So without creating more classes in the css, can you have say for example 3 images in the same class, and give them a percentage of space in-between them?
Or is it only possible to do this, by separating them using margin or padding?
Many thanks.
html:
<!--this would normally contain images -->
<div class="image"></div>
<div class="image"></div>
<div class="image"></div>
css:
body {
margin: 0px;
}
.image {
display: inline-block;
background-color: blue;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.image:nth-of-type(1) {
margin-left: 10px;
}
use selectors like not selecting the first child and give margin or padding whichever you like
.image:not(:first-child){
margin-right:10px
}
.myClass img{
float:left;
width: 30%;
margin:0 1%;
}

I'm having trouble because I have a div I want to center and what I have
usually been told to do is this:
width: 700px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
the trouble is, this is for if you want the div to be a fixed width. I want the div
to adjust its size based on the text in the div, and still be centered. I tried:
width: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
but this didn't work. It stretches the div to fill up the screen when I do this.
Anyone know what to do here?
for parent block or body - text-align:center;
for centerd block- display:inline-block;
.center {
display: inline-block;
background: red;
}
body {
text-align: center;
}
<div class="center">
<p contenteditable="true"> write text </p>
</div>

have you tried the approach shown here?
http://www.tightcss.com/centering/center_variable_width.htm
basically.
put your content inside a floated div
put that floated div within another floated div
put left: 50%, position relative on outer div
put left: -50%, position relative on inner div
finally, nest everything in one more div with overflow:hidden
.outermost-div{
background-color: blue;
overflow:hidden;
}
.inner-div{
float:left;
left:50%;
background-color: yellow;
position: relative;
}
.centerthisdiv {
position:relative;
left: -50%;
background-color: green;
float:right;
width:auto;
}
here is my jsfiddle demonstration:
http://jsfiddle.net/wbhyX/1/
Use margin:
0px auto; and display: table;
There are example:
https://jsfiddle.net/da8p4zdr/
You might want to try CSS display:table-cell or display:table
Try this structure.
<div class="container">
<div class="center_div">
</div>
</div>
.container{
float: left;
left: 50%;
position: relative;
}
.center_div{
position: relative;
left: -50%;
float: left;
}
zloctb's answer on Aug 30 '13 at 4:14 actually worked in principle but was incomplete. If you want your element width to be 'auto' based on the contents within it AND centered within its parent BUT with the contents inside the CHILD element left-aligned, do the following (because it really is the simplest way):
.parent {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.parent div.child {
display: inline-block;
text-align: left;
width: auto;
}
(Obviously, if you just wanted everything strictly centered, you would not need the code for the child element.)
EDITED:
use table, it could be easier to style. Then add div into the tr
.outer-container {
position: relative;
left: 50%;
float: left;
clear: both;
margin: 10px 0;
text-align: left;
}
.inner-container {
background: red;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
text-align: left;
}
Centering an element horizontally can get a little weird, as the functionality isn't very intuitive. Really, you need to play games with text-align:center; and margin:auto, and you'll need to know when to use which.
For example, if I want to center the contents of an element (raw-text), including buttons and inputs, I can use text-align:center.
.text-center {
text-align:center;
}
<div class="text-center" style="border:1px dashed blue;padding:6px;" >
My contents are centered! That includes my <input placeholder="inputs" /> and my <button>buttons.</button>
</div>
If we add other elements to our container, those elements will have their width forced to 100%. This helps us emulate that it is centered because technically, at 100%, it is centered! Silly, isn't it?
.text-center {
text-align:center;
}
<div class="text-center" style="border:1px dashed blue;padding:6px;" >
My contents are centered! That includes my <input placeholder="inputs" /> and my <button>buttons.</button>
<p style="background-color:orange;width:auto" >Even though my width is explicitly defined as "auto," I still have 100% width! What gives?!</p>
</div>
If your width property IS defined though, then you can use the margin: auto style to center it within the parent.
<div style="margin:auto;border:1px solid black;width:300px;" >
I am centered!
</div>
You need to determine which solution is best for you. I wish I could help more, but it is hard to know what solution will best fit your needs when you haven't provided the HTML for you problem!
Either way, I hope this JSFiddle helps clear things up!
I am using <div> to create a horizontal bar across the screen. Within that horizontal bar, I have 3 more <div> each of a different width. They are supposed to be all in a row horizontally next to each other. Instead, they are on top of each other. How do I fix this?
Also, if I don't have any text within the <div> in my HTML code, the <div> does not appear. Ex: <div>anything</div>
JSFiddle
You can add css float:left to div and If you also don't want any text in div you should add css height to div.
.horizon div{
float: left;
height: 20px;
}
like this http://jsfiddle.net/KG5B3/
Just use a float, which IS cross-browser compliant. Also you should clear your floats which can be seen on the updated JsFiddle
.horizon div{
float: left;
}
Fiddle
You can float those inner DIVs. You can also use inline-block (not shown).
<div class="horizon">
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="mid">middle</div>
<div class="right">right</div>
<br style="clear: both" />
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
.horizon {
background: #000000;
width: 100%;
}
div.horizon div {
float: left;
}
.right {
width: 25%;
background: #ff0000;
}
.mid {
width: 50%;
background: #00ff00;
}
.left {
width: 25%;
background: #0000ff;
}
I have a regular layout that looks that this:
This layout is done using CSS floats.
When I switch to mobile, I want my layout to do this:
That is, I want my sidebar to be below the content. I can do this using absolute positioning, but I was wondering, is there a way to do this using floats so that if my content changes the sidebar will adjust for the height difference?
Here's how I would do it. The DIVs are floated on your desktop version, but displayed on top of eachother (default block display) on mobile.
CSS:
#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 30%;
}
#content {
float: right;
width: 70%;
}
.mobile #sidebar,
.mobile #content {
float: none;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
Standard HTML:
<body>
<div id="content">
...
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
...
</div>
</body>
Mobile HTML:
<body class="mobile">
<div id="content">
...
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
...
</div>
</body>
Media query, flex container and its order property should do the trick:
#media(max-width:767px) {
.container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.content {
order: 1;
}
.sidebar {
order: 2;
}
}
Make sure to replace max-width value with your own mobile breakpoint.
Browser support for flex is also pretty decent now.
Assuming:
The two elements have a shared parent element
The content div appears BEFORE the sidebar in the source
You don't have to change the source order, you can achieve this with floats by default.
That is, in your desktop layout:
#content {
float: right;
width: 60%;
}
#sidebar {
float: left;
width: 40%;
}
Then, for mobile (using media queries or whatever other mechanism):
#content, #sidebar {
float: none;
clear: both;
}
Inside your mobile media queries set float:none.
Actually, I wanted to set layout like first layout so I had used:
.iconHome{
float: left;
border: 1px solid #73AD21;
width: 50%;
height: 100px;
background-color: aqua;
/*margin: 50px;*/
}
<div class="iconHome1">
</div>
<div class="iconHome1">
</div>
The result is the second layout!!!There fore, I think default "float:left" is not be set on mobile. You can use above way. Hope help you
Edit:
I tried some codes:
.iconHome1{
float: left;
border: 1px solid #73AD21;
width: 50%;/*185px*/
height: 200px;
background-color: aqua;
margin: 0;/*0 0 0 -7px*/
/*clear: left;*/
}
That means "width" & "margin" will effect to layout,although you have to set "float:left". Fix "width:49%", result:
I am trying to split the content into 2 columns
using the below CSS
.container2 {width: 320px; height: 100px; display: block;}
.image2 {border: 1px solid #F2F3F4;
float: left;
height: 50px;
margin-right: 6px;
padding: 1px;
width: 50px;}
.image2 img { height: 50px; width: 50px;}
.text2 {width: 230px; height: 100px; float:left; font-size: 13px;}
.clear2 {clear: both;}
here is my page http://www.applicationcatalyst.com/columns/
(but the content is in single column)
Now I would like to know what extra I need to add in the CSS code to make the content
split into 2 columns
Thanks
You should do the following:
Put the following div in one div with class 'ColumnDiv' or something.
(image2 & text2)
so you have this:
<div class="ColumnDiv">
<div class="image2">
<img src="http://www.applicationcatalyst.com/storage/other/cakehealth.png"/>
</div>
<div class="text2">Track and Optimize Your Healthcare.</div>
</div>
<div class="ColumnDiv">
<div class="image2">
<img src="http://www.applicationcatalyst.com/storage/other/greengoose.png"/>
</div>
<div class="text2">Farmville for real life, with wireless sensors.</div>
</div>
<div class="clear2"/>
and in css you need to put the following:
.ColumnDiv
{
float:left;
}
Now your divs will show next to each other.
And i guess .clear2 is for evening out the length of both columns.
If you don't want to make any changes to the HTML, you can do it by doing the following:
Increasing the width of .container2 to hold both content blocks side by side.
Removing the clear: both from .clear2. This allows the content blocks to float next to each other.
The changed rules are below:
.container2 {
width: 640px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
}
.clear2{
clear: none;
}
What you'll then see is that your 2 columns aren't properly centered in the main content area. To fix this, you'll need to update the following 2 CSS rules to give them space:
#sidebar2Wrapper {
display: none;
}
#contentWrapper {
width: 800px;
}
I'm sure this a common problem, but couldn't find the exact answer :)
I have two divs inside another div. I want the two divs to be on the same level, one floating to the left and the other to the right. But they won't get inside the parent div unless I use position: absolute on the parent. But then the child-divs won't stay on the same level :S
#main {
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 20px;
position: absolute;
}
#left_menu {
width: 150px;
float: left;
}
#content {
margin-left: 20px;
float: right;
border: 1px solid white;
}
<div id ="main">
<div id ="left_menu>&blablabal</div>
<div id ="content">blablb</div>
</div>
your margin-left of #content should include the width of #left_menu. Thus should be
#content {
margin-left: 170px;
/* float: right; */ /* no need for a float here */
border: 1px solid white;
}
You also don't need a position:absolute for your #main (unless other purposes)
So finally:
<style type="text/css"><!--
#main {
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
#left_menu {
width: 150px;
float: left;
}
#content {
margin-left: 170px;
border: 1px solid white;
}
.c{clear:both;}
--></style>
<div id="main">
<div id="left_menu>&blablabal</div>
<div id="content">blablb</div>
</div>
<div class="c"></div>
.c is to clear and pushes the bottom content off the floats.
What about this its all to do with your width on your container.
This works for me.
<style type="text/css"><!--
.Content{
Width:100%;
}
.FloatLeft{
float:left;
}
.FloatRight{
float:Right;
}
-->
</style>
<div class="Content">
<div class="FloatLeft"></div>
<div class="FloatRight"></div>
</div>
you will need to 'float' the main div, or use a clearing <div> or <br> after your content and left menu <div>s.
The problem is not "staying on the same level", but it's about the size of the container div.
This might help you: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/63079
The nicest and easiest thing to do is to set overflow: hidden on the container, #main. I don't think this works in IE6 though.
try giving the main div an overflow: hidden; and taking away it's position: absolute;
which will give it a height equivalent to the greater height of the floating divs
Also, I don't know if you copied it from your page, but you're missing a close quotation in your left_menu id=""
#main{
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
}
and remove absolute to the parent;
#left_menu,#content{
....
vertical-align:top;
}
