css: set image-width inside of paragraph with specific width? - image

hey guys,
somehow i can't find the solution for my little problem.
i have a paragraph setting with a max-width of 630px.
in some cases i have images within one of those paragraphs - and in this case i want the image to act normal -> without any max-width setting.
.post-body p {
width:99%;
max-width: 630px;
}
.post-body p img{
max-width:100% !important;
}
is it even possible to have the image larger than the max-width setting that's set to it's parent? do i need to use javascript (jquery)?
thank you for your help.

Unless you're modifying the image width some other way, as long as you don't do anything to the image it will display at full size.
See here: http://jsfiddle.net/WrfQQ/
I didn't bother declaring any CSS for the image, so it, by default, will show up at full size. (Please note, for the sake of testing I decreased the width of the p to 100px)

As I can see the problem is that you put a MAX-width to the img... you have to code the relative width... so:
.post-body p img{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
if you want it in jQuery the code is the below:
$('.post-body p img').width() == $('.post-body p').width();

Width on Magento go category page not resizing properly

Can anyone please help? My category page is seriously messing with me. I set the image width to 300px which it accepts. However it doesn't accept me changing the size of the grid. So basically, It shows as much of the 300px that it can fit into the grid and slices my images in vertically.
http://www.ellamatthew.com/dresses
.products-grid li.item {width: 300px;}
.products-grid .product-image { display:block; text-decoration:none !important; margin:0 auto 10px; position:relative; width:300px; }
Is there anything else here I should be changing? Any help here would be very useful.
Thanks
first of all your div
.col2-right-layout .products-grid li.item, .col2-left-layout .products-grid li.item
is not content width:300px; it is 160px
second major problem is with your images width it contents white space from both left and right side so it is display like this disturb alignment.
i would suggest you to remove white space or make 300px box for product so you can adjust it in your layout.
let me know if i can help you more.

Making all photos square via css

I'm trying to make a series of photos into square photos. They may be rectangular horizontally (i.e. 600x400) or vertically (400x600), but I want to get them to be 175x175 either way. My thought was to max-height or max-width the smaller side, and not allow overflow beyond 175px on the larger side...however, I'm having problems with it.
Is this possible with css?
Below is my attempt, but it giving rectangles still:
<div style="min-height:175px; overflow:hidden; max-height:175px;">
<img style="min-width:175px; overflow:hidden; max-height:175px;" src="/photo.png">
</div>
You can set the width/height of the parent div then set the child img tag to width:100%; height: auto;
That will scale the image down to try to fit the parent with aspect ratio in mind.
You can also set the image as a background-image on the div
Then if you can use css3 you can mess with the background-size property.
It's attributes are: contain, cover, or a specificed height (50%, 50%) (175px, 175px)
You could also try to center the picture with background-position
<div style="background-image:url(some.png); background-size: cover; background-position: 50%">
Here's an up to date and simple answer.
For instance, if you want a squared image inside of a container.
Let's say you want the image to take 100% of the container height and have a dynamic width equal to the height:
.container {
height: 500px; /* any fixed value for the parent */
}
.img {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
aspect-ratio: 1; /* will make width equal to height (500px container) */
object-fit: cover; /* use the one you need */
}
You can switch width and height values (container & image) if you want to base the 100% on the container's width and have a computed height equal to the width.
You can use object-fit, which is widely supported in all major browsers. When set to cover, the browser will crop the image when you set the width and height properties, rather the stretching it.
<img src="whatever.jpg">
img {
width: 175px;
height: 175px;
object-fit: cover;
}
Okay I got this.
Don't know if it's too late or what, but I've come up with a 100% pure CSS way of creating square thumbnails. It's something that I've been trying to find a solution for for quite a while and have had no luck. With some experimentation, I've got it working. The main two attributes to use are OVERFLOW:HIDDEN and WIDTH/HEIGHT:AUTO.
Okay here's what to do:
Let's say you have a batch of images of varying shapes and sizes, some landscape, some portrait, but all, of course, rectangular. The first thing to do is categorize the image links (thumbnails) by either portrait or landscape, using a class selector. Okay, so let's say you want just to create two thumbnails, to make this simpler. you have:
img1.jpg (portrait) and
img2.jpg (landscape)
For HTML it would look like this:
<a class="portrait" href="yoursite/yourimages/img1.jpg"><img src="yoursite/yourimages/img1.jpg /></a>
<a class="landscape" href="yoursite/yourimages/img2.jpg"><img src="yoursite/yourimages/img2.jpg /></a>
So, at this point since there is no css yet, the above code would give you your full-sized image as a thumbnail which would link to the same full-sized image. Right, so here's the css for both portrait and landscape. There are two declarations for each (the link and the link's image):
.landscape {
float:left;
width:175px;
height:175px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.landscape img{
width:auto;
height: 175px;
}
.portrait {
float:left;
width:175px;
height:175px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.portrait img {
width:175px; <-- notice these
height: auto; <-- have switched
}
The most important things are the width and height and the overflow:hidden. Float left isn't necessary for this to work.
In the landscape thumbnail declaration (.landscape) the bounding box is set to 175 x 175 and the overflow is set to hidden. That means that any visual information larger than that containing 175px square will be hidden from view.
For the landscape image declaration (.landscape img), the height is fixed at 175px, which resizes the original height and the width is set to auto, which resizes the original width, but only to the point of relating to the bounding square, which in this case is 175px. So rather than smush the width down into the square, it simply fills the square and then any extra visual information in the width (i.e. the overflow) is hidden with the overflow:hidden.
It works the same way for portrait, only that the width and height is switched, where height is auto and width is 175px. Basically in each case, whatever dimension exceeds the other is set to auto, because naturally the larger dimension would be the one that would overflow outside of the set thumbnail dimensions (175px x 175x).
And if you want to add margins between thumbs, for instance a 5px white margin, you can use the border property, otherwise there will be no margin where the information is overflowing.
Hope this makes sense.
Determine width and height of image, then active portrait or landscape class of the image. If portrait do {height:175px; width:auto}. If landscape, reverse height and width.
I highly suggestion the NailThumb jquery plugin for anyone that is looking to do this. It allows you to create square thumbnails without distortion. http://www.garralab.com/nailthumb.php
This might help.
CSS:
.image{
-moz-border-radius: 30px; /* FF1+ */
-webkit-border-radius: 30px; /* Saf3-4 */
border-radius: 30px; /* Opera 10.5, IE 9, Saf5, Chrome */
}
HTML:
<div class="image"></div>
This worked for me. Just put the URL to the image inside the div.

Transparent Background Image with a Gradient

Today I was designing a transparent PNG background that would only sit in the top left of a div, and the rest of the div would maintain a gradient background for all transparent areas of the PNG, and the rest of the div itself.
It might be better to explain through the code I thought might work:
#mydiv .isawesome {
/* Basic color for old browsers, and a small image that sits in the top left corner of the div */
background: #B1B8BD url('../images/sidebar_angle.png') 0 0 no-repeat;
/* The gradient I would like to have applied to the whole div, behind the PNG mentioned above */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ADB2B6 0%, #ABAEB3 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ADB2B6), color-stop(100%,#ABAEB3));
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ADB2B6', endColorstr='#ABAEB3',GradientType=0 );
}
What I've been finding is that most browsers pick one or the other - most choosing the gradient since its further down the CSS file.
I know some of the guys around here will say "just apply the gradient to the PNG you're making" - but thats not ideal because the div will maintain a dynamic height - sometimes being very short, sometimes being very tall. I know this gradient isn't essential but I thought it might be worth asking y'all what you thought.
Is it possible to have a background image, while keeping the rest of the background as a gradient?
Keep in mind that a CSS gradient is actually an image value, not a color value as some might expect. Therefore, it corresponds to background-image specifically, and not background-color, or the entire background shorthand.
Essentially, what you're really trying to do is layering two background images: a bitmap image over a gradient. To do this, you specify both of them in the same declaration, separating them using a comma. Specify the image first, followed by the gradient. If you specify a background color, that color will always be painted underneath the bottom-most image, which means a gradient will cover it just fine, and it will work even in the case of a fallback.
Because you're including vendor prefixes, you will need to do this once for every prefix, once for prefixless, and once for fallback (without the gradient). To avoid having to repeat the other values, use the longhand properties1 instead of the background shorthand:
#mydiv .isawesome {
background-color: #B1B8BD;
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/* Fallback */
background-image: url('../images/sidebar_angle.png');
/* CSS gradients */
background-image: url('../images/sidebar_angle.png'),
-moz-linear-gradient(top, #ADB2B6 0%, #ABAEB3 100%);
background-image: url('../images/sidebar_angle.png'),
-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #ADB2B6), color-stop(100%, #ABAEB3));
background-image: url('../images/sidebar_angle.png'),
linear-gradient(to bottom, #ADB2B6, #ABAEB3);
/* IE */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ADB2B6', endColorstr='#ABAEB3', GradientType=0);
}
Unfortunately this doesn't work correctly in IE as it uses filter for the gradient, which it always paints over the background.
To work around IE's issue you can place the filter and the background image in separate elements. That would obviate the power of CSS3 multiple backgrounds, though, since you can just do layering for all browsers, but that's a trade-off you'll have to make. If you don't need to support versions of IE that don't implement standardized CSS gradients, you have nothing to worry about.
1 Technically, the background-position and background-repeat declarations apply to both layers here because the gaps are filled in by repeating the values instead of clamped, but since background-position is its initial value and background-repeat doesn't matter for a gradient covering the entire element, it doesn't matter too much. The details of how layered background declarations are handled can be found here.
You can use Transparency and gradients. Gradients support transparency. You can use this, for example, when stacking multiple backgrounds, to create fading effects on background images.
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255,255,255,0) 20%,
rgba(255,255,255,1)), url(http://foo.com/image.jpg);
The order of the image and gradient is very KEY here, i want to make that clear. The gradient/image combo works best like this...
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, top, rgba(0,0,0,0.5), rgba(200,20,200,0.5)), url('../images/plus.png');
background-image will also work...
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, top, rgba(0,0,0,0.5), rgba(200,20,200,0.5)), url('../images/plus.png');
the gradient needs to come first... to go on top. The absolute key here though is that the gradient uses at least 1 RGBA color... the color(s) need to be transparent to let the image come through. (rgba(20,20,20,***0.5***)). putting the gradient first in you css places the gradient on top of the image, so the lower the alpha setting on you RGBAs the more you see the image.
Now on the other hand if you use the reverse order the PNG needs to have transparent properties, just like the gradient, to let the gradient shine through. The image goes on top so your PNG needs to be saved as a 24 bit in photoshop with alpha areas... or a 32 bit in fireworks with alpha areas (or a gif i guess... barf), so you can see the gradient underneath. In this case the gradient can use HEX RGB or RGBA.
The key difference here is the look. The image will be much more vibrant when on top. When underneath you have the ability to tune the RGBA values in the browser to get the desired effect... instead of editing and saving back and forth from your image editing software.
Hope this helps, excuse my over simplification.
This is possible using multiple background syntax:
.example3 {
background-image: url(../images/plus.png), -moz-linear-gradient(top, #cbe3ba, #a6cc8b);
background-image: url(../images/plus.png), -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#cbe3ba), to(#a6cc8b));
}

Transparent images are not yet a CSS standard, yet they are supported by most modern browsers. However, this is part of the W3C CSS3 recommendation. Implementation varies from one client to another, so you will have to use more than one syntax for cross-browser compatibility.

How do I disable horizontal scrollbar in jScrollPane (JQuery)?

Can you guys please let me know what is the best way to disable the horiontal scroll bar?
I have div with width: 100% and height :280px. When we have long continuous text (without any spaces), we are getting a horizontal scrollbar displayed.
Btw I am using jscrollPane.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What I have found in jScrollPane - settings object documentation:
contentWidth - int (default undefined)
The width of the content of the scroll pane. The default value of
undefined will allow jScrollPane to calculate the width of it's
content. However, in some cases you will want to disable this (e.g. to
prevent horizontal scrolling or where the calculation of the size of
the content doesn't return reliable results)
So to get rid of horizontal bars, just set content width lower than the container width.
Example:
$('#element').jScrollPane({
contentWidth: '0px'
});
The answer from SÅ‚awek Wala (contentWidth: '0px') is a really magic wand :)
In IE8 unnecessary horisontal scrollbar appears often upon elastic containers. But that's only part of the trouble: when horisontal scrollbar appears the content overflows through both vertical gutter and scrollbar.
So, if one disables horisontal scrollbar just making it invisible (as the other answers suggest) then the second part of the trouble remains.
contentWidth: '0px' fixes the both symptoms.
However, knowncitizen was right, '0px' does something weird with the jScrollPane because contentWidth is an integer property (btw contentWidth: 'foo' gives us the same pretty result ).
To avoid unpredictable effects one can use any positive but small enough number like this: contentWidth: 1
This is quite outdated question. But in case someone has same issue as you and I:
as I haven't found any property or API call to achieve this, I used simple solution - disabled via CSS:
.jspHorizontalBar { display: none !important; }
Not very elegant way, but saved time of investigating or 'hacking' jScrollPane code.
Pass horizontalDragMaxWidth: 0 to the options.
None of the solutions worked for me here so here's what I did using nested divs:
JS
$('#scrollpane').jScrollPane();
HTML
<div id="scrollpane" style="max-height: 400px; width: 700px">
<div style="overflow:hidden; width: 650px">
Your long content will be clipped after 650px
</div>
</div>
I was able to accomplish this using CSS.
Since the parent should have the class horizontal-only, when we only want a horizontal bar, I added the class jspVerticalBar as a child so that when it appears ONLY under the horizontal-only class, it will not display it.
It will still work if you have set the vertical and horizontal on the same page.
div.horizontal-only .jspVerticalBar { display:none; }
After trying and failing with the other answers, we had to hack jScrollPane to make this work. In jquery.jscrollpane.js, line 171:
pane.css('overflow', 'auto');
// Hack: Combat size weirdness with long unbreakable lines.
pane.css('position', 'static');
// End hack
if (s.contentWidth) {
contentWidth = s.contentWidth;
} else {
contentWidth = pane[0].scrollWidth;
}
contentHeight = pane[0].scrollHeight;
// Hack: Continued.
pane.css('position', 'absolute');
// End hack
pane.css('overflow', '');
Not sure how safe it is but that works for us.
For me, the best solution was in to add left: 0 !important; for classes .customSelect and .jspPane in the CSS:
.customSelect .jspPane {
overflow-x: hidden;
left: 0 !important;
}

Using CSS max-height on an outer div to force scroll on an inner-div

I have an outer div with a variable height (and max-height) that's set with a specific pixel amount by JavaScript, containing two divs within.
The 1st div is intended to hold a variable amount of content, e.g. a list of links. It has no height set.
The 2nd div is intended to hold a fixed amount of content, and has a specific height set.
Right now, the max-height isn't working. The 1st div keeps growing, even with overflow: auto; set, and pushes the 2nd div below it outside the bounds of the outer div. How can I make it so that when the 1st div gets too large for the outer div to contain both it and the fixed-height 2nd div, the 1st div will start to scroll?
Example page: http://thevastdesign.com/scrollTest.html
Thanks for any help. I'd appreciate a CSS solution the most, even if it requires some hacks. It only has to work in Firefox 3+, IE8, and IE7.
Ideas?
You cant really do that without JS. Your max-height on the outer-div isnt going to control the height of one of your inner divs to invoke its scrolling. That inner div is always going to be the height you set (pixels, auto, etc..). You can either make the entire outer div scroll as needed by using overflow: auto or you can set a max height on the first inner div and set the overflow.
Given your setup, I would do the following (class names are implied by your question, not taken from the linked source):
div.outer {
position: relative;
max-height: $length(y);
overflow: hidden;
}
div.innerFixed {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: $length(y);
overflow: hidden; /* just in case, to keep things from
blowing out into all manner of crazy */
}
div.innerFlex {
max-height: $length(y);
overflow: auto;
}
These rules don't address box properties, which will have an impact on the height values that you apply. The combined height values (with box values included) of .innerFixed and .innerFlex should equal the height value of the container.
If you want to get all Zen and flip the vertical composition, you do that by swapping bottom for top on .innerFixed and assigning margin-top or padding-top to .innerFlex.
Something else I noticed is that you've got
div.outer { float: left; }
...But given what you need from that element (and to set the right content priority) I would instead suggest that you put your big column first in the source order and apply
div.mainContent {
float: right;
width: $length(x);
}
div.outer { /* i.e., the column that started the discussion */
margin-right: length(x);
}
with the understanding that the margin-right of the latter is somewhat greater than the width of the former (greater to account for the gutter between the two elements). Try it, you'll like it.
