I have a long image that is currently serving as a navigation system for a site in development. You can see it here. This navigation system will eventually be split into smaller sections, but I imagine I may well see the same issues that I am seeing now.
The image is 1920px wide and the idea is that, however wide the user's browser window (up to 1920px), the navigation image (branch) will always extend off the screen. The leaves at the center of the navigation system should always be centred on the page to match the logo above.
The navigation DIV currently has the following CSS:
#nav {
position: absolute;
top: 210px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -960px;
}
The body has a min-width of 900px.
There are two issues I am having with this setup:
As you will see when you visit the page, the width of the browser page is being set by the right edge of the long image for the navigation system, when I would like it to be set to 100% when the width of the browser window is greater than 900px, and to 900px (with horizontal scrollbars) when the width of the browser window is less than 900px.
The navigation system isn't respecting the min-width of the body, i.e. it continues to move to the left even when the width of the browser window is less than 900px, whereas the rest of the page content doesn't.
Could someone help with these issues?
Thanks,
Nick
What I would do is
Cut out the middle part of the image (the one with the actual content).
Take out a slice from the line background that can be repeated infinitely. Like so:
Put the middle part of the image into a div that is 100% wide and has
background-image: url(/path/to/slice.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
that will give you an infinitely resizable navigation area, without needlessly expanding the page.

I'm using the new gatsby image plugin, and StaticImage. I have got a few images on the website, all works perfect normally beside one that only has the black background
(source of black, change the bg color attribute to red for example change the view to red)
The<picture> tag has 0X0 pixels
Another weird thing is the auto-created div container has a max-width of 47px, though the image is bigger than that (in all rest cases the max-width actually corresponds to the image dimensions)
relevant code
// js
<div className="advertising">
<StaticImage
className="advertising-img"
src="../images/advertising.png"
alt="advertising"
/>
//scss
.advertising {
position: relative;
margin: 123px 162px 150px 536px;
.advertising-img {
width: 260px;
height: 230px;
position: absolute;
left: -460px;
top: -15px;
}
page lookout (for understanding the CSS a little bit and show another picture that working..)
any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance! :)

The request to advertising image is blocked by the browser, as you can see by opening the dev tools.
In addition, the fact that is working on my mobile phone (screenshot below):
Makes me think that the image is blocked by the browser itself or by some extensions (AdBlock, etc) because of the name to avoid advertisers or publicity by default.
Try changing the name of the image or try disabling the extensions.
I'm having a problem on a website with Safari 7 (on OSX).
The website address is:
<Edit: Address not valid anymore. Sorry.>
If you click on vertical newsletter button, on the right edge of the content box, an overlay will pop-up.
This overlay looks good on most browser, but there is a problem with safari.
The overlay content is an absolutely positioned box of fixed width. It contains a div with the class "bg", which is a div with CSS position set to fixed and CSS top, right, bottom left set to 0.
The desired (and normally obtained) effect, is that this bg box sizes up to the width and height of the viewport. In safari, it just behaves as if it had it's position set to "absolute" - it just sizes up to the width and height of the container div.
Is this a known issue with Safari? Is there a bug filed? An update?
I could probably fix that by rewriting small parts of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript (if someone has an easier solution, you're welcome to share it!) but I'd like to understand what's happening at first.
I'm not sure what's going on with that positioning thing, but here was my approach to get the same result across the browsers:
#overlays .overlay { /* line 1081 */
...
width: 100%;
height:100%;
...
}
#overlays .overlay .content.text { /* line 1185 */
...
margin:0 auto;
...
}
You could use Z-index but Z-index is not reliable with position:fixed, as shown in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mZMkE/2/ use translateZ transformation instead.
transform:translateZ(1px);
on your page elements.
EDIT: In your code, Add this css:
.bla, .projects, .contact {
-webkit-transform:translateZ(1px);
-moz-transform:translateZ(1px);
-o-transform:translateZ(1px);
transform:translateZ(1px);
}
and then remove z-index refs from those elements and .intro.
Also You can try in other browsers as well
I want to accomplish a preview of an image gallery that is wider than the screen, using overflow: scroll (or auto).
To the right, a shadow that overlaps the last visible image should indicate that more images are visible to the right.
Here is a Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/SBdLg/
First, I thought: Easy, give that image gallery a box-shadow: inset. But that will be shown behind the images.
Now, with an overlapping div that has position: absolute, I reach the desired effect BUT the box-shadow also moves when scrolling to the right.
IMHO, this problem would also occur when using an image containing the shadow instead of the div on top.
Is the desired effect possible by CSS at all?
Removing position: relative from the outer DIV and positioning the shadow precisely where you need it (this is the ugly bit) will help you achieve this.
Check the demo: http://jsfiddle.net/SBdLg/11/

Click on the second button of the top menu ("Feste per bambini") and look at the links that appear on the orange stripe.
In IE10 and Chrome they are vertically in the center of the stripe as they should be, because the images are 42px (the same div of the container div).
In Firefox they are some px below where they should be.
Why?
The container div of the menu-top buttons is overlapped by the container div of the colored stripe (in this case the orange one).
The bottom div has the following properties:
{position:relative; top:-2px;}.
It seems that Firefox can't overlap the images of the links over the images of the buttons even if the two divs are overlapped.
Have you used a css reset? Browsers add padding and margins by default, but the problem is, they're all different. A simple css reset can be done with this code:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
There are more in-depth ones available on the web - this is one of the most commonly used ones - http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/.
I've got a really simple page which uses a photo as a full-screen background. I'm using the following to define it:
body {
background-image: url('../Images/Backgrounds/Hillside.jpg') ;
background-size: cover;
margin: 0px;
}
The image, obviously, takes a little while to load after changing page so I've implemented a noddy jQuery $.load() to update the content without the overhead of a full page reload.
Unfortunately, firefox seems to have an issue when the new content causes the length of the page to change. Firefox correctly realises that the scale of the background image has to change and repaints the page behind the content div appropriately - but doesn't repaint the rest of the page - hence it looks like 2 differently scaled images are overlaid.
Resizing the window or causing a repaint fixes it. Unfortunately, I can't take a screenshot as it never shows the problem - presumably it does a repaint behind the scenes.
To demonstrate the problem, visit the site, shrink your browser window so that content forces a scrollbar. Change URL using the menu. Look at the image behind the main content in comparison to the rest of the page (About us and Sample Ads are long pages, contact us/prices are short).
How can I force firefox to do a full repaint? I suppose I'm looking for the equivalent of WinForm's Me.Invalidate(). Is there a better way to do the background image?
NB: I've shrunk/degraded the photo to reduce file size but haven't spent a lot of time on it yet - I know it can be much better.
Edit:
Environment: FF9.0.1 Win7 Ultimate x64.
Steps to reproduce:
Browse here
Resize the window so that the white content area is just above the bottom of the browser window (Also, it's handy to make sure you can see some land in the background to make the effect more obvious)
Click on the "Sample Ads" link
Click back and forth between Sizes & Prices/Sample Ads
As you do so, you'll notice that anything to the right of the menu doesn't scale but the image under the menu/content does.
There are two solutions I got.
The first is simply on loading new content do the following:
document.body.backgroundSize = 'auto';
document.body.backgroundSize = 'cover';
Just tells it to recalculate the cover area.
The second is very hacky and literally just tells FF to reapply all the styles.
for(var ss = 0, len = document.styleSheets.length; ss < len; ss++) {
document.styleSheets[ss].disabled = true;
document.styleSheets[ss].disabled = false;
}
That said, I would also report this as a bug to FF (if you haven't already or if it does not exist in the system).
I see a problem which probably attributes to your issue. Add this to your stylehseet:
html, body {min-height:100%;}
You see, background-size:cover; is only covering the body's physical dimensions. Let's say your body is actually only 400px with its content, but your window has 1000px of height. The browser first applies background-size:cover; which it does so for the 400px tall body, then it sees there's 600px more of space in the window, and kindly applies the background further; in this case, tiling/repeating it. By giving the html/body a min-height of 100%, as above, your body will always fill the available height.
