wondered if any one knew of a way of creating a floating menu bar that sticks to a point on a page until the browser window gets far enough down the page and unsticks it and then the menu bar begins to scroll along with it. The effect I want is the exact same as this http://www.jtricks.com/javascript/navigation/floating.html javascript menu. However, I really want to do this with CSS. I am aware I can make the div Absolutely positioned and it will move down the page, I tried making one DIV relative positioned (parent div) and then another div inside this which was absolute positioned, but I could not get this to work. Does any one know how to make this work with CSS or does it need to be JS?
Thanks in advance.
Jon.
I believe using javascript is the only solution to get the effect you described. Here's a quick demo of a banner that starts in a absolute position and goes to fixed when the user scrolls.
<div style="height:1000px;width:500px;">
<div id="floatbar" style="background:gray;
width:200px;
height:40px;
position:absolute;
left:0;top:200px;">
</div>
</div>
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= 200)
{
$("#floatbar").css({position:'fixed',left:'0',top:'0'});
}
else
{
$("#floatbar").css({position:'absolute',left:'0',top:'200px'});
}
});
well if you do NOT need the animation, than just use
position: fixed;
in the css.
if you want it animated you need to use javascript.
for example in jquery:
$(window).scroll(function(){
$('#menu').css({
right: 0,
top: 0
})
})
Well you can't do it with absolute positioned div inside of a relative. Fixed position is basically an absolute positioned div, positioned relatively to the window. I'd say you definately need javascript here.
This should be rather easy with a fixed sidebar, and a floating content section. Try something like this...
#container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
#sidenav {
width: 300px;
position: fixed; /*--Fix the sidenav to stay in one spot--*/
float: left; /*--Keeps sidenav into place when Fixed positioning fails--*/
}
#content {
float: right; /*--Keeps content to the right side--*/
width: 620px;
padding: 0 20px 20px;
}
This is old post but CSS has changed a lot since then, we can do a floating menu with plain CSS. See sample code below. Credit to https://www.quackit.com/css/codes/css_floating_menu.cfm
main {
margin-bottom: 200%;
}
.floating-menu {
font-family: sans-serif;
background: yellowgreen;
padding: 5px;;
width: 130px;
z-index: 100;
position: fixed;
right: 0px;/* You can change float left/right */
}
.floating-menu a,
.floating-menu h3 {
font-size: 0.9em;
display: block;
margin: 0 0.5em;
color: white;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Example</title>
<main>
<p>Scroll down and watch the menu remain fixed in the same position, as though it was floating.</p>
<nav class="floating-menu">
<h3>Floating Menu</h3>
CSS
HTML
Database
</nav>
</main>
I believe it needs to be JS. I can imagine it can be rather simple with jQuery and I really cannot think of any way to achieve this only with CSS. I'll try to think about it, but I doubt I'll find a solution.

Is there anyway I can make an HTML div move down while scrolling instead of moving up without using javascript? I know you can use window.onscroll = function() { } and have that move the position of an object while scrolling, but is there anyway I can move an object down with just CSS and HTML?
I think you want to retain your div on the viewport while scrolling down.
There are 2 ways for it.
Make the element position fixed and apply positioning to that element.
Make parent element position relative and make your div position sticky and apply positioning.
Positioning means adding any one of the top, right, bottom, and left properties.
.parent {
height: 1200px;
width: auto;
position: relative;
}
.floating {
position: sticky;
top: 10px;
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background: black;
color: white;
}
<div class="parent">
<p>Hi this is parent</p>
<div class="floating">
This is floating element
</div>
</div>
I've been looking into sticking a "div" to the top of the screen when you scroll past it, or making the div scroll with the page when it reaches the top of the screen.
The issue i get when i try this matter is that changing to position: fixed; using either jquery or the simple css, removes the float from the element.
My layout look somewhat like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ThSXm/33/ <-- updated
So when the float is removed, the id="content" get's overlapped by the sidemenu, making the sidemenu bigger and out of place.
I need a solution where you dont have to alter the position of the elements or if there is some fix i can make on the content div so it wont get overlapped when changing the positions.
Update
Sandeeproop managed to help me with the positioning, but the scroll matter is still a issue.
As i mentioned in the comment for this question, the div has to scroll/stick to the top of the screen when the div is close to the top or reaches the top (and preferably stop once the div reaches the footer or is close to reaching the footer), because there are more divs (header/slideshow etc) before we reach the side menu, and you wont see the menu if you just use position: fixed.
Any thoughts?
/update
Looking forward to some answers!

If i understand you question correctly.
Please check this fiddle.
#nav {
width: 136px;
position: fixed;
background: #FF0000;
margin-left: 1em;
margin-top: 1em;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
height: 600px;
background: #FF9966;
float: left;
margin-left: 170px;
margin-top: 1em;
}
You can set fixed margin-top values for nav and content elements.
Something like that http://jsfiddle.net/ThSXm/26/
#nav {
width: 15%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
background: #FF0000;
margin-left: 1em;
margin-top: 60px;
}
#content{
width: 80%;
height: 600px;
background: #FF9966;
float: left;
margin-left: 1em;
margin-top: 60px;
}
I guess what you are looking for is "position: sticky".
This is not yet supported by many browsers, but here is a pollyfill for it
http://philipwalton.github.io/polyfill/demos/position-sticky/
Have you considered a solution where you use position:absolute on the element?
Have it being absolute untill you need it to stick and then change it to fixed.
Here is a simple fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/dXe97/
if ($(this).scrollTop() > boxTop) {
$box.css({
'position':'fixed',
'top': 0
});
}else{
$box.css({
'position':'absolute',
'top': 150
});
};
The .box element is absolute positioned, but when you scroll down passed the element, it is changed to fixed and its top value is set to 0, and back again when you scroll up.
Got a link that got a span, inside that span I will from jquery add a number of news. But I want it to be smaller and with a bit of padding so it looks like a notification on a app?
This is the code I got:
<a id="menyNavOptions" href="nyheter.php" >Nyheter<span style="margin-bottom: 30px; font-size: 0.8em;font-weight:bolder ; color: #ff0000!important; line-height:0.3em;" id="outPost"></span></a>
So the look I am going for is a Link with a number on the top right corner
Thanks
display:block won't help, because it will have the full width (100%). Use display:inline-block;
http://jsfiddle.net/M5TKv/
But I'm not sure if Padding bottom will do what you want.
I think you want to do this:
http://jsfiddle.net/M5TKv/1/
Try add display:inline-block in the CSS and it should behave as you expect :)
But I would rather use position relative on the link and position absolute on the span.
.linkclass {
position: relative;
}
.spanclass {
position: absolute;
top: -10px;
right: 0;
}
Add display: inline-block; float: right;
I'm having some issues with a webpage of mine, mainly on mobile devices but it also affects desktop devices too, I would be willing to award a bounty (as and when stackoverflow allows me) to whomever can help with these problems
HTML: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=bbFsMcwT
CSS: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SGMwt3cs
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/D8SJD/
Issue 1 - Left/Right Scroll Image Buttons
Currently my left and right scroll image buttons are done in html using onmouseover and onmouseout I want to be able to convert them into css based "buttons"
Issue 2 - Dynamic Resolution(s)
The header and footers aren't dynamic with different resolutions for example, I created the page designed on a 1680x1050 monitor which looks like: Desktop 1680x1050 however making the window smaller it looks like: Desktop Small Window
On a Nexus 4 mobile phone on default zoom it looks like: Mobile Original Zoom
On a Nexus 4 mobile phone zoomed out to as far as it can go it looks like: Mobile Max Distance
On a Nexus 4 zoomed out and scrolled to the bottom (so that the browsers URL bar disappears) it looks like: Zoomed out without URL bar (the footer of the actual webpage vanishes)
On a Nexus 4 zoomed out and scrolled just off from the bottom (so that the browsers URL bar is visible) it looks like: Zoomed out with URL bar (the footer returns)
.
The placeholder image and arrows are supposed to be in the center of the footer and headers and should shrink in accordance to the screen resolution.
Mobile device default zoom (if possible) needs to be decreased so they can see more and on getting smaller (if possible) if it gets close to Mobile Original Zoom then the Up to Top, Down to Key, placeholder logos should vanish...
Please see images at bottom of this post
For the mobile devices I tried things like below just for testing but none of them worked...
#media (max-width: 640px) {
#header > a img {
display: none;
}
}
EDIT 14/11/2013 # 01:58GMT
On a 1920x1080 screen it looks kind of okay although there is a big gap between the text and the placeholder image as seen below:
On a 1680x1050 screen it looks roughly how it should take note of where "Semi" is located and compare to the 1920x1080 image from above.
On a 600x600 screen it appears as follows, which as you can see there is a big gap between the placeholder and the left arrow but on the right arrow there is no gap and infact it overflows, as for the text it too is too far to the right.
Type
#media screen and (max-width:640px) {
/* Your specific styles go here */
}
and dont forget to add
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
Hope that helps :-)
I see a border around your links, remove from your links:
a{
border:none ;
}
for first issue you can do it with CSS, just remove <img> tag inside <a> tag like this:
<div class="footleft">
<a class="def" href="javascript: void(0);">
</a>
</div>
create image buttons like this:
then set background to <a> tag like this:
#footer .footleft a {
width: 100px;
height: 47px;
display: block;
background: url(path/to/leftarrow.png);
background-position: 0 0;
}
#footer .footright a{
width: 100px;
height: 47px;
display: block;
background: url(path/to/rightarrow.png);
background-position: 0 0;
}
#footer .footleft a:hover , #footer .footright a:hover{
background-position: 0 100%;
}
second issue, I think if you remove position:absolute; from #header .headimage and #footer .footimage it will be okay.
and if your want to centerize headmid and footmid and footmidtwo you have two choices,
First: set fixed width to them and use CSS like this:
#footer .footmid {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
width: 292px;
margin-left: -146px;
}
#footer .footmidtwo {
top: 70%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
width: 126px;
margin-left: -63px;
}
#header .headmid {
top: 60%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
width: 302px;
margin-left: -151px;
}
Second: if you need to have dynamic width you can use this CSS and JQuery:
CSS:
#header .headmid {
top: 60%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
}
#footer .footmid {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
}
#footer .footmidtwo {
top: 70%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
}
JQuery:
var $widthhead = $(".headmid").width();
var $widthfoot = $(".footmid").width();
var $widthfoot2 = $(".footmidtwo").width();
$(".headmid").css("margin-left",$widthhead/2*(-1));
$(".footmid").css("margin-left",$widthfoot/2*(-1));
$(".footmidtwo").css("margin-left",$widthfoot2/2*(-1));
jsFiddle is here
Okay I've tried to filter out all of the irrelevant code for this solution.
See the solution here.
Most of the time, it is best to use relative positioning to fit elements absolutely inside of another element. In your case, with three different strings to fit in a 300x80 window, it's a bit crowded. I tried to place things in a logical position to demonstrate.
By placing a container in the footimage div with relative position, you can then place every element inside the footimage div absolutely relavtive to the footimage div, rather than to the entire page.
For example, what you had:
#footer .footmid
{
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
}
Will place the div of class footmid at a position 50% of the page height from the top of the page and 50% of the page width from the left of the page:
This will work if every user that visits your page has the exact same resolution, however it causes problems when the don't. Obviously, this isn't a perfect world, so different resolutions will visit your page.
What you can do is use relative positioning!
Basically I tell CSS that instead of moving 50% from the top and left of the window, move 50% from the top and left of the nearest parent element with relative positioning:
You can modify the bottom, left, and right attributes of my fiddle to move the footmid elements within the relative element .footimageContainer that is the same size and in the same position as the .footimage.
As far as your arrows, I wasn't quite sure what you were trying to accomplish; your question was pretty vague, so I simply made them fade out slightly when you mouseover them. Any mouseover/out events can be handled using CSS psuedo-elements.
.element //Native and mouseout
{}
.element:hover //onmouseover
{}
Remember that if you use pseudo-elements, you have to specify the attribute that will be changing in both the native and :hover rules.
.element
{color:red;}
.element
{color:black;}
If you have any additional questions on the arrows, let me know and I'll revise my answer.
http://jsfiddle.net/D8SJD/4/
Instead of using absolute positioning, you can just take advantage of the text-align center and images and text will center automatically.
If you want offset from center, try position:relative, and top, left, right etc and it will move relative to it's central position.
Elements that are display:inline; or display:inline-block; will align according to parents text-align property, in this case text-align:center.
#footer .footimage {
display:inline;
position:relative;
top:-10px;
}
#footer .footmid {
top: 50%;
width:100%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
}
#footer .footmidtwo {
top: 70%;
width:100%;
position: absolute;
font-size: 15px;
}
As per issue 2, i could be wrong but when targeting the image through the structure of the site
i.e.
headImg a img{...}
The style wouldn't work. But if you add classes to the images the style will work; the case could be that there are some unclosed divs or elements messing with the architecture.
<div class="headimage">
<img class="placeholder" src="http://placehold.it/300x80"/>
</div>
#media screen and (max-width: 640px) {
.placeholder {
display: none;
}
}
JsFiddle here - http://jsfiddle.net/Q5bEb/
I have a div with absolute position
inside some other divs.
http://jsfiddle.net/d8GYk/
<div style="position: absolute;
display: block;
outline: 0px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
top: 0;
text-align: left;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: arial;
cursor: default;
border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170);
overflow-x: hidden; white-space: pre;
overflow-y: auto;
left: 0px;
height: 132px;"><div>a a END</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div><div>ab</div></div>
As you can see the first div is not completely visible
That's because the vertical scroll bar covers it.
If I set overflow-y:scroll. The problem goes away.
However I don't want to do it because this div is autogenerated (via javascript) and in many cases I don't need the vertical scroll bar (for example if the list has one or two or three items)
Can somebody suggest how to resolve this problem ?
if the scrollbar may or may not show, use a content container with a wrapper that may or may not scroll. html:
<div class="container">
<div class="entries">
<div>ab a</div>
<div>ab</div>
...
</div>
</div>
and css:
.container {
height: 100px;
overflow-y: auto;
}
.entries div {
white-space: pre;
}
Demonstrator: http://jsfiddle.net/gFrbM
That said, if you absolute need pre white space handling, AND your lines are very long, you'll either need to turn on scroll for both directions, not just y, and that's a good indication that the way you're trying to present content is not a good way to go about it. The UX will be poor for your users, and depending on the content you're listing in these entry divs, there will be much better ways to show that data.
Du you really need "white-space: pre;"?
If you remove this part i think it is going to work
Use a margin-right for each div inside the container:
.container div{margin:0 20px 0 0}
http://jsfiddle.net/Karzin/d8GYk/2/
Add this to css
{padding-right: 20px;}
Reason: The border of the scroll is covering your div text. you need to give some space for the same.
