I want to scroll a large picture in a small block. But when I put the large image in a small block, the layout is broken; the image just extends out of the block. I found a nice library which could resolve this. Check this out:

Did use the style overflow: hidden; on the container? Also, I already used image-scroller from viget, works well :)

I've been trying to create a couple of typical layout examples using Singularity, and I have a question about grid-span and floats.
I've created a sample scss stylesheet and html layout. Here's the complete example on Sassmeister.
http://sassmeister.com/gist/a7ca98b7520b12bd6241
My question is whether the containing content div <div id="content"> is necessary? I'm having to use it with a clearfix mixin in order to 'pull' the div down and keep the footer below the content section and aside.
Is there another way to achieve this layout with Singularity, without having to use the surrounding clearfix div? Is there an option for grid-span in the main section that will either not use a float, or self clear this section?
To understand your problem you have to learn how floats and clearing work.
0.
When you float an element, it is removed from the flow. It's vertical height does not count when calculating the height of the container.
1.
The intended usage of floats is to add images to a long sheet of text. The text would wrap around the floated image and increase its overall height and stretching the container vertically, just like an object submerged into water increases the height of water surface.
Before:
After:
2.
If the floated image is located very close to the bottom of the text, it will pop it's bottom out of the bottom of the container, just like an iceberg exposing it's top from the water.
3.
Now imagine that your text is comprised of paragraphs and each paragraph starts with a title. When there's an image floated at the bottom of a paragraph, the image would stretch into the next paragraph, pushing the next paragraph's title aside.
4.
If you don't want that to happen, you apply clearing to paragraph titles:
h2 { clear: both; }
This basically tells the titles: don't let floated images push you aside, let them push you down instead.
5.
But web pages have become more than formatted text, and HTML/CSS didn't provide any means of formatting layouts. So we started using floats for layouts. It's ugly, it's like using wallpaper to sew your clothes, but we have no better option (until Flexbox becomes a thing, and it seems to already).
What happens when you float all content in a container? There will be no flow left, no text to stretch the container vertically, and it's height will be zero (plus border and padding):
6.
You already know that in order to make containers regain their height (wrap around the floated content) we have to apply a clearfix to the container. But what a clearfix actually is?
When you apply a clearfix to a container, you use :after in CSS to create an additional element within the container, after all it's content. Then you apply clearing to the little mother fcuker:
.container:after {
content: '';
display: block;
clear: both;
}
7.
Now back to your question! What's the alternative of using the clearfix?
You've probably have guessed already.
If you've got got content below the floated element, simply apply clear: both to the next element below the floated one! Just like we did in #4 for paragraph titles.
In your case:
footer { clear: both; }
And here's a demo: http://sassmeister.com/gist/df8af8a3c7f8d3df2796
I'm looking for a way to place text under my images and want to keep it there when changing browser size (if possible make text bigger and smaller when doing so, but not necessary). When I use a div around an image the other images seem to disappear.
This is the link to the site:

Thanx.
You can add a div around each image, give it a class like "image-container" and then in your css you set
.image-container {
display: inline-block;
}
I created a shape (a rectangle to be exact) and in this shape I wish to have an image overlapping its actual size (e.g the rectangle would be 400px by 400px and the image would be 600px by 600px).
Are there any ways of doing this? Here's a mockup of what I'm describing:
EDIT: To achieve this, simply use
z-index: 1;
position: absolute;
Thanks user acarlon.
I am not 100% sure what you are after, but it sounds like you want an image cropped to a container div.
What you want is overflow: hidden on the container div. See here for details.
You can also use clip. See here.
Update
Actually, it seems like you want one image to overlap another. In which case you want to use absolute positioning and z-index. See here.
I have an MVC 4 View where I am displaying a table of data. This table is rendered inside a <div> tag. What I would like to do is to display a background image that the div contents sit on top of. The image should comprise most, or all, of the div and be somewhat faint and subtle. In other words, it shouldn't stand out. It should almost look like a watermark. I don't have a lot of experience with MVC and HTML/CSS and am not sure how to do this.
I'm not sure what sort of image I should use (PNG, JPG?), or if it even matters and how to make it transparent enough to make it look subtle etc. I'm assuming CSS can handle much of this for me, just not sure where to start.
Oh it's easy. Give the div a class, eg:
<div class="table-wrapper">
At the end of the css file being used on your page, if their is one, write css like this:
.table-wrapper{
background-image: url(/path/to/image);
/* if the image repeats nicely, tile it, using background-repeat */
background-repeat: repeat; /* repeat-x, repeat-y and no-repeat are options */
/* alternatively, you could stretch it to fit the div, using background-size */
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
You shouldn't see much difference in size between a png or a jpg, as long as you don't use transparency. .pngs with transparency can get make a file big very quickly.
I suggest picking an image that matches the colour of the surrounding area quite closely. This way you can give the impression of a low-contrast or translucent image, without the file-size cost.
MediaWiki pictures can be set to a certain size with simple formatting.
However, tables will resize on the fly depending on the browser / screen size.
Can images be made to resize like tables?
(Images inside tables does not work!)
I had the same question and saw from the answers above (now they are below) that you cannot have several pics with different relative sizes. So I wrote a mediawiki extension allowing this: http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdaptiveThumb
Dynamic resizing as the browser is resized:
Put the next line at the begining of the css file: .\skins\common\shared.css
img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; width: auto\9; /* ie8 */ }
Each resizable image will be placed inside a <div></div>
<div>[[Image:MyImage.png]]</div>
Read more here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Images
You could set up a CSS hack.
Mediawiki allows you to include some variables like alt-text, including in that variable a special string such as w100 or resizeable will allow you to target the element with CSS:
img[alt=~w100] { width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; }
Do note that since you are using alt for things it's not meant to be used and !important in the CSS (because MW sets the size as an element style), this is to be avoided as much as possible and meant to be used as last resort.
In short, no, there is no easy way to do this. It could conceivably be done with a bunch of fiddly Javascript, but I'm not aware of anybody having tried this and the implementation would not be trivial.
The short answer is no. The long answer is that you would have to write JavaScript that can determine the user's screen resolution and store it in a cookie.. This would have to be done most likely in common.js so that with the exception of the one in a billion user that has never been to the site and manages to navigate directly to the page with the dynamically sized image (I hope you're not going to put something like that on your main page), that information will already be there when they get to the page. The page could then use those variables to set the size to be {{#expr:(File height * % of screen you want it to take)*(screen height)}}x{{#expr:(File width * % of screen you want it to take)*(screen width)}}px. The host of my wiki says he is in the process of writing a new extension that may be able to do that as part of a request for a <div style="overflow-x: scroll; width: {{#expr:(File width * % of screen you want it to take)*(screen width)}}px;"> section I want to make. If you find something else before me, please update this post so I can see it. Thanks. :D
