I've looked through a variety of other posts, and to no avail, I have yet to find the kind of solution I'm looking for. Many solutions involved people using CSS with methods like fixing the right and left (which wouldn't make it worth floating and a waste of brain power) or to word-wrap at a certain amount to the right (which also defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do.
My problem exists like this:
I have 3 divs: wrapper, menu, and content. Wrapper is used to apply a background to 100% of the page, and create extra styling properties to be inherited by other CSS. Menu is for my menu script I coded in JQuery and it takes up 400px of space on the left hand of the screen and descends downwards at 100vh. I may change it to fixed, but it doesn't change the issue. Anyway, content is the rest of the page; let's say the other 80% of it. I have both menu and content floating left and it works just fine. However, until text wraps at the end of the screen, the div goes under (disappears in my case) the screen and no longer viewable.
My solution:
function simplyWidth(changed, menu1, wrapper){
var wrapperWidth = $(wrapper).width();
var menuWidth = $(menu1).width();
var newWidth = wrapperWidth - menuWidth;
$(changed).css("width", newWidth);
};
Does it work? Of course it works. The only problem is, it isn't dynamic at all! It resizes to the screen once, and you have to refresh the page just to get it to update again. Is there a way to take that JQuery/Javascript and make it so I can just update it every .1 of a second? Would that make the page lag? Or am I doing it wrong.
Also assume that my HTML is spot on, and it needs no corrections. The reason I won't disclose it is because there's too much there for me to post and to not confuse the living crap out of you people.
This is the basic layout of my page:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="menu1"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
As for my wrapper CSS:
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
background-color:black;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 0px;
overflow:hidden;
height: 100vh;
background-image:url(Assets/background1.jpg);
}
Menu1 CSS:
#menu1 {
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;
width: 400px;
background-color:#191919;
color:white;
z-index: 400;
float: left;
}
Content CSS:
#content {
float:left;
color:white;
height: 100vh;
}
listen to resize event and call the same function when the window is resized:
$(window).resize(simplyWidth);

I want to have divs scroll on and off the screen using jquery, but I do not want any horizontal scrollbars. The only way I know how to do that is to make a container and do overflow:hidden. Here is my container CSS
#container {
top:0px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
I had to make the width and height 100% so that no matter what I scrolled across it would not be cut off.
When I make this container then everything behind it becomes unclickable and pretty much disabled. I want the page behind the scrolling divs to still behave normally where I can click and interact with it. How can I achieve that?
Having issues with a site, I've read the overflow-y: can be the issue, but it doesn't appear to be. Some of the site appears to get cut off when viewing in a smaller mode, and it does not allow scrolling. Could this happen with bootstrap's css? I used a full screen image as the background and maybe its forcing every viewport to view the full image

I can post the CSS, but its the same as the link above. Any help is truly appreciated. At my wits end!
I was able to fix this with three changes. First, you need to change your css for #home as follows:
#home {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
z-index: 2;
background-size: cover;
}
This will turn scrolling on for the main area but not for the header menu. Maybe that is what you want, but if not - the second thing I changed was I moved the menu-wrap element into the home element. You should (roughly) end up with something like:
<article id="home" class="active">
<div id="menu-wrap"><!--html here --></div>
<div class="proppage"><!--html here --></div>
<!-- etc -->
</article>
That will get you closer to having the menu scroll with the page but to finally make it scroll you can't set the position to fixed. What you are actually looking for here is absolute. Note that fixed keeps it at that location in the browser where absolute keeps it at that location on the page. Your updated css with this change looks like:
#menu-wrap {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0 0px 0px 0px;
}
This is pretty close to what you are probably looking for. Hope that helps!
Use jquery slimscroll. I had the same problem.
<div class="slim-scroll" data-height="auto" data-disable-fade-out="true">
-----Code to scroll----
</div>
So I have a header bar for a page I made with a height of 150px. Under that area I want another DIV to fill the remaining space (width and height) all across the screen and to the bottom of the screen. I've tried setting height: 100% for the DIV, but that causes the screen to become scrollable and I only want it to fill the remainder of the page. NOTE: There is NO footer or anything under it.
Using jQuery/Javascript is acceptable, but CSS-only is prefered (if possible). If using jQuery, please explain the proper way to have it implemented into the page (I'm assuming $(function() {...}); under the <style> tag in the head.
I've tried searching for a result before, but nothing seems to work correctly.
tl;dr I basically made 3 options for you. click on the 'like this' in the below paragraph to see what they all look like without any text. Click on the A). B). and C). links in the paragraphs below that to see the difference between the three options. Check how each one scrolls differently, they are all different I promise. After you look at all three you can read how the one you want is implemented. (that is if you like any of them.) Hope you like it, no problem if you don't :)
I'll have a go at this, because it honestly depends on what you're going after there are multiple ways to look at it and it depends on your end goal. I will cover three possible scenarios: (which all look the same without text mind you, like this, but if you want to see what they look like with text click the letters. Make sure you scroll the page to see the difference between them.)
(Just as a side note I based A). and B). off how Twitter Bootstrap does it.)
A). You just want it to look like one div on top of the other (header div on top of main-content div) and display like that, but you still want the page to scroll if the 2nd div's text overflows. In this implementation when they scroll will move the header out of view, but if you don't want the header div to move out of view that leads me to
B). Same as the first header div on top of main-content div, but when they scroll the header div will still stay in place at the top instead of moving out of view.
and last of all,
C). You really do want the div to stretch to the bottom of the screen and never have the scroll bar for the whole page. This could be used in some cases, for instance, Spotify makes a nice music app with this kind of style so that you never scroll the whole page just panes in the page.
Ok so first here is the html code used to construct all three of them
<body>
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="main-content"></div>
</body>
And now to the fun part...
I will provide a Fiddle for the following examples, and with the css I will put the necessary code at the top and the unneccessary code at the bottom. (The html may have some unneccasary text so just ignore that. I just want you to see the page scrolls differently on the three.)
A).
no need to rephrase what it is so I'll just show you the code that is necessary.
First, here is A). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs.
Here is the necessary css for A). (the background-color isn't completely necessary, but it is somewhat necessary to show the point.)
body {
padding-top: 150px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
and now for...
B).
First, here is B). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs.
Here is the necessary css for B).
body {
padding-top: 150px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
As you can probably tell the only difference is the position: fixed on the .header, but look at the two examples to see the difference it makes.
and now last of all C).,
C).
First, here is C). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs, and with I'll call option 1 where it has a scroll bar just for that area's overflowing content.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs, and with I'll call option 2 where it hides the overflowing content. (This is honestly bad practice and I wouldn't do it. So if I may suggest. I would go with option 1 of C).)
Here is the necessary css for C).
body {
padding-top: 150px;
}
.header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
.main-content {
position: fixed;
top: 150px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #ddd;
}
I won't explain it, but here is an article on positioning that will.
here is the only necessary css for option 1 is adding overflow-y: auto to .main-content, but if you want to go with option 2 which I don't suggest you can go with overflow-y: hidden on .main-content
Well that's all for my post which is probably too long for most people sorry if I bored you, but I'm just trying to help. Hope you figure out the layout you want. This is only a few examples of the layouts possible with good old css. If you don't get the layout you want from this or any other post feel free to send me a message by commenting below, and I'll be happy to answer it sometime. Hope this helped. If it didn't that's fine too. :)
You can try css3 flexbox.
http://jsfiddle.net/wL9aM/1/
.container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 700px;
}
.header {
height: 200px;
background: red;
}
.main {
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
background: blue;
}
try using script..
var window_h = $(window).height();
var header_h = $("header").height(); //This is what you said you had 150px
$(".filler_div").height(window_h - header_h);
You can also put that inside a function() so that you can add it also when you resize the browser, the filler space also adjusts...
function setfillerDivHeight(){
//the code above
}
$(document).ready(function(){
setFillerDivHeight(); //the initial setting of height
});
$(window).resize(function(){
setFillerDivHeight(); //reapply setting of height when window resizes
});
<div class="full-page-height-wrapper">
<header></header>
<main></main>
</div>
html,body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
header {
height: 150px;
}
.full-page-height-wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}

I don't think you cannot acheive that in pure CSS.
So, there is two different solutions:
1) You can put the 150px div in the 100% div.
2) You can do it with jQuery:
If your top div is <div id="A"> and the second one is <div id="B">, you'll have:
var b = $("#B");
var height = $("body").height() - b.position().top;
b.css({ height: height });
Feel free to adapt the code if you have some margins.
Found a solution myself finally. Doing it this way makes the design more responsive since (if i choose to add something to the bottom), it will automatically resize the div's height.
.container {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.column {
display: table-column;
}
#fullDiv {
height: 100%;
}
I found two solution.
The one is that I have must set the div in the absolute position.
the div float over the screen.
another one is use table-row display.
If you use just CSS, you cant achieve your task by giving 100% height to div. Because what basically CSS is doing is giving 100% height to your DIV plus giving 150 px to above header. Consider giving height of DIV less than 100% or some static value such as 600px or 700px.
Alternate is having a class of DIV with min-height 100% and inside it putting your header and body.
I am using an old CSS trick to get a semi-transparent background for some content, without the content appearing semi-transparent. Here is the HMTL:
<div id="frame">
<div id="opacityFrame">
</div>
<div id="contentFrame">
<div>
<!-- Main Site Content Here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is the corresponding CSS:
#frame
{
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}
#opacityFrame
{
background: #00ff00;
opacity: .15;
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
#contentFrame
{
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
My problem is that because #frame is position: relative, it's height does not dynamically expand with its content. Both #opacityFrame and #contentFrame are set to 100% height and width and they appropriately expand to fill #frame which is great. The issue is that I need #frame's height to grow with the contents of the child DIV of #contentFrame because that DIV's height dynamically adjusts with the content placed in it.
I ended up having to create a jQuery function:
function resizeFrame()
{
$('#frame').height($('#contentFrame > div').height());
}
NOTE: The reason there is a child DIV of #contentFrame is because #contentFrame's height always reads as zero for some weird reason. I'm assuming it has to do with its position being absolute.
This code works great and accurately resizes #frame's height to the height of the child DIV of #contentFrame. However, I do a lot of ajax that changes the content within that DIV. One solution would be to call resizeFrame() with EVERY ajax event but it just seems so tedious. Is there an event or something I can tie to that would execute this function without my explicitly having to call it? I tried the following events but they didn't seem to work; maybe I did them wrong.
$('#subFrame > div').resize()
$('#subFrame > div').change()
Neither of these seemed to fire when the contents of the child DIV were modified. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way? I do not want to use transparent images for the background.
Try taking position: absolute off of the contentFrame but leaving it on the opacityFrame. That should cause it's parent to resize, and the opacityFrame to still overlay everything.
do you have to use opacity? If it's a solid color, consider RGBA or if it's not solid, consider a semi-transparent PNG. That way you can nest them.
