Using Elementor, how can I wrap text around other elements? - wordpress

I'm looking for a way I can have the text in one column wrap around other elements to overflow into other columns. Is this possible?
Here's an image of the page to illustrate what I mean.
What I would like is for the text to extend its width to both columns after the image. The image is a known height and width.
If it's not possible using Elementor/Wordpress, advice on how to do it with HTML would also work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

You don't want to use columns. You want to use css float property.
Edit: I am not sure with elementor specifically, but most builders and the built-in WYSIWYG allow to to set float on images without having to use CSS yourself. But if you need to the property is:
.specific-image {
float: right;
}
Note that this could cause some weird alignment with the image and the title text. Might need to also adjust the margin on the image.

Why is there a vertical gap between adjacent divs when selecting text?

I'm making a rich text editor which is like a clone of Google Docs. For reasons I won't get into here, each line in the text editor is wrapped into its own div container. For example, if there's 3 lines of text, there will be 3 child "line nodes" (rendered as an unstyled div) in the text editor. And within each line node there are inline span elements to control styling such as Bold, Italic, etc.
The issue I'm having is I can't understand why there is an unsightly vertical gap of whitespace between each line when selecting text over multiple lines. I am using Draft.js for this, but from what I can see it shouldn't make a difference; there's no styling or margins applied. I've even tried making every line div and its span elements exactly the same height but the problem persists.
My guess is this is caused by some native browser behaviour. All I really care about though is: can I "fix" it? I mean, I know it's possible because Google Docs doesn't have this spacing issue when selecting text... But then again it uses a completely custom rendering engine with custom cursors too. Thanks for any suggestions
edit: so a temporary workaround I've found (see image below) is to reduce the height of each div and span to a fixed value (in this case, height: 16.4px). But for obvious reasons, this isn't an ideal solution. I'm still looking for a "proper" way to implement whatever styling I want and not have these gaps appear between adjacent divs when selecting text
I believe your talking about line-height in which you can control the space between two elements / texts.
Try it out below:
div {
line-height:100px;
}
<div>Hello World!</div>
<div>How are ya?</div>
Thank you for all the suggestions. Turns out this is quite a challenging issue and there's very little (if anything) that can be done with pure CSS. Only the height attribute of div or span elements appear to have any visible impact on text selection. Inspecting the Google Docs elements reveals they use their own custom selection engine:
Closing this because I at least know how a solution might be implemented now, even if it would be very complex and time-consuming. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Responsive element transition

Hi I don't know how to solve this...
I want the element marked with a red rectangle in the images to move depending on the size of the screen ALIGNED to the containers below ALL THE TIME. I'm making a responsive website with the different media screen instances but I want to be sure that this element keeps in the same alignment all the time. How do I do that? No JS please.

since you haven't provided any code for what you have so far its difficult to help you. However, I think I understand what you need and you need to specify some width constraints to accomplish this:
you will need a container inside the header that will have the same width as the content below. Here is a working fiddle
css {
width: X%;
}

Resize <div> automatically based on text?

I've got the following JS Fiddle to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish:
http://jsfiddle.net/sVKU8/2/
1) I assume this first part is easy - Is there a way to update the parent label class to automatically have it's width set based on the total width of the two child <div>s so the border only wraps around the green and red <div>s? I thought setting width: auto was supposed to do that, but my CSS skills are apparently lacking.
2) What I'd like to accomplish next would be to remove the width attribute from my label-text class and have the width set (or grow automatically, if possible) whenever I apply text to that <div> via JavaScript without text wrapping (i.e. keeping the original height of the label class).
I wasn't sure if I needed to try to calculate the width based on the actual text, or if there is a way to just apply the text with a width setting that will allow it to grow.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Add this property to your css :
.based-on-text{
display: inline-block;
}
This way, the div will act like a block but will have exactly the width it needs instead of taking the whole parent level width !

CSS alternative without additional JS using traditional floating elements approach
This fiddle (Click HERE) shows using inline-block on the div text-label and a little JS to set the width on the outer box with the border.
This is the javascript. Pretty ugly. There's probably a better way:
$(".label").css("width",
parseFloat( $(".label-image").css("width"))
+ parseFloat( $(".label-text").css("width"))
);

Multicolumn Table height

I have a height issue. I'm working with this table. - enter link description here
I'm trying to get the table to shrink in height. Its way to high length wise.
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Do you see where the crystal image is? I want that row to be lowered in height. I've tried everything to get it to work, but I cant figure it out.
It needs work. Centering text etc.
There are ASP.NET sessions being included within the table.
The text-inputs all the way on the right are forcing the cells on the left to expand to their height. The only way to make the other cells "shorter" is to reduce the number of text-inputs on the right (or to make each of them smaller with CSS).
If you are looking to show the crytal in the middle of the cell, then use the below style for the text.
vertical-align: middle;
add this to your CSS. I have only found one solution to your problem i-e if you reduce the font-size you save lot of heigh in your table.
#main_table td
{
font-size:9px;
}

3 DIV's in a row, Can't keep text in the div

I was able to get three div's in a row, no sweat. Where the problem lies when the site is done some pages have text in the center column, however when i start typing the text spills over into the other divs..... The text doesn't wrap (stay in that div)
I'm sure I am probably missing one little dumb thing but any help would be greatly appreciated!
I uploaded a test of it for you guys to see:
http://graves-incorporated.com/test_sites/solera_new/test3col.html
and with the text spilling onto the next div:

I think you worry about nothing. Words like
Stufffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
are not found in many languages. You will see if you put normal language in your div, the text will not overflow at all
You could always use CSS's word-wrap CSS Word-Wrap example.
Or PHP's wordwrap() function PHP Word-Wrap example.
There are various ways you can approach it, but that should set you off in the right direction :)
I Think you must use a proper language then it will not go out of Div's Width , Becase your DIV is already in a Fixed Width.Just use another the good words instead of stuuuuuuuuuuuufffffffff. It will work fine then :).
overflow: hidden will help prevent it from breaking the layout, although some content may be hidden. I would suggest word-break: break-all, but that has a tendancy to break words unnecesarily.
