I am trying to put together a page that will have a horizontally scrolling pane on it - here is an example of the layout I am looking to get:
The content is dynamically added and has varying dimensions. .
Here's some HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="inner">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
Base CSS:
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.container .inner {
position: relative
}
.container .inner > div {
float: left;
}
Currently the only way I can get it working is by setting an explicit width for .inner. Otherwise, closest I've come is this answer, but it's still pretty far off my desired effect. Is it possible to achieve what I'm looking for with HTML/CSS alone or will I have to resort to javascript?
Is this what you expected? http://jsfiddle.net/GE5Hf/4/
Just use white-space: nowrap together with the inline-block and vertical-align: top. You don't need your .inner div to achieve the desired effect - just use one container with overflow-x: auto:
<div class="container">
<div id="i1"></div>
<div id="i2"></div>
<div id="i3"></div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-x: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.container > div {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Note: it is better to use overflow-x: auto than scroll just in case the scrollbar is not needed.
EDIT: We were speculating whether you actually need that .inner div. If you need it, you can just add it back with no special style required: http://jsfiddle.net/GE5Hf/5/
EDIT 2: To have the .inner div the width as its children, simply give it display:inline-block: http://jsfiddle.net/GE5Hf/8/
EDIT 3: Tried what you suggested in your last deleted comment, i.e. remove the fixed width of the child. This was really tricky, I had to wrap each child element to special div with display: table-cell and the inner div gets dislay: table-row: http://jsfiddle.net/GE5Hf/12/
This can be done using CSS only.
Here's a jsFiddle.
The solution is to set position: relative; on .container, which creates a new stacking context inside the .container, setting position: absolute; and white-space: nowrap; on .inner ensures that .inner's content div's will not wrap to the next line and that .inner will grow with its content, adding display: inline-block; and vertical-align: top; on the .inner > div's ensures that they are treated as inline elements and stick to the top of their containing element.
I believe this is what you are after, I have checked on the latest versions of IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari and it works fine on all of them, I have no reason to believe that it won't work on older versions.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="inner">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
position: relative;
width: 220px;
height: 400px;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
.container .inner {
position: absolute;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #FFCCFF;
}
.container .inner > div {
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
margin: 10px;
}
Is position: relative mandatory ?
.container .inner {
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
}
demo
#styke You can do that with display:inline-block(and some font-size on .inner > div) and font-size:0 to div.inner.Provided fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/zepva/4/ , ignore the colors, i used them only for demonstrationfont-size:0 will remove the gaps between the element using display:inline-block so when you will get the total width of the div.inner, that will be the sum of children divs
Take a look at this, no script was necessary:
.container {
width: 300px;
height: 100%;
background-color: silver;
}
.container .inner {
white-space:nowrap;
padding: 10px;
overflow-x: scroll;
background-color: gray;
}
.container .inner > div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
background-color: red;
border: 1px solid black;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/er144/4FLWK/
display:inline-block, with vertical-align:top , that way your text wont fall at the bottom of the container.
.container .inner > div {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
}

I am trying to implement a dynamic page with a tree like structure that exceeds the width very easily. I want to scroll the tree through the browser's horizontal scrollbar itself such that a separate scroll does not appear for the div. The CSS properties are:
body{
overflow-x:auto;
background-color: #ffffff;}
#campaign {
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
white-space: nowrap;}
Here is the screenshot for my current output.
Output
The bottom horizontal scroll disappears when you scroll vertically up.
Thanks.
You can set overflow to visible in the container div and that will cause the contents to go out of 100% width bounds and add the scrollbar on the body.
Here’s a simplified example: https://jsbin.com/bejimit/edit?html,css,output
And its CSS:
body {
overflow-x: auto;
}
#campaign {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
overflow: visible;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.content-item {
width: 300px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
display: inline-block;
}
The problem is I have 2 divs: one container a link and another a box shaped container. The link has a position:fixed; and it flies over the container div, so I tried to give the link a z-index with a negative value, turns out the
hover state does not work when applying z-index with a negative value for the anchor Unless I scroll the same amount of the height of the container div. So I scroll like 3 times and the hover state works again.
HTML
<div id="div-1">
<div class="container"></div>
</div>
<!-- other divs like 5 or 6 of 'em -->
<div id="div-2">
This is a link
</div>
CSS
#div-2 a{
width:13%;
height:auto;
padding:0.5em 2.3em;
display:block;
position:fixed;
font-weight:500;
font-size:1.09em;
text-align: center;
background-color: none;
text-decoration:none;
outline:none;
z-index:0;
}
#div-1{
width:100%;
height:290px;
overflow-y:auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: block;
}
an important thing is:
The container is hidden by Jquery, unless I click a certain button.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".container").hide();
$("#button-f").click(function(e){
$(".container").toggle();
var target = $(e.target);
if (!target.is("##button-f")) {
$(".container").toggle();
}
});
});
I have resorted to every possible (other ideas) I could think of. I tried to do the opposite meaning giving the container a z-index positive vales and leave the anchor, but that leaves the same problem
update
I will try to change the css property "z-index"but only when the the container button is toggled on
so the link will have z-index:-9; but only when the container is toggled to be viewed and when it is toggled back off the z-index will be removed or not applied.
I can't really figure how this will be written with jquery I tried this
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".container").hide();
$("#button-f").click(function(e){
$(".container").toggle();
$("#div-2 a").css("z-index", -9);
var target = $(e.target);
if (!target.is("##button-f")) {
$(".container").toggle();
}
});
});
this only result when I toggled the container on the z-index will be applied, but when i toggle it of it remains, how to remove the z-index or make it equal to z-inedx:99; when the container is toggled off?
Only any other answer for the problem is appreciated.
It's not clear what you want exactly, but the pics helped, although it appears that you want the link above the container, it looks as if you don't?
the whole purpose is to make the anchor in a lower index, so when the container is toggled on/ viewed, the link won't be setting on top of the container.
But you want the link to always react when hovered upon. So I assume that you can't figure out why it's not hovering when the container is open and you can still see the link, so logically you'd expect to at least be able to hover over the visible portion of the link.
It's not jQuery and it's not the .container. It's the .container's container A.K.A. #div-1. #div-1 width is always 100% and even if you didn't have that style, it would be 100% still because that's what blocks have if there isn't an explicit width assigned to it.
Solution: Give #div-1 a smaller width.
You have a fixed link yet no coords. You can't expect a fixed element to stand it's ground and behave like a fixed element if it doesn't know where to stand. Also if you have any positioned elements and you want interaction between other elements, make those elements positioned as well, div-1 is now position:relative and the z-index properties of the link and div-1 function correctly now.
Solution: Give #div-2 a top and left or right and bottom properties. Give #div-1 a position property so that the z-index functions properly.

Have you tried assigning a z-index to #div-2?
You'll need to assign it a position to be able to give it a z-index. Try this:
#div-2 a{
width:13%;
height:auto;
padding:0.5em 2.3em;
display:block;
position:fixed;
font-weight:500;
font-size:1.09em;
text-align: center;
background-color: none;
text-decoration:none;
outline:none;
z-index:2;
}
#div-1{
width:100%;
height:290px;
overflow-y:auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: block;
position: relative;
z-index:1;
}
I don't know what actually in your code but the js you provide look at the if section you have (##button-f) so we find an error here and do we actually need this line ??like we also don't need the line 'container'.hide() in JS. Now you have to scroll for the 'a' certain height because yous set height for #div-1 which is not hidden. So that's amount of height you have to scroll.
So What I change on your code
1. cut the height of div-1 and place it to .container class. you dont provide the a:hover class so I add that to and remove some unnecessary css you have. If you have any other Question ask me in comment LIVE ON FIDDLE
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button-f").click(function() {
$(".container").toggle();
});
});
button {
width: 13%;
height: auto;
}
#div-1{
width:100%;
overflow-y:auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: block;
}
.container {
height:290px;
display:none;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#div-2 a {
width: 13%;
height: auto;
padding: 0.5em 2.3em;
display: block;
positon:fixed;
float:right;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 1.09em;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-radius: 10px;
}
#div-2 a:hover {
background: black;
color: white;
}
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<body>
<button id="button-f">
button
</button>
<div id="div-1">
<div class="container">tagasdgasdgasdgas</div>
</div>
<!-- other divs like 5 or 6 of 'em -->
<div id="div-2">
<a href='#'>This is a link</a>

Whenever I set the div width to 100%, and I add new elements to it, it expands over the screen border.
When I set the div to the pixel value, it works fine, but it won't look proper on two different screen resolutions.
So the thing I want is to have a div which would fit the edge of the screen and expand properly.
JSFiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/272p06ng/4/
Spam on Add Tab a few times to see the problem. Then look for .l_tabs in CSS and read the comment. I believe that the problem is in the parent classes of l_tabs.
Div with % value behaves like this:
Div with pixel value shows the behavior I want:
Tabs Construction:
<div class="l_tabs">
<div>
<ul id="myTab1" class="nav nav-tabs bordered">
<li class="tab-add"></li>
<li class="contentTab active "></li>
<li.....></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.l_tabs {
background: #474544 none repeat scroll 0 0;
display: block;
height: 57px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%; /* 1st picture */
width: 1370px; /* second picture */
}
.l_tabs > div {
background-color: #474544;
height: 57px;
padding-top: 4px;
width: 100%;
}
.l_tabs > div > ul {
overflow-x: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 100%;
}
And there are some parent wrappers with also width 100%.
EDIT:Adding position:absolute to l.tabs
fixed the problem.
.l_tabs {
height: 57px;
display: block;
width: 100%;
background: #474544 none repeat scroll 0 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
I want to have the effect like dropbox:https://www.dropbox.com/ where my website is centered in the exact middle of the page.
Achieving this effect is way more complicated than it should be. Here's a bare-bones working example: http://jsfiddle.net/JakobJingleheimer/UEsYM/
html, body { height: 100%; } // needed for vertical centre
html { width: 100%; } // needed for horizontal centre
body {
display: table; // needed for vertical centre
margin: 0 auto; // needed for horizontal centre
width: 50%; // needed for horizontal centre
}
.main-container {
background-color: #eee;
display: table-cell; // needed for vertical centre
height: 100%; // needed for vertical centre
// overflow: auto; // <- probably a good idea
vertical-align: middle; // needed for vertical centre
width: 100%; // needed for horizontal centre
}
.container {
background-color: #ccc;
padding: 20px;
}
If you want to achieve this:
Here are different methods, with the pros/cons of each one, for centering a page vertically. Choose which one you prefer:
http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/vertical-centering-with-css/
EDIT. As suggested, I will proceed to explain one of the methods. It only works if you already know the height/width of the element to center (the link includes more methods). Assuming all your content is within <body>, and that your content is 900px x 600px, you can do in your css:
html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body {
width: 900px;
height: 600px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -300px; /* Half of the height of your body */
}
However, this falls short for dynamically generated content, since you don't know the height of it. I've used it succesfully on log-in box pop-up and settings pop-up.
Another method I've used in the past for the whole page is the Method 1 from the link. It makes a set of divs to behave as a table, which can vertical-align to the middle.
If you want to align it vertically center, please check this web page: http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html
If you know the width and height of your page
then wrap your contents in following div css
.center
{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin-left: -(yourPageWidth/2);
margin-top: -(YourPageHeight/2);
}
On your topmost div give margin:0 auto 0 auto; Also define some width to that div.
First create a main container of the desired width and then put all your code inside the main container. For Eg.
<body>
<div id="container">
......... your code
</div>
</body>
And in the css
#container{
width: 700px ;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;
}
You can change the width as per your needs
<body>
<div class="container">
......... your code
</div>
</body>
#container{
width: 700px ;
margin:0 auto ;
padding:0px;
}
Try this:
html
<span id="forceValign"></span><!--
--><div id="centerMiddleWrap">
<div id="centered">Hello this is some text. Hello this is some text. Hello this is some text.</div>
</div>
CSS
html {
height: 100%;
background: #eee;
}
body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
/*important*/
text-align: center;
}
#centerMiddleWrap {
/*important*/
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#forceValign {
/*important*/
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#centered {
background: #000;
color: #fff;
font-size: 34px;
padding: 15px;
max-width: 50%;
/*important*/
display: inline-block;
}
Here is an demo
Wrap a div and define its width, use margin:0 auto for centering the div.
You can check a site's CSS by using Firebug or browser extensions.
I have a page that has 2 columns. The first column is a dynamic width. It contains a bunch of tabular data in tables. The 2nd column is a fixed width full of navigation stuff.
The 2 columns are divs with float left. I need to accomplish 2 things.
I need to center the 2 divs on the page. For example, if the first div is 600px wide as dictated by the data inside of it and the second div is a fixed 200px, the centering point is 400px.
I don't want the 2nd div to wrap down if the browser window is resized.
I'm thinking that I may have to nest the 2 divs inside of another div, set the parent div width using javascript, then center it.
I created this fiddle to help illustrate. http://jsfiddle.net/darthg8r/uhKdt/
Surround them with a div and set its style to:
width: ( whatever you need )
margin: 0 auto; // this centers the div
You can set the width dynamically with JavaScript if needed. As long as it's smaller than 100% of the surrounding container, it will stay centered.
You could achieve this with the following code:
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="variable">test</div>
<div id="fixed">test</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper { overflow: hidden; }
#container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%; }
#container > div {
float: left;
position: relative;
right: 50%;
height: 300px; }
#variable {
background: red;
width: 300px; }
#fixed {
background: blue;
width: 200px; }
Preview: https://jsfiddle.net/Wexcode/mreLt/
You could also achieve this effect by wrapping the two elements in a container, setting them both to display: inline-block, and finally setting their container to have text-align: center.
The answer is a little more complicated than this, so let me know if you want to choose this route instead.
To make it so the elements don't fall to the next line, use inline-block.
<div id="container">
<div id="variable">
<p>test</p>
</div><div id="fixed">
<p>test</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
body { margin: 0; }
#container {
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap; }
#container > div {
height: 300px;
display: inline-block; }
#variable {
background: red;
width: 100px; }
#fixed {
background: blue;
width: 200px; }
