Looking at the bottom example here, if you give .after-box a margin-top:5px it doesn't make a difference as it'll stay in the same location. But if you give .box a margin-bottom:5px it'll move the .after-box down. Why is it that on floated elements, their margin matters but other elements around them don't?
Hey margins don't move floated html elements, instead they push it away.
To give a fake margins on floated elements is to put the content inside another container then apply padding.
.outer {
float: left;
padding: 20px;
}
.inner {
//styles here..
}

So basically, I want two divs to sit inside another div. The first one is sitting inside with no issues, but the second one floats underneath the parent. When I add overflow:hidden I can't see the div anymore. The closest I've gotten to a solution was to add overflow:auto, but that just creates a scroll bar. I have tried resizing, different positioning, overflow and clearfix but so far I can't find a solution. Any ideas guys? JSFiddle demo here http://jsfiddle.net/QLbGc/ Thanks for any help, it's been annoying me for a couple of days now.
You forgot to put float:left; at the slideshow div
It should be
#slideshow {
background-color: #000;
margin: 15px;
height: 95%;
width: 60%;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
float: left;
}
So now you have the 'slideshow' div floating left and 'about' div floating right and they can fit inside the parent div.
Basically they were inside the parent div from the first time but the about div was under slideshow div.

If you're looking to have the two divs side by side here's a fiddle for that.

I stripped out a bunch of stuff as I wasn't sure you needed it or it was just stuff you were throwing at it to try and affect change.
Somebody mentioned you were missing a float: left; in what we assume you wanted as your left div.
Remember to compensate for margin and padding to match the container div.
In my example the main container was 500px wide. If I set each float div to 250px width when added to the 20px combined margins on those divs the total width goes to 520px and pushes that right div under the left div so you'll want each floated div at 240px to compensate. Same deal with percentages.
If I misundestood your intention and you're looking to hide one of those div use display: none; on it and double the width of the one you want to show.
try to put this code in your css.
.content::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
What's the simplest solution to make four equally sized boxes that is displayed inline (horizontally) and is centered in the screen all through out responsively?
I have four divs with same sizes, displayed inline and is always placed in center, meaning they always have an equal margins on left and write of the screen. And i want it to be responsive. I already tried flex-box but i'm having trouble with browser compatibility with css3.
I don't know if this is the absolute "best" way. But something like this would definitely work.
div {
width: 22%; //adjust as necessary
margin-right: 4%; //adjust as necessary
float: left;
height: 5em; //adjust or remove as necessary
}
div.last { //alternatively you could consider using the :last-child selector
margin-right: 0;
float: right;
}
You will have to apply a class of "last" to the last div. Alternatively you could use div:last-child if they were all contained in a parent element.
Also, when adjusting the margin/width make sure they stay relative. widthx4 + margin-rightx3 should always = 100 (assuming no padding or borders).
The code sample below works almost the same, if I include or remove the 'float: left' line. The only difference is the float left version moves the blocks below it up a bit more, but not more than a line break. I don't understand why you would add floating to an element set to 100% width. To my understanding,this prevents everything below it from flowing around it. Isn't that the purpose of floating?
ul
{
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
width:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
li
{
display: inline;
}
The reason why this works is because your <li> display is set to inline. This means that all elements with of this HTML tag will show up on the same line as all other ones. In other words, there will be no line-break. I would suggest the following instead:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
width: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
overflow: hidden; /* This will ensure there's a line break after using float for the list items */
}
li {
float: left;
}
This way you can ensure that each list item can also use margin and padding properly as opposed to inline elements which act as characters in a string of text normally would.
The float property is meant to allow an object to be displayed inline with the text directing it to one side. Float left is thus a lot like inline but with the exception that the element being floated is aligned towards the left or the right. It is not necessary to use the float:left; flag for what you are trying to do, It can often be better to place the ul where you want it using position, margin, padding, left , top , right , bottom instead. This usualy gives a more controllable result.
Here is an example fiddle of what happens when switching between no float and float left.
http://jsfiddle.net/um9LV/
The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it.
when an element is floated it is taken out of the normal flow of the document. It is shifted to the left or right until it touches the edge of it's containing box or another floated element.
float:left - use float to get block elements to slide next to each other
display:block - Displaying the links as block elements makes the whole link area clickable (not just the text), and it allows us to specify the width
I'm trying to get two divs to appear side by side as follows:
First div is displayed on the left float: left and takes up as much space as it needs.
Second div appears on the right float: right and takes the remaining space.
The issue is that I do not have a set width for any of those divs so they just take up as much space as they can: jsFiddle
I have found several solutions but all of them required setting width for one of the divs which is what I'm trying to avoid. Any possible solution?
#left, #right { display: table-cell; }
#left { white-space: nowrap; }
http://jsfiddle.net/CoryDanielson/LzREv/5/
i have a parent div, which can change its size, depending on the available space. Within that div, i have floating divs. Now, i would like to have spacing between these divs, but no space to the parent div (see drawing).
Is there a way to do this with CSS?
Thank you
I found a solution, which at least helps in my situation, it probably is not suitable for other situations:
I give all my green child divs a complete margin:
margin: 10px;
And for the surrounding yellow parent div i set a negative margin:
margin: -10px;
I also had to remove any explicit width or height setting for the yellow parent div, otherwise it did not work.
This way, in absolute terms, the child divs are correctly aligned, although the parent yellow div obviously is set off, which in my case is OK, because it will not be visible.
You can do the following:
Assuming your container div has a class "yellow".
.yellow div {
// Apply margin to every child in this container
margin: 10px;
}
.yellow div:first-child, .yellow div:nth-child(3n+1) {
// Remove the margin on the left side on the very first and then every fourth element (for example)
margin-left: 0;
}
.yellow div:last-child {
// Remove the right side margin on the last element
margin-right: 0;
}
The number 3n+1 equals every fourth element outputted and will clearly only work if you know how many will be displayed in a row, but it should illustrate the example. More details regarding nth-child here.
Note: For :first-child to work in IE8 and earlier, a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared.
Note2: The :nth-child() selector is supported in all major browsers, except IE8 and earlier.
Add margin to your div style
margin:0 10px 10px 0;

I'm late to the party but... I've had a similar situation come up and I discovered padding-right (and bottom, top, left too, of course). From the way I understand its definition, it puts a padding area inside the inner div so there's no need to add a negative margin on the parent as you did with a margin.
padding-right: 10px;
This did the trick for me!
Is it not just a case of applying an appropriate class to each div?
For example:
.firstRowDiv { margin:0px 10px 10px 0px; }
.secondRowDiv { margin:0px 10px 0px 0px; }
This depends on if you know in advance which div to apply which class to.
A litte late answer.
If you want to use a grid like this, you should have a look at Bootstrap, It's relatively easy to install, and it gives you exactly what you are looking for, all wrapped in nice and simple html/css + it works easily for making websites responsive.
