This is my code:
* {
font-size: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div {
height: 100vh;
}
#one {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
}
#two,
#four {
width: 45px;
background-color: blue;
}
#three {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
}
#button,
#text {
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 10px;
}
#text {
width: 100%;
/* overflow: auto;
white-space: nowrap; */
}
<div id="one">
<div id="two">
</div>
<div id="three">
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</div>
<div id="button">Button</div>
</div>
<div id="four">
</div>
</div>
I want to add white-space: nowrap; for the text (#text), but it destroys the layout, the areas with the blue backgrounds get lost. I saw that adding min-width: 0; or min-height: 0; could help, but it doesn't work in this case.
Has somebody an idea to fix that? Would be very thankful. :)
For clarifying: The text from #text should stay in one line, that's all.
What is happening?
The divs two, three and four are had the flex property set to its default values:
div {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-base: auto
}
Which means that for each div should: calculate the "best" width (flex-base: auto), if there is enough space for the three divs there is no need to grow to fill it (flex-grow: 0), if there isn't enough space shrink them proportionally (flex-shrink: 1).
When you put white-space: nowrap; in the three div, there is not enough space (since it "best" width will be as much as is needed to hold the single long line of text.
Solution:
Add flex-shrink: 0 to the blue divs, and flex-grow: 1 and overflow: auto to the central div. This way, the blue divs will always have 45px width, and the central one will always fill the remaining space.
UPDATE
Since you now have a new div and button inside div three, there is a few additional changes: We'll make div three also a flex container, and set flex-grow and flex-shrink to appropriate values for the inner text and button.
* {
font-size: 40px;

According to MDN, setting white-space: nowrap "suppresses line breaks (text wrapping) within the source." This means that all of your line breaks will be gone for that element and it will go on horizontally as long as there is text.
But to keep everything within the viewport and keep the blue bars around the text, you should first wrap your Lorem Ipsum text in a p tag or other text element, and then change your CSS to something like this:
:root {
--bar_width: 45px;
}
* {
font-size: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div {
height: 100vh;
}
#one {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100vw;
}
#two,
#four {
width: var(--bar_width);
background-color: blue;
}
#three p {
max-width: calc(95vw - (2 * var(--bar_width)));
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: scroll;
}

<div id="four">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This adds an overflow property set to scroll so that the text can be reached without it streching out the viewport. I also set the max width the element can take up so that CSS knows when to start cutting off the text. I also added flex-direction: row; justify-content: space-between; to your #one selector so that the elements space out horizontally.
You can now change the max-width property set in the #three p selector to any value you want and the text (with scroll) will be centered between the blue bars.
You need to set the flex-basis property of div#three, div#two, and div#four to something like 33.3%
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/flex-basis
You're also setting the height of all divs to 100vh, and when the overflow occurs on your inner block elements, it doesn't know where to stop unless you truncate the text: https://css-tricks.com/flexbox-truncated-text/

I ran into some weird flexbox behavior on safari and was hoping someone could explain it.
Codepen of minimal example
Snippet:
// Culprits
// If any of these are removed, the strange behavior goes away {}
.container {
display: flex;
}
.parent {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.child {
display: flex;
flex: 0;
}
// Setup {}
.container {
border: 1px solid green;
}
.parent {
border: 1px solid red;
}
.child {
border: 2px solid blue;
width: 200px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It works fine in Chrome and FF, but on safari, the .child collapses — presumably because of the flex-grow: 0. What's going on?
I am trying to achieve this:
I set a max-width to my paragraph, and I want the two images to have the same height as the paragraph. But the problem is I have a complex flexbox design, as shown below.
Red and green boxes are divs with display: flex property, and blue boxes are content. I made this schema to make the whole thing responsive for small landscape screens (sorry my 2nd drawing looks like it's on mobile).
Large screens:
Small screens:
So here is what I have right now, with height: 100% on the images:
Is there a way to do this in pure CSS? I tried javascript but there are conflicts between flexbox and JS, which lead to this: video of how my JS/CSS conflict looks like
Thanks!

There are several ways to do this, first of all, you should make both of used align-items property have flex-start attribute just like this: align-items: flex-start; as I did in the below snippet to make sure all your items begin from the same place (keep in mind this is optional and for making sure all your items will begin from the same certain point in the UI, and if you don't want to do this you can skip this), the second thing you must consider is the p tag does the default margin from top and bottom so to override it with margin: 0; in the p tag itself. The last and important thing at all you should define a fixed height for your p tag also, and make sure your photos wouldn't pass a certain point with the max-height property, so you have to add this property to both of your images. You can see the results below:
body {
min-height: 100vh;
position: relative;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
padding: 1em;
background-color: cornsilk;
}
#row1 {
display: inline-flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: flex-start;
}
#row1 #row1_col1 {
display: inline-flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: flex-start;
max-height: 100px;
}
#row1 #row1_col1 #photo {
max-height: 200px;
margin-right: 2em;
}
#row1 #row1_col1 p {
background-color: coral;
height: fit-content;
width: fit content;
text-align: justify;
width: 31em;
height: 200px;
margin: 0;
}
#row1 #map {
max-height: 200px;
margin-left: 2em;
}

This is my .html file with a wrapper that contains the header with the menu - sidebar - a div for the content :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">

<div class = "central-body">
<div id = "sidebar">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
<div id = "main-content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
</div>
<footer> </footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is my css:
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
body{
background-color: black;
}
.wrapper{
height: 100%;
}
#header{
background-color: blue;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
}
.central-body{
height: 100%;
width:100%;
background-color: purple;
}
#sidebar{
height: 100%;
width: 20%;
background-color: yellow;
float: left;
}
#main-content{
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
footer{
width:100%;
height: 40px;
background-color: red;
}
My problem is that i have to scroll down "40px" to see my footer, even if there are few words in "sidebar" and "main-content". How can i fix that?
You can make the .central-bodyheight 100% minus the height of the header and the footer like this:
height:calc(100% - 80px) //header 40px + footer 40px
We're using calc for this to work.
(This will also work if we do the calc on the .wrapper)
Here is an working example
Code:
.central-body {
height:calc(100% - 80px);
}
I want to create a custom alert box with bootstrap.
But the vertical aligment of the text and the icon, does not work. So here`s the code:
HTML:
<div class="alert-box alert-box-info text-center clearfix" style="display: inline-block;">
<i class="fa fa-info text-info pull-left"></i>
<div class="text text-info"><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</p></div>
</div>
CSS:
.alert-box
{
margin: 20px 0;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: inline-block;
height: 100px;
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box .text {
margin: 0px;
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box-info
{
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4
{
color: #5bc0de;
}
The jsFiddle Demo
Can somebody tell me, why the vertical alignment does not work and how I can fix that?
Answer was completely updated as a result of the answer to this question.
Your layout should be achievable with flex-box. Just add on the container:
display: flex;
align-items:center;
Anything table related of vertical align related should be removed from all places. You can create your desired layout by forcing table layout on some elements, but that is not the way to go here since you don't have a real table and tabular data.
Note: We need to explicitly add flex-shrink: 0 on the small columns on the edges because of a Chrome bug (just fixed for FF 34) that causes incorrect shrinking. According to the specs, there should not happen any shrinking by default.
Demo:
.alert-box
{
margin: 20px;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: flex;
align-items:center;
height: 100px
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
.alert-box .text {
margin: 0px;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.alert-box-info
{
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4
{
color: #5bc0de;
}
.alert-btn {
flex-shrink: 0;

Simplest way is to change style of div:
<div class="alert-box alert-box-info text-center clearfix" style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">
JavaScript is the best option here. I've added transition for line-height for smooth alignment.
Fiddle
function doMath() {
document.getElementsByClassName('fa-info')[0].style.lineHeight = document.getElementsByClassName('text')[0].clientHeight + 'px';
}
doMath();
window.onresize = doMath;
.alert-box {
margin: 20px 0;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: table;
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
display: table-cell;
transition: line-height 0.1s;
}
.alert-box .text {
padding: 20px;
margin: 0px;
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box-info {
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4 {
color: #5bc0de;
}

The easiest way to vertical align a text if it has only 1 row is the line-height properties:
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
line-height: 100px;
}

I know this is a noob question, but I just can't figure this out! I'm laying out a page for our intranet and all I need to do is position some divs side by side. Each container is a different item, but all containers have the same structure, a header, some descriptive text, and an image. I will be adding items as they are given to me. This is basically just a page i'm creating for employees to sell items. Here is my css and an image of what I'm trying to achieve. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense, but as smart as you guys have proven to be in the past, i'm sure you get the idea.
.wrapper {
width: 1260px;

margin: 0px auto;

margin: 10px;
position: absolute;

Don't position your containers absolutely.
.container {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
margin: 10px;
position: relative;
float:left;
}
At the end of the last container div, you'll need a div to clear: left;
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
Now when you add more div's, they will auto float, and the container will get cleared.
Absolute positioning is in that case really useless.
try this:
.container {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
margin: 10px;
}
Your divs have the same height, so using float is pretty convenient. By giving your .container the attribute position: relative .itemThumb is positioned correctly.
This should work
I don't know if I understand exactly
but one way to get the containers to line up is to set the .container class to
.container {
width: 30%;
height: 400px;
margin: 10px;
display: inline-block;
}
Adding the display: inline-block;
And removing the position:absolute.
Setting your width for each container to around 30% of the wrapper will ensure that three containers get lined up before they go to a new line.
You will need to take off all the position: settings IN your css file so that all the information stays contained within the div.
e.g.
.wrapper {
width: 1260px;
height: 900px;
margin: 0px auto;
position: relative;
}
.container {
width: 30%;
height: 400px;
margin: 10px;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.itemText {
width: 350px;
height: 190px;
padding: 0px;
top: 25px;
left: 25px;
}
.itemHead {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.itemDesc {
padding: 10px;
margin: 0px;
}
.itemThumb {
width: 350px;
height: 150px;
bottom: 25px;
left: 25px;
}
