The following layout 2 column layout will get screwed up by adding the <p>Hello</p>... Can anyone give me a clue?
<div style="width:1280px; font-size:0;">
<div style="width:640px; height:200px; background:blue; display:inline-block;">
<p>Hello</p>
</div>
<div style="width:640px; height:200px; background:yellow; display:inline-block"></div>
</div>
I could see if the height of the "p" was actually larger than 200px, but it isn't. So why doesn't it just go inside of its parent and stop messing with my layout?
To fix this, I ended up making the layout column divs relative, and using the absolute position on a child div that would be the container of the "p", but it seems like there is something obvious I am missing to make this situation simpler...
Inline-block does leave some whitespace that is undesired most of the time do to spaces in your code. The best solution I think is to float it and use 50% for the width.
div {
float: right;
width: 50%;
height: 200px;
background:blue;
}
the p tag will go in nicely.

Inline block items are vertically aligned as baseline by default. Add vertical-align:top

div {
font-size:0; /* remove whitespace */
}
div div {
font-size:1rem; /* reset font-size*/
vertical-align: top;
}

I have up to 4 divs on the page that will have to 'sit next to' each other horizontally. Each div will have 100% width.
All, but the first one, will therefore appear off the page until I style it otherwise (ultimately using jQuery).
How can I style the divs in order to achieve this?
Markup:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="panel">
</div>
<div class="panel">
</div>
<div class="panel">
</div>
<div class="panel">
</div>
</div>
What I've Tried
I've tried floating all of the divs left and setting the overflow of 'wrapper' to hidden. I've tried setting the display to inline-block of all the divs. I've tried position absolute on all the divs. I'm trying a combination of different things just hoping it'll work but there has to be a proper approach to this.
Tell me if some like this is what you want i use display:inline-block
http://jsfiddle.net/fdXLb/
Then i can do a better explanation.
if one div has a width of 100% there will be no space for another div to align next to this one.
so I would say to align them use only 20% width.
25% works also for 4 divs but then you can not use any borders, margin or padding.
also you can set a min-width in px.
have a look at this example: http://jsfiddle.net/3CpL8/
may it helps
.wrapper > div {
width:20%;
background-color:orange;
height:60px;
float:left;
min-width:100px;
margin:5px;
}
A nice trick is to use white-space: nowrap; to prevent divs moving to the next line. This is what your css would look like:
.wrapper {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
.wrapper > div {
width:100%;
background-color:red;
height:60px;
display: inline-block;
min-width:100px;
margin:5px;
}
Check out this Fiddle and use your browser's inspector it to see that the divs are still there, but off screen at the width you want. I assumed you'd want to continue using overflow-x: hidden; on the parent div so there wouldn't be an ugly scrollbar when doing the javascript side :)
It seems there are several posts on this topic but none of the solutions have worked for me. Perhaps someone can figure out what I'm missing.
I have three boxes floated next to each other like columns. Due to certain background images etc., each box is composed of two divs. The outer div has the class "calloutbox" and is floated left. Inside of "calloutbox" is another div called "callout-content" that holds the dynamic content (I'm using wordpress).
So far I have not been able to get the boxes to expand to fit their dynamically generated content. They collapse if I set height to 100%. I've tried a dozen combinations of overflow:hidden, clear:both etc. with no luck.
<div id="callout-container">
<div class="calloutbox">
<div class="callout-content">Dynamic content goes here</div>
</div>
<div class="calloutbox">
<div class="callout-content"></div>
</div>
<div class="calloutbox">
<div class="callout-content"></div>
</div>
</div>
Here is the css:
.calloutbox {
min-height:310px;
width:30%;
float:left;
margin:0 0 0 25px;
position:relative;
background-image:url(images/shadow.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:right bottom;
display:block;
}
.calloutbox:after {
clear:both;
}
.callout-content:after {
clear:both;
}
.calloutbox:nth-child(1) {
min-height:200px;
}
/*The content inside the three boxes on the homepage */
.callout-content {
height:100%;
width:90%;
right:8px;
border:1px solid #e6e4e4;
bottom: 8px;
background-color:white;
position:absolute;
background-image:url(images/yellow-title-bar.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-position:top;
padding: 0 10px 10px 10px;
}
Here's the code in a jsfiddle if that helps anyone: http://jsfiddle.net/daniec/r8ezY/
Thanks in advance!
They are not floated, they are absolutely-positioned.
Absolutely-positioned elements are no longer part of the layout. They no longer have parents are far as layouts are concerned. Therefore, you need to specify their sizes in pixels rather than percentages. Percentages are relative to the wrappers they no longer have.
Working with floats can be a pain. As an alternative, have you tried using to use inline-block:
display: inline-block;
It behaves like an inline element, but an be styled like a block level element. It does not work in IE6 though.
.calloutbox {
white-space:nowrap;
}
Should do the trick. otherwise try creating a jsfiddle, so we can run your code
I want to make a web page that uses 100% of screen space. I have two divs:
1st - menu with fixed width (~250px)
2nd - whats left
The misleading part for me is that the menu div is not in the 2nd div. They both are in a wrapper div (100% width). The problem is that if I write 100% width for the 2nd div, it goes below the menu. If I write less %, I cannot be sure how it will be displayed in smaller resolutions.
Is there is some negative sizing or something? ATM. 1st div floats left and 2nd div float right.
UDPATE: here is some code:
div.main {
width: 100%;
}
div.1st {
width: 250px;
float: left;
}
div.2nd {
width: 100%; #here should be the space that is left in the main div#
float: right;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="1st">menu</div>
<div class="2nd">content</div>
</div>
Problem: content could be as wide as it needs to so if string or objects in it is big enough 2nd div goes below 1st. Menu width is fixed.
UPDATE #2: if i leave content width empty then it will also goes below menu since content is wide enough
Take a look at this Post, there you have the correct solution:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail
You could do something like this : http://jsfiddle.net/steweb/78x8y/
markup:
<div id="container">
<div id="left">Width=> 250px, float left</div>
<!-- following div takes automatically the remaining width, no need to declare further css rules -->
<div id="remaining">Width => the remaining space</div>
</div>
css:
#container{
width: 100%;
float:left;
overflow:hidden; /* instead of clearfix div */
}
#left{
float:left;
width:250px;
background:red;
}
#remaining{
overflow: hidden;
background:#DEDEDE;
}
Yes, you can determine the width of absolutely positioned elements by setting left and right. This makes the browser solve the equation in the standard for width. See this demo for an example.
I have such structure (divs):
#content-wrapper->
#left
#center
#right
#footer
#footer
{
position: relative;
}
#content-wrapper
{
position: relative;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
min-height: 300px;
}
But when text in #center div is bigger, than min-height, it becomes over the #footer. What's wrong?
UPD:
Example address: link
Thanks for providing the content. It looks like this problem is happening because #content-center has a fixed height of 200px. Get rid of this (and the fixed height for #content-left and #content-right unless you have a really good reason to keep it), or change it to min-height instead, and the footer should show up below the content as expected.
You'll still run into some problems if #content-left or #content-right is the longest column. To deal with that, you could remove the footer from the #content-wrapper div -- set your structure up like this:
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content-left"></div>
<div id="content-right"></div>
<div id="content-center"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
you need a new item. a clearer wich clears the floating inside the main div
you dont need any of position:relative
you dont need any of the clear:both
but you need a new item inside the content-wrapper
this.
thats all.
floated divs like a points. they not affect the size of a div or the width
another nice solution to use the table stuff:
CSS 100% width in floated div
this is not really the answer, but i prefer you to use table displayed divs, and they can be resized, placed better than only floated divs.
So I got some divs... The aim here is to play with some hide-show effects.
<div class="container">
<div class="move">
Some dynamic content...
</div>
</div>
.container {
width:100px;
height:100%;
owerflow-y:hidden;
}
.move {
width:300px;
height:100%;
float:right;
}
The issue is that in ie7 the float right doesn't work. the .move div will stick left.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Thanks.
It is because your containers width is less than the contents.
ifyou choose the width of .container bigger, you'll see the effekt is working. If you want the .move to be in the container by DOM-Tree but not on the screen, use position: absolute.
You can use text-align:right instead of float:right with your current widths(Inner DIV with More than the Outer DIV width).
