CSS - Screen Detection
I have a page dien all in css that is all set for 800x600 resolution. Does any one know how I can detect larger screen size/resolutions and center the entire page for these instances
thanks JT Similar TutorialsHi, 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? Hey there! New to code, sort of flying blind but learning a lot as I go along. I'm also kind of shooting for the stars with my design decisions. I was wondering if anyone here has any idea how to mimic the rotating image on Blizzard's website. (As I cannot post the URL, I assume everyone can figure out how to get to Blizzard Entertainment's website easy enough). If you zoom in and out on it, it remains static even as the pieces around it resize over it (this also happens at smaller resolutions). I would desperately like to know how to get it to lock flush against the side of the window like that. Additionally, you'll notice that it doesn't pop a scrollbar onto the window until you shrink the window smaller than the central content. I guess a bigger question is, is this even something achievable in CSS? Do I have to delve into Flash or Javascript to do it, and if so, does anyone know how? Thank you so much in advance! I've run into yet another IE "feature" that i'd like to ask you, dear colleagues, how to solve. I have a relatively positioned div and i need to absolute position another div inside of it to fill almost all width and height of the parent. I need it to have a 20px margin from top and bottom. Here's what works in real browsers: Code: .somediv{ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 20px; bottom: 20px; right: 0; } Now how do i make it work in a developer's nightmare IE? There are 2 more divs in top and bottom both 20px high so the new div shouldn't overlap with them. Hi All, This is my first post in CSS forums. I want to display a DIV in the center of screen. I am using this DIV for the showing the progress image in my search page (So it is is visible only in some cases.) How can I make it visible in the center of the visible screen (above all other elements). Note: User may have scrolled down the screen. I hope this is possible with CSS In IE 7.0 Why is the text displaying the way it is in this screen shot: http://www.larreamma.com/screens/lmma.png It should display like this: http://www.larreamma.com/screens/lmma_ie8.png (I do not have access to IE 7 to readly test various options). Thank you in advance. I couldn't figure out why people were telling me they couldn't see my page but i could see it just fine in two different locations. Come to find out I use firefox and IE is showing a blank page. Can someone help me with this? how can i get a div in the middle of the y-axis of the browser window? <html> Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>All Fore U Golf Clinic</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> @import "nav.css"; </style> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> </style> </head> <body> <div id="header">header thing</div> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <h1>content</h1> <p>Sum Stuff goes here...</p> <p class="last">...and here</p> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <h1>navigation</h1> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">History</a></li> <li><a href="#">Team</a></li> <li><a href="#">Offices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Golf Stuff</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Clubs stuff</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.google.com">accessories stufff</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li> <li><a href="#">France</a></li> <li><a href="#">USA</a></li> <li><a href="#">Australia</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <br> </div> <div class="clearing"> </div> </div> <div id="footer">footer thing</div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: body { font: normal 11px verdana; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */ top: 0; display: none; } /* Styles for Menu Items */ ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */ padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

I could use some help testing out a css box that's been breaking on large screen res's. Its a sliding door effect as the page gets wider made with 800px wide images. I added max-width: 1600px to my container I'm hoping that fixed it. Quote: #container{ width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 100px; max-width: 1600px; } Hi, I am having some trouble with stretching a div to the bottom of my page. My background is blue, but I have a centered "main" div over it that is white and I have a fixed, white bar at the bottom with an "about" link and things of that nature. I havae a "content" div to hold text and actual content inside of the "main" div. When there is enough content, the white areas of the page should form a sort of "top hat" over the blue background. However, some pages do not have enough content to stretch the white foreground all the way to the bottom. Is there anyway to essentially add extra whitespace through CSS? Code: div#main { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:40%; height:auto; background-color:#fff; } div#content { height:100%; } div#disclaimer { background-color:#fff; position:fixed; bottom:0px; left:0px; width:100%; } Those are the pertaining bits of code. The actual content and text of the site are under "content" and "main" is just used for alignment and is a holder for other divs like the header. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Hi When you resize the window to a smaller window the css formatted page contracts and it looks bad. How can you make it add scrollbars so the content doesn't squish as it stays where it is but scrollbars are added to view the whole page. Can it be done as this has a bad effect on my webpage with a few containers when resized to a smaller size. <style type="text/css"> body{margin:0%;padding:0%;min-width:700px;overflow:auto;} I use %positioning for the containers so I guess that also resizes in smaller window mode. If I was to use pixel length and SR is 800X600 is that the actual size i use or would it be smaller? I am having a very strange problem with firefox and different screen resolutions. I have just made a navigation system for a website and tested the links in I.E and F.F - no problems in my screen resolution of 1280 x 1024. I tested it at 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 and firefox does not change to the hover status when hovering over the link. There are no problems in I.E at the smaller resolutions. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this problem. After playing around with a few things i discovered that if i change my display from inline to block it works perfectly in firefox at all resolutions - In I.E it causes a step like appearance to the links. Below is the css I am using, I have also added the xhtml at the bottom. Code: #top_button li { margin: 0; display: inline; list-style-type: none; } #top_button a:link, #top_button a:visited { float: left; overflow: hidden; height: 0px; } #top_nav { margin: 0; padding: 0; } #top_button { position: relative; top: 0px; left: 157px; height: 19px; list-style: none; margin: 0; } #t1 a:link, #t1 a:visited { background-image: url(../images/top_nav_home_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 19px; width: 47px; } #t1 a:hover, #t1 a.current { background-position: 0px -19px; } #t2 a:link, #t2 a:visited { background-image: url(../images/top_nav_services_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 19px; width: 63px } #t2 a:hover, #t2 a.current { background-position: 0px -19px; } #t3 a:link, #t3 a:visited { background-image: url(../images/top_nav_portfolio_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 19px; width: 65px; } #t3 a:hover, #t3 a.current { background-position: 0px -19px; } #t4 a:link, #t4 a:visited { background-image: url(../images/top_nav_resources_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 19px; width: 72px; } #t4 a:hover, #t4 a.current { background-position: 0px -19px; } #t5 a:link, #t5 a:visited { background-image: url(../images/top_nav_contact_1.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top: 19px; width: 59px; } #t5 a:hover, #t5 a.current { background-position: 0px -19px; } { xhtml Code: <div id="top_nav"> <ul id="top_button"> <li id="t1"><a class="current" href="/" title="home"></a></li> <li id="t2"><a href="/services" title="services"></a></li> <li id="t3"><a href="/portfolio" title="portfolio"></a></li> <li id="t4"><a href="/resources" title="resources"></a></li> <li id="t5"><a href="/contact" title="contact"></a></li> </ul> </div> I would appreciate any suggestions! I created a footer that sits on the bottom of the screen using this code: .footer { padding-top:5px; margin-top:5px; font-size:8pt; color:#FFFFFF; position:absolute; bottom:0px; background-image:url('gfx/bg-bottom.jpg'); height:22px; width:100%; } It looks fine when the window is expanded to the size of the screen, but when you shrink it down (so the scroll bar will appear) and then scroll, the footer bar scrolls with the page.. It's kind hard to explain, just give it a try he http://www.juiceboxseo.com/do-it.php Is there a way to make sure it stays on the bottom? I have been looking for this all over the place but cant find the right solution. I want a div aligned like it's on this website. Code: http://www.captaincrawl.com/ 1. It's aligned in the center/middle of the screen 2. It's relative so it moves according to the window size 3. It should work on major browsers such as IE Can anyone help me please? Hi, I have a site (URL address blocked: See forum rules) which I need the bottom footer bar to always be at the base of the screen (on larger resolutions). So when you start minising the browser window and adjusting it up and down it seems to have this grey space under the footer but the footer is meant to be flush to the bottom. Works on every other page bar the homepage and the problem only happens in IE7. Any ideas? Suppose I have the following script that creates a div element and set its width and height to fill the whole screen: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var oDiv = document.createElement('div'); oDiv.style.width = window.screen.availWidth + "px"; oDiv.style.height = window.screen.availHeight + "px"; //oDiv.style.width = window.screen.width + "px"; //oDiv.style.height = window.screen.height + "px"; oDiv.style.border = "solid 1px #ccc"; document.body.appendChild(oDiv ); </script> well, the code above actually does the job, BUT a scrollbar (vertical and horizontal) is also created ... how to get rid of the scrollbars? I was wondering if there was anyway to make a div appear at the bottom of the monitor. In other words, on my laptop, I have a site that I need to scroll down for. It goes as far down as a copyright notice. The copyright notice has a black border on top, right, and left, but not the bottom. That's fine because when it gets to that item, it stops scrolling and lines up with the bottom of the monitor. However, at home, I have a 21" monitor, and the bottom element is just floating there because everything easily fits within the screen. I wanted to see if I could get that bottom element to line up at the bottom of the viewable area somehow. Is this possible? Thanks. Hi, thanks for your time. My problem is with screen resolution, I am currently building a website using 1280 x 1044 pixels. At this resolution the website looks fine. I have used CSS styles and the size page I have used is 80% so there is a blue background around the page. The problem is I have 2 images sized 990 width pixels, at the current resolution they look fine, but when I drop the resolution they will stay the same size (which is now way too big) while the page size will remain a constant 80% so I am left with an image nearly twice as wide as my content. I have thought of splitting one of the images and used a float left and right for it, but the other image is not possible to do that with, I have seen sites with big banners on so how do those images remain constant size even when you change resolution? All help will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Craig I am in the process of designing a website and I have dual monitors at home, one is using 1024x768, and other is using 1280x1024 resolution. The website I have designed, off course looks different from one resolution to the other. One the less resolution monitor, the site looks big (my masthead is 750x200 and the whole page is approximately 770x900), however, on the high resolution, the site looks tiny. on 1200 wide resolution my page width is only 770, so there is white (in my case blue) space both sides making it look not so good. Because of the above reason, the site looks big on one monitor and very tiny on the other. I am sure there would be lots of people out there with those two kinds of resolutions (I am mostly concerned about these two resolutions). I wonder how do people deal with this when they are designing a website? Could one find out the resolution of the monitor ahead of time (before displaying the page) and have different css/images be loaded based on the monitor it is being viewed? Is there a concept of floating site -- what I mean by that is if there is a concept of site automatically changing appearance based on screen resolution? Thanks!!! |
