okay so i want a div that has an absolute positioning with height and width at 100%, like when u click on a facebook photo, the div that the color is black, with an opacity or a rgba color that u can see tru .. the problem is that when i set it, it just take 100% of the sreen height, and when i scroll down the page it shows the end of the div...

<div style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);"></div>

how can i fix this, without giving it a fixed positioning or a specified height?
Also this happens with the width too, it just take 100% of the screen width

Thanks!

Hi again,

Hi albucurus, floating the div is not an option since i have floating element in my real page, it will end up beside another floating element... what im trying to do is not a body background, its something like this...

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Untitled 1</title>
    <style>
    #content {
        width:1100px;
        border:4px solid black;
        background:green;
        margin:0 auto;
        height:2000px;
        font-size:100px;
        color:red;
        text-align:center;
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="content"> This is my page 
        <div style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); ">
            <div style="position:relative;top:150px;font-size:16px;background:white;height:auto;width:600px;margin:0 auto;padding-bottom:40px;">
                <div style="width:100%;text-align:right;font-size:40px;"><b>[x]</b></div>
                <img src="http://www.online-image-editor.com/styles/2013/images/example_image.png"  />

        <div style="position:fixed;top:0;left:0;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); ">
            <div style="position:relative;top:150px;font-size:16px;background:white;height:auto;width:600px;margin:0 auto;padding-bottom:40px;">

Hi,
Move the white div after the fixed div, the fixed div become without content.
This worked for me:

<div id="content"> This is my page
       <div style="position:fixed; top:0px;left:0px; height:100%; width:100%; background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); ">
       </div>
       <div style="position: relative; top:150px;font-size:16px;background:white; height:auto; width:600px; margin:0 auto;padding-bottom:40px;">
                <div style="width:100%;text-align:right;font-size:40px;"><b>[x]</b></div>
                <img src="http://www.online-image-editor.com/styles/2013/images/example_image.png" />
</div>
