Take a look at the this link. Scroll down a bit and you should see a Facebook comments plugin with an embedded Google map right beneath it.
My problem is, there is a ton of white space between the bottom of the comments plugin and the top of the map. Firebug indicates the white space is at the bottom of the comments plugin (as opposed to the top of the map). However, I can't seem to find a way to eliminate it.
I've tried just using relative CSS positioning to move the map up 50 pixels, but then it sits on top of the comments if there happen to be any. Also, if the user has turned FB comments off, it screws the layout as well.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the excessive white space?
UPDATE: While the answers provided here pointed me in the right direction, it ended up being too much trouble. I simply put the Facebook comments beneath the Google map at the bottom of the page which masks the problem somewhat. Apparently this is a bug according to one of the commenters below, so we'll just have to wait for a fix.
EDIT: Been toying with these styles for a while, no luck. I can alter the height of the box initially based on Jason's suggestions, but anything I do screws up the layout (new comments appear BEHIND the map since the comment area stays the same height as its original height, instead of allowing Facebook to dynamically grow the height of its IFRAME element when a comment is added). Any other ideas?
EDIT #2: It seems that the root of the problem is that Facebook automatically assigns a height of 200px to the IFRAME containing the comments box. When comments are added, Facebook dynamically resizes thie IFRAME to the appropriate height. I'd be able to solve my problem if I could find a way to make that default 200px start at 145px. Not sure if this is possible or why Facebook would think that 200 (arbitrary?) was a good height to start at.
EDIT #3: I realize the white space is coming from the IFRAME that Facebook generates and that there's nothing I can do about that, specifically. I started a bounty on this question because:
1) I find it hard to believe that I'm the only person that has an issue with the way this displays.
2) It's possible it's due to the way I configured something?
3) There's some other workaround I'm not thinking of.
Hopefully the bounty will encourage some creative replies!
Don't set the height to auto, set the overflow...
Set height:110px and overflow:auto on the Facebook iframe - then comments will expand the height of the iframe dynamically.
Pop these changes in your $().ready function - this works fine for me.
I had this problem on Mobile browsers. Facebook added this auto detect for mobile devices. It loads a different version of the plug-in that is full of bugs. Just set the mobile flag to false to force it to use the regular version that does not have bugs. This saved me. I hope it helps you.
There are several contributing factors:
.fbFeedbackContent has min-height: 165px
the loaded iframe has height: 200px
there is an empty span tag within the fb:comment tag
Addressing any or all of these should get you started. You may need to use !important to override some of the CSS.
I was suffering from the same problem. The extra white space only shows up when there are no comments yet. So you just simply do the following:
1.) Swap back to the old markup, because step 2) is not supported by HTML5
2.) Make a new div #commentcount, in which you will load the count of comments. You can hide it with display:none;.
3.) Insert the following code to #commentcount: <fb:comments-count href=http://example.com/></fb:comments-count>, where example.com is the exact URL of where you're commenting. In most cases this will be $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] (PHP), or the appropriate HTTP header variables in other languages.
4.) Store the comment count in a variable in JavaScript. You can reach the count easily, It's inside the #commentcount div in a span element. If you're not sure about this, check chrome dev tools or firebug, it will show you the rendered structure. (as facebook may change it eventually)
5.) Write a nice javascript code to update the facebook comment container div if(commentcount==0). Add a style of: height:110px; overflow:hidden;.
6.) Load the comment count frequently so if someone comments, you can drop the hidden overflow and fixed height, and they can see the new comment. You can do this using setInterval().
It works!
An easier alternative solution: You can set the style="background-color:#f5f5f5;" for the comments box if you have for example a site with F5F5F5 background color. The comments box colour will blend into your site. It looks nice.
Turn off mobile parameter.
For exemple:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com" data-width="470" data-num-posts="10" mobile="false"></div>
i solved it by setting the height on the . im using the facebook plugin in wordpress. you can find that file under /wp-content/plugins/facebook/social-plugins/comments.php in line 75 or set it to css
#respond{
height: 112px;
}
I am using FbComments plugin for Wordpress and there you can set the customisation options. This solved the problem for me.
Where it asks Comment box style AND Whole comment box style enter the height you want. It should be 72px. So you enter height:72px; in the space provided. Don't forget the ;

I have a wordpress theme that i'm building but i've hit a snag with some code and can't seem to get my div to expand correctly. I've tried clearing the floats at different positions, i've tried overflow: hidden, but nothing seems to work.
What i'm trying to do is have the content slide in from either side based on what header you click. The content is based on a wordpress post for each link. So the client can easilly edit it to any size.
Because of this it isn't viable to use pixels in the sizing of it. And i know that absolute positioning means that pixels are very nearly the only option.
I've messed with everything i can think of in firebug and just cannot get it to expand.
You'll find the site here: http://tinyurl.com/okd5wnf
However i couldn't get this to work either. Maybe that'll give you a clue as to what might be wrong.
I know it's a long winded post, and i apologise. If i have time later, i should be able to make a jsfiddle. However time is short at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
Your problems stems from setting the <div class="box"></div>'s position property to absolute. Give the parent element(<div id="body-wrapper"></div>) overflow-x:hidden; to hide children that are not being displayed, and then use negative margins to position child elements within the viewport (the parent element). This is basically how most sliders work.
Remove position absolute from box class. please also mention what desired layout you need for content. we will suggest you classes for that.
Romove position:absolute from div.box
I guess that's all.
Suppose I have a big div including much text. I want to show my readers only the first few text-lines. So I thought about scaling down the height of the div with javascript/jquery and add a "Read more" button.
Like that:
$('#content').height(20);
Here's a complete example: http://jsfiddle.net/zvQsX/1/
I guess google will index all the content, but will google interpret this as spam?
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure, but I think Google interprets a bit of CSS and display:none and simply would consider a hidden content as non-existent or at-least as less relevant than what you display directly.
Your technique is different and I honestly don't know how Google would interpret it. If we consider the law's intent, you are actually giving your users the whole thing (they can read it if they want and it's on the same page), and it shouldn't be considered as black hat thingy.
That said, why do you want to use scaling of div instead of display:none or text-indent:-9999px ?

That's my code, you cannot see the error there but I assume many will know what I mean.
The answers are in order of course and they move slightly down each time like they aren't fully hidden.
How can I rectify this?
When you inspect the page, pay attention to margins, padding, height, and width (before and after the question is hidden). It's possible that your cms is dynamically modifying the styles (with javascript) when it notices a display change.
i have a strange css, JS problem. My chrome-extension should move the hole website some pixels down, so i can display a toolbar on top of it.
This works for most pages, but doesn't work for a few. And i can't find out what's the problem. The code for moving the page down is really simple. Just this line, which adds a margin-top to the html-element:
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].style.marginTop = '36px !important';
It's easiest explained and seen if you install the addon and browse to www(dot)interspar(dot)at (here it works) and to www(dot)weinwelt(dot)at (here it doesn't work). The addon is found here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pilobbegphefikcgjpajnneiiahhejam
Please don't consider this as spam, as this addon is only useful for german speaking people and i think there aren't many around here ;)
It doesn't work on that site because its whole content is positioned absolutely (look at <div class="parent">). You need to loop through the whole DOM looking for absolutely positioned elements that have top property and increase its value accordingly as well.
That's only a tip of the iceberg though, as some sites would be adding absolutely positioned elements to the page dynamically, so you would need to listen to dom changes (DOMSubtreeModified event) as well and do all repositioning again.
Try it on the BODY instead;
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.marginTop = '36px !important';
HTML tag can't have a margin on it.
According to following link "!important" is only supported by safari.

I'm trying to work out how to do "type-writer scrolling" in JavaScript for a textarea in a web-page, but I'm having no luck. Essentially, what I'm trying to do is make a textarea that, when a new line is created, scrolls the document automatically so as to keep the new line in the same position as the previous line. I've seen something similar in desktop applications such as Write Monkey, but can't work out how to do it in JavaScript.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Have a look at this page http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/page/scroll.html it shows basic scrolling methods
You could either scroll down by the height of your line (line-height css property) or scrollTo a specific point on the page
I have achieved something close to this, automatically expanding a textarea the way it is done on Facebook, but that was based on a conservative estimate, considering font size, box width, etc, to determine how many lines have probably wrapped. What you are describing is more exact -- down to the character.
The challenge here lies in knowing exactly how many lines are currently in the textarea and I can think of no way to do this. When you say, "a new line is created," you're talking about automatic wrapping and there is no way to read that or to trigger from it. It is part of the browser's hard-coded interpretation of many things, including your CSS.
If you went through with the whole typewriter theme, you would have a bell and the user would hit RETURN when they needed to, then you'd have your cue to scroll, but that sounds like a sure way to remind people why we no longer use typewriters.
