I have three images side by side in my web page and in the responsive CSS media query for mobile, I want the third image to be centered on the next line with the first two above it, one floating left, one floating right. I can't do it! How do I write this CSS?
You should share you code, but I'll try to help you even so.
<div class="main">
<div class="image-left"><img src=""></div>
<div class="image-right"><img src=""></div>
<div class="image-center"><img src=""></div>
</div>
CSS:
.main {
position: relative;
max-width: 100%;
}
.image-left {
float: left;
}
.image-center {
margin-top: 5%;
margin-left: 10% ;
position: absolute;
}
You need to adjust .image-center { margin-top and margin-left according to your layout.
If you need space between image-left and image-right, you add another class;
.image-right {
margin-left: 10px;
}

Is there a way to center vertically and horizontally everything automatically inside different container in the same page? I tried use top 50% and vertically-align, but it didn't work. I want to center vertically automatically because if the object/text change size, it will center exactly right place. I succeed center horizontally and I don't want to use top: px;. How do I do that using html5 and css? center everything automatically
no center
vertical-align will only align inline elements relative to each other. It will not work the way you want.
To align vertically just as you show in your image, you need to use display: flex; which has additional css properties which you may find useful.
basically you can use
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%);
for vertical alignment.
But for this to work, the surrounding elements have to have either a fixed height, or if they have a percentage height, also their parent elements and all elements around these all the way up to the body element need to have percentage heights.
Here's an alternative solution that defines table properties for the DIVs. In a table cell the content can be centered not only horizontally, but also vertically (in class .x).
Codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/WwjQZw
HTML:
<div class="wrap">
<div class="row_wrap">
<div class="head x">
ONE
</div>
</div>
<div class="row_wrap">
<div class="middle x">
TWO TWO
</div>
</div>
<div class="row_wrap">
<div class="bottom x">
THREE
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
body {
font-size: 36px;
color: green;
}
.wrap {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.row_wrap {
display: table-row;
}
.x {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
.head {
height: 200px;
background: #fa4;
}
.middle {
height: 400px;
background: #4af;
}
.bottom {
height: 100px;
background: #a4f;
}
I have been trying to build a website having a 3 column layout. All of the body is given a margin:0 auto to keep it at the centre, and has a minimum width of 1218px.
Now, what I want to do is reposition the right column in such a way the it goes below the left column without affecting the centre column. A live example would be twitter home page, where at the left I can see my profile and trends, the centre column features the tweets and the right column shows suggestions on a 1366x768 screen, now if I change the screen size to 1024x768, the column of suggestions at right goes down below the left column but the central timeline is unaffected.
The definition would be:
<div class="containter" style="margin:0px auto;">
<div class="left-col" style="width:290px; float:left;">Left Stuff goes here </div>
<div class="center-col" style="width:590px; float:right;"> Center body </div>
<div class="right-col" style="width:290px; float:right;">right Stuff goes here </div>
</div>
Now note that the central column has a right float, copied from twitter.
I can't use media queries for that since the website is going to deal with a lot of old browsers and also I would like to avoid JavaScript if possible.
Any help?
You can't do that with "min-width" of the main container. You must use "max-width" since you want to make sure something happens when the screen width gets more narrow. And the main column (in the center) has to be left-floated, not right. Here's a possible solution. However the whole questions seems weird to me since you want to make a responsive layout in an old browser that doesn't support responsive CSS.
<style>
.container {
max-width: 1218px;
}
.leftColumn {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 500px;
background-color: brown;
}
.mainColumn {
float: left;
width: 700px;
height: 500px;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
.suggestions {
float: left;
width: 218px;
height: 500px;
background-color: darkorange;
}
.cleaner {
clear: both;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<div class="leftColumn">
LEFT
</div>
<div class="mainColumn">
MAIN
</div>
<div class="suggestions">
SUGGESTIONS
</div>
<div class="cleaner"></div>
</div>
___________div class=MAIN_________________
div id=LEFT div id=RIGHT
__________________________________________
How can I achive that all the bottoms of the MAIN + LEFT + RIGHT box are glued together?
Basically locking the bottoms, say if there is a lot of contents in the LEFT box -> the RIGHT box will grow along with the LEFT and MAIN box.

I don't know how to correctly implement into my code :(

I have copied the whole CSS file so it looks very messy. But the boxes are as follow
<div class="content home">
<div id="main">
<div id="sidebar">
Do you mean something like this : http://jsfiddle.net/teresko/EkTVv/
This is a variation on so-called "holy grail layout". Should work on all browsers, including IE6. The layout will expand to fit the longest of parts. If content is shorter then browser's height, then layout will extend to the height of the browser.
http://jsfiddle.net/rlemon/DjQup/
you float the left and right columns in the container. then have an 'inner' content container with padding to offset the floats... see the example above.
<div class="container">
<div class="left">asd</div>
<div class="right">asd</div>
<div class="middle">
<div class="middle-inner">
asdf
</div>
</div>
</div>
.container {
height: 600px;
widht: 800px;
background-color: #aaa;
clear: both;
}
.left, .right {
width: 100px;
height: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
.left { float: left; }
.right { float: right; }
.middle {
background-color: green;
float: none;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.middle-inner {
padding: 0 100px;
}
it's not perfect but at least you can see the technique in play. gl.
I found a lot of questions on stack overflow about getting rid of white space, but I can't seem to figure out how to put it in.
I have a bottom navigation on my site that floats with the page, but if the window is small, the bottom part of the page gets covered up. I would like to insert some white space at the bottom, so when the window is smaller than the length of the page you can still read it.
I've tried adding:
margin-bottom: 50px;
padding-bottom: 50px;
to the div containing the top page content, but it doesn't work.
Is there something I am missing? Here's a demonstration: http://www.writingprompts.net/name-generator/
#left, #right {
margin-bottom: 90px;
}
or
#top_section > div {
margin-bottom: 90px;
}
It doesn't work on #top_section because you use absolutes and therefore the content actually over extends the div itself, but trust me, either of those two css' i gave you WILL work
Simply add the following rule:
#top_section {
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 90px;
}
This will make #top_section be as big as the floating content inside it.
http://jsfiddle.net/rlemon/fSYmu/ This is a simplified example, having no idea what your layout looks like (I am not going to assume the demonstration is yours... unless you revise and tell me it is) i'll show you how I would do this
HTML
<div class="container"> <!-- main page wrapper -->
<div class="content"> <!-- main content wrapper, backgrounds apply here -->
<div class="inner-content"> <!-- content inner, where your content goes! -->
content
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">footer</div> <!-- footer -->
</div>
CSS
html,body,.container {
height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; // I am important so the page knows what 100% height is.
}
.content {
height: 100%; // see above... i need to cascade down.
background-color: green;
}
.content-inner {
padding-bottom: 100px; // offset for the footer.
}
.footer {
width: 100%;
position: absolute; // stick me to the bottom.
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
enjoy!
You need to use fixed position in CSS to achieve this.
HTML:
<div id="top-section">
Insert content here...
</div>
<div id="bottom-nav">
<div id="content">
Bottom content...
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#bottom-nav {
bottom: 0;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
}
I have been attempting to split a div into two columns using CSS, but I have not managed to get it working yet. My basic structure is as follows:
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1"></div>
<div id="object2"></div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3"></div>
<div id="object4"></div>
</div>
</div>
If I attempt to float the right and left divs to their respective positions (right and left), it seems to ignore the content div's background-color. And other code that I have tried from various websites doesn't seem to be able to translate to my structure.
Thanks for any help!
This works good for me. I have divided the screen into two halfs: 20% and 80%:
<div style="width: 20%; float:left">
#left content in here
</div>
<div style="width: 80%; float:right">
#right content in there
</div>
When you float those two divs, the content div collapses to zero height. Just add
<br style="clear:both;"/>
after the #right div but inside the content div. That will force the content div to surround the two internal, floating divs.
Another way to do this is to add overflow:hidden; to the parent element of the floated elements.
overflow:hidden will make the element grow to fit in floated elements.
This way, it can all be done in css rather than adding another html element.
None of the answers given answer the original question.
The question is how to separate a div into 2 columns using css.
All of the above answers actually embed 2 divs into a single div in order to simulate 2 columns. This is a bad idea because you won't be able to flow content into the 2 columns in any dynamic fashion.
So, instead of the above, use a single div that is defined to contain 2 columns using CSS as follows...
.two-column-div {
column-count: 2;
}
assign the above as a class to a div, and it will actually flow its contents into the 2 columns. You can go further and define gaps between margins as well. Depending on the content of the div, you may need to mess with the word break values so your content doesn't get cut up between the columns.
The most flexible way to do this:
#content::after {
display:block;
content:"";
clear:both;
}
This acts exactly the same as appending the element to #content:
<br style="clear:both;"/>
but without actually adding an element. ::after is called a pseudo element. The only reason this is better than adding overflow:hidden; to #content is that you can have absolute positioned child elements overflow and still be visible. Also it will allow box-shadow's to still be visible.
For whatever reason I've never liked the clearing approaches, I rely on floats and percentage widths for things like this.
Here's something that works in simple cases:
#content {
overflow:auto;
width: 600px;
background: gray;
}
#left, #right {
width: 40%;
margin:5px;
padding: 1em;
background: white;
}
#left { float:left; }
#right { float:right; }
If you put some content in you'll see that it works:
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1">some stuff</div>
<div id="object2">some more stuff</div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3">unas cosas</div>
<div id="object4">mas cosas para ti</div>
</div>
</div>
You can see it here: http://cssdesk.com/d64uy
Make children divs inline-block and they will position side by side:
#content {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
#left, #right {
display: inline-block;
width: 45%;
height: 100%;
}
See Demo
You can use flexbox to control the layout of your div element:
* { box-sizing: border-box; }
#content {
background-color: rgba(210, 210, 210, 0.5);
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0.5rem;
display: flex;
}
#left,
#right {
background-color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.5);
border: 1px solid #fff;
padding: 0.5rem;
flex-grow: 1;
color: #fff;
}
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1">lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="object2">dolor site amet</div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3">lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="object4">dolor site amet</div>
</div>
</div>
Best way to divide a div vertically --
#parent {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 60%;
}
.right {
overflow: hidden;
width: 40%;
}
Pure old school CSS
I know this post is old, but if any of you still looking for a simpler solution.
#container .left,
#container .right {
display: inline-block;
}
#container .left {
width: 20%;
float: left;
}
#container .right {
width: 80%;
float: right;
}
If you don't care old browser and need a simple way.
#content {
display: flex;
}
#left,
#right {
flex: 50%;
}
Floats don't affect the flow. What I tend to do is add a
<p class="extro" style="clear: both">possibly some content</p>
at the end of the 'wrapping div' (in this case content). I can justify this on a semantic basis by saying that such a paragraph might be needed. Another approach is to use a clearfix CSS:
#content:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
#content {
display: inline-block;
}
/* \*/
* html #content {
height: 1%;
}
#content {
display: block;
}
/* */
The trickery with the comments is for cross-browser compatibility.
This is best answered here Question 211383
These days, any self-respecting person should be using the stated "micro-clearfix" approach of clearing floats.
Make font size equal to zero in parent DIV.
Set width % for each of child DIVs.
#content {
font-size: 0;
}
#content > div {
font-size: 16px;
width: 50%;
}
*In Safari you may need to set 49% to make it works.
Divide a division in two columns is very easy, just specify the width of your column better if you put this (like width:50%) and set the float:left for left column and float:right for right column.
