I have a div with three divs in it like this:
#parent
#child-1
#child-2
#child-3
And I want it to look like this:
Child 2 should use up the available space vertically, because child-3 is display:none as default, and only on some event it would show up, so it should push child-2 up. child-3 should be as high as it needs to be as well.
I like to use flexbox, but I think I cannot use it here.
It would be really easy to put them in another div, and just do a flex on that box and flex-direction:column, but I do not have this opportunity, so they will be in the same div as child-1.
So what is the easiest way to accomplish this with pure CSS without touching the HTML structure?
Here's one working example:
#parent {
height: 50em;
}
div[id^=child] {
border: 2px solid black;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#child1 {
height: 100%;
min-height: 32em;
background: red;
width: 30%;
float: left;
margin: 0;
}
#child2 {
height: 60%;
background: green;
width: calc(70% - .4em);
margin-left: calc(30% + .4em);
margin-bottom: .4em;
}
#child3 {
height: calc(40% - .4em);
min-height: 10em;
background: yellow;
width: calc(70% - .4em);
margin-left: calc(30% + .4em);
}

I have a float issue in IE6&ie7:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>lily</title>
<style>
div{width: 100px; height: 100px;}
.div1{background: red; float: left;}
.div2{background: yellow;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="div1">div1</div>
<div class="div2">div2</div>
</body>
</html>
why it displays different in IE6&&IE7 and Chrome? And how to solve it in ie6&ie7?
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>lily</title>
<style>
div{width: 100px; height: 100px;}
.div1{background: red; float: left;}
.div2{background: yellow; clear:both;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="div1">div1</div>
<div class="div2">div2</div>
</body>
Your second div is clearing your first, but only the text. If you set a left margin you can tell it to sit next to the floated div.
http://jsfiddle.net/Pjvtb/
.div2 {
margin-left: 100px; /* new line */
background: yellow;
}
Note: IE 6 and 7 incorrectly move the second div past the first one, due to hasLayout. You can search online for more information about the problems associated with it. There is also a 3px "text jog" present in IE 6 (possibly 7 too, I can't remember) which usually meant, to display the same in all browsers, one would actually make the margin-left: 103px to accommodate IE's weirdness.
First things first, try it with both of the divs floating and see what happens.
HERE is a FIDDLE with each scenario for you to test.
/* yours */
.yours div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
.yours .div1 {
background: red;
float: left;
}
.yours .div2 {
background: yellow;
}
/* mine */
.mine div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
}
.mine .div1 {
background: red;
}
.mine .div2 {
background: yellow;
}
/* mine with a cleared float */
.mine-too div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
}
.mine-too .div1 {
background: red;
}
.mine-too .div2 {
background: yellow;
clear: left;
/* not BOTH - you only need left - there is no right... */
}
I'd like to create a layout that acts like a titlebar from iphone:
I tried to put together the following example, but I'm not sure how to get the middle column to expand in width so it uses all left over space. I can do this in javascript at runtime, but wondering if there's a css solution. Here it is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#parent {
background-color: #eee;
width: 100%;
}
#colLeft {
background-color: #ff8b8b;
height: 48px;
display: inline;
}
#colMiddle {
background-color: #c9ffc3;
height: 48px;
display: inline;
text-align: center;
}
#colRight {
background-color: #c3d0ff;
height: 48px;
display: inline;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent" style="width:100%">
<div id="colLeft">left</div>
<div id="colMiddle">title</div>
<div id="colRight">right</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thank you
A simpler way to approach this is to use an HTML structure like this:
<div id="parent" style="width:100%">
<div id="colLeft">left</div>
title
<div id="colRight">right</div>
<div>
Float the left and right divs to the appropriate sides and set the text align on the parent to center. Any styles from the middle div for text, etc can be applied to the parent.
I'm a bit late in the answer, but see if this is more like what you need, without the need to sacrifice the middle <div>:
You'll have to float the 3 columns and make the inner column have a 100% width. Then, setting the inner column's margin (based on left and right columns' widths), you achieve the result.

You need to define the widths...
#colLeft {
background-color: #ff8b8b;
height: 48px;
width: 50px
display: inline;
}
#colMiddle {
background-color: #c9ffc3;
height: 48px;
display: inline;
width: auto;
text-align: center;
}
#colRight {
background-color: #c3d0ff;
height: 48px;
width: 50px;
display: inline;
}
Note: default value for width is auto.
I've looked at 20 threads at least so far so sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find a solution that suits my particular css layout.
I want to set the height of 2 columns equal to each other in a way that the leftcolumn equals the contentcolumn. I've tried using multiple javascripts like this :
`
$(document).ready(function() {
// get the heights
l = $('#contentcolumn').height();
// get maximum heights of all columns
h = Math.max(l);
// apply it
$('#leftcolumn').height(h);
});
And:
document.getElementById("leftcolumn").style.maxHeight = document.getElementById("contentcolumn").style.height;
And:
$("#contentcolumn").height($("#leftcolumn").height())
The problem with the first code is that it drops the left div to some really long height which I don't even know. The second and third codes change nothing at all.
Can someone please help me I know there's probably a really simple solution to this problem but I just can't find and I just can't go to sleep until I do !

You can do this without javascript--in a cross-browser way, even. This takes advantage of absolutely-positioning elements within relatively-positioned elements. If you set your #maincontainer div to position: relative and your #leftcolumn div to position: absolute, you can then set both top and bottom on #leftcolumn, so it always assumes the height of its parent (#maincontainer), even though #maincontiner's height is being set by its children (#contentcolumn in this case). Use this jsfiddle demo and play with #contentcolumn's height to see how #leftcolumn responds.

Here's a simple puzzle that's been frustrating me for a while today:
Consider this page markup:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { overflow: hidden; }
#content { width: 750px; height: 100px; background: orange; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">Foo bar</div>
</div>
</body>
How can I get div#content centered in the page regardless of viewport width?
I've tried a variety of tricks (including text-align: center; display: inline-block;) and absolute positioning, but with all of them the div#content is left-aligned when the browser window is brought under 750px in width.
I've seen a few high-profile websites do this in the past. For example on Apple.com when they advertised the new retina iPad: the iPad pictured was a very wide image that extended past the main page area (note it was not a CSS background image of the <body> element), but it didn't cause scrolling when the browser window only fit the main page content. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any existing sites that do this so I can't find a reference.
Thanks.

My approach: I give the black div top and bottom margin auto but it is not working (also for the horizontal center [left and right margin:auto] it is working). Does margin:auto only work for left and right?
I want to know why this is happening, and I don't want any other solution like:
Display text inline with a vertical-align div.
Display with proper padding or margin.
margin: auto does not work for top and bottom. If margin-top: auto or margin-bottom: auto is specified, their used value is 0. Here's an article about how you can achieve vertical centering.
You need to use some jQuery here to calculate the height of parent container.
