I have a div with a simple width, height, background color, and margin:0 auto yet it won't show up and I can't figure out why. In Dreamweaver, it actually shows up just fine, but not in browsers. This is becoming problematic because I need it to center other content (the only reason I gave it a colored background and didn't put anything inside was to troubleshoot). The page with the problem is here. My code is below
HTML
<div id="7steps"></div>
CSS
#7steps {
width:1100px;
margin:0 auto;
height:1000px;
background-color:#960;
}
It has to be some sort of conflicting code that I'm not seeing.
An ID can't start with a number, and height and width doesn't really apply without a position
<div id="steps7"></div>
and
#steps7 {
width:1100px;
margin:0 auto;
height:1000px;
background-color:#960;
position: relative;
}

So I am currently designing a website and one of things Im noticing is the div I have placed for the container doesnt exactly flow in the way I want it to when observed in different resolutions. Heres what I have in the CSS:
#container{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: black;
}
#center{
background-image:url(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3768/11633218256_30a04f01c3_o.png);
height:1080px;
width:1920px;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin-left: -960px;
margin-top: -540px;
overflow: hidden
}
And here is my HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="center"></div>
</div>
I pretty much just want the center div to resize on initial load based on the level of zoom the browser is currently at and fit the edges of the div to that zoom while keeping the div's width and height proportions of 16:9. I would like to be able to apply the same scaling to everything that is nested within the div as well if this is possible. But I would like the user to be able to zoom in and out afterwards without the div resizing to fit the screen actively while he is zooming. Im mostly wanting this process without auto zooming the browser because I do not want to mess with the level of zoom the user has on other websites.
The paragraph explaining your goal is quite confusing. Can you explain what you're trying to do better?
#center{
transform:scale(1.5);
transform-origin: center center;
-webkit-transform:scale(1.5);
-webkit-transform-origin: center center;
}
This would scale your div, and all it's children, without changing it's aspect ratio.
Or maybe you could use an actual tag inside #center instead of a background-image. Then you could do this:
#center img{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

Need help, why is my scrolltop not working on this sample
I dont know why..using the code everything works fine. But updating the css the scrolltop is not working.:( what should i do to fixed this? is the problem cause by my css style?
i used this but it won't scroll at the bottom of the div..
$(document).ready(function() {
alert('scroll must happen');
$('#message_container').scrollTop($('#message_container')[0].scrollHeight);
$('.topbox').html('just sample');
});
There is no visible scrolling happening because the element you're trying to scroll isn't overflowing; it's all displayed. The scrollbar is for the <body> element and not the <div> you're trying to scroll.
You can make it work if you give #message_container a height e.g.
#message_container {height:100px;}
Alternatively, use absolute positioning tricks, for example in this demo. (The initial "undoes" CSS, I used it to keep code short. See MDN)
#container, #head, #body, #foot{
position: absolute;
top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;
}
#head {
bottom: initial;
height:50px;
}
/* position so it get's your desired size*/
#body {
top:50px;
bottom:50px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
#foot {
top: initial;
height:50px;
}
You have to set 2 things:
Overflow for the div,
Some height, even percentage one (to make it more flexible).
If you don't set any height at all the div will expand and then there is nothing to scroll, in this case the only scroll bar you get is of the document itself (body).
I added a height and overflow property to your CSS and now it works as expected.
jsFiddle
CSS added:
#message_container {
overflow-y:auto;
overflow-x:hidden;
height:300px;
}
I have a DIV that is changing size depending on the browser window. I have an image inside of it which in effect will essentially fill up the entire browser window, and I need it to resize without stretching out of proportion when the window gets too wide or too long.
Additionally I need to have the image centred so you see the 'sweet spot' of the image when it becomes too big for the browser window.
I've been searching for ages and trying many different things but I can't work it out for the life of me. Perhaps it could be solved with Javascript or jQuery?
This is the CSS I have so far of the DIV id and the IMAGE class:
#VisitUsSlides {
height:100%;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left: 0px;
}
.resizingImage {
width:100%;
min-width:100px;
min-height:100%;
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
}
It's scaling up and down but starts to 'squash' horizontally when the window gets to thin, and it isn't centering.
Give it a try
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div
{
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-image:url('sample.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;//**Edit: Add this and check**
background-size:cover; //Edit2: Add this and check
background-position:center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Hope this solves your problem.
assuming the div have an id named
imageholder
#imageholder{width:500px;height:500px;position:relative;}
#imageholder>img{width:90%;height:90%;position:absolute;z-index:10;top:5%;left:5%;}
hope that helps
also while re-sizing the div. set the image max-height and max-width to its original dimension.
img {
margin : 0 auto;
display:block;
}
give it a try.
position your div as you want.
Try this JavaScript:
http://jsfiddle.net/Teak/6yxcG/
I'm not sure it's what your looking for but it could be expanded/edited, to be better. I'm not completely certain about what it is your after.
Edit: Try this full page version: http://www.teaksoftware.com/html/
There's a CSS3 property but i'm not sure about the support it has.
.resizingImage {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
object-fit: contain; /*OR*/
object-fit: fill; /*there's also an object-position property*/
}
This prevents the image from being stretched.
Given that it's only ONE line of CSS you can try it out.
I have a really simple page, with a div. Inside that div is an image that sits at the top of the div some text that sits below the image.
My Problem: The image is supposed to have a width equal to the divs width, ie, the image is supposed to stretch to the width of the div. But what happens is that the image stretches only about 80% of the width of the div, so theres a gap on the right side of the image.
How can I make the image stretch all the way to the right so its width is the same as the divs width? I think you can see my problem in JSFiddle(complete with uploaded images): http://jsfiddle.net/ajEmm/ but I also encourage you to show the HTML in IE, the image is a link so it will show.
NOTE: This problem only occurs in IE, in firefox the image correctly stretches to the width of the div

Woah, woah woah.
PLEASE write it in a structured, easy-to-digest format. It will help you out in the long run as you learn code (whether it's css, php, js, etc...)
Your code is formatted poorly. I updated your fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ajEmm/3/ (plugged everything in the HTML box so you can just copy and paste it into your page file)
Because some users have massive screen resolutions, width: 58%; could be incredibly large. Using a percentage-based width like that is good practice, but usually reserved for site containers and core elements. When using images in fluid layouts, special precautions must be taken (to avoid warping, etc). In your specific case, the image you have IS NOT IDEAL for the code you have. I would suggest one of two things:
Set the container width at 450px, which is the width of your image; or,
Rewrite the way your page works, and use a really long header image without text. If you would like to do this, I'm available to help you. Let me know and I'll make a fiddle and write instructions for ya. :)
Hello Ive made a page which has an image of width 1300px as its widest point. I'm trying to make something which makes the page load with the centre of the page (where text etc. resides) in the middle of the browser. Is there a simple way of doing this?
Add this to the outer wrapper CSS:
width: <text width>px;
margin: 0px auto;
And make the image a centered background of the body:
background: url(image.png) top center;
in CSS, do this:
body: {
text-align: center
}
#main {
text-align: left
margin: 0 auto;
}
The text-align center is for old IE6, whereas margin works for newer browsers. #main is your main div that is to be centered.
if you want to display some block elements (with fixed width) centered you need to use this rule:
margin:0 auto;
if inside an element you want to center some text, just set:
text-align:center;
if you want to center an absolute element (fixed widh aswell, i.e. 1300px) you need to be more tricky this way:
margin-left:-650px;
left:50%;
Body{margin: 0px;}
.wrapperDiv{Margin: 0 auto;}
