css-position

I'm trying to expand this div across with width of the browser. I've read from here that you can use {position:absolute; left: 0; right:0;} to achieve that as in the jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/bJbgJ/3/ But the problem is that my current #container has a {position:relative;} property, and hence if I apply {position:absolute} to the child div, it would only refer to #container . Is there a way to still extend my child div beyond the #container ? I can think of five ways to potentially accomplish your goal: Use negative margins on the inner element to move it outside of the parent Use

I have three divs. I need header and left_side divs to be fixed and content div to scroll. I've been searching for solution and found something with overflow and position . But I can not use it corectly. How can I do this? I will be thankfull for every kind of answer. HTML ------ <div id="header"> </div> <div id="left_side"> </div> <div id="content"> </div CSS ----- body { width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0; margin: 0px auto; font-family: Calibri, Georgia, Ubuntu-C; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20PX } #header{ width: 100%; height: 139px; background-image: url('images/Header_grey.gif'); }

Is there any way to clear absolutely positioned elements with CSS? I'm creating a page where I need each part of the site (section element) to be absolutely positioned, and I want to apply a footer with content below those elements. Tried to relatively position the header and footer to see if a total height would be taken into account but the footer still gets "trapped" underneath the section elements. Any ideas? <header style="position: relative;"></header> <div id="content" style="position: relative;"> <section id="a" style="position: absolute;"></section> <section id="b" style="position:

I am trying to create a button with "caps" on either end, and a repeating background, in order to keep the button a flexible size. In order to do this, I have used the :before and :after pseudo-elements in CSS, along with position:absolute to get it outside of the main button's background-covered space (using negative values). It works in FF and Chrome, but it looks like in IE8 and 9, the images are there, but are "outside" the button, and therefore are hidden. Does anyone know how to pop these pseudo-elements "out" of the button, so that they will render? I want to keep the HTML to just the

I'm searching for a trick that repeat my background image vertically, but every time the image is repeated I want to flip it vertically. I tried all the things in my mind with repeat-y but I don't found a solution, even searching for it in google. Example: Straight background-image Flipped background-image when it repeat-y And then flipped again to straight There is a method to obtain that position? I'll accept the solution in JScript (and library of it) only if there isn't a solution with pure css. Thank you all! This cannot be done using standard CSS3 since there are no CSS3 properties to

I am trying to absolutely position an element inside a table cell. The TD has position:relative and the element has position:absolute . This works great in all browsers except in Firefox where it is positioned relative to an ancestor relative container. You can see this reproduced in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ac5CR/1/ Does anyone know if I miss some CSS setting that can fix that in Firefox? the element is not a block element. add to the style display:block, you will get the needed behavior. A possible work around would be to wrap the position:absolute element with another position

I have a holder div on the page where I want to load small images in on random position as a collage with 10px padding on each. How can I make sure that images never overlap each other or holder div? Is there a plugin or function that I could use? My code so far: <script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#my_canvas img").each( function(intIndex) { var l = Math.floor(Math.random() * $("#my_canvas").width()); var t = Math.floor(Math.random() * $("#my_canvas").height()); $(this).css("left", l); $(this).css(

I have an website and some problems with the scrollbar. What I want I can best explain with this image. But I can't get the scrollbar like this. I have tried some, here is the jsfiddle In this fiddle I also have: div[role="main"] { overflow-y: scroll; margin: 60px 0; } But this margin is not OK, how do I know what margin I need without knowing the header and footer height. This can be slowed by using padding and box-sizing = border-box on body ( with body height 100% it will count padding into height, so the box with scroll will be exactly between header and footer) html { overflow: hidden;
