How to set fancybox height and width identical?

Can I use max-width and min-width with position:fixed?

  • i am trying to create a dynamic layout with position:fixed but its seems that when i use position:fixed, min-width and max-width doesn't behave correctly. I know that when i set position:fixed the element (div) is taken out of the normal flow of the document. My question is, how can i make it work without Javascript or Jquery? if it possible. here is my HTML Code:  <div class="container">    <div class="leftbar"></div>    <div class="rightbox"></div>  </div> STYLE .container {     position:fixed;     min-width:1000px;     max-width:2000px;     height:600px; } .leftbar {     position:relative;     width:300px;     border: 2px solid red;     height:600px;     float:left; } .rightbox {     position:relative;     min-width:700px;     max-width:1700px;     border: 4px solid green;     height:600px;     margin-left:306px; }

  • Answer:

    You don't have to use min-width property. Instead simply try the width property since it is same as minimum width as you are specifying the max.

I’m not quite sure why you expect here. `min-width` and `max-width` work fine with `position:fixed` but your container is not styled in a way that it would expand or shrink depending on its containing block (i.e. width in `%` or `left` and `right` values). So it is just using the style you have assigned to it, which matches the total width or inner boxes.Note that the content of a box styled with `position:fixed` may not be reachable as the browser will not allow users to scroll to it (if it is outside of the viewport). May be you want to use `position:absolute` instead?As a side note, you may want to learn a few CSS basics as your styles show some lack of understanding of how layout works.
