I would like to do this simple layout:
3 columns with left and right position:fixed because when scroll down, left and right supposed to stay still
We know left column width = 200px
We know middle column width = 400px
We DON'T know right column width and it should be fluid (i.e. fill in rest of the screen width OR zero)
This is the sample I have (but with col3's width as 100px). So the question is how to fix css of col3 to make it fluid but still reserve position:fixed?
http://jsfiddle.net/Endt7/1/
My last alternative is to use jQuery. But I don't want to touch it unless really necessary for layout.
Thanks.
For absolute/fixed positioned elements, width is a function of left and right. So, set the left: 600px; right: 0; on the third column and browser will determine the width. That is it. Here is the revised CSS, with few changes for consistency:
.col1 {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
background: red;
}
.col2 {
margin-left: 200px;
width: 400px;
height: 100%;
background: green;
}
.col3 {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 600px;
right: 0;
background: blue;
}
Demo here
Can do it using float:left or absolute position for the left and middle columns and set margin-left equal to their combined widths.
.col1 {
background: red;
float:left;
width: 200px;
height:100%
}
.col2 {
background: green;
float:left;
width: 400px;
height:100%
}
.col3 {
background: blue;
margin-left:600px;
}

Image:
I have a container div (yellow) which I’d like to keep at 50% width of the window. A child of that container is an image div (purple) that stretches to 100% of the parent container’s width. and there’s a sticky label (pink) on top of the image div (position: absolute so it can be offset relatively to the image). I'd like to keep that entire half of the screen fixed positioning so it stays sticky as I scroll.
There’s also a title under the image, and that title needs to be visible no matter if someone shrinks the window vertically. So in that scenario the image div should shrink vertically, if needed, in order for that title to be shown.
Basically I'm trying to have the image div always be 100% width of the parent container div. With the image div having a max % height so it can shrink vertically. Or have it keep a fixed aspect ratio (3:4 or whatever) when it shrinks vertically.
I'm trying to avoid using fixed pixels, or ems, in the entirety of my CSS. since the website needs to be stretchy/‘fluid’ vertically, because that title under the image has to show.
HTML looks roughly like:
<wrapper>
<left-column>
<normal text and scrollable stuff>
<right-column-yellow>
<image sticky label-pink>
<image div-purple>
<image title>
Sorry if this is damn confusing my brain is fried! Can anyone pls help me?
You can divide your left and right panel by using position fixed.
If I'm not wrong with your description, this is the answer.
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">
<p><!--Some very long text--></p>
</div>
<div class="right">
<div class="image">
<div class="label">Label</div>
<div class="title">Title</div>
</div>
</div>
Some CSS
.left,.right{
position: fixed;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}
.left{
left:0;
top: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
.right{
right: 0;
top:0;
background-color: yellow;
}
.right .image{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 50%;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
background-color: #fff;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
.right .image .label{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: -10px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
background-color: pink;
margin: auto;
}
.right .image .title{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: -40px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
background-color: #000;
margin: auto;
color: #fff;
font-size: 30px;
}

I have a problem...In the following example i don't want that the div who is fixed get over the div with the background red.
Here is the example:
http://jsfiddle.net/HFjU6/3645/
#fixedContainer
{
background-color:#ddd;
position: fixed;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
left: 50%;
top: 0%;
margin-left: -100px; /*half the width*/
}
Alright, I think I get what the OP wants. He wanted a container that stays fixed on the top of the viewport, but remains confined by a parent. This behaviour is known as a conditional sticky behaviour, and is actually implemented in both Firefox (without vendor prefix) and macOS/iOS Safari (with -webkit- prefix): see position: sticky.
Therefore the easiest (but also the least cross-browser compatible) way is simply to modify your markup, such that the sticky element stays within a parent, and you declare position: sticky on it:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#fixedContainer {
background-color: #ddd;
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
left: 50%;
top: 0%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0); /* Negative left margins do not work with sticky */
}
#div1 {
height: 200px;
background-color: #bbb;
}
#div1 .content {
position: relative;
top: -100px; /* Top offset must be manually calculated */
}
#div2 {
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
}
<div id="div1">
<div id="fixedContainer">I am a sticky container that stays within the sticky parent</div>
<div class="content">Sticky parent</div></div>
<div id="div2">Just another element</div>
An alternative would be to use a JS-based solution. In this case, you do not actually have to modify your markup. I have changed the IDs for easier identification of the elements, however.
The gist of the logic is this:
When the scroll position does not exceed the bottom of the parent minus the outer height of the sticky content, then we do not do anything.
When the scroll position exceeds the bottom of the parent minus the outer height of the sticky content, we dynamically calculate the top position of the sticky content so that it remains visually in the parent.
$(function() {
$(window).scroll(function() {
var $c = $('#sticky-container'),
$s = $('#sticky-content'),
$t = $(this); // Short reference to window object
if ($t.scrollTop() > $c.outerHeight() - $s.outerHeight()) {
$s.css('top', $c.offset().top + $c.outerHeight() - $t.scrollTop() - $s.outerHeight());
} else {
$s.css('top', 0);
}
});
});
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
div {
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
}
#sticky-container {
background-color: #bbb;
height: 200px;
}
#sticky-content {
background-color: #ddd;
position: fixed;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
margin-left: -100px;
left: 50%;
top: 0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="sticky-content">Sticky content that stays within the bounds of #div1</div>
<div id="sticky-container">Sticky confinement area</div>
<div>Other content</div>
Old answer before OP clarified the question appropriately:
Just give them the appropriate z-index values. In this case, you want to:
Do not use static positioning. This can be done by using position: relative for the large elements, in conjunction with the originally position: fixed element.
Assign the appropriate stacking order. The grey <div> element to have the lowest z-index, followed by the position fixed element, and then by the red element.
There are some catchalls to stacking though: the stacking context is reset when you traverse up or down the node tree. For example, the example will not work if the elements are not siblings.
Here is a proof-of-concept example, modified from your fiddle so that inline CSS is removed.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#fixedContainer {
background-color: #ddd;
position: fixed;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
left: 50%;
top: 0%;
margin-left: -100px;
z-index: 2;
}
#div1 {
height: 200px;
background-color: #bbb;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
#div2 {
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
position: relative;
z-index: 3;
}
<div id="fixedContainer">z-index: 2</div>
<div id="div1">z-index: 1</div>
<div id="div2">z-index: 3</div>
Just give the z-index.
Hope it helps...

I have a div element (shown with red border in the image below), which I want to be able to fit in its parent div when the window is resized and not fall into the next line (the parent is the one with the green border).
I want the red div to have a starting width: 949px (in my current screen) in order to fit the entire space available as shown in the image, but be resizable, so that it doesn't fall into the next line if width: 949px is to much to fit.
In essence, I want it at all costs to cover the area it covers in the image even if in a narrower screen that means it will be like 10px wide.
How can I achieve this? Any solution using CSS, JavaScript or jQuery will be gladly accepted.
The image:
CSS:
#parent {
text-align: center;
width: 90%;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
display: inline-block;
}
#child1-row2 {
text-align: left;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 288px;
display: inline-block;
}
#child2-row2 {
text-align: left;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 288px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 25px 0 25px;
display: inline-block;
}
#child3-row2 {/* The one with the red border */
vertical-align: middle;
height: 452px;
width: 949px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
You can use flexbox to do this by using the flex-grow property.
HTML :
<div id="main">
<div id="box1">1</div>
<div id="box2">2</div>
<div id="box3">3</div>
</div>
CSS :
#main {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row;
width:100%;
min-height:50px;
}
#box1{
background-color:red;
width:100px;
}
#box2{
background-color:blue;
width:100px;
}
#box3{
background-color:green;
flex-grow: 1;
}
Here is a working JSFiddle
You can use css calc function for this. Support for calc seems to be quite good now.
As you have mentioned, the left side divs are of fixed width, say 120px each. Also suppose the margin between them is 30px. So, the total width left for your red div is 100% - (2*120 + 2*30)px i.e. (100% - 300px ).
#red-div
{
width: calc(100% - 300px);
}
Add % width or you can do following :
$(window).resize(function() {
var window_width = $(window).width();
var w1_width = $('.div1').width(); // The first element width
var w2_width = $('.div2').width(); // The second element width
var main_div_width = window_width - (w1_width+w2_width+gutter[i.e margin between all 3 elements]);
$('.main_div_width').css('width', main_div_width);
});
I am struggling all afternoon to resolve a problem. Maybe this is a common question but I could not find anything similar in here or on Google. I hope you guys can help.
I have a fixed positioned element on the left of the page and I want that the distance between that element and another on the page be always the same when the browser window is larger. How can I do it?
Now, the other element has to be set in percentage while the fixed element can be or not with pixels.
Is there any css calc(), javaScript, jQuery, something you can think of to resolve this?
HTML
<div class="fixed"></div>
<div class="left-element"></div>
CSS
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
min-height: 2000px;
min-width: 100%;
}
.fixed
{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: blue;
}
.right-element {
width: 25%;
height: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
margin-left: 75%;
}
Here is the Fiddle
I have the same solution as #Calvin Claus but with just a minor css modifcation, no javascript needed
.right-element {
width: calc(100% - 400px);
height: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
margin-left: 400px;
}
fiddle
Update: Similar, but as you asked, the calc on the fixed element.
.fixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 200px;
width: calc(75% - 200px);
background-color: blue;
}
.right-element {
width: 25%;
height: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
margin-left: 75%;
}
new fiddle
I came up with a simple jquery solution:
var distanceBetwennElems = 100;
function calcRightElemWidth() {
var rightElemWidth = $(window).width() - ($('.fixed').width() + distanceBetwennElems);
$('.right-element').css("width", rightElemWidth);
}
Just call this when the document is ready and the window is resized.
Also I removed margin and width form the .right-element css, because this is done by js now:
.right-element {
height: 200px;
background-color: yellow;
float: right;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/bjrno78p/2/
You can adjust the width of the left, fixed element, using calc. Here's an example using 500px as the desired distance between the elements, and 25% as the width for the right-element.
.fixed
{
// disired distance = 500px
// right-element width = 25%
width: calc(100vw - 500px - 25%);
}
Your updated fiddle
I have a canvas in my page, and i want it to fill the page until it reaches the bottom of the page.
I have the canvas' width set to 100%, but i cannot set the height to 100% as it extends too far.
The position of the div is not 0,0 of the browser window there are other things above it, so i end up with a scroll bar because 100% height extends well below the bottom of my browser's output.
So i was wondering how can i extend the element's height to reach the bottom of the page from its current position on the web page?
<style>
.canvas{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
<style>
<div class="logo">Stuff here</div>
<div class="output">
<canvas class="canvas"></canvas>
</div>
Do i need to use JavaScript or is there a CSS method to doing this?
If you know the height of the content above the canvas, you can use top and bottom properties to take up the rest of the space:
JS Fiddle
.logo {
height: 40px;
}
.output {
position: absolute;
top: 40px; // height of above content
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
.canvas {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
And if you don't know the height of the above content, you can calculate it:
JQuery Example: JS Fiddle
var height = $('header').height();
$('.output').css('top', height);
this technique is also great when making resizable popups with fixed height headers and footers, but fluid height content
https://jsfiddle.net/ca5tda6e/
set the header (.logo) to a fixed height
.logo{
height: 100px;
background-color: lightGray;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
then position the content (.output) absolute, with a padding-top: 100px
.output{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box; /* so that padding is included in width/height */
padding-top: 100px; /* padding-top should be equal to .logo height */
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
overflow: hidden; /* there was like a pixel of something i couldnt get rid of, could have been white space */
}
I've had this problem before, in CSS, create this rule....
html, body {
margin: 0;
}
