I'm working on a hobby project of mine -- it's something of a glorified RSS feed reader/grabber. I've been able to get most things working, but for some reason I cannot get the text in a certain span to be drawn above an animated div.
When a feed is grabbed, certain operations are performed before displaying the results. During this time, I keep track of the progress and display them in an animated "progress bar" div. All of the sub-operations each have their own progress bars, and they all work correctly (text on top of bar), but the final progress bar (overall progress) does not layer the text correctly.
I created a simple mock-up in JSFiddle to give an example of my problem.
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
function draw() {
if (($('#progress-totalbar-fill').css('width')) == "0px") {
$('#progress-total-box').unbind();
$('#progress-totalbar-fill').animate({width: '100%'}, 2000, function() {
var description = document.createElement('span');
$(description).attr('id', '#progress-total-text');
$(description).html('100%');
$('#progress-totalbar-empty').append(description);
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
});
}
else {
$('#progress-total-box').unbind();
$('#progress-totalbar-fill').animate({width: 0}, 2000, function() {
document.getElementById('progress-totalbar-empty').innerHTML = '';
$('#progress-total-box').bind('click', draw);
});
}
}
The style/position/etc is purely for sake of demonstration. In this example, when the grey loading bar div is clicked, it animates its width from 0% to 100% (or vice-versa). When the animation is complete, a new child span is created and appended to the 'empty bar' background div, wherein the total percentage is displayed (100%, in this case).
This span element is intentionally removed when the bar is reset.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what's going wrong, and how I can fix it?
I have encountered this error is present in both Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks in advance!
There are multiple problems here.
First off, you need to remove the # from this line
$(description).attr('id', 'progress-total-text');
The new span, was never getting the css it was supposed.
Second, you need to either change your markup or your css.
In this case, I updated the CSS, but the id name don't make sense anymore
body {
width: 100%;
height: 125px;
margin: 0;
}
#progress-category-box {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 0;
background-color: red;
}
#progress-total-box {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
top: 32.5%;
float: right;
text-align: center;
background-color: #515A5C;
}
#progress-totalbar-empty {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid #97b0b1;
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 3;
}
#progress-totalbar-fill {
position: relative;
width: 0%;
height: 100%;
top: -42px;
border-left: 1px solid #97b0b1;
border-top: 1px solid #97b0b1;
border-bottom: 1px solid #97b0b1;
background-color: #00FF00;
z-index: 2;
}
#progress-total-text {
position: relative;
color: black;
top: 30%;
font-size: 15px;
z-index: 3;
}
Thing is, you were showing the animated div over the text.
So I put the text over the animation and put a transparent background behind it.
I applied the grey background to the container instead. I also changed it's height and applied height:100% to it's children.
Here's a full fiddle

Heres an image of the issue I'm trying to resolve. I am working on my portfolio site; and I have images of some of my personal projects, all of them are the same width but some have different heights. Due to getting full page screenshots of my work, some of the images have a much greater height than others. Instead of allowing displaying all the images the same size and allowing scrolling in the modal window, it scales the images down to fit within the same height as all the others. This gives it an odd look cause some of the images get scaled down a lot. I would like to get all the images to display in the same width, and those that need it to allow scrolling to see the rest of the image. I tried to use overflow: scroll; on the .lightbox but that didn't help. I've also tried overflow-y. I would also like to disable the page in the background from being able to scroll, to allow the scrolling to be focused on the images that it is necessary on.
.lightbox {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 10000;
text-align: center;
line-height: 0;
font-weight: normal;
}
.lightbox .lb-image {
display: block;
min-width: 100%;
height: auto;
border-radius: 3px;
/* Image border */
border: 4px solid white;
}
.lightbox a img {
border: none;
}
.lb-outerContainer {
position: relative;
*zoom: 1;
width: 250px;
min-height: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
border-radius: 4px;
/* Background color behind image.
This is visible during transitions. */
background-color: white;
}
Lightbox2 by default appends calculated width & height to the image and .lb-outerContainer. But you can override this by doing the following -
.lb-outerContainer {
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
}
.lightbox .lb-image {
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
}
I don't recommend this because this breaks the intended use of this plugin. I'm sure you'll find an alternative to lightbox2 that achieves what you're looking for. So you can consider this as a temporary fix.
EDIT: Here's a jsfiddle to see it work. https://jsfiddle.net/hsugx6wm/43/
My Goal:
Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. We have an list of categories that appear on a page. The number of categories is unknown. The description can be pretty much any size... yet we want a uniform look. So, we are using the dotdotdot plugin to put ellipses on the paragraphs. When you hover over the item, it should expand the description and show the full text.
I want that hover to float or overlay whatever is below it. Due to some of my layout items (see my NOTE below) my sccontainer element doesn't have a set height. It's dynamic based on the content... with a max-height set.
When I change that height to AUTO in the hover event (which causes the text to flow down and displays all the content), I lose the background on the sccontainer element.
Some pertinent CSS:
.sccontainer { width: 280px; zoom: 1; float: left; margin: 5px 10px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid #8697a1; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 6px #777; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 6px #777; box-shadow: 0 0 6px #777; -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=6, Direction=90, Color='#777777')"; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=6, Direction=90, Color='#777777'); position: relative; background: #fff url(http://imagecss.com/images/background.jpg) repeat-x left top; }
.sccontainer .parent { position: absolute; width: 270px; }
.sccontainer .image { margin: 5px; float: left; }
.sccontainer .image img { width: 48px; }
.sccontainer .icon { margin: 0; }
.sccontainer p { margin: 8px; padding: 0; max-height: 145px; }
.sccontainer h1 { line-height: 24px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; width: 200px; height: 48px; padding: 0; margin: 5px 0 0 0; overflow: hidden; }
.sccontainer h1 a { padding: 0; font-size: 24px; color: #fff; font-weight: normal; }
.sccontainer .content { position: relative; height: 210px; padding: 0 5px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; width: 270px; }
.sccontainer a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
.sccontainer.hover { height: 250px; }
.sccontainer.hover .content { height: auto; }
.sccontainer.hover .content p { min-height: 135px; max-height: none; }
jsFiddle:
Here is a jsFiddle version of what I have right now. You can see this in action, if you hover over the text in the blue box. It's a bit large, so I used jsFiddle instead of putting all the bits here code tags...
http://jsfiddle.net/ztMM5/1/
And here is a mockup of what I'd like to see. Method 5a expands slightly to show the full content.... yets overlaps the red line. None of the other items move around or are affected.
NOTE: Sorry for the size of things. I've trimmed it down about as much as I can. Also, I am modifying an existing intranet website... it's 3rd party, so I have limited control of the source code - hence the table usage. :(
What I've Tried/Researched:
I believe the issue stems from the fact that my sccontainer item is floating, and doesn't have a height specified. That's why the image disappears.
I had a version that kept the background... but the sccontainer box didn't resize like we need... the text just overflowed it... rather ugly.
I don't know enough CSS to make this all work right. I'm not adverse to using jQuery to do more if needed.
I did work on a version that handled most of the hover using the :hover stuff... but it didn't work quite as well as the jQuery approach.
This answer may not solve your specific problem but it may help others with a similar scenario (working with tables makes difficult to render a clean layout in most cases.)
I ran into this issue before and this is how I solved it. It basically relies in an html nested div structure to achieve the expandability of the content without affecting the floating layout of the near elements :
<div id="wrapper" class="cf"><!--wrapper with border and CLEARED-->
<div class="sccontainer"><!--position relative-->
<div class="inner"><!--position absolute-->
<div class="content"><!--position relative-->
<!-- my content here -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- more containers etc-->
</div><!--END wrapper-->
First, we are going to apply the infamous clear-fix hack to the #wrapper container (use your preferred method):
.cf:after {
visibility:hidden;
display:block;
content:"";
clear:both;
height:0
}
* html .cf {
zoom:1
}
/* IE6 */
*:first-child+html .cf {
zoom:1
}
Then the style for the .sccontainer container :
.sccontainer {
width: 280px; /* or whatever - could be % for responsiveness */
padding-bottom:200px; /* any value to give height without using height ;) */
position: relative;
float: left;
margin: 5px 10px; /* or whatever */
overflow: hidden; /* this is important to keep all same height and big content out of sight */
z-index: 1; /* this is important too, see later */
background: white url("imagebackground.jpg") 0 0 repeat-x; /* need to explain? */
}
Then the .inner container, which actually will help to keep the layout in order if we hover the elements
.inner {
position: absolute; /* please don't move */
width: 100%; /* to fill the whole parent container */
height: 100%; /* same */
}
And the content :
.content {
position: relative;
background: white url("imagebackground.jpg") 0 0 repeat-x; /* not redundant though */
width: 100%; /* helps to fill the gaps with small content */
height: 100%; /* same, specially if using image backgrounds */
/* other styles, etc */
}
NOTE: we should apply same border-radius properties to the three containers and box-shadow to .sccontainer and .content for consistency
Now, what happens when we hover ?
.sccontainer:hover {
overflow: visible; /* show the full content */
z-index: 999; /* place me on top of the others if needed (which lower z-index, remember?) */
}
.sccontainer:hover .content {
height: auto; /* as it really is, including background image */
}
NOTES : this effect will happen regardless if the content's height is smaller than the parent container's height. You may not like the effect mostly if you are using borders and shadows (could be shown as smaller box inside the parent container) so we could add an extra class to .sccontainer like
<div class="sccontainer withhover">
and apply the hover effects only if that class exist like
.sccontainer.withhover:hover {
overflow: visible;
z-index: 999;
}
... and use a bit of jQuery to remove that class for shorter content, so it won't be affected :
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$(".sccontainer").hover(function () {
var $contentHeight = $(this).find(".content").height();
if ($(this).innerHeight() > $contentHeight) {
$(this).removeClass("withhover");
}
});
});
See JSFIDDLE
So I have a script I found that allows me to hide a div within an outer div. When the outer div is hovered over the inner div appears. However both the outer and inner div are set to 100% width in CSS and without the script they work properly, spannning the entire width of the screen. With the script they span to only the min-width I set.
This is meant to be a menu bar that spans the entire width of the site at the very top.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a solution to get the div back to the full width of the screen? Hoping it's something simple I missed.
<div id="menu_outer_wrapper"
onmouseover="document.getElementById('menu_strip_wrapper')
.style.visibility = 'visible';"
onmouseout="document.getElementById('menu_strip_wrapper')
.style.visibility = 'hidden';">
And here is my CSS:
#menu_outer_wrapper {
height: 40px:
width: 100%;
float: left;
position: relative;
min-width: 800px;
}
#menu_strip_wrapper {
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
min-width: 800px;
background: #f1f1f2;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
position: relative;
float: left;
font-size: 1.3em;
}
Change : to ; and see if it will work.
#menu_outer_wrapper { height: 40px: }

I have two divs with borders, how do I remove only the border where the 2 divs touch like the picture below shows? But without background overlapping, I mean here background must be transparent.
Question sounds seam like this one Partial Border in CSS but!! without background color overlapping. and also it's liquid dimension, mean not fixed.
If your divs are both static height, you can use a pseudo element to fake the border:
div {
border: 1px solid black;
}
#small {
border-right-width: 0;
height: 80px;
}
#big {
border-left-width: 0;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
}
#big:before {
content: ' ';
border-left: 1px solid black;
position: absolute;
height: 120px;
left: 0; top: 80px;
}
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/FrKZy/
You could probably make it work with dynamic heights using Javascript.
Warning: this won't work in IE7 or under.
Basically, I want many(>25) divs to be displayed one on top of the other so that only one can be seen at a time. I have the jQuery UI draggable implemented, so once a div is dragged away, the next div is shown. What CSS do I need to make such a stack of divs? jQuery is also available if required.
Thanks!
Try this:
CSS
div.square {
cursor: pointer;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 2px dashed purple;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
font-size: 50px;
line-height: 100px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
jQuery + jQueryUI
var count = 25;
var colors = ['red','green','blue','orange','yellow'];
while(count--) {
$('<div/>',{className:'square', text:count}).draggable().css({position:'absolute','z-index':count, text:count, backgroundColor:colors[count % 5]})
.appendTo('body');
}
EDIT:
I just noticed that for some reason in IE and Safari .draggable() overrides the absolute positioning with relative, so you need to set it back to absolute after you made it draggable.
Updated the example above.
http://jsfiddle.net/p9wWA/
You mean something like this?
#relative_container { position: relative; }
#relative_container div { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100px; height: 100px; }
#relative_container div.item_1 { z-index: 100; } /* Higher index means its more on top */
