I'm trying to center two progress bars over an HTML canvas element.
I've tried various Bootstrap classes, and CSS changes and I just cant make it work unless I just add to the left bars margin. Any help is appreciated.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div id="scoreBoardLeft" class="col-xs-6 text-right"></div>
<div id ="scoreBoardRight" class="col-xs-6"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="pong" class="col-xs-12 text-center"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
* {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
canvas {
background: #eee;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#scoreBoardLeft {
padding-right: 1px;
}
#scoreBoardRight {
padding-left: 1px;
}
#leftScore {
width: 35px !important;
}
#rightScore {
width: 35px !important;
}
.progress {
margin-bottom: 1px !important;
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
height: 10px !important;
width: 300px !important;
}
The problem seems to be in that you set:
.progress {
width: 300px !important;
}
The !important flag is overwriting the width:50% for col-xs-6 set by BootStrap.
Simply removing this line seems to fix this problem :)
I've created a fiddle demonstrating this, which can be found here.
Hope this helps!
Edit To Limit Width:
The problem with limiting the width with your current markup is that you would need to set margins on the same class as the Bootstrap column, which would push the elements to the next line with your current HTML markup.
I'd recommend replacing:
<div class="col-xs-6 progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
With:
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="progress progress-striped active">
<div class="progress-bar" style="width: 45%"></div>
</div>
</div>
By adding in this new div and changing the structure as above, you could modify the width of .progress as you were trying to do in the first place, and it would have the desired effect :)
I've created a new fiddle, changed this, and given the bars a width of 30% to reflect the change I think you're looking for :)
The new fiddle can be found here.
To solve my issue I had to disable responsiveness within bootstrap. I then set the width of my grid container equal to that of my canvas element.
Boostrap was probably not the best choice since I did not want a responsive grid, lesson learned.

I have a floorplan like this:
I need to cover specific areas with a grid (clickable squares) just like this:
So, as you can see I don't need to cover all the picture with grid. Only a few sections.
Also, I want the squares to be clickable as I want to be able to change the colour of the square using some JS.
Many topics on this but all of them cover the whole image with a grid. I need certain areas to be covered.
Can it be achieved with HTML, CSS and JS?
That's my code so far:
.test {
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: 0;
}
h3 {
margin: 40px 0 0;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 10px;
}
a {
color: #42b983;
}
img {
position: absolute;
width: 55%;
height: 925px;
top: 105px;
left: 25px;
}
.img1 {
z-index: 1;
}
.img2 {
z-index: 3;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<button class="switch btn btn-info col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-lg-2" #click="addFurniture">{{ text }}</button>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div style="posiotion: relative;">
<div class="img" id="floorplan">
<div class="img1 imgSize">
<img id="grid" src="../assets/floorplan.png" class="col-md-7 grid rounded mx-auto d-block" alt="floorplan">
<div class="col-md-2">
<button class="test btn btn-success" style="position: absolute;">test</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="img2">
<img v-if="!isHidden" src="../assets/furniture.png" alt="furniture" class="col-md-7 rounded mx-auto d-block">
</div>
You can't change the color of a picture with JS, you might only add some styles on it which would look more like a filter.
For grid, you can put on elements on top of the picture that are shaped as you wanted like in the picture, using absolute positioning. Then you do whatever you want.
As long as you don't turn the image into code, your options are limited in my opinion.
Hard to describe, but this codepen should help make things clear.
With my setup, items are very clearly being stacked in the wrong order.
Most items are 33% width, but I have some 50% width items at the top. I am using a spacer item first, to define the correct size.
For some reason, the 50% items are being stacked on top of each other, when there is very clearly room for them to sit side-by-side. It does this even if I reduce their width to, say 45% - where there is very definitely space for them to sit side-by-side.
It appears to be an actual bug with Masonry, and I have logged an issue with them, but have received no response. Can anyone see why this isn't working? Or provide a fix? Or know of a workaround? Thanks!
For reference, here is the code:
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid-item grid-item--sizer"></div>
<div class="grid-item grid-item--width2">1</div>
<div class="grid-item grid-item--width2">2</div>
<div class="grid-item grid-item--width2">3</div>
<div class="grid-item">4</div>
<div class="grid-item">5</div>
<div class="grid-item">6</div>
<div class="grid-item">7</div>
<div class="grid-item">8</div>
<div class="grid-item">9</div>
<div class="grid-item">10</div>
<div class="grid-item">11</div>
<div class="grid-item">12</div>
</div>
CSS:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.grid {
background: #EEE;
max-width: 480px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.grid-item {
width: 160px;
height: 120px;
float: left;
}
.grid-item--sizer {
height: 0;
}
.grid-item--width2 {
width: 240px;
}
JS:
$('.grid').masonry({
itemSelector: '.grid-item'
});
I think the Masonry layout is based on a columnWidth parameter, and all the grid elements are supposed to have a width that is a multiple of columnWidth. In your case, that would mean having 80px base columns.
Remove your sizer element (it's not going to be needed), and change your masonry call to:
$('.grid').masonry({
itemSelector: '.grid-item',
columnWidth: 80
});

As Armedin said, you do not have any content inside your div. Width and height 100% won't do anything.
I suggest you to put the image not as background, as it won't change the dimensions of the div. Use img tag and display: inline; for the card div.

Edit: If you do not want to use img you can put the img to invisible and then use the background image as the div would still have the dimensions of the img tag inside. Not a good solution, but it would work.
Learn flex or grid; both very useful for things like this.
Flex example:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.card {
border: 1px black solid;
border-radius: 15px;
flex-grow: 1;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="card">1</div>
<div class="card">2</div>
<div class="card">3</div>
<div class="card">4</div>
<div class="card">5</div>
</div>
Could someone please explain me how I can make this div responsive using media queries? It's practically a 200px high div with sponsor logos on it. I want it to be responsive. Currently the logo's are displayed horizontally but for example, they should be stacking one on top of the other on the mobile version.
<div id="sponsors">
<a id="about" class="smooth"></a>
<div class="sponsors">
<div class="row row-centered">
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 40px; ">
<img src="img/bridgestone.png" class="hvr-pulse" style="width: 400px; margin-top: 20px;";>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 40px;">
<img src="img/sparco1.png" class="hvr-pulse" style="width: 400px; margin-top: 20px;">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-centered" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<img src="img/redbull.png" class="hvr-pulse" style=" width: 300px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#sponsors {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-color: black;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
Change your sponsors height to min-height like this:
#sponsors {
width: 100%;
min-height: 200px;
}
Link to jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/AndrewL32/e0d8my79/97/ [Dummy images use]
P.s. as you might have noticed in the fiddle, the inline margins are removed because you can achieve what you want by adding some padding to the box wrapping the images.
You'll need to add a meta tag to identify the width and media queries to perform an action when the width is different. It would also be very helpful to add percentage onto your css elements rather than pixels.
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
CSS:
#media screen and (min-width:761px){
div.sponsers{
background-color:black;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
}
A great framework to use since you're just starting out with responsive design would be using Bootstrap, it's easily customised to fit the needs of your project.
There is one good website as well https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries
I'm trying to build this web app thing (it'll eventually a stage/props/que management system for my community theatre group) and I've encountered quite a difficult problem. Apologies if this question has been answered before, I certainly couldn't find anything relating to this specific problem.
Here's the last two I've tried. In theory they have the best chance of working but... they aren't working.
questions/2758651/how-to-change-height-div-on-window-resize
questions/16837525/resize-div-height-with-jquery
So what I'm doing is creating a page that resizes to fit the current screen real-estate the problem I'm having is the central scrolling div and the 'sidebar's' scrolling div only scroll when they have a fixed height. Basically if I use a percentage height in my CSS it becomes the size of it's contents regardless of how overflow: scroll; is setup. I'm thinking it's got something to do with the float:left; definition on all col-*-* elements. The thing I can't fathom is that when I set the div a fixed height (say height:300px;) everything works. Hence why I'm trying JS/JQ solutions but apparently even $(window).height() is getting the document height in Chrome and not the 'viewport' height.
Here's the page as it stands with a fixed height. http://azarel-howard.me/stage-management/props-manager/ I've tried a handful of JS solutions but... they don't seem to run. Or they run into the same issues.

Ok... I just found this which apparently should work I'm trying it now.
HTML5 Canvas 100% Width Height of Viewport?
Ok at long last I've discovered the secret to using height percentages! I'm going to answer my own question (even though I think it's somewhat bad form but anyway).
With percentages of width everything works as expected. If a relative width is defined it is based off of the parent elements width, which unless explicitly assigned, is the size forced on it by the other content inside of it (say a picture that's 200px wide).
Now it doesn't work this way with height. I decided to go back to basics with this one and concentrated on background-color div's to isolate the factor. After a bit I decided a simple google search was in order, and very quickly discovered this forum question from '08 http://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=7543 and there you go.
In order to use percentage height the height of the parent element MUST be EXPLICITLY defined from the opening HTML tag all the way down to the element where it counts. With the exception of parent elements that have explicit px heights defined.
So for those of us wanting to make 'fullscreen' apps (ie those that are contained within the dimensions of the browser viewport) we need to include the following CSS code.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
or in my case the div row elements directly under the body also need this applied so
html, body, body > div.row {
height: 100%;
}
and that will make all the difference.
Just remember that from this level down you will still need to include in-line style statements for each and every element that needs to be percentage scaled.
Assuming your HTML is something along the lines of:
<div class="sidebar">
<!-- sidebar content -->
</div>
<div class="main-content">
<!-- main content -->
</div>
You can achieve an independently scrolling sidebar with the following style declarations:
.main-content {
position: relative;
width: 75%;
}
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 25%;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
