I'm trying to get some floated elements to appear outside of a container on a drupal page that is using a theme based on Omega. my page is currently structured as such:
<h2>Some header text</h2>
<div class="grid-12 region region-content center" id="region-content">
<div class="container-12">
<div class="pricing-main-background">
<div class="grid-4 plan-box-orange">
</div>
<div class="grid-4 plan-box-green">
</div>
<div class="grid-4 plan-box-orange">
</div>
<div class="pricing-subtext">
some more text down here
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here's a sketch of what I'd like to accomplish (notice the smaller boxes outside of the container):
Visual Aid
Can anyone help provide a way to make this work (preferrably that doesn't require a mess of CSS when the boxes stack (at 480px)?
Something like this?
h2
{
width:60%;
border:1px solid black;
border-bottom:0;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
.grid-12
{
width:60%;
border:1px solid black;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
.pricing-main-background {position:relative;}
.plan-box-orange {background:orange;}
.plan-box-green {background:green;}
.grid-4
{
display:inline-block;
width:30%;
height:50px;
margin-top:25px;
}
.grid-4:nth-of-type(1)
{
position:absolute;
left:-10%;
}
.grid-4:nth-of-type(3)
{
position:absolute;
right:-10%;
}

This is what I want:
I tried this approach with no luck (gotten from here). This is the unwanted result:
I guess it doesn't work because I'm using Twitter Bootstrap and span:
<div id=containerOfButtonAndInput class="container span12">
But how could I do it then?
Why don't you use CSS? Use something like this:
<div id="outer-container">
<div id="container">
<div id="label">Your Label<input id="input" /></div>
<div style="height:10px"> </div>
<div id="button">Your Button</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#outer-container{
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
width:500px;
height:200px;
background-color:#eee;
}
#container{
width:300px;
height:100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color:#ccc;
}
#label{
float:right;
}
#button{
float:right;
}
No magic here. Just regular formatting. Just don't be afraid of div-tags. Maybe you need more containers around your mask.
See the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Ahg5c/1/.
I think it's my lack of css knowledge, but i don't get this thing working. My purpose is to have a container div which have the MAXIUMUM witdh of 800px and aligned in the middle of the page, with one or two elements per 'row', depending on the available screen-space. But in the example you see that the whole 800px is taken. How to accomplish that the 800px is only the max?
HTML:
<div style="background-color:red;max-width:800px;display: inline-block">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.contentgedeelte {
width:310px;
background:white;
margin:10px;
float:left;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/plunje/LmJSy/
OK, here you go:
#container {
width:800px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
.row {
display:inline-block;
background:red;
margin:0 auto;
}
.contentgedeelte {
width:310px;
background:white;
margin:10px;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
You'll need to add a .row element to wrap your contentgedeeltes in pairs (if that's how you want them displayed). To be honest you're better off just calculating the widths properly, but if you really can't, try this. Also, I've taken your container element, remove the inline styling and added the ID #container.
Use display: block; instead of inline.
Inline-block is for elements which line up side by side, not for pagewraps. If this is a center of the page container there is no need to display inline.
If you want the articles to display as inline elements, that seems to work.
Or just tally your styles to add up to 400px instead of 340px.
You need a little more structure. See below.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
<div class="contentgedeelte">
<h2>nieuws</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container {
max-width: 800px;
background-color: red;
padding: 1em;
overflow: hidden;
}
.contentgedeelte {
width:48%;
background:white;
margin:1%;
float:left;
border-radius:5px;
padding:5px;
display: block;
}
I already have seen a couple of questions going in this direction, but nothing helped. Everyone says just set the parent div position to relative and the child ones to absolute. But my problem is that every div is at the 0/0 point of my parent div. It seems the inner elements doesn't know from each other.
Here is what my page should look like:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/854/unbenanntgoc.png/
In my html I just define my divs:
<div id="content">
<div id="header" />
<div id="naviContent" />
<div id="imageContent" />
<div id="tagContent" />
<div id="textContent" />
</div>
So navi image and tag content divs should float.
And this is how my css looks like:
#charset "utf-8";
body {
background-color:#33FF00;
}
#header {
height:100px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
position:relative;
}
#naviContent {
width:25%;
background-color:#F0F;
float:left;
}
#imageContent {
background-color:#000;
position:absolute;
float:left;
width:800px;
height:600px;
}
#tagContent {
background-color:#900;
position:absolute;
float:left;
width: 25%;
}
#textContent {
background-color:#0000FF;
clear:both;
}
#content {
height:1600px;
width:1200px;
background-color:#999999;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding:10px;
position:relative;
}
So maybe anyone can tell me why all my elements (black, yellow, red, grey and green) are positioned to the 0/0 point of the pink one?
Thanks in advance
You need to close the DIV properly -
<div id="content">
<div id="header">Header </div>
<div id="naviContent">Nav</div>
<div id="imageContent">Image</div>
<div id="tagContent"> Tags</div>
<div id="textContent">Text </div>
</div>
EDIT: Working Fiddle You need to adjust floated width and you are done!
Position absolute is not the standard way of laying out a page.
What you should do is just remove the position attribute, float everything left and set widths (please note you will need content in the div for it to render correctly).
You might want to look into CSS grid systems such as 960.gs as they handle this part of development for you in a standardised way using pre-defined classes.
you should code like this : - http://tinkerbin.com/J9CCZXRL
CSS
#content {
background:pink;
width:500px;
padding:10px;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
overflow:hidden;
}
#header {
background:red;
height:100px;
}
#left {
background:green;
width:100px;
height:400px;
float:left;
}
#middle {
background:blue;
width:260px;
float:left;
height:400px;
margin-left:10px;
}
#right {
background:yellow;
width:100px;
float:right;
height:400px;
}
#footer {
background:grey;
height:100px;
clear:both;
}
HTML
<div id="content">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="middle"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
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:
