I want to have a ListItem that vertically fills the list completely, and sometimes overflows it.
That means I need access to the height of the empty space in the list. It would be the minHeight, and sometimes I would add some extra height to it. How do I have access to that?
I tried display=flex and flexDirection=column on the List and then flexGrow: 1 on the ListItem and it did fill the empty space of the list, but never overflowed as I wanted.
Any suggestions?
I think you can handle this issue in pure CSS. You should add these styles to your list element:
height: auto;
overflow-y: auto;
then when your list fills, it scrolls automatically

Warning: I have absolutely no idea what the vocabulary is for what I am looking for.
I have the following page (jsfiddle) that contains a tree of nodes (familly tree).
The tree can grow very big and consequently have a undesirable display, to fit into the container div.
The div limit in the fiddle is simulated by:
.tree {
max-width: 500px;
}
I would like to achieve two goals:
Make sure that, even if the tree has a width bigger than the container witdh, it overflows the div borders.
I have looked into the overflow css keyword, but I do not understand on which element I should put it.
For example, when putting it in the tree class, the nodes keep staying in the predefined div size:
.tree {
max-width: 500px;
overflow: scroll;
}
Allow to drag the content of the (potentially overflowed) div in order to browse the tree (which I do not know how to do because I need to achieve the above point first... (dragable keyword ?))
Could you give me direction, based on my jsfiddle ?
Ok, I think the best solution would be to give the first ul a absolute position and set the tree to overflow: hidden;.
Then you would need to add a mouse / pointer listener to the tree that listenes to your mouse beeing dragged. The listener would change the position of the first ul based on your mouse drag, so you are moving around the tree.
My app has two columns, left side being a textarea, while the right side is the result calculated from the text area. But my result column would overflow the fixed window, while textarea would scroll by default.
So I've tried to set both the whole row and its parent to overflow: auto, which let me scroll when I've got enough input, but at the expense of having my separator not full height as well as having a delay after I've wrote into my textarea, before the dix snaps into a bigger height...
My final solution was to use JS & Jquery to check when content is overflown, to alternate between height: auto when it is and height: 100% when its not. That also kinda worked, but with wonky delays yet again...
const editor_js = document.querySelector('.editor');
const $editor = $('.editor');
$('.input').bind('input propertychange', function() {
console.log('Textarea changed');
if(editor_js.offsetHeight < editor_js.scrollHeight){
$editor.css("height", "auto");
}
else{
$editor.css("height", "100%");
}
});
Anyways I am at my wits end. I just want to have my columns consistently scrollable as one entity, while keeping the separator full height at all times. Hope you can give me some suggestions. If you want to directly do some attempts at my app, here's the link
The simplest way for you to get that effect would be to add that vertical border as a pseudo element on the parent. When I say simple, I mean it would be easy to set it and forget it. CSS would deal with it and it would be independant of the size
I think your best option will be to calculate the height of your text area in javascript and set the css style to it.
Then, Make sure you have the following css:
textarea.col-9.input {
overflow: hidden !important;
}
.main-body .editor {
overflow: scroll !important;
}
.col-lg-5.col-md-7.col-sm-8.main-body {
overflow: hidden;
}
I've tried it in Chrome's developer tools and it works well.
It is exactly what it is described in the title.
I have a parent which has overflow-x: hidden.
I have 3 rows which has some content overflowing.
In this scenario I am not able to programmatically scroll one of the rows.
JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6v1xydn/5/
But if I change the rows to have overflow-x: auto, programmatic scrolling works but it also shows up a horizontal scrollbar.
JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6v1xydn/6/
Question: I want to understand why it is happening like that. And how can I get the scroll to work without the horizontal scrollbar showing up? (And no hiding the horizontal scrollbar using css is not an option)
PS: Would prefer a no plain HTML/CSS/JS answer. No jQuery
Update 1: Parent positioning doesn't seem to affect this
It works if you move
overflow-x: hidden
onto the row-class instead.
And you really don't need the overflow-x: hidden on the container as every item you put inside it so far has its width set to 100%.
Look here: https://jsfiddle.net/cornelraiu/w6v1xydn/8/
Setting the children divs to position relative like this:
#container > div {position: relative;left:0}
and then in js:
document.getElementById("row1").style.left = '-50px';
This should work
I'm kinda stuck here and I'm looking for some ideas. I have a breadcrumb system which uses :before and :after tags for the arrows.
The maximum width for all the breadcrumbs put together is 735px as that is the size of the container element.
Now; I need to restrict the length of each breadcrumb to stop them overflowing and to ensure that they all stay on one line. To do this, I will need to set a maximum width on the breadcrumb. However the max-width will depend on the number of breadcrumbs which are currently visible.
I know that the easiest way would be to count the number of breadcrumbs present and set a fixed position by dividing the container width by the number of breadcrumbs, but this is not what I want - It would mean that breadcrumbs with a shorter title have a large gap, like below.
So I need to specify a max-width, but the max-width will depend on the width of the other breadcrumbs.
For example, if all the breadcrumbs have a fairly long title, the max-width will need to be small enough to allow all breadcrumbs to fit in the container.
But if, say, five of the breadcrumbs have very short titles (ie 4 characters) and the fifth one has a longer title, I would want the max-width to allow all the text on the last breadcrumb to be displayed, but still ensuring that the breadcrumbs still fit inside the container.
Sorry if this is too confusing. Here's a jsFiddle of my breadcrumbs so you can understand how they're structured. If you need any more information please let me know.

The second example in the jsFiddle shows how the max-width needs to be dependant on the width of the other breadcrumbs, and not just the number of the breadcrumbs displayed.
Beside the answer of #JAYBEkster, you could consider using flexbox.
Here is a great resource: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
I've updated your fidle: http://jsfiddle.net/NicoO/5CLYt/1/
/*
COPIED FROM: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
*/
#container {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I know this is not what you want, since the space between the items is growing and not the items it self. But maybe it' the right direction.
Maybe keep this question updated.
Update 2: flexbox is awesome.
It works with firefox: http://jsfiddle.net/NicoO/5CLYt/3/
All you needed to do was:
.breadcrumbButton
{
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
You should add display:table for your container; add display:table-cell for each child and remove floating;
I am working on a memory matching game. Right now, when the user clicks on two identical images, they are removed. This part of the game works fine. When the images are removed, I want the other images to stay in place. However, they are shifting towards each other and not leaving space.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kevinferri/bCP4G/
For example, click on the two flowers in the middle column. You will see that the the two outer columns will shift towards each other and fill that empty space. How can I change it so the images will stay in place after others are removed?
You probably don't want to be .remove()-ing elements if you want to the DOM to remember their original layout spacing and sizes. You want to just chuck those elements into hidden visibility so that they're hidden, but they maintain their size and position.
$(element).css('visibility', 'hidden');
That's visibility:hidden in CSS. Do take note of the difference between that and .show() / .hide() or even CSS display:none.
You'll want to give your tds some fixed sizes:
<style>
#playCards td { width: 200px; height: 200px; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
</style>
