How to get a button to fill the full width of the footer in Mobile View?

I'm trying to get a button that's found in the right rail column on my test page (in desktop view) to take up the entire footer of the page in mobile view.
This is the css and js code that I am using:
#media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
#register_text_container {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
}
}
$(function() { //doc ready
if (!($.browser == "msie" && $.browser.version < 7)) {
var target = "#register_text_container", top = $(target).offset().top - parseFloat($(target).css("margin-top").replace(/auto/, 0));
$(window).scroll(function(event) {
if (top <= $(this).scrollTop()) {
$(target).addClass("fixed");
} else {
$(target).removeClass("fixed");
}
});
}
});
The js code is not mine, it is one I found searching stackoverflow and its been working great, I just can't seem to figure out how to get it fill the page. I have tried using width: 100% but that didn't work.
The container that I'm calling in my CSS code is one I do not have direct access to, its built into the CMS and pops up as a button.
when I inspect the Register button to look at the html code to see what I should be calling in my css document this is what I found:
<div class="entry-page-button-container" id="register_link_container">
<div class="manageable-content" data-container="edit_register_text_container">
<a class="entry-text-link secondary-step step-button" id="register_text_container" href="">Register</a>
</div>
</div>
I've tried it on each class and id and so far still unable to get the register button to take up the full width of the page.
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
Test Page

You have a width: 250px !important on this link .entry-text-link secondary-step step-button
Change it to width:100%; (and remove the !important, it is not needed ).
Then add left:0; and right:0; in this fixed element .entry-page-button-container
And it should works properly.

just set the width of the button element to 100%. This will make it take up the full width of the button's parent container.
Set it using the style attribute like so:
<div>
<button style="width: 100%">Press this full width button!</button>
</div>
this will make the button go to the full width of the parent div element

You have to remove width : 250px !important on <a> element and add this on fixed element.
width: 100%;
left: 0;
bottom: -10px;

Image loads by default instead of remaining hidden with JQuery: Image on Scroll Down Function

I'm a jquery newbie trying to make my logo remain hidden and only appear when I scroll down.
The problem with the following jquery code is that it makes my logo appear when I load the site
The code only works as intended when I scroll once, however I want to make the jquery load the page with the image hidden. How can I fix the following code to accomplish this?
<script>
(function($) {
var $logo = $('.logo');
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
$logo.css({display: $(window).scrollTop() > 300 ? "block":"none"});
});
})(jQuery)</script>

You should load the css with that element hidden or withuot displaying it.
You can either do it directly from css (I recommend that) as:
.logo{
display: none;
// or
visibility: hidden;
}
Or, do it with jQuery as:
Above the var $logo = $('.logo'); add $('.logo').css('display','none');.
Then to make it visible again, $('.logo').css('display','block');.
Hope that helps!

insert div at top of page without overlaying using javascript

I wonder if anyone can help me please ?
Basically I have a snippet of Javascript that I want to be able to give people. So the following is true :
I can't control wherabouts in the page they decide to put the snippet (for various reasons) - It could be in the middle, the end, wherever.
All the snippet does is put a small DIV at the top of their page. At the moment I am doing the following (this is the snippet):
<div id="mydiv" style="display:none; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 999; width: 100%; height: 40px; background-color:red; text-align:center; color:white"><br>Message Inside Div</div>
<script>if (Condition) { document.getElementById("mydiv").style.display = "block"; }</script>
Now, that works a treat and when "Condition" is true, it shows the div. However, using this method it overlays the div with it fixed to the top of the page.
However, I also want to do it so that the div is inserted at the top of the page but scrolls with the page as normal and DOESN'T overlay the content at the top (IE: It pushes the content down when it appears).
Any ideas on how I would do that please, remember : I don't have any access to their page (I don't even know what else is on the page) and the snippet I give them could go anywhere on the page.

I guess you can't avoid meddling with the existing code and stylings - but in case you're worried about existing top-margins on body, just check for this value first. ie. get the body top margin value, add your elements height, reapply. Example in jquery syntax (out of simplicity, can do the same in vanilla javascript)
$('body').css('margin-top',$('body').css('margin-top') + yourdiv-height);

How to automatically scroll when div expands at bottom of page?

Lately I have come into a dead end. I'm trying to expand the footer (#footernotes) and that works, it's basically a div behind the body (done with z-index) and when you click on a button it moves down. The scroll bar goes with it too, meaning that the page is now longer.
But what I'm trying to do is to make the viewport move with the expanded div. What happens now is that when I press the button (.secret) the div (#footernotes) comes in but it is still out of the viewport UNLESS you manually scroll to view the longer page.
So to some it up, how do you make the viewport automatically scroll down after you expanded the page? In other words, how do you make the viewport stay at the bottom of the page.
Here is my code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.secret').click(function(){
$("#footernotes").animate({top: "100px"}, 1000);
return false;
});
});
</script>
<div id="footer">
</div>
<div id="footernotes">
</div>
</div> <!-- end #footer -->
And the CSS for #footernotes
#footernotes {
background-color: red;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
top: -80px;
height: 150px;
z-index: -400;
}
EDIT: While typing up the question I figure out the answer, you have to use the scrollTop. I have added the line code in the example below:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.secret').click(function(){
$("#footernotes").animate({top: "100px"}, 1000);
$('body,html').animate({scrollTop: "210px"},1000);
return false;
});
});
</script>
You can still answer this if you think there is a better way, I just thought I'll leave this question posted in case other people have the same question.

document.getElementById('divID').scrollIntoView();
try and see if that would do the job.

It can be done using Jquery method .focus(). just need to add
$(divname / .class / #id).focus();
and it would be done.

Interactive HTML webpage

EDIT: Thanks for a lot of great examples on how to solve these. I cant decide between who to accept yet, but I will go though all examples and see which I like the most. Great feedback guys! =D
I normally do these kind of things in flash, but this time it has to be compatible with mac, iPads and all those units too.
So, what do I need help with?
I've got a picture, with some "hotspots" on. I want to be able to click any of those hotspots to show some information.
This should be fairly basic and easy to achieve, but since I've never done this in html before I have to ask you guys =)
So, what would be the best way to do this? It have to be compatible with any browser and device, and it doesnt need to be very advanced. If it's possible to add effects to the box (sliding out, fading in, or anything like that) then thats a nice bonus, but not something I need.
Any help would be great!
BREAKDOWN:
I have a background image with some "hotspots" (numbers 1 and 2 in my example). The users should be able to either hover the mouse over any of these or click it to get more information, as seen in picture #2
This is that happens when you hover/click any of these hotspots.
Text and image is displayed inside a nice little info box.
If the user clicks "more information" it will open up even further to display more information if available. Like in this img:

I don't think the Javascript approach is really necessary here. I created a little CSS-only mock-up for you on JSBin.
Basically the point is that you enclose the image in a relatively positioned div, then absolute position the hotspots inside the same div. Inside the hotspots divs you will have the more info elements, showing only on :hover of their parents.
This makes it simple, and far more accessible.
Update: cropping the image equally from both sides
If you want to keep the image centered and still not use any javascript, you could set the required image as a background-image of the container, and setting its background-position parameters to center center.
You would have to make sure that the width of this div is set to the width of your image, and the max-width to 100%, so that when the window gets resized below the image width it stays at the center.
Now, a problem that I encountered here is how to make the hotspots stay center relatively to the image. I solved it this way:
I created a wrapper div for the hotspots with these characteristics:
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
width: 0px;
This basically makes sure that the wrapper div finds the center of our image. Then, you would position the hotspots relatively to the top-center position of the image, instead of the top-left as a starting point.
Then you have what you are looking for.
Working demo

Here's another approach, and in my opinion far superior to using a map or excessive JS. Place <div> elements on top of the element with the background-image and have HTML and CSS do the heavy lifting for you.
See it on JSFiddle
HTML
The HTML should seem pretty each enough to understand, we create <div>s with the class hotspot and rely on certain things being present. Namely .text (to show digit), .hover-popup (to show on hover) and .click-popup (which is inside .hover-popup and is shown when clicked).
<div id="hotspot1" class="hotspot">
<div class="text">1</div>
<div class="hover-popup">
I was hovered!
<div class="click-popup">
I was clicked on!
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="hotspot2" class="hotspot">
<div class="text">2</div>
<div class="hover-popup">
I was hovered!
<div class="click-popup">
I was clicked on!
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
This is where most of the magic happens, see the comments for further explanation.
/* These two position each hotspot */
#hotspot1 {
left:15%; /* we could use px or position right or bottom also */
top:20%;
}
#hotspot2 {
left:35%;
top:25%;
}
/* General styles on the hotspot */
.hotspot {
border-radius:50%;
width:40px;
height:40px;
line-height:40px;
text-align:center;
background-color:#CCC;
position:absolute;
}
.hotspot .text {
width:40px;
height:40px;
}
/* Show the pointer on hover to signify a click event */
.hotspot .text:hover {
cursor:pointer;
}
/* hide them by default and bring them to the front */
.hover-popup,
.click-popup {
display:none;
z-index:1;
}
/* show when clicked */
.hotspot.clicked .click-popup {
display:block;
}
/* show and position when clicked */
.hotspot:hover .hover-popup {
display:block;
position:absolute;
left:100%;
top:0;
width:300px;
background-color:#BBB;
border:1px solid #000;
}
JavaScript (with jQuery)
Unfortunately you're going to have to use some JavaScript for the clicking part as CSS doesn't have a 'clicked' state (outside of hacks with checkboxes). I'm using jQuery because it's dead easy to do what I want.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.hotspot').click(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('clicked');
});
});
Creating the arrow
Over at css-tricks you can find a tutorial for attaching an arrow to a element using the :before and/or :after pseudo-elements. You can even 'simulate' a border around them by placing the :after element on top of the :before. But yea, lots of resources on how to do this.

You should be able to use the onclick or OnMouseOver event in the map area (define the href as "").
An example using OnMouseOver is here: http://www.omegagrafix.com/mouseover/mousimap.html

Give a class for that image in html (Ex: imgclass). And in javascript(using jquery), build that hover box in html format and bind it to 'mouseover' event of that image.
For example:
function bindhtmltoimage() {
myimg = $('body').find('.imgclass');
divSlot.each(function (index) {
$(this).bind('mouseover', function () {
try {
//position the hover box on image. you can customize the y and x axis to place it left or right.
var x = $(this).offset().left;
var y = $(this).offset().top;
var position = $(window).height() - ($("#divHover").height() + y);
var widthposition = $(window).width() - ($("#divHover").width() + x);
if (position < 0 || widthposition < 0) {
if (position < 0) {
$("#divHover").css({
position: 'absolute',
left: x + 20,
top: y - $("#divHover").height() - 20
});
}
if (widthposition < 0) {
$("#divHover").css({
position: 'absolute',
left: x - $("#divHover").width(),
top: y + 20
});
}
}
//build your html string for that hover box and apply to it.
$('#divHover').html("your Html content for that box goes here");
$('#divHover').show();
//if you want the box dynamically generated. create the html content and append to the dom.
}
catch (e) {
alert(e)
}
});
});
}
it will work fine in desktop and mobile. if you face any problem in touch devices, bind the function to click event instead of 'mouseover'.
Also, for map approach, i strongly recommend SVG instead of images.
