I want to align the text in the middle (Horizontal & Vertical) of each single box:
HTML:
<div class="piclist"><span>Tag 1</span><div class="overlay"></div><div class="tabpic foto1" style="background-image: url(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/PM5544_with_non-PAL_signals.png); display: block;"></div></div>
<div class="piclist"><span>Tag 2</span><div class="overlay"></div><div class="tabpic foto2" style="background-image: url(https://cdn.downdetector.com/static/uploads/c/300/5f7e7/wikipedia-logo_1_1.png); display: block;"></div></div>
<div class="piclist"><span>Tag 3</span><div class="overlay"></div><div class="tabpic foto3" style="background-image: url(https://cdn.downdetector.com/static/uploads/c/300/5f7e7/wikipedia-logo_1_1.png); display: block;"></div></div>
<div class="piclist"><span>Tag 4</span><div class="overlay"></div><div class="tabpic foto4" style="background-image: url(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/PM5544_with_non-PAL_signals.png); display: block;"></div></div>
I think there is a problem with the nested divs: https://jsfiddle.net/brL822vb/
The trick I use is Table and Table Cells to use the vertical-align property.
You seem to have a lot of tags inside that element where its not really needed - these are the 3 you need and I think you can make your example work nicely by stripping down.
Put your background image on the Box, the Overlay is your semi transparent layer, and the span is your text.
HTML:
<div class="box">
<div class="box-overlay">
<span>Text</span>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.box{
width:400px;
height:400px;
border:1px solid red;
}
.box-overlay{
display:table;
height:100%;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
width:100%;
}
.box-overlay span{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
text-align:center;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}

This is what I have done till now.
<div style="overflow:visible;width:1050px;border:1px solid green;height:50px;margin-left:115px">
<div style="border:1px solid red;position:absolute;width:730px;">
<br/><br/><br/>
<div class=''><div class='tagstyle'>FRESHER</div><div class='tagstyle'>IT JOBS</div><div class='tagstyle'>2013</div><div class='tagstyle'>BANGALORE</div></div>
<!----- left --->
<div>
<div style="border:1px solid blue;height:900px;position:absolute;width:340px;margin-left:735px;">
<!------ right --->
<div>
</div>
Problem is, right side div going downward, when left side div has any content.
Aha! Saw your edit now! It's really simple with some css3 table display properties, but that doesn't work in old browsers.
However, you could use some simple css to make a standard blog template with sidebar, header and main content:
<style>
.body-wrapper {
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:50%;
width:900px;
margin-left:-450px; /* Half the width (negative) */
background:red;
}
.header {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100px;
margin-bottom:10px;
background:blue;
}
.main {
float:left;
width:70%;
background:green;
}
.sidebar {
float:right;
width:30%;
background:yellow;
}
</style>
<div class="body-wrapper">
<div class="header">
Header!
</div>
<div class="main">
Content!
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
Sidebar!
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsFiddle as proof: http://jsfiddle.net/Kepk9/

Another answer!
If you just would like to position divs after each other, you could set them to display:inline-block, like this:
<style>
.inline {
display:inline-block;
}
</style>
<div class="inline">
Labalodado
<br/>multiline content
</div>
<div class="inline">
Less content
</div>
<div class="inline">
Another div
<br/>with
<br/>multiline content
</div>
The reason why your code doesn't work is really simple actually. I made some other answers first because I think that they are a better approach.
position:absolute doesn't automatically move the item to {0,0}
You have to set top:0px by yourself.
Oh.. and there are some mistakes in your code too, but just go with one of my other too answers and you'll be fine :)
I am trying to place 7 divs side by side but with a bit of uniqueness.
You can take a look at what I have done so far through the link HERE and view page source.
I want the Center div's width to fill the space between the Left Middle and Right Middle div irrespective of how far one drags the browser form to the left or right. At the moment the center div has white spaces left and right of it.
Can anyone help me out please?
You can achieve it with <table>. If you are pretending to use div-based structure, then you can simulate divs behaviour by using display:table etc...
here is HTML:
<div style="display:table;width:100%;">
<div style="display:table-row">
<div style="display:table-cell;width:100px;background:blue;">Left Fixed</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:auto;background:green;">Left Stretch</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:120px;background:yellow;">Left Middle</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:auto;background:#999;">Center</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:120px;background:yellow;">Right Middle</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:auto;background:green;">Right Stretch</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;width:100px;background:blue;">Right Fixed</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a demo: demo link
Try with display: inline-block and white-space: nowrap.
Demo
Example:
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">first</div>
<div class="child2">first2</div>
<div class="child3">first3</div>
<div class="child4">first4</div>
<div class="child5">first5</div>
<div class="child6">first6</div>
<div class="child7">first7</div>
</div>
CSS
.parent{
margin:0 auto;
background:red;
font-size:0;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.child, .child1, .child2, .child3, .child4, .child5, .child6, .child7{
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
width:100px;
padding:20px;
font-size:12px;
}
.child{
background:green;
}
.child2{
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
.child3{
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
}
.child4{
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
.child5{
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
.child6{
background:rgba(45,234,0,0.9);
}
.child7{
background:rgba(232,0,222,0.9);
}
LIve demo
Your left div has a width of 45%; your right div similarly. But the middle div has a width of 8%, so there's 2% left over.
If you make the centre div have a width of 10%, the gaps disappear.
<div style="position: relative;">
<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 10%; margin-top: 0px; background-color: #999">
Center</div>
</div>
since you had the two divs width's add up to 90% and the center div as 8%, fix this and the center this fills up the center
You can achieve this without any problem using HTML <table>. Or if you want to have it table-less, by using only div-based structure, then you can simulate table's behavior with display as table, table-row, table-cell in your CSS
Here is a Live Demo.
I have a wrapper. Inside that wrapper I have 3 divs. I would like #contentOne standing above #contentTwo and contentThree standing on the right side of those two. I am sure someone can help. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc. (This positioning thing is killing me....)
http://jsfiddle.net/Qmrpu/
My HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
</div>
My CSS:
#wrapper{
width:430px;
float:left;
height:auto;
border:2px solid blue;}
.content{
border:1px solid black;
background-color:yellow;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
#contentThree{
height:130px;}
Can you put them in floated column wrappers?
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="column1" class="column">
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
</div>
<div id="column2" class="column">
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.column {
float: left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/xbcxs/
That's how I would've done it. Notice the position:relative on the wrapper div and position:absolute; right:0; on the third div.

HTML is lacking in providing functions for vertical positioning. They are getting better with newer display values, but you need to limit your audience to only modern browsers. Barring that you need to change the order of the HTML to get the vertical position you want. In this case if you put the 3rd section at the top and gave it a float:right you get what you are after.

Why not use a table for layout?
http://jsfiddle.net/Qmrpu/3/
try this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
</div>
#wrapper{
width:430px;
float:left;
height:auto;
border:2px solid blue;}
.content{
border:1px solid black;
background-color:yellow;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
#contentThree{
height:130px;
float: right;
}
I've looked at so many posts on this I'm at a loss as to why its not working for me.
.firstCell
{
float:left;
width:40%;
text-align:right;
align:right;
border:1px solid white;
}
.cell
{
float:left;
width:auto;
align:left;
text-align:left;
border:1px solid white;
}
.newRow
{
clear:both;
width:100%;
}
.container
{
width:100%;
background-color:#DEEFF8;
margin:0px auto;
}
So, I basically have this:
<div class="container">
*Within this I have sections of like a form*
<div style="width:400px;border:1px solid black;">
<div class='firstCell'>File Name:</div>
<div class='cell'><html:text property="fileName" /></div>
<div class='cell' style='color:red;'>(Max 50 character)</div>
<div class='newRow'></div>
<div class='firstCell'>Copy Book Name:</div>
<div class='cell'><html:text property="copyBookName"/></div>
<div class='newRow'></div>
<div class='firstCell'><html:button property="populateFields" value="Populate Fields" onclick="showFields();"/></div>
<div class='newRow'></div>
<div class='newRow'></div>
</div>
*So this is one section, what I would like to happen is to position my form elements in this and then have it all be centered on the main div
</div>
Your main .container has 100% width, it doesn't matter if you center it, it will still start drawing it from the very left. The div inside of it that's responsible for the left-aligned box has no id/class, and you're doing no aligning on it. Technically your main container is centered, but everything inside of it is left-aligned.
Do you mean like this? http://jsfiddle.net/36ujG/
It's a little hard to understand what you are trying to center. All I did was added margin: 0 auto to the child div of container.
I have a basic layout that is one Div container wrapper and three columns Divs inside. I want the left and right column to be of fixed with, with the middle one being dynamic to fit it's open space.
Here's a picture to demonstrate what it looks like now:
The red border is the container, and the blue border div is the one I want to expand to stretch as wide as it can so the yellow div is always almost touching the right border of the parent.
Thanks!

Since display:table-cell is now universally supported in all modern browsers you might as well use that: http://jsfiddle.net/Lbpeh/1/
HTML
<div id="root">
<div id="left">
Left
</div>
<div id="middle">
Middle
</div>
<div id="right">
Right
</div>
</div>
CSS
#root {
display:table;
border-spacing:0;
width:100%;
height:500px;
}
#root > div {
display:table-cell;
}
#left {
background:red;
width:25%;
}
#middle {
background:green;
}
#right {
background:blue;
width:100px;
}
Keep in mind that table-like layout has some issues of its own, but what you're essentially trying to achieve is the behaviour of tables with semantically more correct markup. That's what display:table-cell is for.
There are quite a few:
