I have been working on a self-project to duplicate the reddit page for javascript using the JSON data available. But am not able to replicate the behaviour of the original website in its header section, where the header is responsive (behaviour when screen size is decreased).
GIF : how the original website header section works.
The problem :
- Overlap the right side (Login page options) over the left hand side. The overlapping is such that the behind text is not shown. I have managed to do the overlapping, but since the background for the
divsaretranslucent, the behind text too shows. Can't think of any solution for this.
GIF : my header (behind text seen)
- The
navbar elementstranscend down when space is not enough. This is not how it is in the original, where they get hidden by themoreandLogin section. I cannot figure out how to go about having it in a single row.
GIF : my header (header elements move down)
A smaller, similar sample snippet :
.custom-header-full{ background: rgba(255,255,0,1); } /* Top */ .custom-top-header-container{ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); /* translucent */ position:absolute; top:0; width: 100%; } #top-right-div{ position: absolute; right: 0; z-index: 1000; }<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div class="navbar navbar-static-top custom-header-full"> <!-- TOPMOST header with Links and Login/Signup --> <div class="navbar-header custom-top-header-container"> <!-- Left side with various links --> <div id="top-left-div"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">MY SUBREDDITS ▼</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">POPULAR</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">ALL</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">RANDOM</a> </div> <!-- Login/Signup on the right --> <div id="top-right-div"> <span class="navbar-brand">Want to join? <a href="#">Log in or sign up</a> in seconds | <button class="glyphicon glyphicon-wrench tools-icon"></button> </span> </div> </div> </div>In case you want to check with the full project, the link on Github.
An interesting point to Note : in the header, the left sided titles are being overlapped by the right sided section. So it is a smooth transaction where the possibility is such that even partial of the text is seen in a title when overlapped. Basically its not a matter of making the title element invisible by width as that would make the whole title invisible.
Ex :
The title has
TODAYIL
The title has
TODAYILEARNED(whole of the title)

If you're able to use CSS flexbox, I think this solution works the way you want:
.custom-header-full{ background: rgba(255,255,0,1); } /* Top */ .custom-top-header-container{ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); /* translucent */ position:absolute; top:0; width: 100%; display: flex; } #top-left-div { flex: 1 1 0%; overflow: hidden; display: flex; white-space: nowrap; } #top-right-div{ flex: 0 0 auto; }<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div class="navbar navbar-static-top custom-header-full"> <!-- TOPMOST header with Links and Login/Signup --> <div class="navbar-header custom-top-header-container"> <!-- Left side with various links --> <div id="top-left-div"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">MY SUBREDDITS ▼</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">POPULAR</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">ALL</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">RANDOM</a> </div> <!-- Login/Signup on the right --> <div id="top-right-div"> <span class="navbar-brand">Want to join? <a href="#">Log in or sign up</a> in seconds | <button class="glyphicon glyphicon-wrench tools-icon"></button> </span> </div> </div> </div>What I did:
- Make
.custom-top-header-containerdisplay:flexto ensure the left and right display side-by-side. - Make
#top-right-divonly ever take up the space that its content needs (i.e. don't grow or shrink) - Make
#top-left-divfill whatever space remains in the container, and useoverflow:hiddento hide any content that might overlap with#top-right-divon small widths. - Set
#top-left-divtowhite-space: nowrapto prevent links with spaces (like "My Subreddits") from breaking onto multiple lines when the screen shrinks small enough.

I've managed to implement a pure-CSS solution without flex of what I assume you wanted to get.
I will highlight some of the changes I've made (the ones that don't directly pertain to the problem and could therefore be overlooked):
- Got rid of
.navbar,.navbar-static-top,.navbar-header,.custom-header-fulland.custom-top-header-container. Please find a way to overwrite their behaviour at your own time if you really need those classes. I can try to help if it proves too difficult. - Removed CAPS LOCK from source and substituted it with
text-transform: uppercase;inside the CSS file. This can really help in the future if one happens to fall asleep while adding a new navigation link. - Substituted "▼" with an HTML entity (
▼). Modern browsers normally don't care, but it's still good practice.
Here is a Fiddle of the end result. Let me know if you have any questions.

A little hack can help you I guess. Try doing these CSS changes :
#top-right-div { position: absolute; right: 0px; z-index: 1000; background: rgba(255,255,0,1); } And add background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); to the .navbar-brand under top-right-div in html.
This would create an illusion of what you are trying to achieve.
.custom-header-full{ background: rgba(255,255,0,1); } /* Top */ .custom-top-header-container{ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); /* translucent */ position:absolute; top:0; width: 100%; display: flex; } #top-left-div { flex: 1 1 0%; overflow: hidden; display: flex; white-space: nowrap; } #top-right-div{ flex: 0 0 auto; background: rgba(255,255,0,1); }<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div class="navbar navbar-static-top custom-header-full"> <!-- TOPMOST header with Links and Login/Signup --> <div class="navbar-header custom-top-header-container"> <!-- Left side with various links --> <div id="top-left-div"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">MY SUBREDDITS ▼</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">POPULAR</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">ALL</a> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">RANDOM</a> </div> <!-- Login/Signup on the right --> <div id="top-right-div"> <span class="navbar-brand" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);">Want to join? <a href="#">Log in or sign up</a> in seconds | <button class="glyphicon glyphicon-wrench tools-icon"></button> </span> </div> </div> </div>Answers 4
for Overlap you can use this style:
.custom-header-full{ background: rgba(255,255,0,1); } /* Top */ .custom-top-header-container{ background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); position:absolute; top:0; width: 100%; } #top-right-div { width: 45%; float: left; } #top-left-div { display: inline-block; width: 53%; float: left; } Like :demo
and other device you can use media queries Like :
@media (min-width:0px) and (max-width:799px) { add style } write style according to device.
i thing it's helpful for you.

To handle the stretching issues. Try to inspect the website using responsive option
Then you can know the dimension of the screen when the texts are overlapping or the navigation bar is two line high
So at last you can add your media query to create differences from the desktop website. In case it's 450px
@media only screen and (max-width: 450px) { /* Add your css specification here. */ }
