Xpages OneUI 2.1 lotusColLeft: possible to make height same as lotusContent? - xpages

I am unsing the application layout in an application where there is no footer. Is there a way to get the lotusColLeft (or/and lotusColRight) to be the same length as the lotusContent div? The users are complaining a bit on the fact that the left menu's background color doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the page.

You can use Firebug or some other CS debugger to see the CSS for the left pane and the content pane and see if you can tweak the CSS (maybe try 100% for the height).
You may end up having to get the height of the content div and then set the left div to the same height in CSJS onClientLoad. You will also have to use the same code in a window resize event in case the user changes the browser window size.

OK, here is how I finally made this happen: I used a background image. Not ideal, I agree, but less problemeatic than the original solution (at the bottom of this answer):
.lotusContent {
background: url(leftColBkgd.png) repeat-y;
}
.lotusColLeft {
background-color: grey;
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
}
.lotusMain .lotusContent {
padding-left: 230px;
}
Original solution:
.lotusColLeft {
background-color: grey;
min-height:2048px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
}
.lotusMain .lotusContent {
padding-left: 230px;
}

How to increase the size (thickness) of a vaadin progressbar

How am i able to increase the height(thickness) of a vaadin progressbar- 7.6.3. And also how can i display the values which are progressed. For example in the middle of a progressbar showing how much is done and how much is remaining. I have tried with the following code but it is always the default size.
_progress.setWidth("100%");
_progress.setHeight("100%");
and also i tired using css, something like,
_progress.setCaption(" ");
_progress.setCaptionAsHtml(true);
_progress.addstylename("progress");
where ".progress" i have defined in my .css with
.progress1 {
color: black;
text-align: right;
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: bold;
height: 100%;
}
Instead of defining a style just for your progress bar, you have to include the wrapper to your style rule.
.v-progressbar-fat .v-progressbar-wrapper {
height: 20px;
}
If you add this to your style sheet and apply the style name "fat" to your progress bar, it's height will be changed to 20px (Or whatever amount you wish)

sharepoint branding : page width size due to _spBodyOnLoadWrapper() function

i'm trying to make up a different look and feel on my sharepoint site. I try to make my main content's width down to 960px under my form tag in sharepoitn designer. when I refresh the page at the first it renders the main content down to 960px but when the page fishished loading the main content stretches itself to the whole screen's width.
I found out that it's because of the onload script running in body tag. but I caanot remove this script because this work has side effects on page functionality.
the function is _spBodyOnLoadWrapper().
does anyone know this function ? or does anyone know how to come up with this problem ?
UPDATE #1:
My css code is as follows.. I added this class to the main Form on master page:
.mainContent
{
width: 960px;
height:100% !important;
min-height:100% !important;
padding-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
direction:rtl;
}
UPDATE #2:
I use v4.master template.
I have taken the ribbon out of the form tag. it's directly after body tag. because I wanted the ribbon to be streched at the top. but when i add this line of code
<body onload="if (typeof(_spBodyOnLoadWrapper) != 'undefined') _spBodyOnLoadWrapper();">
the mainContent blows up. something at the header streches in the whole width and some panels at bottom remains 960px.
you got me interested so I recreated your issue. By default, the javascript will try to inline the width based on its calculations.
However, what you need is to set the class s4-notsetwidth on a wrapping container.
Here is what i did to fix your issue
Add this to the head
<style type="text/css">
#s4-bodyContainer {
width: 960px;
height:100% !important;
min-height:100% !important;
padding-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
/* Aligns the Top Bars */
.ms-cui-ribbonTopBars {
width: 960px!important;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
/* Turns off the border on the bottom of the tabs */
.ms-cui-ribbonTopBars > div {
border-bottom:1px solid transparent !important;
}
</style>
Then locate the s4-workspace (that's the immediate parent of #s4-bodyContainer and add class s4-nosetwidth. That should work for you.
Use these two references to achieve exactly what you want (not sure if you want ribbon aligned or not), Randy Drisgill post and Tom Wilson's post.

Horizontal Scrolling Website with a fixed sidebar and footer scrolls under the sidebar

My content scrolls beneath the left sidebar instead of disappearing when it reaches the sidebar. Both the left sidebar and the bottom footer are fixed.
http://karpouzaki.com/finaltouch/
Any suggestions?
You need to change your background from transparent to opaque. Add these styles:
#sidebar {
background: url(../img/bg.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
height: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
#footer {
z-index: 2;
}
That should do it - it gives your sidebar the same image background, but it looks like it flows fine into the rest of the page. It extends the height of your sidebar so that the rest of the content scrolls "beneath" it. And the z-index changes cause the sidebar to be above the content but below the footer.

Set google map canvas width 100% minus sidebar width?

I'm trying to display a sidebar on the left side of a google map. The sidebar width is 380px and I need the map canvas div to take up the remaining width but I have no luck so far accomplishing this.
The map div must have width and height declared, otherwise it doesn't work.
I was trying to find a width 100% minus X pixels solution but no of them is working in this case.
Does anyone has an idea how to do it?
Thanks.
I tried this, but it looks that it doesn't apply to the map canvas div:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).width();
$(document).width();
var width1 = $(document).width();
var width2 = $("#left").width();
var canvas_width = width1 – width2 + "px";
$('#map_canvas').width = canvas_width;
});
I had exactly the same problem, but managed to fix it.
For example, if your sidebar div is 200px wide set an extra div container around the div in which Google Maps writes its content.
For that div-container set
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
right: 0;
height: 100%
Works like a charm, also when resizing. Let me know if this solution doesn't match your situation.
I am doing this (also sidebar + GM) with relative width and min-widths. I can toggle the sidebar visible / invisible. In order to save the original values see: Getting values of global stylesheet in jQuery ).
Btw, I think you assignment in js is wrong, it should be element.**style**.width or in jQuery $("#id").width(value):

How to achieve a hover effect for an image button?

How can I get an image button with hover effect? I have two button images one is simple and the other one is for the hover?
You can easily do it in CSS.
input[type='button']:hover
{
color: #00a;
//or background-image: url("url");
}
You can do it easily with css by using a sprite image and moving the background image depending if its hovered or not.
css:
a { display:block; width: 80px; height: 40px; background: url(bgImage.png) top;
a:hover { background: url(bgImage.png) bottom; }
You have to combine your "simple" and "hover" image into a single image for this to work.
