply to the div height :) hope that helps. }); –
You need to have a wrapper around the 5th section and give it a fixed height.
Then you have to specify the overflow-y value to scroll i guess.
I can't set the scrollbar's height on this site. Its default height is the window screen's height. How do I change the height?
【I repeat the details，the link http://taxi.bodait.com/scrollbar2.html has the problem,how i do to change the height,everyone look look,thanks】
The Tiny Scrollbar plugin may be what you're searching for.
It allows you to customize the scroll bars of anything.
I want to make a div that expands to reveal its content when clicked. What I did to date is:
Created a div, set to overflow:hidden
Created a JS function that toggles the height of the div between "minimized" and "maximized" (20px height and XYZpx height).
So far everything works, except I don't know how to get the height of the content inside my div so I can make the div resize to fit the content exactly. So in essence I have hidden content that overflows from the 20px "minimized" div, and I can expand the div to reveal the overflowing content but I don't know by how much to expand it.
Do you have an idea how I could do this?
Thanks in advance!
Here's my stab at the problem. I wasn't sure exactly what you were trying to do.

Can't you just remove the overflow hidden and height css. And the div will resize the correct height. And if you need to find the exact height. Use javascript to remove the overflow:hidden and height. Then measure the offsetHeight and set that to the height. Though if you are doing this it might be better to remove the element from the DOM then place back in once you are done.
my page has a div on the top of 100px height and an iframe beneath it. I want the iframe to fill teh rest of the page viewport i.e that the iframe's height should adjust as the browser window adjusts so we don't see two scroll bars - I just want that the scrollbar should be visible in the iframe and not in the browsers own viewport.
If I understand you correctly, you should wrap the iframe in a div for which you make a class in CSS that has overflow:scroll;, height:100%; and margin-top:100px;
The height makes you fill the whole page, the margin-top clears room for your top div and the overflow ensures you get scrollbars around your iframe. You might need to play a little with the height.
As far as I know it is not possible to actually change the iframe's height, since you import it from another page.
Hope I could help a bit.
