Page width larger than any elements on the page? - javascript

Hey everyone, working on a site at the moment.
http://www.creativefireplaces.co.uk/fireplaces/marble-fire-surrounds/sheridan-marble-fire-surround.html
If you go to that page you will see that there is a horizontal scroll bar. I have tried to find the div responsible. (i'm aware the search bar pokes out) But looking in the code I cant work out what is making the pages so large.

<div class="product-custom-right-col" style="">
.product-custom-right-col {
float: right;
width: 420px;
}
The absolute width of 420 px and float right is causing the issue.

add overflow-x: hidden; to div class middle-container :)

Check your background image (the vertical stripes). It is too wide. Look at http://www.creativefireplaces.co.uk/skin/frontend/creative/default/images/main_bg.gif it overflows the browser horizontally.

Automatically Animate/Scroll A Div Horizontally On Page Load

I have a seemingly basic question that I can't find any resources in what I am trying to acheive. I'm new to JavaScript and fairly mediocre at CSS.
What I am trying to accomplish is this. A page which can be displayed on a TV screen showing a list of sports results, overflowing to the right. I want the page to automatically scroll that div across to the right (which has a dynamic length depending on the amount of content) so it can see all the scores across all divisions and automaticaly scroll content to the right. When it reaches the end, pause, and then refresh (using Ajax) snapping back to the beginning.
I'm sure if I can be pointed in the direction of the right functions to use I can hook the various parts together.
Here's an example of something I am trying to run on page load that I'd like to scroll smoothly to the end over the course of 10 seconds, I just can't work out how to identify/set the "end" of the div.
$('#ScrollMe').animate({
scrollX: ??? //To div end;
}, 10000);
I think if I can solve this part, I can solve the rest.
Any pointers? Javascript, CSS.... open to anything!
You can use the .scrollWidth property to determine how far to scroll, subtracting the visible width will give a more accurate end point, eg:
(styles and animation time set to 2s, just to demonstrate what's happening)
$("#scrollMe").animate({
scrollLeft: ($("#scrollMe")[0].scrollWidth - $("#scrollMe").width()) + "px"
}, 2000);
#scrollMe { width: 100%; border:1px solid blue; overflow:auto; }
#inner { width: 6000px; border:5px solid red; height:20px; }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=scrollMe>
<div id=inner>
</div>
</div>
You just need to apply overflow: scroll css propertie, to the div you want to "overflow" the page width. So it will add a bar below the div, such as the default scrolling bar of every browser.
parentDivWithContentToOverflow{
Overflow: scroll;
}
This is a great example of what you need.
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/
But you need to specify the div to achieve this.
If your requirement is only to scroll to the end of the page(which is right), then you can use your example. But you need to specify the pixel location to scroll to right. For that, you might need something like the below.
function getWidth(){
return Math.max(document.body.scrollWidth,
document.documentElement.scrollWidth,
document.body.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.clientWidth);
}

Trying to integrate the mmenu.js(off canvas menu) into my site, having trouble with my sticky footer

I'm trying to add a off canvas menu into my site and the one I picked was the mmenu(http://mmenu.frebsite.nl/index.php). Everything else other then my footer works. I have a sticky footer in the site and every time the menu is clicked open the footer flys out of position.
For a fixed footer, add the class mm-fixed-bottom:
id="footer" class="mm-fixed-bottom">Goodbye<
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/1eddy87/Lx5ps/1/
I have tried the documented way which says you should use "mm-fixed-bottom" for any fixed elements, however that didn't do the trick.
Documentation: http://mmenu.frebsite.nl/tutorial.php
scroll to the bottom of the page and then open the menu via the header and you will see the footer move out of position.
any ideas??
I realize that I am using absolute, and not fixed. Its a requirement for the sticky footer(http://mystrd.at/modern-clean-css-sticky-footer/). I tried to fix my way through hoping that the mm-fixed-bottom would work, however it didn't. I need a fix for using the absolute.
You've got position:absolute on the footer when it's supposed to be fixed. You're also overwriting the CSS from mm-fixed-bottom. I thought the whole reason for a sticky footer is for it to stay at the bottom of the screen and not move.
I removed all positioning and it worked.
http://jsfiddle.net/Lx5ps/3/
Solution found:
On further inspection, looks like the library changes <div class="mm-page"> to height:100% which screws with height:auto. I toggled it off in browser inspector and it works.
Changed this:
html.mm-opened .mm-page {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Lx5ps/4/
Just been having the same problem but I came up with using css calc.
html.mm-opened .mm-page {
height: -webkit-calc(100% - 320px);
height: -moz-calc(100% - 320px);
height: calc(100% - 320px);}
320px being the height of the footer. Calc is pretty well supported. See calc browser support

make the whole page scroll beneath a certain height at the top without any scroll bar

html:
<div class="div_fixed"></div>
<div class="other_content">
content goes here
</div>
css:
.div_fixed{
position:fixed;
height:40px;
}
.other_content{
height:200px;
}
The div_fixed will remain fixed at the top position of the page.
But as the page scrolls up, the content of the div other_content will vanish just at the lower edge of the div div_fixed .
In the case of scrolling down the invisible content of other_content will begin to be visible from the lower edge of the div_fixed
How to achieve that ?
EDIT: no scroll bar should appear for any div
Use overflow: hidden to get rid of scrollbars
Is this what you're looking for? http://jsfiddle.net/BCRPa/
I've taken your HTML/CSS and added a bit on a jsFiddle - I think in order to achieve the effect you're looking for, you just need to make your content actually tall enough to be scrollable. At 200px high and one line of text, nothing is going to scroll.
So I made your other_content div taller, and then added a top: 0 to your .div_fixed selector, to keep it stuck to the top of the screen, and a margin-top: 40px to the .other_content div in order to have it start below the floating div.
If you want it to be a navbar-type thing, you can of course add a width: 100% to the .div_fixed.
All of this should transfer into a container div (with position: relative) fairly easily as well if you want, although you may have to re-position the fixed div.

how scrollable text line inside a div without showing scroll bars

plz see the below link :
Long File Name Inside A Div
when you see those long file names with firebug you will find a span that tell us ->
.FileName {
float: left;
width: 438px;
}
we have predefined width for this span!
q#1 : so why we have overflow in that div and how can i fix that ?
q#2(important) : is it possible to make that file name scrollable without showing scroll bars ?
edit
(with jquery or javascript or css)
thanks in advance
You have an overflow because this text can't break (there are no spaces):
R1DA029_APP_SW_1212_2395_GENERIC_KT_REDBROWNBLUE_CID52_49_DB3210
You could change the span's into div's and give them a height and an overflow:hidden.
Html:
<div class="FileName">R1DA029_APP_SW_1212_2395_GENERIC_KT_REDBROWNBLUE_CID52_49_DB3210 asangsm.com.rar</div>
Css:
.FileName{
float: left;
width: 438px;
height: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
I don't think it's possible to make that file name scrollable without showing scrollbars.
If you don't want a scrollbar, but do want to scroll, then the most apparent solution would be to use some javascript. If you're into jquery, here's some:
http://www.net-kit.com/jquery-custom-scrollbar-plugins/
I've tried one of them (http://www.demo.creamama.fr/plugin-scrollbar/), setting the div containing the text to overflow: hidden; and the div containing the scrollbar to display: none; to mimic your situation, and that gives me a scrollable div with no scrollbar.
However, I think from a UI point of view it's not the best idea to have a scrollable section without a scrollbar. At least something should light up (as with the Mac OS Lion scrollbars) indicating you can, or are, scrolling. You could style one of the javascript solutions out there to make this happen, for instance with a tiny scrollbar or indicator.
Short of using CSS3's marquee, I can see no simple solution. You would have to use Javascript.
As per avoiding the line break, you can use white-space: nowrap;.

How to set up the browser scrollbar to scroll part of a page?

I've seen this done in a few sites, an example is artofadambetts.com. The scroll bar on the page scrolls only an element of the page, not the entire page. I looked at the source and havent't been able to figure it out yet. How is this done?
That's pretty nifty. He uses "position:fixed" on most of the divs, and the one that scrolls is the one that doesn't have it.
In fact it is not the scrolling part that is "doing the job", it is the fixed part of the page.
In order to do this, you should use CSS and add position: fixed; property (use it with top, bottom, left and/or right properties) to the elements that you wish not to scroll.
And you should not forget to give them a greater z-index, if you don't there might be some of the scrolling element that can go over your fixed element as you scroll (and you certainly don't want that).
To find out how people do these kinds of things in CSS and/or Javascript the tool Firebug is just outstanding:
Firebug addon for Firefox
It should be noted that without further hacks position fixed does not work for IE6, which is still managing to hold on to 15-30% of the market, depending on your site.
You can use fixed positioning or absolute positioning to tie various elements to fixed positions on the page. Alternatively you can specify a fixed size element (such as a DIV) and use overflow: scroll to force the scrollbars on that.
As already mentioned, getting everything to work in Internet Explorer AND Firefox/Opera/Safari requires judicious use of hacks.
This can be done in CSS using the "position:absolute;" clause
Here is an example template:
http://www.demusdesign.com/bipolar/index.html
From http://www.demusdesign.com/
The browser is scrolling the page, its just that part of it is fixed in position.
This is done by using the "position: fixed" CSS property on the part that you wish not to scroll.
They've set the side and top elements to have fixed positions via CSS (see line 94 of their style.css file). This holds them in the viewport while the rest scrolls.
Try this for scrolling a particular part of web page......
<html>
<head>
<title>Separately Scrolled Area Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 100px; border-style: solid">
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100px; height: 100px">

For a div, you can add in the cSS
overflow: auto
For example,
<div style="overflow:auto; height: 500px">Some really long text</div>
Edit: After looking at the site you posted, you probably don't want this. What he does in his website is make the layout as fixed (position: fixed) and assigns it a higher z-index than the text, which is lower z-index.
For example:
<div class="highz"> //Put random stuff here. it'll be fixed </div>
<div class="lowz"> Put stuff here you want to scroll and position it.&lt/div>
with css file
div.highz {position: fixed; z-index: 2;}
div.lowz {position: fixed; z-index: 1;}
To put scroll bars on an element such as a div:
<div style="overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto;>the content</div>
If you only want a horizontal or vertical scroll bar, only use whichever of overflow-x and overflow-y you need.
