CSS - Keeping A Div In The Same Place On Screen Durring Scrolling
I was wondering if it was possiable to have a DIV that stays in the same place on the screen when the user scrolls. I have seen this done and would like to do it. I think it would involve using the z-index to raise the div and then position it realitive to the visiable part of the screen. I can figure out how to position it however.
Thanks for any ideas. Similar TutorialsHey everyone, U have been developing a website that is modular based. It revolves around, PHP, HTML and CSS. what I've been doing is using an HTML <style></style> section at the beginning of every PHP file. what I was wondering is, is this normal practice. What I plan on doing is creating an individual stylesheet for each and every PHP page once the site is complete. I find this lets me control the style of the website more systematically. For example. My index.php page is pretty much just a bunch of php includ statments. ech of which have a set of <style> and </style> tags at the beginning of each file. These style statements only contrl items that are listed in the file. For my menu, everything starts with #menu, which is a div of the menu, I find this a very easy way to keep track of what style controls what. So when I'm working on the menu, all I have to do is go to the top of the file and edit the style statement. If everything works out right, I plan on moving it all to .css files that are imported to a default.css file which is called in the <link> statement. Is this normal practice or is there an easier way. I find this very easy to keep track of things but if there is an easier way, I am glad to hear about it. Hi, I am a wannabe css compiler... Have the following problem. wrote css for a square screen monitor and placed css box in an area to the right of center, my partner called and told me it sat to the left over the side menu onher wide screen. I cannot figure out how to compensate the (top/left) position to cover both type screens... Anyone help me? I have a set of background images that work well in giving the impression that there is a solid page on screen. However, as you can see here , once I start introducing structure it falls apart and I'd really () like to know why. (The CSS validates OK and I've given temporary borders to the divs to help show where on the screen they should appear). Hi, I have started to get to grips with CSS but I am currently just playing - I have not designed any serious pages but am about to. I wondered if it is possible (I am sure it is but I cannot work out how) to use a h1 tag in the middle of a paragraph <p> without making it start a new line. Does anyone know of a method to force the text within the h1 tag to just flow within the sentance? For example if the above block was a paragraph the word CSS on the first line could be included within a h1 tag but it would remain on the line as it currently is (however in this case it would be forced to appear as capital letters, but I can take care of that part myself). Thanks for your time Hi the I wonder if there is a way to keep spiders away from certain sections of my web pages? For example, keep them away from the nav_bar, but index the rest of the html page? Someone told me it could be done by CSS but I've tried to search for it without any luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Ponch Hi How do I get a <div> to stay at the bottom, constantly, even if a layer above it gets resized so that its longer than the page in the browser. I have one <div> and then the footer <div> but the upper <div> gets resized to about 1000px and over laps the footer <div>, how do I get the footer <div> to keep at the bottom ? I believe this has been asked before, but I'm unsure what search terms to use... Basic one column CSS layout. How to keep the footer at the bottom of the window even when content doesn't reach that far? I'm having problems with keeping the border of an div tight in against the div's content. At the following URL http://alphaworks.co.uk/problems/box/ I want the next and prev divs to be a little larger than the text inside them and then the outer prev_next div should be a little bigger than the two divs inside it but not stretching to the width of the page as it does now. Can someone show me the error of my ways? Thanks, Geoff Hi, I have a container with a border that works fine , but when I float 4 elements that are in a row, the container shrinks, and they are outside the container. How can I align four boxes, and keep them in the container? here's the example: http://www.caillouette.com/alpha-dream/ thanks I am trying to have an element that will float above the others on the page and also be centered. When I make the position absolute, it will float above the others, but won't center (dynamically with window resize) and if I make the position auto, it will center but not float above the others. Here is the style: Code: .main { position:auto; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center; width: 800px; background-color:red; z-index:1; } Thank you Hello, I'm stumped on how to float an image to the left, and still keep it in the flow of the document. Here is an example off my head. Code: #container { border: 1px solid #000; } img.floatleft { float:left; } div { display: inline; } <div id='container'> <img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'> <div>text</div><br> <div>text</div><br> <div> <div id='container'> <img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'> <div>text</div><br> <div>text</div><br> <div> The image will exceed the bounds of 'container' if the image is larger than the text is tall. How can I get around this? Thanks again for the help. webg <div>text</div> I am working on aligning a pricelist with product and price. The procuct is on the left, and the price should align to the right on the same line. When I try to use float: right in the div for the price it jumps down a line, if I use text-align right in a relative devision it also jumps doen a line. I also tried adding align:right to the b tag. Any ideas how to get this done? I am trying to avoid tables. Thanks What I need to do is align a series of icons to the center, but there are a few complications, they must continue to be centered with any combination of 4-5 different(same sized) icons. For example icon 3 and 4, when displayed must be centered together, and at the same time, if icon 1 and 5 are being displayed they must also be centered correctly. First of all they are appearing on 2 seperate lines, and I seem to be unable to put them on the same line without using float:left on one. But I can't just float:left image one to put them on the same line, as image one may not be displayed in the next instance(with a different combination of images). And I don't think I can set a width on the div and center it because there will not be the same number of icons displayed in each instance(could be 1-5, 14x14 icons). My guess is that some % values can make this work but I'm just not sure how. I was going to post an illustration of what I mean but I guess it's blocked... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hi all, I have a 2-column layout for my web pages plus a header and footer section. The left column contains a navigation menu (which grows and shrinks depending on the current menu selection), and the right column contains the main text and other information. I float the nav menu left. No problem. But when the footer is displayed (and I have set "clear: both" on the footer element to try and keep it at the bottom), it will appear somewhere in the middle of the menu in cases where the menu is long (vertically) and the main content area contains only a few lines of text. My current method to drop the footer below the menu is very klunky, and probably what most people do (unless they know of a better way). Yes, the series of <br /> tags before printing the footer. Is there a better way of ensuring that the footer is placed where it should (below all other content) so I don't have to insert all those <br /> tags? My CSS for the page layout is: Code: #doc { /* Main document area */ margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 5%; margin-top: 5px; border: solid 1px #900; } #logo { text-align: center; background: #c30000; } #main { margin-left: 150px; margin-right: 0%; padding: 10px; border-left: solid 1px #c00; background: #fff; color: #000; } #nav { position: absolute; margin-left: 0%; float: left; padding: 0px; border: 0px; top: 110px; width: 150px; /* Same as margin-left setting in #main */ color: #000; } #footer { clear: both; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; border-bottom: 2px solid #906; background-color: #c00; color: #ddd; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; line-height: 1.5; } And a typical html page would be structured thusly: Code: <!-- USUAL HTML BEGINNING STUFF HERE --> <body> <div id="doc"> <!-- Logo image --> <div id="logo"> <!-- LOGO GOES HERE --> </div> <!-- Main content window --> <div id="main"> <!-- MAIN CONTENT GOES HERE --> </div> <!-- Navigation menu --> <div id="nav"> <!-- NAV MENU CODE HERE --> </div> <!-- footer --> <div id="footer"> <!-- FOOTER CODE HERE --> </div> </div> </body></html> Is my CSS coding incorrect, or is this a universal problem? Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated. I'm trying to have the contact information for a site to always appear in a right div next to the main content div. I would like it to always appear in the top right of the div, no matter how much the user scrolls down. This way, the information is always visible. I tried experimenting with background images in certain divs, but Firefox (but not IE) was having trouble displaying it the way I wanted. I've seen it in action before, so I'll post a URL if i can find where. I have this problem making this menu and I have multible <h1></h1> on each title of the of stuff. It seems that the text gets bigger and bigger then when its to big then the text in the <h1> goes back smaller. Is there a way to fix this? Here is my code. Code: h1 { font-family: cursive, sans serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 200%; font-style: cursive;} EDIT:The strange thing is that I know of this wird effect only happens in IE. Thank you, sorry to be a bother but I do want to have a good first impression on my site that I am working for Ernies Bar & Grill at my town. Greetings, My example page is located here. As you can see I'm having issues on the bottom of the page. I believe I know what is causing the issue, just not how to fix it. I need it only to work in IE and at a resolution of 1024x768 and higher. I have the footer outside of the other wrappers which are set to 100% height. But wrapper_04, which does not include the header, seems to be extending past the footer the same height as the header because it is trying to be the same height as the other parent wrapper elements? Any thoughts on how I can fix this using just CSS? I do have some js which sets the height of the content_wrapper so the background image extends the full height (yellow line image on the right of the page), but it should not be affecting the rest of the page. Thanks in advance for any assistance! I am not an expert on developing websites, but I've been able to get our site up and running without much challenge. I used a menu I found on www.dynamicdrive.com that allowed you to have our menu in a horizontal or verticle layout. We don't use frames in our site but we wanted a frames-type look. So we use the menu in the vertical layout. What I'd like to do is find a way to keep the menu on the screen as people scroll down. I've seen other websites do this and have looked at a couple that were recommended from a previous post, but I can't figure out how to make it work propertly. Our website is www.indyartistgroup.com. If someone could take a look at the site and suggest some ideas on how to make the menu on the left hand side stay on screen no matter how low you scroll I would appreciate it. I'm out of options at this point. Thanks for the help. John Hi, I've just reworked my site, and I'm having trouble keeping the footer at the bottom of the page. my site stylesheet (see div#footer) Any ideas? I've tried setting body min-height (and height for ie) to 100% and setting position:absolute; bottom:0px; but that didn't work. Hi guys, I recently redeseigned my site using CSS from tables. When the window (IE) was made smaller before, the content would stay put but you just wouldnt see it all (obviously cause now the window is smaller) but with CSS it dumps it at the very bottom of the screen and leaves my content area totally blank. Is there some way this can be fixed? Daragh |
