So I've got a page that shows an image with some absolutely positioned text on top of it.
I want to write a print style sheet for it so that:
the image is resized to fit the width of the page
the text is repositioned and resized to maintain relative position and size with the image behind it
So I know I can do (1) with just max-width: 100%, but I'm not sure how to accomplish (2). I'm okay with using some javascript if necessary, but I wanted to know if there's a way to do this in pure CSS. If I do need to use javascript, what can I hook to check for the pixel width of the image in the printed page? Just use the calculated width as normal?
And yes, this question might be more appropriate for DocType, but I've yet to get any help over there.
My problem was that I had set overflow: auto in the main div, which was causing the contents to overflow the printed page.
To fix it, all I needed to do was set overflow: none.
The overflow: auto was what was making it print like

I think you could happily leave it to the printer driver if you trim off the whitespace around the images, and then replace the margins on-screen with css, and the remove it again in a print-media stylesheet. Buiding-in the page margins is going to cause problems.

I am trying to design a webpage that needs to be printed/saved only at certain height and width when printing (or) saving it as pdf using "Microsoft Print to PDF".
I tried
#media print{
#page{
margin-top; 2px;
margin-botton" 2px;
size: 5in 7in;
}
and a lot of similar variations but no matter what I do the exported pdf always is in 8.5*11 size.
How do I print a webpage by setting the page size and margins to my specification. This should work in IE11
Maybe it's because you typed your message really quickly, but the code you are using is not valid css...
Regardless, this is from MDN:
You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be ignored.
This makes sense if you think about it, as you can't be sure what paper size a user will be using.
So what I'd suggest is applying the height and width to an element in your html, maybe add a black border to it that can be used to cut out your document from the resulting print out.
UPDATE: I originally thought this was something between MatchHeight and FlowType but it now appears to be an issue with using flexbox css. I commented out the flex css and FlowType works, but I need it to work with flexbox. Any ideas?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I have a page where I have 5 blocks with text and images in them. They are organized in a row and I am using matchheight.js to keep them all the same height and FlowType.js so the text will resize within the boxes and keep the proper layout.
Ideally the header text should all be the same size across the boxes as well as the body text.
However when the page first loads some of the boxes have different size text than the others - even though they all have the same base font size and the boxes are the same size.
When I adjust the size of the window everything recalculates and the font sizes become uniform. What is missing when the page loads that causes the text to not size correctly and/or is there a way to trigger the recalculation without resizing the window.
Here is the code I use to call the js.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.front-page-guide').flowtype({
maxFont: 40,
});
$('.front-page-guide').matchHeight();
});
Here is a codepen: http://codepen.io/dll416/pen/xgeeoz
So you can see the html and css and see it in action.
The viewport has to be 1200px or below to see the issue.
Thx.
I'm creating a slideshow with jQuery Cycle, and I need to be able to resize the images in the slideshow responsively with css. So far, cycle has been so controlling of the width and height of the images that I haven't been able to do it. I have been able to achieve the images resizing according to window width when I refresh the page, but the images won't dynamically resize when resizing the window. I'm trying to work out a solution in Javascript, but I'd really like to be able to get away with pure css.
jQuery Cycle is setting widths inline on the <img> tags. That's the first problem. I would try removing that, it looks like the options for Cycle has this value slideResize, try setting that to false or 0.
The next step would be setting a max-width on the container, and width: 100% on the imgs.
Just a suggestion - but you'll probably want to use something like JavaScript (or an AJAX service or something) to handle this because if you were to handle resizing the images within the browser that is going to put an incredible amount of strain on the browser to handle all of the resizing and scaling.
You may want to target specific resolutions and serve the images based on the "closest" viewport size accordingly.
you can set the width or height of the image related to a container
.container{width:200px}.container img {width:100%}
Hope this helps!
Set the img elements width to 100% and height to auto to take aspect ratio into account. If you don't want the image to be 100% of the browser, add a container element.
Your best bet to make a image responsive, this is without it being inside a container btw.
img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Now, it will stretch to the width of the page, but if its contained it will stretch to the width of the container, the thing to try is, making the container grow and shrink as well.
I have a site that is a fixed width, within the content area I am displaying a log viewer.
The log viewer is hard to read as it is confined by the fixed width of the site and the log lines are quite long.
What I want to do is above the log viewer have a button that says "Expand", when clicked the log viewer's width would grow to be just slightly less than the size of the viewport.
The rest of the site would still remaine fixed width but the log viewer would be as wide as the screen.
I've drawn an image of what I want to achieve here:
http://imgup.co.nz/3940
I have tried setting "position: absolute; left: 20px" (As well as setting the width) but this causes the footer of my site to move up to be under the log viewer (As the log viewer is no longer increasing the height of the content area).
I'm not sure what to do, it should all be css related I believe.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/h4C2p/
EDIT: Sorry, that won't work for different widths. Here is one that works:http://jsfiddle.net/h4C2p/1/
if you don't mind setting a height for the content area, set it for the parent of the element of wherever you show the log.
or, don't wrap everything in one tag. ie. have separate header, content, footer, that normally have the same width and are centered, but when you click expand, the content.. expands
I tried googling, but didn't come up with much. I'm building a horizontal carousel which displays images in a LI, floated. The issue I want to solve is, everytime I add thumbnails to the carousel (I'm lazy loading), I need to recalculate the width of the carousel (so that all the floated thumbnails line up nicely side by side).
For one, I rather not have to do these kinds of calculations in JS, and for two, I found that it's hard to find a cross browser way to ensure that the width will be properly calculated (I end up having to add or remove pixels from the total width depending on the browser).
So my question is, is there any way without JS, to be able to add content to a div, and have the width adjust as needed, the same way a div's height would?
And if not, have you found a more efficient way to handle this scenario than recalculating the width every time?
I'm not new to web dev, and for as long as I've been in this field, to my knowledge this has never been possible. But with the advent of new technologies cropping up, I thought maybe there was an obscure way of achieving this now.
Thanks in advance!
[EDIT] (for clarification, but simplified): If my carousel is 500px wide with overflow hidden. There's a slideable section containing thumbnails, each is 100px wide, floated, they fit 5 across in the carousel. When a user clicks Next, it lazy loads the next set of 5 thumbnails, and appends it to the slider area after the first set of 5. But since this div was 500px wide to accommodate 5 thumbnails, adding another 5, I need to recalculate the width to get the new thumbnails to show up side by side. Ideally I'd like to find a way to have the div autoresize its width to fit horizontal content, the same way it naturally does for vertical content.
I've found that using a containing carousel div with white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden has worked. I then have display: inline-block for each item in the div.
Using this class for each individual item:
.eachItem {
display: inline-block;
}
Will work (I've done something similar to that).
The problem is that in IE7 it won't work! and you'll have to use JavaScript anyway :(
EDIT: I meant inline-block... and as you may know, IE7 doesn't "like" it.
