Make a UL inherit Div's min-height/height - javascript

I am trying to make my UL tag which is inside a div to inherit the height of the div.
Here is my code:
HTML:
<div class="xyz">
<ul id="abc">
<li>Reviews</li>
<li>Opinions</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
.xyz {
min-height: 85%;
}
.xyz #abc{
min-height: inherit;
}
I want to inherit the height from the div or at least set it in % inside the Div
Any help would be very helpful!

Since .xyz does not have a definite height, vertical percentages in #abc won't work.
But if you just want #abc to fill .xyz completely, you can use flexbox:
.xyz {
min-height: 85%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.xyz #abc {
flex-grow: 1; /* Grow to fill available space */
}
/* Non-relevant styles: */
.xyz {
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; right: 0;
border: 10px solid blue;
}
.xyz #abc {
border: 10px solid red;
width: 50%;
margin: 0;
}
<div class="xyz">
<ul id="abc">
<li>Reviews</li>
<li>Opinions</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>

Your ul element is an 'id' and the CSS to reflect that should be a '#'
.xyz #abc{ ....

Why is my image taking up more height in the background space than the image itself?

I have inserted an image into a website and now want to write a paragraph in a new div below it. I noticed that there was extra white space and colored each background of the elements pink & red to understand which was causing a problem. The pink is attributed to div of id="parent", and the red is only attributed to the id="hero_image" contained in the parent div. If it's in the parent, why is the red extending beyond the pink? I'm still trying to grasp position in CSS and what the computer "sees".
Here is an image of what I am seeing.
Here is my html & CSS (the nav styling is missing from CSS bc I checked and removed it to make sure it wasn't the issue)
*{
margin: 0;

background-color: violet;

}

Your style properties have wrong values !
vh is for height and vw is for width !
anyways , your #hero_img has height : 85vw which is greater than #parent 's height of 70vw.
this should fix the overflow !
#hero_img {
max-width: 25vh;
float: right;
top: 0;
z-index: 100;
background-color: tomato;
}
#parent {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background-color: violet;
height: 35vh;
}
vh and vw are relative units used to style the element according to the size of the view port !
this article covers more about them and other units too !

Link (internal php / html file) from navigation bar to main section within the same page

I'm fairly new to PHP / HTML / CSS. I'm trying to copy / mimic an internal website we're using at work, the current code is quite old (still using frames for example).
Currently, I'm stuck at trying to open a link (internal php / html file) from the navigation bar to the main section of the same page. I thought I found a workaround with the include syntax in php, hiding all the pages with css, and only showing the one you clicked on. But I found out fairly quickly that this wouldn't work in my situation, because when you open index.php in a browser, every .php or .html is loaded in the background. Our internal website uses a lot of different .php files, so load times wouldn't be optimal I think.
What I'm trying to achieve: only load the .php or .html link when clicked on in the navigation bar, and open it in the main section of the same page.
Does anyone have a solution for my problem? Thank in advance!

You can use JavaScript to find out which button is clicked and used jQuery's load() function to render the php content on your page element.
Just add a dataset attribute to your li elements say, data-page and add a unique id or name to that data-page attribute. I would recommend that you use the file names of the pages you want to load so it would be easier to load it later as you will see in the example snippet below.
You can now use JavaScript to retrieve that dataset value, concatenate it with a .php extension and then use the jQuery's load() function to render the content to the page.
Check and run the following Code Snippet or open this JSFiddle for a practical example of the above approach:
const links = document.querySelectorAll("#nav li a");
links.forEach( function(e) {
e.addEventListener("click", function() {
let goToPage = e.dataset.page;
$("#page").load(goToPage + ".php");
});
})

<li><a data-page="about">About</a></li>

<li><a data-page="somePage2">Link 5</a></li>

How to position input and p element such that their centers match each other

I want the element #1 and #2 to have center matching against each other. I want element 1 and 2 center (mid point) to match. How do I achieve this using css?
<input id="inputCustomer" tyep="text">
<p id="spandiv">{{customerName}}</p>
First element is input box and second element is p element, that appears when I hover over the input element.
Use text-align:center
<div style="text-align:center">
<input id="inputCustomer" type="text">
</div>
<p id="spandiv" style="text-align:center">Customer name</p>
You can:
have the <input> display as a block and provide a left and right margin of auto
have the <p> align its text in the center, since the width (by default) is 100%.
.wrapper > input {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.wrapper > p {
text-align: center;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<input id="inputCustomer" tyep="text">
<p id="spandiv">{{customerName}}</p>
</div>
Please find below code snippet, this might be useful:
ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
li {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
li p {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 50px
background-color: #FFF;
}
li:hover p {
display: block;
}
<ul>
<li>
<input type="text" />
<p>Text to show</p>
</li>
</ul>

Hide scrollbar and swipe left right with CSS

I have a created a box where I want to horizontally scroll the content from left to right on mobile and I wanted to swipe using touch and hide the scrollbar, here is a working JSfiddle
Should I try any JSplugin to handle this or is this something doable easily? Please suggest
.spotlight_graphs {
bottom: 30px;
clear: both;
left: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 360px;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color:#cbcbcb;
overflow:auto;
padding:10px;
}
.spotlight_graphs > ul {
font-size: 0;
list-style: outside none none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align:left;
width:200%;
}
.spotlight_graphs > ul > li {
max-width: 90px;
width: 33%;
display:inline-block;
background-color:#dec8c8;
height:100px;
margin:0 5px 5px 0;
border:1px solid #333333;
}
.spotlight_graphs > ul > li > .graph_detail {
color: #404040;
float: left;
font-size: 14px;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="spotlight_graphs">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="graph_detail"> This is dummy title </div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="graph_detail"> This is dummy title </div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="graph_detail"> This is dummy title </div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="graph_detail"> This is dummy title </div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="graph_detail"> This is dummy title </div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
If you are using webkit browser such as chrome and safari, you could easiy add the following code to your CSS. Demo -> https://jsfiddle.net/xzc7khk0/5/
::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; }
I think the easiest way to get this is using only CSS and baiscly rotating the items 90deg.
you can find it explained really well here:
Here's a link! where you can find this solution explained really well.
Another solution is to place the div that has the scrollbar into another div that has a height less than the scrolling div and overflow hidden in order to cover the scrollbar like this:
.hideScroll {
height: 129px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
I edited your fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/xzc7khk0/6
You can do it with CSS as #Stan George said.
But this css is only for mobile, because you want to disappear scrollbar in mobile, so apply css on your scrollable div.
.spotlight_graphs::-webkit-scrollbar{
background-color:transparent;
}
it will disappear the scrollbar not scrolling.
Easy to do with css Webkit
html {
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
.spotlight_graphs::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 0px; //remove scrollbar width
background: transparent; //optional: it will make scrollbar invisible
}

How to prevent cutting off absolute positioned elements and still keep a box-shadow embrace the parent div?

First of all an example:
https://jsfiddle.net/85uqehz5/
The code is just an example, an easier version of my real code. I figured out that I cant't have both: Setting the wrap-div to overflow: visible the menu that shows up isn't cut off but the box shadow doesn't embrace the box; With overflow:auto; the box-shadow is working but the menu cut off. How could I solve this? A fixed height would not be an option.
Example Code:
$('#menu').click(function() {
$('#menu-list').toggleClass('hidden');
});
#wrap {
width: 80%;
height: auto;
overflow: visible;
box-shadow: 0 0 .2rem rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
}
#content {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#content2 {
float: left;
}
.hidden {
display: none;
}
#menu {
position: relative;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
background-color: #ccc;
float: left;
}
#menu-list {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
Some Content
</div>
<div id="content2">
Some Content
</div>
<div id="menu">
Open Menu
<div id="menu-list" class="hidden">
<div> bla </div>
<div> bla </div>
<div> bla </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It's very simple, in your specific case:
1- Remove overflow: auto; from #wrap
2- Add this to your CSS:
#wrap:after {
display: table;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
This makes the height of #wrap's calculation include the floated element.
If you have multiple uses declare a class like clearfix and use it whenever needed.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/85uqehz5/1/
Floats must be cleared: https://jsfiddle.net/85uqehz5/3/
<div id="wrap" class="clearfix">
The reason the menu is cut off is because you haven't clear your float: left and that is done with such piece of code to the container
.clearfix:after {
content: "\0020";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
