I'm using stylish to modify a website and I have this div full of text the needs to be moved upwards. The problem is the surrounding div has overflow-y:hidden to prevent text from flowing down the page. How can I allow overflow up but not down.
P.S. I know the css properties I used in the title don't exist, although if they did the style would already be done.
I needed to same, I found out you can just use clip, it's a very handy css property that isn't very much known. It does exactly what you want, you can shape the dimension of a div to your liking. With clip you for example can do something like
<div id="myBox" style="clip: rect(10px 100px 100px 10px);">This is some text to play with so you can see it is clipped.</div>

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 am not pro developer and have small knowledge of html and css only. I am trying to work on a joomla website. I tried to add Google charts to my page. Actually it's a module that I am inserting to an article through load module function. But there seems to have a conflict and the chart is not displayed correctly. It seems that there are some conflicts with the issues but I am not sure how to figure.
http://goo.gl/v1GVWk
if you go to above link and go to tabs and open trekking map tab you will see the bug. The width of chart is very small. I want to display 100% so that it can be responsive. I tried changing the width to px as well but no luck.
Please help me. ..
The width of elements that are hidden is zero. Therefore, the chart thinks your window has a width of zero and ends up using its smallest width.
Try triggering a resize event on the window when the tab is shown, this should cause the responsive code to run.
I never used Google charts, but what you are experiencing also happens on Google Maps.
You have two options, either you use opacity (or maybe visibility hidden) instead of display: none, this will make the chart to resize automatically when the page opens.
The other option is to trigger the resize event, something like this... Google chart redraw/scale with window resize
Hope it helps
Even though the outer wrapper div#ja-google-chart-wrapper-404 is set to 100% width, two child elements are fixed at 400px. Specifically, the <svg width="400"> element that sets the image at a fixed width, plus the div that wraps it has the width set to 400px. Even though you have their parent set to 100%, if the image itself has a fixed width it won't expand to fill the space.
Check to see if there's a setting in your module or in the Google Chart itself that lets you set a different width (or none at all) on the inserted image.
One solution would be to resize the SVG element when the a#tab1-trekking-map is clicked. I just tested this in the Chrome console and it worked to trigger the map to resize to the full width of the container:
jQuery("#ja-google-chart-wrapper-404 svg").resize();
Add this (or something like it) to your other scripts that are called when your tabs are clicked. If the ID of the chart wrapper is generated dynamically you may need to adjust a bit, but triggering resize() (as stated by Niet and miguelmpn) should do the trick nicely.
This question already has answers here:
CSS overflow-x: visible; and overflow-y: hidden; causing scrollbar issue
(9 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a div set to hide content with overflow-x and display (visible) content with overflow-y.
Unfortunately it's not working how I'd like it to. It adds vertical scroll bars - I assume this is because overflow-x and overflow-y don't function together.
As far as I'm aware if one overflow is set to hidden, the other gets set to auto.
Is there any other way around this? So I can have the overflow hidden horizontally and displayed (without a scroll) vertically?
Just so there's no confusion here's a fiddle to explain a little more: http://jsfiddle.net/kwnQk/
edit
Here is the actual issue I'm having: http://jsfiddle.net/kwnQk/1/
I have a select box, created from divs and jQuery, that ends up going over the div height, causing it to add scroll bars.
It's a shame the overflow function works the way it does because the div's overflow-x must be hidden, causing the div's overflow-y to be auto.
edit 2
Please see this new JSFiddle to show exactly why I need the overflow: http://jsfiddle.net/kwnQk/3/
It consists of sliders too, which need to be set to a certain width. And they cannot take up the entire height of the page so I have to limit their height, too.
I would think you can just leave the overflow property to visible and just use padding left and right.
Unless you have images, the text should just get wrapped.
For images, you should look at using children divs with width:100%
Can you try some jQuery scroll plugins for this?
http://manos.malihu.gr/tuts/jquery_custom_scrollbar.html
http://baijs.nl/tinyscrollbar/
http://www.net-kit.com/jquery-custom-scrollbar-plugins/
Try the jquery selectbox plugin, it's great and do exactly what you are trying to:
http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/branches/labs/selectmenu/index.html
Bad combination, unfortunately. From the documentation http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#overflow-x:
The computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’ are the same as their specified values, except that some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to ‘auto’.
I have the element like below which is nested within other divs.
'holder' contains content which is larger than it can display. But I want to restrict the content to be only inside of 'holder'. Otherwise when hold the mouse down and drag to the left/right border the content will be moved accordingly and this is not wanted.
So I apply the "overflow:hidden" style. But this only works horizontally not vertically. The content still overflowed downwards.
This is under IE8,9
Any ideas?
<div id="holder" style="background-color:white;"></div>
The issue solved with addition of "overflow:hidden;position:fixed" style.
without specifying "position:fixed" the container will be extended fully to accommodate the whole content. Setting "position:fixed" has no effect since the container already displayed everything.
It's not possible to set transparent background for WebBrowser of WP7. To make impression of transparent background I want to do the following workaround. I want:
To find a position and size of WebBrowser on the page.
To get page's background image.
Crop it with values what I found on step 1.
To save result in IsolatedStorage
To parse HTML and place <body background="RESULTBACKGROUND">
MyWebBrowser.NavigateToString(NewHtmlString);
I think this should be a workaround of transparent background and should work.
For now I am trying just to place any .jpg image (let's say test.jpg) on step 5.
But fail. I have "Build Action" property of file set to "Content". It is placed in the root of the project. And <body background="test.jpg"> not working. Back of the WebBrowser is still white.
What I am doing wrong?
UPD:
Step 5 is solved.
2Claus: No! Not only from web. I saved both html file and image file to IsolatedStorage and WebBrowser can show image as a backgroud.
Now the problem is that background cannot be fixed. I tried many differrent things with styles. I also tried to add a fixed div behind my text. Nothing works. The picture is always scrolling with a text. I tried to add onscroll event and pass it scrolled value to move the div in an opposite direction, but div is glued to the page :(
Any ideas?
So assuming you're talking about the WebBrowser control, you're forgetting that the HTML only can refer to urls on the world wide web.
So either you need to host your background images on a website, or you need to inject a CSS style that sets the background to either white or black (the two default background-colours of the platform).
For WebBrowser, You don't actually have to save it to the ISO to make changes on the page. You can load it navigate to it normally, and then use InvokeScript to make the changes via custom JS code. It can be a little tricky though, as you will probably need to heavily rely on the eval and stringization. The problem mentioned by Claus is still there - but you need to do some experiments. With the Mango release and SDK 7.1+, the platform support IsoltatedStorage imagesources in the form of is://path/file - maybe - maybe - maybe squared - the webbrowser's renderer udnerstands them too - then setting your bkg's url to such would work. I doubt though, as it could be seen as some minor security breach, etc
I now bumped into the same background fixed image problem. For someone wandering here I solved it placing content into a fixed-height container (div) therefore the container contents is being scrolled and not the html page, leaving background picture "fixed".
body
{
background-image:url('...');
background-position:-20px -150px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
div
{
height:300px;
overflow:scroll;
}
Of course background-position and div height is set specifically for a WebBrowser position in page and it's size.
