I'm trying to achieve a fixed width centred layout with headings that 'stretch' to the edge of the users browser. Like this...
Any ideas how I can achieve this?
This works splendidly. It could use some refinements, but the idea is quite solid.
Live Demo (edit)
CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
overflow-x: hidden
}
body {
background: #eee
}
#container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #bbb;
}
#menu {
overflow: auto
}
#menu li {
float: left;
width: 40px;
margin: 5px;
height: 24px;
background: #fff
}
h1, h1 span, h2, h2 span {
padding: 3px 0;
height: 25px;
}
h1, h2 {
position: relative;
margin: 9px 0
}
h1 span, h2.left span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: -100%;
top: 0
}
h2.right span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 102%;
left: 100%;
top: 0
}
h1 {
background: red;
width: 80%
}
h1 span {
background: blue /* blue for demonstration purposes */
}
h2.left {
background: red;
width: 30%;
float: left
}
h2.left span {
background: blue /* blue for demonstration purposes */
}
h2.right {
background: red;
width: 30%;
float: right
}
h2.right span {
background: blue /* blue for demonstration purposes */
}
#content {
clear: both
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<h1><span></span>Heading</h1>
<h2 class="left"><span></span>Sub-heading</h2>
<h2 class="right">Sub-heading<span></span></h2>
<div id="content">
Hi!
</div>
</div>
Maybe you could use an illusion to accomplish this? You can try having a blue bar with width = 100% sit behind all of your page content, such that it is only exposed to the right of the blue "sub-heading" section, but always reaches the right edge. You just have to make sure you eclipse the rest of it (anything to the left of the blue "sub-heading" element).
if you want be fixed in the window you can use position:fixed otherwise position:absolute. Then with left:0 and right:0 you position them in the left or right side. Using top you can set the offset from top.
Demo: http://jsbin.com/awoke3
Perhaps this would work?
<h1 id="mainHeader">Heading</h1>
#mainHeader {
float:left;
clear:both;
width:800px;
background-color:#ff0000;
color:#fff;
}
Here is my attempt using JavaScript, maintaining a fixed width center: Demo
Otherwise, I don't think what you want is possible using pure CSS, but I could be mistaken.

so in a previous post I asked how to remove a gap so that the body takes up the entire height of the browser window. This was solved using:
margin: 0;
However, I need (or the only way I know to) style my text using margins. As soon as I apply something like
margin-top: 50px;
the body doesn't fit the 100% height of the browser. I know all of the contents of the div have to use margin 0 in order for it work, but how am I supposed to style things using a margin.
Are there any other ways I can make the body 100% of the browser height?
https://jsfiddle.net/fveb8wsu/
body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Did the trick for me, the body has some default paddings. So since the content of the mid was 100vh + padding this would be greater than 100vh
Is that what you need ? DEMO
#content-mid {
background-color: #000000;
opacity: 0.9;
height: 100vh;
width: 750px;
margin-left: 200px;
}
#basics {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 400px;
width: 725px;
}
/* Content Text */
#sv_title {
font-family: BebasNeue;
font-size: 60px;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 50px;
}
#sv_sub {
font-family: 'Quicksand', sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
margin-top: -20px;
}
<div id="content-mid">
<div id="basics">
<div id="sv_title">Community Name</div>
<div id="sv_sub">Your sub title here!</div>
</div>
</div>
i agree with everyone, instead of margin use padding, take a look:
#content-mid {
background-color: #000000;
opacity: 0.9;
height:100vh;
width: 100%;
padding-left: 200px;
}
#basics {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 400px;
width:100%;
padding-top: 50px;}

What you have here is collapsing margins between parent and child element because parent has no margin-top and child has margin-top: 50px Demo
So now parent element has height: 100vh and margin-top: 50px and that is why body doesn't fit the 100% height of the browser.
There are couple options how you could prevent collapsing margins
Use display: inline-block Demo
Use display: flex Demo
Use float: left Demo
Or if you want to keep margin on parent but you don't want height to be more then window height you could use calc(100vh - marginofchildren) like this Demo
I want to make it so that Online Users div stays always at size of 200px while the chat window to the left of it resize to the max size it can taking all available space.
So when window is resized for example - the chat window will shrink but Online Users window stays at 200px, kind of like liquid layout.
left div (chat window) is: entry_window
right div (online users) is: online_window
#entry_window{
border: 2px solid #D4D4D4;
float: left;
width: 75%;
height: 100%;
margin: 1%;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
#online_window{
border: 2px solid #D4D4D4;
margin: 1%;
margin-left: 0%;
display: inline-block; float: left;
background-color: white;
width: 21.5%;
height: 100%;
}
oh and by the way: for vertical size I made this function to make it in height as big as possible without disturbing bottom part.
function autoscale(){
var v = window.innerHeight - 170;
document.getElementById("entry_window").style.height= v+"px";
document.getElementById("online_window").style.height= v+"px";
}
This can be done entirely without javascript. You can use absolute positioning along with defining top/left/bottom/right and width.
example:
<div id="lefty">this is left content</div>
<div id="righty">this is right content</div>
and
#lefty {
position: absolute;
background-color: blue;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 200px;
}
#righty {
position: absolute;
background-color: red;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 200px;
right: 0;
}
See this jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/Lyp96yqq/
With display:table and table-cell you can do it this way:
*{margin:0;padding:0}
.parent {
width:100%;
display:table;
}
.parent > div {
height:200px;
line-height:200px;
background:orange;
display:table-cell;
}
.parent .fixed {
width:200px;
}
.parent .flexible {
background:red;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="fixed">Fixed Width</div>
<div class="flexible">Chat Room</div>
</div>
Here The Example on Jsfiddle too.
This could be easily done with the css calc function. However, it depends on what browsers you want to support. check out this link so see what it is compatible with.
Essentially, just do this:
#entry_window{
border: 2px solid #D4D4D4;
float: left;
width: calc(100% - 208px);
height: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
background-color:red;
}
#online_window{
border: 2px solid #D4D4D4;
margin-left: 0%;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
background-color: white;
width: 200px;
height: 100%;
}
note: you need to -208 to take the border into account. Also, check out the jsfiddle
I am trying to centre a div horizontally inside another div. The div that I am trying to centre is a scroll-down button that uses jQuery and has a custom icon font made by me and default width/height. I want to centre this div inside my main div and keep the original size as I want to keep using it as a button. For example:
I want to make something like the white arrow that is pointing down in the centre but without messing with my width.
This is my code:
HTML
<div id="intro-tab"> <!-- First/Intro Tab -->
<div id="introtab-godownbtn">Q</div>
</div>
CSS
#intro-tab {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
background-color: red;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px #000;
}
#introtab-godownbtn {
font-family: iconFont;
font-size: 50px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 25px;
width: 60px;
height: 30px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: 30px;
background-color: #FFF;
}
#introtab-godownbtn:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
jQuery
$('#introtab-godownbtn').click(function(){
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: (screen.height - 90)
}, 600);
return false;
});
I have tried many ways to centre the button introtab-godownbtn but it doesn't work or it just messes up my buttons size and clicking location. Any solution to my problem?
From what I understand, you're trying to horizontally center an HTML element. Generally, one would use the margin: 0 auto; approach where a fixed width is set on the element it's being applied to. Here's an example of such: http://jsfiddle.net/5XTq2/
Can you provide a mockup/screenshot of the layout you're trying to achieve, if this answer doesn't help? I can happily update the answer to accommodate your need.
EDIT:
As per your Spotify example, if you inspect the page and select the down arrow, it will have the follow styles.
.scroller-arrow {
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
background-image: url(../i/_global/arrow-big.png);
cursor: pointer;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
To get the inner absolutely positioned div to be horizontally and vertically centered:
http://jsfiddle.net/7P4n5/
http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2013/08/09/absolute-horizontal-vertical-centering-css/
HTML:
<div id="intro-tab">
<div id="introtab-godownbtn">Q</div>
</div>
CSS:
body { margin: 0; }
#intro-tab {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
background-color: red;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px #000;
}
#introtab-godownbtn {
background-color: #FFF;
font-family: iconFont;
font-size: 20px;
width: 60px;
/* this does the centering */
height: 30px;
position: absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
#introtab-godownbtn:hover { cursor: pointer; }

My aim is to display 10 cells (200 px in height) on the page and showing only animation within this limit, so to act as a mask.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Any alternative approach even using JavaScript if with only CSS is not possible?
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#pageset {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;

border: 1px solid rgba(0,255,255,1);
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
#wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 500px;
background-color: green;
/*overflow: scroll;*/ /* PROBLEM HERE----------------*/
/*height: 200px;*/ /* PROBLEM HERE----------------*/
}
#navigator {
position: absolute;
left: 600px;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
/* margin:0px;
padding:0px;*/
}
li:nth-child(even) {
background: #d80000;
}
li {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
}
.focus {
background-color: yellow !important;
}
.btn {
float: left;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 2px gray solid;
margin: 10px;
background-color: #f0f0f0 ;
}
.icon {

Basically, what you need to do is use the #wrapper div as a container, which is only 200px high.
The .content div you generate should then scroll inside that wrapper.
To accomplish this you need to position the wrapper relatively, and then position the content div absolutely inside the wrapper. The wrapper should never move around.
The content can be as high as you want, the wrapper should always stay 200px high.
Check the following fiddle, which demonstrates exactly this: http://jsfiddle.net/Uz5a9/
Try this css it will work fine DEMO HERE
.content {
height:200px;
overflow:hidden
}
Just apply these additional rules to #wrapper:
#wrapper { max-height: 200px; overflow: hidden; }
and it seems to work just as described.
I am trying to make a 3 column layout webpage with percentage wrapper width, fixed (pixels) left and right side width and a varying middle column width but i cannot get it to work for the middle column. Here is the source:
html
<aside class="left">
<span>Categories</span>
</aside>
<section>
<span>Main</span>
</section>
<aside class="right">
<span>Test</span>
</aside>
css
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container > aside.left {
float: left;
width: 197px;
border-right: black dashed 3px;
}
.container > section {
float: left;
width: auto;
}
.container > aside.right {
float: left;
background-color: #005f98;
width: 200px;
}
Have you looked at the flexible box model? http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/04/the-css-3-flexible-box-model/
If you don't have to support IE7, this will work:
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
min-width: 600px;
}
.container > aside, .container > section {
display: table-cell;
width: auto;
}
.container > aside.left {
width: 197px;
border-right: black dashed 3px;
}
.container > aside.right {
background-color: #005f98;
width: 200px;
}
You could replace your floats with absolutely positioned sidebars:
<aside class="left">
<span>C</span>
</aside>
<section>
<span>M</span>
</section>
<aside class="right">
<span>T</span>
</aside>
And
.left {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 50px;
display: block;
background: #ffe;
height: 100%;
}
.right {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
width: 50px;
display: block;
background: #fef;
height: 100%;
}
section {
display: block;
margin: 0 50px; /* Margin sized to match the sidebars */
background: #fee;
}
Live: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/puPbu/
The colors and sizes are just to clarify where everything is. If you're going to put a wrapper <div> around the whole thing then you'll want to have position: relative on it to get the absolutely positioned sidebars in the right place.
in CSS3 you can use
#multicolumn{
column-count: 3
}
check it on http://jsfiddle.net/ilumin/w7F7c/
reference: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/multicolumn.html
Try setting the widths according to percentages, so for example:
.container > aside.left {
float: left;
width: 31%;
border-right: black dashed 3px;
}
.container > section {
float: left;
width: 31%;
}
.container > aside.right {
float: left;
background-color: #005f98;
width: 31%;
}
Thats how i've overcome this problem before.
If you specify width and float for the left and right column, the middle column will automatically fill up the gap:
http://jsfiddle.net/xHnDX/4/
As you can see, the content div actually overlaps the side divs, although the content will stay between them. If you like, you can add an extra container to compensate for the width of the content div as shown here:
