Content in my div goes beyond the width

I have created a <div> to put my main content into. I have given it a width of 810px. However when I type a really long line of text into the <div> then it is not autowrapping the text to the next line when it goes beyond a width of 810 px. What could be the problem? It even creates a horizontal scroll bar when I preview the long line in a web browser.
Here is the CSS for my content <div>
#outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content_bigbody {
float: left;
width: 810px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
min-height: 690px;
-moz-border-radius:8px;
-webkit-border-radius:8px;
border-radius:8px;
border-radius:8px;
box-shadow:5px 5px 5px #6d6e70;
padding: 10px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: 15px;

This might happen if you are typing in a long string of characters without any spaces.
For best results, use some Lorem ipsum (dummy text) in your content areas.

Extending div's across the width of the browser

I wan't to extend some div's across the width of the browser, for eg: background colors. My container has a max width, so its not straightforward. If I remove that constraint, I lose the ability to demonstrate the max width behavior, which I don't want either.

Yeah, the grid in reflow is really just a visual and snap aid, it doesn't have any implications except for the min/max width in relation to the breakpoints. We use a lot of full width background images which don't really snap to the area outside the grid unless they're set to body, but want full page or at least much wider than half a gutter (via show outer gutter) content images and bgs.
So it really depends on the min col grid you need and the hard 16 col limit is an issue for a grid that that has a higher common multiple for it's column variations. I.e. a 5 and 3 column design would need 15 for the content and 2 for the outside margin but that's over the limit.
For simplicity's sake we've moved to mostly 2-4 column designs which we can make work with a max 12+2 cols, but you have to figure out multiples that work out cleanly while maintaining a natural looking relationship of content to margins.
For that reason, and because of the platform on which we build most projects (NationBuilder) requiring a sidebar, we've gone heavily to 3,2,1 col layouts which we can break into just six layout cols.
But another workaround we're using is to flop the grid and gutters so that we have 7 gutters of 12% and 6 cols of 4%. The grid is largely just a visual aid so it doesn't seem to have any implications so far. The issue we were having was that the outside gutters are only half width which doesn't work for our designs which tend to have a lot of common match ups and lineups. In that case you have the larger gutters which have a central snap guide as well which you may be able to repurpose to many more cols if you can come up with a clean grid is a lot of experimentation or a spreadsheet, the only way we were able to calculate all our variables into nice round numbers…
The simplest fix though is probably a lifting of the arbitrary limit on number of columns. I saw on another thread the devs were willing to consider that, they just needed a solid usecase to do so. A grid that accounts for a design with both 4 and 5 columns in it would require at least 20 cols, and 2 extra on the outside would probably be pretty useful so a 24 col max should allow for almost all contingencies…

"Red eye correction" goes beyond the eyeball.

I'm using PSE 3.0, Windows XP Home. Occasionally, when I try to apply "red eye correction", the "darkening" effect is applied to areas of the cheeks, eye brow, or forehead (as well as the eye). My guess is: The subject's skin color or "cosmetic makeup color" is within the range of spectra that "red eye correction" is sensitive to and therefore interprets that it too, needs darkening. How can I "mask off" or otherwise prevent PSE from going beyond the eyes of the subject in it's quest to "eradicate red eye"?

Larry,
I only have PSE 2 so I don't know how the red eye correction tool works in PSE 3, but I'm guessing you can select just the eye (and maybe feather 1 or 2 pixels) before applying the tool.
You just might skip the red eye tool and do this instead:
- Zoom in to large eye.
- Select the red area and feather.
- Add a Hue/Saturation layer. Select Reds from the Edit menu, move Saturation slider left.

Can a div auto-detect the width of its contents?

By default, a div's width will extend as far as its container allows (100%) and we can restrict this by specifying width values. But I'm not looking to do either one. Instead, I'd like to know if there's a way to make a div adopt the width value of its contents dynamically?
In other words, wrap tightly around its contents, instead of expanding to fill whatever space allows.
<div>
<img src="image.jpg">
</div>
Where image.jpg is 200px wide and so is the div that's containing it.

Yes you can do it. You need to float the DIVs either left or right. The process of floating the div shrinks the div to fit the contents. Try it and let us know if this works in your case.
Good luck.

Libreoffice right-click context menu going beyond the end of the page

having a rather annoying issue with libreoffice 3.x (started with 3.5.x and still in 3.6.1): The right-click context menu goes over the screen borders when I am at the end of the page (instead of opening in the other direction so that all options are visible). I am running arch 64bit KDE 4.9.1. But I think in this case that's not relevant because we have a second computer, the same one basically with an extremely similar setup and there it works just fine. I did uninstall libreoffice, got rid of the .cache in the home folder, then reinstalled but the problem persists.
Anyone know how to fix this or hints on how to approach the problem?
Thx!
Captn

Update:
the problem was fixed with an update to KDE 4.9.2 but shortly after for some reason, it reappeared. As previously mentioned, I tried uninstalling libreoffice entirely, including the libreoffice .config folder. Here is what it looks like (second screen shot):
I noticed that this also happens with dolphin when I open it as root. Someone came across the same issue and fixed it?
Help's greatly appreciated
Captn
Edit: libreoffice version 3.6.1
Edit 2: Real Problem identified:
I just wanted to update this thread should there be others that, at one point or another, run into a similar problem. I won't be marking the thread as solved since I did not actually solve the problem (yet). However, I did identify the cause and therefore know how to circumvent it.
Since I didn't elaborate much on the specs / technical side, I have an HP pavilion with an Nvidia card and I am using the propretiary drivers. I set up a separate X screen for my TV and there is where the problem lies. It has worked for months but since recently this setup causes some weird graphical behavior (as in the above pictures) which can be annoying. If using the twinview setup or no external monitor, everything works normal. My guess is that plasma-desktop and the separate x screen don't work very well together for a reason unknown to me for the time being.
The problem itself can be annoying if you rely on libreoffice to work so I hope this might help somebody should there be annyone running into a similar issue.

My page goes beyond the fold, but no scrollbar? :S

Hi,
I have made a website in Flex, located at
http://www.theplaygrounds.co.uk/The_Playground.swf
Now this site is just a simple portfolio, but I have a lot
planned for it. What I was wondering is that when you go to the
contact page, you cannot see a submit button because that is below
the fold and requires scrolling. But in Flex, there is no scrollbar
in the browser. Why? If the site is a html document made in
Dreamweaver the browser would provide a scrollable scrollbar.
What do I have to do to enable the scrolling in the browser?
Or is there another way around this. I must be doing something
wrong because it can't be right for Flex to limit the page's size
to just the monitor's size.
Thanks in advance

I know that some components dont activate the scrollbar when
they oversize, try putting the component that is not making a
scroll bar inside a canvas and set the internal component to
width="100%" and height="100%"
If its the browswers scrollbar you want (note that this is
different from flex's scrollbar, and if yoru whole site is flex
youd be better off using the flex scrollbars) you will have to set
your width and height of your <Application> to something that
isnt a percentage.

In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

When tabs are on top options is on; if I click a link (which is set to open in new window by web site or addon) the new opened page's tabs goes beyond the screen limit. when i restore down and restore up the page it gets its normal form.

http://i55.tinypic.com/25jbejm.png ( this is the problem )
http://i55.tinypic.com/303k3kx.png ( this is how it should be)

I don't even know if that's possible, and I have so far not seen any unusual activity on the computer.
No, it's not even remotely possible. What you encountered was an attempt to scam you, and a pathetic one at that.
Identity theft in general is a significant threat to any computer (a term encompassing Macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones...) user. However, that threat most commonly arises in the form of "phishing" and you didn't play along with it. The likely reason the email appeared to have come from one of your previous eBay vendors is that his email address was harvested using any number of methods. The email probably didn't even originate with him. eBay is a rich source for obtaining such information.
eBay has a fairly helpful guide on the subject: http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/recognizing-spoof.html
To answer your specific questions:
Is there any malware or other harmful/malicious computer code--read, something that could steal my identity if/when I do my taxes online this year--currently known to be a threat to home non-business Mac computers?
No.
So, in summary: Should I be worried that I fell for some new (since 2013) method of unknowingly downloading malicious software to my Mac?
No — although Mac-targeted adware has arisen since that time and is a rapidly growing annoyance that can make using your Mac practically impossible, it will not directly cause information theft as you have described it concerns you. Furthermore, it requires your participation to install it in the form of an Admin name and password — and it requires deception to convince you to supply those credentials. Learn more about how that happens here: How to install adware.

How to increase the width & heigt of page in smart forms...

Dear abaper,
In smartform i have one problem,
the default page size is 20 cm ht & 20 cm width,. but i want to create 4 windows havehing

regards
veera

Hi,
Open the Smartform and click on FORM PAINTER.
A graphical window will appear displaying all the windows you have created.
These windows are going beyond the paper size. Resize them so that they would fit in the page. You can also extend the page by simply clicking & dragging the edge of the window.
Best regards,

How to capture a Safari webpage beyond the screen boundary?

While doing research, I make screenshots on OS X Safari very often. Many webpages go down beyond the screen. Is there any utility that can capture a whole webpage which goes beyond the height (or width) of the screen?

Hi there, I think the shortcut keys can help to do so. Cmd+Shift+4+Space bar will definitely capture the Safari webpage. If u tried it n still not working regarding the screen boundary, then u’d better read the tutorial first, it indicates the ways to do Mac OS X screen capture. Hope it helps.

Why is the div sitting at the bottom of the page?

Can anyone tell me why the div <div id="maindiv" class="maindiv_scroll"> is sitting at the bottom of the page?
http://www.milesfunerals.com/nafd.php

I have not tested this BUT most probably the scrollbar on the central <div> is making the width of the <div> wider than the space it has to fit itself into so the <div> is being thrown to the next available space, at the bottom of the construction. Below I have commented out the overflow: scroll; - see what effect it has, if any.
.maindiv_scroll {
    width:100%;
    max-width:812px;
    background-image: url(images/scrollbgnew.jpg);
    /* overflow:scroll; */
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    margin-left: 138px;
    height:1176px;
    border-top: 1px solid #F4ECC5;
I don't want to be the bringer of bad news (again) but you really are getting into a bit of a mess. This is largely down to excessive css. When it gets to that amount of css you should try breaking it down, ie you could put the mainnav css into its own linked css file and that gets that out of the way, making troubleshooting a bit less of a nightmare.
Also you are mixing fixed width with percenatge width. I don't have a lot of experience with that but it's not as easy as using all percentages or all fixed width. Obviously in this case you need the percentages as it's a responsive construction so why are you fixiing the left navigation and the right sidebar.
It would be better to set those as percentages and float all the <divs> left in my opinion.

How to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column?

Hi...is there a way to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column when the browser window is made smaller? It would be great if the middle (main content) column could get smaller instead of the sidebar moving under the text when the window is made smaller. I'm working with a fluid layout and this is the first time I've tried this. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the link to the website:

You should make your sidebar1 and sidebar2 fixed positioned. Make your content DIV fluid.

I need to write a Java script to make my Art board bigger by 1 (one) inch on the Width and Length, Regardless of the Content?

Hi,
I am currently using "Visible bounds" (java script)to add 1 inch to the width and to the Length of my Art board, but when i make a clipping mask it actually reads the hidden content from the Clipping mask and makes conforms my art board to that particular shape. Am using Adobe illustrator cs6 Here is My Code:
var myDocs = app.documents;
var i = 0;
for (i = myDocs.length-1 ; i >= 0; i--)
    var doc = myDocs[i];
    app.activeDocument= doc;
    var myVisibleBounds = doc.visibleBounds; //Rect, which is an array;
    myVisibleBounds[0] -= 36;
    myVisibleBounds[1] += 36;
    myVisibleBounds[2] += 36;
    myVisibleBounds[3] -= 36;
    doc.artboards[0].artboardRect = myVisibleBounds;
All i Want is to add 1 inch to my width and length and this does it but if i have a clipping mask it will pick up the bounding box i guess? and it will conform it to the shape... any help please... Try my code and you will see that it does add 1 inch but now make you artboard lest say 12" x 12" and make a shape bigger than the art board and you will see how it adds 1 inch to the art board based on that shape... now if you make a clipping mask to fit that shape in the 12" x 12" art board you will still get 1 inch bigger than the shape thats being clipped ...

yes, visible bounds is reading the non-visible masked objects too.
you're going to have to do it the hard way, loop through all your objects to get your bounds manually, and while you're at it, test for clipping masks and use the masking path instead.

Using Divs/Layers - am I going in the right direction?

Decided to give divs a try and get away from tables cause
everyone says I
should :-)
Teaching myself from scratch about them and just wanted
guidance on how it
is going so far.
I am trying to construct my template and have created one
test page.
http://www.mmmcommentaries.com/test/index.htm
I am creating the site by just setting up a div for each area
- main body,
menu, banner.
Is this the right way to do it or is there a better way? I
suppose I am
still thinking like a tables user in that I am setting up a
cell (div) for
each item.

If you remove this line -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
your page will render in Standards mode in IE, rather than
quirks mode. You
don't need that line currently, so it's safe to delete.
Your concern about the menu is well placed. Horizontal menus
always run the
risk of breaking when the text is resized in the browser.
Yours will too.
But, to spread things out a bit, you need to manage the
padding and the
width of the div#nav ul li a rule.
