I have a three section of my page that are inside fullpagejs. The middle page needs to contain a very tall div that is split in two columns. The left is the div that needs to follow right text that takes the entire height of div. But because the way the fullpage.js works(translate with css not actual scrolling i can't make div that is positioned fixed to behave like it should
HTML
<div class="section section-1 show-for-large">
section1 content
</div>
<div class="section section-2">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 medium-6 column">
<div class="row" id="pokemon">
<div class="small-5 medium-5 columns">
<img src="/">
</div>
<div class="small-7 medium-7 column">
<span class="title">

</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row hide-for-large">
<div class="small-12 columns">
<p>
text
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-5 column">
<div>
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section section-3">
section3 content
</div>
<div class="section section-4 fp-auto-height">
section4 content
</div>
FULLPAGE JS
$('#fullpage').fullpage({
sectionSelector: '.section',
scrollOverflow: true,
verticalCentered: false,
normalScrollElements:'#pokemon',
css3: true,
});
I tried using plugins like http://stickyjs.com/ , and similar like it but the problem is they all work on principle of scrolling.
Use position:absolute instead of fixed. Then use position:relative for the section elements, so the absolute position will be related to the section.
Pardon my jargon, I just recently got into web development and have poor communication skills.
I'm using bootstrap 4 alpha and JQuery 3.
I have a chatroom within one fluid container with two rows: a send-message bar and a recieve message column(plus the pm column and userlist column)
Here is my code:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<!-- Chat View Column -->
<div class="col-sm-2">
<ul id="privateChats" class="list-group fixed" style=" margin-top:20px;">
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Message View Column -->
<div class="col-sm-8" style="float: left;">
<ul class="" id="messages" style="margin: 20px;"></ul>
</div>
<!-- Connected Users Column -->
<div class="col-sm-2">
<ul id="connectedUsers" class="list-group fixed" style=" margin-top:20px">
<div class="btn-group-vertical" style="width:100%">
</div>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Send message bar -->
<div class="row">
<form action="">
<div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 text-right">
<input type="text" id="m" style="width:100%; height:55px;" class="form-control" placeholder="Message" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 text-left">
<button style="width:50%"><span class="fa fa-paper-plane" style="font-size:38px; color:white;"></span></button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
When the "Message View Column" fills up, text disappears behind the second row and I can't see the most recent messages. How do I fix this?
Let me know if I should add more detail
I added the Javascript tag because I'm not opposed to using Javascript to solve the problem
Adding a margin-bottom: 98px; (height of the 2nd .row) to the css of the 1st .row, would solve your problem. Then you can use scrollBy(0, 100) to scroll the page to the bottom (used 100 as example)
I'm using https://almsaeedstudio.com/preview theme which gives some brilliant boxes layout and social widget boxes layout which I want to use in my project.
Refer to simple box screenshot
and social widget box
.
I'm trying to arrange multiple simple boxes horizontally where each of the simple box can contain multiple social widget boxes.
Refer to this screenshot for more clarity:
.
I tried playing with the exiting simple boxes and social widget boxes code and come up with this snippet.
I have created this plunker, somehow css is not getting loaded properly.

But its not working. Can anyone please help me how to accomplish this ?
P.S.: I have searched on internet and found similar threads but none is working for me.
Horizontally align div without float
I'm still a beginner in CSS and would really appreciate if I can get some help here. I'm breaking my head on this for a long time.
Update
I think it makes sense to clearly write out the actual issues and try to solve them one by one.
Horizontal boxes are not aligned on the same row if the inner social widget box is collapsed/expanded. How can I ensure the height of the horizontal box is fixed irrespective of the inner social widget box height ? Refer to screenshot for same.
There are some answers which mention the use of display: float:left; but my issue is the variable width which actually ensures all horizontal boxes on the same row.
<div class="" style="width:2050px;">
How do I ensure the width:2050px; to increase dynamically as I will be adding inner boxes on fly. P.S.: I'm using angularjs for ui. Is there any CSS trick which is independent of the width:2050px; That way there will be no dependency on the total width calculation.
How to fix the height of inner social widget box ? The inner social widget box overflows the actual horizontol container. how can I fix this ?
Sharing an image of what actually I'm trying to accomplish. .
In short I want to accomplish point 4 with this theme's existing boxes and social widget boxes. If there is any other better way of doing this, please share the same.
In case anything is not clear, please feel free to mention it in comment. I'll update the question accordingly.
Thanks
Update 2:
I think same height columns is what making this problem more complicated. What I can do is having a scroll bar inside horizontol box which can have multiple social widgets boxes. That way we can have a fixed height for each of the horizontol column.
Update 3:
While zer00ne# has provided one solution which is based on Flex. I have read on some forums that it doesn;t work on all browsers. Since my web-page is going to be mobile friendly, I;m more inclined towards achieving my desired results using general CSS techniques.
In path of achieving my result, I created following version http://plnkr.co/edit/awVmJWJo0AdrQvdbXG2y?p=preview using this SO thread. Following is screenshot of same:
Now I'm facing one issue of text getting out of inner social widget box. I need some help on this thing.
In addition to that, can people take a review of these if this solution is any better or not ?
Thanks
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FLEXBOX SOLUTION<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Here is the REAL SOLUTION to the ORIGINAL QUESTION if anyone is actually interested.
dark_shadow:
While zer00ne# has provided one solution which is based on Flex.
Problem resolved see my demos below, it speaks for itself. I have no idea why starikovs is getting upvotes at all when there is clearly no solution provided.
I had to recreate the page because the extra classless <div>s you placed inside the markup was confusing. The significant change was adding flexbox to the layout. I used two flexbox containers, one that controlled the two columns .flexRow and another inside of each column to control the widgetboxes, .flexCol. Those classless <div>s are combined into a <section class="colWrap" I added intrinsic measurements so that your layout isn't stuck at a fixed width of 2050px, you'll still need to adjust both .box to an intrinsic measurement, 1000px fixed is going to give grief in the future. The changes will be annotated when I get back. Unless of course this isn't what you wanted?
LAST to the LAST UPDATE
>>>>>>>>>>PLUNKER<<<<<<<<<<
EDIT
Just add a fixed height to .colWrap, suggest 100vh to 150vh
I checked out the height of both columns and they are in fact identical down to the decimal. See the screenshots:
Column 1
Column 2
OLD
You just need everything aligned, correct? Ok, look here please: http://embed.plnkr.co/MRI69qLoTkiL9F68g54M/preview
I added this to the <head>
<!DOCTYPE html>

UPDATE
Added the script as well. It's located before the closing </body> tag.

You probably don't need all of them, but the essential ones are:
bootstrap.min.css
font-awesome.min.css
jQuery-2.1.4.min.js
bootstrap.min.js
app.min.js
jquery.slimscroll.min.js
There's a lot of relative URLs (ex. ../dist/img/photo2.png), so I added the following to the top of the <head>:
<base href="https://almsaeedstudio.com/themes/AdminLTE/">
The majority of these external files are located at that base url. If the download package didn't properly provide adequate assets, I always go to the source of the site's demo. Frequently the developer(s) neglect the differences between the dist and the demo.
UPDATE
As I understand the problem is that the layout needs to be properly aligned with widgetboxes or in the absence of widgetboxes. I don't think using display:none on widgetboxes is the way this template was designed. Consider the following annotated excerpts from the file, app.min.js
Excerpts from the AdminLTE script, app.min.js

† This code is skipped over
ᵃ The developer implies that this app is not a complete solution but a complete solution is available to buy.
ᵇ The boxwidgets collapse and height should adjust accordingly.
ᶜ The boxwidgets can be removed and height should be adjusted accordingly.
ᵈ The function boxRefresh() is a public method I believe. It could be used after an addition or subtraction of a widget I suppose.
I'm not the best at interpreting third party plugins, so any extra observations and/or corrections are welcome.
LAST UPDATE
I got it so when any section is collapsed, they will slide up rather than down. As for the 2 main columns, they behave as they should and if the first column is actually removed, then the second column will take the first column's place.
The new way of aligning is to use flexbox. Here's a simple example to show the power:

<div class="wrapper">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
display: flex;
}
Now your divs inside .wrapper are aligned in a row.
BTW, you can use Autoprefixer to get the right browser prefixes.
Flexbox is supported by all the major browsers: http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox (with prefixes)
With flexbox you can align items as you want simply, aligning them vertically in the center, horizontally in the center, etc.
You can use display: flex, read more: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
P.S. But you need use prefixes for old browsers
You could use float to position the boxes horizontally. I forked your Plunker and changed the .box from display: inline-block; to float: left;: http://plnkr.co/edit/Woo31pPiHi4HcvXZ9NXE?p=preview
After reading your question and looking over the comments I see the theme you are using has (or you have added) twitter bootstrap. I am not sure why you wouldn't use its grid system based on the layout you are trying to achieve. Looking at the theme link you provided I see this layout which contains 4 horizontally aligned widgets which should be more than enough for what you are trying to achieve.
<section class="content">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 1, example widget code below -->
<div class="info-box">
<span class="info-box-icon bg-aqua"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i></span>
<div class="info-box-content">
<span class="info-box-text">Messages</span>
<span class="info-box-number">1,410</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Next widget underneath would go here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 2, add widgets in here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 3, add widgets in here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 4, add widgets in here -->
</div>
</div>
</section>
If I am misunderstanding the question please let me know. Hope that helps.
EDIT #2 - Added some CSS and Fiddle link
Based on your feedback here is how I would handle the multiple columns
CSS
.cust-table {
display: table;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.cust-tr {
display: table-row;
}
.cust-td {
border-collapse: collapse;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
background: pink;
border: 1px solid gray;
min-width: 100px;
}
HTML
<div class="cust-table">
<div class="cust-tr">
<div class="cust-td">
<!-- Column 1, example widget code below -->
<div class="info-box">
<span class="info-box-icon bg-aqua"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i></span>
<div class="info-box-content">
<span class="info-box-text">Messages</span>
<span class="info-box-number">1,410</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Next widget underneath would go here -->
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>Its all bang bang bloddy bang to me!</p>
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>This is another column with text just for fun</p>
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>This is another column with more excitement then the last column. Dont believe me?</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This way if you end up with 20 columns they would all show horizontally. Depending on how wide you want them to show you could use min-width so they wouldn't end up too squished. Here is a JS.Fiddle link if you want to play around with the layout.
I want my fluid boxes to take all the content. This is what I get now:
And this is what I am looking for:
I am using the Twitter bootstrap.
Here is the jsfiddle, exactly like my layout shows:
http://jsfiddle.net/jUQEc/
Current html markup:
<div class="container-narrow">
<h4 class="title">Featured Companies</h4>
<div class="row-fluid" id="container" class="js-masonry" data-masonry-options='{ "columnWidth": 200, "itemSelector": ".item" }'>
<div class="span6 item">
<h4 class="title">Company Details</h4>
<div class="box">
test
</div>
</div>
<div class="span3 item">
<h4 class="title">Company News</h4>
<div class="box">
test<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>test
</div>
</div>
<div class="span3 item">
<h4 class="title">Company News</h4>
<div class="box">
test<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>testtest<br>test<br>test
</div>
</div>
<div class="span4 item">
<h4 class="title">Company News</h4>
<div class="box">
test<br>test<br>test
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Thanks.
You should put a width on the 3rd box and then float it right. If it fits, it will sneak up and fill in the space you are looking for. Perhaps you should brush up on how floats work and take a look at how this applies to divs in bootstrap. Hope this helps!
VERY new to js but here it goes.
I want to be able to click on one of the images in the Portfolio section and have it change the text of the h3 in the Text section with a fade transition as well as select the corresponding slide in the slider.
Code:
<!-- 960 Container -->
<div class="container">
<!-- Description -->
<div class="sixteen columns">
<!-- Text -->
<h3 class="page_headline">Why Do You Need Manage+ For Your Business?</h3>
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<li>
<div id="details">Tier-1 Tech Support</div>
</li>
<li>
<div id="details">Off-site Backups</div>
</li>
<li>
<div id="details">Loaner Computer</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><!-- End Description-->
<!-- Portfolio Content -->
<div id="portfolio-wrapper">
<!-- 1/4 Column -->
<div class="four columns portfolio-item">
<div class="item-img"><a href="support.html"><img src="img/support.jpg" alt=""/>
<div class="overlay link"></div></a></div>
<div class="portfolio-item-meta">
<h4>Tier-1 Tech Support</h4>
</div>
</div>
<!-- 1/4 Column -->
<div class="four columns portfolio-item">

<div class="four columns portfolio-item">

<div class="portfolio-item-meta">

</div>
</div>
</div><!-- End Portfolio Content -->
</div><!-- End 960 Container -->
all you need is plane javascript or for lesser code, jquery.
just place your img and your div in the markup and bind the click event of the img to function in which you toggle your division display
you can have multiple images, referring to multiple containers(or same containers), which are hidden by default, but as you click on the relative image, it would appear.
see the code below
create your markup like:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="image">
<img src='../images/actions_button_ok.png' data-target="one" />
<img src='../images/actions_button_ok.png' data-target="two" />
<img src='../images/actions_button_ok.png' data-target="three" />
</div>
<div class="target" id="one" >
this is text A
</div>
<div class="target" id="two" >
this is text B
</div>
<div class="target" id="three" >
this is text C
</div>
</div>
and your jquery code as:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('img').on("click",function(){
$('.target').hide();
$('#'+$(this).data('target')).toggle(1000);
});
});
basically, your html structure can be of your choice, but that's how you should go about it.
explore more about jquery.
see this fiddle.
instead of binding click to img, you can bind it to your li aswell.
